"I always feel that for an executioner like me, whose hands are stained with blood, such a smile is too luxurious... Read the latest and most complete novel"
"Is that why you will do whatever it takes to protect this smile?"
"Yes, even though I always warn myself not to ask for too much, I still can't extinguish the flame in my heart."
"Then think about it from another angle. Isn't everything you are doing now just for the smile in front of you? No, not just the smile of the person in front of you, but also your lover, your brother, your brother's family...
Don't you, who transformed into a ghost and god to protect them, have the right to embrace such a smile?"
"Although it seems a little helpless that those people are 'represented' by you, I do feel a lot more relaxed when I think about it. And it is not an exaggeration to say that I protected this land in Bingzhou.
.”
"As long as you don't forget those people who fought with you."
"I will continue to fight with the living people. I will carry the dead on my back."
"Oh~ That's a good realization. Well, Xiao Lingqi's smile will be my reward for you."
"Hey, hey, that's my daughter, okay? Even if it's a book, you can't even think about her."
"Really? Be careful I use the ultimate trick~"
"Come here now, I, Lu Fengxian, will still be afraid of you."
"Hmm~ The name of our ultimate move is~'Close the door and release Tamago-chan'~"
"Li. Shu. Shi! I will fight with you!!!"
Because of a cute loli who suddenly broke in, the original night chat between men gradually subsided. Looking at the innocent sleeping face of loli who was finally coaxed to sleep, Xiaoqiang, who usually had a very sinister face, completely changed his mind at this time.
With a tender face.
Not only did his voice become softer and softer, his movements became gentler, but even when he spoke, he always smiled like a fool unconsciously, or with a proud expression that even he himself was not aware of.
expression.
He really looks like a standard idiot father who is immersed in happiness.
He gently held his daughter, who was so young compared to his body, not only afraid that his movements would wake up the sleeping elf, but also as if he was worried that the cool breeze at night would cause unnecessary harm to Loli, even if the team
There is Su Xiaoluoli, who can be called a peerless miracle doctor, but Xiaoqiang, who has long forgotten the feeling of pain after crawling out of the dead countless times, recalls the feeling that was engraved in the depths of his memory because of his daughter. Even he
Such pain is unbearable even for a nine-foot-tall man.
That was his daughter. She was the treasure in his life. Although compared with the care Xiao Lingqi received, Xiao Guanping, who suffered "torture" just because of her gender difference, was much unlucky, but even on the surface
The strict father who seems to be extremely strict will secretly put the best medicine within reach of his young son. He will shamelessly run to Su Xiaololi again and again to ask for medicine that has a good therapeutic effect on the body.
and stimulating drugs.
Unknowingly, the second generation of Bingzhou began to gradually come into this world. Fan Juan, who was accompanying Zhao Yun in Luoyang, had already brought Zhao Tong, a tiger-headed boy to her lover, and Dian Wei's son Dianman had already passed away.
Although these children are still very young, every time they are seen, it makes people feel the meaning of life and hope.
And looking at Xiao Lingqi's cute sleeping face full of happiness, a group of men who usually plotted life and death seemed to be infected by that happiness, and their sleeping faces were all covered with happiness.
A deep or shallow smile.
And even those soldiers who need to stay vigil are a little more excited. Because they have found something that needs to be protected, and what they are guarding is so precious-it is fragile but makes people feel sad.
So intoxicated.
The search on the second day began before the sun had fully risen.
Although the entire team did not take a long rest, it is nothing to people who have lived in the military for a long time. Moreover, judging from the situation of the past two days, if we do not take advantage of this period, we still retain a bit of the refreshing feeling from last night.
Carry out more work during this period. When the sun hangs high, it is obvious that the exploration work will have to come to a standstill again.
Therefore, even though a few lolita, shota, and girls looked very tired and obviously had not slept well, the main force still had no intention of stopping. They just allowed these non-staff members who were originally part of the exploration force to rest on their own in the car.
.
But even so, it was still hard work, but apart from enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, there was still no real gain at the end of the day.
This result is somewhat frustrating.
Fortunately, such frustration did not linger around the team for long. As the team of cooks led by Su Xiaololi brought a sumptuous dinner to the entire team, the originally low morale immediately showed a tendency to explode.
.
That was indeed a sumptuous dinner.
There are all kinds of prey obtained by men hunting, as well as fresh fish that Miss Luohe asked her animal friends to collect from unknown sources, as well as various gifts with just the right taste that Su Xiaololi obtained from nature.
, allowing this team to enjoy delicious food that is almost never the same every day.
The overflowing fragrance even alarmed various nature elves within a radius of dozens of miles.
However, with Miss Luohe here, there is no need to worry about communication problems between the two parties. However, correspondingly, the exploration team cannot obtain some additional "harvests" at this opportunity.
