C611 I Was Wrong
At the same time, he didn't understand why the leader would do this to him. It was not like he had never committed a crime before. However... The leader didn't punish him too much. Usually, he would just give a warning and everything would be fine. However, such a serious punishment like today... It had never happened before.
Thinking back to the way the leader had looked at him yesterday, Mr. Gou seemed to have understood something. However, it was obvious that he did not have time to think about it too carefully.
Mr. Gou kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. However, other than his voice, there was nothing else in the hall. None of the other generals came out to plead for Mr. Gou. Although Mr. Gou usually had a high status, however... His relationship with people was really not that good. There was no one who had a strong relationship with him.
Moreover, this fellow usually relied on the trust of his leader to offend many people. There were many people who disliked him. At this time, why would anyone come out to plead for him?
Moreover, the leader's attitude also needed to be considered. Usually, the leader would take good care of Mr. Gou. There had never been a heavy punishment, but today, it was because he was late. Many people seemed to have understood something when they attacked Mr. Gou with this "small matter." In Leader Qiu's heart, this Mr. Gou was no longer as important as before. Therefore, it was even more impossible for them to plead for a man who had lost his favor.
Leader Qiu seemed to be indifferent to Mr. Gou's plea. His facial expression didn't change at all. He already had a bad impression of Mr. Gou in his heart. He was looking for an opportunity to make a move on him. In the end, Mr. Gou delivered the opportunity to his doorstep. Leader Qiu even felt that if he didn't seize this opportunity... He felt a little sorry for Mr. Gou.
"What are you guys waiting for? Hurry up and drag this noisy guy down!" At this moment, someone finally stood out from the crowd. However, what made Mr. Gou despair was that this person did not come out to plead for him. It's a kick in the ass.
When Mr. Gou saw who the speaker was, he wasn't surprised by the man's behavior anymore. Because that person was also one of the people who usually competed with him for favour. However, Mr. Gou was even better and knew how to do things. Therefore, that person had always been suppressed by Mr. Gou, and now, that person had clearly seen an opportunity. Naturally, he wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
The guards outside the door walked in. One by one, they carried Mr. Gou out. Mr. Gou was so scared that his legs had gone soft. If no one supported him, he might not be able to walk on his own anymore.
"Leader, I was wrong. I was really wrong. Just go around me this time." Although Mr. Gou was being carried out, his begging voice still echoed in the hall.
"Everyone, now that the enemy is in front of us, I hope everyone can take it seriously. If anyone is lazy at this time, don't blame me for not thinking about our past friendship!" After Mr. Gou was completely dragged away, Leader Qiu said to everyone. Although he wasn't afraid of the Western Army outside, he could still establish his prestige by doing so. Obviously, he wouldn't let go of the chance to teach his subordinates a lesson.
"Yes, leader." In everyone's hearts, Ling Ran cupped his fists at the leader. As for their true thoughts, only they themselves knew.
"Alright, let's continue discussing the matter of defending the city this time." Leader Qiu was still very satisfied with the leaders' stance. This Mr. Gou had some use for him, allowing him to take the opportunity to establish his prestige. After he defeated the enemy outside the city, his prestige would be even higher. At that time, no one would dare to oppose him. They would even want to take advantage of his woman.
"Report!"
Just as Leader Qiu was about to continue speaking, a soldier ran in from outside. After entering, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Reporting to the leader, the army of the Imperial Court is ready to attack the city."
"So fast?" Leader Qiu said in surprise. Even the other generals were a little surprised.
Initially, they thought that the Western Army would wait for a few days outside the city. Wait! They would only attack the city after they had rested enough. After all, they were physically very tired. They had just arrived here yesterday. Furthermore, there was a shadow in their hearts after being defeated last time. No matter what, they had to take it slow.
However, they didn't expect General to be in such a hurry. He didn't want to wait for even a day. Today, he actually attacked.
"Maybe it is just a feint. He wants to disturb us." One of the generals said. The others nodded in agreement. This city's attack and defense was never something that could be decided in a short period of time. It would last for a long time. So... No one would be stupid enough to throw in all their forces right from the start. Attack with all their might.
Leader Qiu also heaved a sigh of relief and said to everyone, "Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter if they are feigning an attack or a real attack. We don't have to be afraid. We can defeat them once before. Now, we can defeat them a second time!"
The generals nodded.
Leader Qiu continued, "However, no matter if they really attack or feint, we can't let them relax. All of you can go down now, as we have agreed before. Each of you will be in charge of an area and defend that area. Beat that dog thief of the Imperial Court hard. Beat them up until they are in pain, beat them up until they are afraid! "
"Leader, don't worry. With us around, we can guarantee that the imperial court's army won't be able to enter!"
"That's right. Those imperial court's army can bully others, but they can only be beaten up in front of us!"
Everyone said, feeling very confident.
"Alright, then all of you can go down first and defend your own regions." Leader Qiu said.
After that, everyone received their orders and prepared to guard the city wall.
Leader Qiu didn't go to the city wall immediately. He didn't even have the intention to go there. Because, he wasn't worried that his subordinates wouldn't be able to defend the city. Therefore, there was no need for him to take the risk to the city wall. After all, although the enemy could not attack, arrows could be shot in. It would be bad if he was hit by the arrow.
Obviously, Leader Qiu did not want to be the vanguard anymore. He only wanted to protect his own life.
"I haven't seen a beauty for the whole night. I miss her." Leader Qiu muttered as he walked towards the backyard. Last night, he did not share a room with Ning Wushuang. This morning, in order to deal with Mr. Gou, therefore, he had not seen Ning Wushuang yet. Now that things had been arranged, he naturally had to go and meet the beauty.
