When night fell, Xue Shao and the others washed up and prepared to sleep.

A large tent with several sleeping couches in it. Xue Shao slept alone on one side, while Guo An and Wu Ming sandwiched Fu Nian's sleeping couch in the middle and guarded it closely. In addition, there are two long bunks, which are slept by Xue Shao's twenty guards of the Three Swords Brigade. With these people in charge of guarding inside and outside the tent, it is difficult to play any tricks even if Fu Nian is the ability to pass through the sky.

After Fu Nianzhi returned from the cemetery of the Etun Special Service, he had been lying on his couch in silence, motionless and silent, like a dead man.

Xue Shao took a book and flipped a few pages at random, glanced at Fu Nian, and said, "You don't fantasize in your heart, when you get to Yudu Jinshan, you will unite those chiefs to fight me together, right?" ”

Fu Nian was still lying still, and said lightly: "My son and my nephew are still in Shuozhou." The princess is also in your hands. ”

"A few hostages are worth mentioning to a tyrant like you." Xue Shao deliberately knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger to dispel the last trace of fantasy in his heart.

Fu Nian remained silent, "General Xue, you are too suspicious." ”

"Whoever uses a soldier is not suspicious." Xue Shao smiled disappreciatively and said, "Actually, in my eyes, Ashdwin Fu has always been just a clown. No matter how powerful he is, he will only make a small fight after all, and he will not be able to become the climate. It's you who really worries me. ”

"General Xue has been promoted, I, the general of the defeated army, how can I do it." Fu Nian seems to be absent-minded.

"Small victories rely on wisdom, and big victories rely on virtue. I once came to teach my love Ji Yuenu this sentence, and it seems appropriate to use it here today. Xue Shao said quite lightly as if he was joking, "Ashdwin Fu is proficient in scheming, good at drilling camps and vertical and horizontal techniques, and he also has two strokes in leading troops. But he has always been bent on his own self-interest, and he will do everything to do so. In order to consolidate his position, he even had to plant blame and cut down the roots of his own son, such a person can only be called a careerist. Throughout the ages, no matter how powerful the careerist is, he will not be able to go far, and sooner or later he will have to cocoon himself or kill himself, such as Dong Zhuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty, such as the Sui Dynasty Yu Culture and. You are different, although you are also proficient in power and strategy, and have selfish and ambitious intentions, but you do have some public intentions and ideals. Such a person can be called a hero. Heroes can achieve great things. ”

"Ho ho ...... Small victories rely on wisdom, big victories rely on virtue! Fu Nian let out a long breath, "To be able to get such an evaluation from the enemy, I, Ashina Fu Nian, can be regarded as dead without regrets." ”

Xue Shao couldn't help but smile slightly, Fu Nian said this very tactfully and politely, but his tone had already revealed real despair.

Lying on the couch, Fu Nian, who did not move at all, slowly closed his eyes, and his face was dead.

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with me well, the peace and prosperity of the rest of your life can still be guaranteed." Xue Shao said lightly, "This is much stronger than Wen Fu." ”

Fu Nian closed his eyes and stopped talking, as if he had fallen asleep.

Guo An and Wu Ming on the side couldn't help but smile, and at the same time gave Xue Shao a big thumbs up.

Fang Cai's seemingly inconspicuous few sentences of dialogue are full of cold-hearted murderous knives. Xue Shao's words sounded like compliments to Fu Nian on the surface, but in fact, he was showing Fu Nian an attitude - a clown like Ashdwin Fu, no matter how many soldiers and horses I have, I won't take him seriously; A hero like you, even if you are alone, I will never take it lightly and let the tiger return to the mountain!

No one really wants to wait for death, and it is even more impossible for a hero like Fu Nian. But Xue Shao's knock was enough to shatter the last trace of fantasy in Fu Nian's heart.

The tent was quiet again, Xue Shao didn't sleep well last night, and a feeling of tiredness hit him before he saw the page. I was about to blow out the lamp and go to bed. Cheng Wuting is coming.

"Sleeping so early?" Cheng Wuting brought four pawns, each holding a large wine vat. Cheng Wuting slapped the wine vat with a clatter, "Look, what I've sent you!" ”

Xue Shao suddenly smiled bitterly, "Still drinking?" ”

Cheng Wuting laughed, "I don't dare to break the military regulations in front of the marching chief, and if I drink it again, I will be drunk." I'm just here to see you, and by the way, I'll send you a few vasks of freshly brewed fruit wine from the army. The fruit of the black sand grows well, and the wine produced is extraordinarily fragrant! ”

"Great, wonderful!" Guo Yuanzhen stepped forward with a smile and grabbed the wine tank, "I'll accept it on behalf of Changshi, even if you don't drink it today, you can drink it when you come back another day!" ”

"Wine bag rice bag." Xue Shao smiled and scolded angrily.

Cheng Wu walked in with a smile, glanced at Fu Nian, and then glanced around the tent, and his eyes suddenly stopped at Wu Ming, who was sitting quietly on the couch.

"Hey, this person is familiar!" Cheng Wu was straightforward and looked at Wu Ming with wide eyes.

Wu Ming hurriedly got up, hugged his fists and said, "General Cheng, we have met in the morning. ”

"No, it's not morning!" Cheng Wuting became more and more curious about Wu Ming, his thick eyebrows tightened into a contemplative look, and muttered: "I must have seen you somewhere before, definitely!" ”

Xue Shao said casually, "Western Regions? ”

"Yes, it's the Western Regions!" Cheng Wuting suddenly slapped excitedly, pointed at Wu Ming and said, "You used to have hair, right?" ”

Wu Ming did not deny it, and nodded indifferently.

"You, you're the ......" Cheng Wuting's expression suddenly looked a little shocked.

