"Drink!"

"Hey!"

"Be courageous, and don't forget who you are! You are the most powerful elite guard battalion under the general's command! You should be proud to be part of this army! Aim, stab! ”

In the camp outside Yong'an City, Wu Zhenying was training two thousand newly recruited recruits. Saying that it is a recruit is actually not a recruit in the strict sense, because these soldiers are all selected from the auxiliary soldiers of the Jizhou Army and Xu Hui, and they all have experience in on-the-spot combat, and what is lacking is more systematic training.

Xu Wenjing looked at the sergeants training in the barracks, but he was thinking about the next strategy in his heart.

"Judging from the current situation, the situation in the Far East is already precarious, if it is not handled properly, it will be a great obstacle to the strategy of our Jingwei battalion to attack the entire Jizhou and the outside of the Saiwai, we have to find a way to delay the time of the turmoil in Youzhou and Dingzhou, and it is best to delay it for three or five years and wait for the general to completely control Jizhou."

Xu Wenjing quickly began to turn his brain to prepare the layout, trying to come up with a reasonable plan in the shortest possible time to calm down the turmoil for the time being.

"I've never seen a military advisor ......"

Just as Xu Wenjing was racking his brains to think about how to bridge the rebellion, he suddenly remembered an unusually young voice behind him, which caught him off guard.

"You are?" Xu Wenjing turned around and looked at the thin young man in front of him, holding a string of clear jade Buddha beads, wearing a white cloak, and hiding his face in the canopy, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

The young man slowly removed his hood, revealing an extremely young and gentle face, which looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

But seeing that the young man was elegant, he saluted slightly: "No, Ye Yin, I have come to Yong'an on the order of Mr. Qin to assist the general and the military advisor in assisting the military affairs ......."

"What!" Xu Wenjing's pupils shrank suddenly, "You are Ye Yin, the young prodigy of the Ye family who single-handedly quelled the rebellion in Dingzhou, Ye Wenxuan?"

Ye Yin did not show any emotional fluctuations in Xu Wenjing's words, but said humbly: "The military advisor has won the award, the so-called prodigy, but the world is exaggerating, not just an ordinary scholar, Mr. Meng Qin and his brother (Ye Bin) introduced, only to have the opportunity to do their part for the general and the people, and in the future, I will ask the military advisor to point out the shortcomings of the incompetence." ”

Xu Wenjing looked at the young man in front of him who was neither humble nor arrogant, and his conversation and demeanor were magnified, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "I didn't expect it, Ye Bin's ability is really not to be underestimated, and he can actually pull Ye Wenxuan to the camp of the Jingwei Battalion, it seems that the Ye family is also standing by the general's side with an iron heart,

At the age of eleven, Ye Yin was able to annihilate 3,000 rebels with 39 Ye family guards, and in the same year, he dared to go to Liuzhou alone to persuade 30,000 volunteers to surrender and avoid a military fight.

This ability is absolutely terrifying, it stands to reason that he should inherit the position of the next head of the Ye family and focus on cultivation, and now Qin Mo actually sent him to my side, this ...... I have to think about how to get along with him, this son must not be treated as an ordinary person......"

"The military advisor doesn't have to worry...... Ye Yin seemed to see through Xu Wenjing's thoughts, and then gave another salute, and said quietly, "No, it's just to assist the military advisor in managing the military defense and border affairs to share your worries, and by the way, I want to learn the way of military strategy with you, Jizhou has today's situation, and the military advisor has made great contributions, so I don't respect you very much, and please don't hesitate to teach you......"

Xu Wenjing nodded, and said to Ye Yin: "It's all taught by the general, okay, since it is entrusted by Mr. Qin, and you and I are both under the command of the general, I have the obligation to take you to familiarize yourself with the affairs of the army, please come with me." ”

Ye Yin bowed his head slightly and said, "I'm tired of the military division, I'm not grateful, please ......"

……

On the third day of June, in the evening, it rained.

Liu Ce sat in the private room on the second floor of a restaurant in the inner city of Yuanzhou, looking at the drizzle outside the window, taking a sip of the wine on the table from time to time, and there was no joy, anger or sorrow on his face.

In the corner of the oblique side opposite the round table, Jiang Ruoyan sat silently, observing Liu Ce carefully, but fortunately, Liu Ce did not stop her after discovering her, so that they could come to the private room of this restaurant to taste wine and enjoy the rain, but she could clearly feel that Liu Ce was borrowing wine to kill her sorrows.

Since she met Liu Ce, except for the scene last night, she has never really gotten along with him alone, and now she finally has the opportunity to get to know him in more detail.

Seeing that the wine glass in front of Liu Ce's table was empty, she poured him half a glass in time.

After a long time, Liu Ce finally spoke: "Miss Jiang, thank you for your great help, I am grateful." ”

Jiang Ruoyan said with a smile: "Liu Ce, don't mention the word thank you, it's too outward, Ruoyan sincerely wants to help you, these things outside the body are really not enough compared to what you have paid so much for the people of the Far East......

Liu Ce didn't respond when he heard this, he took the wine glass and drank it all again, and Jiang Ruoyan poured him half a glass again at the right time.

"Liu Ce, last night, I'm sorry, I scared you......" Finally, Jiang Ruoyan still mustered up the courage to explain last night, "You don't think Ruoyan is a frivolous person, right......?"

"Miss Jiang, don't get me wrong, I've never thought about it like this." Liu Ce shook his head and said, "Please don't worry about this matter, it's just that I really have something on my mind, which disappoints Miss." ”

"It's good that you don't think so......" Jiang Ruoyan exhaled and continued, "Liu Ce, can you tell me where you've been these days?" Why, why do you look ......"

