Chapter 254 Starry Sky, Snowy Night, and Small Talk
The burning flame made a crackling sound, Bai Zili didn't know where to find dry firewood and raised the flame with the fire oil he carried with him, and Zhang Yang and the others also got busy.
It's getting late, on this cold iceberg, there is always a warm firelight that makes people more comfortable, besides, Bai Zili also brought some food when he went out, the iceberg is not compared to other places, the consumption of the body is relatively large, whether it is physical strength or true yuan will be consumed quickly, appropriate replenishment is very necessary.
There were no fresh ingredients, but Bai Zili skillfully erected a simple wooden frame, took out an iron cylinder, put in the snow, put a few bones and some dried meat into it, and put in some granular food.
Soon, the aroma came out, and in the midst of the snow and ice, such a scene suddenly whetted people's appetites.
Waiting for the food in the iron cylinder to plop open, Bai Zili took out a stack of utensils, and said with a smile: "I know that several of them are martial cultivators, and it doesn't matter if there is a meal or not, but this iceberg is not as fast as other places, and the consumption is very fast, these bones and dried meat I cooked are all from the third-level spirit beasts, I suggest everyone eat some, and then rest early." โ
Bai Zili glanced at Gu Lin, who was sitting cross-legged, like an old monk, and then said: "I don't know what the situation is when I arrive in Beichuan Gu Clan tomorrow, we have a good spirit, we are lucky to enter the mountain this time, the road is smooth, and we have not encountered a powerful spirit beast with strength, but this kind of thing is not easy to say, if we encounter such a beast, we still have to raise enough spirit to deal with it." โ
"Yes, yes. Under the gap of the boulder that sheltered the cold wind, there was a warm bonfire and food, Zhang Yang also completely relaxed, he and Sun Laoer and Qian Laosan respectively found some firewood, sat around in front of the bonfire, and watched Bai Zili pour the food into several utensils while adding firewood.
Pouting in the direction of Gu Lin, Bai Zili said softly: "General Zhu seems to be cultivating, do you want to wake him up and eat together?"
Zhang Yang looked at Gu Lin, who had become like a sculpture, shook his head and said: "Looking at this, it seems that the general has entered a certain cultivation artistic conception, let's not bother for the time being, keep it for him, and wait for him to wake up." โ
"Good. Bai Zili put the most portion by the bonfire and warmed it, and said with a smile: "Everyone is tired, come, let's eat first." โ
In this icy and snowy place, a few people did not have anything polite to say, they carried a piece of food, sat down around the fire and ate it.
Soon, several people chatted quietly.
"I heard that the commander of your coalition army is the second young man of the Gu family of the Great Marshal's Mansion, Gu Lin? But I also heard that the second young man of the Gu family is a waste, and he is still doing evil. I originally thought that the Black Army was probably a ragtag army that had been formed temporarily, and its combat strength and discipline should be very poor, but seeing you Black Lin Iron Cavalry fighting with my own eyes was a five-body throw to the ground that I admired! I am very curious, how can a temporary army formed by the abolition of the Great Marshal's Mansion be so powerful? And is this second young man of the ancient family really so unbearable as it is rumored?"
Bai Zili, as the captain of the Xiakou Scout Team, was naturally well-informed, and he was really impressed by the Black Lin Iron Cavalry, and he also regarded several people around him as friends, so he said openly.
Zhang Yang and Sun Lao Er Qian Lao San glanced at each other, the three of them couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, Zhang Yang looked at Gu Lin, and said helplessly: " Brother Bai, some things can't just look at the surface, there are embroidered pillows in this world, but there are also hidden jade stubborn stones, and some words will inevitably be a little biased, Young Marshal Lin saved my son's life, I also call him the young master, what kind of person is he, I know very well in my heart, anyway, it is not the waste that is rumored outside, this black army was formed by me with him from beginning to end, what he did, I know better than anyone else, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a young hero who spilled blood for Jiuxia, and I am also willing to be his lackeyใ โ
Bai Zili frowned, looked up at Zhang Yang, but saw Zhang Yang also looking at him with burning eyes, he couldn't help but speak: "Brother Zhang has such a high opinion of the second young man of the Gu family, young hero, but ......" Thinking of those rumors about Gu Lin, Bai Zili couldn't help but be a little suspicious of what Zhang Yang said.
However, at this time, Qian Laosan, who rarely spoke, looked at Gu Lin, who was still cultivating with his eyes closed, and said: "What Steward Zhang said is right, before I became the Black Army, I was the same as Brother Bai, and I always thought that Young Marshal Lin was a hopeless person, but after entering the Black Army, as I got to know the young marshal more and more, I realized that I was so wrong before, and the young marshal not only deserves the title of this young hero, but if I want to say, this evaluation is still a little lower......
Hearing this, Bai Zili was taken aback, seeing Qian Laosan's admiration and firm tone, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and asked: "But, why do you say that you Lin Shao bullies people, robs people's daughters, does evil, and does all kinds of evil?"
