The warriors hastily packed up the booty, and simply built a bonfire in the woods, and slaughtered several horses that had been badly wounded in the battle and roasted them, and for a time they were also very happy.

"General, isn't there a bear village in front, and if there is a bear village, there will be a bear villager. Couldn't you get some villagers to borrow some food and water when you got there, and you have to cook here at the risk of being discovered by Chloe's soldiers?"

The eagle-eyed General Montaigne was chewing a large piece of leg meat in his mouth, and his mouth was full of oil, and he ate it with relish, only to see that he had a large piece of horse leg in his left hand and a piece of preserved meat in his right hand, and he only shouted: "Quickly, bring me the best wine"

Wine and fat were a luxury even in the Imperial Army, and only generals with distinguished status and outstanding military achievements deserved to enjoy it. Today's escape journey, although there is less of that warm atmosphere, but in the summer dry forest, under the three stars of the oblique moon, listening to the silence of the gonghou and blowing the breeze, it is also interesting.

The general seemed to have just come back from the food, and with a full burp, he said, "What were you talking about just now, young marshal?"

"Alas......." Ao Han sighed and said to him depressedly: "This is the difference between the teacher and the uncle, the teacher will be very calm no matter where he is, and once the uncle changes the environment, the mentality will immediately disperse"

"Huh? I'm going to object, what kind of environment is wrong to do what kind of thing, you must know that my brother is too rigid so there is no woman until now, although I am not as good as my brother in the formation of troops...... Yes, though"

"You...... Have a wife?" At this time, Ao Han was strange, he had never heard such gossip in the army, he had always been in contact with swordsmanship, loyalty, the art of war, formation, strategy and other advanced knowledge, and he was interested in this kind of Riba people for the first time.

"Eh, it's not counting, it's just a village woman, and she already has a baby."

"Shenma, you don't even let go of other people's wives" Ao Han was shocked, and slapped his palm on the sword that was on his waist.

At this moment, everyone was almost shocked, and looked at the young knight in a daze. It seems that it was at this time that he finally got to know this figure named the young marshal, and the young marshal glanced at this group of soldiers and ruffians lightly, and then turned his eyes to stare at General Montaigne.

When his gaze swept over their faces, he saw that most of their expressions were surprised, vigilant, and if ordinary people were afraid that they would have to compromise a little bit, but this person was Ao Han, the son of an arrogant general, who made a big fuss about the Holy See at the age of 13, tamed the Gripen War Horse at the age of 15, and won the medal personally awarded by the emperor at the age of 18, only half a step away from the fiefdom knight. I'm afraid of popping 0

And at the age of 18, it was the time when the young man of a military general's family was like a rainbow.

Ao Han only saw the general glaring at his subordinates fiercely, and his subordinates immediately understood, and continued to eat by themselves, as if nothing happened. Thinking that this General Montaigne was as loyal as his brother, and that he was a good general with a skill, he said slowly.

"Speak, aren't you?"

"I'm not..... I didn't, I, I didn't let go..... No, I mean she doesn't have a husband, his husband was taken by the military to fight a few years ago, and then died on the battlefield, I see that she is alone with a child, and I pity her ......"

"So you're pitiful to bed!" Ao Han's face suddenly turned iron-blue, extremely serious, he was really the son of Aoshi, and he inherited the majesty of Aoshi General since he was a child.

"No, young marshal!"

"What is not, I think it is! You know that you have violated the Imperial Military Code, 'Do not flirt with or bully the people's daughters, if there is a offender, the first warning, the second expulsion from the military and hard labor, and the third crime should be beheaded'" Ao Han has not understood human feelings since he was a child, but he is familiar with the Imperial Code, and he knows it by heart, and he will use it easily today. "Say, how many times have you pitied her?"

"No, not what you think. She was voluntary, and I compensated her afterwards."

"You say that she is voluntary, is it voluntary? Do you know how many people are now relying on their position in the army to prey on the common people in groups, bullying men and women, and forcing good people to become prostitutes, many people who have been bullied do not dare to tell the truth even if they are unhappy in their hearts, for fear of being retaliated against by you afterwards, these scum ....." Ao Han said righteously, "I want to catch one when I see one!"

