116. Temperament

Madrigal worries about Li Zi's safety. Zheng Xuan's fleet already belongs to the expeditionary formation, and once it falls into the situation of pastoral analysis, I am afraid that Li Zi will follow Zheng Xuan to fight to the death, and Xiang Xiaoyu will die. Li Zi is like-minded with Madrigal, is a confidant, and has recently developed an underground romance, after learning that the person he loves is also secretly loving him, Madrigal's mind and pattern have broadened a lot - he puts himself in the position of the god of war to think about the problem, and every consideration takes into account the future of the entire fleet.

After the "God of War ......" pastoral song was suppressed by Wu Han, even if he knelt on the ground, he raised his head worriedly and tried to argue again.

"Enough!" Yuan Hua shouted angrily, "Pastoral, when will you be embarrassed!"

He Youde stiffened his face, his face was unhappy, but his heart was turned upside down. He has been in the post of the God of War Temple for ten years, and he has reached the stage of promotion and inspection, he only needs to suppress the pastoral song for Wu Han, and then rescue the chief of staff for Zheng Xuan, then it is a sure thing to be promoted to the deputy director. Whether He Youde can kick in the door and be promoted to the deputy director of the adjudication department and the treatment of the same star god of war depends on the past six months. So he couldn't wait for Yuan Hua to scold the pastoral song a few more words, and he looked at the pastoral song coldly again.

Jiang Lin of the Flowing Fire Camp felt sorry for the uprightness of the pastoral song, and whispered advice: "Pastoral song, the hero does not suffer the immediate loss, and he must know how to advance and retreat as a man, come back to the table quickly!"

Madrigal looked up at Zheng Xuan, feeling that he had loyalty on his shoulders, and he thought of Li Zi's shy kiss, and tenderness echoed in his chest. Is it desperate to die, or is it to be silent with the flow? In his dilemma, he unconsciously glanced back at Li Zi - it had become a habit, as if the like-minded girl could inject strength into him.

For the first time in history, Madrigal met Li Zi's gaze, she bit the corners of her lip with a complicated face, her veins staring at Madrigal, and a pair of dazzling silver needle earrings rippled with her shaking head—only she supported Madrigal.

A stream of blood rushed to his chest, and the pastoral song was determined!

"God of War! You have the grace of knowing me, the fleet is facing a turning point, the selection of the front is a big matter, please discuss it again!" In front of everyone's eyes, the pastoral song said impartially and bluntly without knowing what to do, and he was categorical: "I thought that the chief of staff must not be saved, and the selection of the front must not be ignored, for three reasons! Commander Yuan was tired of fighting, and he had no understanding of the topography ......of Proxima Centauri, one of which was that He Youde was defeated one after another."

"Pastoral!" He Youde was furious, "You have humiliated me repeatedly, do I want to cure you for the crime of bullying?"

Li Zi spoke sharply, belittled He Youde again and again: "Where is the new defeat, as we all know, how can there be bullying?"

He Youde was so angry that his blood was boiling, and he was mixed with jealousy in his rage, as if a few drops of water were sprinkled in boiling oil, and he suddenly lost control, like a mad dog biting people: "Commander Li, don't always speak for him, girls should be self-respecting, and don't be too conspicuous!"

Li Zi was most afraid that the underground love affair would be exposed, her cheeks flushed, and she gritted her silver teeth to restrain the urge to scold the street. It is inconvenient for her to quarrel with He Youde, and the more noisy she is, the more revealing she becomes. When she was ashamed and embarrassed, Mu Ge, who was kneeling in front of Wu Han, suddenly stood up, his figure was like an iron tower, approaching He Youde step by step, questioning as he walked, bursting one word at a time, aggressive:

"Where did the chief rush to ask for help, but as a result, he lost ground in the first defeat of Proxima Centauri, the second defeat and the city was broken, the third defeat and the ship was lost, the military camp was broken by 3,000 elites, and there were 2,000 soldiers buried in the armor and yellow sand—this is not a success? You should not be humiliated? You lost the star of Misha, and asked Ying to go to Proxima Centauri, who gave you the confidence? You don't know anything about Proxima Centauri, you are on the verge of looking for death, I say so, but you have been wronged?"

