The Jiaozhi Plain is actually not vast, the east and west are only a hundred miles of territory, surrounded by the city of Jiaozhi and the southern barbarian county Qiuling, in which the loess grows shallow grass, or the sandy land is barren and has no plants, if you overlook the entire Jiaozhi Plain, people prefer to believe that this is a basin.

There are high and low in the southeast and northwest, and the loess domain is divided into longitude and latitude. It is not difficult to find a center in the Cochin Plain, but it is difficult to find such a balance point if you want to use a piece of paper to restrain the contradiction between the two major forces.

Liang Jin of Wohua Mountain, and the Qin Dynasty Pang Lu led the army, this war was originally caused by the two sides, Li Zhengxing said on behalf of Pang Lu's will, but even ordinary soldiers know that this war will not stop because of an agreement between the two sides, because this is originally a war of the Qin Dynasty, the start and end will be decided by Wohua Mountain and the Qin Dynasty, and Liang Jin and Pang Lu just represent an army.

After Sun Huan and Li Zhengxing left, the city fell silent again, and Liangjin and Luohu on the city wall stood for a long time, and their opinions on this matter were similar, and they often did not need to explain too much to know. The agreement to meet has been promised, but I don't know what will happen, if Pang Lu is just an ordinary person, they will undoubtedly suffer a big loss.

At the residence of the four commanders, Luo Hu sat naked and endured pain, and Die stood aside with a medicine jar to rub medicine on Luo Hu's body, and suddenly a soldier said outside the door: "Commander, the nine commanders have returned to the city." ”

Luo Hu hurriedly stood up and asked, "Where is he now?"

The soldier said: "I just went to the city wall, and when I saw the second commander, I should have reported the situation of Sihai City, and I will return to my residence to rest at this time." ”

"Okay, go and bring the thorns, I'll go find Jiang Ming to apologize!"

Luo Hu's figure is extremely strong, compared to Liang Jin, his White Tiger Tooth Knife is a hegemonic weapon, must have enough strength to carry it, if it is brute force, Luo Hu is afraid that he can't compare to him among the several commanders of Wohua Mountain.

Butterfly stopped Luo Hu's arm, his face was sad, and said, "Brother Luo Hu, but your injury hasn't healed yet......

Luo Hu smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, my body can still withstand this kind of strength, it's just a few wattles, and it's not a big deal." After saying that, he put the dozen wattles handed by the soldiers on his back, and the barbs on the thorns immediately stabbed many wounds on his back, but Luo Hu didn't say a word.

Butterfly grabbed Luo Hu again and said, "Brother Luo Hu, I don't know how you offended Jiang Minggongzi, but Jiang Minggongzi is a kind person, and he will definitely not seek blame for you, I mean, you don't have to do it......"

"Lenient?" Luo Hu was a little surprised when he heard this word, although Die had only been with Jiang Ming for a few days, but he had this opinion, Jiang Ming was indeed very kind to himself, just like Chu Hong treated people kindly, he treated people politely, Jiang Ming treated those people he thought he thought were indeed kind enough, and even as long as he helped him, he could repay him tenfold. Since he joined Wohua Mountain, he has helped them with many things, and they themselves have more experiences than they can count.

However, he was not a good man. Because of his anger, he was able to directly kill a veteran of Xia Dye City, and because of the grudge with Hu Yanwu, he did not hesitate to stir up the entire Wohua Mountain to retaliate, even if he didn't say these things, there were still a lot of eyeliners and evidence to prove. The stains on his life are no different, but his character cannot be compared with Lin Han and others.

Luo Hu said: "In the Jiaozhi Mountains, I once said to Jiang Ming that if he chooses not to listen to me, I will choose to break off with him, but he is contrary to me, but he is right. Perhaps from that time on, he had put me out of his circle, and I had to atone for this mistake. ”

"But, but ......" Die still wanted to say something, but Luo Hu had already strode out of the residence and walked towards Jiang Ming's residence.

Butterfly hesitated for a moment, smiled bitterly, and followed.

He had his choice, but she would just follow.

These places for commanders and soldiers to rest were in the east and west of the city wall, and in order to better manage their subordinates, six commanders were placed on both sides, Liangjin, Luohu, Chu Hong, and Huanziyu were in the west, and Jiang Ming, Lin Han, Meng Lang, and Yu Buwei were in the east. Although this row is the same house, the commander's residence is inhabited by one person, from the west to the east, with a gap of more than a mile.

