Chapter 552: The Wounds of the Past and the Road to the Future (6,000 Words)
It's like a sleepless night, and the hustle and bustle lasts until the early hours of the morning. Soon after the battle broke out in Huochuanling, people from all walks of life on the Aoki Village knew the outcome of the battle in different ways. After that, it was the troublesome aftermath of the situation, the abuse and shouting that spread up and down the cottage, and the celebration of the people in the mountains.
The people who were sent out returned one after another, and then they were scolded one after another. The inhabitants of the cottage now knew the news of the victory in the war, and watched this strange triumph in the valley with excitement and pleasure. After that, the aftermath lasted all night, the return of the men and horses, the gathering, and the result of cleaning the battlefield, and in the gap between joy and joy, there was still a slight cry......
This movement continued until the east became whiter, and then it dissipated as if it had been suddenly divided by something. In the early morning, the morning dew wets the clothes, and in the fresh air, it seems quiet and empty, and in the distant mountains, there is a refreshing atmosphere dissipating. When I came out of the room, my whole heart felt empty.
Lou Shuwan sat on the wall, looking at the appearance of the residents in the valley below when they got up in the morning, and after a while, Yu Yulin also walked out and looked at the appearance of this valley. As for the situation of the battle in Huo Chuanling, they knew at the same time last night, and it was hard to believe the results. Lou Shuwan couldn't figure out why six thousand people were killed in less than an hour in the face of a lineup of no more than 1,200 people, but even if it was unbelievable, at that time, she couldn't say anything, thinking of Ning Yi's words in her mind, and remembering a slap last night. It's empty.
As a general of the army, Yu Yulin saw the whole situation more clearly and thought more clearly. Although it was a little hard to believe at first, one night passed, and by this morning, everything that should have been thought of could be imagined.
No matter how many people Luan Sanwolf and Chen Zhenhai have these people, after all, they are bloody and brave, and this kind of team will rush up when they encounter soft persimmons, but they can't really fight after all. Yet even so, the speed of the rout of 6,000 against 1,200 was so exaggerated. It can only be explained from the side. The strength and sharpness of the team in Aoki Village are a bit exaggerated.
The chaos after they came back last night, Yu Yulin could see some clues, because after the team came back. And a bunch of people. It was later when he returned to the stockade. And they were trained especially badly, but these people were all smiling and grinning, obviously not defeated.
On the battlefield because of the rush too fast. There were too many people killed, so he directly led him out of the team, and then killed a lot of people in the mountains before happily returning to the village. In the general concept, you can say that the enemy is too weak, but in fact, in reality, everyone is desperate for their lives, and even the regular army of the Wu Dynasty often dares to hunt down and kill in this way only when facing an unarmed enemy. With this kind of team that takes the initiative to seek the enemy's will, whether the enemy is weak or not is one thing, and it is indeed a strong appearance in itself.
And the most terrible thing is that when they come back, they are reprimanded, and then they may have to be punished and have their leader write a review or something. This proves that the leaders of the mountains are not carried away by a small victory like ordinary cottages, and their purpose is far more than that.
In Yu Yulin's opinion, it is possible for anyone else to do this kind of thing and manipulate a Qingmu village in Luliang Mountain to this Cheng Dù, except for Ning Rentu, who came from the secret detective department.
He wanted to tell Lou Shuwan about these things, but after all, there was still no exit, and he didn't know the grievances between the two, but Lu Liangshan's trip, maybe when Ning Yi intervened, it was already doomed to be fruitless.
In the morning, people came up the mountain one after another to visit the leaders of Aoki Village. Because the blood bodhisattva was injured, the second village master Zheng Azhuan came out to receive everyone, and also appeased everyone's feelings, although there have been some small frictions in Luliangshan recently, but Qingmu Zhai can calm the situation, and for everyone's attitude and conditions to come to Luliang to do business, this side will not change, and everyone will be welcome to come.
