Chapter 2 Cheng Chumo
Anger suddenly appeared on the captain's dark face. He wanted to cut Wang Ning'an into pieces. His mission was to collect food and grass. Now that Wang Ning'an's father made him unable to complete his mission, how could he not be angry?
Wang Ning'an did not deny it because the other party was angry: "It is precisely because of the drought in Guanzhong that the people were in dire straits. Yanchang County had already eaten up all the food they could eat. In order to prevent the people from eating up the grain grown in the second half of the year, my father ordered his men
Distribute the collected military rations to the people.
Now my father has prepared a coffin and had it tied up. He is planning to bear the burden of sin and plead guilty. He hopes that the general will punish him alone and not harm the people.
If my father was a heinous person, I would not plead for him, let alone risk my life to plead for mercy, but everything he did was to prolong the life of the people of the county.
As a son of man, the boy could not help his father and watch him being executed by the court.
So I decided to help my father plead for mercy, hoping that the general would see that my father is devoted to the people and that I will become a general and win Xiazhou for the Tang Dynasty, so that the imperial court can treat my father lightly."
The captain was not in the mood to listen to the young man's words at this time. His heart was full of anger. It could be said that he was blinded by the anger. He ordered to the left and right: "Come here, tie him up and hand him over to the general."
"yes."
Two soldiers immediately jumped off their horses and tied up Wang Ning'an. Wang Ning'an did not resist at all and allowed the two soldiers to trap him tightly. As long as he could see the general, it didn't matter how he got there.
A soldier said: "Sir Captain, it may not be appropriate to arrest a young man to meet the general. After all, he is not the mastermind."
"You're right. You almost forgot about his father. Take him with you to Yanchang County and arrest his father together to see the general."
"Yes." The soldiers roared.
Wang Ning'an was thrown onto the back of a horse by a soldier and suffered pain in his abdomen. He didn't care at all, as long as he could see Chai Shao. He knew that General Youwei was Chai Shao.
But when he heard what the captain said, he became anxious and shouted loudly: "Sir, captain, I know you are very angry, but time waits for no one. If you go to Yanchang County now, even if you don't eat or drink, you will have to go back and forth."
It takes three days.
And in three days, I can help the general defeat Liang Shidu and seize Xiazhou."
The captain was so angry that he wanted to kill the boy's father, so he was still in the mood to listen to the boy's words.
He stepped on the horse with one step, waved his whip, and the horse ran wildly towards Yanchang County, followed by more than a dozen soldiers.
The lieutenant muttered to himself in a daze: "To attack Liang's capital and capture Xiazhou, this is a century-old plan of the imperial court. There can be no mistakes at all. Now there is a mistake in the military rations, which may lead to the failure of the plan.
In serious cases, Liang Shidu could rise up and become a serious threat to the Tang Dynasty. With the help of the Turks, Liang Shidu could threaten Chang'an and the imperial court would fall into a passive position. All this is your father's fault.
Your father is a sinner through the ages. We have all committed the sin of negligence and cannot be forgiven. Now I really want to kill your father and cut him into pieces.
No, it's my fault too, I didn't collect enough military rations, and I brought shame to the old Cheng family."
At the end, his words were full of anger and murderous intent, and he looked into the eyes of the young man.
Even the gods were filled with chills.
The more I talked, the angrier I became, and the angrier I became, the more confused my brain became, and my whole body began to feel uncomfortable.
"Stop."
Everyone stopped.
The soldier next to the captain and his personal guard saw that the captain's eyes were red and knew that he was going to vent his anger on Wang Ning'an. They immediately stopped him and said: "Sir Captain, please calm down. Nothing can happen to this young man. Can you help us solve this problem?
Trouble, you may have to rely on him."
The captain pushed the guard away and said angrily: "Fuck him, I'm relying on him. Let me beat him up first and let him go."
"You can't hit me. I can help General Chai Shao capture Xiazhou. If you hit me, the general will be defeated. That's when your old Cheng family will be truly embarrassed." Wang Ning'an shouted in fear.
Are you not afraid? I was whipped not long ago, and it still hurts a little. If a person who lets his anger burn out his rationality whips himself, Wang Ning'an has no doubt that he will be killed alive.
But no matter how loud Wang Ning'an shouted, Captain Cheng still walked slowly towards him with a riding crop, and there were two soldiers behind him hugging him tightly, but they still couldn't stop him from wanting to beat Wang Ning'an.
Seeing Captain Cheng getting closer and closer, Wang Ning'an knew that no matter how much he shouted, it was useless. An angry person really couldn't listen to anything, so he could only close his eyes and turn his head, hoping that he would not hit him later.
His face, he still relies on his face to make a living.
Only Wang Ning'an and no one else could be seen in Captain Cheng's red eyes. He raised his whip high and swung it down hard without saying a word.