However, many days of futile efforts have put a real problem in front of Li Shushi:
Is it necessary to continue this aimless search?
"If we search for another five days and find no clues worth continuing to search for, we can just give up."
Although everyone doesn't mind taking a little more rest, those restless neighbors in the north have always been a worry for the people of Bingzhou, and now they are obviously not prepared for the worst or even to fight everything independently.
So tonight, in addition to the original tranquility, a sense of anxiety began to permeate the entire team.
Fortunately, they seemed to quickly find a way to vent their bad emotions.
"The little wolves reported that there seemed to be some guys in the northwest that made them feel very uncomfortable. Even from a long distance, they could feel great hostility from those guys. Although they were not many in number, they were not powerful.
weak."
"How far can it be from our place?"
"Little Wolf said that those guys are moving very fast, and maybe they will arrive near the dried up creek not far from us in the middle of the night. Well, this is just a conservative estimate. Maybe the actual arrival time will be earlier.
a little?"
"Isn't it that there is not much distance between us? It can even be said that we are close at hand."
"The opponent's method of concealing his whereabouts is very clever. If the hostility was not too obvious, the little wolves would not be able to discover it."
Although the information provided by Luo He somewhat surprised everyone, Luo He's ability in battlefield intelligence has been trusted by everyone for such a long time. So even though it felt a little strange, he still reacted according to the information.
Tonight we must entertain those uninvited guests.
The terrain in this area does not seem to be suitable for various ambush operations. Because the relatively flat terrain lacks various effective shelters, even if it is difficult for unknown enemies to see the surrounding environment clearly due to the light, they are somewhat aware of it.
Li Shushi still dared not be careless about the various miraculous tracking and counter-tracking abilities of the grassland people.
Even though they still don't know who they want to ambush, Li Shushi doesn't mind imagining the enemy to be more difficult to deal with.
Although judging from the actual results, the enemy's performance seems to be too strong.
"What a group of ghosts that linger!"
Li Shushi could only make this evaluation about the enemies he was fighting against.
Yes, the enemy they are about to face does deserve such an evaluation - not only because of the bad relationship between them and Li Shushi and even the entire Bingzhou Army that seems to be constantly being cut and messed up, but also because these guys are indeed a group of
Dead soul.
However, unlike the group of ghost soldiers Li Shushi encountered underground in Luoyang, even if he only observed with his senses without directly fighting, he could already feel a compelling aura from those dead soldiers.
.
It was even a bit stronger than the momentum emitted by the hundreds of battle elites around him.
Compared with those soldiers, the elites around Li Shushi looked a bit like recruits who had just shed their rookie coats after several wars. Even though they had undergone rigorous training, in the eyes of those veterans who had fought many battles, they still had too many qualities.
The youthfulness, and the flaws exposed by youthfulness - all over the body, from head to toe.
"But such an enemy is powerful enough. It reminded me of the first time I faced a large number of Xianbei horse thieves."
"What's the result?"
"Except for not dying in the end, I probably lost everything I could."
He said such words when he was about to face his opponent, and the speaker was Lu Bu, who was already known as the "God of War in Bingzhou" in private. This was undoubtedly a blow to the morale of the surrounding soldiers, and many of them showed a little timidity on their faces.
His expression, and such an expression is undoubtedly extremely rare for this army that stretches from east to west, north and south.
"Is there any continuation of this story?"
Guan Yu, who had been silent at the side, suddenly spoke, and his eyes that were originally narrowed suddenly widened, staring straight at Lu Bu. If someone who didn't know about it saw it, they might think that there was something about murdering the father between the two.
The hatred of seizing his wife must be finally settled here.
Even Li Shushi had some doubts. If they were not waiting for the arrival of the enemy now, maybe Guan Yu's voice would not be lowered to the level of just speaking normally, but instead would be raised like the third master.
"Haha, the follow-up is that a few years later, the Xianbei horse thieves disappeared on the grassland, and I did it."
I don't know if he understood Guan Yu's thoughts, or if Lu Bu never cared about this in the first place, but even so, the listeners could hear the bloody wind and unyielding power hidden behind it in the light wind and clouds.
As a result, the morale that had dropped slightly due to Lu Bu's words suddenly increased a lot.
It's just that you are full of fighting spirit. Why do you all look so domineering? Isn't this letting the enemy on the opposite side feel your presence in advance?
Hearing the enemy's commotion from afar, Li Shushi suddenly had the urge to cover his face. If it weren't for the time and occasion, he would have wanted to give Guan Yu and Lu Bu a violent shudder.
It was all thanks to these two people that the surprise attack, which was originally a bit of a fluke, turned into a real forceful attack.