After last night's friction, Aoki Village thundered and dispersed the attack of Luan Sanwolf and others, and this result is already a good thing. Lou Shuwan didn't plan to visit the leader of the mountain again, so it was Yu Yulin and Tian Shi who came forward, and after meeting Zheng Ashu, Qingmu Village invited everyone to stay for breakfast. While waiting, Tian Shi went to the rear, and Yu Yulin knew that he was probably trying to visit the Blood Bodhisattva, so he walked outside the hall, and among the nearby mountain roads, someone came over.
"General Yu, how did you sleep last night?"
Turning his head, he saw Ning Yi in a white robe, and in the early morning air, his smile seemed quite easy-going.
"Mr. Ning, what a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence, I came to General Yu on purpose." Ning Yi said with a smile.
Yu Yulin frowned: "Oh, what does Mr. Ning have to teach you?" ”
"I don't dare to teach you, Ning Mou came to the mountain this time because he wanted Luliangshan to be better, although there was some friction with everyone, but he didn't come to be a villain, I hope General Yu can understand this."
Yu Yulin nodded with some confusion.
"Ning wants to facilitate business with the Tiger King, of course, the premise is that the Tiger King is willing to return to the imperial court and be a member of my Wu Dynasty......"
"Wait." Yu Yulin waved his hand, "Ning Gongzi should have talked to Miss Lou about these things......"
Ning Yi smiled: "That's right, the conditions have been put forward to her." However, there are some grievances and grievances, many times it is inevitable to make people dizzy and blind, it is a matter of business, I will be a little villain first. This is a copy of the one I gave to Miss Lou. Don't worry, the things above are all the same, my Jian yì is, after General Yu went back, he directly told Miss Sùlou, I gave you such a thing. You can say that I may have tried to sow discord between you, but you confessed, so that she could not cheat and had a lot less trouble. ”
Yu Yulin looked at the envelope that Ning Yi handed over, and originally thought that if the numbers of the two things were not right, he might be designing Lou Shuwan, who knew that Ning Yi would persuade him to confess. In this way, Lou Shuwan naturally couldn't do anything anymore. It's just that he seems to be a little villainous: "In this way, Miss Lou is afraid that she hates you even more." Mr. Ning, what's going on between you? ”
"It's impossible to resolve the grudge, if she is willing to say it, General Yu will know, if she is unwilling, let this matter be buried in her heart. But overall, I don't have any ill feelings towards her, and I hope she can live well in the future. Ning Yi arched his hand, "Then please leave it to the general." If you can cooperate. It's good for both you and me. ”
"Yu understands."
Yu Yulin also arched his hand, and he had a little admiration in his heart for this man who was still hostile last night. After Ning Yi left, he ate breakfast in the hall. After hitting the wall, Tian Shi, who was not in high love, went down the mountain. After returning to the yard. Yu Yulin took out the letter according to Ning Yi's words-good feelings are good feelings, what he said in his mouth is still the same set of rhetoric that Ning Yi taught him: Ning Yi may want to frame Lou Shuwan. And he took the initiative to take out the letter. In this way, Lou Shuwan will also accept his love.
Sure enough, after forcibly calmly checking the two copies of the same number, Lou Shuwan sat there, pinching the letter paper, her eyes red. Ning Yi's behavior can be said to be a guarantee for the public, and for private purposes, it is the distrust of a gentleman who is cautious. Yu Yulin silently put away his letter and went out, although he failed this time, he still admired Lou Shuwan's ability, knowing that Lou Shuwan would do something on the Tiger King's side, he was willing to pull a favor, but in private matters, he was not interested in her grievances with the demons at all.
The main thing is that, if possible, he doesn't want to be an enemy of this guy nicknamed the heart demon, and he always feels that he has everything and can calculate everything.