Ao Han hated those bureaucrats the most in his life, he heard his uncle say when he was a child that some bureaucrats relied on the name of the empire to oppress those weak and helpless people, although the imperial code explicitly prohibited such behavior, but there was always a lack of mandatory supervision departments.

What he didn't expect was that this kind of behavior would happen right next to him, when he didn't pay attention.

"Tell me, how did you know this poor woman" Although Ao Han was indignant for a while, he knew that in this case, especially when the person opposite was still his savior, he really couldn't have an attack. So, he looked up at the tall and burly general in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and said plainly.

"This ......"

Seeing that the general's face was flushed, and he couldn't speak clearly, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, thinking that he didn't feel so sad to see you when dealing with the enemy, but he talked to me as if he had been holding back for a long time.

"Alas, it's hard to put into words...... Young marshal, you know, in fact, everything happened in the Westlands."

"Westside?"

"The west of the Great Wall is called the West Realm, the West Border is where you were born, the reason why you don't think there is anything wrong is because your father used to be the commander of the three armies, your uncle was a prince, and you have been deeply loved by the emperor since childhood."

Montaigne said as he tore off a piece of leg flesh and stuffed it into Ao Han's hand, sighing for a long time before saying:

"The world is not fair to everyone, and under the Yang Empire, there are not only hundreds of millions of people, but also more than 50 million people of the guilty country......"

The general said slowly, only to hear that Ao Han's heart was like a turbulent wave, surging and surging.

"What do you mean, people of a sinful nation?"

"When the Sunset Empire had not yet become the overlord of the Demon Fall, it was still a small fishing village, squeezed out and oppressed by the surrounding powers, but no one thought that today, a thousand years later, it would become a great empire that spans the north and the south and sets foot on the four seas and eight wildernesses. ”

And those countries that used to bully the empire are now all annexed by the empire, but the historical humiliation cannot be forgotten in a short time, so these countries have become sinful countries, and their people have also been implicated. Alas, when I knew her, her husband was dragged into the army to join the vanguard of the Fifth Expedition to the West, and then it was not long before he returned his armor with a large hole in it as the only consolation. And at that time, she was still pregnant with Rokka, fantasizing about her husband's achievements, wearing a white silk robe and riding a golden horse to pick her up......"

At this time, he had already shed two lines of turbid tears, and Ao Han's eyes rolled, and he muttered.

"Indeed, the people of the sinful nation"

"Since the revision of the imperial code by Emperor Esther, the people of all countries that have been enemies of the empire must unconditionally transport grain and grass materials for the imperial military day and night, and in wartime they must be recruited more than people from other places, such as building the Great Wall, digging the emperor's tomb, cultivating the horse road, the temple of the beast god, digging the Changyi River and other heavy conscription must also grab a large number of young men from their villages and towns."

"Young marshal, don't you listen to me continue to tell me the story with her?"

"Hmph, I have to make sure if you really violated the rules of the Imperial Codex, once you fully comply, the punishment can be extended but it must be indispensable"

Although he said that, he no longer had the heart to convict the general, it was purely a hobby of gossip.

"Hehe, young marshal, you see that this situation will be spared, even the empire regards you as an enemy, and you still treat the empire as long and the empire short ....."

"But it's my motherland," said Ao Han, who was about to stand up solemnly.

"Don't, don't be angry, I won't say it" The general hurriedly spared

"No, you're going to say, you're going to tell you exactly how you know her and how you pity her."

