"You obviously look at me too relaxed, and your heart is unbalanced," Ren Xiaosu said with a dark face: "You are a dignified commander of the Northwest Army, how can you be so careful?"

Zhang Jinglin said as a matter of course: "This is not a careful eye, since it is a walking trip to hone the next commander, it is natural to make you feel how difficult it is here." Do you think, the sentinels here are not extraordinary, how hard they work every day, if you don't add weight to yourself, can you feel it deeply?"

Zhang Jinglin continued: "If you don't feel it deeply, how will you know how hard the sentinels here are in the future? I don't ask you to overload, just let you experience the life of ordinary people again." ”

"The commander is the commander, it's a set of reasons," Ren Xiaosu pouted: "Which stone do you say to carry?"

"How much weight can you carry now?" Zhang Jinglin asked.

"One hundred catties?" Ren Xiaosu asked tentatively.

"You tell me the truth!" Zhang Jinglin said angrily.

"I haven't tested this specifically," Ren Xiaosu said and went to the side of the road to find a stone the size of a winter melon and carried it on his shoulder: "Is this okay?"

"No, I don't think you're struggling at all!" Zhang Jinglin searched around for a long time, and found a half-human-high stone: "That's it." ”

Ren Xiaosu walked to the side of the stone, and it was not until Zhang Jinglin saw that he was struggling to carry the stone on his back, and then he was satisfied: "Okay, keep going!"

It's just that after walking for another two hours, Zhang Jinglin felt that his knees were almost unbearable, but when he turned his head to look at Ren Xiaosu, there was not even a drop of sweat on his head.

Now it is the season of early summer, the northwest is hot during the day and cold at night, Ren Xiaosu is carrying such a big stone when the sun is in the sky this afternoon, how can he not even sweat if he is really tired?

Zhang Jinglin said suspiciously: "Aren't you tired?"

Ren Xiaosu said with a painful face: "Tired, tired!"

"Really?" asked Zhang Jinglin.

"Of course it's true," Ren Xiaosu roared angrily: "You try to carry such a big stone, you will be tired if you carry it!"

Zhang Jinglin sighed: "Don't say anything else, the acting skills are really good......

"Where did I show my stuffing?" Ren Xiaosu wondered.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Jinglin directly pressing Ren Xiaosu's shoulder and jumping onto Ren Xiaosu's back.

So the scene became, Ren Xiaosu was carrying a stone, and Zhang Jinglin was sitting leisurely on the stone, Ren Xiaosu was unhappy: "You are a dignified commander of the Northwest Army, why do you still like to be lazy so much?"

"This is your journey, not mine," Zhang Jinglin said nonchalantly: "I'm okay, my last commander said that his old commander drove him when he took him to the outpost." ”

Ren Xiaosu complained: "How are you better than him? I wonder if you might as well drive directly!"

Zhang Jinglin glanced at his watch: "Okay, there is more than an hour left before the estimated arrival time, let's hurry!"

The two of them got back on the road, Zhang Jinglin sat on the stone and enjoyed the scenery, the hillside in the distance was undulating, the sheep were grazing with their heads down, and occasionally yaks could be seen passing by not far away.

Zhang Jinglin suddenly said: "I have never been so relaxed when I came to a place other than the fortress before, and I have never had time to enjoy the scenery here. It's just that I think that one day if the war breaks out again, there will be corpses all over the place, so I feel that the scenery here is ruined. ”

"Haven't you thought about counterattacking those wizards," Ren Xiaosu said curiously, "Wouldn't this be done once and for all?"

"I have thought about it," Zhang Jinglin said, "but the strength of the other party is too mysterious, which makes us jealous, and we can't gamble with the lives of the people behind us before we understand the strength of the enemy." ”

Ren Xiaosu nodded, just like the war between the Tinder and the Expeditionary Legion, without a thorough understanding of how many troops the barbarians had, rashly pursuing a counterattack would only lead to failure.

"I heard the big fool say that they sent people to infiltrate, didn't it go well?" Ren Xiaosu asked.

"It didn't go well," Zhang Jinglin shook his head and said.

"Is it because of the language barrier?, the skin color is different?" Ren Xiaosu said curiously.

"No," Zhang Jinglin said, "because they have plundered a large number of our compatriots in the past two hundred years, in fact, 80 percent of the people there are no different from us, and the language is the same." I guess when the first wizards plundered the population to develop themselves, they didn't expect this to be the result. Of course, we also need to be vigilant that this situation not only makes it easier for our people to blend into their society, but it also means that they can blend in with us. ”

"Then why can't it penetrate?" asked Ren Xiaosu.

"Because we can't make wizards," Zhang explained, "the wizarding organization is the power structure above everything else in that country, and the organization structure is so tight that as long as you are not a wizard, you can't really understand what they do." ”

"We don't know the exact number or hierarchy of these wizards, or where their power comes from or how they are balanced," Zhang continued. ”

"Didn't you find a clue about the source of their power, did they awaken like us?" asked Ren Xiaosu.

"No," Zhang Jinglin said firmly, "Their power has a whole system and inheritance, which is not the same as awakening by luck, and these wizards appeared before the cataclysm. In fact, they have no hatred for us, but when a civilization rises, it must have a certain exclusivity to other civilizations, and a society that is constantly progressing must have a great demand for resources. We believe that sooner or later there will be a battle between Fortress 178 and the other side, because the land they are located in is not very rich. ”

However, at this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly turned his head to look at the hillside in the distance, and Zhang Jinglin asked, "What's wrong?"

Ren Xiaosu looked at the two sheep on the hillside and said, "I always feel that those two sheep are watching us." ”

Zhang Jinglin smiled and pinched his shoulder: "It's just two sheep, let's move on, the soldiers at the outpost are still waiting for us." ”

"Well, maybe I've thought too much," Ren Xiaosu nodded: "After leaving the northwest, I always felt that the enemy might be nearby, so my nerves were a little tense." ”

When the figures of the two gradually disappeared into the horizon, the two sheep on the hillside, who were grazing with their heads down, turned around and ran, not knowing where to run.

When a shepherd dog saw them break away from the group, he tried to stop them, but the shepherd dog had just approached, but he retreated as if he had seen something very terrible.
