Suddenly, Fang Huanlan's cheeks flushed, she turned her face away, and said, "Grandpa, don't think about it too much, I just regard him as a very good companion." From the academy selection competition to the new talent competition, he has made a lot of contributions. So when I wrote a letter to report the good news, I couldn't help but praise a few words. ”
"If you are a very good companion, there are many people who are your age in this northern frontier and are recognized by you. An imperial event in your mind should not be as good as a victory at the border, right? However, there has never been one that can make you so praised. Some of the compliments have been integrated into personal feelings. Although grandpa is old, he can still see some thoughts. ”
Fang Zhuosheng smiled again and raised his hand to move the chess pieces.
Seeing this, Fang Huanlan hurriedly pushed out one of the chess pieces under his hand, and the moment he fell, he replied: "I just think that he is a little different." Obviously, he was very reckless, but he was really able to turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory. ”
"Strong? On the premise of having exactly the hole cards, deliberately relax the vigilance of the enemy and look for opportunities to counterattack. This is a common technique for many veterans. For this, Alain should also be clear. ”
When the words fell, Fang Zhuosheng slashed out a chess piece and knocked out the chess piece that Fang Huanlan had just fallen out of the game in an instant.
"Your heart seems to be in turmoil? That step just now should be one step further, right? ”
Playing with a chess piece that was out of the game, Fang Huanlan shook her head again, and pondered slightly for a while before speaking again.
"It's not that grandpa, you suddenly said something amazing, which made me think a little confused. Grandpa is right, deliberately revealing flaws to slack the opponent, as a tactic is not uncommon. Ning Yue is not bad at strategy, but I'm sure he didn't mean to do that, but he was really reckless. The look in his eyes at every disadvantage is like a trapped beast that swore to fight to the death when you took me hunting, when you took me hunting, you obviously fell into the middle of the hunt. Or let's put it this way, when we first met, his cultivation was not as good as mine, but in terms of actual combat, I may not be able to win against him. But after going through the academy selection competition and the new talent competition, in just two months, he has far surpassed me. Any battle that seems to be strong, in fact, he is sharpening his edge, and every time he fights with a strong man, he is breaking through his limits. ”
Fang Zhuosheng smiled playfully and said, "Oh? According to you, it's a bit like a person. A young man who is rarely recognized by me, an out-and-out rising star. ”
"Who is the young man who can be recognized by his grandfather? Is there anything I don't know? Fang Huanlan was stunned, the young generals promoted by Fang Zhuosheng, she didn't know it.
Fang Zhuosheng replied: "Of course, you don't know, for an old man like me who is over seventy, thirty years old can be regarded as a young man. And I mentioned it a few years ago. When I first saw him, I thought it wasn't easy, and it was absolutely impossible to settle for a partial position. But he never imagined that his later achievements would be so amazing. At that time, he bowed down to me. And now, in reverse, I have to bow when I see him. ”
"There are also people who want to salute Grandpa, the entire Snow Dragon Empire, I'm afraid there is only - wait a minute, the young man Grandpa said is His Majesty today!"
With a scream, the chess pieces in Fang Huanlan's hand fell directly, knocked on the table with a crisp sound, and then rolled off the table and fell to the ground.
"That's right, it's Sima Haiwei's kid. After you say this, I can understand why His Majesty would pay special attention to a young man with some demon blood flowing in his body. Probably, he saw the shadow of himself in the past. Sometimes, you need to take a big gamble and gamble on your limits and possibilities. At the end of the day, even if it is a failure, it is likely that I have grown a lot compared to yesterday's self. ”
With that, Fang Zhuosheng pushed down all the chess pieces on the table and shrugged his shoulders.
"There's no need to play this game of chess, look at the appearance, you don't have a mind."
"How can you not have a mind? Let's do it all over again, grandpa. ”
Fang Huanlan leaned over to pick up the chess piece she had fallen and began to tidy up the chessboard on the table. She was not surprised that Fang Zhuosheng knew about Ning Yue's identity. After all, in the Snow Dragon Empire, the four generalissimos are in high power, and they only obey the emperor's orders, and it is not difficult to know some secret things.
"The chess game can be repeated, and if a war is lost, as long as it is not lost, it can also be redeemed in the future. But there are some things that I don't grasp, and it will be difficult to pursue them in the future. ”
Shaking his head, Fang Zhuosheng got up and strode to the window with his hands behind his back.
"Everyone in the army of the Snow Dragon Empire knows that I have never been married. However, they all thought that I was so focused on the war that I had no heart to think about those personal issues. Not really. When I was young and vigorous, there were women who made me feel tempted. However, he could obviously hold her in his arms, but in the end he could only sigh to the moon alone. ”
"Grandpa, if you do this again, I'll go!"
Fang Huanlan let out a sigh of anger and subconsciously clenched the chess pieces in her hand.
"Let's go, then. This trip to let you go to the Imperial College seems to be the right one. At least you've learned a lot of things you wouldn't have been able to understand before. It's much better to spend more time with your companions than with an old man like me, who is dying. Remember, take advantage of the opportunity. ”
"Hmph, ignore you."
As soon as the chess pieces in her hand were lost, Fang Huanlan left in a hurry, intending to slam the door and go out, but at the last moment, she suddenly grabbed the door that was about to slam it shut with her backhand, and gently closed it.
In the room, Fang Zhuosheng shook his head and smiled, and suddenly, the smile froze again.