This made Li Shushi somewhat helpless, but it was not that he could not understand the thoughts of his generals.
The enemy in front of them is an enemy that really deserves their full attention. Although the number may not be large, or even not as good as their own, they undoubtedly have individual strength that exceeds their own. And this means that if not
The generals who commanded them were too incompetent, and the coordination between them must have been of a considerable level.
This situation is actually not unfamiliar to the Bingzhou Army.
After being baptized by the foreign tribes around Bingzhou and the Western Regions, these elites under Li Shushi were no longer the farmers who didn't know what war was, nor were they the Yellow Turban Army who could charge into battle with just a belief. In this Xiliang Army, they have already
In the moment of defeat, they call themselves "big
"The First Army of the Han Dynasty" may not have much opposition. Therefore, whether facing Yuan Shao or Cao Cao's troops, even if they are at a numerical disadvantage, they are still fearless.
Defeat the opponent with extremely small losses.
Their cooperation, their personal combat effectiveness, and their accumulated battlefield experience, all of this made them look down on most opponents even though the commander Li Shushi who commanded them was not a genius commander and even had unqualified commander potential.
But now, this state seems to be overturned by the enemy in front of them. Can the soldiers and generals who have not faced such a situation for a long time adapt to such a change? Can their psychology withstand such a change?
Li Shushi didn't know.
But thinking about it from another angle, since we recognize the strength of the enemy on the opposite side, if we can defeat such an enemy, does it also mean that the elite soldiers of the Bingzhou Army will make another progress?
It was precisely because of thinking of this that Li Shushi showed understanding towards the fighting-spirited soldiers around him. Even though he was complaining on his lips, his heart was full of pride - only in this way.
Troops who dare to face difficulties and cannot be crushed in the face of powerful enemies can truly be called "elite".
Somehow, Li Shushi thought of the battle at Yanmen when he faced the leader of the bandits.
Perhaps the most profound impression on him in that battle was actually the "falling star" directed by Su Xiaoluoli. But it is undeniable that in the face of the Xianbei Army, which was stronger than them at the time, the newly formed Bingzhou Army was in a few years.
Isn’t the spirit displayed under the leadership of this general similar to today’s?
Maybe the spiritual backbone has been planted long ago, and this army no longer needs him to worry too much about this kind of thing. Maybe Lu Bu's words will affect them to some extent, but in fact it will more likely inspire them to fight.
of**.
At least for now, this kind of emotion is the best state that eyeliner can achieve, isn't it?
Even if they really failed to gain the upper hand during the reception as expected, and the enemy was indeed as powerful as expected, the soldiers did not show any negative emotions such as impatience, fear, or timidity. It can even be said that they were under the command of the generals.
The soldiers who meticulously completed every order were like precision machines, moving without emotion.
In this battle, Li Shushi's effect was still very limited. Apart from adding a good buff to his troops, it had no other use. Instead, it required the energy of some elite soldiers. After all, even with Su Xiaoluoli
It is almost impossible to be protected by experts who can break through, but its relatively fragile HP can still be killed instantly by the enemy's combined attack using the Tiger Talisman if it is not defended by enough soldiers.
Moreover, compared to fighting on the battlefield, he obviously has a task that is not too big or too small, a task that perhaps only he is qualified to undertake - chatting with the enemy's top commander.
Yes, they were indeed chatting, but the atmosphere between the two parties was not too friendly.
But since the other party's top commander is free to chat with Li Shushi, it is obvious that either the other party already has an overwhelming advantage in the battle situation, or the other party actually has a similar status to Li Shushi in the army, although he is nominally the highest commander.
, but it is obviously a bit redundant in actual combat.
The former situation is obviously impossible to happen, otherwise Li Shushi would not be in the mood to chat with the other party like this, not to mention that Li Shushi has enough confidence, even if the soldiers under his command are really slightly inferior to the other party in terms of combat effectiveness, even in a small area
The cooperation seems to be slightly inferior from the ongoing battle, but it is basically impossible for the opponent to establish an advantage that can completely overwhelm the balance of victory in a short period of time.
As for the latter possibility…
"It's really been a long time since we last seen each other. The lady who calls herself 'Yu Ji' has been fresh in my memory of the lady's demeanor since we parted ways in the Western Regions. However, as much as she is like this to me, I'm afraid of her
But that's not necessarily the case. The two young boys in Yanshi were able to escape our pursuit a while ago, and it must have been a lot of effort from my wife."
Under the careless protection of Su Xiaololi, looking at the woman opposite who was still wearing white clothes, the smile on Li Shushi's face did not seem to be affected by the unfavorable battle situation at all.
Pan Sen: I was very busy yesterday, so this is yesterday’s portion. Today’s portion will still be updated in the evening. (To be continued...)
