That night, all the brothers slept in their clothes.
After all, with such a big thing happening, no one can guarantee whether a decree will suddenly come down and cause any accident to Su Che or the other brothers.
In addition to sleeping in their clothes, everyone also held the steel sword in their hands completely spontaneously and did not remove the weapon.
The long night is long, time passes quietly...
The long night in the Northern Wasteland is still cold. After midnight, the sky is freezing cold, as if there is no heat left in this world, and you can't feel any temperature at all.
In the distance, the strong wind tore at the military tents and made a snapping sound, as if a god was waving a ruler in his hand.
This is destined to be a sleepless night. I don’t know how many people have not closed their eyes all night.
This naturally includes Su Che and Lao Gui.
Su Che had been thinking that if he could step on Luo Hu's corpse and go to Youdu to meet the Holy Lord of the Great You Dynasty, would he be able to return to Beida Camp?
If Beidaying continues to behave like a bird, it is really not looking down on anyone. In less than half a month, Tulongguan will be lost again!
But, if I come back, who will I fight for?
After all, what does this small world and this great dynasty have to do with me?
Their rise and fall, success or failure, do not seem to affect their own path of spiritual practice.
But……
Seeing Luo Cheng, Jiang Zhuliu, and the thousands of brothers behind them, eager to make achievements, and feeling the excitement and honor from the bottom of their hearts after winning a battle, Su Che asked himself, he just walked away like this
, to give them a little hope, and then turn around and kill all hope, is really cruel...
"well……"
Thinking of this, Su Che let out a long sigh.
The old ghost also turned over: "Brother Su, can't you sleep?"
"Yes, old man, it's not good to stay up late. You should go to bed early at such an old age."
"Where can I sleep..."
The old ghost smacked his lips: "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't figure out what the problem is."
"How do you feel?" Su Che asked with interest.
"Hmm..." The old ghost hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I really can't tell, maybe I just think things are not that simple..."
"there is always a solution to a problem."
Su Che covered himself with a quilt: "Go to sleep."
"good……"
"By the way, old ghost..."
Su Che counted on his fingers: "How long has it been since we left Furong Town?"
"I've calculated everything, it's the fifth day at dawn." The old ghost said, "Miss you Qingxi girl?"
"What girl? She gave everyone to me. That's my wife." Su Che said: "We have been away for five days, and she has five days left to observe her 100 days of mourning. She is alone in Furong Town.
I'm not worried. When the time comes, I have to pick her up and bring her to me."
"Haha..." The old ghost looked envious: "Okay, just send someone there when the time comes. Jiang Zhuliu and Luo Cheng are both good hands!"
"Well, that's okay too."
…
We were chatting one after another, but at some point, the old ghost started snoring.
When Su Che opened his eyes again, the sun and wind had already shined in through the gaps in the military tent.
Su Che straightened up like a carp and sat up.
"Strange……"
The old ghost also woke up after hearing the sound.
"What's wrong? What's weird?"
"It's too quiet. There's something wrong."
Su Che listened quietly to what was happening outside.
There are the sounds of military training and the sound of fires and cooking. Life in the military camp is calm and routine.
Some people are like this, some are like that, but there is no big movement. It seems like today is the same as yesterday, and it seems like nothing happened last night.
"There's something wrong..."
The old ghost touched the back of his head: "It stands to reason that if a commander dies, you should be famous in Youdu early this morning... Maybe the summoning order from the imperial court will come... But the current atmosphere, a little bit
It doesn’t look like something big happened.”
"Let's go out and take a look!"
Get out of the military tent.
Same as what I heard.
Quiet and ordinary.
Nothing different from usual.
When everyone saw Su Che, they greeted Su Che normally.
Jiang Zhuliu and Luo Cheng got up early and waited outside the military tent.
Seeing Su Che and the old ghost coming out, he walked in.
"Is there any movement?" the old ghost asked curiously.
Jiang Zhuliu said in a deep voice: "There is no movement at all."
Luo Cheng also frowned: "Someone disposed of Luo Hu's body last night. It's as if nothing happened. Today will be the same!"
"Hey……"
The old ghost looked suspicious: "The highest officer of the Beida Camp is Solotu, right?"
"Yes, Solotu."
"How can this General Suo be so calm? One of his men died, and there was no movement at all?"
…
Just when a few people were confused.
"Da da da……"
A voice came from outside the military tent. A soldier got off his horse and knelt down on one knee after entering the military tent: "Mr. Su, I have been ordered by General Suo to invite you to sit in General Suo's tent. General Suo said that I have something important to do with you."
business."
"good."
Su Che thought to himself that it was finally here. If he really wanted to calm down like this, he would be in trouble.
Jiang Zhuliu and Luo Cheng both stepped forward: "Brother Su, I'll go with you!"
"I'll go with you!" Luo Cheng was also very worried about Su Che's safety. Not to mention now, he didn't sleep last night either.
"No."
Su Che had already anticipated something.
Asked Luo Cheng: "What happened to those prisoners yesterday?"
Luo Chengdao: "According to the usual practice, those who can be persuaded to surrender should be persuaded to surrender, those who can be recruited should be recruited, those who should be killed should be killed, and those who should be released should be released."
Su Che said in a deep voice: "Keep as many of these people as possible. Maybe you will have to set up another branch. Once there is no place for you in Beida Camp, the more people you have, the better."
"ah?"
"this……"
This is actually a very bold statement!
What is this called?
Stand on your own?
This is clearly an attempt to betray the imperial court.
However, everyone knows that this day may not be too far away, and they cannot choose.
"Zhuliu, you also cooperate with Luo Cheng's work and focus on recruiting prisoners to expand your own power. It's enough to go see Solotu. Old Gui and I will go."
A few people quickly left the military tent and passed through the tents where ordinary soldiers lived. After about a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the military tent at the core.
The appearance of this military tent is not too special. It is obvious that Solotu did not distinguish his military tent in order to protect himself. Otherwise, it would be a clear target for the enemy to attack.
"General Suo, we're here." Outside the military tent, the soldier preached.
"Let them come in with their weapons disarmed." A dull voice came from inside.
"Yes, General Suo."
The soldier received the order and turned to look at Su Che: "Mr. Su, please give me the weapon and I will keep it for you..."
"Why!"
The old ghost stopped the soldier and said, "It is the rule for soldiers not to remove their armor or hand over their guns!"
Not to be outdone, the soldier calmly shook his head: "There are also rules here. Anyone who enters must hand over their weapons! Otherwise..."
