Chapter 42 Cleaning up the Old Mountains and Rivers
The lynx is gone, leaving behind a word that I don't know if it's true or not.
Inside the tent, everyone was sitting, including Luo Bai.
The atmosphere was solemn, and no one spoke.
Luo Bai was still a little afraid, but more angry: if he really had anything to do with the Luo family, it would be fine, but there was no penny relationship between them, why did all the rights and wrongs of the Luo family have to be counted on his head?
His surname is Luo, but he is not Luo of the Luo family!
At this moment, he really wants to scold: Fuck your uncle!
This silence didn't last long, and Yuan Wushu spoke.
But he didn't talk about the Huo family or the lynx, but talked about Xing Taixuan.
"What's going on with Xingtaixuan?"
Luo Bai's heart moved, and he told the story of last night.
"That's probably ...... it"
Yuan Wudi asked: "Is it really Xing Taixuan?" ”
Luo Bai finally realized that something was wrong, and said uncertainly: "That's what the lynx really called him. ”
Yuan Wudi sighed: "I didn't expect that after so many years, they still went down the mountain. ”
Down?
Luo Bai's heart moved, thinking of what Tu Shuangdao told him, the remnants of the sect back then were all confined in Yuming Mountain.
Could it be that those people have come down the mountain?
Luo Bai was still thinking nonsense, but Yuan Wushu looked at him with his eyes flickering.
In the middle of the ring, Yuan Wushu stood up and walked out: "You should be careful in the future." After all, your surname is Luo ......"
Your last name is Luo?
Last name Luo?
Lo!
Yes, my surname is Luo!
But is the person surnamed Luo doomed to die?
If you don't die, where is it safe?
This is already a well-defended champion camp, if even this place is not safe, what other place in the world is safe?
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally waved the short knife in his hand, only to hear a "stab" sound, and the tent was broken.
The whirring cold wind poured in and woke him up.
"What kind of wind are you smoking?"
Tu Shuangdao slapped Luo Bai on the shoulder and pushed him out.
Outside the tent, there was a drizzle, cold to the marrow.
Luo Bai stretched out his hand, wanting to take a little. But the raindrops were too subtle, more like fog.
"What's the fuss? Packed up. ”
Mu Yichu's voice summoned his soul back, and he turned back to find that the others were ready to go.
Is this leaving?
He immediately became anxious.
"Just get out? Will it be dangerous? ”
"If you are afraid of death, you will die, and if you are not afraid of death, you will not die. No one told you this? ”
Luo Bai opened his mouth, but he said everything.
He handed the short knife to Tu Shuangdao, but Tu Shuangdao did not answer, and said solemnly: "As a warrior, how can you be without a weapon?" Before you complete the bet with the general, this knife will be lent to you for self-defense. ”
Luo Bai looked at the pig-killing knife in his hand, which was more than a foot long, and was speechless: Just this thing, not to mention that the lynx star is too mysterious, even the dead soldiers who were attacked twice can't stop it, what's the use?
Leaving the champion camp for the second time, Luo Bai was not happy at all, but worried.
Out of the champion camp, they were dressed in civilian clothes and brought only the necessary food and water with them. As for pots and pans, they are already one step ahead with the big army.
No one sent them, and they don't need someone to send them.
Sixteen horses sat fifteen warriors and a growing little child, the horses galloped, as if they were in the mood of the blood, and disappeared into the dense forest of Qinshan in the blink of an eye.
The way down the mountain is always fast, Mu Yichu and the others are talking and laughing, only Luo Bai is full of worries and frowns.
Mu Yichu and the others naturally knew why, but no one persuaded them.
There are some things that you have to get through on your own. If everyone does not resist in the face of a certain death, wouldn't there be too many possibilities and excitement in this world?
When passing by the fork in the road leading to Luojia Village, two figures stood there, as if waiting for them.
The village chief Luo Xian, the butcher Luo knife.
Beside him, there was a table with a jar of wine and six bowls on it.
Seeing this, they immediately stopped.