Liu Ce didn't speak, picked up the wine glass and drank another glass, Jiang Ruoyan filled him with another glass, and then said: "Of course, if you don't say it, just be abrupt, you don't have to reply to Ruoyan's ......"

"Alas......" Liu Ce sighed, looked at the drizzle outside the window, and then said, "Actually, it doesn't hurt to say that Miss knows, a lot of things have happened in the past two months, and I went to the outside ......."

"Saiwai ......" Jiang Ruoyan's beautiful eyes widened, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "You, why did you go to such a dangerous place?"

Liu Ce wrapped his arms around his chest, slowly got up and came to the window, and said with a yearning face: "It's hard to say, I have witnessed everything outside the plug, the blue sky, white clouds and green land, the beautiful scenery like poetry, the herds of cattle and sheep, the galloping of thousands of horses, and the indescribable boldness and comfort.

Under the silent night sky, you can see the Milky Way flowing, and you can also drink a bowl of fragrant crisp tea in a cowhide felt bag and feel the majestic atmosphere of the rainstorm on the grassland......"

Jiang Ruoyan listened to Liu Ce's words in a daze, as if he was in a paradise, and subverted Jiang Ruoyan's long-standing cognition from his words. She had always thought that the outside of the Seychelles was a bitter cold place, and she didn't want it to be very different from what she thought.

"Of course......" Suddenly Liu Ce's words changed, "There are countless evils, the people are slaves and maids, it is better to live than to die, Hu Nu is barbaric, ignorant and cruel, but I can't do anything about it......"

Speaking of this, Liu Ce returned to the table and took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then picked up the wine bottle and drank it with a painful neck.

"Liu Ce, you can't drink anymore......" Jiang Ruoyan hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the wine jug from his hand, "If you drink like this again, you will get drunk......"

"It's better ......to be drunk," Liu Ce's expression suddenly became extremely lonely, "If you're drunk, you don't have to have so many worries, and when you're drunk, you don't have to think about everything you see......" After speaking, Liu Ce picked up the wine jug again and poured it into his mouth.

"Liu Ce, you really can't drink anymore......" Jiang Ruoyan desperately snatched the wine jug from his hand, "Your body will collapse if you drink it like this, what are you worried about telling Ruoyan, I'm listening, it will be better to say it......"

Liu Ce sat back in his seat weakly, his eyes were a little moist, he raised a palm in front of his eyes and said, "Do you know? What did I do in the grasslands? When the people of the Middle Atom knelt on the ground and cried and begged me to take them away, I did nothing and left them all in that hell of sin to continue to suffer endless humiliation and torture.

A girl took my hand and cried out to me to take her, but I deceived her with lies and gave her a vague hope.

There was a doctor who saved my life, but he died of illness on the way back to Kannai, right in front of me, do you know that feeling?

The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers have shed blood outside Cyprus because of my decision, they are still very young, all of them are gone, what kind of blow will their families suffer if they lose their relatives?

This time I went to Saiwai, and I didn't save anyone, not a single one! And a lot of innocent people died for me!

I thought I was capable of saving living beings and becoming a savior, but in reality I couldn't do anything, and the trip to the outside world was a bleak journey of death!

I can only watch the fresh lives disappear before my eyes but I can't do anything, why didn't I die? Why? Why! ”

The emotions that had been suppressed for many days finally broke out at this moment, and Liu Ce whispered softly before snatching the wine jug and pouring it into his mouth again.

"Liu Ce, don't be like this, you can't drink anymore, give me the wine jug......" Jiang Ruoyan took the wine jug again, "It's not your fault Liu Ce, you've done your best, you've really done your best, you've endured too much alone......"

"Miss Jiang, you don't have to comfort me......" Liu Ce's eyes were a little sluggish because of the effect of alcohol, and his cheeks became red, "I, Liu Ce, have killed so many soldiers, and I can't save even one Chinese citizen back to the customs, what does this mean?" It means that I am just a self-righteous madman, more than 10,000 soldiers, and it has disappeared in just two months......"

Jiang Ruoyan realized that Liu Ce's pressure was much heavier than she thought, if she had to bear this, she would definitely be crazy now, and now she finally understood why Liu Ce's temperament had changed so much these days.

Behind Liu Ce's resolute appearance, what kind of burden he bears, he has been suffering silently for many years, rarely telling anyone, Jiang Ruoyan suddenly felt a burst of pity in his heart.

"Liu Ce, listen to me......" Jiang Ruoyan grabbed his shoulder tightly, "It's not your fault alone, you have been working hard to change all this, Ruoyan knows that you have a lot of suffering in your heart, and you also know that many people can't understand you, but Ruoyan will always stand by your side and support you, do you believe Ruoyan is okay?" You're going to make it......"

Liu Ce looked at Jiang Ruoyan's peerless face in front of him with drunken eyes, and nodded slowly: "Don't worry, I will definitely go back to Saiwai again, I must kill all those beasts without leaving a single mouth alive, before that, I will not fall......"

After speaking, Liu Ce slowly fell to the edge of the table, unconscious, and at this moment, he was finally drunk, or tired......

"Liu Ce, Liu Ce, wake up, don't sleep here, you'll catch a cold, Wan'er! Come in and help! ”

Seeing that Liu Ce was unconscious, Jiang Ruoyan hurriedly called Wan'er, who was waiting at the door, in, and the two of them helped him to walk towards the carriage on the first floor.

Fortunately, Liu Ce still has the last instinct in his subconscious, and he can take the initiative to move his steps in the midst of support, otherwise he will definitely not be able to take him with these two women who look weak.
