I didn't expect Zhu Xiaofeng to wait here for two days and only said two words, after Gonggong Li read out the holy decree, Shi Cundao went up the platform from the steps, Zhu Xiaofeng handed him the generalissimo's seal ribbon with his own hands, Shi Cundao knelt down on one knee to take it, and held it high in front of the three armies.

Shi Cundao commanded the army for 40 years, deeply loved by officers and soldiers, most of the generals below are his protégés, seeing the old marshal standing majestically on the platform, the three armies suddenly let out a burst of cheers, Shi Cundao waved his hand, and immediately returned to calm, Shi Cundao said loudly: "Your Majesty's holy decree is clear - the enemy army is strong!" As for how our army is, but I didn't say it, the emperor didn't say anything about me, I can say bluntly that our army is very weak! ”

As soon as he said this, the soldiers below were stunned, and no one expected that the marshal of a country would say such a thing at the swearing-in meeting, and they couldn't help but be moved. Zhu Xiaofeng stood beside Shi Cundao, his face was silent, he just listened quietly with his hands behind his back.

Shi Cun said: "Why do I say that? If a country's army is not weak, it will not let the enemy stare at us like staring at a wive, I want to ask you, how many years has Heggis been thinking about us? If we are not weak, we should think about them, there are only a few countries on the mainland, who has worried about whom, you all know in your heart, don't tell me that you haven't thought about this, let alone tell me that you love peace, the men of the Honglie Empire never love peace, we like to fight, like to conquer opponents, this is your heavenly surname, if any of you little rabbit cubs don't come with such a purpose, get out of my army quickly! Shi Cundao paused and said, "A while ago, Hegis suffered a defeat on the border of the Eighteen Kingdoms, and it was the girl soldiers of the daughter country who defeated them, and then the bastards who were beaten by women took aim at our Honglie Empire, I don't know how you feel, I'm as disgusting as eating a fly, I want to vomit, what does this mean?" This shows that in the eyes of Hadgis, you are not even as good as women, and I feel ashamed when I think they suffer a loss at women and want to make us angry! I ask you, what have become of us in the eyes of the Hagis? ”

The soldiers were furious and scolded, and I muttered, "Is it a small suffering?" ”

Shi Cundao gave the answer loudly: "They treat us as. Son, and the cheapest. Child! I'll ask you again, you're willing to be. Son? ”

The soldiers roared: "No! ”

"Then take the knife in your hand, cut off the lifeblood of these dog mongrels for me, and cut off their heads, and wash away your shame!"

The people below raised their knives together and shouted: "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Shi Cundao waved his hand and said: "I know that most of you are new soldiers, with little experience and confidence, and the enemy is five times that of us, but don't forget, they were also five times as many as us 20 years ago, we were not defeated 20 years ago, and we will win in 20 years!" Shi Cundao slowly looked at the army and asked, "Are there any veterans here who have fought with Heges?" ”

Some people raised their hands in the crowd below, at first only one or two sporadically, gradually three or five, more than a dozen, hundreds, and finally more than a thousand people raised their hands in the large array of 30,000 people, most of these people were about forty or fifty years old, some of them were stubble, and they stood beside those young people and were inconspicuous, Shi Cundao glanced down, and said casually: "Wang Shuzi, Zhao Erdou, Hu Niuwa, you old guys are also here, well, there are Qi Qi, Wang Ruocheng, Lin Dalu, ......." Shi Cundao said the names of more than 20 people in a row, and these veterans whose names he named were all in tears, you must know that Shi Cundao, as a marshal, has led a total of more than one million soldiers over the years, but it should be a glorious thing to be able to clearly remember the names of these most ordinary soldiers.