On this morning, many people, including the Great Light Sect, had already said goodbye to Aoki Village and left the mountain. Due to last night's great victory and the battle that broke out in the Hall of Righteousness, from last night to this morning, out of concern for the Blood Bodhisattva, many people in the mountains were ready to move, and they were angry to make a move against the people of the Great Light Sect. No matter how high Lin Zongwu thinks of himself, he will not stay in this dangerous place for long, and after saving enough face, he will say goodbye to Qingmu Village openly, and Ning Yi, who does not plan to mention the plan to kill him for the time being, is even more open-minded. The two sides sent people down the mountain after a "friendly exchange".
After turning around, Ning Yi asked people to publicize the defeat of Lin Zongwu, the leader of the Great Light Sect, to the Blood Bodhisattva in Luliang Mountain-you are so famous, you stepped on a mountain, and finally walked away in disgrace, saying that it was a tie, who would believe it......
Anyway, there are not many witnesses, and the Blood Bodhisattva has not lost, after Lin Zongwu is gone, who dares to tell the truth in Luliang Mountain......
And on this afternoon, after things calmed down a little, what appeared at the training camp in Aoki Houshan was not a celebration, but a funeral, a review, and the enforcement of military law.
After commending some of the soldiers who had fought valiantly, and giving them two pounds of meat and a small iron medal, it was announced that the list of comrades who had died last night was announced. Some of the bodies were recovered and placed in front of the square. Then several captains and squadron leaders were called to the front to execute the batons, and some of them were also praised and received meat and medals.
“…… We won yesterday's battle, and some of us were very brave, and we don't want to erase the credit. But at the same time, yesterday's battle was also a mess! Han Jing, who was the best at training soldiers among several village owners, said loudly on the wooden platform, with Ning Yi in his sleeve and wrote it out, and transferred his views and construction in the name of Hongti, after reading it a few times, he recited it according to the above.
“…… It's okay to win!? It's okay if there aren't many dead people who don't look like they!? Our brothers, our companions, could have died less! Did you see these brothers crying last night or this morning? When others are happy, they can only cry at home, and some people can only express their happiness. The third brigade Fan Meng's mother, when you train, she always finds some fruit to send to you to eat, she has been looking for Fan Meng last night, when she saw the corpse this morning, she cried and told me, the village is guarded, everyone is fine...... Is it really good! Her son is dead! I can't come back—"
Han Jing waved his arms and shouted loudly, his eyes were already a little moist.
"Each of you has only one life, and every brother has only one life. We grew up in Luliang Mountain, and it's no problem to work hard, but the purpose of hard work is to live! Qi Qianjun and Zheng Ashi, why did they fight them today, when the fight started yesterday. They are still the bravest! But as your captain, they are incompetent! Because when we are desperate outside, they not only have to think about their hard work, but also think about how to bring back even one more brother's life on the premise of ensuring victory! So, they're the captains. Qi Qianjun, you say, are you worthy of Fan Meng's mother? ”
On the side, a man named Qi Qianjun lying on a bench lowered his head and did not speak. A moment later. Only then did he say in a rough voice: "I was wrong, I am willing to be punished!" ”
Han Jing turned around and took a breath: "Of course, you will say. This is the first time you've gone out to fight since you trained. There are some things that are inexperienced. If you can't take it, it's good if you win...... But in reality, we haven't met a serious opponent at all. Right now. To the north of Lüliang, there are more than 2,000 people wandering, who are the former Liao army. You can be so powerful against these guys like Luan and the three wolves, but what about them? Can you get away with it? In any battle, we have to learn from experience, and the mistakes we made this time, everyone will look back and think about it! How to stay calm! How to maintain the cooperation with the brothers around you! How about not happening like yesterday again! Tonight, you're all going to review it, and as a squad, each of you should think about it and say what you think you could do better! Finally, we will unify and review it together......"
When he began to beat the military stick, Han Jing came down from the wooden platform and was quite satisfied with his speech. Cao Qianyong followed behind: "Old Five, I didn't see that you can say it so much, I always think it makes sense, but the taste is a little weird......"
Han Jing took the piece of paper out of his sleeve: "According to what I said above, damn, I also feel that I am a little literary." Third brother, do you think it's more suitable for the fourth brother to come over and talk about these ......"
