Chapter 394
"Sir, we are both loyal to you and have never had two minds!" Xu Da knelt on the ground, crying.
He had to cry! If he didn't express his emotions, he would probably lose his life.
"Humph, you still say you are loyal, but you didn't even mention Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion. Do you know how much damage he brought to Dayan City?"
"Corpses were everywhere, blood flowed like a river. The granary was burned, and the food and grass of 100,000 troops were burned. The most hateful thing is that more than 30% of the maids and guards in my harem were lost. If it weren't for my men fighting to the death to protect them, the loss might be even greater." Li Hao looked at Xu Da and the others and said fiercely.
"I am guilty of death." Xu Da and Chang Yuchun kowtowed and shouted.
"Very good, since you know it is a capital crime, then you should end your own lives. Such a big thing has happened, and your death is not enough to appease the public anger. Only with your heads can we commemorate the tens of thousands of residents who died in Dayan City." Li Hao took a sip and said coldly.
"Thank you, Master." Xu Da and Chang Yuchun looked at Xiao Zhao and poured them a full glass of fine wine, and said with tears in their eyes.
"Okay, now that things have come to this, there is no need to say more, you can go as soon as possible!" Li Hao waved his hand and said.
After all, he was his right-hand man who had followed him for many days. Seeing the two of them take the wine, Li Hao still felt a little bit reluctant, so he could only turn his head away and not look at them.
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, the two looked at each other, took the wine cup in the jade basin in Xiao Zhao's hand, and drank it down.
"Ah" As the wine went down, the two of them felt a cramp in their stomachs, and this pain was heart-wrenching.
In just one breath, two veterans with great martial arts skills, who were not afraid of life and death, fought on the battlefield, and survived hundreds of battles, actually rolled on the ground holding their stomachs.
"Hoo hoo..." After rolling on the ground for a while, the two men collapsed on the ground with their bodies weak. At this time, they looked miserable, with messy hair and sweat and mud on their faces.
"How is it? You have died once. Talk about your feelings when you die." Li Hao suddenly stood up, walked to Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, and asked loudly.
"We... are not dead." Xu Da replied weakly.
The cramps in his stomach just now made him really think that he was going to die.
"It's easy to die, I can help you immediately. If you want to come back to life after death, I don't have the ability." Li Hao said lightly.
It's not that he didn't think about killing Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. After all, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun were Zhu Yuanzhang's destined generals, and it was unknown whether it would be a blessing or a curse to keep them.
Unfortunately, although he had many experts, there were too few who could lead troops to fight, and even fewer who could command hundreds of thousands of troops.
If there was no one to replace them, Li Hao would not have such a headache.
"Thank you for not killing me. I, Xu Da, swear that if I have any dishonest heart towards you, I will be struck by lightning and will not enter reincarnation after death."
"Thank you for not killing me. I, Chang Yuchun, swear that if I have any dishonest heart towards you, I will be struck by lightning and will not enter reincarnation after death."
Seeing that the two had escaped, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun swore to be loyal to Li Hao.
"Remember what you two said today. If something like this happens again, I will make you regret coming to this world." Li Hao said coldly, and then turned back to his seat.
After drinking the wine poured by Yao Yue, Li Hao took his beautiful wife and concubines back to the rear camp to rest.
"Please stand up, generals! You all know that the young master had no choice. Zhu Chongba rebelled, and 30% of the buildings in Dayan City were burned down, and tens of thousands of residents were killed or injured. Even the lady and the little master in her belly almost fell into their hands. If it weren't for the guards who fought to the death to stop them, I probably wouldn't be able to stand in front of you and talk now."
"Originally, the Li family's counselors proposed to remove the military power of the two generals and then take them to Dayan City to be punished. If I'm not mistaken, if they really let them deal with the two generals, it's probably either lingchi or five horses torn apart. If it's the literati who do the work, it's the most insidious and cruel." Xiao Zhao said with a face full of fear.
"Madam Xiao Zhao is right. If we brothers fall into the hands of those literati, we will probably lose a layer of skin even if we don't die. Those literati are full of thieves and prostitutes. They have no ability at all and only think about how to get benefits." Chang Yuchun said angrily.
"Shut up and listen to Madam Xiao Zhao. Don't interrupt me." Xu Da's face darkened and he shouted at Chang Yuchun.
"In the end, the young master overcame all the opposition and forcibly suppressed the suggestions of the counselors, allowing the two generals to lead the army to set up camp on Mount Tai. And the young master was onlyI will go to the military camp to meet you. From this, we can see how much trust the young master has in you two generals. "Xiao Zhao smiled and explained while picking up the Jingdezhen fine wine pot in her hand and poured a full cup of fine wine for Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.
"Miss Xiao Zhao, we all understand what you said, and we all know that the young master trusts us. But, the fine wine in your hand, the two of us are really not blessed to enjoy it!" Xu Da looked at the full cup of fragrant and pleasant wine in front of him, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said.
Although the fine wine is good, it is life-threatening!
Just now, the two of them took a sip and almost lost half their lives. If they drank a pot of wine, they would probably lie on the board.
"I have heard that the two generals are addicted to wine, and they have never drunk all the fine wines in the world. After hearing this, the young master praised the two generals, so he specially prepared this pot of fine wine for the two generals. ”
“This fine wine is made of thousand-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old Poria cocos, thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, thousand-year-old snow lotus, and various elixirs such as Peiyuan Dan, Xue Bodhi, and Da Huan Dan. It took a full three months to brew. ”
“The young master searched all over the world for elixirs, but only brewed 18 pots of this fine wine. This wine can not only strengthen the body, but also treat a variety of diseases, remove various hidden injuries in the body caused by long-term martial arts practice, and lay a solid foundation for future breakthroughs in the martial arts realm. How to say it, if this wine is taken out, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless. ”
“The two generals committed such a heinous crime, but the young master still did not forget to take out a pot and give it to the two generals to drink. From this, it can be seen how much trust the young master has in the two generals.” Xiao Zhao saw Xu Da and Chang Yuchun with bitter faces, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
This sweet date is indeed sweet enough, so sweet that Xu Da and Chang Yuchun both got cavities.