Pastoral Ge's point-to-point rebuke uncovered He Youde's scars without leaving a scab, He Youde was scolded and fell back two steps, holding down his chest and gasping violently, his facial features were twisted like the scene of a serial car accident, and his face was full of precursors of cerebral hemorrhage and stroke. Pastoral and He Youde became single-handed, so frightened that seven or eight general flags stood up and persuaded them, but no one paid attention to Li Zi's predicament anymore.

He Youde was furious, knowing that he was not reasonable, and there was only one way to go. When he was desperate, he jumped over the wall and shouted hoarsely: "Pastoral has insulted me too much! I vouch for it with my rank, if you reach the star of Misha, you will only be wiped out, and you will only lose worse than me if you have no shame and cut yourself off from the sea of sand! If you don't believe it, you can fight a duel!"

Madrigal's eyes widened, and he was furious. If it is said that it is for Zheng Xuan's sake to plan for the sake of the public, then standing up to protect his wife is for his own interests; He Youde deceived Zheng Xuan, humiliated Li Zi, and sang about public and private, all wanting to dismantle He Youde.

"He Youde, it is absurd to infer the level of Tao by private death match, but! If the duel can convince you, I must force you to apologize to the Valkyrie with a gas light knife!" Madrigal stared at He Youde, ripped off his gloves, and fell on He Youde's leather shoes.

"Pastoral!" Wu Han shot the case, his eyes were wide with anger, and he had to open his halberd: "Presumptuous!"

Jiang Lin of the Flowing Fire Camp saw that Muge's face was full of blood, and knew that he had fought hard, so he couldn't help but leave the table and kneel, and opened his mouth to help: "Where did you use the rank of a two-star martial god to challenge a two-star warrior, and you can fully suppress the third level of Muge." If the chief can be at ease, then the pastoral song is even more courageous. It is reasonable to be reasonable, and it is difficult to add guilt: Jiang Lin, the general flag of the Flowing Fire Battalion, implored Director Wu to calm his anger. ”

Jiang Lin is steady, not only the two-star martial god of the fleet, but also one of the general flags of the Tianshu Legion, commanding several captains, and is well known. He came out to complain to the pastoral song, and immediately brought out three or four general flags, knelt down in unison, and pleaded for the pastoral song.

Wu Han didn't expect that the popularity of Pastoral Song was so good, and when he offended him, he was actually restrained everywhere, his anger jumped higher, but his face was cold. Taking advantage of Zheng Xuan's lack of a mouth, he directly led the fire over to burn Zheng Xuan: "That's right! Level three, a whole three levels worse, he dares to scold his boss who is three levels higher than him, arrogant and domineering, outrageous! I don't know if there is a distinction between upper and lower in the ranks of the god of war, and whether there are basic rules! What is going on with the reform of Zheng Xuan's fleet? The style and discipline are not good, and the military law has become a dead letter, and he has actually raised a general! Zheng Xuan, I am very disappointed in you, and I am very sad. ”

Pastoral turned his head to look at Zheng Xuan, and suddenly realized that these two three-star and two-month tigers had finally torn their faces and began to attack each other.

The audience was silent, the eleven general flags were not qualified to speak at all, and the six legion commanders were even more wise not to come out to stand in line. Pastoral is the fuse, and his identity is so complicated that he can't recklessly open his mouth and interrupt Zheng Xuan's words, then he really doesn't know the current affairs.

Wu Han's questioning of Zheng Xuan's reform achievements on behalf of the God of War Temple can be regarded as a blow to the cobra's fangs. However, Zheng Xuan took a good time, smiled slightly, spread out his battle robe neatly, and replied to Wu Han politely: "You misunderstood, this move of pastoral song reflects the clarity of discipline, the strictness of military law, and the effectiveness of reform. Why do you say that? Because I think that Madrigal's opinion is correct, I agree to reconsider the matter of electing the front, and Madrigal would rather be subject to military law, and he must put forward correct opinions, which shows that the style and discipline are clear. Why did Madrigal get beaten? Because his attitude was undesirable, he himself would later take a hundred military sticks, which was commonplace, and it was obvious that military law was very severe. Even if he is just a humble two-star samurai, he will not hesitate to receive punishment and death and bitterly state the benefits and disadvantages, which shows the fruits of reform. Having said that, the pastoral song has both the strategy of judging right and wrong, the loyalty of the ancient countrymen, and the courage to be born and die, and he will become a pillar one day. If Director Wu has the heart of public loyalty to the country, don't make it too difficult for him. ”

