For a long time, even after occupying Jinling, Zhu Wu never felt that his strength could win the first opportunity in this chaotic world.

All the while, he wanted to lower his head, take his time, and walk steadily.

All along, he didn't look like a thief.

But now, before the army of a million has arrived. He must be like a thief, greedily to plunder, spread war, and destroy.

Now, Zhu Wu showed the fangs that he put in his mouth.

Dingyuan Army, the monster he built with his own hands, used blood to erase the little joy in this world when the first lunar month had not passed and the smell of the New Year still existed.

When the docks were filled with ironclad soldiers, a curfew began in the city, and all kinds of war-related materials on the market were not allowed to be bought or sold.

The people of Jinling knew that there was going to be a war.

The peaceful days of the people came to an end at the moment when the war drums of Jinling sounded.

It just so happened that a spring rain came unexpectedly, and in the cloudy and wet rain, the sky and the earth changed color.

～～～

"Daddy, lift your feet!"

In Zhu Wu's marshal's mansion, countless soldiers stood solemnly outside, letting the cold moon and ice and snow hit the dark iron armor.

In the room, Zhu Wu sat on a chair, raised his feet slightly, and let Zhu Yu put on his combat boots.

Next to her, the little girl Xiu'er was holding a bowl of dumplings, eating absentmindedly, and a few tears fell into the bowl from time to time.

In the distance, several mothers-in-law who were waiting for her watched from afar and did not dare to step forward.

Hua Yun bowed down and stood in front of Zhu Wu with a worried expression.

"Daddy, change feet!"

Wearing one and another, Zhu Wu raised his foot again and flicked his hand on the head of the little girl on the side.

The girl glared at him, but he grinned.

"People ran away?"

At this time, Zhu Wucai spoke up and said to Hua Yun.

"Yes, there are a total of eighteen people in Jiangxi, and there is not a single person left alive according to your orders, but I searched through the corpses and found Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian."

Hua Yun glanced at Zhu cautiously, and seeing that he didn't seem to be angry, she continued.

"I thought it was missing, and I searched along their path for two days, but I didn't find it!"

"I don't blame you! I know! ”

Zhu Wu sneered, "I should have run away when I left the city." ”

Hearing this, Hua Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Killing people is the only means he can gain a foothold by Zhu Wu's side, and now he can't even kill someone.

At this time, Zhu Wu had already put on his iron armor and stood up.

On the side, the girl holding the bowl looked up, with two tears on her face.

"Five Fruits~~"

The girl choked up, "You're going to war again!" ”

Zhu Wu's hand was placed on the top of the girl's head, stroking her now black hair, and said softly.

"Well, obediently wait at home for the fifth brother to come back!"

The girl's little hand held Zhu Wu's big hand, "Fruit, when will you not fight?" ”

"When we kill all the bad guys who want our lives, we won't have to fight!"

Zhu Wu smiled, as if he was saying something inconsequential. But in my heart, there is a bitterness.

It turns out that his and Xiu's lives have changed at all!

Even if it is good to eat and use it well. But the days are still precarious.

In the past, in order to survive, they would go into the city together in the morning to ask for food.

Now, in order to survive, it is to keep killing.

Xiu'er buried half of her face in Zhu Wu's palm, and rubbed it for a long time before she reluctantly let go.

Raise the bowl in your hand, "Wuguo, eat dumplings!" ”

Her voice is still crisp, just like the days she shouted countless times.

"Wuguo, drink porridge!"

Zhu Wu smiled and nodded, pinched a dumpling and threw it into his mouth, the fragrance of meat filling and soup permeating the tip of his tongue.

Xiu'er smiled.

As before.

"Gone!"

Zhu Wu rubbed the top of Xiu'er's head again.

Turning around, the smile retracted.

If there is a mark in time and space, at this moment, it seems that the shadow of the beggar merges with the current heroic appearance.

Crash~

Zhu Wu's feet had just stepped out of the door.

Countless soldiers bowed and saluted, and the iron armor contended.

"Dashuai!"

Zhu Wu smiled and looked around, they were all brothers like wolves and tigers, and everyone had a look of meritorious service.

"Let's go!"

Zhu Wuda roared, "Hit Yangzhou!" ”

～～～

"Bring the leather mattress, it's still cold!"

Ma Xiuying had a bulging belly and was stretching out in the Shuai Mansion.

The pro-soldiers, the footsteps of the subordinates were in a hurry, but they were busy but not chaotic, but everyone had a stiff face.

