Chapter 101 Opportunity(1/2)
The wind on the city wall sent the last smell of blood into the distance of the sky. A Daning cavalry suddenly appeared outside forced the black warriors to retreat. Fengyantai has never been a blessing for the black warriors. The last fierce battle that happened here was still their nightmare.
Meng Changan looked back and saw that there were still about a hundred people who were still alive. They had been tied up with weapons and knelt on the open space. Each of them had an extremely empty expression, and they looked more like dead people than those who fell on the ground.
Of course they knew what their destiny was. Even if Meng Chang'an did not kill them, they would be destined to die.
"How long are you going to stay here?"
Meng Chang'an asked.
Chen Leng leaned against the city wall and shook his hair and felt cool: "At most, there is a beautiful girl waiting for me in Chang'an City, so she looks so beautiful."
"oh......"
Meng Chang'an was a little regretful: "There is no restaurant here."
Chen Leng: "Discount it."
Meng Changan curled his lips slightly: "Why is the sixth-rank lieutenant and the fifth-rank rank lieutenant, the cavalry commander still like this?"
Chen Leng said: "I forgot if you don't say it. Come and give me a military salute. Be more serious and perfunctory, you may not look good."
Meng Changan glanced at him: "I haven't lost yet."
Chen Leng thought for a while and felt that things were a little troublesome: "Walking deep into the enemy's territory, exploring the terrain for hundreds of miles, drawing it into a map, and bringing back hundreds of black warriors with great symbolism. Both of these things gave His Majesty the face, especially the one behind. If His Majesty knows it, he will be so happy that he can't close his legs."
Meng Chang'an: "Can't close your legs? Why did Your Majesty spread your legs before?"
Chen Leng: "Ah... you are really a guy who has no sense of humor at all. If you report these two great things, it is probably inevitable to give them a heavy reward. You are already a sixth-rank captain. If you give a reward casually, you will be a fifth-rank general. In other words, you may have won halfway through the way back?"
Meng Chang'an: "Tell me how you feel."
Chen Leng: "It's still time for me to kill someone and silence me now."
Meng Changan was silent for a while and asked seriously: "Is it okay for Zhuang Yong to treat you?"
"good."
"Well... we said last time, we competed with who will get to the fifth grade first. It seems that I will win, so..."
"I won't come to you. Your bad face will be annoying if you look at it for a long time."
Chen Leng turned around and looked outside the city, thinking that this was the snowy field in the northern border, the place where the black warriors fought every day and month. Meng Chang'an chose this place not just for himself, he wanted to get up as soon as possible so that he could protect something...such as friendship.
"I heard that the black warrior is very fierce?"
“That’s it.”
"I heard that the women of Heiwu are all white, tall and big breasts?"
"Um."
"Have you seen it?"
"I've seen it, but I don't look good."
“Um…”
Chen sneered: "Do you still need to tell me? Where can I see a woman in this world who is better than Cha Ye?"
Meng Changan couldn't help but shake his head: "Then why do you ask?"
Chen Leng said: "I thought you came to the northern border because of the tall and beautiful Heiwu Bai Niuer, and you also heard that they had a mutton smell on them."
Meng Chang'an: "..."
He and Shen Leng stood shoulder to shoulder on the city wall, watching the team of Daning cavalry coming towards Feng Yantai in the distance, and gradually could see clearly the fluttering Daning battle flag and the word Wu swaying in the wind on the general's flag.
"This is unusual, why is it you?"
Meng Chang'an asked.
Chen sneered: "Who knows why the old dean of Yanta Academy likes you so much? For this reason, he sent people to find me from afar and asked me to arrive at Feng Yantai as soon as possible to save your life. Did you recognize a godfather in the academy without telling me?"
Meng Chang'an: "The dean is very old."
"God grandpa?"
"roll......"
Chen sneered for a while and looked serious: "Actually, you probably have guessed what's going on in your heart. Your Majesty is probably trying to eliminate hidden dangers in the army. People like Pei Xiao were not a chance to appear. In the four borders, four warehouses and nineteen guards... No, there should be many people like Pei Xiao among the twenty guards."
Meng Chang'an nodded: "Yes, they are all descendants of some heroes, especially after His Majesty ascended the throne, the situation became more complicated. His Majesty had great prestige in the army, and this prestige was driven by people like Pei Tingshan Tieliuli, so His Majesty will inevitably take care of them more, and it is precisely because of this nostalgia that will make them float up. Pei Tingshan is the best example."
