Chapter 49: The Truth
"Don't drink it, you've already drunk a lot!" Ren Shuai pressed Du Bing's wrist, and the two of them were drinking sullen wine in the only all-weather bar in Liancheng, Gongsun Bar.
"Leave me alone!" Du Bing sighed lightly, stretched out his right hand and grabbed Ren Shuai's hand, and then slowly broke it open: "What else can I do now besides drinking?" ”
"There's a lot more we have to do!" Ren Shuai sincerely comforted: "At least we have to protect His Highness and keep her safe... ”
"Protect Your Highness?!" Du Bing laughed a few times, and then patted Ren Shuai's shoulder: "There is the hard work of the commander, and there is the hard work of General Wang Rui, where can a little person like Du Bing get involved?" Stop talking about all that gossip, come, drink, drink! After speaking, Du Bing tilted his neck and poured another cup.
"I can't drink anymore, I'm going to be on duty tonight." Ren Shuai shook his head: "Du Bing, let's go back together after drinking this cup, otherwise... You left the camp without permission to let the commander know, and you can't afford to blame it! ”
"Sooner or later, I'll be blamed by Lord Commander, so what's the difference between a day earlier and a day later?" Du Bing poured another glass of wine: "Come, don't talk about tomorrow today, drink, drink!" ”
Ren Shuai stared at Du Bing for a while, and stood up with a wry smile: "You drink first, I'll go to His Highness to ask for a leave of absence for you, in case the Lord Commander blames you, there is still an excuse." ”
Du Bing smiled: "Thank you." He said as he poured wine into his glass.
Ren Shuai saw that Du Bing didn't listen to persuasion at all, so he had no choice but to leave the bar.
Just as Du Bing raised his glass again and drank it all, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "General Du is drinking here just to get drunk?" ”
Du Bing slowly turned his head and saw a young man in a white robe looking at him with a smile, Du Bing's face turned cold: "What's the matter with you?!" ”
As if he hadn't heard Du Bing's words, He Zicheng walked to Du Bing's side with a smile, sat down in the position where Ren Shuai was sitting just now, and then gently knocked on Du Bing's wine glass: "I admit, wine is a good thing!" However, it depends on how you drink it, and it depends on who drinks it! When a strong man drinks alcohol, he is naturally fierce when he is happy, while a coward's drinking seems to have no other use except to consume his own mind. ”
Du Bing looked at He Zicheng coldly: "I know you, you are He Jiongming's son." ”
He Zicheng also took a wine glass and poured wine: "I didn't expect General Du to notice me, is this our fate?" ”
"You drink your wine, I drink mine! Whether I, Du Bing, am a strong man or a coward, it has nothing to do with you! Facing He Zicheng, who always smiled, Du Bing's face was still very cold, but his tone slowed down a lot, and he no longer hurt people.
"General Du, you seem to be a little prejudiced against me! Why turn people away thousands of miles away? Sometimes a word can change a person's life, not only yours, but also mine. He Zicheng said slowly while playing with the wine glass.
The corners of Du Bing's mouth showed a playful smile: "What do you want to say?" ”
"General Du seems to be having a very unsatisfactory life now, and the money is not leaving... He Zicheng's words stopped abruptly, because Du Bing's hand had already touched the hilt of the sword.
"You remember, the Lord Commander is as kind to me as a mountain! Don't speak ill of adults in front of me. Du Bing said word by word with murderous intent: "Otherwise... ”
"Okay, okay, I bear the kindness of Commander Qian to General Du!" He Zicheng bit the word 'mountain' very hard: "But it seems that this mountain is too heavy for General Du, so that General Du does not return to the barracks late at night and buys drunk alone in the restaurant!" ”
Du Bing's face froze, he stood up angrily, snorted coldly, and then turned around and walked outside the restaurant.
"Did my words hurt General Du? Then I can apologize, but I really don't understand, why can't General Du have a good talk with me? He Zicheng was not in a hurry to stop Du Bing, and was still playing with the wine glass in his hand.
Du Bing's footsteps paused, leaned down to He Zicheng's ear and said coldly: "I can talk to anyone, but I won't talk nonsense with those who collude with foreign enemies for their own selfishness." I am a soldier, and in my eyes those who only know their own interests and do not care about the overall situation of the country are beasts! ”
He Zicheng's face finally changed, but he immediately returned to calm: "General Du, please stay!" After saying that, He Zicheng waved his hand, and seven or eight guests who were hiding in the corner to drink suddenly stood up, and unceremoniously drove the rest out of the bar, and finally even the bartender and the barmaid drove away, and they were divided into two teams, one team guarded the door, and the other team guarded the back door.
Du Bing's hand was on the hilt of the sword, and the killing intent was steaming: "What? You want to rely on them to keep me? ”
"No, I want to use my sincerity to keep General Du!" He Zicheng looked at Du Bing calmly: "I have no malicious intent, not to mention that I am sitting here now, if there is any accident, you can kill me first." He Zicheng originally just wanted to test it this time, but in his observations and words, he deeply felt the pain and pressure that Du Bing was subjected to, and he admired Du Bing's proud demeanor, how could such a talent not be wooed? So He Zicheng decided to talk about it.
"Sincerely?" Du Bing laughed a few times: "Okay, then please show your sincerity and let me see Du Bing!" ”
"Now that I've said that, I can't hide anything more." He Zicheng looked left and right, and his face became extremely solemn: "There are some things we know, and you know, so I won't repeat them, but... He Zicheng dipped his fingers in some wine and drew on the table: "This is Liancheng Fortress, this is Jiazhi Pass, everyone in the world thinks that the Fengyun Legion led by General Wei Chi is stationed in Hongzhou, but in fact, the Fengyun Legion is now stationed here!" After speaking, He Zicheng swiped it with his finger, and then clicked a little.
Du Bing gasped, measured the distance, and suddenly raised his head: "Qinglongling?!" ”
"Not bad." He Zicheng nodded: "Who doesn't know that Zamuhe is a tiger wolf?" Do you think we're going to work with them from the bottom of our hearts? The stigma of traitors is not something we can afford. ”
