Chapter 35 This place of peace is my home

Wang Lin raised his hand slightly and was stunned in the air, the corners of his mouth twitched, confirming that the girl was really gone, Chang breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up his clothes, and left the big tent.

It was already dark, and the silver glow sprinkled by a bright moon in the sky could not compare to the bonfires that abound in this camp of the Broken Mountain, and the entire camp was as bright as day, and there was not the slightest darkness to be found.

Wang Lin walked to a soldier on duty outside the tent he had just walked out of, the soldier saw him, his face was a little nervous, obviously Wang Lin's killing of Chen Jinjue was no secret in this Broken Mountain camp.

"Brother Tai, may I ask in which direction is Marshal Cao's main account?" Wang Lin asked politely

The soldier said with a little nervousness: "You, you go west, and you will be there for about a mile." “

Wang Lin hugged his fists in thanks, and then was about to leave, when suddenly the voice of the soldier behind him sounded, and his voice was slightly cramped: "Are you Wang Lin?"

Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the soldier and nodded.

"Did you kill Captain Chen?"

Wang Lin didn't know if he was friend or foe when he asked this sentence, but he still replied solemnly: "I killed it." ”

The soldier's eyes suddenly flashed with enthusiasm and said: "It turns out that it is really you, you are the hero of our border army!"

Wang Lin was a little confused, and looked at the soldier in confusion.

"Lord Wang, you don't know, that Chen Jinjue relied on his family's status in Kyoto and the imperial court, bullying us ordinary soldiers everywhere, some time ago there was a large-scale conflict between the defenders on the east and west sides of us, and Marshal Cao, who didn't care about these idle things, ordered a thorough investigation of this conflict. In order to calm down the incident and obtain battle merits, Chen Jinjue, who was in charge of the investigation, placed all the blame on the twenty-four people in the defenders on our west side who usually did not deal with him, saying that they deliberately instigated the discord between the east and the west, and killed the killers several times in the conflict, and their true identities were unknown, so he sent his own men to kill those people without saying anything. ”

The soldier's eyes were red, and then he said: "We are small soldiers, we have no cultivation talent, and we know that in the eyes of cultivators, we are ants in the eyes of cultivators, and we are used to sacrifice in exchange for greater victories, we all understand this, but we still come to be soldiers, because we want to protect our homeland and relatives, we are willing to sacrifice our lives for the family and land behind us, we are not afraid of death, we are only afraid of death." Those brothers did not die defending their families and the country, but they died at the hands of their own people!"

Speaking of this, the soldier suddenly knelt in front of Wang Lin, his eyes were red and he said loudly: "Lord Xie, you got rid of that bastard for us, and avenged our brothers who died unjustly!"

Perhaps it was too loud, and the soldiers in the surrounding tents actually came over one by one and knelt down around Wang Lin.

At this time, a veteran wearing centurion armor walked over, clasped his hands into fists, bowed deeply, lowered his head and said loudly: "Chen Hu, a soldier of the pioneer battalion, five years ago in the Yilan New Kingdom War, he was shot in the right eye by Liuyu, and he still continued to fight with injuries, because of the fierce battle, he even threw his right eye away, and he was disabled for life. ”

"Zhao He, the herald, was caught by Yilan's spies, tortured, and his left arm was cut off piece by piece, but he didn't confide in the order, and took the opportunity to kill the interrogators, and escaped, but died at the hands of his own people. ”

"Zhang Shougui, the centurion of the Left Wing Army, once led his 100-man regiment to fight with thousands of infantry in Yilan, fighting to his last, and when he was beheaded, he smiled and said that he was really dead, but he could see his brothers. ”

"Li Ergou, the cavalry battalion, dared to hedge with the Yilan iron cavalry five years ago, on par, he once broke into the Yilan army, three in and three out, and always said that he would die on the back of the horse that attacked Yilan in the future, but he didn't expect to fall on the land he carefully guarded... The centurion bent over, trying not to let his soldiers see the tears he had left, and said with some choked words about the past of these twenty-four people, Wang Lin listened to the deeds of these people and had mixed feelings.

After the centurion finished talking about these twenty-four people, the dozens of people surrounding Wang Lin said in unison: "Lord Xie avenges the twenty-four people who died in vain in the border army!"

On a high slope not far away, Zheng Chen and a senior general named Su Rui on the west side were watching this scene.

Su Rui said softly: "If this Wang Lin comes to the border army in the future, he should be able to rise soon." ”

"Gathering a crowd to make trouble, the leader must be severely punished, wrong is wrong, right is right, these 24 thorns cannot act recklessly in the barracks because of their previous achievements. Zheng Chen snorted.

"Chen Jinjue is not a good thing. Su Rui squinted and retorted.

"Okay, okay, now the thorns on the east and west sides of Xixia Prefecture are gone, and the war is together, and the Xixia border army will be like five years ago, once again, with a bucket of iron buckets, and unanimously to the outside world. Zheng Chen seemed to be missing something, and said softly.

"Chen Jinjue is not the only young master soldier from Zhongzhou on your east side in the past five years, can you really guarantee that you can really unite when you get the joint camp on the east and west sides?" asked Su Rui.

Zheng Chen laughed and said with a little sarcasm: "Do you know that from the border emergency to the matter of Chen Jinjue to the present, how many percent of those young master soldiers' families want me to let people go home?"

Su Rui asked with a little curiosity: "The border is in an emergency, plus Chen Jinjue's death, it should be at least six or seventy percent, right?"

Zheng Chen shook his head lightly and said, "Ten percent." ”

"Ten percent!?" Su Rui shouted

Zheng Chen looked at Wang Lin, who was standing in the middle of dozens of half-kneeling soldiers, and said with some melancholy: "It's ironic, yes, it's really embarrassing." ”

Su Rui smiled and said, "This Zhongzhou person is enough! hahaha"

Hearing this, Zheng Chen suddenly said very seriously, no, there is still a big husband in this Zhongzhou, and he vowed to live and die with this Xixia. ”

Su Rui was a little curious and asked, "Oh? Then I have a chance to really make friends, this is the person who carries the last backbone of Zhongzhou." ”

Zheng Chen patted his chest, looked very heroic, tilted his head, and said proudly and loudly: "That's natural, this person's surname is Zheng Mingchen, and he is the person who carries the backbone of Zhongzhou!"

Su Rui rolled his eyes, looked at Zheng Chen, who was also a general with his master Lu Yao, in front of him with some disdain, and then said: "Come less, my wife is from Xixia Prefecture, and so are my children, if you move the whole family to Xixia Prefecture, you will already be from Xixia Prefecture, and you will not be able to play a round for your hometown, you don't count." ”

Zheng Chen looked at Su Rui's non-stop laughter, which made Su Rui get goosebumps, and said, "No wonder Master annoys you so much, I also annoy you, the last general will retire, retire." Then he clasped his fists and saluted, and hurried away.

Zheng Chen, who was alone in the night wind, said to himself: "Let me ask if Xixia should be good?" ”