At this time, Sun Laoer's eyes were slightly small, and his voice raised slightly, "How can the world's gossip be believed? Brother Bai, I, Sun Zhan and Qian Feng, are both rough people from the rivers and lakes, and they used to be the leaders of the Sword Society, so they may not be nice to speak, but I want to ask Brother Bai, if Young Marshal Lin is really a waste, then why did Emperor Xia appoint him as the commander of the reinforcements? Why is the horse gang leader of the First Shang Gang of the Nine Xia Kingdom and our eldest brother, the heroic Dong Lao, willing to be driven by him? Why did even Master Huiguang of the Hongfa Temple in the summer capital join the coalition army? Could it be because of his status as the second son of the Great Marshal Mansion? Brother Bai thought about it carefully, the champion Hou Guqi was the eldest young master of the Gu family, why didn't everyone serve him allegially?
Bai Zili held the food in his hand, but he was suddenly stunned, "Could it be that this Gu Lin is really a young hero?"
Zhang Yang shook his hand, although he also knew that what they said might not necessarily make Bai Zili believe it, and Gu Lin had always emphasized that he couldn't tell his secret to others, but every time he heard someone criticize his young master behind his back, he couldn't help but refute and maintain, and this habit seemed to have been transmitted to others, whether it was the newly met Boss Dong, The Ma gang leader is still those old men of Lin Xiangyu, and even includes the two second and third masters of the sword club in front of him, which may be a silent power generated by admiration from the heart.
"Alas....... Looking at Gu Lin, who was still quietly cultivating in the ice and snow, Zhang Yang sighed lightly: "The young master when he was young may be a little nonsense, but the current young master is worthy of standing up to the sky and the earth, I publicize that it is my honor to be able to fight with the young master, even if I am buried in this northern permafrost, I will never regret it, the eldest husband was born in the world, and he always has to do something, besides, in this Jiuxia country, there must always be someone who stands up to fight against the invaders, otherwise the Jiuxia country is dead, do we still go to flatter the enemy country and be a slave of the country?!" I am willing to be a lackey under the young master, and I want to do something in this troubled world. โ
Zhang Yang's words were actually not said to Gu Lin, nor were they said to the other three, this was Zhang Yang's heart, he said it to himself, and after thinking about it, Zhang Fat let out a long breath, and a sense of pride in his heart was expressed.
Sun Lao Er and Qian Lao San glanced at each other, and smiled slightly with a tacit understanding, Zhang Fatzi was right, if they hadn't joined the Black Army, if they hadn't come to the Northland, they might still eat and drink every day, and fight with people on the rivers and lakes to fight for territory, but as Zhang Fatzi said, like Dong Lao, they are also arrogant and capable people, if no one leads them, they may choose to protect themselves and be safe, but now with Gu Lin as a black army commander, they may really be able to make a difference in this troubled worldใ
The eldest husband was born in the world, how can he live a life like an ant, doing nothing, and regret it when he is old?
Bai Zili chewed the food slowly, still reminiscing about the words of Zhang Yang, he heard a lot of things from his words, but what puzzled and surprised him the most was what they said about the second young Gu Lin of the Gu family.
Why are there two completely different evaluations, and what kind of person is this Young Marshal Lin?
Sun Lao Er and Qian Lao San had already fallen asleep leaning on the rock, the sword was placed in their hands, and they had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, no matter what kind of environment they could sleep on, of course, if there was any abnormal movement, they would naturally wake up and wake up.
The night is getting deeper, Bai Zili looks up at the starry sky, the starry sky in the north is extraordinarily bright, the starlight is brilliant, Zhang Fatzi also looked at the starry sky above his head in a daze, in this quiet and cold night, he is a little homesick, and he also misses his wife and children.
When will this war of nine summers be fought, and when will he be able to go home?
Looking at Gu Lin, who was still sitting withered, a thin layer of ice had condensed on his eyebrows and hair, Zhang Yang couldn't help but admire his young master even more, he had also climbed the iceberg for a few days in a row, everyone was resting, but he was still cultivating.
A genius is someone who not only has talent, but also works harder than the average person.
There was nothing to say all night, in this quiet night, Zhang Yang didn't know what to fall asleep on, and when he woke up the next day, the bonfire had been extinguished, and there was green smoke, and Bai Zili had already sat up, putting the food left for Gu Lin last night on the extinguished fire, and warmed it with residual warmth.
Looking at Gu Lin again, who had been completely wrapped in ice and snow, leaving only his nostrils and mouth exposed, he admired this bamboo general from the bottom of his heart!
Is it any wonder that he can become a general of the black army at such a young age? How can such a diligent and ascetic person be too poor in his ability? This black army soldier really has to let Bai Zili take a look at it.
Gu Ming, the black cavalry general who rushed into battle, and the two members of the Yuan Palace Realm are Dong Boss and Ma Zhengkun, plus the resourceful and responsible military advisor Suning, including the three deputy generals around him now, their strength is far above him!
Coupled with the young Black Army General General Zhu in front of him, everyone made him extremely impressed.
However, what Bai Zili didn't know was that the shock that Gu Lin, who had incarnated as Zhu Qingzhu, was just the beginning, and what he witnessed next was what he would never forget!
