The commotion here, the soldiers who were resting twenty or thirty steps away could see it clearly, seeing a few people sitting in a circle, there was talking and laughing, and suddenly the three female guards jumped up and pulled their swords, and the bright blades pointed directly at Sun Zhongshan, Qian Laosan and others, and they didn't understand what was going on for a while, and sat with their mouths open like thunder. Waiting for Zhao Shishi's hideous face to shout like madness, Tian Xiaowu Suzha, the soldiers who had fought with him all the way, couldn't help but say anything, they all stood up with their weapons, all of them had cold faces, staring at Zhao Shishi's gestures, everyone made up their minds in their hearts, as long as the situation was slightly wrong, they were ready to kill and rob people. As soon as this group of soldiers stood up, the other soldiers couldn't hold it back, and several captains hurriedly shouted orders around the team to reprimand, dissuade, and comfort, but when they pressed this and that one popped up, the more people who stood up with knives and guns stopped more and more...... Seeing that things were about to make a big fuss, these team officers and even the captains were anxious and angry, and they were sweating and couldn't come up with an idea, but the originally menacing scene gradually quieted down, and turned his head to see that Shang Cheng, who was still asleep just now, had already woken up, and now he was sitting in the grass, holding a sweat coat in his hand, as if he was squinting his eyes in the sun, and scolding indiscriminately in his mouth: "Have you eaten it?" What's howling? Do you want me to sleep well? He seemed to have just woken up, looking around and then at his team with a confused face, as if he was a little unsure of where he was, and it took a long time to wipe his face with a sweat coat and shout: "Baokan! ”

"Here!" Bao Kan agreed.

Shang Cheng didn't seem to think about what was wrong with calling Bao Kan for a while, he stood up and patted off the dust and grass on his body, and then said, "Get some food and drink." I'm so hungry......" said and bent down to pick up his pocket, suddenly thought of something, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said to himself, "Today I am completely tired and dizzy, and I don't think of giving dry food to others, so I don't think of giving one to myself." I said that I dreamed of going to the restaurant, eating and drinking at the lake, and it turned out to be this! ”

"Yes!" Bao Kan hurriedly handed over his bag of dry food.

He looked like he had just woken up in a daze, his sleepy eyes were hazy and he opened his mouth to scold his mother, and then he wanted to eat and drink, and regretted that he didn't give himself dry food, and the two sentries wanted to laugh when they saw it, but they didn't dare to laugh, and they both looked around with their faces and eyes strained. Looking back, the swords on the general's side were also collected, Zhao Shishi didn't make a fuss, several officers surrounded the general, and they also looked at the captain with a smile, and the tense situation just now was obviously calm. Most of the soldiers are shallow-minded, and they can also break the sky when they are troubled, and they are happy to laugh and pull down, and when they see the matter in the past, naturally no one is interested in asking the truth, and they all listen to the commander's order to sit down and rest. It was just such a commotion, and the solemn and solemn atmosphere brought about by the general's presence and courtesy was swept away, and the habit of being a soldier who was not afraid of heaven and earth rose again.

Shang Cheng grabbed a piece of wheat cake in his hand and didn't eat it. Before talking to Sun Zhongshan about the aftermath, he nibbled on a few pieces of dry food and shouted that he was hungry, but he just took the opportunity to divert the attention of the soldiers, so that the situation would not become uncontrollable. In fact, he woke up before the quarrel between Shi and Wen Mu, and he vaguely heard the half-cut story of the gold medal on three sides in his daze, although he was also angry, but he knew that now was definitely not the time to fight for this, how to cover the team's smooth retreat to the south one by one was the top priority!

He put the wheat cake back, handed the bag of dry food to Bao Kan, and asked, "Have you come back from the two sets of outposts to the west?" ”

Bao Kan shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

Shang Cheng stared at the west, slowly buckled his shoulder armor, and whispered to Bao Kan, "...... Why don't you persuade the stones? You don't know his temperament, and he didn't admit it when he launched the ruthless Heavenly King! Besides, is it time to make a gold medal? What can it do if it's noisy? ”

Bao Kan's face turned a little red, and he said stupidly: "Didn't I get dizzy and forget about this?" ”

"Stone is impatient and short-tempered, let's persuade him more, this won't work, sooner or later, ......" Shang Cheng wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, stopped talking and sighed leisurely, buckled his pocket to his head, and walked towards Chen Zhuguo and them while tying the belt.

Chen Pu and the others sat in a circle and talked as they had just done before the dispute; It's just that her three guards all looked at the sheathed sword on their knees with tense faces, obviously wary of a few unfamiliar officers. Chen Pu saw that Shang Cheng was going to stand up and salute himself, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Captain Shang also sits." I'm not here for military affairs, I just want to come and see you, and I don't need so much courtesy. He said to Sun Zhongshan again, "Sun Whistle continued, and then? What did your daughter-in-law say to you? ”

Sun Zhongshan said: "She didn't say anything, just one sentence, 'I don't want you to be a big official, and I don't ask for any wife, as long as you are safe." ’…… I'm afraid this will make the general laugh. ”

Chen Pu lowered his eyes and didn't say a word for a long time. After a long time, she sighed and said faintly: "Your daughter-in-law is an understanding person, she is not wrong." No matter how prosperous and rich Zhong Dingyu is, it can't compare to the reunion and harmony of the family......"

