In the clear blue sky, there were only a few traces of clouds scattered by the wind, like white silk.

Under the sky, the blue sea is slightly undulating. The waves crashed against the ship's side, and the white water stirred up before returning to the surface again.

On the slightly undulating warship, a few seagulls rested on the mast of the sail. From time to time, he pecked his wings and his small smart eyes to look at the dense crowd on the deck below.

Now, the pirate flag that marked the skeleton of the Black Land has been lowered, and in its place is the military flag of the Great Zhou.

The sea breeze is cold, and the Great Zhou military flag hanging at the highest part of the mast is waving in the wind. Whirring.

Two months were spent in a stalemate war.

Now, spring is going to summer, and it's May. Counting the numbers, it was already early summer.

The sky is no longer warm and gentle. Wearing the scorching fire of Xia Yue, it felt a little hot on people's bodies. The clean overtime of the cleaning, under the illumination of this daylight, shimmered with dazzling brilliance.

On either side of the overtime, there were heavily armed Great Zhou warriors. His calm face was filled with excitement, and his eyes were blazing as he looked at the king of Goryeo in the middle of the deck, whose face was like ashes and his head was down.

These soldiers are all those who have fought bravely and performed brilliantly in these three months. Last night, they suddenly received a notice that the military advisor had asked them to board the ship to participate in the surrender ceremony of the King of Goryeo.

It is also said that they will be honored here.

The soldiers listened and stayed awake all night in excitement. Early the next morning, under the envious gaze of their companions, they changed into clean clothes and walked to the flagship.

Now, under the dazzling head, these soldiers in neat military uniforms blushed and clenched their fists excitedly. Looking at the open space in front of him, the military advisor, who was still dressed in a green shirt and had a calm face, stretched out his hand to take the king's seal and the surrender letter in the hands of the king of Goryeo.

At that moment, the Great Zhou soldiers on the deck cried with joy.

"Unwilling?" Lu Heng handed the seal ribbon and the national letter to Duan Peng's hand on the side, turned his head, looked at the King of Goryeo who was silent in front of him, and asked lightly.

"Not really!" The king of Goryeo raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Swallowing his saliva, he hurriedly waved his hand.

"Let's go to Da Zhou and have a look!" Lu Heng held on to the table and stood up. With a very good smile on his face, he looked at the king of Goryeo affectionately.

"Good, good!" The king of Goryeo hurriedly stood up and thanked him.

I don't know if it's a hallucination, when he stood up, Lu Heng suddenly saw a moment in front of him, and a feeling of nausea accompanied by dizziness hit his heart.

Could it be a cold?

Lu Heng was shocked, and reached out to wipe his forehead.

It's a little hot!

The vertigo in front of him hit again, and he almost didn't stand still. Hurriedly reached out to hold the table, took a deep breath, and shook his head. When he raised his head, his face was slightly pale.

The dizziness in front of me is getting stronger and stronger. Almost the whole big ship is shaking, and the people on board are shaking.

Lu Hengqiang held on, showed a smile, and said to the anxious King of Goryeo: "When the time comes, I will treat you!" ”。

On the side, Duan Peng and Zhanxiong keenly saw the strangeness of the military advisor. When he saw the hand of the military advisor holding the table, he trembled sharply. The two of them felt a sudden feeling in their hearts. hurriedly stepped forward to reach out and help.

It's just that as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by the military advisor who turned his head and stopped him with his eyes.

Calm eyes, with stern orders. made the two of them struggle with their faces, and in the end, they could only stand in place and obey the order.

After waving his hand and letting people introduce King Goryeo into the cabin, Lu Heng's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat. The green shirt was soaked with sweat, and he sat down weakly, panting heavily.

"Strategist!" Zhanxiong strode over, stretched out his arms, and helped Lu Heng, who was already crumbling, and asked with panic in his eyes.

Lu Heng's face was pale, and he didn't even have a trace of blood. He raised his fist and gagged his mouth, and coughed. He laughed hard, shook his head and said, "It seems to be suffering from the wind and cold, it's nothing!" ”

Turning his head, he said to Zhanxiong: "Go, go, get something!" ”

"Childe, you ......" Zhanxiong saw that the military advisor's face was getting more and more ugly, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he stammered.

"Go!" Lu Heng took a deep breath, stood up on the table, looked at Zhanxiong calmly, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Zhanxiong lifted his sleeve and wiped his moist eyes. Turning his head, he nodded to Duan Peng beside him. Seeing that Duan Peng took it steadily, Zhan Xiong let go of his hand and walked towards the cabin.

Not long after, Zhanxiong walked out with a wooden plate covered with bright gold brocade.

"Strategist!" Zhanxiong lowered his head and said respectfully.

Lu Heng opened his eyes, but he happened to see the tears in Zhanxiong's eyes.

shook his head and scolded with a smile: "I'm not dying, why are you doing this!" ”

After taking a deep breath and calming down, Lu Heng finally stood up.

Glancing at the soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion standing in a row in front of him, Lu Heng smiled and said lightly: "Hehe......, it's good to be back!" ”

Lu Heng smiled slightly, looking at these warriors who had returned from bruising one by one.

