On the night of the martial arts tournament, Wu Jie asked Brother Hua Rong to invite Lei Huo over. "Brother Lei! I'm sorry to disturb you late at night, so I'd like to invite Haihan!" When he saw Lei Huo rushing to his room in a hurry, he was looking at the map.
He greeted him humbly. "You're welcome, please sit down!" Seeing him standing like Optimus Prime, Wu Jie politely said to Lei Huo. This is his deputy captain's bedroom, without any luxury.
Except for a set of tables and chairs and a large military map, everything is the same as that of an ordinary soldier's barracks. The Chu State Army stipulates that officers at the rank of regimental commander can have a two-bedroom apartment and live in a separate small courtyard.
There are a lot of ginkgo and osmanthus planted in Wu Jie's yard. Through the open windows, the fragrance of the trees is refreshing and refreshing. Although the environment is not refreshing, it is still pleasing to the eye.
Lei Huo sat down unceremoniously and drank Shaodaozi wine, a specialty of the Sun-Destroying Fortress in their garrison area, which was poured by Wu Jie himself. The chill in his eyebrows seemed to be thawing a little. "Sir, you are looking for me.
Why are you here?" He obviously found it incredible. Countless people, including General Shen Huai and Major General Jin Hao, did not dare to use him blatantly, lest they give the scum of the Ministry of Internal Affairs a clue to make a big fuss. He did this better than anyone else.
He could see it clearly. But he didn't expect that it would be used by a young man who was not afraid of tigers. How could it not be a huge surprise to him?
Wu Jie smiled lightly and said, "I'm not afraid of making you laugh. I'm asking you to lead the entire group of brothers on my behalf." What he said was beyond his expectation. Lei Huo said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Sir, are you kidding me?"
The look of surprise in his eyes disappeared silently in an instant, and was replaced by the light of profound wisdom. Looking at his eyes, Wu Jie secretly nodded in his heart, sighed with a smile and said: "To be honest,
I am just a trainee soldier who is ridiculously lucky. It happened that God was not long-sighted and allowed me to kill Duanpeng and be promoted to the position I am today. However, if I were to command a thousand soldiers to participate in the most arduous and dangerous battles one after another,
I am absolutely incompetent for extreme tasks." Wu Jie told the truth, these NPCs in the chaotic world all have their own thinking. To gain their approval, the only way is to compare their feelings. If anyone only regards them as NPCs, then
The consequences must be serious...
Putting away his smile, Wu Jie said seriously: "After all, I am responsible for a thousand lives of my men, and I don't want to ruin them because of my incompetence. So, I leave it to you." Lei Huo seemed to know him for the first time.
Likewise, his eyes were staring at his face. Wu Jie also looked back at him without flinching. Lei Huo smiled strangely: "Aren't you afraid that I, a defeated general, will drag you down to the point where you have to revoke your designation and become an ordinary soldier again?
, or even decapitation?" Wu Jie replied with a tit-for-tat sneer: "Don't worry, if there is such a day, I will bear all the responsibilities by myself, and it has nothing to do with you." Lei Huo was obviously stunned for a moment, and he was silent. His face suddenly flashed
He seems to be experiencing the fiercest ideological struggle. He is brave, decisive, and courageous. The young man in front of him is simply a replica of himself back then! By the way, there is another one who looks harmless to humans and animals, but is actually cunning and cunning.
His wisdom. This kind of strategy and courage that was completely incompatible with his age formed an unstoppable unique charm, which deeply touched his already cold heart.
Should he continue to be buried among ordinary soldiers and sink into the wine country and prostitutes forever, or should he still have some blood and take a gamble before he gets old?! Lei Huo's heart was in chaos. Looking at his uncomfortable look, Wu Jie
Unable to bear the discomfort of forcing others, he suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't..." The following words ended abruptly as if they were cut off by a sharp blade. Because he heard clearly, the thunder and fire could not be doubted.
He declined in a tone of voice and said: "I'm sorry, sir. I'm afraid it will be difficult for a low-ranking official to be qualified without virtue and incompetence. Besides, the low-ranking official is still a criminal, so acting rashly may cause a lot of inconvenience."