Chen Leng: "Your Majesty is not planning for a hundred years but longer, so the hidden dangers in the army will inevitably be eliminated. When Your Majesty was in the army, he valued Pei Tingshan Tieli, who was not originally a meritorious minister, was a kind of resistance and attitude. Everyone knew the domineering of the great ministers when Daning was founded. His Majesty, the emperor of Daning, would have turned a blind eye to all the time. After all, it was difficult to find the country. Without these meritorious ministers, Daning would not have been in the current state for hundreds of years."
"So your Majesty mostly uses people from poor families in military martial arts. Now, Pei Tingshan is holding up the huge Pei family alone, and his hands are already tightly covering Dongjiang, just like the gold, silver and treasures in his family are unwilling to let outsiders touch it, but that is not his, but Daning's."
Meng Changan looked at Chen Leng and suddenly realized that this guy who looked a little idiot and reckless at the time had become so mature.
"The people you use to fight against the ministers, and now these people have become ministers."
Chen Leng: "So we should be happy?"
“It’s not time to be happy yet.”
Meng Chang'an looked at the increasingly closer team outside the city: "Why don't I have reinforcements from the northern border this time? I'm obviously close but I refuse to save it? It's because people like Tie Liuli have too many concerns. He knows what Your Majesty wants to target whom. However, he himself may be one of the people His Majesty wants to target, so he naturally won't be so determined in his work."
"It may not be his own idea, either."
Chen said coldly: "The big waves wash away the sand... What Your Majesty wants is not the so-called talents that are protected in every way. For example, Pei Xiao is really so idiot and worthless? The army is second in the competition, second only to Wu Xinyu at that time. These are enough to show that he is very strong, but why does he not look strong? It is because such people are used to taking shortcuts, and no one stops them when taking shortcuts."
"While we were still running forward on a big road to compete with others, he rode the tall horse given by his family and easily surpassed us. Then we rushed to the target place to think about how to open the golden door. He had already entered through the small door and sat inside and stared at us with condescending eyes."
Meng Chang'an said: "This is someone your Majesty hates."
Chen Leng: "Well...so what Your Majesty wants is a group of people who come out of the real life and death environment, like you and like me."
"Let your life and death be allowed?"
Meng Changan said to himself.
“It’s a good thing for us.”
Meng Changan saw that Wu Xinyu was already wavering to him under the city wall: "I'll go and say thank you hypocritically."
Chen Leng: "Where is mine?"
Meng Changan: "You really want to hear me say thank you?"
Chen Leng: "You can also discount."
Meng Chang'an: "Why do I think you are particularly greedy for money?"
He wanted to go down the city to greet Wu Xinyu, and suddenly stopped. When he turned to look at Chen Leng, his eyes were filled with worry and vigilance. He knew Chen Leng's background very well, and no one knew better than him. He could also understand what a hard life felt. After leaving home at the age of twelve, he never asked for a copper coin at home. He even worked as a coolie at the dock like Chen Leng. He tasted everything Chen Leng had experienced. He knew what the greatest temptation was.
"You still don't understand me."
Chen Leng shrugged: "You shouldn't look at me with such eyes."
Meng Changan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I won't know next time."
He walked down the city and his steps were a little relaxed, and he could see the clarity in the cold eyes.
"Of course I'm greedy for money."
Chen Leng said seriously behind him: "I will raise my wife in the future."
Meng Chang'an stopped again: "Then your ideal is really big."
Chen Leng asked: "You really didn't recognize the dean as your godfather?"
"without."
"Then are you interested in being my child's godfather in the future?"
Meng Changan continued to move forward: "I may not lose."
Chen Leng was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing... Is this a comparison?"
"Lengzi."
"Um."
"I won't let you run so far to save me again."
"Oh, who wants to come? It's so hard and so troublesome."
"Yes, so I'll work harder in the future."
"Oh, I won't thank you anymore, you didn't thank me anyway."
Meng Chang'an had already walked under the city wall and asked his subordinates to open the city gate. Wu Xinyu and two thousand cavalry entered Fengyantai. The black warriors far outside the city stopped for a while, and confirmed that they could no longer find the opportunity to leave. Chen Leng stood high on the city wall and looked at the gradually disappearing team, as if he felt a particularly fierce and fierce look in it.
"This group of wolf cubs."
Chen Leng sighed: "It's true that it's harder to deal with than the water bandits."
Under the city, Meng Chang'an welcomed Wu Xinyu in. Wu Xinyu looked at him with a smile, but only said two words: "Congratulations."
Meng Changan clasped his fists and said nothing.
Wu Xinyu jumped off the horse and looked at the city wall first. He saw the cold back, and then said with some emotion: "Women always don't understand how important a real brother is to men. They even jealous of their own men. Sometimes they are better to their brothers than to them... To be honest, I envy you too. I don't have such a brother."
Meng Chang'an said calmly: "There are generals, and every soldier under the general is such a brother."
To be continued...