Zheng Xuan's last word "yo" almost coaxed Li Zi's laughter. Wu Han was speechless by Zheng Xuan, and then he realized that he underestimated Zheng Xuan's tongue, hating Zheng Xuan for not revealing it, and hating himself for reading too little, and he couldn't debate at the critical moment, so he had to take over the hat of "public loyalty to the country" and put it on honestly, pretending to be serious and going down the stairs: "Since the pastoral songs have the consciousness of receiving punishment, there is nothing to say." Let's talk about the election of the front. ”

Pastoral admired Zheng Xuan's wrist so much that he threw himself to the ground. Zheng Xuan was able to elegantly turn the war into invisible, and only used a hundred military sticks to keep the pastoral song, and sat back and watched the other party be angry and corrupt, which was really a Confucian general.

He Youde actually stared at Wu Han, as if a dog was surprised that the owner did not stand up for it. Yuan Hua was quite sensible, and knew that if he continued to make trouble, he would lose face for his master, so he hurriedly persuaded He Youde to sit down and listen to the tune, and he himself knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach. Several other general flags were also overjoyed, and sat down with Jiang Linla's pastoral song, just as if nothing happened.

Except for some meaningless voices such as "calm anger" and "don't hurt and be angry", none of the five corps commanders made a clear statement, and they all sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Zheng Xuan said to Wu Han quietly: "The selection of the front is very important, whether we should send more troops, please Director Wu talk about his ideas on the premise of fully listening to the voice of the grassroots." ”

Wu Han knew that Zheng Xuan was saving face for him, and he was suddenly in a better mood, and when he was still groaning, He Youde stood up again and asked: "Report to the director, the god of war, Pastoral has insulted me repeatedly, even if I don't care about Pastoral Song, these words will be spread, and I will not be able to gain a foothold in my post." Since the general banners do not approve of me fighting a duel with Madrigal, it is better to send the trap camp to Proxima Centauri with me, and make a life-and-death bet, and the one who kills the most enemies wins, and the loser will either apologize with death or give up three things. ”

"What three?" said Madrigal, standing up and facing each other.

He Youde was pampered and arrogant, with a state of victory, and raised his chin and sang: "Honor, dignity, woman." ”

Jiang Lin and the other general flags looked at each other, only feeling ridiculous. Although it is said that the life and death gambling contract supports this kind of gambling method, I have never seen such a literary clause. But when Ho Youde stared at Madrigal, he already sensed Madrigal's anger rising—he was sure that if Madrigal lost, he would not hesitate to defend all three things, even if the other option was suicide.

In this way, Zheng Xuan can't blame He Youde for forcing Muge to death.

It can be said that as long as the gambling contract is established, the pastoral will definitely die, and He Youde can calmly get away with it. Yuan Hua also quietly cast an approving glance at He Youde, admired He Youde's knowledge of himself and his opponent, and figured out the character of the pastoral song.

If Zheng Xuan and Wu Han open their mouths to agree, then everything is over. To save the madrigal, it must be interrupted. Li Zi made up her mind and was ready to risk everything to stop the bet, but before Li Zi could speak, another majestic voice sounded: "It's the same robe, why kill somewhere." If you're not happy, let Pastoral apologize to you on the spot. ”

Li Zi looked over, and it turned out to be the Legion Commander who was talking—it was Bi Fang, the Legion Commander of the Thor Legion.

The Thor Legion can be called half of the army, only the broken barracks are mobile forces, the dragoon battalions and the Shenwei battalions are equipped with heavy mecha units, and the cost of delivering them to the battlefield is huge, and there are many confidential technologies, so the Thor Legion is directly responsible to Zheng Xuan, and rarely puts it into alien operations, basically only sending the broken barracks to fire support. He Youde relied on his qualifications and background to reorganize the broken military camp.

On the other hand, the boss of the Thor Legion also had a strong temper, so he was the first to sit still, and he relied on the fact that he was half of He Youde's boss, so he opened his mouth to calm down.

