Chapter 31: It's Raining

When he rushed back to the base camp from the front line, the weather was not very good, and Su An's mood at this time was the same as this weather, very gloomy.

Stepping on the Huayan floor of the base square, along the road, those soldiers belonging to the upper road legion were greeting him.

"Su An, when did you come to our camp to drink together?"

"Brother Suan, long time no see."

"Thank you for taking care of me back then!"

The little soldiers were either respectful or sincere, although their identities were very different, but their eyes when they looked at Su An were all shining with reverence.

If this was in Jingzhou City, Su An would always smile and chat with them to respond to the enthusiasm of the soldiers, but today, he only responded one by one, and never even said a word......

Su An is only a captain-level creep at the bottom of the legion, but he has a high reputation in the upper lane legion. Because apart from the heroes, he is not only a veteran who has been with the army for many years, but also the most legendary soldier in the legion.

The soldiers of the so-called iron battalion and the soldiers of the legion all have a service period, as little as two years, and as many as five years, but the canyon battlefield is extremely cruel, for so many years, countless soldiers have died on the battlefield, and many soldiers have actually died in the canyon without being able to survive until retirement.

In the Legion, unfamiliar faces can be seen every day, and they are new rookies. A familiar face, or one that may not be seen again one day, is a veteran who died in the canyon. Death is everywhere, and the colleagues who fought side by side and drank together yesterday may suddenly disappear today, this is the daily life of the soldiers.

But I don't know when it started, people were surprised to find that the soldiers in the legion changed from generation to generation, but only the legion on the road will always have this veteran figure.

Many soldiers know that Su An is the most qualified veteran, he has experienced countless battles, but no matter how difficult the battle, even in the face of those terrible enemy heroes, he can always "come back alive" the little soldier.

Few people know when Su An joined the Shu Legion, and many people's impression of Su An is basically "I saw him when I came to the Legion, and many years after leaving the Legion, I met him outside the battlefield by chance, and he was still serving in the Legion." ”

This is a mysterious and legendary creep.

"He actually came back alive?"

"Why didn't he retire?"

"With such a beautiful campaign, why didn't he get promoted?"

"How many more years will he serve in the Legion?"

Such a question slowly began to spread widely among the Shu army, and correspondingly, a rumor also began to rise.

There are occasional rumors in the legion that Su An once offended a group of mysterious people when he was young, and it seems that it is the arrangement of these mysterious people that makes Su An unable to retire and never get any promotion.

Of course, none of these rumors have any substantial evidence, no soldier dares to ask the heroes, and Su An himself has never said a word about it.

And it is precisely because of such a rich resume and unpredictable mystery that Su An is regarded as a legend by the soldiers, and some people even called him a "half-hero" at one time.

In this world of "heroes are supreme", it is a supreme honor for a small soldier to be given such a title, and it is also where Su An's prestige lies.

......

Feeling the reverent gaze of the little soldiers, Su An subconsciously clenched his fists, and there was no trace of pride in his deep eyes, but there was an inexplicable sadness in his eyes.

He stopped and looked up at the base camp in the distance, in which was the commander of the highest level of the Shu Kingdom, and the person he didn't want to see but had to see.

Holding back the disgust in his heart, Su An approached the base camp and opened the curtain of the camp.

In the large tent, a young man in blue and white armor with silver-blue hair was facing away from him, and he was looking at the map of the canyon that hung on the wall.

Su An just stood in place like that, with a pair of emotionless eyes just staring at the back of the silver-haired man, without saying a word.

After a long time, a soft sigh sounded in the silent tent.

"You're here?" The silver-haired man still didn't look back, but he seemed to know that it was Su An.

Su An didn't speak, he stepped forward, put a scroll map in front of Shuai's desk, and then silently retreated.

Hearing that Su An didn't speak, the silver-haired man slowly turned his head, he had a plump and handsome face, but his expression was covered with a layer of prohibitive coldness.

His dark blue eyes reflected Su An's figure, and after a while, he said slowly, "Sit down." Then, he came to the handsome case and opened the map that Su An handed in.

But Su An didn't sit on the chair on the side as the silver-haired man said, just stood there silently, and the silver-haired man didn't seem to care about this kind of thing.

After a while, the silver-haired man said without raising his head: "You are willing to take the initiative to come to see me this time, I think there is something important to tell me, right?" ”

The corners of Su An's eyes twitched slightly, and then he said in a cold tone that he didn't usually have: "One of my subordinates thinks that Wei Guo is planning to attack the second defense tower, and he needs to invite a hero to come and take charge. ”

"Hehe, then this subordinate of yours still has something to learn." The silver-haired man still didn't even raise his head, just looked at the map spread out on the handsome case.

It seemed that the silver-haired man's reaction had been anticipated, and Su An said: "Another subordinate of mine thinks that Wei is making a feint, and its real purpose may be to ...... in the middle and lower roads."

