Just as Shen Cha said, An Ming and Li Jun have long since given up trying to compete with each other.

Li Jun, in particular, changed so fast that people around him could not imagine it. An Ming once asked him how he could figure out something overnight that he had not figured out for so many years.

"There is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside people. If the frog at the bottom of the well does not jump out of the well, he will never know the vastness of this world."

Although he didn't answer the question a bit, Li Jun's answer was his most personal feeling after entering the Shadow Camp.

In the past, Shadow was an existence that ordinary soldiers like them needed to look up to. They had always believed that to be selected as Shadow by General Shen, in addition to meeting certain requirements, he also had strong abilities in one or more aspects. Talent is the kind of talent that may not take others years to master, but can be learned in just one or two glances.

But when he was actually in it, Li Jun realized how naive and ridiculous he used to be. The so-called talented people he had imagined before did indeed exist, such as the leaders in the Shadow Camp, Shadow Four, Shadow Five, Shadow Thirteen is like this, but most of them are just like him, very ordinary people. The only difference is that those who become shadows work harder than him, are hardworking, and have no distracting thoughts.

"As the saying goes, the stupid bird flies first." Ying Si, who came to train An Ming and Li Jun under Shen Cha's order, told them this on the first day they arrived, "If you know your shortcomings, you must try your best. To make up for it. Don’t talk about congenital defects, which cannot be repaired. As long as it is a defect, there is a way to make up for it. It depends on whether you are willing."

From that day on, An Ming and Li Jun began to practice day and night. They practiced with Ying Si during the day. If they still had the strength at night, they would choose to practice on their own. I don’t know if it was fate. Every time they When I was doing extra training, I would meet Dai Yi, who was brought from the new barracks by General Shen. This boy has long lost the arrogance he had when he first joined the army, and his whole person has become much calmer.

An Ming didn't interact much with Dai Yi. When they met, they just nodded and said hello. Li Jun, on the other hand, didn't know how he made friends with Dai Yi. Although they couldn't talk about everything, they still Occasionally I would say something from my heart.

"Let's take a rest. We've been practicing too hard these past two days."

On this day, only Li Jun and Dai Yi were training extra. An Ming was called away by Shadow Four in the afternoon and had not returned by dinner time.

After practicing for almost an hour, the two of them wiped off their sweat and lay down directly on the grass in the school field.

"Brother Li, do you know what the Fourth Master asked Brother An to do?" Dai Yi put his hands behind his head and looked at the stars hanging in the sky and said, "I haven't seen him the whole afternoon and night."

"I don't know." Li Jun shook his head, took a deep breath, and caught the falling snowflakes. "Ever since the list of entourage was announced, he has been busy. He has been like this for several days. We live in the same house. When I went back in the evening, he hadn't come back yet. When I woke up in the morning, he had already gone out. Basically, I didn't see him even once a day."

"We'll be setting off in two days. It's normal to be busy. But you... are also the team leader. Why didn't Fourth Master find you?"

"You kid, please don't be rude to me. I'm the team leader in name only, and it's useless." Hearing what Dai Yi said, Li Jun wasn't angry either. He just raised his foot and kicked him in the direction. He also covered him with the cloak that was still on the ground. "Look who went out with General Shen and Military Advisor Jin this time? The elites of the Pioneer Battalion, General Shen's personal soldiers, and people from the Shadow Battalion." "

"Don't belittle yourself. You are quite capable. The only drawback is that you are not as careful as Brother An. If you had to correct this problem, you would no longer be a captain." Dai Yi sighed and said nothing, staring at the sky.

The stars are in a trance.

Hearing the silence, Li Jun felt curious and turned sideways and glanced, "What are you thinking about?"

"Brother Li, the battlefield... isn't it scary?"

"It's not scary, but it's cruel." Li Jun patted Dai Yi on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we won't encounter any danger this time."

"That's not what I meant." Dai Yi crossed his hands on his chest, "When I was in Xijing, I always envied the people at the border. They were shrouding corpses in horse leather and fighting on the battlefield. They felt particularly majestic. In the past two years, the marshal, the marquis and others

When I returned to Beijing, I also joined in the fun, stood in the crowd and watched them. I felt...very envious. I hope that one day I will be one of them."

"Aren't you one of them now? Haven't you already fulfilled your wish?" Li Jun smiled, "Or are you worried that you will shrink from the battle?"

"I definitely won't back down from the battle. I'm just worried that at the critical moment, it will hold everyone back. Brother Li, don't you have such concerns when you go to the battlefield for the first time?"

"I have never thought about it, and I have no chance to think about it." Li Jun imitated Dai Yi and lay on his back. "When we joined the army, it was different from now. We were fighting almost all the time. We were in the recruit camp.

