Fletcher's Descent into the Abyss Chapter 266

Tan Taihu stood with his sword in his hand, listened to the communication soldier's words, nodded, and turned to go into the military tent. There were several Dunzhou soldiers in the tent, all of whom were Tan Taihu's confidants, smoking a pipe inside.

"The Lord has issued an order," one of them asked, "Why is the general unhappy?"

"Stop smoking, it's so fuming!" Tan Taihu unloaded his knife and said, "The Lord asked me to move troops to Beiyuan Parade Ground."

Seeing that Tan Taihu looked unhappy, several soldiers did not dare to make a scene and immediately put out their pipes. The young man who had just spoken had dry yellow hair and was called Liu Kong. He was recruited from Fanzhou and was good at speaking, so he won Tan Taihu's favor and followed him.

Liu Kong lifted the curtain to let the smell out, walked to Tan Taihu's side, and said jokingly: "The Lord is willing to employ the general, but he doesn't take Wang Xian's words to heart and still believes in the general."