In Qingmu Village, the second and fourth focus on administration, and the third and fifth focus on military, Cao Qianyong took the paper and looked at it: "Tsk, this Ning people slaughter...... Hey, you said that he had something to do with Hongti, isn't there some trouble......"
"I heard about it. To be honest, I do have some dislike for that little white face, but I have to admit that he is very capable...... Just this Lin Zongwu of the Great Light Sect, his mother, I knew that I would transfer someone to kill him when I came back last night, so why don't you ......?"
There is a reason for the discussion between the two at this time. Since last night's incident spread, Ning Yi's name and stories about him have finally begun to spread widely in Aoki Village.
Originally, Ning Yi came to Qingmu Village and was an outsider. Even though he announced his relationship with Hongti to some people in the core of Qingmu Village, these people still had a layer of estrangement from Ning Yi. If it weren't for this, a large group of people would go to Qingmu Village to force the palace, Qingmu Village could have been publicized, and we also came to a strong reinforcement, the leader of the Secret Investigation Division, Ning Rentu, who heard the change in the wind and lakes on the rivers and lakes, and the development and training of Qingmu Village were all influenced by him...... Because of this barrier, his identity is not used here.
Ning Yi originally planned to use a period of time to eliminate this barrier, but who knew that after last night's battle, the situation would slide in a direction that everyone had never expected. The leader of the Great Light Sect challenged the Blood Bodhisattva, as his own village master, and a woman, after all, he was still injured, and when he came to the end, the person who was originally going to marry the village owner suppressed the scene.
And in Lin Zongwu's mouth, the marriage of the owner of his own village was said to be extremely ugly, and rumors spread that the two actually had a master-apprentice relationship, spewing blood! The owner of his own village was bullied to this Cheng dù, who can bear it!
In the midst of the spread of these rumors, Ning Yi's identity was finally completely dug up, and the past events of Aoki Village, his guidance on military training, and the fact that he brought incomparably magical firearms this time were all reported. Because of these things, the original estrangement turned into hostility in one day, and this Ning Gongzi became the most high-profile guest in Aoki Village for a while.
But not many people can see him.
At night, when Zheng Azhuan walked into the courtyard, he saw Ning Yi peeling an apple next to the bed in Hongti's room. The scholar raised his head and nodded to him, and then he nodded as well, heading towards Liang Bingfu's room.
As the second owner of Qingmu Village, Zheng Azhuan only looks like an honest farmer, his martial arts are not high, and if he wants to talk about his ability to do things, he is only middle and upper, but he has been taking care of things for many years, and slowly, he has become a character in charge of Qingmu Village. Walking into the room, he reported to Liang Bingfu about various things that happened in Aoki Village. Due to the busy two days, the report was said intermittently for a long time. After finishing speaking, Liang Bingfu smiled.
"I heard. The stone was beaten. "Zheng Shishi, the captain of the Fifth Brigade of Qingmu Village, is the son of Zheng Ashu.
Zheng Ah said: "He did something wrong, and it is a good thing to be beaten." When he went home today, he also said that he couldn't help his dead brothers, and that some brothers could not die......"
Liang Bingfu smiled and shook his head: "No matter what, it's a good thing to win." ”
Zheng said: "It's a good thing that he came back safely." ”
"Hmm." Liang Bingfu nodded, thought for a while, and raised his head and said. "Brother Bolt. Let me ask you something, what do you think? ”
"Uh...... Brother Liang, what you said ......"
"Ahem, I mean. Liheng came to the mountains. Now the crisis has been resolved. He next. The first thing to meddle in is actually the matter in your hands, some mundane affairs in the village. Arrange for people to take care of things, open fields, and repair houses. Do you think it's not good for him to meddle like this, or maybe it's taking away your power......"
Generally speaking, it is impossible to say this kind of thing clearly, and it is for this reason that after Liang Bingfu said it, Zheng Ashuo's face changed, and he shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, what's the matter, where is my ability, I don't know it myself." Ning Gongzi is a very capable person, of course I don't think it's ......"