A very peaceful compliment, as if it is a greeting from a family member, makes people's hearts warm.

The soldiers scratched their heads and smiled, and looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

Looking at the team of 21 people when they set out on the expedition, there are now only more than 80 people left. Lu Heng's face darkened, he sighed lightly, and said regretfully: "It's a lot less!" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers looked solemn and bowed their heads silently.

Of those who survived, each of them had watched their brothers leave. They have also buried their brothers with their own hands. Everyone has sworn to their dying brother that they will avenge them and take care of each other's parents.

Now, when I heard the military advisor talk about it, I couldn't help but feel sad from it, and the warriors with their heads bowed had tears in their eyes. A few people have already raised their hands to secretly wipe their tears.

"The eldest husband is still shrouded in horse leather, they are all real soldiers! Da Zhou will remember them! Lu Heng took a deep breath, raised his head, looked at these soldiers fixedly, and said in a deep voice.

Stretched out his hand to remove the golden brocade on the wooden plate, revealing the neatly placed shield-shaped armbands inside.

On the armband, a hideous snow wolf roared in the sky. Full of heroism and indomitable bravery.

"These badges are embroidered by His Majesty's concubines! Then it was sent by Qianniuwei for 800 miles! Lu Heng picked up a badge and said with a smile: "It's a badge specially prepared for you, and it's the glory unique to the Snow Wolf Battalion!" ”

Looking at the armband made of gold and silver thread in his hand, Lu Heng smiled, and after glancing at the soldiers, he said lightly: "When I was about to set out on the expedition, Your Majesty said to me, Yongzheng." If the soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion have made immortal feats. I will reward each of them with a golden book and iron coupon! ”

Golden Book Iron Coupons? Death-free gold medal?

Hearing this, the soldiers were shocked, raised their heads, and looked at the military advisor in amazement, their eyes full of unbelievable ecstasy and excitement.

Golden books and iron coupons, that's something that only generals can have.

After Lu Heng saw the excited expressions of the soldiers, he smiled slightly and continued: "I said at the time that the Snow Wolf Battalion doesn't have its own armband. Your Majesty, do you want your concubines to do you a favor? ”

Hearing this, not only the soldiers, but even Duan Peng, Zhanxiong and others were stunned.

Let His Majesty's concubines, the ladies of the golden body, weave and embroider a group of old and thick soldiers. This, this is simply a great crime of disrespect.

The courage of the military advisor, the military advisor is really big.

Although they saw the military advisor standing here safe and sound, they also knew that His Majesty did not punish the military advisor. However, thinking about the thrill, the soldiers couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for the military division.

Lu Heng's calm face was smiling. After glancing at them, he recalled the original scene with a smile: "At that time, His Majesty listened to it, but he was not angry. It's just that if you win, you will have an armband. Lose, head move! ”

Lu Heng smiled and pointed to his neck, shook his head and smiled, coughed and said, "I said, okay!" ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Heng raised his head, looked at the soldiers who looked surprised, shook the armband in his hand and said, "Oh, this is how these armbands came from!" ”

On the side, Zhan Xiong and Duan Peng heard this, and their shocked faces trembled slightly.

Seeing the current military advisor so weak, I suddenly understood in my heart.

During the two-month war, the military advisors never gave them any orders to win and not lose. Nor was they urged to shorten the event. Such a relaxed environment. Let the two generals be like fish in water, free and comfortable.

It turned out that all this pressure was on the shoulders of this thin scholar.

Walked up to one of the soldiers and pressed the armband his left arm, Lu Heng smiled and told him, "Keep it, this is your gold medal for avoiding death." Your Majesty said that except for defecting to the enemy and treason, all other crimes can be avoided death! ”

"Yes!" The soldier raised his hand, snapped the armband, and shouted excitedly.

After sending the armbands to the soldiers one by one, Lu Heng, who was weak, found a chair and sat down. Then he waved his hand and smiled at the soldiers, looked at the armbands in his hands and said, "Go, give you three days off!" ”

"Thank you, Strategist!"

"The military advisor is mighty!"

For a moment, the cheers of the soldiers on the deck rang out. The soldiers put their shoulders on their shoulders and laughed, thanking the advisor.

The excited looks of the soldiers gradually blurred. When you look up, the sun is not shining. Hazy, getting darker and darker...... A groggy feeling that the world is spinning.

Countless figures appear in my mind, some from past lives and some from this life. There is a woman who is far away in Tokyo, and there is also Wang Tingzhi in Taiyuan.

A lot of people, a lot of things, came to mind for a while.

In my mind, like a movie screen, flashed quickly.

Jiangning, Qinhuai River, the early morning shrouded in light mist, the girls by the river who smiled and saluted themselves.

And under the firewood door, the lantern that never goes out.

The pictures passed one after another, and suddenly, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared in front of me.

The sky is gray, the earth is gray, and even the figure that walks between the heavens and the earth is gray.

Except for the ground, where rivers of blood flowed, the rest was gray.

In this gray world, the bubbling blood, the red is terrible.
