Chapter Thirty-Six—Stopping Fighting
Xie Yan went ashore, then handed her the harpoon in his hand, and asked the soldier in the distance to get firewood to make a fire here, and then came back to kill the fish in the water himself.
"Why don't you join everyone?"
Xie Yan's side face was reflected in the firelight, the corners of his mouth turned into a smile, and the corners of his eyes were so gentle:
"Isn't it good?"
However, what he said was confusing, but fortunately, for Wanzhang at the moment, only eating was the most important, and everything else could be ignored, so he calmly sat down beside him, waiting to sit and enjoy the results.
The big fish is big, but it is too difficult to cook when baked, and Wanzhang waits for the worms to come out but he can't see and eat them, especially when he smells the aroma mixed in the air, he can only keep swallowing his saliva, and after a while, he still screams in his stomach.
Xie Yan smiled warmly in the firelight, at this moment the sky has darkened for most of the time, the sun sets, the moon comes out, in the distance is the people in the bonfire, near is the sparkling Guhuai River, he smiled brightly, the silver armor fell on the moonlight, like a layer of frost and dew, obviously it was cold, but I don't know if it was because of his laughter, or the projection of the bonfire, it was rendered into a very warm tone.
The fish was finally cooked, Xie Yan very selflessly handed it to Yunzhang who was like a hungry wolf, and saw that she ate a big bite proudly, and slowly spoke casually while continuing to grill the fish:
"Zhang'er, can you tell me why you want to travel with the army?"
Wan Zhang's hand that was tearing the fish meat stopped, almost choking to death, and he was silent on the spot for a long time.
He asked himself this question, which seemed to be just a matter of immediate importance, but in fact it was related to many things, related to the real reason why he came to him back then. She could easily lie to him again, but was she really going to do it? Now, do you still want to hide it from him like you did at the beginning? Do you want to take advantage of him?
In the past three years since he came to the Jin Kingdom, he has always been so good to himself......
What's more, he is so smart, I don't know if he really didn't see his purpose, or if he just kept pretending not to know.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't lie to him anymore, and he didn't want to hide it anymore, let alone lie and deceive, so he decided to tell him honestly.
Pulling his lips, looking into his eyes, he said cautiously:
"Xie Yan, if I say that when I came to the Jin Kingdom, it was not to defect to the Jin Kingdom at all, but for another purpose, you ...... Will you blame me? ”
However, when he clearly heard that he was only deceived back then, he did not have a little anger, as if he had foreseen it, and even asked her with a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"And what is your purpose?"
"This ...... I can't say that. ”
Wan Zhang bit his lip desperately, the reason could not be told to anyone, he could only explain palely, "But there is one thing you can believe me, I will not harm the Jin Kingdom, in this battle, I will do my best to help the Jin Kingdom achieve victory." ”
After saying it in one breath with a weak heart, she no longer had the confidence to look at Xie Yan, extremely worried about whether he would ignore her again, and after worrying for a long time, she heard his voice as usual, gentle and tranquil:
"I believe in you."
didn't get any blame, and was even willing to believe her, but she was stunned, looking at Xie Yan's face that was always smiling at her, she only felt guilty in her heart.
"I'm sorry!"
Feeling strongly ashamed, her first reaction was to run away quickly, squeezing out an apology between her teeth, and then threw down the grilled fish that she had only eaten a few bites and ran away from Xie Yan.
It wasn't until the Huai River not far away blocked her way that she finally calmed down and took two heavy breaths, at this time there was no wind, and the air was so quiet that it seemed to be solidified, with a faint fragrance of May flowers.
When there are many floods in the Huai River in May, but the appearance at this time is very quiet, there is no trace of wind, the water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the reflection of the moon and the stars in the world, making people feel in a trance that as long as they stretch out their hands, they can touch the stars and moon in the sky.
However, after all, Wanzhang is a thorough person, knowing that the mirror flowers and water and moon are just empty fields, he smiled bitterly at the reflection in the water, and reached out to touch the virtual scene in the water.
Everything in the world is illusory, and those who can't understand it are looking for troubles, just like everyone in this world, just like themselves in Xie Yan.
She closed her eyes with mixed feelings, and now she finally knew what it meant to be incompatible, and if she wanted to complete her mission, she had to hurt someone who was so good to her.
He ...... to himself It's really good, it's good.
But he shouldn't, be so nice to himself.
In the early morning of the next day, after a night of rest, the Beifu soldiers lined up neatly, standing under the dawn of the newborn, the whole army was majestic, and the momentum was like a rainbow. Although the number is small, they are all strong and brave soldiers, and each of them can defeat ten with one.
