Chapter 135: Suspicion
Just after everyone sat down, Lin Maolin picked up the wine glass, raised the wine glass to everyone, and said: "Today is a sincere invitation to come, there is no hospitality, this is a sign of respect, I hope you drink to the fullest, drink happily." ”
"Okay, come, I respect General Lin, thank you for General Lin's care." Wu Cheng stood up and said with a wine glass.
Shibasaki Sakurasawa also stood up and said, "This banquet is really grand. ”
The soldiers below also had some officers, and they saw a woman, to be precise, a woman dressed as a man sitting opposite them, which was more or less awkward for this group of soldiers who were five big and three thick, because in their world, women should stay at home, teach each other, be a good wife and mother, and spend their lives.
The already arrogant soldier stood up and said, "A woman dares to come to the army?" is still sitting in such a high position, isn't it laughed at by the world? ”
The two people around him also laughed, obviously, this group of people is a group of arrogant and frivolous people, funny and rude.
Before Lin Maolin could speak, Shibasaki Sakurasawa stood up and said, "May I ask who Your Excellency is?" Can I be ranked in the army? ”
I saw that the kid with a little arrogant mood said with a peaceful look: "I am the son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, who today does not know that my father has millions of money?" Who doesn't know me, thousands of miles of money? Who am I, you ask? You're not afraid of dropping your jaw, either. ”
Shibasaki Sakurasawa laughed and said, "Your father Qian Wanli? Okay, good, good, I heard that it's still in Chang'an, Chang'an has fallen, and you're still here to be happy, not going to save your father? ”
Qian Wanli pointed at him and said, "You don't have the right to talk about me, I only came to find General Lin, as for you, it doesn't matter." ”
Lin Maolin was also the first time to see such an arrogant and frivolous person, so he stood up and said, "What are you looking for me?" I didn't see you say it just now? ”
Qian Wanli heard Lin Maolin speak and said: "General Lin, I came to share the same hatred with you, I hope we will be warm together, unite and give Dongying people a heavy blow." ”
Lin Maolin asked, "Then why did you come to me?" Uncle Zhou Huang and they have already gone down to the south of the Yangtze River, why don't you go to Uncle Zhou Huang, but come to our Northern Expedition generals? ”
Qian Wanli pretended to be mysterious, and said: "General Lin, I'll live ..... with you alone" His voice was obviously lowered a lot, obviously there was an element of contrivedness in it, but before he finished speaking, he was stuck by an old man next to him, and said to Lin Maolin: "General Lin, I'm really embarrassed, the son's voice is free and easy, what offended you, the old slave apologized to you." ”
This person is the housekeeper of the Qian family, and he has been with the son of the Qian family for most of his life, Qian Wanli, he just went out for a while, and something like this happened once, which made him feel calm, and he obviously dared to be angry with this son, if it weren't for his loyalty, maybe he would have found another master now.
Shibasaki Sakurasawa said: "This is the son of a high-ranking official? is really a stupid son of the landlord's family, why only apologize to General Lin and not to me? ”
The old man glanced at Shibasaki Sakurasawa and said, "You are a junior, why are you so rude, General Lin is here, we are also the same generation as General Lin, of course it is natural to apologize to him, but it is too much to apologize to you, don't toast and don't eat and drink." ”
Shibasaki Sakurasawa laughed and said, "The Central Plains is really so rude, it seems that our occupation of the Central Plains is just around the corner." ”
Everyone stood up after hearing his words, if there were still weapons, they would definitely face each other, but this time, they could only look at each other, and then looked at Lin Maolin, wanting to ask what was going on, but no matter what they thought, Lin Maolin was still as plain as water, and there was no surprise on his face, and said: "I do know the arrival of Shibasaki Sakurazawa, but, as I said, this martial arts competition can be watched by all, no matter who it is, in the martial arts competition, the only bit of peacetime, I don't want to kill, That's why I received your weapons, sports is a kind of spirit, but also a kind of inheritance, a medium to promote peace, so, this time, we will drink and talk, only talk about family affairs, not talk about state affairs, I Lin Maolin has always been tolerant of people, today everyone is a guest, everyone has fun, have fun, what friends and enemies are floating clouds. ”
"But, General Lin, they killed so many of our compatriots, our siblings, our closest relatives, and asked me to be at the same table with them, I can't eat this mouthful!" An officer said.
Lin Maolin said: "Deal with things peacefully, I don't want to force you, it's just that today, it is divided, and the enemy's invasion is naturally reasonable. It's just that there is too much helplessness in this world, there are too many musts, if you don't do it, it is equivalent to death, and it is a humiliating death in their country, which is what everyone does not want to see, so it is not yourself who forces people to kill, but the regime, it is this era, it is ambition, unlimited ** driven, some people's hegemony has led to this war situation, we have no ability to change, we can only change ourselves, only hard work, progress, can change fate, save the country and save the people. ”
"But, General Lin, let's do it really well, in case we offend
Enemy, don't they think so? Aren't we going to miss the shot? Wu Cheng said.