Listening to his decisive words, Wu Jie's heart suddenly fell into an abyss. Seeing him interrupting him, he thought he would agree to his request, but what he didn't expect was an unquestionable rejection, so he forced himself to
Holding back the overwhelming anger in his heart, he laughed loudly and said, "That's wrong! Brother Lei is a man of far-sightedness, how can he use worldly vision to deceive me? You must know that the Qin army is pressing on the border, and no one in the fortress knows that the crisis is imminent.
If we don’t take advantage of this opportunity to rise, I’m afraid we will never be able to turn around in the future.”
Lei Huo said calmly: "I don't agree with what your Excellency said. Your Majesty has long been disillusioned with martial arts. I just want to spend my life like this in an ordinary way."
When Wu Jie saw that he was not getting enough food and salt, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Can you bear to continue to see innocent soldiers like Batu and Zhan Tian die tragically under the sword of Qin's cavalry?"
Lei Huo's breath was stagnant and he remained silent.
Wu Jie took a deep breath and calmed down: "Brother Lei, please forgive me for being rude. I guess that if you hadn't taken action to divert most of the pursuers that night, I believe Boss Ouyang and the others would not have been able to survive until now.
But I wonder if you had a feeling of weakness at that time? Did you feel that a person's strength is so thin and fragile? But I really felt it. That night, I kept hearing in my ears that brothers who are usually as close as brothers
They howled miserably on the verge of death, how innocent they were! For a meager salary, they lingered on the edge of death day and night. Even after death, they did not receive any honors, and were just buried in the loess with a roll of reed mats.
Next. I survived, and became the deputy leader of this bullshit. But these are not things I don’t want... I just want them to survive... The voices and smiles of those brothers will be deeply engraved in my heart for the rest of my life.
!”
Speaking of this, thinking of those comrades in the game who were oppressed by life and the people who were still struggling on the poverty line in reality, Wu Jie's voice suddenly sobbed, and his tone became more sad and angry, "The day after I woke up
, I sat silently in front of the monuments of my brothers for a whole day and night, looking forward to hearing the laughter and laughter of the past. But I could no longer hear their voices, and what was always roaring in my ears was the tearful screams.
I cried. I thought that after I was forced to give up my ideal of struggle in reality, I would never shed a tear again. I thought that the tears would have flowed away long ago, but I still cried. But I promise that no matter in reality,
Still here, that will be the last time I cry in my life. I kneel in front of the monument and swear to the sky and the earth, with my soul, flesh and blood, life, honor, and the most precious thing I have: From the end of my world
From this moment before leaving the memorial monument, I will live again. I will fight for all the honors and benefits that should originally belong to us for all the comrades who sacrificed their lives, all the comrades who are still alive, and my dear motherland. Even if
He will not hesitate to throw his head and blood!"
There was a "bang", and the veins of Lei Huo's iron palms bulged out, and his right palm suddenly slapped the table in front of him. The coffee table made of nanmu broke into pieces and was smashed into pieces. After that, the man suddenly stood up.
, staring at Wu Jie with blood-red eyes.
Lei Huo roared: "I don't know this? I have fought for less than you? Open your eyes and see... I am your fate in the future. Who will sympathize with you? Who will support you? Who will pity you?"
No, not one. No one understands everything you do, and never will. Some are just adding insult to injury and burning bridges... That time, the 1st regiment was the first to break out of the encirclement, but in order to save other brother troops, they rushed back repeatedly
Nine times. Nine times! Hehe... It sounds really light now... But who can understand the tenacity in it?!"
"Wow!" Lei Huo's robe suddenly burst, revealing the majestic and proud upper body muscles, which were covered with countless scars, like countless ferocious centipedes slowly squirming.
"Did you see it? This is the souvenir left to me from that 'Storm' battle. But afterward, no one stood up to speak for me. What's the point of such a sacrifice! I'm so stupid, I sacrificed the lives of all the brothers in the regiment
What I got back was endless ridicule and ridicule. Brothers who died in the battle, your heroic souls are not far away. I, Meng Huaian, am sorry for you!"
