Chapter Ninety-Nine: Before the War
"I heard that the general has a junior brother, and his eyes are very attractive, could it be you?" Chen Daniu's tone was light, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and his eyes were heavy.
"Ah, you know this......" It was the first time Xu was praised like this in person, Jin Nian was a little ashamed, scratched the back of his head, and the corners of his mouth cracked uncontrollably, "Hehe, thank you...... You praise me so much. β
Mu Yu felt that his expression was really funny, and laughed alongside. quipped: "Oops, my mouth is cracked to the back of my ear, why should I be so happy......"
Jin Nian looked at Mu Yu with disgust with smiling eyes, and snorted softly from his throat.
The scene of the two of them "flirting with each other" fell into Chen Daniu's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Hehe, the little brother is polite." After speaking, he looked at Mu Yu.
Mu Yu pushed Jin Nian and urged: "Okay, you go back and wait in the camp tent first, and I'll go back immediately." β
Jin Nian's eyebrows were wrinkled into eight characters: "...... Well, I'll wait, you'll be back soon. β
It was as if a child was dependent on his own adults and was afraid to be alone.
"Got it, got it." Mu Yu had already walked away, turned around to say goodbye to him, and then said to Chen Daniu: "Brother Da Niu, you said you have something to tell me, why are you so anxious?" β
Chen Daniu looked around, looked cautious, pulled Mu Yu's sleeve and approached the bottom of the mountain not far away.
"Big Bull?"
"Let's go over there and say it's too hot and it's inconvenient."
Isn't it convenient......
Chen Daniu forcefully pulled her to the shade under the mountain wall, and his expression was still a little flustered.
"Konishi, I got the latest news, five days later, our army and the Northlanders will start a war in Bronze."
After he finished speaking, he observed Mu Yu's reaction.
Mu Yu didn't know why he told him this, could it be that he reminded her out of his friend's heart? But......
How did Chen Daniu learn the news?
This news is considered confidential, and even Jin Nian, who has the closest relationship with Feng Yu, has just learned about it......
Mu Yu looked back at Chen Daniu, his heart overflowing with doubts.
"Konishi...... If the war starts in five days, you will pretend to be sick and not participate, I will testify for you, and if you want, I will also make meritorious contributions for you to kill the enemy! β
...... What does this mean?
Mu Yu shook his head and said, "Brother Da Niu, I won't investigate how you learned the news, but if you want me to pretend to be sick and not participate in the war, it is absolutely absolutely impossible." β
She looked down at his arms gripping her shoulders, broke free, and took a few small steps back.
"I ......" Chen Daniu suddenly realized something, and stood there at a loss, "I just...... It's just eavesdropping. β
"It turns out that you overheard, no wonder." Mu Yu took the words, and the corners of his eyes were full of smiles, intended to make fun of him.
I didn't expect the honest and honest big bull brother to do such a thing as eavesdropping.
"Oh...... Hmm......" Chen Daniu responded absentmindedly.
The muscles on his bare arms looked strong, and Mu Yu casually saw his empty collarbone...... The lines are prominent and dazzling.
"By the way, Brother Da Niu, you have to beware of the villain who stole your jade pendant...... Take care of your jade pendant. Mu Yu said. She remembered that when she first arrived here, Brother Da Niu's jade pendant was targeted by that greedy thief, and she heard him say that General Wei Yuan was his uncleβfrom this point of view, it was necessary to guard against it.
"I know, his uncle is a general, I am a civilian, if his uncle is not a good person, it is not only my jade pendant, I am afraid that even my people will have to disappear together." Chen Daniu sneered.
Being analyzed by him like this, Mu Yu was a little nervous in his heart: "I hope not, you are a good person and a good person, pay more attention, even if there is anything, I believe you will definitely be able to get rid of him." β
"I hope so...... Xiaoxi, I'm not worried about myself, I'm only worried about you, have you really decided to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? β
"Of course!" There were excited spots of light in Mu Yu's eyes, which continued to flicker on and off.
"I'm afraid you'll get hurt...... Chen Daniu's voice was a little low, as if he had sunk to the bottom of a cave.
The person in front of him wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and face with his sleeve, raised his face to look at the big sun, and said: "I have also suffered hardships, and I have also experienced bad ones, and it is the first time for me to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I am a little afraid, but I am also a little excited, and my heart is like beating a drum, I can't wait." He could only reply, "You...... Well, since you like it, I will not hinder you, but I hope that you will be safe. β
Mu Yu smiled in the face of the scorching sun, delicate as a flower, warm as fire.
......
In the past few days, the army has been preparing for the big battle in five days, and everyone knows that the sneak attack they have just arrived here is just a test of the enemy, and it is the official start of the war that really determines the victory or defeat.
In the early morning, the Shunyang Mountains were shrouded in fog, reaching straight into the clouds, like the world when chaos was not opened.
The army rose up on the fifth watch, and before the morning sun rose, it had already filled its stomach and prepared everything.
The flag of the Eastern Progressive Kingdom rests quietly on the flagpole. Early in the morning there is only a breeze to talk about.
Mu Yu stood straight in the crowd, his eyes full of copper-colored armor and long war halberds. Everyone was holding empty bowls with solemn expressions, as if they were going to a grand banquet, and there was a dead silence.
Feng Yu stood in front of everyone and looked at everyone from a high position.
He himself poured himself bowls of wine, and then the soldiers were poured wine, one after the other, until everyone's bowls were no longer empty.
Feng Yu said: "Victory and defeat are common sense, life and death have their own fate, this general wishes you all a full return!" β
The more enemies you kill, the higher your military merits, and the chance to become an official. However, the number of heads is reported by themselves, and it is common for someone to lie, but almost no one dares to lie, because lying about military exploits is the crime of defrauding the king, and the crime of deceiving the king is only one death.
In fact, it is also allowed to properly lie about the head, after all, when you really kill the enemy on the battlefield, you don't have any extra thoughts to care about how many people you kill, so as long as you don't retreat from the battle and don't kill a single person but the deserted city kills people yourself, it is basically not a lie.
At this point, it can be seen that there is still some humanity in it.
...... The human touch is not desirable on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, anyone has become a killing machine, as long as it is not their own person, just kill, extremely bloody, extremely cruel.
Mu Yu still remembered Feng Yu's indifference and cruelty when he killed the enemy - without the slightest softness, without the slightest hesitation.
Killing people cleanly and neatly is his style.
The first time Mu Yu killed someone, it was actually a sneak attack in the dark night. At that time, her eyes were full of darkness and blood, and she continued to wield her halberd as if she had changed into a different person...... I felt numb and groggy in consciousness.
That feeling...... Mu Yu was a little afraid.
