Chapter 188: What is the Truth?
The night fell in the vast smoke and dust, and everyone's faces were deeply tired, and the battle was too hard.
The smoke in the green grass was still billowing out, but the lush green plants seemed to have some kind of magical ability to purify themselves, and after a day of smoke and fire, they were still as green as ever, and at this moment there were waves rising in the breeze, as if they were cheering for the victory of this battle.
The physical exertion could not hide the mental excitement, and their faces looked very happy.
After all, the effort pays off.
In exchange for the peace of Long Yuan.
Under the cover of the night, firelight jumped out of the dense jungle, and everyone's faces were red.
They pitched their tents on the top of the hill and held a lively feast.
Wine is naturally indispensable for the celebration banquet, and everyone's bowl is full of wine at the moment.
"Alright, it's done!", Tie Zuo stood up, and before that he had drunk three or four bowls.
Everyone looked at him and laughed, after all, not everyone had as much alcohol as he did.
Jin Zuo stood up, walked up to Tang Wen extremely reverently, held a bowl of wine in his hand and said, "Commander Tang, I respect you for this bowl of wine for the brothers here."
Tang Wen picked up the wine and smiled slightly, "The brothers are polite."
Jin Zuo's eyes seemed to have tears, and he said hoarsely: "Please also forgive us for our disrespect during the day."
Tang Wen stroked his body that was about to bend down, and said with a slight surprise: "Where did this start, you didn't treat me disrespectfully."
The shame in Jin Zuo's eyes did not disappear at all, he sighed deeply, and said: "We didn't believe you during the day, and even spoke ill of you, it's really ashamed."
Tang Wen shook his head indifferently, and said softly: "Everyone is too polite, in fact, I don't blame you at all, but I admire you from the bottom of my heart, the loyalty of each of you can be seen by the sun and the moon, and I have learned a very noble character from you."
Jin Zuo still couldn't forgive himself, and he couldn't speak like a fish bone in his throat, so he only stammered: "But we, we are too ...... Rude...... to you".
Tang Wen glanced at them deeply, and said solemnly: "You really don't have to care, because in that case, even you can't trust yourself, let alone others, it's not that you can't trust me, but you are too responsible for Long Yuan, what is wrong with this."
As he spoke, he looked up at the vast night, the cold night wind blew his hair one by one, the top of the mountain was empty, and there were bursts of whimpering echoes between the night breeze, like the song of the earth.
Tang Wen looked at it for a while, his eyes reflected the flickering firelight, and he said with emotion: "I think this bowl of wine will be honored for the brothers who died in this battle."
Everyone raised their glasses in unison, and the mountain wind suddenly blew more violently and violently.
A whimper echoed across the empty earth, and the sound of tears falling to the ground could be heard in the dark.
"It's dry~", Tang Wen poured a bowl of wine into the ground, like crystal dew drops flowing down the green rocks and thin moss.
It flows into the green mountains and blends into the earth.
There was silence for a while, and everyone's eyes lit up, I don't know if it was the fire in their eyes, or if there was this fire in their eyes.
Tang Wen beckoned, and the three or five strong men below brought up several sacks of raw meat together.
This meat is enough for each of them to have a good meal.
Then he sat down and said with a hearty smile: "Take advantage of the existing cumin and chili peppers, let's have a barbecue banquet."
All the soldiers cheered together, and the whole valley trembled.
The striker climbed up out of nowhere, grinning and said, "Commander Tang, it turns out that you have prepared the celebration banquet, amazing, I really obey you now."
Tang Wen tapped the back of his head and said, "Lord Qian, why is there grass in your hair, where did you run just now?"
The striker smiled mysteriously: "I just secretly cleaned the battlefield."
Tang Wen suddenly glared at him and said, "You are so diligent, tell me what you have gained."
The striker took out a scythe from behind him, handed it over carefully, and said without blinking his eyes: "Commander Tang, look at what you are?"
Tang Wen's face suddenly relaxed, and he said disdainfully: "Isn't this a sickle?"
The striker smiled playfully, "Commander Tang, take a closer look, you are the enemy's only iron weapon with a mark."
"Imprint?" Tang Wen looked at it carefully, and along the thin blade of the knife, he suddenly felt a bulge on the back of the knife, he turned the knife over and saw that there were two words printed on it: Dongfu.
"Dongfu ......", Tang Wen frowned and hesitated, "What do you mean?"
The forward's eyes were also staring at these two words without blinking, and he slowly spoke: "Dongfu, doesn't Commander Tang still know where it is?"
Tang Wen suddenly realized: "Could it be that Dongfu?"
The striker nodded clearly, "I see that there is only one Dongfu in Dragon City, not that there is another Dongfu."
Tang Wen put a string of chicken wings on the fire and roasted it, turning the bamboo skewer and said, "You mean that the enemy is from Dongfu."
The striker said coldly: "Dongfu is not very peaceful, although they are their own people on the surface, but in fact, they have long been thinking of ghosts, and they have always wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob the Long family."
Tang Wen pondered: "No, they have already made an agreement with the Long family."
"Agreed", the striker suddenly intercepted and said: "That was the agreement made when Lord Long Zhan was in power, and now after so many years, friends have become strangers."
Tang Wen hesitated and said: "The black paper and white characters are clearly written, and they will never fight, they won't even admit this."
The coldness in the forward's eyes became more and more intense, and his voice became colder and colder, "Forever, haha, what does this mean, even the emperor's holy decree has a time when it is not counted, let alone a small agreement."
The light in Tang Wen's eyes gradually sank, "So, you definitely think that they did it in Dongfu."
The striker picked up his scythe again, and the blade flashed silver, "I didn't say it, it said it."
Tang Wen took a breath and sighed: "I'm afraid it's hard to be convincing with just a small scythe, and they won't admit it."
The striker gritted his teeth and said: "To condemn them, we don't need them to admit it, we just know."
Tang Wen suddenly froze and said, "Is it difficult to be strong?"
The striker nodded, and said with a smile: "Isn't our Long family still able to deal with a Dongfu?"
Tang Wen pondered for a while, and said very uneasily: "This is too hasty, by the way, don't we still have a prisoner, see what he says?"
The striker turned his head and glanced down the mountain, and said, "This guy has a very hard mouth, I don't think he can say it, so I ...... it."
Tang Wen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
The striker suddenly opened his mouth wide and said abruptly: "Do you really have a way to make him open his mouth to tell the truth?"
Tang Wen had an extremely confident smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Isn't he already going to say it."
The striker frowned and said: "When is he going to say it, I only know, he survived tonight, and you will let him go tomorrow."