Shi Cundao nodded the names of a few more people, and said slowly: "Little cubs, look at these old guys around you clearly, don't look at them now, but when they come to the battlefield, they are all murderous demon kings, what is the most valuable thing in a troop?" Not well-made weapons and armor, but veterans! With these veterans, the army has its soul! You have to learn from the old ones, and then surpass them, and I hope that you will not have to fight again when you are my age, because we will plant the royal flag in the capital of Hagis and talk about peace in a pretended way. ”

The soldiers below all laughed, I knew that Shi Cundao was eloquent, and I expected to achieve such an effect, but I heard that he actually had the idea of defending and attacking and capturing the Hegis Continent, which may be just a morale-boosting general remark in the ears of others, but I know that the old man is indeed thinking so.

I was in a trance, when I heard someone around me feel and said, "The old marshal's words are really his grandmother's strength." ”

I turned my head to look and was surprised to find Gu Debiao, the commander of the forbidden army, standing next to me, and I smiled at him and said, "Thank you Lord Gu for what happened just now." "Now that I know the identity of his emperor's brother-in-law, I have a high look at what he did just now, although Gu Debiao is a reckless man who relies on the emperor's superiors to be unlearned, but this person is not annoying.

"Where, where. Although the forbidden army is not a regular army, the brothers still know a little about the rules of marching and fighting, and this must not stop the old marshal's enthusiasm. ”

I only nodded, confused, I didn't understand what he meant by coming up to be polite to me, although he already knew my identity as a sword god, but he didn't need to be so low, and as for him, a man in his 40s, calling himself a brother in front of me was even more inexplicable.

Gu Debiao saw that I didn't speak, pretending to look around casually, suddenly his eyes flashed, and his eyes fell on Shi Dijia, Shi Dijia followed us to the camp early in the morning, and hid behind the guard of honor, at this time, she was looking at Shi Cundao on the handsome stage with a pair of wonderful eyes, she was a girl who saw this kind of lineup for the first time, and she was curious and excited, and she didn't notice that someone was peeping at her.

Gu Debiao stabbed me, and asked awkwardly: "Brother Shi, isn't that young lady Sister Ling?" ”

I hurriedly said: "Master Gu is polite, just call me Di Zai in the future, what you are talking about is my third uncle's only daughter, my cousin." ”

Gu Debiao looked at Shi Dijia with good eyes, and said casually: "Have you ever promised someone?" ”

"I didn't hear my third uncle talk about it."

Gu Debiao's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "How old is Sister Ling?" ”

As soon as I heard it, I smiled and said, "What's the matter, Lord Gu has started to worry about Gu Gongzi's life?" ”

Gu Debiao said: "Who is Gu Gongzi?" ”

"Your son."

Gu Debiao said blankly: "I don't have an heir yet, where did Gu Gongzi come from?" ”

I immediately became alarmed: "Then you ......"

Gu Debiao also felt out of shape, and hurriedly gathered his mind and said, "Oh, just ask, hehe." ”

I looked at him suspiciously, and said to myself, does this kid still want the old cow to eat the tender grass? Shi Dijia just turned 16 this year, and Gu Debiao looks a few years younger than Shi Dong, if this is really the case...... I suddenly thought, this kid keeps calling me Brother Shi, doesn't he want to be my brother-in-law?

At this time, Shi Cundao's pre-war mobilization came to an end, and he began to exercise the authority of the generalissimo to assign tasks, and he said loudly: "Pu Qixiong listens to orders. ”

Puccion crossed the crowd and debuted: "The end will be! ”

"I order you to go out with the commander of the left army, and you must strictly control the order and prohibit it, and there must be no mistakes."

Pu Qixiong said: "Order! Then he turned around and hugged his fists at the army, and said loudly, "The marshal is loved, and the old bones can be galloped on the battlefield again. ”

Shi Cundao said again: "Shi Dong's order." ”

Shi Dong said: "The last general! ”

"I order you to be the commander of the right army, and there must be no mistakes."

"Order!" Shi Dong also turned around and hugged his fists, but didn't say anything.