"Brother Ah Xuan, what I said is actually not really thinking about this." Seeing Zheng Ashuo's defense, Liang Bingfu smiled and waved his hand, and coughed twice, "The people outside are suddenly here, we don't want to do it in our hearts, sometimes the people below start from a small friction, and it is inevitable that there will be a little nail, some things are human nature, and they can't be avoided, of course, I also know Brother Ashuo's belly, you will definitely not stumble on him, but this matter, this alone can't do it, I think Brother Ashuo, you go in the other direction." ”
"Huh?"
Zheng Azhuan was a little puzzled, not understanding what the old man was talking about, Liang Bingfu took a sip of tea, thought about it for a while, and then continued to speak.
"Brother Bolt, what do you think...... Am I capable? ”
"Brother Liang, you have been here for so long, without you, Aoki Village is gone, of course you have the ability." Zheng Ah bolted.
Liang Bingfu shook his head: "You are mistaken, in fact, I, with medium qualifications, am not a very capable person, and I can last so long in Qingmu Village for the sake of responsibility." You also know that when I was young, I came from outside the mountains, and I tell you, there are too many people outside the mountains who have read books. Whether it is Liheng or Qin Siyuan, the prime minister above him, they are the most capable people. My days are number......ed."
"Brother Liang, you ......"
"No, no, no, listen to me, I know my time is running out. What about Aoki Village, after I leave, I will hand it over to Hongti, in fact, you are also helping to support it, we are on this dividing line, the future is not safe, no one knows what it will look like in the future. We feel like we're so powerful now that maybe one day when the rain blows, the wind blows, and it's gone...... Brother Ah Xuan, you and I, our children and grandchildren, have our own ability, and it is also the most important thing. While Liheng is here, you not only have to cooperate with him, but also let people learn from him......"
The old man swallowed his saliva and paused: "Ning Gongzi, he is not a person limited to one place in Luliang, you have to think more, as long as these people from your family and the girl learn a little bit from him, they will be useful in the future......"
When he said this, he thought about it again, Liang Bingfu was old after all, and sometimes, his thoughts couldn't keep up, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "The world outside, the people they come into contact with are all human spirits. I want the red grape to have a good life in the future, but who can say for sure, maybe one is not good, this Ning Gongzi, there is some accident...... So you, when you can learn, follow along more, after all, my ability is limited, I can't teach you much, what you can learn from Liheng, that's the future road of Aoki Village......"
The old people always want to leave their own fire, but they understand that their abilities are limited, and what the old people are thinking about so far is still the future path of Aoki Village. Zheng Azhuan nodded: "Brother Liang, I know what this means, don't worry." He and the old man are usually called by ordinary names, but at this time they still use "you".
The old man smiled: "Also, I heard that there are rumors about him in the village......"
"Well, because of Hongti's injury last night, now Ning Gongzi's reputation has spread."
"That's not enough, it's a good opportunity." The old man said, "Last night, because of the rumors about the master and apprentice that Sect Master Lin said, Hong Ti didn't want to get married......
Zheng Azhuan was stunned: "This ...... How......"
"So you go and talk about it to the outside as well. This Lin Sect Master not only ruined people's reputation, but also ruined people's marriage. Liheng has a big career outside, in order not to let this rumor affect him, Hongti doesn't want to get married, our Qingmu Village, after all, was slapped in the face...... You just go out and say so. ”
"What about the two of them...... Really ......"
The night is getting deeper, the Houshan barracks are still doing review, the houses in the valley, the lights are full of longing and joy, and the lights are still on in the small courtyard and the old man's room. In the mountains far away from Aoki Village, in some camps, some people came out and looked and said in the direction of Aoki Village, they could no longer see the lights of Aoki Village, but in that direction, it always made people feel that there was a huge force that had broken out of the shell, and in the future, I don't know what kind of force it would become.
Or will they become enemies or friends......
In the distance, a wolf howl was heard...... (To be continued......)
