Chapter 50: Official career
In Xiniu Hezhou, six warships slowly passed by in the sky, and the wind was waving on the mast was the big flag of waves and sharp swords.
Zeng Bugui slowly poked his head out with the side of the ship, without the expected uniform military formation, nor did he have demon soldiers all over the mountains, nor even a little shout of killing. Some were just corpses and smoke everywhere, and only the silence of the whistle and wind.
The heavenly soldiers who rushed to the warship to rescue couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"Are we late?"
Zeng Bugui half-squinted his eyes and searched carefully.
Unexpectedly, most of the people lying on the battlefield were demon soldiers, and almost no corpses of the soldiers of the Tianhe Shui Army were seen.
"What's going on?" Even he couldn't understand.
"There are some living!" The heavenly soldier standing on the mast suddenly pointed ahead and shouted.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked in the direction he pointed.
Far from afar, they saw a soldier from the Tianhe Navy on the hillside waving to them.
"We're here-! Here!"
Zeng Bugui took a deep breath and said, "Go and take a look."
As he said that, he had already taken two other generals to the sky and flew towards the soldier.
...
After crossing the broken limb, he stepped onto the charred land.
Figures immediately appeared around them, which were armor covered with blood and mud. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell that they were soldiers of the Tianhe Water Army. They were all dark and scarred faces, and only eyes were left rolling around.
Dai Tiande walked step by step from a distance, limping.
His body was also covered with blood, and he could no longer see his original tender and clean appearance. His cloak was missing, and half of his shoulder armor was even more uncovered by some weapons.
The blood dripping from the shoulder dripped down the drooping arms.
"General." He seemed to be gasping heavily because of overdrawing his spiritual power, his eyes were a little dazed.
He reached out and patted Dai Tiande on the shoulder. Zeng Bugui widened his eyes and asked softly, "What happened?"
Before Dai Tiande could answer, Zeng Bugui asked again, "Where is Zhu Gangli?"
"Brother Gang Li... is there." Dai Tiande pointed to the side weakly.
It was a blue tent that was obviously built from the soldiers' cloak.
Without a moment of hesitation, Zeng Bugui hurriedly took his subordinates to walk over quickly.
Along the way, he saw countless soldiers of the Tianhe Navy Army who were gathered together and stared blankly at Zeng Bulu.
When he opened the curtain mat, Zeng Bugui saw the pig Gang-mane lying on the mat.
Maybe only the bloody and bloody appearance can be described.
There was almost no good piece of meat all over my body, and every inch of my skin was covered with blood, and it was impossible to tell whether it was an enemy or his own.
The fist was still clenched tightly, trembling constantly.
Turning his eyes slightly, he looked at Zeng Bugui and said in a faint and almost inaudible voice: "General... are you here?"
"What's going on?"
Dai Tiande behind him whispered: "Brother Gangli led us to kill all the besieged demon troops. There are more enemy troops than those in the battle report, two thousand..."
Before he finished speaking, Zeng Bugui had already grabbed Dai Tiande's collar and shouted loudly: "Didn't you tell you to support the reinforcements until they arrive?"
"I can't wait--!" Dai Tiande also roared suddenly.
Both of them had their eyes widened.
In an instant, Dai Tiande's tears came out.
After a while, he snorted and said, "They knew we were waiting for reinforcements and would not give us a chance. We... we could only attack at night and attack unexpectedly. Otherwise, we would not survive. General, we should do our best."
Looking at Dai Tiande, Zeng Bugui was stunned and slowly let go of his hand holding his collar.
"How many brothers are there left?" Zhu Gangli asked blankly.
Dai Tiande hurriedly walked to Zhu Gangli, held his hand and whispered: "Brother Gangli, forty-five people have been killed in battle. Including the wounded soldiers, there are still one hundred and one person left."
Zhu Gangli took out the task post from his arms, trembled slightly, and handed it over little by little.
The bloodshot eyes were staring at the old man who had never returned.