He Youde didn't buy it: "Commander Bi, you haven't been humiliated by splitting your head and covering your face, so you don't understand my feelings." It's a matter of samurai honor and disgrace, and I can't tolerate it. If you don't win, your mother would rather die. ”

Li Zi looked at the pastoral song anxiously, thinking that the pastoral would go down the steps according to Bi Fang's meaning, but the pastoral song frightened her with a word.

The pastoral song said categorically: "Glory is my life, dignity is my blood, and red face is my heart." If I endure humiliation and steal my life under such terms, it is better to evaporate in the sky. Where is the chief, I accept your gambling contract, ask the god of war to imprint a spiritual seal on me, witness the number of enemies killed, and be a notary public for me. ”

This reverberation made Wu Han look sideways, Zheng Xuan's head, and the rest of the general flags were all convinced.

What she feared most happened. She admired the madrigal's anger, but also hated the madrigal's being too upright, and actually accepted a man who was three levels higher than him to challenge him, how could this win? When she heard "the red face is my heart", she only felt that there were stars in front of her, and her feelings for the madrigal became more and more complicated, and she was full of admiration, concern, worry, heartache, and anger, and she couldn't wait to pick up his ears now and ask him why he was so impulsive.

Yuan Hua and Yuan Tan almost clapped their hands to celebrate. He Youde was ecstatic in his heart, and he couldn't wait to speed up time, and he couldn't wait to see the scene of the madrigal's defeat. But on the surface, He Youde still made a promise of "fairness and justice, no bullying" to the pastoral song, and then asked Zheng Xuan to seal the spiritual seal and notarize the number of enemies killed.

At this point, Zheng Xuan was helpless, and under the urging of Wu Han, he became a notary. He knew that Pastoral had something unique, and at this time he could only hope for Madrigal's intelligence and strategy.

Gambling on life and death was extremely popular in the vindictive Middle Ages. Upon entering the Age of Discovery, the medieval cult of duels haunted the Pantheon's consciousness: maidens would be thrilled by men's duels, and teenagers would be bloodied for glory without hesitation. Under this consensus, the life-and-death bet between Madrigal and He Youde was made on a serious occasion, and it has gone beyond the definition of "bet" itself.

And although Li Zi hates Madrigal's "reckless impulsiveness", her starting point is still afraid of Madrigal's defeat, remove this layer of worry, when she hears Madrigal's duel for her, her whole person is still a little fluttering, if Madrigal wins, it is estimated that she will be carried away by double happiness.

The matter of selecting the front was then decided, with Yuan Hua leading the trapping camp of the Meteor Legion, the forward battalion and the broken barracks of the Thor Legion mixed together, and merged with the Taiyue battalion to form an army front; two cruisers, one battle cruiser, three destroyers, and three raid ships of the Tianshu Legion served as fleet support, responsible for transporting the army and fighting for air supremacy.

Bi Fang also suggested that the participants keep the gambling contract confidential. It turned out that he was too upright, because less than ten minutes after the adjournment, the underground bookmaker had already speculated the odds of Madrigal to He Youde to 14:1, and maintained an upward trend. Obviously, everyone thinks that buying He Youde is as safe as depositing money in the bank to raise interest. There are extreme punters clamoring that the bank may fail, but Ho Youde will never lose.

Even if Li Zi didn't know about gambling, she was depressed. She didn't dare to shed tears in front of the madrigal, so she held back until she went home, and suddenly burst into tears, crying to Junyi that the madrigor had not lived for a few days. Junyi gently comforted Li Zi, and then lost all her salary to Madrigal.

"Chestnuts don't cry," Junyi coaxed Li Zi confidently, "Sister will accompany you through the period of falling out of love, the fund is ready for chestnuts." It's okay, it's okay, the sadness of falling out of love can be completely compensated for by the joy of spending money. ”

"That's Lao Tzu's first love!" Li Zi was grief-stricken, calling herself Lao Tzu.

"If it's the first love, the budget has to be doubled. Junyi patted Li Zi on the shoulder and thought sadly, I didn't have a young lady to comfort me when I fell out of love, let alone the lovelorn fund.