Qian Laosan was impatient to listen to this, and kept taking a small silver knife next to him to pry a handful of gold, silver and gems on the scabbard, seeing Shang Cheng sit down, he reached out and touched the scimitar on the ground behind his back and handed it over, and whispered with a flattering smile: "My lord, I got you a good baby!" How about this knife? ”

Shang Cheng stretched out his hand to take it over, and he couldn't take his eyes off it at any glance One by one, the blade of this knife is more than three feet, and the blade is at least two feet seven or eight, from the tail tip to the tip of the knife is not a straight line, but slightly undulating, like a large "S" shape that extends out; The blade was bright and blue, and as far as the eye could see, there were circles of irregular water everywhere, like small ripples on the calm water on a sunny summer day. And what surprised him the most was that this was not the iron knife that the people of Tu Ji often used, it was actually a steel knife!

Several people next to him also stopped, and they all stared at this good knife that they knew was extraordinary at a glance.

Shang Cheng looked at the figure reflected on the blade and was amazed: "Good thing! He shook the handle and weighed it, then shook his head and exclaimed, "It's really a good thing!" "Because Chen Pu was present, he didn't try the knife, he tried the sharpness of his thumb against the cutting line, and he didn't turn his head to stretch out his hand towards Qian Laosanyi." What about the scabbard? ”

"Immediately, immediately, immediately give the sheath to the sheath. I'll take down these broken stones first. There are only two left......"

"! Where is the reason to send a knife without a sheath. Shang Cheng snatched the scabbard from Qian Laosan's hand, put the knife into the scabbard and put it on the ground, and said, "What are you doing so hard with a few broken stones?" One by one, if you are a rare stone, turn around and leave home, I will go to the river beach to plane a few carts for you, large and small, round and square, you can choose any kind of stone you want. ”

Qian Laosan cried and said to Shang Cheng: "My lord, it took a lot of effort for me to pay this thing, and I almost couldn't come back to see you; If I hadn't flashed fast, I might have split my head in half. He pointed to his eyes, "Look, my eyes are hurt." Now everything is blurry, and the tears fall off at the slightest hint of wind, one by one, are you rich? Give me a piece to cover my eyes first......"

Qian Laosan said so many words before to show how many dangers he encountered in order to seize this knife, and even almost taught people to cut off his head, everyone thought that he was going to discuss something good with Shang Cheng, but who knew that his last sentence was a twist and turn, and he just wanted to exchange this hard-to-buy treasure knife for an eye patch that was only worth a few pennies. What's more, he just injured his eyebrow bone, not to mention his eyes, not even a single wound on his eyelids, what did he want an eye patch for? Pretending to be blind blindfolded?

Chen Pu's suspicious gaze shifted from Qian Laosan's face to Shang Cheng's face, and then from Shang Cheng's face back to Qian Laosan's face, looking at Shang Cheng's black blindfold pressing his right eye, he already understood the strangeness in his heart, and suddenly lowered his head and smiled.

She smiled, and everyone understood. Bao Kan and they are with Qian Laosan all day long, and they are very familiar with each other, and they have the heart to say a few jokes with Qian Laosan, but all the playful and scolding that comes when they open their mouths on weekdays, there is not a word to say at this moment. Shang Cheng stroked the scabbard that had become pitted, only felt that his heart was hot, his mouth opened several times, but he couldn't say a word, and finally hugged Qian Laosan's shoulder, and sighed with great melancholy and infinite emotion.

Chen Pu stared at several officers closely. Although she didn't know the minds of the men and their emotions, she could feel that there was something very strange to her between these bloody men. It seems to be a brotherhood, but it is deeper than a brotherhood; It is like friendship between friends, but the word friendship is far from enough to describe its breadth and sincerity. She didn't even know what kind of emotion it was or what it was like. But she knew that it was there, it was right in front of her, it was between these men. It's like a bond that binds the five men together......

She stood up suddenly, as if she had made a lot of determination, and bowed deeply to Qian Laosan in front of everyone, and said apologetically: "Captain Qian, forgive me......," she couldn't go on. Although she didn't finish speaking, everyone understood what she meant, and she was apologizing to Qian Laosan for her laughter just now; And with her status and status, it is a rare thing to be able to say such things to a small officer like Qian Laosan in front of everyone, even if it is only half a sentence; The sincerity is even more incomprehensible......

Qian Laosan was taken aback by her actions, jumped up from the ground, and hurriedly turned sideways without standing firmly, not daring to accept her salute at all. He was frightened and moved, frowning and frowning, his black face was purple and red, he wanted to help her but didn't dare to stretch out his hand, if he didn't help, it would definitely be rude, and in the midst of surprise and hesitation, there was already a dense circle of oil sweat crawling on his forehead. Seeing that Chen Pu couldn't afford to bow deeply, he had no choice but to put on a posture of support, and said half-heartedly after learning Sun Zhongshan's words: "The dog dares to be a general's courtesy." General, don't do this! If you scare me again, I won't dare to sit and talk with you anymore......"

…… As the sun reached its peak, the western outpost brought back news that a troop of more than 2,000 men had finally begun to move south.

Zhao's brigade also began to retreat south at this point.

Before parting, Shang Cheng said to Wen Mu: "You tell the general to let her take off that red armor, it's too eye-catching." ”

He didn't say goodbye like Wen Mu, but held his friend's hand tightly with both hands.

"Take care!"