After all, the experience of the last mission is still vivid, and none of these people dare to slack off.
They turned over and dismounted, and were the first to salute.
Luo nodded first, and then looked at Luo Bai: "You are half an hour late......"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned: "Why are you absent-minded?" ”
Luo Bai had the heart to say, but he didn't know how to speak.
Although Mu Yichu and the others knew why he was like this, they didn't open their mouths to explain.
At the fork in the road, the late autumn wind is howling, and the occasional fallen leaves are blowing and flying away.
Luo Bai couldn't feel the cold, maybe he was numb from fear.
Luo Xian didn't ask any more questions, and even took his eyes off Luo Bai and looked at Mu Yichu.
"I know you're ......"
This was the second sentence he said, but it surprised Mu Yichu.
"When I saw you, I knew that the archery battalion had been pretty good in the past few years, and the Duan family kid had lived up to my expectations."
Mu Yichu's face suddenly changed greatly, because the "Duan family boy" that Luo Xian said was the current major general of the archery cavalry battalion, Duan Wuya.
"Where the iron horse passes, the world is endless"!
This is the peerless praise that Duan Wuya received during his time in commanding the archery battalion.
It is for this reason that Duan Wuya is also known as the tenth general of the Xia Dynasty - General Wuya!
"Senior, you are ......"
Luo Xian didn't speak, Luo Yidao had already poured the wine, and handed the five wine bowls to Mu Yichu and the other five.
The last one, handed to Luo Xian.
"I don't know when you will come back. Strong men defend the country, and the battlefield is the destination. I am too old to go into battle with you to kill the enemy, so I can only prepare a thin wine for you and give you a strong journey! ”
That's why Luo Xian is standing here at this moment.
Mu Yichu also understood that this wine was used for Zhuangxing.
"In ancient times, Prince Yan toasted the hero Jing Ke on the bank of the Yishui River, and it was for his Yan family. But today, on the banks of Qinshan and Qinshui, I should do a great deed for you warriors who shed their blood for the country and the country, which is for the country and the people. ”
"Please!"
Mu Yichu's expression was solemn, when it came to the country and the world, they, the soldiers who went into battle to kill the enemy, naturally deserved this bowl of wine.
"Defend the country and be loyal to the monarch, we should not give in!"
After a bowl of wine, the cold wind in November seems to be a little warmer.
Mu Yichu wiped his mouth and handed the wine bowl to Luo Yidao.
Luo took it with a knife and continued to pour them wine.
"The national crisis can be said to have reached the point of covering the nest and endangering the eggs. I hope that you can carry it. Carrying the past, not only will there be hope for the imperial court, but also for the army of the four expeditions. ”
The next five people didn't speak, and drank down.
The third time I poured wine, there was a double knife for slaughtering.
When Luo handed over the wine bowl with a knife, everyone else took it with both hands, but he was the only one who snorted coldly and took the wine bowl with one hand, seemingly reluctantly.
However, Luo Yidao was laughing the whole time, not angry.
After drinking two bowls of wine, Luo Xian's face already had a hint of blush and a hint of a smile: "Seeing that there are still powerful masters like you in the imperial court, this makes me believe even more, how can the Great Xia Dynasty only exist for a short period of thirty years?" I am here, I wish you all a victorious start and a prosperous summer! ”
The five of them glanced at each other, and there was a trace of doubt in their eyes: Victory? Are you talking about autumn luck?
But they didn't ask, and they drank it.
The fifteen members of the Firehead Army drank it all once, and only one Luo Bai remained.
He noticed Losson when the horses stopped, but he couldn't say anything.
A Luo said that the people of Luojia Village couldn't see him suffering, so they sent him to the champion camp. Now he cries to the people of Luojia Village when he encounters something, and he can't open his mouth.
When Luo Xian toasted fifteen people, but forgot about him, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart: Could it be that now he is not a soldier who defends his family and country?
Luo Xian really didn't look at him, three bowls of wine were in his stomach, and the pride was already in his chest.
