"That's right, it's really a pleasure to see those clay dolls 'dancing' in the sea of fire with stiff movements~!"
"However, if such a powerful weapon falls into the hands of the enemy...it must be very painful if it hits our own bodies."
"Zilong, don't say such derogatory words at this time. This is a rare moment of celebration. Even if there is no wine, the atmosphere should at least be more lively. Come on~ As a punishment play, eat this leg of lamb,
Only ten seconds left."
"What if I can't do it?" Zilongjiang's face started to turn red inexplicably.
"Well," Li Shushi pretended to be deep in thought, "I'm stupid and can't think of a better way. How about I come up with one with you."
Seeing the way Cao Chun's eyes were shining, Zilongjiang felt that Li Shushi was actually quite smart.
Of course, the most important thing is that when Li Shushi is eating the leg of lamb, don’t jump from one to ten directly!
But thankfully, Li Shushi probably didn't really want to punish Zilong Jiang, so he at least counted ten properly, and the time interval was definitely enough for Zilong Jiang to finish a leg of lamb wholeheartedly.
, this allowed Zilong Jiang to escape.
For some reason, Li Shushi actually heard such a strange mystery from Zilongjiang: "Your subordinate Zilongjiang's loyalty is +5. Now his loyalty has exceeded 100. You can order him to do anything~"
sound.
Considering that Su Xiaololi's expression suddenly turned very dangerous, Li Shushi thought it would be better to pretend that he didn't hear anything.
"But Zilong, you don't need to worry. Although this thing looks simple, there are many doorways inside. Even if the enemy really takes it back completely, it will not be easy to study and understand it. Let alone if they want to
It’s not easy to do it.”
"But it really shocked me that the beautiful fireworks we are familiar with can become such a powerful weapon."
"If you don't have a certain amount of power, how can you send fireworks into the sky, right?"
"This is really magical. I always feel that when I see these new weapons shooting from a long distance, and then hitting those clay puppets with a crackling sound, I feel like I have seen my own future, and I feel a little... lonely.
"
"If you shoot people with bows and crossbows, they will still die. I haven't seen everyone giving up swords, guns, and horses to pick up bows and arrows to fight. Let's not talk about the future. At least for a long time, Zilong and everyone's martial arts will still be of great use.
In the land of martial arts. And not only your martial arts, but your courage to fight bravely on the battlefield can also achieve an effect that cannot be achieved by weapons alone. And even if it is really possible to become the tears of the times, as long as you can fight with the times.
Even though we are making progress together, you are still the ones who are at the forefront of the trend.”
So seeing Zilongjiang's shining eyes, Li Shushi always felt that he seemed to have gained a lot of loyalty and favorability from the other party. At the same time, Su Xiaoluoli also kept her eyes open even though she was wearing calfskin armor.
The curvy body came close to her, but her pretty face turned to the side, with a cute look like "hurry up and divert your attention."
As a result, when Li Shushi was so happy that she gave the other party a big and deep kiss, but was given a pair of hygiene balls by the other party. By the way, she received comments such as "I don't like kisses from big idiots. I had no choice but to accept them, and I was absolutely convinced"
I don’t feel very happy.” But the expression on his face turned from cloudy to sunny, even so bright that it made people feel dazzling.
It felt like if Su Xiaololi’s big shiny golden tail that she had hidden somewhere was still there, it would be fluttering and swaying from side to side now. Of course, it was fortunate that Su Xiaololi’s big tail was not exposed, otherwise I would have feared that Li Shushi would be dead just now.
A certain part of the body will be brutally attacked. Although I don't know if the power of the fox tail can compare with Lolita's iron fist of justice, but I think with Su Xiaololi's fierce fighting power, it is still easy to defeat a scumbag like Li Shushi.
More pleasant.
Well, because the other party is also a big hero today, so it’s okay to indulge occasionally, and it has a different flavor... Control it, control it. Don’t be too attracted to Su Xiaololi, otherwise you will be embarrassed if you can’t get out of bed the next day.
.
Although we won a very exciting victory today, it is still only a small local victory. More such victories need to be accumulated before it can be transformed into a decisive victory against the enemy. If the soldiers were not killed before
The suppression was so severe that Li Shushi actually had no plans to hold any celebration banquet or anything like that. Of course, he could not take the lead and sink into his comfort zone without being able to extricate himself. Otherwise, even if there would not be any immediate adverse effects, over time it would affect Li Shushi's majesty (?)
It will also have an impact.
In order not to become the eldest lady with the same majesty and breasts, Lee Seo-sil, you have to hold on!
The night is getting darker and darker, and there is a bit more coolness that is not there during the day.
In the inland climate, the temperature difference between day and night is always very large. Maybe during the day, the sun will still make you feel the remnants of summer, but at night, you can feel the breath of winter again.
It really changes three times in one day.
Although some new weapons were used today to catch the enemy off guard, and the Bingzhou Army successfully killed a 5,000-man regiment before the enemy could even rescue them. However, this move may also stimulate the enemy's nerves, so the defenses of various camps
The strength has been strengthened a lot in order to prepare for possible retaliatory night attacks by the enemy.
