It was night, and the army stayed outside Wenqu County at night.

Further on, there is the Pingwolf defense line that hoarded the 200,000 troops of the imperial court......

Zhang Chu stayed up all night and was busy planning the route of the camp, checking and filling in the gaps, and preventing the camp robbery.

The midnight wind was fierce, and the flags in the camp were rolled up and fluttering, and a dirty lantern patrolling the camp was also flickering in the wind, like a twinkling star in the sky.

Zhang Chu, who patrolled to the walled wall, couldn't help but stop, looking down at the starry camp, and suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Master Chu, the wind is blowing. ”

Da Liu appeared behind him with Zhang Chu's cloak in his arms and gently draped the cloak onto his back.

Zhang Chu looked at the extra bright red cloak on his shoulder, stretched out his hand to pull it together, and suddenly asked, "Da Liu, how many years have you been with me?"

Da Liu was stunned, and pretended to smile easily: "It's been almost ten years......"

If you want to say that in the Beiping League, the one who touches Zhang Chu's temper the most is naturally the mule.

But it can be said that the one who understands Zhang Chu's mind the most is not a mule, but Da Liu.

Da Liu followed Zhang Chu, fought in the south and the north, and went to the soup to fight the fire.

For a long time, Zhang Chu's food, clothing, housing and transportation were all arranged by Da Liu, and there was never a mistake.

If he understands Zhang Chu's thoughts, how can he take care of Zhang Chu so comprehensively?

At this moment, at this time, at this time.

Zhang Chu suddenly asked this.

How could Da Liu not know that his eldest brother's mind was a little heavy again?

"Has it been so long?"

Zhang Chu sighed lightly and muttered softly: "I'm sad that I can't remember anything......"

Coming out of Taipingguan, he was trying to remember the days when they were in Jintian Mansion all the way.

However, no matter how he recalled, what he remembered was the appearance of Jintianfu after it was occupied by the Northern Barbarians, and the city was broken and deep in vegetation.

Otherwise, it would be corpses all over the ground, and the bright red rain mixed with human blood would not reach the knees of purgatory.

I can't recall the Jintian Mansion before the Northern Barbarians entered the city.

Reminiscing about the time when Yu Er.

I can only think of the appearance of Yu Er leaning on his waist, with a dry tobacco rod inserted in his waist, and hanging on the empty right arm and arm tube.

I can't remember the full appearance of Yu Er when he went out with a knife to cut people.

There are too many cruel and tribulating memories, and those beautiful memories that seem to be shining with golden soft light have been infinitely stretched and pushed away......

Zhang Chu felt that he might be old.

......

"Da Liu, do you have any plans for the future?"

Da Liu was hesitating what to say, and when he heard this, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "You have kicked me to the Red Flower Department, what else can I do, can't I kick me to Nanshan Prefecture to be the branch master, right?"

Zhang Chu smiled helplessly.

This guy is really angry about kicking him to the Red Flower Department as a minister, and he complains when he gets the opportunity.

"I don't mean that, I just want to ask you, is there anything you want to do?

Da Liu was a little confused, and asked suspiciously: "Who else can you follow if you don't follow?"

Zhang Chu said softly: "Don't you have the heart to go out and set up your own door?"

Da Liu shook his head again and again without thinking about it: "You know that I am cowardly, don't scare me, you really want to dislike me, can't I go to Nanshan Prefecture to be the branch master?"

Zhang Chu glanced back at him with disdain: "That's all you have to say......"

Da Liu looked at Zhang Chu strangely: "I'm about to become a branch master, and I haven't come out yet?"

Zhang Chu was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say when he was full of words, and finally turned into a heavy sigh......

He stared at the flowing sea of stars and was speechless for a long time.

He didn't speak, and Da Liu just stood with him.

It's like his shadow.

After a long time.

Da Liu Cai heard the eldest brother ask again: "Da Liu, if one day I don't become the leader of our Beiping League, what will you do?"

Da Liu was stunned, "If you don't be the leader of the alliance, who will?"

Zhang Chu thought for a while and said: "The mule can't be the leader of the alliance, maybe the deputy leader of the alliance Liang has to do it first, and when Jintian and Taiping grow up, then see which of the two brothers is willing to do ......it."

Da Liu: "What about you?"

This time, Zhang Chu thought about it for a long time before he smiled and said, "I may just go back to Allsky Mansion and continue to sell my chop soup......

The idea of retiring from the rivers and lakes has been there for him a long time ago.

It's just that I always felt that it wasn't the right time yet.

It's not time yet......

I have to give Xiao Jintian and Xiao Taiping to guard the family business.

When a father is a father, he does not force his children to take over his own class.

Anyway, it's not a good job to be calculated or calculated by others.

But you have to keep a place and ask your children if they want it.

Throw the pot out now, what if Xiao Jintian and Xiao Taiping want to grow up?

You can't get it back, can you?

How hurtful is that......

However, in the past two years, the deceased friend passed away.

From the black abyss.

to Liu Wu.

and then to Yu Er.

One after the other......

really took away the little bit of heart left in Zhang Chu's heart.

Zhang Chu always had a feeling during this time: his era has come to an end, and it's time to retreat bravely......

If you don't have this kind of thought.

With a group of rabble who don't have four or six children, they are also worthy of taking the position of the leader of the Xuanbei Martial Arts Alliance from Zhang Chu's hands?

How many heads did they have enough for him to cut off?

If other people in the Beiping League heard Zhang Chu's words, they were afraid that they would immediately admonish each other with death, and persuaded Zhang Chu to dispel this idea, cheer up, and lead the Beiping League to develop its grand plans......

After hearing this, Da Liu was not surprised at all.

Although Zhang Chu never said these words to him.

But a long time ago, he already knew that his eldest brother had such a mind in his heart.

He knew it since he returned from the Northern Xinjiang War last year.

This time, Da Liu also thought for a long time, and then said cautiously: "If Deputy Alliance Master Liang is the alliance leader, then I may have to keep until the day when Young Master Taiping sits firmly in the position of alliance leader, and then go to you and be the second shopkeeper for you...... Don't get paid. ”

"Poof. ”

Zhang Chu couldn't help laughing, turned around and rubbed Da Liu's bun vigorously: "You, you, you're also a seven-foot man, and you're still going to sell yourself to my old Zhang family?"

Da Liu grinned and didn't answer.

It's like Zhang Chu told him that he didn't want to continue to be the leader of the Beiping League.

His words only told Zhang Chu about his decision, and he did not mean to ask Zhang Chu's opinion.

Zhang Chu didn't persuade him, turned his head and looked down at the camp, and muttered in a low voice: "Wait a little longer!"

"I've waited a while. ”

"I don't care about anything!"

There are talents from all generations.

Generations have had careerists.

He takes care of the moment.

As for the future, let the people in the future take care of it......