Before he finished speaking, the silver-haired man raised his head and interrupted: "There are ambushes in the middle and lower roads of the Wei State, and the heroes of the Wei State are concentrated in the ambush point, and their upper roads are empty, can we take the opportunity to send heroes over to destroy the first defense tower of the Wei State?" ”

With just one glance, without any field investigation, he easily saw through the mystery that ordinary people can't see, it should be said that it is not for nothing that this silver-haired man can become the supreme commander-in-chief of the three-way army leading the Shu Kingdom.

"He is worthy of being the greatest genius in the history of Jixia Academy." Su An said in a stiff tone: "This is indeed what he himself meant. ”

"Being able to see through the strategy of the Wei State, this subordinate of yours is very remarkable, and it can be seen that you have taught your subordinates very well, and you have not insulted the name of our Jixia Academy, nor have you lived up to the knowledge taught to you by your master." Having said that, the silver-haired man, whether from his tone or expression, felt like he was praising people, but more like he was using words to spy on Su An's reaction.

Su An didn't answer, just stared coldly into the silver-haired man's eyes.

It is estimated that in the entire Shu legion, no soldier dares to face the dignified commander-in-chief of the three armies with such a contemptuous attitude, if this strange scene is seen by any passing soldier, it is estimated that Su An's popularity in Shu will go to a higher level.

"Let's talk."

It seemed that he couldn't find the information he wanted in Su An's eyes, the silver-haired man leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and said slowly: "Five days ago, the peerless demon of the Wei State attacked the second defense tower on your road, and the captain was killed in battle, and now the top soldiers of the army on the road are leaderless, and it is when a new leader is needed, I want to propose to the monarch that you will be in charge of the top soldiers on the road." ”

Su An didn't speak, just stared at the silver-haired man, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes, until the silver-haired man's resolute brows frowned slightly in displeasure, and he said in a deep voice: "Within the specified time, as long as I don't die, I will be free, and during this period, I will never be promoted, I will not be allowed to retire, this agreement, you should not forget, right?" ”

The silver-haired man was silent.

Su An suddenly showed a smile, a crazy smile: "When I was arranged here, didn't the old guys just hope that I could die on the battlefield?" Why, my tenacity is beyond the expectations of the old fellows, who can't wait now? ”

"Is it necessary?" After a long silence, a complicated look flashed in the dark blue eyes of the silver-haired man.

"We are all students of the Jixia Academy, as long as you are willing to bow your head and admit your mistakes, Master He will forgive you. After all these years, can't you still accept that fact? ”

"I have reservations about that fact." Su An sneered: "I just disdain to be in the company of you sanctimonious hypocrites who steal the world and deceive the world!" ”

The silver-haired man was silent.

Su An said again: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to ask for mercy from those old guys, but after living in Jingzhou for so many years, I don't want to see the fall of Shu, but now it seems that I have done it too much." ”

Leaving this sentence with a sneer, Su An prepared to turn around and leave.

"Bukit ......"

Su An's body trembled and stopped leaving.

How many years has it been? How many years ago was the last time you heard the name?

"If you still haven't let go, then recommend me a candidate, I believe that you have been in the legion for so many years, and you must be more suitable than me to select a qualified commander in the legion." Behind him, the voice of the silver-haired man came again.

Commander-in-Chief –

Su An raised his head and looked at the thunderclouds rolling in the sky outside the tent door, for some reason, a certain figure flashed in his mind, and he also remembered the person who had influenced his life.

Secretly gritting his teeth, Su An turned around suddenly, grabbed a brush and map in front of the copper case very unceremoniously, and after writing a few words in the sound of brushing, he threw it back again.

"One thing I need to state is that it is this recruit who has just enlisted in the army who has seen through the plans of the Wei State, I have not taught him anything, and I will not teach even a little bit of knowledge to anyone in my lifetime, remember."

"I respect your choice." The silver-haired man let out a slight sigh, but then he frowned slightly, "But can you explain why you would recommend a new recruit?" ”

"I trust my instincts that he is not only a natural warrior, but also a commander like no other."

"You're ridiculous enough to trust your instincts?"

"Back then, I also relied on intuition to lead you into the Jixia Academy, what was the result?" In the laughter of loss, Su An walked out of the camp, "The world laughs at me for being too crazy, I laugh at the world for not being able to see through it!" Ha, haha! ”

With a complicated expression, he watched Su An open the curtain and leave laughing wildly, the silver-haired man was silent, his fingers were gently tapping on the tabletop, and his dark blue eyes were looking at the words written by Su An on the back of the map.

"The seventeenth squad of the top soldier unit of the Upper Road Legion - Wang Yao."

Da, dada......

I don't know when there was a dense muffled sound from the top of the tent, which was the sound of raindrops hitting the tent.

It's starting to rain.