Of course, due to the tonnage of the enemy's army, it is really difficult for the enemy to organize a night attack quietly, but Li Shushi will not take it lightly. After all, he has seen too many unscientific things.
, so even if someone told him that those earth puppets have the ability to make their movements as light and swift as the wind, Li Shushi would not be too surprised.
However, most soldiers can still sleep peacefully and have a good night's sleep.
Fan Chou thought so too.
Although his current spirit still more or less retains the excitement he brought back from the banquet just now.
He certainly had reason to be so excited.
At that time, Dong Zhuo's four great bodyguard generals - Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji - are now the only ones left. The other once prominent figures in the Xiliang Army have also followed Dong Zhuo over the years.
The few remaining single seedlings are of great help to Fan, who once held a very important position in the Xiliang army.
Generally speaking, they are either just a bunch of little shrimps, or people like Ma Teng are not part of the system at all, and their relationship can only be said to be relatively familiar with the township party, and there may be some connections in the confrontation with other factions. But.
It is limited to ensuring that one's own interests will not be encroached upon by other factions.
As for Zhang Xiu, although he claimed to be Zhang Ji's legal successor, the relationship between the two was actually more distant than that of Ma Teng. In any case, Fan Chou and Ma Teng had been ministers in the same palace for many years, not like Zhang Xiu.
Not even a clear impression.
It can be said that when Zhang Ji, the guide who introduced Fan Chou to the Bingzhou Army, died, Fan Chou felt unprecedented loneliness.
But as a reward for taking the initiative to surrender, Li Shushi awarded him the post of governor of Anding County, which seemed to be a sign of great importance. In fact, Fan Chou once felt that it would not be bad to temporarily give up part of the military power in his hands and stay dormant for a while. At least he experienced
After being betrayed by Li Jue and Guo Bang, whom he once regarded as his closest brothers, to the point where they wanted to fight each other with swords, Fan Chou had little fire of ambition left in his heart.
Moreover, as a descendant of Fan Kuai, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, even though his bloodline has been so thin that it has almost disappeared, he still has a little hope that his family can become a new aristocratic family again, and he wants to make his family a new one.
Become an aristocratic family, although
There is no clear hard and fast rule, but the generally accepted standard is that the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren must be able to have at least a few civil officials with two thousand stones in a row. After all, the positions of the three gongs and nine ministers are still scarce, so two thousand stones has become a relatively recognized standard for aristocratic families and their families.
The threshold between local powerful people.
By the way, it is also for this reason. The Sangong and Jiuqing can basically be regarded as the threshold between aristocratic families and sects, especially the position of the Sangong. Those who can be bankers for three generations are definitely the top in the Han Dynasty.
The valve family.
See the Yuan family in Runan and the Yang family in Hongnong who was half crippled by Li Shushi.
It's just that Fan Chou's initial thoughts were beautiful, but the reality was still so cruel after all.
Perhaps only he himself knows how much Fan Chou has read since he was a child, but what is certain is that he spent most of his life in the military career. It is conceivable that for a man who is used to holding a gun,
How difficult it would be for someone with a good temperament to use a pen - some people like Fan Chou are like this because they are not talented enough.
A lack of confidence makes it easy to show cowardice, and some, like Dong Zhuo, develop a more straightforward style during their military career. Perhaps in the military, such an approach would be very popular among officers and soldiers, but in official circles
Those who are always unwilling to speak clearly will naturally feel particularly uncomfortable.
After all, Dong Zhuo still had a son-in-law, Li Ru, by his side to help him solve problems, but what about Fan Chou?
Either he was tempted away by Li Jue and Guo Si, or he found another job after Fan Chou took refuge with Li Shushi. The only ones who could truly guarantee that Fan Chou would always follow him regardless of whether he was in great power or in dire straits were his personal soldiers.
.
Therefore, in the past few years as the prefect of Anding, Fan Chou may be regarded as quite prosperous in the eyes of outsiders, but he really knows what he is like.
So even if Li Shushi dismissed him because of his unsatisfactory performance evaluation scores, apart from the unpleasantness of saying it, it might be a relief for Fan Chou, but not necessarily.
But this time, he could finally return to the familiar territory, the battlefield where he could perform to his heart's content.
Although he was destined not to be the protagonist on the battlefield, the air on the battlefield was still much freer than in the officialdom.
It was pitch dark in the camp, and there was no fire or lamp.
This kind of work should have been taken care of by Fan Chou's personal guards in advance. Although they are a group of northwest guys like Fan Chou, who are very good at fighting on the battlefield, they are almost unable to deal with the trivial things in life, but they still get along after all.
Over time, at least such a simple thing will not cause Fan Chou any inconvenience.
The reason why such an accident occurred today is because those reckless men were still munching on large pieces of stewed meat.
Even though no drinks were provided, in order to celebrate today's victory, Li Shushi still ordered the slaughter of a large number of pigs and sheep, so that ordinary soldiers could get at least nearly two kilograms of meat. In addition, several fields were cleared to hold ball games.
After all, only a few people returned to their tents so early.
If it weren't for his uneasy mood today, Fan Chou would have gone to the arena to play one or two games anyway.