"The first time I saw her, she was being bullied by an Imperial non-commissioned officer," the general glanced at Ao Han and fell into memory. He continued:

At that time, I heard her say that her husband died in the Western Expedition, and the family had no source of livelihood, so in order to find a way out, she did not hesitate to risk being molested by the imperial non-commissioned officers every day, and pulled the sweet steamed buns to the school yard to sell to those soldiers, who seemed to like the steamed buns she made. ”

The general sighed, and continued:

"But in fact, at that time, the imperial soldiers received their salaries, and they all had spare money and nowhere to spend, and they all wanted to find a woman to vent their anger, and the first time they saw such a beautiful woman was sought after at first, but the woman thought that those soldiers liked to eat the steamed buns she made, not like her herself, because every time the soldiers came to the soldiers, although they were flowery, they would always buy a few steamed buns, and over time, she was not very interested in the teasing of these soldiers, thinking that they were just playing, but after she refused several times, no one went to buy her steamed buns, and only then did she know that they were not made by themselves。 ”

The general ate another piece of preserved meat, looked at Ao Han who was close at hand with regret, and ate it one bite at a time.

"However, there are several people in the army who are famous for their arrogance at this time, but they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy her steamed buns, they have ghosts, each took the opportunity to tease her when buying steamed buns, and threatened her that she is a citizen of a sinful country, the empire will not pity them, if you want to continue to do business here, you have to become their woman, if you don't obey, don't want to do business here, although the woman is helpless, but for the sake of life, she has to pretend to be half-pushed, but she has always refused to take the last step, and finally the man's various methods have been exhausted, and finally he can't stand this kind of hot and cold simply pushed, and I happened to be bumped into at the entrance of the school field after completing the training task, ”

The general's eyes widened, and his breath was majestic, as if he was angry

"I saw ....... darkest scene in the whole empire, it was clear that the woman was helpless and pitiful, but she was regarded by passers-by as pretending to be pitiful, accusing her of being vicious and not abiding by women's morals, saying that she was a vixen who seduced a married man, and that she was a citizen of a sinful country and deserved to die. But even if they just said it, they also moved their hands, and the one who took the lead directly kicked her in the chest, kicking her to the ground, but with a military fist, and those unaware crowds saw it and shouted: 'Fight well, hit hard!'"

When Ao Han heard this, he thought of his family being wronged and scolded, and without saying a word, his fists were clenched and rattled. I thought that sure enough, the point came.

The general looked at it, but laughed three times

"Hahaha, I was kind enough to help her out of the siege, I was a punch that made the troublesome mouth full of teeth, fell to the ground unconscious, and the brothers behind me also saw that I was doing it with others, and saw that they still wanted to fight back, and they didn't say a word to support me, and after a while, they all left it down, and they also knew that they were disgusted and ran away on their own, and the handsome also punished me heavily for this matter, saying that I was fighting privately, and punished me to go to the cooking department to do a month of hard labor. But what was the result of my exchange, just: a cold nosy, a cat crying mouse pretending! I really didn't help her, I didn't help her, I had to watch her stagger away."

"You'd better help her to the end, otherwise when I go back, I will definitely use the Imperial Code to oppress the people and punish you to the Cooking Department for another month"

"Don't, did I say I didn't help her? Young marshal, you have to know that I can't do those jobs of serving people since I was a child, and the last time I finished the cooking department, the soldiers of the whole army almost didn't knock on the pot and beat the pot and cheered in unison. You know, I know exactly what they're eating all day long......"

Ao Han interrupted him and looked at him earnestly

"Go on, how did you get her to bed with pity?"

"Ahem, in fact, how can it be so serious, it's just that brothers, everyone is blessed and enjoys hardships together, seeing that I have been punished, my heart is also uncomfortable, and I am indignant when I see that woman speaking coldly to me, and I want to find her to theorize. The next day, he personally told us the group of ruffians who took the lead in disturbing military discipline separately, and it turned out that the group of initiators were the soldiers raised by the Chloe family in the army, only their soldiers were not capable and so rampant, and a group of us were angry when they heard it, so they taught the bunch of rabbit cubs a hard lesson when the big marshal turned a blind eye, only to make them completely afraid of us, and later even saw the poor woman and walked around in fright。 ”

"And then the woman agreed to work with you in bed when she saw that you were chivalrous and not too frustrated?"

"What do you mean by not too frustration? Back then, my brother and I were called the Montessori Twin Heroes in the army, and my appearance was at least the best choice in the army."