Xue Shao couldn't help but be a little stunned, he could make Cheng Wuting, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, change his expression so much, presumably Wu Ming's previous identity was not simple!

"General Cheng, that's all in the past." Wu Ming was still very indifferent, and said with a smile, "Now I am just a house slave in the Xue Mansion. ”

"House slaves?!" Cheng Wu was shocked, and his jaw looked like he was about to fall to the ground.

"Yes, house slave." Wu Ming said indifferently, "When Gongzi's Xianming Mansion Jun Xue Fuma and Princess Chengyang were still alive, I took refuge in the Xue Mansion. Until today. ”

"That's at least ten years...... Cheng Wu's eyes widened incredulously and nodded, "I really can't imagine that I can see you here again!" ”

Xue Shao suddenly became curious, "Wu Ming, what kind of relationship did you have with General Evil?" ”

"There's only one side." Wu Ming replied.

Xue Shao frowned, maybe Wu Ming didn't want to mention the previous things.

"It's true that there is no connection between the two of us. It's just that his reputation in the Western Regions back then was so loud that I still can't forget it! Cheng Wuting also replied.

Wu Ming was still very indifferent, smiled and said: "The heroes don't mention the courage of the year, those are just passing by." ”

"He is worthy of being a master, and his mind is like the sea!" Cheng Wuting was very emotional and even a little awe-inspiring, and took the initiative to bow to Wu Ming, "Today, I'm glad to meet!" ”

Guo Yuanzhen on the side and the people in the Sword Brigade were all shocked - Cheng Wuting was the commander of the 100,000 Tang Army in Heisha City, and Wu Ming was just a scribe envoy who didn't even have a title, so Cheng Wuting actually took the initiative to worship him?

What's even more incredible is that Wu Ming just smiled back, not only did he accept it very calmly instead of being half panicked!

This is an exaggeration! - Even Xue Shao thinks so, even if it is me, it is impossible to be so big in front of Cheng Wuting!

"Don't disturb your rest, I'll take my leave first." Cheng Wuting said and left.

Xue Shaoshen glanced at Wu Ming twice, and chased after him on a whim.

Wu Ming just smiled indifferently, as if nothing had happened, and lay back again.

Guo Yuanzhen and the others were left stunned and stunned.

Xue Shao caught up with Cheng Wuting and asked Wu Ming bluntly what deeds can make you so amazed?

Cheng Wu was quite surprised, "He is your house slave, you don't know his past?" ”

Xue Shao shook his head, "He has been following my eldest brother in Jeju all along, and he has only recently followed me, and I really don't know anything about his past." In addition, he is a good friend of his late father, and his name is the family slave and the same elder. He didn't want to take the initiative to mention it, so it was not convenient for me to ask repeatedly. ”

"I see." Cheng Wuting let out a long sigh and said, "Speaking of which, this person is really a legend. If it weren't for the creation of people, his achievements and status today would definitely not be under Cheng! ”

"Come on!" Xue Shao pulled Cheng Wuting and sat down on a grass mound, quite a bit of the gossip style of three aunts and six mothers-in-law.

Cheng Wuting laughed twice and said, "Actually, I don't know much about him, most of it comes from hearsay. Many years ago, I used to follow Pei Gong through the Western Regions, and there were often foreign invasions, and Tibet was still very strong. In the wars of all sizes in the Western Regions, there are many generals who have come to the fore. ”

"You and Wang Fangyi are one of them, right?" Xue Shaodao.

Cheng Wuting nodded and said: "But there is one person, his name may never appear in the annals of history, but his fame is thunderous in the camp of both the enemy and us." ”

"You mean Wu Ming?" Xue Shao said curiously, "For what?" ”

"He wasn't called Wu Ming before. He doesn't even have a name, only a nickname - the King of Scouts! Cheng Wuting took a deep breath, "Sometimes for the sake of brevity, people call him 'King of Rebuke'." Later, his name on the military register inexplicably became 'Wang Rebuke'! ”

"The king reprimanded? The King of Scouts? Xue Shao was somewhat shocked.

"That's right, he's the king of the scouts." Cheng Wuting said, "Scouts are the shadows and mercury on the battlefield, they are omnipresent and omnipotent. The real elite scouts are not pawns who carry flags and ride horses to deliver intelligence. They are the eyes and ears of the army, and they are also the most mysterious and sharp secret weapons under the commander, and their ability and performance can directly determine the victory or defeat of a battle. But their names will never be made public or appear in the merit book, they are assassins who walk in the dark, and they are all-powerful kings on the battlefield! ”

Xue Shao took a deep breath and nodded approvingly-this passage is very similar to the squadron leader's speech when I first joined the special forces!

That's right, special forces are the king of soldiers on the modern battlefield; And the scouts are the ancestors of the special forces!

It is conceivable that in the ancient battlefield where communication is not developed, an excellent scout will play an important role - this seems to have conclusive evidence, and the Black Sand Surprise Attack conducted by the people of the Three Swords Brigade under the command of Xue Shao can already be regarded as a scout's operation!

"Wu Ming, he was the most powerful scout in the Western Regions back then!" Cheng Wuting said solemnly, "Not to mention how many battles he spied on to help Datang win, just the foreign generals who died in his hands are countless!" The Tibetans rewarded Wu Ming with gold equal to his weight. As a result, it took them three years to not even know who Wu Ming was! ”

"Such a powerful ......" Xue Shao took a deep breath, although I had already guessed that Wu Ming had a lot of stories, I never thought that he would have such a big way!

Cheng Wuting suddenly turned his head to look at Xue Shao, "Xue Gongzi, there is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon next to you, and even a legendary figure like Wu Ming is also your house slave!" No wonder you can train the people of the Three Blades Brigade so well! ”