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
Two screams suddenly appeared at the scene.
Wang Ning'an opened his eyes and said in disbelief: "I don't feel any pain at all. It turns out that it really doesn't hurt if I scream."
However, as soon as he raised his head, he realized that it wasn't that he didn't feel pain, it was because someone helped him block the whip, and he also knew who made the other scream.
With tears in his eyes, Wang Ning'an said: "Brother, thank you very much. Please stand still. My safety depends entirely on you."
The soldier ignored Wang Ning'an and shouted to Colonel Cheng, who was about to crack his whip again: "Master Colonel, please wake up."
Captain Cheng became less angry because of the whip just now. Hearing the shouts of the soldiers again, he finally regained consciousness and lowered what he had just raised.
Seeing the two soldiers surrounding him and the soldier blocking the front, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked: "What are you doing? What happened? Did I...did I lose my mind again?"
When all the soldiers saw that Colonel Cheng had regained his senses, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts dropped.
One of the bodyguards cupped his fists and said, "Master Xiaowei, that boy just said he could help the general capture Xiazhou and defeat Liang Shidu."
"What did you say?" Cheng Xiaowei asked again in disbelief, forgetting what happened just now.
"How crazy is this man?" Wang Ning'an thought secretly, and at the same time secretly prayed to the soldiers around him, praying that they would stay away from this captain.
The guard repeated helplessly: "That boy said he could defeat Liang Shidu and help the army capture Xiazhou."
He cursed in his heart: "My voice shouldn't be soft. Why can't the captain hear it? It must be because I just woke up."
Captain Cheng looked at Wang who was tied up and thrown on the horse.
Ning An asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
Wang Ning'an nodded quickly and said: "Of course it is true, otherwise why would I risk being killed by you to stop your complaints? I can't possibly be joking with my own life and my father's life, right?"
Captain Cheng nodded and said, "How much do you make me believe this?"
He felt happy, but he quickly calmed down and thought to himself: A fifteen-year-old boy, he knows nothing.
When Wang Ning'an saw Captain Cheng's face showing a smile for a while, and then a look of suspicion, he knew that the other party still didn't believe him, so he became nervous again, and shouted again: "I need to lie to Captain Cheng.
My father has committed a mortal sin, and now I am in your hands, and the only way to save me and our son is to win this battle so that my father can redeem himself."
He knew that he was a man of few words, and that the other party did not know him and it was normal not to believe him. He could only do his best, obey fate, and try his best to persuade the other party.
It was imperative to save himself and his father Wang Ning'an. He didn't want to die. He still had great years. He had just arrived in the Tang Dynasty and had not yet met the second comrade known as the emperor of the ages, Cheng Yaojin, and Fang Xuanling.
, Changsun Wuji and other civil servants and generals, how could he die like this?
At this moment, another guard said: "Captain, are his words credible? If what he said is true, this is an opportunity. But if it is false, we will delay the delivery of military rations.
The general will definitely deal with us and others according to military law."
The captain stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice with a displeased look on his face: "This captain has his own opinions, so don't say more."
Wang Ning'an was overjoyed. Knowing this, she began to believe in herself, and continued: "Actually, it is easy to check this matter. You can send a person to Yanchang County to inquire and you will know the truth.
My father's name is Wang Liangping, and he is the magistrate of Yanchang County. My name is Wang Ning'an, and I am a famous child prodigy in Yanchang County. He can recite poems and write poems at the age of three. Under the influence of my father, he is a kind-hearted person, and everyone in the country knows that I am a child prodigy.
As a good little man, at the age of fifteen this year, I will wait for His Majesty to hold the imperial examination and become an official, and my son will inherit his father's legacy.
I don’t know why my father supported him so much when he was helping the victims. Now the victims can survive the disaster safely, but my father and son are about to lose their lives.
I am unwilling and angry. If I am unforgivable, I will accept my fate. But our father and son are for the people. I am not convinced. I want to resist and fight for a chance of survival for myself.
Mr. Captain, this is why I would rather risk my life to block the road than wait for death at home like my father. If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate."
Wang Ning'an became more and more excited as he spoke, venting his anger, injustice, dissatisfaction and unwillingness.
Seeing this, the captain became more convinced, but he still had some doubts in his heart and said: "I understand your mood. If I were you, I would also feel unfair and dissatisfied. But this is not enough for you to convince me.
"
Wang Ning'an thought about it again and said, "Don't you know the surname of the captain?"
"I don't want to change my name in business, and I don't want to change my surname in my life, so does Cheng Chumo. What, kid, do you want to take revenge on me?" Cheng Chumo looked at Wang Ning'an contemptuously.
Wang Ning'an only had the word Cheng Chumo in his mind at this time, and did not hear Cheng Chumo's last words at all.