Speaking of which, the greatest achievement of the former Anding Prefect during his tenure was that he conducted a large-scale education on Li's heavy rugby in Anding and surrounding areas, and even successfully tempted local and surrounding powerful people and businessmen to enter the territory.
Five fairly small golf courses have been built, and they can probably be regarded as landmarks by the locals.
Um?!
As soon as he stepped into his tent, every muscle in Fan Chou's body immediately tensed up.
There was someone! And it was a powerful enemy that he felt he could not resist!
Although, this pressure that made Fan Chou even a little breathless made Fan Chou feel extremely familiar.
Who is it that can have such strong and domineering pressure?
Fan Chou was not sure. After all, even Lu Xiaoqiang, the apparent top master of the Bingzhou Army, gave Fan Chou more of a feeling of arrogance, rather than the fact that a superior looked down upon a subordinate.
As for Old Man Tong Yuantong, the secretly number one expert in the Bingzhou Army, because people rarely see him take action, and Fan Chou has no chance to ask for advice from the chief coach of the Bingzhou Army, so his impressions of him are limited to various kinds.
Such a legend that is hard to tell whether it is true or not.
only……
If you put aside the choice of being limited to the living, this pressure becomes extremely familiar.
It can even be said that there is a little bit of intimacy.
But how is that possible? Boss Dong has been dead for six or seven years.
...No, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Fan Chou suddenly thought that although theoretically speaking, people cannot be resurrected, so the dead should not be included in his consideration, but the Bingzhou Army is actually an extremely unscientific existence, so it has also attracted a lot of unscientific things.
Around it, in the distance were the undead legions that once ravaged the northern grasslands, and right in front of them was the puppet legion they had just defeated.
Maybe Boss Dong died unjustly and his resentful soul became a lonely ghost?
It is said that Dong Zhuo did die in Chang'an City. Therefore, it is not surprising to encounter his wandering soul here.
However, considering that he did not have any research in this area, maybe it was just his own imagination. Fan Chou felt that he should still go to some "professionals" to ask. No matter whether his idea was right or wrong, there seemed to be no disadvantage.
Of course, deep down in his heart, Fan Chou still hopes that his somewhat "fantasy" ideas can really come true.
After all, after losing the life-and-death friendship between brothers, the relationship between monarch and minister with Dong Zhuo can be regarded as one of the few things in Fan Chou's heart that is still full of beautiful feelings.
"Haha. It's really hard for you Fan Chou to still remember me, but I'm really sorry that I'm not a lonely ghost now."
Just when Fan Chou was about to turn around and leave, a strange but very familiar voice sounded behind him. At the same time, he also saw that the original exit passage had been occupied by two dark figures.
.
"Who are you...?"
Although he had an answer in his mind, before the mystery was revealed, Fan Chou still acted as if he was ready to fight back at any time, scanning the dark figures around him with vigilant eyes.
Let’s not talk about the identity of the other party, nor how the other party sneaked into his camp. Simply put, the current situation is unprecedentedly unfavorable for Fan Chou.
In a dark space, top warriors may be able to rely on many other senses to replace the role of vision in detecting enemies. Even for many top warriors, the role of vision is not as good as these non-visual feelings and intuition for combat.
However, Fan Chou is obviously far from reaching that level. At present, he still relies on vision for most of his judgments, and other senses can only be regarded as an auxiliary.
On the other hand, even if his enemy is not an innocent soul, he can never exist in the form of a living person. Then the influence of the dark environment on the opponent will be weakened to a very low level. In addition, Fan Chong has one enemy with many, but the enemy
One of them far surpassed him in strength. As a result, Fan Chou felt that he was really in trouble this time.
As for whether these guys are fake, Fan Chou ruled out this possibility at the first time. Not to mention that such momentum and feeling are definitely not something ordinary people can have. Even if it is really someone else pretending, then the strength of the pretender is not
Definitely at least one level higher than Fan Chong.
If he was facing Dong Zhuo, then Fan Chou felt that maybe this battle would not necessarily kill him. After all, he did not turn into a "dead man" like Boss Dong immediately, which meant that there was at least one relationship between the two sides.
Talk, or at least give yourself a chance to write your last words.
But if the other party is deliberately pretending to be Dong Zhuo, then I'm afraid there must be a life-or-death relationship between the two parties.
After all, it wouldn't be some hidden power in the Bingzhou Army who came over to joke with me.
"That's a good reaction. Let's see how much you, Fan Chou, have regressed in the past few years."
Then Fan Chou found that he had been surrounded by three groups of black shadows.
But inexplicably, Fan Chou was relieved in his heart. After all, he didn't have to face that man directly, and he didn't have to face that man who was far stronger than him. He was really lucky.
"I hope you won't behave too badly and disappoint me. Also, I would like to remind you: Even if you don't have me, don't underestimate the other three people. They are full of special feelings and want to 'reminisce about the past' with you."
Then, a burst of weird laughter came from Fan Chou's tent, and a faint scream hidden in the laughter.
At this moment, even the moon overhead was obscured by dark clouds that came from nowhere.
Or maybe Miss Moon found something to cover up her shame. (To be continued...)
