The sudden burst of cheers in the tent alarmed the sentry on duty in the camp, and soon a small officer with two men came over to find out what was going on.

"What's going on? Who is making a loud noise here? ”

With this low and majestic question, the border soldiers who were still stomping their feet and shaking their arms loudly immediately fell silent. Looking at the officer on duty standing in the middle of the tent with an expressionless face, and then looking at the sentries holding spears at the door of the tent, everyone realized that this is a well-disciplined military camp, and it is a Mogan village with guns and spears like a forest of camps.

The officer on duty had a cold light in his small eyes, and he examined the officers and soldiers around him who were stiff and stiff like stone carvings and woodcarvings, and finally fell on Wen Mu. He held the waist knife in one hand, and behind the back of his hand with the other, he bowed his head slightly towards Wen Mu, and asked coldly, "Do you know who was making a loud noise just now?" ”

Wen Mu also regretted it very much at this time. You can't blame anyone else for this, if you want to blame him, he is the one who over-joked! With Shang Cheng's status in the minds of these people, he should never make such a joke! But now that the matter has come out, it's too late to say anything, and the most important thing is to find a way to make up for it and see if we can turn big things into small things...... He can't let these people eat military law because of one of his jokes!

He bowed his hand to the officer on duty, bowed slightly, lowered his head and explained: "I spoke carelessly......

"It's none of Captain Wen's business." Sun Zhongshan stepped forward and said to the chief on duty, "It's because I just got into the rank, and everyone is happy for me, and they forget for a moment that this is a violation of military orders in the barracks." This incident was caused by me, and as the commander of the school here, it was my lax orders that caused the soldiers to violate the ban. He said with a military salute with his arms crossed. Sun Fu behaved imprudently and did not govern the army strictly, and sincerely accepted military law. ”

Qian Laosan also reacted, and said anxiously in the side of the shop: "And me." What is the rest of the money dog...... "He still wanted to learn from Sun Zhongshan's military salute, and when he raised his arm, he found that he was naked, and he simply clenched his fists and bowed in a hurry," ...... I am also a sincere leader in the law. ”

The stone pierced his hands and feet and wanted to go over to excuse himself, but before he could take a step, he felt someone gently pull it on his trouser legs, and when he glanced down, Shang Cheng had already half sat up, shook his head at him slightly, and motioned him not to move. If everyone rushes up and the officer on duty mistakenly thinks that he is trying to threaten him with more people, then the matter will really be troublesome.

Nashi Chang leaned sideways, didn't accept Wen Mu and Qian Laosan's courtesy, and said lightly: "Congratulations to Captain Sun Jinxun." He said congratulations, but there was no "congratulations" on his face, and he continued after a pause, "But Captain Sun pay attention, this is a military camp, and it is a crime to kill your head with laughter and contempt for the ban!" The sharp eyes turned on several people, "I won't pursue it this time, and if there is another time, a few people will wait for the big blade of the red tassel in the firing squad." After speaking, he returned the salute to Sun Zhongshan, didn't even look at the others, walked out of the camp with his head held high, and led the two sentries who guarded the door.

It wasn't until the backs of a few soldiers on duty could no longer be seen that the stone that pressed on everyone's hearts really fell to the ground, and in a relieved exhalation, Zhao Shishi scolded angrily: "Captain Wen, we were almost killed by you!" You said that in addition to throwing away the food team to hug the thick legs, can you not do something good? ”

"Stone!" Sun Zhongshan scolded, "What did you say?" Shut your mouth if you can't speak! ”

Wen Mu smiled bitterly, didn't defend himself, walked to Shang Cheng and sat down, and asked, "Is the wound sharp?" ”

Shang Cheng pressed on his chest wrapped in raw steps, and said with a smile: "Small injury, it's okay, it should be almost the same after two days of rest." How are the injuries of the Great General and General Ran, do you know? That day, he went to rescue Sun Zhongshan and them, but he also fell into the siege of the Sudden Exhaustion Army, if it wasn't for Chen Pu and people desperately saving each other, most of them would have died in battle. That is, in order to rescue them, dozens of soldiers died, and even Chen Pu himself was hit by three arrows.

Wen Mu shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Shang Cheng asked in surprise, "You weren't with the generals?" He saw that Wen Mu's complexion was ruddy, and his green robe, shoes and hats were neatly dressed, and he thought that he was not locked up in a rest camp like himself and waiting to be interrogated and investigated.

Wen Mu smiled: "I was also 'released' yesterday. The Left Route Army was defeated, and the officers who ran back had to be inspected by the Commander-in-Chief. You know, I only arrived at the camp of the Left Route Army on the night of the accident, and the subsequent events were corroborated all the way, and the transcripts of several people were compared with each other, so naturally it was fine. As he spoke, he lowered his voice, "General Ran is in trouble." He was the military counselor of the Left Route Army, and he was involved in planning and decision-making in many things, and now he has been detained. ”

Shang Cheng was stunned, and immediately frowned and asked, "He'll be fine, right?" Although he felt that Ran Linde was not so competent as a military counselor, he still had a good impression of this person.