Lin Maolin glanced at Shibasaki Sakurasawa, hoping that he could give an answer.
Shibasaki Sakurazawa stood up, full of spirit, and said, "Of course I won't do anything to you, besides, I'm a weak woman, how can I be able to beat you guys like five big and three rough?" I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? I went to the meeting alone, so I have no intention of going back alive, and I hope you will do it sooner, so as not to let your brothers laugh at your cowardice. ”
"Shibasaki Sakurazawa, you killed my wife and children, and today I will kill you for their blood hatred." I saw a soldier rushing forward, and just as he rushed up, Lin Maolin ordered the two soldiers next to him to stop him.
The man said angrily: "General Lin, you, are you planning to defect to the enemy and commit treason?" ”
Lin Maolin said firmly: "Defecting to the enemy and treason is not what I Lin Maolin did, I only have Da Zhou in my eyes, Da Zhou is my foundation, it is Da Zhou who raised me and cultivated me, my loyalty can be shown by the sun and the moon, and I am worthy of the world I have done for Da Zhou." ”
The first time Wu Cheng saw Lin Maolin so firm in his opinion, he hesitated a little, as if he felt something, as if he was in the bond, but he couldn't say it, just like a man's sixth sense, how could he express his true feelings.
Just when he hesitated, the soldiers behind him became furious, the hands holding the knife in their hands were trembling, they didn't know how to deal with it, this may be the answer Shibasaki Sakurasawa wanted, he wanted much more than that, in his heart, this time it was like an imperative, risking being surrounded, she was not a saint, she didn't have three heads and six arms, he only had one head, the same head as a normal person.
But when he came here, the people and horses thousands of miles away were already ready, and this time, he had nothing but a hole card that shook all the generals in the Central Plains. That's his only chance of survival.
"Don't quarrel, before you start, you listen to me finish speaking, as a minister, you should do your duty as a courtier, worthy of heaven and earth, superior to the grace of the country, down to the people of Li, I die alone, if you can exchange these promises of peace, I am willing to use my life as the price, if you want to kill Shibasaki Sakurazawa, kill me first, step on the corpse of your chief, I believe that not only me will die, but even more people will die."
After the soldiers listened to Lin Maolin's words, the weapon that was pulled out next to the scabbard in their hands was slowly retracted, they didn't believe General Lin, it's just that they couldn't help it, the brutality of the Dongying people, the killing of the Dongying people, buzzed in their minds all the time, countless suns and moons, countless reincarnations, and still couldn't erase the scars in their bones.
Shibasaki Sakurasawa walked up and said, "General Lin, you can't bear to kill me, then we will have a meeting later, and I believe that we will meet again in the near future." ”
Lin Maolin looked at him, however, Qian Wanli stood up and said, "General Lin, what about our cooperation?" ”
As soon as Qian Wanli's words came out, he was grabbed by the old man beside him and said, "General Lin is sorry, we will talk about it later, as for cooperation?" We'll be sure to talk about it again if we have the chance. ”
The other soldiers left one after another, Lin Maolin watched the party break up unhappily, the withering on the wine table, and everyone left at once, even the village girl he rescued, everyone didn't want to see him.
At this moment, Zhao Wei hid outside the door, walked in slowly, and comforted: "General Lin, don't be sad, they all left you, I won't leave you, is what you said true?" All men are created equal? There are no enemies in the world, they are all created by the general trend and the real situation? We rebel against big things and let those ambitious high-ups fall from power? ”
Lin Maolin glanced at Zhao Wei and said, "You're here?" I just said casually, don't take it seriously, today, Dongying people are still our number one enemy, pack up your things and go back to rest, the banquet is also unhappy, this is unpleasant.
Zhao Wei looked dazed, but at this moment, she is no longer the same as before, she used to live a life that is not as good as a pig and a dog, and she took her younger brother to make a living by picking up rags, it was not easy, a good omen, now, my younger brother is missing, General Lin is also hot and cold to himself, and a woman's sense of crisis will be accompanied by infinite potential as soon as she comes!
Back in the bedroom, the soldiers next to him didn't shout General Lin when they saw him, these are in his eyes, although they are nothing, but, as a general, if even his own soldiers don't respect themselves, then, this general must be a failure, and General Lin is an example of failure, frustration, helplessness, loss, melancholy, and other negative emotions are mixed, and the mixed tastes are the most heartbreaking.
In the middle, Lin Maolin went to the practice room, carried out some simple training, and then some brothers talked about their hearts, these people are some of Lin Maolin's best friends, the most trusted people in the army, but when General Lin came back again, it was already half of the night, in this night, all his cronies did not sleep, they were sorting out their clothes and weapons, everyone seemed very busy, one by one climbed up, when the brothers next to them asked them, they didn't say anything, just said in passing, see you in a few days, Then he left in a hurry, with the shoes under his feet and the table behind him
The paperwork, a note pressed under the copy, seemed so lonely in the night breeze.