After staying for almost forty days, I had the opportunity to face the Liao soldiers. At that time, I had no other feeling except excitement and excitement. I just hoped that I could behead the enemy and become famous in one battle."

"Then did you behead the enemy?"

"I'm pretty lucky. I killed six Liao soldiers in total, and I was also stabbed three times." Li Jun pointed to his calf, right arm, and back, "The injuries were not serious, and he was jumping around in a few days."

Although my wish to behead the enemy came true, I failed to become famous in one battle. That boy An Ming killed twelve people in that battle and trampled me under his feet. At that time, I was very angry.

, I went to have a fight with him after my injury healed. As a result, the superior officer found out about the private fight between the two of us. We lost all our military exploits and even received a beating." He smiled bitterly and said, "Based on our performance, it was

Those who can be transferred to the front army can face the enemy directly even if they are not in the vanguard camp. But... in the end, we were assigned to the rear army. Although we still have the opportunity to kill the enemy, it is much less than that of the front army." He

Turning his head, he looked at Dai Yi who was listening to him attentively. "Don't be afraid. Since you have come to join the army and since you have the idea of ​​killing the enemy and serving the country, face it bravely."

"It doesn't matter if it drags down the brothers?"

"If you feel that you were held back this time, try your best not to make this mistake next time. We all have been through this time, and no one will complain or anger you because of this."

Dai Yi didn't speak. After thinking for a long time, he nodded slowly, "I remember, thank you, Brother Li."

"You're welcome, it's just..." Li Jun smiled and glanced at Dai Yi, who was hesitant to speak, "You not only came to me to answer your questions today, but you also wanted to tell me something else, didn't you?

"

"You have a very keen sense." Dai Yi nodded, "I do have something to say."

"What did you say? I'm all ears."

"Tell me about you and Brother An."

"An Ming? Is there anything we worry about that worries you? Are you worried that we will fight?"

"No, I just want to express my own thoughts." Dai Yi sat up and stretched, "I have also heard about the two of you."

"You're not surprised when you heard about it. I'm afraid this matter has spread throughout the Shen family army, right?" Li Jun smiled bitterly, "Everyone thinks it's my fault and I shouldn't pester him. These days, I also

I have thought about it, if I had changed my approach, would the situation be different today?"

"As long as you have the idea of ​​recognizing your relatives, no matter what method you use, the result will be the same." Dai Yi held his chin and looked at Li Jun, "If you ask me, you shouldn't have such thoughts.

"

"Why? We are brothers. If we didn't know each other's existence, maybe this wouldn't happen. But knowing that we know it, and still ignoring it, isn't it so impersonal?" Li Jun yawned.

Patting the falling snowflakes on his body, he said, "You are an only child at home, right? Don't you wish you had a brother so that you can support each other?"

"No wonder the general asked me to come and talk to you. Sure enough, as the general said, you haven't fully figured it out yet." Seeing the confusion on Li Jun's face, Dai Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, "You're right, between brothers

It is true that we can support each other, but this must be based on your will and not your enthusiasm. Obviously, An Ge does not have this idea. Even in ten or twenty years, you will not be able to get what you want.

willing."

"I...work hard, what if I can do it?" Li Jun spread his hands, "Look, I originally thought that with my own ability, I would not be able to enter the Shadow Camp. After this period of training, I

With all my efforts, I think if there is a next selection, maybe I will have a chance to be selected, right? An Ming's side..."

"No chance!" Dai Yi waved his hand decisively, "Actually, Brother An is not a hard-hearted person, but he is a very stubborn and stubborn person. Once he is sure of something, he will never change it. In this matter,

He believes that your father, Zun Lingtang, has bad intentions, and he has ill intentions towards his adoptive parents and the An family's property." He glanced at Li Jun, "You won't deny this, right?"

"...Yes, I tried to persuade them, but they didn't listen. Not only was An Ming angry, but I was also angry. This is why I decided to join the army."

"Out of sight is out of mind, right?" Dai Yi sighed and thought silently in his heart. General Shen is really a god at guessing the thoughts of the Li family and his wife. If he were not a god, he would never have known it.

How could someone who met him make such an accurate guess? Seeing Li Jun's doubtful gaze, he smiled and said, "Although Brother An doesn't recognize you, his attitude towards you is obviously different from that of your father. In his opinion,

Come on, your thoughts are very simple, you just want to recognize this brother, and you have no other messy thoughts."

"Then why doesn't he acknowledge me?"

"Is it possible to acknowledge you but not acknowledge your biological parents?" Dai Yi shook his head, "Isn't it true that if I acknowledge my biological parents, I will push my adoptive parents into the abyss of eternal destruction? It is not as important to cultivate kindness as to give birth to kindness. For him,

In his heart, his adoptive parents are the people he respects the most."