The soldiers patrolling and monitoring the city wall and around the wall saw such a scene, the four commanders of Wohua Mountain walked slowly on the road with their bare upper bodies and thorns on their backs, his strong tiger back had countless scars, and now many wounds were pierced by the thorns, and blood was still slowly dripping, and the red color in the sun was particularly eye-catching.

Luo Hu's injury has not yet healed, and it can even be said that he has only regained some mobility. The poisonous dragon son shot extremely hard, and injured him and Meng Lang completely, it has only been more than ten days, and it is already very good that Luo Hu can recover to this state, of course, everyone cannot compare with Jiang Ming's self-healing ability.

He walked very slowly, a distance that would normally take only a few minutes to walk, but now he had to do it in three or four times as long. He walked very tired, although he was only carrying a dozen wattles, but for him now, he was undoubtedly carrying hundreds of pounds of stones, and it was very difficult to move his feet, and he could be down-to-earth with every step.

Because he was worried about Luo Hu's current physical condition, Butterfly kept following him, but Luo Hu refused her to help him, and still walked forward with his own strength. Even though he was followed by a few lieutenants who were better on weekdays, and even Feng Qing and the two newly promoted lieutenants, he was still not moved in the slightest.

Feng Qing frowned, and said, "Commander, rest for a while before leaving, your current physical condition may not be bearable!"

Luo Hutou didn't turn around, and said, "Don't get in my way." ”

"Commander!" Feng Qing regarded Luohu as his real commander, so he naturally didn't want him to torture himself like this, so he knelt on the road and said, "Commander, rest for a while! Take a break, it will not hinder the sincerity of the guilty plea, and besides, the Nine Commanders are not unreasonable people, and the mistakes of the Commander are ......."

"Don't talk about Feng Qing. Luo Hu pushed him away, and said: "You don't have to do this kind of thing, I ask for guilt because I am indeed guilty, and I almost killed Jiang Ming and Hanzi, this is my fault, I am an eight-foot man in Luohu, and I must be upright to admit my mistakes." Get up quickly, now you are not in the barracks, you don't have to keep this kind of false etiquette, if a man is not a king, he can only kneel to his parents. ”

Feng Qing slowly stood up and said, "Commander, but your body ...... Alas, the Commander, please allow me to follow. ”

With a wave of his hand, the soldier handed him a bundle of thorns, and he chose to share the hardships with the commander. The other two newly promoted lieutenants and several lieutenants were also about to ask for Jing Tiao, but they were stopped by Luo Hu waving his hand.

"Do you want to disobey my commands?"

The generals were silent, but they still planned to carry the wattle on their backs.

Luo Hu angrily reprimanded: "What do you want to do? This is my mistake, I naturally want to ask Jiang Ming to plead guilty, but what does it have to do with you? If you do this, what is the point of me pleading guilty? Do you want others to laugh at me Luo Hu doesn't even have the courage to plead guilty?"

Feng Qing and the other generals all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Luo Hu sighed and said, "Since you are determined to do this, just follow me, and you don't have to carry the thorn stripe." It was a crime in that war that you did not advise me in time. Of course, the generals who did not participate in that war should leave quickly!"

In this case, Luo Hu, who was carrying a thorn on his back, walked slowly to the east, with the butterfly beside him, and a group of generals followed behind, even the soldiers who patrolled and guarded had to look over and take a look twice, but Luo Hu, who was naked, did not have the slightest sense of shame, since he chose to plead guilty in this way, he naturally had to endure the eyes of others.

Jiang Ming and Lin Han talked casually in the east residence, and were about to go to take a nap to rest, but they saw Fan Qiong and Wu Da running over from the other side, shouting: "The commander is not good, the four commanders are here to take the blame." ”

Jiang Ming and Lin Han walked towards the road, but they saw Luohu, who was sweating profusely, walking slowly, and the dozen or so wattles pierced out red blood, which immediately attracted the attention of the two.