Next, according to the procedure, the army should have set off, but Shi Cundao did not give the order, but stepped aside, and gave me a look, my heart moved, knowing that it was almost time for me to play.

Sure enough, Zhu Xiaofeng waved his hand downward and said, "Before leaving, I have one more thing to say, and it is a great joy. ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Zhu Xiaofeng's gourd, Zhu Xiaofeng deliberately said unhurriedly: "I want to seal a former left general to you." ”

The people below are even more puzzled, before the three armies set out, what is a big deal to seal a left former general? Zhu Xiaofeng beckoned to me and said, "Brother Xian, please step forward and listen to the seal." ”

People were slightly shocked when they heard Zhu Xiaofeng call me virtuous brother, I got off the horse and walked to the handsome platform, Zhu Xiaofeng took his hand and said: "I am now saying that I am specially enshrined as the left former general, from now on, he will share weal and woe with all the soldiers and soldiers, and cut through thorns and thorns for me, until as the old marshal Shi said, I will lead you to plant the royal flag of my Honglie Empire on the capital of Hejis!" ”

The soldiers can't hear anything about this sentence for the time being, and many generals have already tasted some special flavors: Since it is Shi Cundao who is in charge, why is it Stitchai who led you to victory? Looking at Shi Cundao again, he was neither anxious nor angry, but listened with a smile. A large part of these generals have seen me at Shi Cundao's 80th birthday banquet, and know my identity in the Shi family, even if they haven't seen it, they heard that my surname is Shi, and it is clear that they can confirm each other slightly, many people see Shi Cundao and the emperor join forces to launch a young man to serve as the fourth person in the army, and some of them are resentful, even if they are Shi Cundao's protégés, they are also quite suspicious, after all, fighting is not child's play, and it is difficult to say whether a young man is in such an important position for the whole war situation.

Zhu Xiaofeng motioned for me to come to the stage, took my hand in front of everyone's eyes, and said with a smile: "Maybe you all know who he is - that's right, my virtuous brother is the grandson of Marshal Shi, maybe you have to think about it again, is this Shi Cundao old and confused, in order to let his children and grandchildren be shaded, he actually ran to me, this old man and the emperor are two old and confused, don't you want to give our surname to life?" ”

Some of the generals below were crying and laughing, and some were silent, but they soon understood that the emperor must have said this for a reason, and they couldn't help but prick up their ears.

Zhu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I named the former general of Shi Dizaizuo not because he is Shi Cundao's grandson, but because of his other identity. ”

The three armies can listen to the needle, all waiting for the emperor's next step.

"Many of you still remember the battle with Haggis more than 20 years ago, right?" Zhu Xiaofeng turned his head but digressed for thousands of miles, in the stunned eyes of everyone, Zhu Xiaofeng said, "Needless to say, at that time, the Hegis soldiers were in their prime, although our country had good generals and warriors, but they could only barely support, if it wasn't for a person who was born, the consequences were really unimaginable, who is this person, even if you haven't seen it, you should know, right?" ”

At this time, except for Huang Yifei, Gu Debiao and a few other people in the audience, their expressions were indifferent, and the rest of the people immediately discussed, listening to what the emperor said, it is not difficult to guess who this person is, but they don't understand why the emperor mentioned him at this moment...... Seeing that no one was talking, Gonggong Li had to act as a temporary rescuer, and he said in a voice that was just enough for the people below to hear: "Is the emperor referring to the sword god?" ”

Zhu Xiaofeng said loudly: "Yes, it is the Sword God." He turned his head and asked Shi Cundao, "Marshal Shi, you told me how many years was the exact time since the last confrontation between the two continents?" ”

Shi Cun said: "The last time the two continents clashed was twenty-three years ago. ”

Zhu Xiaofeng asked me coldly, "Brother Xian, how old are you?" ”

I had to say, "I'm twenty-three years old." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng asked with a smile: "Have you guessed the other identity of General Xiao Shi?" ”

"Oh......" The answer was so obvious and sensational that many people opened their mouths, but none of them could say the whole thing.