Wu Jie listened quietly to Lei Huo's accusation. Yes, his experience was so similar to his own in reality! He could understand his feelings better than anyone else. But he, Wu Jie, had to pull him out of his own psychological shadow. Yes
Yes, fate is unfair, but we should still have an unyielding spirit, otherwise, we will never be able to turn around. Even if there is only one percent chance, if we work hard, there is still one percent hope after all.
, On the contrary, there is not even the minimum one percent chance. After thinking about this, Wu Jie suddenly said calmly: "Then why don't you die? You feel that you are so sorry for your brothers, but you
What have you done for them?"
Lei Huo was suddenly startled, looking at the person in front of him as if he didn't recognize him. As if he wanted to see through his eyes. But Wu Jie also looked at Lei Huo without fear and said: "Say it!... No.
Can you speak? I'll tell you for you!" As he said that, he casually threw a thick stack of IOUs from Brother Hua Rong into Lei Huo's face. In fact, Wu Jie didn't have any confidence in his heart, because this would
It completely angered Lei Huo, and even he felt that he was crazy. If Lei Huo's anger attacks his heart, he may not be able to stop him with his current level of strength. However, Wu Jie has no regrets. If he could be beaten or even beaten by him, he would not be able to stop him.
He hesitated, but if he could awaken Thunder Fire, he would be happy to do it. Not only the epic camp mission of "Warring States Storm", but also his dream in a chaotic world, in short, everything is for the future!
But what he expected didn't happen.
Lei Huo stared at the IOUs in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing that he seemed indifferent, Wu Jie could only continue to "add fuel to the fire" and said: "Since that 'Storm' battle, you have been addicted to drinking and sex, borrowing money, whoring and gambling, and drugging yourself. Yes, you have suffered."
It's a grievance. But now, while the families of those brothers who have passed away are still struggling on the edge of starvation, you yourself are degenerating in a debauched manner. Is this how you treat your dead brothers? What qualifications do you have, you degenerate guy?
Are you here to discuss the noble word 'brother' with me?"
Lei Huo listened speechlessly, his eyes shining with the shadow of tears. In front of this young "outsider" who was ten years younger than himself and still young, he suddenly realized that he was so small and weak. At this time,
His whole body was trembling, because every word Wu Jie said was like sharp needles piercing the pain in his heart.
At this moment, Wu Jie was as calm as a snow-capped mountain that has been frozen for thousands of years. He noticed every slightest movement he made, so he told him his life experiences in reality in a calm tone, including his own hesitation.
, and then said word by word: "Meng Huaian, if you are still a man, join hands with me to correct this unreasonable world and rebuild a clear world. If you are a coward, crawl out of here now. Tomorrow, the Sun-Destroying Fortress
Everyone in the world will know that their hero is just a fool who drowns his sorrows by borrowing money and drinking. Don’t call yourself Thunder Fire again, because you don’t deserve it.”
Lei Huo suddenly raised his head, stared at Wu Jie fiercely, and said every word: "Why do you think you can achieve it?"
Seeing that Lei Huo was finally persuaded, Wu Jie couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but his face remained calm and said: "Why do you think it's impossible for me to achieve it? I just said it, as long as there is one percent
If we fight for the opportunity, there is still hope. But if we don’t fight for it, then there will be no opportunity and no hope. Moreover, if we work hard, even if we fail, we have nothing to regret. You
You must understand that there is no road in the world longer than feet, and there is no mountain higher than people. What do you think?"
Two pairs of extremely sharp electric eyes stared at each other, refusing to give in. The air was filled with the dangerous atmosphere of an approaching storm.
After a long time, Lei Huo suddenly knelt on one leg in front of me with unprecedented solemnity, solemnity, and respect, and made the highest salute of a knight - the knight's declaration: "I, Meng Huaian, swear by the honor of the bronze knight, I am willing to follow you to the end of the world for the rest of my life.
Don’t regret it!” In this way, I finally relied on my sincerity to win another good assistant in the chaotic world, a top military strategist and martial artist who is half teacher and half friend.