When Luo Hu saw Jiang Ming, he took a few steps forward, instantly knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Jiang Ming, I, Luohu, was in the war in the Jiaozhi Mountains, and I didn't believe your words, which caused my army to not support in time, and you and Hanzi were almost killed in the mouth of the dead tiger, which is a crime that I can't hide." The day before yesterday, I was seriously injured and couldn't move, but today I came here with a burden and personally asked you for my guilt, hoping that you would forgive!"

Luo Hu bowed his head, although it was not a kowtow, but this salute was too heavy, even in the face of the mountain lord Zong Kun, he could only kneel on one knee at most. There is no doubt that it is not easy for such an arrogant person to do this.

Jiang Ming and Lin Han were stunned in place, and the onlookers also dropped their jaws in shock.

Lin Han asked secretly, "Why are there any such things?" ”

Jiang Ming swallowed and said, "I didn't take that matter to heart, so naturally I don't have to exaggerate it so much." But now it seems that Luohu is indeed a man who stands up to the sky!"

Jiang Ming hurriedly walked over, helped Luo Hu up, and said slightly angrily: "You don't recognize me as your brother, I will naturally stick to you and admit it, why bother to practice yourself? I have long forgotten the events of that day, you don't have to be so obsessed, get up quickly!" 2020

Luo Hu didn't get up immediately, arched his hand to the sky, and said solemnly: "I, Luo Hu, I hereby ask for guilt, if you have any punishment, just say it, cane punishment and whipping are fine, as long as you can ignore the previous suspicions." ”

Jiang Ming's face was bitter, and he turned to look at Lin Han for help, but Lin Han just waved his hand, and Jiang Ming had to say: "I don't need you to plead like this, if you treat me as a brother, stand up." This kind of etiquette should be reserved for this heaven and earth, after all, how can an eight-foot man bend down and kneel for an ordinary person?"

Luo Hu's face was slightly stunned, and he immediately stood up, but the butterfly on the side said with a bitter face: "Brother Luohu, I said that Jiang Ming Gongzi has always been lenient, how can he offend you for one thing?"

Jiang Ming nodded and said, "Miss Butterfly is right, I'm not so narrow-minded, I used to treat Lin Han with courtesy because you were Lin Han's brother, but now just because you are my brother, I will give you righteousness." I don't know if you feel more at ease when you say that?"

Luo Hu looked guilty on his face and said: "However, because of my fault, I almost let you die in the mouth of the mourning tiger, but this kind of mistake cannot be explained in a word." ”

Jiang Ming smiled: "What do you want? Do you want to give us your life? Aren't we all fine, what is there to feel guilty about, Lin Han won't blame you, and I won't either, and after we broke out of the fire, you still rescued us." If it weren't for you, I would have lost my combat power at that time, and I wouldn't have been slaughtered by others? Speaking of which, you have repaid it, right?"

"But ......" Luohu still couldn't let go.

Lin Han walked over and teased: "Luohu, this is the first time I've seen you so entangled, it's not easy." ”

Jiang Ming smiled bitterly, and whispered, "I'm still not suitable for dismantling", then looked at Luohu and said, "Can you drink?"

Luo Hu said: "Yes!"

Butterfly said at the same time: "Brother Luohu, your injury ......"

Luo Hu said: "It's nothing, don't worry. ”

"Okay! Come, bring the wine under the bed in my dwelling. Jiang Ming said to Fan Qiong and Wuda behind him, then looked at Butterfly with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Miss Butterfly, it's nothing to drink less, his body is still quite strong." ”

The three jars of sake were placed in front of Jiang Ming's eyes, and its appearance was no different from the turbid wine outside, but this was the fine wine that Jiang Ming specially asked for from Yangtafeng, of course, it cost a lot of money, but it was nothing to Jiang Ming. He was still as drunk as he had ever been, but he didn't dare to get drunk, and it had become a habit for him to hide a few jars of good wine.

Looking at these three jars of wine, Lin Han said: "Okay, I went a few times but only smelled the wine, but I didn't find the wine, it turned out that you hid it, just to hide from me?"

Jiang Ming couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he smiled, and said, "Isn't this prepared? Have you ever heard of the three caves of the cunning rabbit? This face is resentful, as if I have given you less to drink on weekdays, I really don't know what to do." ”

Luo Hu looked at the scene in front of him, he was a little envious, he and Lin Han have been wandering together for many years, but they have never seen Lin Han behave so casually, only that kind of absolute trust can be like this, right? He thought, in that critical moment, maybe only such a person can understand Lin Han's thoughts. He was rightly wrong, and this petition became right.

