Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 465 What's the Difference

Liu Dexiang looked in the direction Zhang Yuan pointed and only vaguely saw a few figures.

He thought to himself, this shape looks similar to that of a human, so why is it called a savage?
The wind on the city wall always sounded like someone was pouring sand into it. Liu Dexiang took out his handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose. "Is there anyone among them who can understand Mandarin?"

"No." Zhang Yuan realized that his reply was too rash, and added: "The leader of their tribe can speak some Liangzhou dialect, but the leader is too arrogant and didn't come."

Liu Dexiang frowned, "Then how do you communicate with them?" The dissatisfaction in his words did not seem to be directed at the savages under the wall, but more like dissatisfaction with Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan sneered in his heart, but pretended to be respectful on the surface, "My Lord, let me show you."

"Show me?" Liu Dexiang snorted, his voice muffled under his handkerchief, "Can you show me clearly?"

"I can probably understand it, but if I really can't understand it, there's nothing I can do," said Zhang Yuan.

"That won't work." Liu Dexiang came up with another plan, "Since the court has asked us to deal with Jie Maru, we must make them understand what we are saying."

Zhang Yuan said, "Your Excellency has thought of this very carefully. I am just a soldier and have never thought of this before."

He flattered the person in a sarcastic way and that was it, without continuing at all.

Liu Dexiang didn't hear any solution he offered, so he waited, but after waiting for a long time, Zhang Yuan still didn't speak.

He could only continue speaking, "You have to keep this in mind."

Zhang Yuan nodded, "Yes, yes, I will take your instructions to heart. However, please understand that I only know how to wield swords and guns, and I have never taught people to speak. I don't know where to start."

Liu Dexiang curled his lips behind his handkerchief and said in a more serious tone, "You don't have to do things you haven't done before? What is the purpose of the court giving you a salary?

You figure it out yourself, this matter must be handled for this government!" Zhang Yuan bent over and listened beside him without answering.

Seeing Zhang Yuan like this, Liu Dexiang became even more dissatisfied with this man. He glanced at him and said, "Put your things down."

"Yes!" Zhang Yuan responded, then turned around and gave orders to the guards below.

These things filled more than a dozen large baskets. During the inspection, Zhang Yuan followed Liu Dexiang.

Liu Dexiang was checking whether the things prepared by their government office had been replaced, while Zhang Yuan was concerned about the baskets and hanging ropes.

Before lowering the rope, Zhang Yuan instructed, "It's hard to see clearly at night, so you guys who are pulling the rope must be careful. If there is any unusual movement under your hands, cut the rope immediately.

The baskets that have been lowered will not be retrieved, and the ropes hanging on them must be cut off as soon as they hit the ground."

"understood!"

Liu Dexiang never took the handkerchief off his face. He watched the basket being put down and the savage making noises below. He listened carefully and found a language he could not understand. The tone was sharp, like the roar of a wild beast. He thought to himself, no wonder he was called a savage.

In the dark night, it was impossible to see the movements of the savages clearly. Zhang Yuan was in fear the whole time, and he was not relieved until more than a dozen guards cut the ropes.

After checking each rope one by one, he returned to Liu Dexiang and reported, "Sir, everything has been put down."

Liu Dexiang said nothing and turned away.

Zhang Yuan knew that his action showed his dissatisfaction with him, but he didn't care. He had already offended him, so what difference did it make whether he offended him more or less?