"General Lin, we're ready, can we leave now?"
Lin Maolin looked at the soldiers beside him, they were all shining, high-spirited, heroic young men, Lin Maolin sighed with emotion: "We will set off when we are ready, but when we set off, I couldn't help but ask you, are you afraid?" This time may be a lifetime, a lifetime of never coming back, your relatives, your friends, and the brother who is still dozing off in bed, maybe this time is goodbye, have you ever been sad, have you ever been sad? ”
The soldiers looked behind them one by one, their eyes were full of reluctance, they couldn't give up their brothers, and there were many, many more that they couldn't let go, those were the things they cherished in this world, and they had to protect them even if they spent their whole lives.
A soldier slowly turned his head, his eyes were firm, and said: "General Lin, I don't regret it, the warmth of a small family can never compare to the unity of a big family, I swear to follow General Lin to the death." ”
"I also swear to follow General Lin to the death, as long as General Lin is here, as long as General Lin is in need, we will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot."
Lin Maolin looked at the firm gaze of one brother after another, the broad figure, his eyes were full of true feelings, filling his eyes, just like the brothers always believe in themselves, in such a big family, although they are not the strongest, but they are the most loyal guards, maintaining the unity and friendship of the family, helping friends, taking care of relatives, caring for comrades-in-arms, when they really stand up, will all the difficulties make way for them? If you don't get out of the way, you will kill a bloody road, and if you don't dodge, you will rush at him with a rain of swords and blood, and the blood is surging!
"Thank you, I will not treat you badly, our days are still long, the rest of our lives are like dreams, today there is love as a companion, long love, long time, what a way, how to do this, this life is enough, this life is enough!" Lin Maolin On this night, where there was no one around, the place where they gathered was flat, but under the mountain was the place where the war horses were scrubbing the horses' hooves, an open area, and in this night, they would burn their blood.
Lin Maolin said to the soldiers behind him: "You wait for me here, I'll go see someone, and I'll leave when I meet." ”
"Okay, we'll wait for General Lin to come back."
Lin Maolin crossed the jungle, or the same military uniform, the same general, three or two patrolling soldiers saw General Lin coming, the voice of greeting was no longer as enthusiastic as before, because at the banquet, Lin Maolin actually let go of Shibasaki Sakurazawa, in the eyes of the soldiers, if their General Lin did not have any bitterness, then it must be treason, Lin Maolin did not have to explain to them, and did not want to have a chance for them, so he came to Wucheng's camp alone, and said: "General Wucheng, can I go in?" ”
When Wu Cheng heard the voice, he knew that it was General Lin coming, so he went to greet him, and said, "How can General Lin have time to come to his subordinate's camp on a dark and windy night?" Is it that your little lover doesn't want you anymore, maybe you have some bad habits? ”
Lin Maolin was trembling by what he said, and hurriedly explained: "Look at what you said, what conspiracy can I have?" I don't like you, don't think too much, although it's a bit presumptuous here, but I also have to do it, please forgive General Wucheng, you may not see me after tonight, I don't want to talk so much nonsense with you, they are all big men, men don't flick when they have tears, and you don't want to see General Lin cry in front of you. ”
Wu Cheng laughed and said, "I don't know your careful thinking, but if you have anything, just say it, and I will definitely work hard to do it well." ”
Lin Maolin said: "It's not an order from a superior to a subordinate, but a support between friends." You have to promise me that after I leave, take care of the soldiers and people on the mountain for me, I don't want to see them live without dignity after I leave, they are all human beings! ”
Wu Cheng rubbed his eyes after listening to Lin Maolin's words, and said, "What's wrong with you?" Tell me what we might be able to do for you? ”
Lin Maolin smiled lightly and said, "No need, your mission is to take care of your friends on the mountain, and then just wait for me to come back." ”
"Then you be careful, Shibasaki Sakurazawa won't let you go, so it seems that you must have something unspeakable and unspeakable, I won't ask, you go, remember, you must come back alive, don't worry about the mountain, here I am, it will be fine." The sky is falling, and I will fight with my life at most. Wu Cheng's eyes lit up, it was particularly bright on this night, since Lin Maolin saw him, he was happy, although he was not very outstanding, but his heroism, his integrity, this is a comrade-in-arms worthy of being a brother, a brother worthy of being entrusted to the back.
The moon was submerged in the clouds, Lin Maolin had already led his brothers to ride on war horses, roaring away, there were too many forests behind him, the concern in his heart was locked and locked in his heart, and everyone's soul was firmly entangled by this big lock, inseparable and inseparable.
The major events in the world must be divided for a long time, and they must be divided for a long time.
Brotherhood will also be comparable to the sun and the moon in the world, sharing weal and woe, this is the power of brotherhood, revealing the moonlight, shining in the heart, an invisible force to light the way forward, illuminating the hearts of all people!