"Luohu next!" Jiang Ming threw over a jar of wine, handed another jar of wine to Lin Han, and then raised the last jar of wine with one hand, looked at the soldiers who were immersed in the aroma of wine, and said: "I won't give it to you this time, next time if there is someone who wants to drink my wine, no matter what status, you can ask me." ”

All the soldiers naturally knew that Jiang Ming was humble, how dare they really go and ask for it, so they all swallowed their saliva and retreated.

Jiang Ming said loudly: "Luohu, I have never been good at words, if it is reasonable, I can still debate a few words, but it is difficult for me to have this kind of talent." Therefore, today I will not say more to you, how much discord is scattered in the wind, where there is wine, there are rivers and lakes, our brothers can naturally drink, and try the world!"

Lin Han said: "What you said is impassioned, are you sincere?"

Jiang Ming said: "Of course it's sincere, it's rare to be sincere!"

"Okay!" Luo Hu raised the wine jar, ignoring the pain in his arm, and said: "If there is wine, there will be rivers and lakes, come on, do it!"

Jiang Ming and Lin Han raised the wine jar in unison, stood with Luohu in three directions, and looked up to the sky to swallow and drink.

On the city wall in the distance, Liang Jin, Meng Lang, and Chu Hong looked at this scene, all showing complicated expressions.

Chu Hong said: "Hey, you two, do you have the urge to go down and have a drink with them?"

Meng Lang said: "I must want to, envy." Moreover, I can smell the wine from afar. ”

Liang Jin snorted lightly and said, "I want to go, but I can't go, the matter between Luo Hu and Jiang Ming has come to an end, but there are still many things to do, what if I get drunk?"

Meng Lang said: "Lao Jin, you are a little too obsessed with handling military affairs, and you don't even have the urge to drink. ”

Liang Jin said: "Impulsiveness is natural, but people always have to be steady, isn't it? I am so frivolous to you, and I have to play drunk crazy when I am drunk, it is really unbearable to look back!"

Meng Lang snorted and said, "Is it necessary to lift the old bottom?"

Chu Hong said with a smile: "Then wait for the next time you have a drink and dinner, will you be like this." ”

Jiang Ming and the three of them naturally couldn't hear the conversation on the city wall, but this wine was drunk arrogantly, and it was also a good conversation to use wine to settle grievances.

Since then, Jiang Ming's relationship with several people should be more harmonious, but why is Jiang Ming unhappy?

After Luo Hu and Lin Han left, he returned to his residence, closed the door, and lay on the couch with an indifferent face.

Jiang Ming's eyes widened, as if he was thinking about something.

He abruptly stood up, pulled out the wine from under the bed, and poured it into his mouth again.

A jar of Wu wine can be drunk for 20 years.

Liang Jin put all kinds of news together, and after reading them all, he felt that there were a lot of doubts.

"Pang Lu must have acted with a certain purpose, he invited me to meet in the Jiaozhi Plain the day after tomorrow, I thought he would raise troops to attack Jiaozhi City, but his army did not move at all, and there were only small groups of troops moving in the Sifang City. The news of the vulture must be right, so what is Pang Lu trying to do?"

Liang Jin flipped through these documents again, but still didn't see anything strange, so he set his eyes on the texts summarized by Lin Han and Jiang Ming, neither of them were good at writing this kind of texts, and he found out the key to them after reading them for a long time.

Liang Jin said: "It seems that the situation in Sihai City has improved, and it will not be long before it will return to its former prosperity, but the problem of this epidemic still needs to be eradicated." After recruiting troops for a while, that plan can be implemented, and in the future, Jiaozhi City and Sihai City will be reconciled, and they will definitely be able to make up for each other. When the time comes, Pang Lu will raise troops again, and we will have a certain amount of confidence. ”

Liang Jin muttered to himself a few times, and was about to rest, but he heard the secret signal of the vulture outside the house, Liang Jin snorted lightly, and the spies outside said: "Commander, we have investigated the situation in the northern mountains and forests, and the reason for the spread of the epidemic has been clarified. ”