"General." Dai Tiande said carefully: "You said you would take more than 100 brothers to wait for you to come, one hundred and one, have we calculated... completed the task?"
Looking at Zhu Gangli's gradually dim eyes and looking at the blood-stained task post delivered, Zeng Bugui was stunned for a moment.
The next moment, he roared suddenly: "Pills! Why are you still standing there? Use pills to save people--!"
"No!" The two generals following ran out in panic.
Zhu Gangli slowly closed his eyes.
...
"The head of the enemy general has been found."
"Register, bookmark!"
...
"General, this is the golden elixir given to you by General Tianfu!"
"Bring it! Why don't there be so much nonsense!"
...
"Everyone withdraws the warship and returns, and you can't stay here anymore. You two, carry Gang Li to the warship and give him my room!"
...
"Thank you for your hard work. You can rest as well and take care of your wounds."
"No...No."
...
Opening his eyes slightly, Zhu Gangli saw himself lying in the cabin of the warship, sitting not far away without returning.
Several heavenly soldiers were busy beside him.
"Don't worry, your military achievements have been reported. This time, you did a beautiful job."
Grinning, Zhu Gangli smiled hard.
...
Visit the sky mansion.
Jiao Mujiao opened his eyes slightly and glared at the bearded general standing in the middle of the hall.
For a moment, I was a little panicked that day.
"You said, the nine-headed insect is really in Wanshou Mountain, and Zhu Gangli didn't lie?"
The sky was sweating like rain and nodded.
"When the patrol general passed by Wanshou Mountain, he did hear the cries of the nine-headed insects."
"So, isn't Zhu Gangli faked the war report?"
The generals blinked blankly, not daring to answer the conversation.
After a while, Jiao Mujiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go, call Zhu Gangli for me."
"He... has resigned."
"Resignation?"
"I heard that I went to the Tianhe Water Army."
With a heavy palm slapped on the table, Jiao Mujiao angrily shouted: "Then go and find him back! Immediately!"
"No...No!" The general of heaven was so scared that he bowed and left the hall.
...
In the camp, Zhu Gangli was still recovering from his injuries and had not returned to visit him. He was talking about something.
Suddenly, a heavenly soldier hurried in and bowed and said, "Report to General Xuntian Mansion, the emperor sent someone to come over, saying that he wanted General Gangli to go back."
"Go back?" Zeng Bugui frowned and said, "What does it mean?"
"They said that General Gangli was their patrolman."
"What's this? I remember that the procedures for resigning from office were handled very well." As he said that, Zeng Bugui glanced at Zhu Gangli quietly. Seeing that Zhu Gangli did not respond, he said directly: "Reply to them, and said that Gangli is now a member of our Tianhe Water Army and has nothing to do with their patrol of Tianfu."
"Yes..." The Tianbing carefully added: "It was sent by the prefect of the Heavens Palace and the Jiao Mu Jiao Xingjun."
"The same is true for Your Majesty!" With a bang, I once re-put the teacup in my hand on the table and said, "Gangli is now a member of our Tianhe Water Army, my soldier! Our Tianhe Water Army is different from them. We will not let go of talents like Gangli!"
"No!" The soldiers had to withdraw from outside the camp.
Looking back, I saw Zhu Gangli smiling.
"how?"
"Nothing." Zhu Gangli shook his head and said, "That's right, I'm used to being bullied and having a boss who protects himself and even the prefect of the Heavenly Prefecture dares to take the blame."
"Hey, what's the matter? It's better to be in charge now." Zeng Bugui chuckled and said, "It's even General Tianfu is here, your uncle Zeng, I am the same."
He picked up the knife, cut the fruit, and said, "Didn't you protect those soldiers like this that day? If you didn't protect them, they would have died long ago. How could a hundred people come back? However, if you didn't protect them, you wouldn't be so seriously injured. Recover your injuries. In the future, stay in the Tianhe Water Army. There will always be endless tasks here, and as long as you can complete them, you will have endless merits. Hahaha."
As he said that, he threw the peeled fruit into Zhu Gangli's hands.
