Pig Killer

Chapter 342

"Why do we need to chop firewood ourselves? We can buy it!" General Yu said lightly, "Aren't there people carrying firewood into the city?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zeng lowered his head and just looked at him quietly.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Young General Yu asked him, tilting his head.

"My dear young master, they have to have money too!" Mr. Zeng sighed and looked at him and said, "Most of our soldiers follow you because they can't even afford to eat. This family has even less money. How can the elderly, the weak, women and children have money to buy firewood? Even if they have money, it's not enough to buy food!"

"Oh! Mr. Zeng, just tell me what you want to say. I will do as you say." Major General Yu said impatiently.

"Young General will rule the country in the future. He must understand the people's sentiments and cannot be lazy and ignorant." Mr. Zeng looked at him tenderly with his phoenix eyes.

"I'm very hardworking. Who can beat me?" General Yu waved his fist and said, "I also share the grain."

"You kid." Mr. Zeng looked at him softly and said, "I'll praise you, okay!" The smile on his face disappeared suddenly, and he said, "A righteous man has many supporters. We seem to have forgotten that food can only be cooked with fire. It's not enough to just grow food, we also have to plant trees! We can't do without firewood."

"Then let's plant it!" Young General Yu responded readily.

"Let the brothers plant, and you take the lead." Mr. Zeng said to him with a gleam in his eyes.

"I want to plant trees too?" General Yu said, pulling the reins and looking at him. "You won't just let me plant trees, will you?"

"Now that the general is gone, the king will definitely use this as an excuse to suppress you." Mr. Zeng looked at him with his deep and unfathomable phoenix eyes and said, "You should plant trees in a big way to win the support of the people and win their hearts."

"Is this what Mr. Huang and the others are like?" Young General Yu said with a gleam of light in his dark eyes.

"You can say that." Mr. Zeng looked at him with his dark phoenix eyes and said, "I hope that the king is as powerful as possible now, so that the young general will be more lovable."

General Yu's face was filled with black lines as he asked, "What kind of word is this?"

Mr. Zeng looked at him with a gleam in his eyes and said, "I hadn't thought about how to deal with the suppression from the king before, but now I have thought about it. The more he suppresses you, the greater the opposition from the people."

"Will this work?" General Yu looked at him suspiciously and said, "What does my fight with the king have to do with the common people?"

"The people's will!" Mr. Zeng looked at him unhappily and said, what a silly boy.

"As long as the morale of the army is stable, everything will be stable." Young General Yu snorted.

"The government army is now in a stable morale state, right? They can fight, right? But the Second Emperor has lost the support of the people, and the country is almost gone." Mr. Zeng looked at him with his phoenix eyes and said, "If it weren't for the Second Emperor's own evil deeds, would we have had a chance to revolt?"

"Uh..." Young General Yu was speechless.

"You have made it your mission to overthrow the imperial court since you were young, but you have failed in so many attempts. Why?" Mr. Zeng looked at him with deep eyes and said, "Without momentum, it is unlikely to succeed. Take advantage of the momentum and act accordingly."

"What do you want me to do? I'll do it." General Yu said straightforwardly, "As long as I can strike a blow to the king and make him unhappy."

"You just have to do nothing but watch our great king commit suicide." Mr. Zeng said with a cold look in his eyes, "Be good at your filial duties."

"This is what I should do." General Yu said with tears in his eyes, "If my father were still alive, he would never let anyone bully me like this."

"Oh..." Mr. Zeng looked at him with heartache and held the reins tightly. No words of comfort were of any use, and he could only walk out by himself.

"I don't understand what this king is fighting for! This baby can still grow up, but he is already half turned into earth, who is he fighting for?" Young General Yu said puzzled.

"I heard that the concubine in his harem is pregnant." Mr. Zeng looked at him with his dark and bottomless eyes.

"What?" This news almost shocked General Yu.

"Be careful!" Mr. Zeng exclaimed, his heart almost jumping out of his chest.

"I grew up on horseback, so it's okay even if I fall off." General Yu quickly comforted him, who was pale, and said, "By the way, how did you know his concubine was pregnant?"

"Of course our people are stationed there." Mr. Zeng said lightly when he heard this.

"I know this. Why was it not there earlier, but not later, but now it appears?" Young General Yu said with a puzzled look on his face.

"He has wanted to have one for a long time, but he just didn't dare to have one." Mr. Zeng said with cold eyes, "He has grown stronger and more active in the past two years."

"No wonder." General Yu nodded in understanding, "Now that their father is gone, they are even more unscrupulous." He snorted coldly, "But even if the baby is born, it is still unknown whether it will be a boy or a girl. It may not be born, and it may not grow up after being born. There are too many variables involved."

"The underworld in the back house, do we need to take action?" Young General Yu looked at him and asked.

"No need. He scares himself." Mr. Zeng looked at him with his dark eyes and said, "If he is born, there will be hope. It will be better if he perishes later."

"It's good to let him live in fear." Major General Yu snorted coldly and said with relief.

"In today's world, we don't know what will happen tomorrow. Why bother with a baby who is not even formed yet?" Mr. Zeng looked at him with his deep phoenix eyes and said, "You are such a fool. You are really flattered by a few civil servants. You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is." He looked at him gently and said, "Let's go!"

"Going back?" Young General Yu looked at him and said.

"Now that you're out, take a walk and come back." Mr. Zeng said slowly.

Yu Luo and his guards caught up with them, following the Major General and Mr. Zeng not too close.

Mr. Zeng said as he walked, "Since the general asked you to become sworn brothers with Mr. Huang, you should do so after the general is buried! It is better to have one more friend at this time than to push him to the king's side. What's more, he is our lifesaver."

"Okay!" Young General Yu nodded in response.

"Don't hold a grudge against them!" Mr. Zeng advised, "They are both kind people. They have never received any favor from us. Compared to those who have received favor from your father, they are really great."

"I know. I just got even angrier at myself. I should have gone with father earlier." Major General Yu said with a look of grief and indignation.

"The government army's strategy of luring the enemy will have the same outcome no matter who goes." Mr. Zeng looked at him helplessly and said.

"The king will really win over the Huang couple." Major General Yu looked at him with disbelief.

"It's possible!" Mr. Zeng said after a moment's hesitation, "The Huang couple are unfamiliar with the place, and the title of the king is still very famous. They come from a small place and have little experience. If they are promised high positions and generous salaries, they will be won over."