"You guessed it, Stitchai, he is the reincarnation of the Sword God!"

"Whew-" The whole barracks suddenly exploded, and everyone from the general to the soldiers looked up at me in great shock, none of them bothered to talk to others, and first let out an exclamation to themselves, and many people tried desperately to pat their ears with their hands, suspecting that they had heard it wrong.

The phalanx of 30,000 people was in chaos, and the nearby battalions didn't know what was going on, and they were also scratching, Shi Cundao was just about to come forward to rectify, but Zhu Xiaofeng stopped him, and shouted loudly in this chaos: "Just now, there are still many of you who don't believe that I can plant the royal flag of the Honglie Empire on the capital of Hejis, but I never say empty words, soldiers, I have given you the most adequate supplies, the most sophisticated weapons, the best marshals and generals, and now, I have given you a sword god, what reason do you have not to win?" When Zhu Xiaofeng said this, he suddenly raised his arms and shouted, "Sword God! The officers and soldiers below almost subconsciously shouted: "Sword God!" ”

This fierce shout shook for miles, and the other battalions didn't hear what they were shouting at first, Zhu Xiaofeng took the lead and shouted twice, which was equivalent to beating the drum and passing the flowers, and when all the soldiers heard the words "Sword God", everything became more clear, because these two simple words were originally easy to understand: the Honglie Empire produced a sword god, and he was now in the middle of them. The soldiers' emotions were filled with seven points of surprise, two points of suspicion, and one point of expectation - everyone wished that they would actually see this sword god, so they shouted even more fervently, and at first it was noisy, and then the whole company camp resounded with a uniform shout: "Sword God! Sword God! Sword God! Unlike the ups and downs of Shanhu Long Live Heaven, the sound of hundreds of thousands of people roaring together resounded in the sky, shaking the earth and trembling.

Zhu Xiaofeng's eyes were scarlet, and he grabbed my hand and said excitedly: "Brother Xian, this is what I want!" ”

Gonggong Li said cautiously in the earth-shattering shout: "Your Majesty, at this time, it would be good if General Xiao Shi could show his hand in public." ”

My heart suddenly lifted, I wasn't ready for this, so I had to show it. Zhu Xiaofeng glared at Gonggong Li and said, "Little family, what I said can others still doubt it?" How can anyone who wants to see the power of the sword god? ”

Gonggong Li said disgracefully: "The slave is too talkative. ”

The roar of the battalion lasted for a quarter of an hour before it gradually stopped, and the soldiers were full of emotion, which was different from just now - although Shi Cundao's bold words just now were exciting, they were just bold words, just like a poor boy who had made up his mind to work hard before leaving the mountain village, but this pride was unconfident, and it would gradually disappear in the tribulations that followed. But there is a sword god to support him, this is like the rich second generation going to start a business with a gold card, he has something real to build on, and now, Zhu Xiaofeng has successfully stuffed this real thing in everyone's heart. He was well aware of the difference in this difference, so his face also became full, his tone turned calm, and he said slowly: "There has never been a twenty-three-year-old sword god on the mainland before, and there has never been a forty-year-old left former general in my army, and now that the former situation has appeared, I really don't know what official position to seal your sword god, so I have to make him a twenty-three-year-old left front general, and any of you can talk to me if you have any opinions." ”

The generals who were not angry just now all smiled humbly at this time...... Zhu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand and picked up the general's seal and put it in my arms, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xian, I still say the same thing, you are willing to contribute to the country, I want to thank you." ”

Shi Cundao said on the side: "The emperor is serious, as a citizen of Honglie, this is the duty that Di Zai should fulfill. ”