He shook the wine jar on the table, and there was still a "whoosh" in it, and there was still a lot of wine.
He suddenly laughed and said: "This is the wine that Emperor Taizu rewarded the general back then, it seems to be called Immortal Brew, and it was brewed by the wine fairy Muzi of Yuxian Fang. The general gave me an altar. I will drink half of it for you today, and when you return from victory, I will personally pour wine for you in Luojia Village to celebrate! ”
Mu Yichu clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Senior, you don't need to pour wine for us personally, I just hope that when we return, you can witness our scars all over our bodies, but there is one on our back!" ”
Luo Xian suddenly laughed wildly and roared; "Great!"
Mu Yichu didn't talk nonsense, with a wave of his hand, everyone turned around and prepared to get on the horse and leave, but Luo Bai spoke.
"Senior, I haven't drunk this wine yet!"
Everyone stopped, looking at Luo Bai, who had already walked in front of Luo Xian, not knowing what he was going to do.
The smile on Luo Xian's face retracted, and he looked at him coldly: "Before you came here, I asked you to kneel at the door and didn't give you a bite to eat and drink, thinking that you understood, it seems that I look down on you." ”
"One sword, let's go!"
Luo Yidao really picked up the table and followed Luo to leave first.
Luo Bai stood in place, really not understanding what Luo Xian meant.
His mind raced, remembering everything that had happened in the courtyard of Luo Xian that day, thinking of the many veterans who had stripped off their shirts to reveal their scarred chests, and he seemed to understand something.
"Senpai!"
Looking at Luo Xian, who was already three zhang away, he yelled and slowly took off his green clothes.
On the chest, shoulders, and under the ribs, there are already obvious scars, and they have just healed!
"It's only been a month since I left Luojia Village, and I've already been closed in the Ghost Gate twice! If I wasn't qualified to drink this bowl of wine before, then I'm not qualified now? ”
His voice was passionate, even with a hint of sadness.
Luo stopped first, but didn't turn around.
"Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat, and a few more scars on their bodies don't prove anything. My wine and meat are only for the wolves. It's a pity, you're a dog! ”
I'm a dog?
That is, I only deserve to eat?
Luo Bai was surprised at first, and then laughed: "Grandpa the village chief, even if it's a dog you've raised for eight years, you should have feelings for it, right?" ”
Mu Yichu frowned and said, "Xiaobai, how can you speak!" ”
Luo Bai didn't answer, but he didn't continue.
Luo Xian stopped and didn't look back, but his tone was unusually cold: "So, you admit that you are a dog that eats, not a wolf that eats meat?" ”
Luo Bai snorted coldly and did not reply.
Luo Xian finally turned around and looked at him coldly: "This wine was rewarded by the great general when he was recalled by Emperor Taizu. 'The north is full of wind and snow, and the south is empty. Who cleans up the old mountains and rivers? Eighteen teenagers try to bend the bow. 'A man with such a great general and a man of great martial arts, how can his wine be drunk by a stinky boy like you? ”
Luo Bai was gloomy, and said in a deep voice: "What if I have to drink?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly stagnated.
Mu Yichu said even more angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Get back! ”
Luo Bai stubbornly stood still, looking at Luo Xian with burning eyes.
"Why, don't you dare to say it?"
Luo Xian kept looking at him, until Luo Bai's heart was furious, and he involuntarily took a step back, and then he smiled and said, "I just found out today that you are not stupid, but stupid, and you have no brains at all." Such a person is not worthy of the general's wine. ”
After a sarcasm that was not sarcasm, Luo turned to leave. Luo Bai subconsciously wanted to catch up and ask what was going on, but was stopped by Mu Yichu.
Luo Bai shook his arm, but instead of breaking free of Mu Yichu's hand, he threw it away and kicked him down.
"The seniors said you were stupid, and I think there is no cure. The general followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the south and the north, and finally pacified the world, which is to clean up the old mountains and rivers. How can you drink this bowl of wine? ”