"Okay, don't be stinky, I don't know what you look like, I told my dad when I first saw you!

"That's your group of people who look like thieves and thieves like Westerners don't know how to appreciate it, and we people in Mobei are all beautiful with braids"

"Haha, it's so ugly, if you have a hundred ugly, then ninety of them are out of your bird's braid"

"This ..... I'm going to object, at least my face shape is okay, even if 90 of them are ugly on the braids, the remaining 10 will always be beautiful for me."

"Objections are invalid! You're ugly, big ugly bird!"

"Then I'll go on," the general took a sip of a bottle of turbid wine that had been scavenged from Chloe's soldiers, "Ah, it's been a long time since I've had such a good time as I am today!"

"Drink?" The general handed the wine to Aohan At present, the general's impression of the marshal is not to drink, which cannot be said to be a pity, wine has been a magical thing since ancient times. There is a saying that heroes with wine also talk about the importance of wine, under the influence of his father, of course, it is impossible for Ao Han to drink, but there are no absolutes, maybe Ao Han wants to try to drink.

"I don't drink. Military law stipulates that if you are drunk, you will make a mistake, and you should be punished!"

Sure enough, it was exactly as I imagined. The people of the Ao family don't drink alcohol.

"But today I give you permission to drink, then I have to drink it too, so that I will not cover up the sin, we are all sins and deserve to be beheaded, and no one is better than the other"

Saying that, Ao Han stretched out his hand to take it, and took a big sip in one breath, at that time, he drank it with pride, but he didn't want this wine to be different from ordinary water, and he poured it down vigorously, first of all, his throat couldn't stand it, and then his breath was forked, and the wine was poured into his lungs, choking him to cough violently.

"cough cough cough, cough cough........ how to ........ this......cough, wine, cough cough is so bad to drink, cough cough still drink"

Ao Han's face was flushed, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was full of bitterness.

The general couldn't help but smile when he saw it:

"The first time I drank a bar, the first time I drank alcohol, although it was not as exaggerated as you, I wanted to take a big sip in one breath, but I was not very used to it. Wine, this thing, that's it, it's more bitter than sweet, but it's good to get the feeling after drinking. ”

When Ao Han saw it, his heart immediately felt uncomfortable, and he hurriedly retorted:

"What does it feel like? Is it the feeling that makes you bold enough to violate military discipline?!"

After a while, seeing that he coughed dryly, he said slowly:

"I don't like the taste of wine, and I don't like that feeling, so don't drink it in the future."

The general muttered in his heart that this guy is rude, he doesn't drink but tells others not to drink, how do you know that the deep meaning of the wine is not in the wine itself, everyone knows that the Ao family doesn't drink but drinks in front of their eyes, it's really a piano to the cow.

At this time, General Montaigne continued, and his eyes sank into his sockets when he talked about the series of past events, and it turned out that the woman had not been bullied since Montaigne had been helped by Montaigne, but she was reluctant to stay here and continue to make a living. After that, I hadn't seen her for years, and the last time I saw her in the school yard was watching her slowly leave.

"Well, Uncle Hawkeye, what happened then?"

"I'm so sleepy, let's talk about it tomorrow night, we have to hurry tomorrow. After sleeping until he was halfway asleep, the general suddenly asked in a matter-of-fact manner: "By the way, young marshal, where is our ultimate goal?" After Xiaoxiong Village, the sunset in the imperial capital to the north, and the forest in the lower reaches of the Changyi River to the south, the former is heavily guarded and the fortress is forested, but the latter is relatively loose in military defense, and it is best to choose the south to escape from the pursuit of the empire. ”

Ao Han thought about this question, I have been thinking about it day and night recently, thinking deeply, knowing that this matter is not a choice, choosing to go north is difficult, avenging my father, facing the life journey of a strong enemy, it is extremely easy to go south, but it is difficult to do anything big in a lifetime.

Now that the general has broken his word, it is finally time for him to make a choice.

"Heading North"