"Ning Yue, what is your origin? has the shadow of Sima Haiwei, but in some ways, he is better than him. However, no matter what you want to do, if you dare to hurt Alain, I will make you pay! ”
……
"Imperial Shield, Marshal North. is worthy of his name, not only his rock-solid military exploits in guarding the border for decades, but also his deep convergence. Compared to the red edge, compared to the sharpness and madness of Marshal West, if you are an enemy, it is even more unsettling. ”
After coming to the arranged room and sitting down, Ning Yue sighed deeply. Now, the four generalissimos of the empire, he has already seen three of them. If you want to calculate carefully, there are actually five people, three marshals of the East, all of whom have met.
"What are you sighing about? Marshal North will not be your enemy, but our staunchest ally. ”
Chang Xuanxuan sat down and put his hand on Ning Yue's shoulder, snorting and laughing.
"I'm just sighing, the more outstanding people I have seen, the more I find myself flawed and insignificant. After winning the cutting-edge competition, he defeated Murong Feiyun, a strong enemy of his peers all along, and couldn't help but swell a little in his heart, feeling that even if it was a battlefield in the Northern Frontier, he would definitely be able to gallop wantonly, which was impressive. Unexpectedly, on the first day, he was hit twice. The road is still long. ”
Pushing Chang Xuanxuan away, Ning Yue glanced at the room, it was not spacious, and the furnishings were very simple. After all, it is a border gate, and there is no extra space left for them. The only thing they cared about was that there were four beds in the room, but there were only three of them. Of course, it is not possible to leave a bed empty because of this.
"Xiao Ao, Chang Xuanxuan, let's guess, who will make the last bed?"
"Whose is it and what? Like, it has nothing to do with the next war, right? ”
Just after the bed was made, Xiao Ao lay down on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and continued to mutter: "On the way over just now, I seemed to hear people who came together say that in the first battle today, our so-called newcomers have been killed and injured more than ten times. Is our luck very good, we didn't lose a single of the six teams in the finals of the new competition. The same is true for today's first battle. ”
Chang Xuanxuan was stunned and said, "Isn't it good to survive?" You're still complaining? For the army, what is most needed is this kind of experienced people who have gone through several battles of life and death, and can still survive tenaciously to the end. After several baptisms of iron and blood, we will definitely be stronger after transformation. ”
Xiao Ao raised his hand and grabbed it, held it in the void, closed his eyes and sighed: "Maybe, it's just pure luck." But luck is such a mysterious thing, it's impossible to say, and you can't tell when you'll run out. After witnessing today's battle, are you still so optimistic? I mean, be cautious. There are too many enemies this time, and the danger is no less than the catastrophe in the Star Sea Forest. ”
"What's the matter, you, who have always been afraid of heaven and earth, are actually afraid at this time?" Ning Yue was a little surprised, looking at Xiao Ao, very puzzled.
Xiao Ao snorted: "It's not fear, it's an instinctive warning. You two won't be unaware of what exactly I was doing before joining your camp. To survive that experience of death until now, I have a far better sense of impending danger than you. If you can, don't rush too far in the next battle, don't think that with the Marshal of the West or the Marshal of the North, you will definitely be able to rescue successfully. I have a hunch that this time the enemy still has a lot of hole cards, and I haven't taken them out. ”
Hearing this, Ning Yue smiled and said: "But we don't know how many hole cards Marshal West and Marshal North still hold, don't we?" You can't be too optimistic, but you can't be too pessimistic either. If it comes, it will be safe. It is impossible to fight without death, but with our ability, we will definitely survive to the end. ”
"Whatever you want."
……
To Ning Yue and the others' expectations, the next time, until the third day, was calm. Outside the border pass, the demon army could be clearly seen encamped, but it was only a confrontation from a distance, and it did not take the initiative to attack. In the face of such a large number of enemies, the Empire did not choose to take the initiative.
It's obviously better to wait for work. In everyone's mind, the towering city pass is impossible to break through, and it is the best barrier on the frontier.
At night, the stars and moon are dark, and the cold wind makes people shiver.
The absence of war does not mean that they can relax, even if they are rushing to help, patrolling and standing guard at night, they need to be in shifts.
Standing on the city tower and looking at the fire burning on the other side of the wasteland from afar, Fang Huanlan sighed with emotion and said, "I miss the night scene, since I was ten years old, until I entered the Imperial Academy, I have seen such a scene every year. ”
"In your memory, the demons should never have broken through the barrier of the empire, right?" Ning Yue stood on the side and said casually.
Fang Huanlan sighed: "You think too well. As the biggest barrier, the Desert Gate Pass has indeed not been breached. But there are so many levels nearby, and not all of them can be defended. I have the impression that the city has been breached several times, but it can be recaptured quickly every year. Actually, there are some disgraces in it. As long as they can break through the city pass, the demons will no longer kill soldiers, but take prisoners, take them out together when they are about to be unable to hold on, and then send people to negotiate and exchange the prisoners for food. ”
"You're going to give?" Ning Yue was stunned for a moment, and soon, he said the answer.
"Compared to the lives of captured soldiers, it is worth sending out some food."
"Yes, even if they are captured, it does not mean that those soldiers are cowards. Whenever that happens, we ......"
Suddenly, Fang Huanlan's voice stopped abruptly, staring at Ning Yue's back and above.
Ning Yue realized in an instant, and when he looked back, he saw that the night sky in the distance was lit up by a few rays of firelight. Beneath the torn darkness, the shadow of a level can be faintly seen.
"Night raid?"
