Chapter 14: Ghost Stories II
readx; Chao Jie didn't care, and secretly laughed in his heart, you can try it casually, my thing is forged with all kinds of new metals, even if the Song Dynasty is the peak era of cold weapons, it is impossible to make a stronger metal than my thing, so this thing can definitely be said to sweep this era, with your knowledge, once you can't say doubt, then you can only let me say it casually.

The results of the experiment were not beyond Chaojie's expectations, even the shield made of stainless steel looked like papier-mΓ’chΓ© in front of the military thorns, and everyone was amazed, and no one doubted the origin of this thing, let alone the ghost story told by Chao Jie. Even Lin Chong, who had always been calm, was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, but they were also a little carried away, and they all forgot the sentence that the partition wall has ears, and everything that happened inside the tent was clearly seen by people outside at this time.
The man had already arrived, and he had also heard the ghost story told by Chao Jie, but he didn't move until he saw that these people had finished trying the military assassination, so he sneered and strode towards the house, changed his expression as he walked, laughed and said, "I heard that the first few people of the Lin Sect are drinking here, and Xiao Ke also came to have fun." β
His voice was not low, the people in the house were still on the rise, as soon as they heard the movement outside, they immediately looked out of the door, Chao Jie also stabbed the general into his arms, and then stood behind Liu Tang with his head down. As soon as he saw the man walk in, he heard Liu Tang sigh, and then said a little hesitantly, "Why is the deputy military division so interested in coming to me today to ask for wine?" β
Deputy Division? Zhu Wu. Chao Jie immediately remembered this person, why did he come? There are too many evaluations about this Zhu Wu in later generations, some people think that he is a fool, every time he makes a suggestion, it is strange and inexplicable, and he has never had a wonderful performance of putting the enemy to death cleanly, and he is not worthy of the title of Shenji Military Master at all. Some people think that this is an extremely smart person, after all, there are not more than ten Liangshan heroes who lived to a good death in the end, but there is such a person, just imagine if you are not a smart person, who can judge the situation so much?
But Chao Jie has his own ideas, in his opinion, Zhu Wu is neither a very smart nor a fool, he is just a mouthful. This person has his own little wisdom but never great wisdom, otherwise he would never give Song Jiang an idea in front of Wu Yong, doesn't he know that even if his idea is adopted, it will be calculated by Wu Yong? I'm afraid that he would do the same even if he knew, because he really wanted to enter the decision-making level, but he didn't have that opportunity, no one would give him this opportunity, whether it was Wu Yong or Gongsun Sheng.
Fortunately, Gongsun Sheng left Liangshan later, and he had the opportunity to come under Lu Junyi, and he thought that he was finally going to shine, but who knew that this Lu Junyi was just a reckless man, and kung fu may belong to the first in Liangshan, but in addition to kung fu, he was almost useless, just such a person was still stubborn and self-serving, Zhu Wu was soon disappointed, so in the later period, he almost spoke after Lu Junyi suffered a loss, which may be a kind of revenge. Judging from these plots, this Zhu Wu is just a literati who wants to climb up but has never had a chance, and it is no wonder that some people in later generations once said that he may be the author's own self-portrait, depressed and feeling that he has nowhere to show his splendid belly.
Zhu Wu looks white and clean, with a wisp of goatee hanging down on his chin, and he looks really like a teacher than Wu Yong, but a pair of eyes are always wandering, as if he is calculating something all the time, which makes Chao Jie immediately think of the fortune teller he saw on the set before, as if this is the state.
"Deputy military division, please sit down, come and get a new pair of chopsticks." Liu Tangdao also seemed very enthusiastic, and hurriedly arranged his subordinates to be busy.
"No, I'm looking for you for something. Just now, the deputy pioneer asked me to look for Lin Jiaotou, and when I got there, I knew that Lin Jiaotou had arrived at Brother Liu, so I looked for it. β
"What is the Deputy Pioneer looking for me?" As soon as Lin Chong heard that Lu Junyi was looking for him, he naturally wanted to ask clearly.
But before Zhu Wu could speak, the sound of the gathering drums was remembered outside, and several leaders glanced at each other, and they didn't dare to delay to stand up and go outside, but Zhu Wu didn't move.
He also found that everyone was a little confused, so he said with a smile: "Xiao Ke just came back from the deputy vanguard, this time there is no need to go back, you please, San Lang and I are here waiting for you to come back." β
Chao Jie is not a real general, so he doesn't have to go, so he has to watch them leave to accompany Zhu Wu, but the two usually don't intersect, and Zhu Wu also has his own small group, so the situation is a little awkward.
At this time, someone gave a new cup of chopsticks, and Zhu Wu was not polite, he drank a glass of wine first, and then asked Chao Jie with a smile, "San Lang, I found that you seem to have suddenly opened your mind recently, is there any adventure?" β
Chao Jie's heart moved, what does this guy mean, he has never been Chao Gai's person, and even on the issue of Zhao'an, he has been infinitely close to Song Jiang, so he naturally can't be unguarded against such a person, so he said with a smile: "Where is the deputy military division, I am still the third Chao Laosan, where is the trick?" β
Zhu Wu didn't care about his reaction, just smiled slightly and continued: "It's not been a day or two since Xiao Ke observed you, since you landed in Runzhou, your performance has been very different from before, not to mention your performance in Xuanzhou. Killing more than 1,000 thieves with 300 people is not shocking in itself, but none of your men are injured, which is not your Chao Saburo's usual style. β
"Oh? So what is my usual style? β
"Naturally, you are the first to take the lead, regardless of life and death, otherwise how could your elite army of more than 3,000 people have less than 300 people left."
Chao Jie's brows moved, and before he could refute, he heard Zhu Wu continue: "San Lang, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I'm happy for San Lang, and I'm just happy for Brother Chao, after all, Brother Chao has been a hero all his life, if he knows that his younger brother can grow into a hero today, he can be blind even under Jiuquan." He paused, sighed as if he was very touched and said: "Xiao Ke and Brother Chao have not been together for a long time, but they have always admired Brother Chao's demeanor, but it's a pity that God is jealous of talent, and now I feel a little comforted to see that you have a chance." However, as the so-called life and death have fate, Brother Chao's life and death have long been predestined, when I finished studying and went down the mountain, my teacher had already told me. β