And the person who trained such a fine soldier is the first big family of the Jin State - Chenjun Xie Clan, born in the time of Cao Wei, for generations as an official for the country, to Xie An chose to live in seclusion because of the chaos in the world, but in the end, for the sake of the people, he could only come out to be the prime minister of the Jin State, and the clansmen were elegant and virtuous.
Especially these people around him can be called the dragon and phoenix among people, and they are rare. Wanzhang has been with them for a long time, and sometimes even feels that he is also contaminated with fairy energy.
Mounted on the horse and continued to march towards Xiangyang. You can clearly hear the steps of the Beifu soldiers behind him neatly and consistently, the armor is sonorous, and the pennant hunts with the wind. In this atmosphere, even if she is a daughter, she can't wait to learn from Mulan to fight and feel what it feels like to be truly heroic and heroic.
When she was envious and admired, Xie Yan beside her seemed to see through her mind and asked:
"Now that you have also seen the Beifu soldiers trained by my Xie clan, what do you think?"
"Sure enough, it lives up to its name!"
Wanzhang felt it and blurted out, suddenly remembering the conversation with him last night, and couldn't help but feel guilty again, but he also knew that Xie Yan was only dedicated to resolving his guilt, paused, and pretended to forget about last night's events, and said with a smile: "No, it's even more shocking than I imagined, and it really deserves to be the strongest elite soldier today." ”
If you want to talk about the origin of this famous Beifu soldier in the whole world, you have to start from the second year of Taiyuan, Xie An recommended Xie Xuan as the Yanzhou Thorn History, the town of Guangling, and two years later he also led the Xuzhou Thorn History, stationed in the North Mansion. During this period, Xie Xuan recruited Liu Gaozhi, He Qian and other powerful generals, and integrated the army under their command, which was mainly homeless, to form the Beifu Army. Therefore, this Beifu soldier, who can now make countless national armies frightened, is actually just a homeless person.
However, it is precisely because they were once displaced people who were unable to provide food and life security, when someone is willing to give them basic living needs and security, they will return the favor with all their loyalty, and they will not be alone, and they can also ensure that their hearts are not worried, that they are well fed, and that the whole family does not go hungry.
It was such an elite Beifu soldier turned into an elite Beifu soldier who was rejected by everyone, and its combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and after its completion, it not only consolidated the power of the Xie clan of Chenjun, but also provided a strong guarantee for the survival of the Jiangzuo Jin regime.
"The world is in turmoil, and the people are in danger, but if you want the world to be peaceful, you must use the means of war, stop fighting by force, and restrain the war by force, so there are always some people who want to surrender their lives to the country, so as to exchange for the peace and contentment of others.
Xie Yan said this calmly, and when Wanzhang silently understood the meaning of his words, Xie Xuan, who was not far away, had heard his words and rode over, putting on a military uniform, Xie Xuan had long since lost his unruly appearance at home, and there was a bit of a temperament of worrying about the country and the people between his eyebrows, and his tone was also the usual grace and unfazed of the Xie people:
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, it should be so, only when the world is peaceful, there will be peace of the royal family, and the peace of the world, since you rely on it, you must be loyal to it, even if you don't want to do it in your heart, in front of your family and country, your own thoughts will always be insignificant."
In the end, he has been a relative for many years, a friend for many years, and a military general for many years, and he knows the meaning of stopping fighting for martial arts, and at this moment, only Xie Xuan can best understand the meaning of what Xie Yan just said, and can enlighten him in the most effective way to understand the idea that he is still not willing to meet each other. It was only now that Wanzhang understood that in his eyes, the high-spirited war scene, in Xie Yan's heart, he didn't want this to happen.
After all, he is different from Murong Chong, Murong Chong fought for the sake of war, and he had to fight for the sake of peace.
But how do they know, or even if they know it in their hearts, they have to go on without hesitation, dignified Chen Jun Xie, giving up the comfortable life that could have been elegant and elegant for a lifetime, regardless of state affairs, so for the country and the people, but in the end it was only the jealousy of the royal family. Even the army, which had been painstakingly trained to defend the country for the sake of the country's people, became a reason for the royal family to think that they intended to take their place.
Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.
In the past, I always felt that my prophet was wise, but now I find that the more I know what will happen next, the more I feel that the scenery in front of me is like a dream bubble, fragile and empty, and the more infinite the scenery, the more sad it is.
At this moment, in the face of the Haohao Beifu soldiers, in the face of the Yangyang Guhuai River, and in the face of the incomparable Xie Gongzi, everything is still a grand scene before the storm is coming, in addition to being stunned, there is suddenly an inexplicable and wonderful idea that rises.
If she wasn't her, wasn't born to live for others, wasn't a mere victim of this troubled world, if she had a choice, how much would she hope...... can stay by Xie Yan's side for a little longer.
Even if the Xie clan would be annihilated under the power of the Jin dynasty in a few years, she hoped to be with him.
She really wished.
