Chapter 959: There Must Be Demons
When people are silent, they really do laugh.
Chen Wuji cursed, lifted his leg, and his two mighty, heavy feet kicked toward Qian Fugui's buttocks.
This bastard, what a mess of nonsense he has in his head.
Does he really lack those two bites of food now?
"My lord, calm down, calm down!" Qian Fugui, after taking two kicks, begged for mercy while turning and running.
"Stand there for me! Stop!" Chen Wuji shouted angrily.
Qian Fugui stopped his steps from afar, "My lord, I misunderstood, I was wrong, wrong!"
"Get over here!"
Qian Fugui rubbed his buttocks and said embarrassedly, "My lord, it really hurts..."
"Come over!"
Qian Fugui suddenly straightened his body and shouted loudly, "Reporting to my lord, the deputy general suddenly has a stomachache and asks permission to defecate!"
"Damn your ass, someone grab that brat and bring him over!" Chen Wuji barked.
Facing the personal guard who came rushing over with a fierce aura, Qian Fugui honestly stopped his steps.
He also knew how fierce the personal guard beside the lord was; running was definitely impossible.
"Run, you brat, keep running for me!" Chen Wuji seized Qian Fugui and kicked his buttocks with several mighty, heavy feet, "You actually dare to defy orders—have you really grown wings now?"
"My lord, no, no, it really hurts!" Qian Fugui said with a mournful face.
He now also wants to give himself two slaps; why does his head get hot and think of that place?
"That guy named Yang Yong, go try it, let you also broaden your horizons!" Chen Wuji shouted.
He merely thinks of that sort of thing and feels nauseous all over, yet this brat actually thinks he wants to take Yang Yong for a non-vegetarian meal.
"No, my lord, wrong, truly wrong!" Qian Fugui hurriedly shouted, "The deputy general just subconsciously had his mind wander..."
Chen Wuji grunted, released Qian Fugui, strode into the camp tent, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Feeling nauseous, he needed to rinse his appetite with tea.
Qian Fugui followed in, rubbing his buttocks.
Those kicks weren't held back at all; he felt his buttocks had grown a size larger, and going out he could probably compare with the courtesans' girls to see who's more perky.
Chen Wuji stared hatefully at Qian Fugui for a moment, "You just said Guiling County has four great generals—who is the other one?"
"My lord, there's also one named She Wen gui!" Qian Fugui answered immediately.
"This person was originally a mountain bandit, later drawn in by Snake Staff Old Man, becoming one of the four great generals. Among the four great generals, he is also the most special; this person did not follow Snake Staff Old Man's orders to forcibly conscript the populace, controlling them with A Furong."
"After becoming one of the four great generals, he brought people down the mountain, roamed around Guiling County, engaged in banditry and looting, and recruited subordinates with the money seized."
"He is the only one among the four great generals who spends silver to recruit troops, and his looting targets are the wealthy, giving him a certain 'rob the rich to help the poor' sentiment."
Chen Wuji gave Qian Fugui a strange look, "Could it be because ordinary commoners have no profit, so he can't be bothered to lift that hand?"
"That's also possible."
Chen Wuji slowly sipped his tea, his gaze deepening, "Lin Mao ming and the three gathered together and fled, yet only She Wen gui was left behind—does this person not get along with Lin Mao ming and the three?"
"Such rumors do exist, but it's unknown if they're true." Qian Fugui said, "However, She Wen gui's responsibility was originally the southern part of Guiling County; he hasn't shown up yet, which seems reasonable enough."
"Moreover, our intelligence on She Wen gui is scant; perhaps he simply took another route and might meet up with Lin Mao ming and the three elsewhere—it's uncertain."
Chen Wuji nodded, "In the rumors you've heard, why do Lin Mao ming and the three not get along with She Wen gui?"
"They look down on each other." Qian Fugui said, "However, Lin Mao ming and the three aren't all thick as thieves; they aren't that harmonious either, and it's said that Yang Yong once almost got killed by Lin Mao ming."
"Why does the lord suddenly pay attention to them? This bunch of grandsons, the lord merely knowing their names already gives them face."
Chen Wuji calmly looked at Qian Fugui, "Damn, you're really getting full of yourself now; on the battlefield, no one should be looked down upon. You've been made a mess by them, yet you still look down on them?"
"This…" Qian Fugui rubbed his nose.
"Or do you still think they're relying on geographical advantage?"
Qian Fugui leaned on his head, stayed silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Damn it, later you write me a ten-thousand-word self-criticism!" Chen Wuji cursed.
"If you win this battle and still look down on them, I could somewhat understand, but after months you've made me into this sorry state and still dare to look down? Motherfucker, the more I think, the angrier I get—twenty thousand characters, miss one and I'll flay your skin!"
Most of the time, Chen Wuji is gentle and refined, just like a Confucian general.
But only old-timers like Qian Fugui truly know how ruthless this lord Chen Wuji is.
Qian Fugui's eyes suddenly widened, his face instantly fell, "My lord, twenty thousand…"
"If you utter another word, I'll add a thousand characters!"
Qian Fugui immediately shut his mouth!
Better to be honest.
But twenty thousand characters…
This is going to take his old life!
"Get lost, before sunset I want to see your self-criticism—miss one character and you get a military cane; you figure it out yourself!" Chen Wuji waved his hand dismissively.
Qian Fugui instantly felt thunder rumbling above his head, a inner wail—done, totally done!
Before sunset, twenty thousand characters—this clearly is demanding his life!
"Here!"
Responding with a mournful face, Qian Fugui turned and left.
Time waits for no one; he must write now, immediately, at once.
Chen Li chuckled, "This brat really has gotten a bit arrogant lately; he needs some knocking down."
"He can't lose his arrogance, but he also can't let it go too far, to the point of despising the enemy." Chen Wuji handed Chen Li a cup of tea, "His arrogance is also courage, but it's always a double-edged sword; I thought the more battles he fought, the more mature he'd become, but instead he's turned out the opposite for me."
Chen Li deeply agreed, nodding while sipping tea and smacking his lips, "Is the family head interested in She Wen gui?"
"Generally, I just suspect this might be another move left by the Snake Staff Elder; it's uncertain, but the forces under She Wengui are likely the true Shocking Mountain Army." Chen Wuji murmured.
"A unit that clearly differs from the others, and even feeds its troops with real gold and silver—this is no easy feat."
"In this era, there are hardly any units that pay their Soldiers."
"And the usual practice of mountain bandits and outlaws is that the higher-ups eat meat while those below merely lick the meat broth; bandits who receive military pay are virtually unheard of."
"When things go against the norm, there must be demons and evil!"
"Shi Yi Shu, send Scouts to investigate She Wengui's whereabouts. This person, I suspect is even harder to deal with than the other three; he might truly be the Snake Staff Elder's right-hand man." Chen Wuji ordered in a low voice.
