It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 558: The Death Penalty Committed by the Son

Several lieutenants around him also smelled the meaty aroma and looked around for the source of the smell. Finally, they found a pottery jar on a temporary stove made of firewood and branches at a doctor's place. There was actually no meat in it, but the freshest part of some bamboo leaves and a large piece of black stuff.

Wei Xing frowned and asked, "What are you cooking?"

"I'm just trying." The doctor was very young, and when he saw the generals paying attention to him, he couldn't help but get nervous. "I saw that the bamboo forest here is lush... Although wild grass can be eaten, the weather is cold and the wild grass here grows slowly, so I'm afraid it won't taste good. I've eaten some food made with bamboo leaves before, and although it's a bit rough, it can be eaten after cooking for a while, and I specially picked the tenderest part, which is still okay."

"What is this black thing?" Wei Xing took a branch and stirred it in the pottery jar. The black thing looked very familiar.

"That... is the cowhide from the quiver." The doctor hesitated a little.

"What?" Wei Xing's voice became much louder, and many people looked over.

"Beef skin is also meat skin... It can enhance the taste of bamboo leaf soup, and it is also good with those dry biscuits." The doctor was even more nervous, and his voice was trembling. However, his eyes were fixed on Liu Cheng of the Shaoying Group, and he even looked at him for help.

Liu Cheng was originally washing the bloodstained strips of cloth with Wang Po and others. When he saw Wei Xing going to talk to the doctor, Wang Po lowered her head and said a few words to the doctors around her. These people immediately washed the strips of cloth in their hands quickly, wrung them dry, left the stream and entered the bamboo forest.

Liu Cheng looked at Wei Xing, and then saw his father Liu Yao also turned around, so he limped over and whispered, "It was my idea. The piece of cowhide was taken from my quiver."

"Liu Cheng!" Liu Yao was anxious again. "Do you know that the quiver is used for marching and fighting? It is not to be taken lightly!"

"I know, I'll just give it a try." Liu Cheng was a little scared, but he still answered bravely: "Actually, it's quite delicious. I've already eaten it once last night."

"Nonsense!" Liu Yao became even angrier.

"How about you try it too?" Liu Cheng looked at him cautiously, leaned down, used a rag to pad his hands, picked up the earthenware pot, and found a bamboo cup to pour some, "Eat it while it's hot, it's quite fragrant."

"No!" Liu Yao's face was already dark. "You cooked the quiver, what will you use it for in the future?"

"That...that..." Liu Cheng pursed his lips and looked around at his subordinates. The children took out several dark green bamboo tubes from the pile of clothes placed by the stream after taking off their armor, and held them in front of Liu Yao.

Liu Cheng asked one of them to bring his green bamboo tube over, and then said: "Father, look at this, this is our quiver now!"

"What the hell!" Liu Yao roared, and none of the deputy generals dared to speak. The number of people who were washing by the stream suddenly decreased a lot.

"Don't be angry, this is really useful." Liu Cheng nervously pinched the bamboo tube, "Look, this bamboo is green-headed bamboo, light in texture, not heavy at all. After all, we are not as strong as them, and it is still very tiring to carry leather quivers. This bamboo quiver is very good, it is half the weight." "What do you know! Why is it a leather quiver? In addition to being used in combat, it can also be used for alarms! When the soldiers are resting, they put the leather quiver under their heads and can hear any movement three miles away. If there is an enemy coming, they will definitely be able to hear it and be prepared!" When Liu Yao said this, he actually saw that the children of the Shaoying Group had all replaced their tattered armor with bamboo quivers. He was so angry that he roared again: "Liu Cheng! Don't do whatever you want just because you are my son! Now, you have destroyed the weapons in the army, which is a capital crime!"

"Ah!" Not only Liu Cheng was frightened, but all the members of the Shaoying Group also knelt down. The deputy generals and guards who followed Liu Yao also knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Liu Cheng is young and doesn't know the risks." Deputy General He Chi's arm was still bandaged, and he was unstable when he knelt down and almost fell. Liu Cheng quickly used his body to support him and whispered, "Uncle He, be careful."

"Hey, you! Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself first. Why are you making such a fuss?" He Chi had a very good relationship with Liu Sheng. He also watched Liu Cheng grow up, so naturally he took care of him a lot.

"Don't beg for mercy!" Liu Yao understood He Chi's intentions, but things had already turned out like this, and he couldn't let Liu Cheng off for personal reasons, "First, give him fifty strokes of the cane!"

"Don't! Father, the previous injury hasn't healed yet!" Liu Cheng couldn't help but wail, "The bamboo quiver is really useful, and the leather is also delicious when boiled into soup!"

"Nonsense! This is really nonsense!" Liu Yao ignored him, looked around and asked, "Who else has replaced their quiver with bamboo?"

It didn't matter that he asked this question, and many soldiers retreated. At this time, Liu Yao noticed that many people had actually cut the leather quivers into small pieces, and were queuing up to wait for the doctor to free up the clay pots so that they could also make soup.

"Liu Cheng! Beat him with one hundred sticks!" Liu Yao's roar shook the entire bamboo forest.

His aura was very strong now. After his experience on the battlefield, some people even began to spread rumors that Liu Yao was the reincarnation of Shura, who killed people without blinking an eye. Moreover, he was not interested in women and was extremely ruthless. No one dared to mention his previous seclusion in the mountains or leaving the Han army.

Many soldiers silently put their leather quivers on their backs, but they also carried the bamboo quivers they had just made, which was a bit strange. The clay pots of the healers were still cooking on the fire, and the aroma became stronger.

"Fight!" Liu Yao yelled again. Wei Xing had no choice but to take a few people to drag Liu Cheng away. The young generals of the Shaoying Group were not happy, but they did not dare to say anything, so they had to follow them into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Liu Cheng's screams were really loud and miserable, and Liu Yao felt uncomfortable. He turned around and continued to look at the clay pots. He didn't know why, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Some people were washing things by the stream, and some were washing their faces and hair. It seemed like there was nothing wrong with it.

The afternoon sun was warm and the most comfortable time of the day. But what was wrong?

Liu Yao stared at the stream that was sparkling due to the reflection of the sunlight with his eyes wide open, and suddenly something occurred to him: I must have seen a pair of white women's hands just now.