Zhu Chongba's Haozhou army is also about to move, sending troops to fight.

The whole city of Luzhou was full of people, and a team of soldiers were pulling out on the street, and the black pressure was overwhelming, more than the clouds in the sky.

"There is also medicine, bring the medicine, don't forget!"

Ma Xiuying stood at the door, directing people to sort out Zhu Chongba's bags.

"Sister, don't be busy, what to bring, they all know!"

Zhu Chongba held a bowl of noodles and pulled it into his mouth.

Seeing his wife's appearance, he grinned, "Come over and eat!" It's all cold! ”

"Is it enough? Eat another egg! ”

Ma Xiuying supported her waist, sat on the side of Zhu Chongba, peeled an egg with her own hands, and put it in his bowl.

"Let's go this time, it's not ten days and a half months, and the battle will start~~~"

"Don't worry about me, I'll wait at home!"

Ma Xiuying looked at her husband and touched her belly, "It's important to get down to business!" ”

Zhu Chongba smiled with relief, and his big hand full of calluses touched his wife's stomach.

"Boy, stay at home with your mother, you have gone out to fight!"

As he spoke, he felt that he was not right, so he changed his words again, "Let's go and fight your kid!" ”

"One more bowl!"

Ma Xiuying picked another bowl of noodles, smiled at the mountain-like man next to her, and gobbled it up.

"Tap, pout!" Ma Xiuying chuckled.

Zhu Chong didn't raise his head, and sweated on his forehead after eating, "Who let you cook the noodles, it's so fragrant!" ”

The husband and wife gossip, not like the scene of the upcoming expedition, but like an ordinary people's house, the wife sends her husband out.

In this world, there is no room for the little daughter's style, and there is no room for inseparability.

Life and death can be staged at any time.

"Brother, get ready!"

After eating a bowl of noodles, Xu Dahe and Tanghe came in and stood at the door.

"Hmm!"

Zhu Chongba responded, raised his head and drank the noodle soup in the bowl, licked the edge of the bowl, and wiped his mouth.

Stand up, "Girl, let's go!" ”

"Eh~~Eh!"

At this time, there was some panic in Ma Xiuying's voice.

"Go ahead!"

"Hmm!"

Without saying much, Zhu Chongba turned around.

Suddenly, Ma Xiuying wanted to reach out and touch her husband's broad back, but her hand kept calling.

Facing his back, his eyes were slightly red.

seemed to be aware of it, Zhu Chongba's figure wanted to turn back, but he couldn't hold back.

A pair of tiger eyes walked around the room, skimming over this familiar scene, and there was some sadness in the resolute gaze.

Then, his eyes fell on the black boy at the door.

"Mu Ying, take care of your godmother!"

"Don't worry, there is me!" The latter grinned.

"Medium!" Zhu Chongba took the knife handed over by his own soldiers, "Let's go!" ”

After speaking, he strode out of the door.

～～～

"Chongba, what are we going to do in Sizhou?"

went out, Zhu Chongba was in front, and Tang and Xu Da were behind.

Tang He asked, "Our fifty or sixty thousand people, all crowded into Sizhou?" ”

Zhu Chongba's footsteps did not stop, "It's time for a war, the government has sent a million troops south to suppress Xiao Wu!" ”

"I don't understand, Zhu Wu's matter, let's go and join in the fun?"

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the two sides are fighting, and Sizhou is the front line!"

"It's not easy for us to have this little bit of family background! Do people Zhu Wu appreciate it? Soup and whispered muttering.

"We don't want him to appreciate it, we just can't be this shrunken turtle. We and his little five are both thieves, who can the government spare? Let's not wait for the government to kill, let's go up! ”

"But~~"

"No, but!" Zhu Chongba suddenly stopped and looked at Tang He, "Brother, this is not a playhouse, this is a war against the Yuan!" We can't hide from it, and we can't stand idly by! ”

"We don't have food! There are only two months of military rations for the total! Tang He spread his hands, "Or?" Levy? ”

"Whom? People? Isn't that just robbing? ”

Zhu Chongba continued to walk forward, "What have the common people made of our scourge, and they still rob us?" If you want to rob, grab it from the government! Eat the enemy. ”

As he spoke, he arrived at the stable, turned over and got on his horse.

He rubbed his chest, which was still a little swollen, and tightened the strap of the iron helmet on his head.

"Drive!"