Zhu Xiaofeng said to him with a smile: "Naturally, I also want to thank Marshal Shi for giving birth to such a good grandson." He patted Shi Cundao on the shoulder, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Now that you have a twenty-three-year-old general in your army, you may not be able to have a thirty-year-old marshal in the future. ”

Shi Cundao was stunned and speechless, really according to Jun Wu's joke, Zhu Xiaofeng's sentence was like a regular lesson for him, so Shi Cundao couldn't think about it much, but the old man thought about it again, and then he was relieved, and said with a smile: "The old minister obeys the order." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng saw that I was still wearing a pullover armor and asked, "What about the armor of the virtuous brother?" ”

Shi Cun said: "Oh, Weichen has ordered someone to build it, but he hasn't made it in a hurry." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng shook his head and said: "The sword and gun have no eyes, how can I build it now, Li Quan, go and get my golden silk armor." ”

Gonggong Li answered, and after a while, he came up with a large tray, and there was a dark red armor on the tray, the style was indescribably strange, only to see that there were dark lines surging at the shoulder pads and chest mirrors, and the hollow place was wound by fine gold wire, and the helmet was divided into six wings, and the helmet was also red. On closer inspection, this suit of armor is very worn, and it is clearly old.

Shi Cundao was taken aback when he saw this set of armor and said: "Your Majesty, this can't be helped, the old minister has seen this set of golden silk armor when he served the first emperor, this is a relic of the first emperor, and it can't be worn unless it is the respect of the Ninety-Five." ”

Zhu Xiaofeng nodded and said: "That's true, but the old marshal doesn't know, the first owner of this set of armor is not the first emperor, but a member of our Honglie Empire Emperor Gaozu's commanded generals, Gaozu Rongma has been in the enemy camp once, thanks to the fierce general who took off this set of armor to be able to take it through, and then this set of armor has been left by Gaozu's side, and it has been left behind after re-coloring, so strictly speaking, it is not exclusive to the royal family. ”

What else did Shi Cundao want to say Zhu Xiaofeng waved his hand at him and said to me: "Brother Xian, I will personally put on armor for you." ”

I had to take off this set of armor and pile it aside, Zhu Xiaofeng took the lead in picking up the battle skirt and wrapping it around my waist, and then put the chest guard down from my head, there is a silk silk behind the chest guard, which must be tied tightly from behind, Zhu Xiaofeng pulled the silk tape, I twisted, Zhu Xiaofeng said: "What's wrong with the virtuous brother?" ”

"Uh, it's nothing, it's just that I'm not used to wearing clothes that are buttoned from behind......"

This set of golden silk armor is gorgeous, and it is also very complicated to wear, from helmets to cuirass to wrist guards, battle skirts and combat boots, Shi Cundao is also helping on the side, so it took five or six minutes to put it in order. Tens of thousands of people in the audience watched an emperor and a generalissimo help me get dressed, but they didn't feel overstepped at all, and when they saw me dressed neatly, they cheered together. I turned around a few times on the stage, but my heart gradually began to miss the iron armor that I had left aside - now this thing is beautiful and too troublesome, and of course I have all the tail wings I wanted before, but the weight has increased a lot, although the gestures have not collapsed, but I guarantee that if you dare to wear it for many of the things that are usually needed, first of all, you must not defecate in the open anymore, let alone do anything that is immoral--you can't take that cuirassor off without help. Besides, if you wear this thing, you have to go into the deep house compound, if you live in a shantytown, you have to ask someone to take you in and out, and finally, as a modern person, I am still quite sensitive to the old clothes worn by others, what if the previous owner has a skin disease? Anyway, I didn't feel comfortable. Zhu Xiaofeng circled around me twice and said with satisfaction: "Well, it still fits, but there is still a sword missing." As soon as I thought that if I took his sword again, I would have to live surrounded by a pile of old goods from now on, so I hurriedly pressed his hand and begged in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't do this, I really don't want it!" ”

I'm still asking for a monthly pass, and I forgot what I wanted to say today......