Wen Mu shook his head and said, "It's hard to say." He was held in solitary confinement, and I have never met him, except that the two articles he wrote about the Left Army war inspection were refuted by the camp. ”

Shang Chengba smacked his chapped lips, glanced at the corner where the jug was placed, and then turned his gaze to the stone who was looking for Baokan to ask for the gold bracelet, and said softly: "The stone speaks recklessly, don't go to your heart." I'll teach him a lesson for you. ”

"How so? I'm not a stingy person. Besides, it was really me who did something wrong......" Wen Mu said with his eyes lowered. Speaking of the fact that he had left his team behind him on the banks of the Alegu River, a wave of regret swelled up in his heart. He shouldn't have done that! Although the food team was fine, he betrayed Shang Cheng's trust after all, and ignored Shang Cheng's military orders, just to get ...... Alas! Until now, he can still see the suspicion in the eyes of Zhao Shiqian and the third child, and feel the alienation from their words, even Sun Zhongshan, who has a good relationship with him, has a more humble attitude towards him than close. Just like now, he specially came to give them the good news, and he originally had the intention of taking the opportunity to bridge the rift, but when these people saw him, they would rather suppress the joy in their hearts than come over to congratulate Shang Cheng, they actually told themselves that they didn't want to share this happy event with themselves...... He squinted his eyes at the grass at his feet, wanting to say a sincere apology to Shang Cheng, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open his mouth, and finally had to let out a long sigh.

Shang Cheng glanced at him and said with a smile: "Still thinking about that?" He slowly rubbed the itchy wound on his shoulder. To be honest, I'm a little angry. You are also a veteran, and it is impossible for you not to know the truth that soldiers and horses go first before moving food and grass. Of course, you also have your own difficulties, and you can't disobey the orders of those officers at that time, but you can't be flexible? For example, send someone to escort them and let them follow first? Of course, there is also my responsibility in this, I was negligent, when you put you in charge of the rear team, you should also make it clear to those officers, so that they can't mess with the command of the team. So in this matter, we both have faults, and when it comes to it, my faults are the first, and the mistakes are even greater. ”

Wen Mu couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, so he couldn't answer at all, so he could only barely squeeze out a bitter smile on his face.

"When I was in West Malaysia, I also did a lot of wrong things, some didn't understand the reason, some didn't understand the situation, at the beginning of the dismount, I pointed fingers at this and that, and ordered blindly to command, and the people below didn't dare to argue with me, so they let me mess around, but things didn't get done well, and a lot of money was spent." Shang Chengxiang remembered something ridiculous, pursed his lips and shook his head. Then I told them that there is no one in the world who knows everything, and there is no one who is proficient, and if I do not do it right, they should tell me bluntly, and if I insist on the wrong view, they should refuse to do what I command. Later, it was fine, I learned my lesson, I stopped talking nonsense, they also knew to refute the wrong views against me, and then the rest of the matter became more and more comfortable. He stopped, looked at Wen Mu with a biased face, and said sincerely, "So in the future, if you see me doing something wrong, you must tell me bluntly, don't bury my words in my heart because my rank is higher than yours, you tell me the truth, correct my mistakes, and you are my true friend." ”

Wen Mu heard it at this time, Shang Cheng crackled a lot, and the last sentence was the main point, one by one, Shang Cheng took all the faults!

A rush surged in his chest, his nose ached, and his eyes moistened......

He hurriedly lowered his head, pinching a few blades of grass in his hands, desperately trying to contain his agitated emotions.

After a long time, he regained his composure, raised his head with relief, and smiled at Shang Cheng: "Look, I also said that I came to give you good news." That's it, I heard a little wind in the camp in the morning, you are about to be promoted, and you will go to the Fourth Brigade of the Yanshan Left Army as a brigade commander. ”

Shang Chengleng froze. He had just slept in a daze, and was woken up by the noise in the tent, so he didn't know the news.

He immediately asked Wen Mu: "Really, fake?" Brother Zhaoyuan, you can't joke with me about this! ”

"I'm not a mother-in-law who likes to chew my tongue, how could I do such a thing." Wen Mu said a rare sentence that was not so elegant. "It's just news, I haven't seen the official official document yet, but the news should be reliable, I've seen the camp distribute the alternate list of each company, and your name is listed first. When we meet again, I'll call you 'Business Traveler.'" ”

Wen Mu is gone.

Shang Cheng smiled and accepted the advance congratulations from his friends and comrades-in-arms, and then kept lying on the ground with his eyes closed and thinking. This is the commander of the first brigade, and he can feel the weight of the burden on his shoulders.
