Chapter 36: The General Keeps His Word

The night slipped away, the rain stopped, the sun rose and shone on the earth, and the crystal dew shook on the grass leaves, greeting the sun and blooming with smiling faces.

On the earth, the people who had been busy all night, dragging their tired bodies, their wooden faces without a smile of victory, the enemy retreated, leaving behind the corpses of the other party, their own people, falling on the muddy ground, the skins soaked in water swelled, wrapped in pale flesh, unable to distinguish whose arms and thighs, drowned in red blood, revealing white bones.

Brushing the rain from his hair, he walked past the busy crowd and walked straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, where was the general's tent. At this time, the war is over for the time being, and it is also time to meet the general.

"Report to the general, the battle damage statistics are out. "Approaching the tent, there was a tired voice from inside.

"How much?" The voice in the lack of qi was a little old, but it was still loud.

"Our army suffered 5,382 casualties and 8,034 enemy casualties. ”

"Hmm...... What about cannon fodder battalions?"

The voice inside the "cannon fodder battalion ......" hesitated, "The cannon fodder battalion has all been destroyed." ”

"How many?"

"Four thousand six hundred and twenty-three. ”

"Hehe......"

"General, the main loss of the cannon fodder battalion is ...... when the enemy first attacked him"

"Okay, I got it. The general waved his men back. "Come in, I've been standing outside for a while. ”

The general chuckled as he watched as Wen Chuan entered, the smile on his face did not show any sadness at all, as if the battle damage he had just heard was not his men, but the corpses left by the enemy.

"Kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, this is war. The general whispered, as if to explain to Wen Chuanting.

"Your promise. Ask Chuanting did not answer, and looked directly at the other party.

"Of course, you can take them. The general replied directly, and did not say anything polite. "Come on, take those three imps. ”

"Yes, General. The herald outside the door replied softly, and walked slowly away.

"Sit. The general waved his hand, and seeing that Wen Chuan was quite indifferent, he just laughed lightly. Flipping through the animal skin documents on the table, he asked casually: "Which tribe are you from? With a master like you, I think the tribe will not be nameless, how can it be related to those three little ghosts?"

"Gong Hou. The answer was concise, a little unreasonable, and the sideways body allowed the vision to fully see the situation outside the tent.

The general didn't care about the coldness of the question, and was still speechless, "What about the three little ghosts?"

"Yes. ”

Seeing that Wen Chuanting had no interest in speaking, the general stopped talking, and focused on the animal skin in his hand.

The two men were silent until the arrival of the commanding soldier.

"General, the man has been brought. ”

"Stand down. The general looked up, not glancing at the soldiers, but swept his eyes over the three children who had entered.

"Big Brother ......"

"Big brother, are you okay?" The three of them entered the tent, swept over the general sitting at the back of the table, focused their eyes on Wen Chuanting, and scrambled to ask.

"It's fine. Are you okay?" asked Chuanting to smile, his eyes swept over the three of them one by one, and he was relieved to see that the three of them had no hair defects.

"The general kept his promise, and we won't bother. Wen Chuanting turned back to the general who was smiling at the four of them.

"I'm not in a hurry, I've been a busy night, and I haven't thanked you for your help. The general got up.

"No, it's just an exchange. Wen Chuanting shook his head and declined the general's hospitality.

"Hehe, I still have to thank you. Someone ......," the general stopped the four of them, turned his head and shouted out of the tent.

"General. ”

"Take them down to wash up and prepare their meals. "The general was heroic, and the four of them couldn't resist it, so they had to stay. After a meal, the four of them walked lightly, each with a new and bright long knife pinned to their waists, the blade shining sharply in the sun.

"General, why don't you leave them behind?" Rukawa Tetsuki asked softly, standing behind the general.

"Hehe, what are your odds of winning?"

"Thirty percent. ”

"Sancheng, ah......"

"General, I have thirty percent, if I add a few brothers......"

The general shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and turned to walk into the tent. "In a big battle, we have lost a lot, if we keep him, maybe more brothers will fall, it's not worth it. ”

"Isn't it worth it?" Rukawa Tetsuki looked at the blurred figures of the four from afar, chewing in his mouth.

For the behind, Wen Chuanting didn't pay attention, he wouldn't know what was going on when they were far away from this battlefield, and he wouldn't know what was said to him.

"Big brother, where have you been in the past ten years?" Ju Mang asked as he walked bauntingly.

"Here. ”

"Here?" the three of them wondered, and their eyes were on him.

"Yes, here. There was some nostalgia in Wen Chuanting's eyes, and the bits and pieces of those ten years here flowed in his mind. Every day, every month, every year, countless people fall here, and endless people bury their bones in the wilderness. The earth here is filled with blood all the time, and the air is filled with blood.

The three of them were puzzled, look at him, look at the land, look at the back, there is a military camp, it is a battlefield, the sound of fighting last night is full of ears, and they have no sleep all night, they understand a little. This place, the place they had just left, was once the place where their eldest brother lived, the battlefield where they fought, the place where their eldest brother's blood was infected. This is also the reason why they have not heard of it, and they have not heard the information of their eldest brother from the mouth of the traveling merchant.

The battlefield is a battlefield of fighting, a bloody battlefield, and they are glad that on the first day of the cannon fodder battalion, their eldest brother was able to arrive in time to take them away from the tiger's mouth and save them from battlefield fighting. They were afraid that if they hadn't hid behind the barracks early, they would have fallen in the crowd.

Wen Chuanting was scared and trembling in his heart, if he hadn't been one step faster, perhaps, he would never see the three of them again, and in the evening, the ending would be different, in front of him, it would not be three people who were jumping around, it would be three cold corpses, maybe it would not be complete.

"Big brother, where are we going?" Ju Mang was still full of energy, jumping up and down to ask, Candle was silent, quietly following and walking, next to him, was Zhu Rong, his eyes kept scanning around, not knowing what he was looking for.

"Where to go? to Dadu. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and a small and weak figure flashed, and his dazed steps firmly stepped on the ground.

"Go to Dadu, okay, we haven't seen my sister for a long time!" Ju Mang cheered happily.

"It's your sister, my sister. Zhu Rong, whose eyes were scanning around, interjected.

"Our two sisters. ”

"Sister!"

A trace of helplessness flashed in the candle's eyes, and the corners of Wen Chuanting's mouth turned up, flashing a smile. The noise echoed through the empty field, wafting behind them.
