Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator
Chapter 168
Mo Chenggui didn't expect Chu Lian to rush over so quickly. However, he was determined to make an example out of her. He frowned but didn't plan on showing any mercy.
Other people might be afraid of Third Young Madam's power and status, but Mo Chenggui wasn't.
He was a veteran who had been through hundreds of battles. It was already a miracle that he was able to survive on the battlefield. His family was long gone. Later, he followed his uncle and joined Count Jing 'an's estate. He had long since disregarded death.
As long as he could wake up the young and ignorant Third Young Madam with the military law today, it wouldn't be a big deal even if he took his life.
The executioners stopped for a moment, but Mo Chenggui waved his hand. "Beat him. If I don't tell you to stop, no one is allowed to stop. Whoever disobeys will be punished with the same military law!"
They were all old brothers in the army, so everyone understood Mo Chenggui's temper. This old man had made up his mind this time.
Hearing this, Chu Lian was very straightforward. She gave Li Xing and Li Yue, who were behind her, a look.
Li Xing and Li Yue were sent by Princess Wei, so they naturally listened to Chu Lian.
The brother and sister quickly caught the two veterans who were about to be executed. Mo Chenggui's eyes widened as he watched from the side. Seeing that the two veterans were restrained by Li Xing and Li Yue, Mo Chenggui actually ran to the side and picked up the military stick on the ground to personally execute them.
Chu Lian's expression tensed up. She laughed coldly. "Uncle Mo, if you really hit them with this rod, I'm afraid the border army really won't be able to be saved!"
Mo Chenggui's expression turned sinister when he heard Chu Lian's words. He was a veteran and couldn't bear to hear people say bad things about the army camp. It was as if such words would become a curse and cause the border army to really lose.
He suddenly stopped what he was doing and hurriedly approached Chu Lian. "Third Young Madam, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't speak whatever you want!"
Chu Lian sneered. "I can't speak whatever I want?
Then Uncle Mo can hit people as he pleases? "
Mo Chenggui's expression darkened. "Third Young Madam, this wicked servant used food to exchange for useless wood. Why shouldn't he be hit?
Or is he an exception just because he's someone close to you? "
Seeing that Steward Qin was fine, Chu Lian gradually calmed down. She looked at Mo Chenggui with her limpid eyes.
There wasn't a trace of a smile on her porcelain face. "Fine, you say that he deserves to be beaten. Then I want to ask you, Uncle Mo, since you are so worried about the situation of the border army, have you thought of a good solution for the border army that can help the tens of thousands of soldiers escape from this difficult situation?"
Mo Chenggui didn't expect Chu Lian to ask such a question at this time.
What a joke. If he had a way, would he still be cooped up in this tiny He Residence?
He had already rushed to the barracks to advise the Third Young Master.
Not to mention him, even the highly respected officials of the imperial court couldn't think of a good idea. How could a crude person like him come up with a good idea?
Third Madam was clearly making things difficult for him on purpose.
The latest and fastest updates
The only good thing about this Third Madam was that she knew how to eat and defend the people around her.
Mo Chenggui felt even more disdain in his heart. He stood ramrod straight and even puffed out his chest and raised his head. "Third Madam, are you joking with me?
Solution?
I really must ask for Third Madam's forgiveness. I am a crude person, and I don't have such remarkable abilities. "
His words were filled with ridicule, making anyone who heard him want to jump out and curse him. Behind Chu Lian, Wenqing and Wenlan were the first to lose their composure. They glared at Mo Chenggui. If it weren't for Chu Lian holding them back, the two girls might have already started fighting with Mo Chenggui.
Mo Chenggui coldly sneered. "The people around Third Madam are all of one mind?
What, are they all bought over by eating and drinking? "
Chu Lian really couldn't understand this family general's train of thought. He couldn't think of any good ideas himself, so he concluded that everyone else was just as mediocre as him. Was he too confident in himself, or did he think too highly of himself?
If the army was filled with idiots like him, then the Great Wu Dynasty wouldn't need to fight at all. They would just throw away their weapons and surrender!
Although Chu Lian usually looked soft, gentle, and easy to bully, if anyone really thought that way, then they would lose.
This girl wouldn't have overnight grudges, because if anyone dared to bully her, she would take revenge on the spot.
Mo Chenggui had already crossed her bottom line, so how could Chu Lian tolerate it?
Behind her, Wenqing and Wenlan saw that their Third Madam's face was solemn, but her eyes were sparkling as she stared at them. The corners of her dark red lips were slightly curled up, making her look even more beautiful than usual. The two of them couldn't help but shiver.
It's over, it's all over. Third Madam is really angry this time.
Wenqing and Wenlan looked at each other, their eyes twitching.
They were really brainless just now, thinking that Third Madam would be bullied.
It was already good enough that Third Madam didn't bully others.
"Mo Chenggui!
I really don't know how Grandfather saw you in the first place!
He would make you a family general in Duke Jing 'an's residence!
You're so arrogant, why don't you ascend to the heavens? "
She didn't even call him "Uncle Mo" anymore and directly called him by his name.
Chu Lian had been holding in her anger for a long time, but when she let it out, she felt much better.
However, Mo Chenggui and everyone else in the courtyard froze. They all stared at Chu Lian in disbelief. Everyone gulped at the same time, their hearts trembling as they thought, 'Third … Third Madam is scolding Commander Mo?
Third Madam doesn't look that old, but she's too daring! '
Even the wife of the heir wouldn't dare to scold Commander Mo so directly …
They didn't know why, but even though they understood that Third Madam's actions were too direct and too bold, they still felt an inexplicable sense of excitement and excitement!
Everyone silently watched from the side, hiding the small thoughts of watching a good show in their hearts.
Mo Chenggui was obviously also shocked by Chu Lian's words. His eyes suddenly widened. Although he had never heard anyone scolding someone with the word "ascend to the heavens," the tone of her voice told him that it wasn't a good word.
Mo Chenggui was, after all, a crude person. He was good at fighting with his hands and feet, not with words.
Without waiting for him to scold back, Chu Lian continued, "Mo Chenggui, let me tell you, the things that you think are impossible even if the sky falls down can be done by me, Chu Lian!
Don't use your narrow-minded eyes to look at others. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it.
Let me tell you something else. In your eyes, these useless cedar trees are the life-saving straws for the fifty thousand soldiers of the border army! "
After saying this, Chu Lian turned around and left. Tang Yan, who had been standing outside the courtyard, had heard what she said. She believed that he wouldn't need to do anything in this situation.
Actually, Mo Chenggui wasn't as unbearable as Chu Lian made him out to be. This old fellow was just too stubborn and didn't know how to be flexible. She believed that these words would wake him up and prevent him from becoming a hindrance to the northern border.
Chu Lian was like a gust of wind. She came and went quickly.
However, this gust of wind wasn't a gentle breeze. It was a fierce hurricane that flipped over the people in the courtyard.
Mo Chenggui was stunned. His entire body seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't move at all.
