Border Cook

Chapter 498 Broken Arm
Seventeen children?
An Leiting's pupils suddenly shrank.

Yes, when he first met An Yunji, there was indeed a group of children around An Yunji. The oldest was only about the same age as An Yunji, and the youngest was only about six or seven years old.

Those children, led by An Yunji, begged, scavenged and hunted. They were all very strong and wild, and could fight with adults who wanted to steal their food.

An Leiting saw with his own eyes that group of people beat to death a dozen strong adult men who intended to kidnap them and sell them to others as food.

It was precisely because these people were so powerful and brave that An Leiting had the idea of ​​adopting a few sons as his own, so he called An Yunji and his group to his side.

He lured them into participating in the test he had set, promising them that they could follow him and would have enough food and drink and no one would bully them.

This is a win-or-die test.

After all, those who cannot pass the test are useless and do not deserve to continue living. By the way, it also cuts off the thoughts of those who pass the test about other people, so that they can work for him wholeheartedly.

At that time, only An Yunji won. When An Yunji looked at the corpses of others, he felt a little sad, but he did not show too much sadness. He was even quite happy because he became An Leiting's adopted son.

An Leiting thought that An Yunji and these people were just casual acquaintances who occasionally got together to make a living and they didn't have much feelings for each other.

Unexpectedly, An Yunji has always remembered these people, and even at this time, he wants to avenge them.

An Leiting didn't understand and was very dissatisfied, "Even if I wasn't there, those people would have died sooner or later!"

Countless people died fleeing famine in troubled times. Young and middle-aged people could lose their lives at any time, let alone a group of children.

"At least while I'm alive, I won't let anyone lose their life." An Yunji answered with a firm tone, but also filled with sadness and melancholy because of thinking about the past.

When he first met An Leiting, he was also happy. Even during the test, all he thought about was that if he could succeed, he would be able to accommodate everyone.

But after he tried his best, all he saw were corpses and blood.

He was shocked, surprised, and even annoyed.

I was annoyed as to why he agreed to this. If he had refused and taken everyone away, no one would have suffered such a disaster.

What was even more frustrating was perhaps that his standing out from the crowd had caused others to get killed.

But soon, these emotions turned into anger.

No, that's not right. An Leiting already had such thoughts and plans. If they refused, they might be massacred.

And if he had not won, he would have died on the spot along with everyone else, and there would have been no further news.

All this was not his fault, but the fault of An Leiting, the instigator.

His enemy should not be himself, but An Leiting!

But at that time, he obviously did not have any ability to compete with An Leiting.

Therefore, he chose to remain silent, suppressed all his anger deep in his heart, acknowledged An Leiting as his adoptive father, obediently entered the military camp, worked for him, and gained his trust little by little, so that he would have the opportunity to bring him down in the future.

Later, many people seemed to have the same idea as him, especially Lu Qiyan and Xiao Luoan. He cooperated, secretly assisted, and fanned the flames. Finally, he saw the situation today and finally had the opportunity to kill his enemies.

An Yunji looked at An Leiting, whose face was gradually losing color, and raised the knife in his hand again.

Seeing this, Fan Honghui hurriedly shouted, "An Yunji, stop it!"

There was no intention of stopping the movement of his hand, and in front of Fan Honghui's eyes, he chopped An Leiting's shoulder. After a scream, blood spurted out, and An Leiting's right arm fell to the ground. The whole person also fell to the ground in pain, bent like a shrimp.

Even though they had experienced many battles and were in charge of the injured, they still sighed and widened their eyes in shock when they saw An Leiting's tragic condition.

An Yunji looked at Fan Honghui who was walking forward and said slowly, "Commander of the Return Wing, I am Xia Yunji."

The person you called just now was An Yunji, which has nothing to do with him.

Although Fan Honghui didn't know what happened between the two, he roughly guessed something from the few words he had just exchanged. He pursed his lips and looked at Xia Yunji, "Don't do it again."

Just now, Xia Yunji had the opportunity to end An Leiting's life directly, but he did not do it because he had already considered the overall situation and the fact that he needed to report to the emperor.

He couldn't ask for too much.

"Thank you, Commander." Xia Yunji bowed and placed the knife on the ground.

The mirror-like blade shines brightly under the rising sun, and even has an eerie feeling on such a summer day.

Especially the knife was right in front of An Leiting.

Having just suffered the pain of a broken arm, An Leiting was extremely terrified when he saw the knife again. He didn't care about the severe pain, curled up his body and struggled to retreat.

With blood all over his body and face, he looked like a pitiful creature.

But at this time, no one felt sorry for him, and even under Fan Honghui's order, An Leiting was dragged back to the military camp and imprisoned again.

As for An Leiting's shoulder that was bleeding profusely...

There was no military doctor with them at this time, and the hemostatic powder they carried was of no use, so they simply used a red-hot iron to burn the wound directly, using the principle that the flesh was burned into a ball to stop the bleeding.

The tragic howling almost resounded throughout the entire earth.

The first thing Fan Honghui did after returning to the military camp was to write a memorial.

An Leiting was charged with one more crime, and this crime was enough to punish the entire family and the nine generations of the clan.

However, if the nine clans were really to be punished, many people in the army would not be able to escape. In his memorial, Fan Honghui begged the emperor to send the Ministry of Justice to conduct a detailed investigation, to deal with each case separately and not to implicate innocent people.

As for the other generals in the army and Xia Yunji's situation, Fan Honghui also wrote them down one by one in the memorial, hoping to deal with the matter based on facts and get fair treatment.

After finishing this task, Fan Honghui instructed the others to continue doing what they should do according to the original plan.

As for Zhuo Dingsheng being seriously injured and unable to participate in the battle, Fan Honghui decided to go into battle himself to boost morale.

This was the first battle of the Western Frontier Army against the Jin Wei Kingdom after the eradication of the cancer An Leiting. Many people were excited and full of fighting spirit.

The same is true for Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji, and they are even better than ordinary people.

For them, this is the first battle where they don't have to think too much about the complexity of human nature. They just need to fight for their country and their king. All they need to do is to go all out!

With the war imminent, the news about An Leiting's affairs was only circulated within the army and was not released outside, in order to prevent the people on the border from panicking and causing unrest due to the change of the commander.

Phew, the matter of the An family has finally come to an end, and new characters will appear next~
