Chapter 104 Returning to the banner to show the spirit of the army
Lao Lu's question made everyone around him quiet, and you could hear a pin drop. A group of people stared at Tong Yin, waiting for his answer.
Hearing this, Tong Yin was silent for a long time. Seeing that everyone was waiting for his reply, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Return date? I want to know too?" After saying that, he remained silent, looking a little lonely.
When Aunt Liu heard this, she squeezed Lao Lu's hand even more tightly.
Lao Lu patted her hand gently to express comfort. He said to Tong Yin: "Look at these old brothers here, the youngest ones are over forty. Brother Helian Biao is already sixty-five this year.
Right? How many of them are still intact?"
Zhang Sui took a look at the veterans around him. Sure enough, they were all either old or disabled, not weak at all. Even the old man named He Lianbiao mentioned by Lao Lu was all covered in lumps and hair.
His beard is all white, and he is not weak and has nothing to do with it.
Tong Yin was speechless when he heard this.
However, a younger sergeant who followed Tong Yin couldn't help but said: "Senior, this time the Red Flame Army is reorganized, all the original leaders at all levels have been lost. This is a good opportunity for everyone to show off their talents. Please join us.
It is just around the corner to be promoted to a noble title and to honor our ancestors. Is it necessary to be so hesitant and push back and forth?"
As soon as these words came out, all the veterans turned their heads and looked at him quietly, with unclear meaning in their eyes.
Tong Yin, who was a little depressed at first, was furious when he heard this. He grabbed the wine bottle on the table and hit the sergeant on the head, knocking him to the ground. Blood was flowing from his head, and his face was in disbelief!
Tong Yin cursed angrily: "Get out! Do you have the right to speak? If you can't speak, shut your mouth! Lao Fang, let him go out and watch the horses."
Another older sergeant nodded, nodded to everyone to apologize, stepped forward and grabbed the still dazed sergeant by the collar, lifted him up with one hand, and threw him directly at the door.
Got out.
Tong Yin turned around and looked at the strange expressions on everyone's faces, and said with a wry smile: "Some people in the court mixed the sand with them, and I can't refuse. It's a bit brainless."
When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised. They were familiar with this matter!
There were many people like this in the Red Flame Army in the past. The general was out leading the troops, and it was impossible for the court to be completely at ease. There was a need for such people to exist.
But it's really rare to find someone as mindless as this one who just wants to achieve success.
You De said on the side: "I'm still wondering if there is something wrong with this man's brain, and I just wanted Lao Jiang to treat him!"
Old Jiang, who had a grimace on his face, rarely showed an ugly smile.
Lao Lu said: "I'm just saying that Tong Lao Gui doesn't want us old guys to promote you and give you a title. What is the situation now? Please give us a clear explanation."
Tong Yin looked a little strange and said: "The current Red Flame Army is no longer the original Red Flame Army!"
Lao Lu frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Tong Yin sighed: "This time the Red Flame Army lost 80% of its elite. The government wants the general to recruit personnel from several other armies to supplement the Red Flame Army and form combat strength as soon as possible. However, there is a condition that he must send a man with real power.
Deputy.
The general didn't care at first, because this was also the normal operation of the imperial court's checks and balances. However, after the general had a conversation with the deputy who was about to be sent, he directly rejected the imperial court's suggestion. Instead, he decided to recall the veterans who were willing to go back and recruit new soldiers by himself.
.”
Lao Lu asked: "What's going on?"
Tong Yin sighed: "That deputy is a dove!"
Lao Lu and the other veterans looked confused, and Zhang Sui and a group of people listening to the excitement also had no idea.
Seeing that everyone present looked confused, Tong Yin gritted his teeth and said: "Since the Hengduan Mountains were erected in the black forest, after those monsters appeared, and after the first battle between us and them in the jungle, didn't the imperial court send a few
Would you like to come over and check the situation?
There was no movement for two consecutive months, and we didn't pay much attention to it. Later we found out that those worshipers had actually brought a high-ranking member of those monsters back to the court.
Unexpectedly, those monsters actually had a kingdom underground, and it was quite large. The monster's top leaders brought some things back to Tianjing City along with those offerings.
When I arrived at Tianjing City, I dedicated some things to the palace and several princes' palaces through those few offerings.
Later, the person above summoned him, and I don’t know what he said in the court. The court was divided into two factions. One faction suggested that these alien races should be wiped out directly while they were still unsteady to avoid future troubles.
.
But other people don't know what they were bewitched by, but they insist on trading some supplies with those foreign races and living in peace. Isn't this nonsense?!
But for some reason, the man above him refused to comment on the two opinions. As a result, the two groups became evenly matched in the court."
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this!
Cheng Di's eyes widened with anger, he stood up directly, his head was full of anger, his body was filled with lightning, and the artifacts appeared directly in his hand, and he shouted: "How can there be such a short-sighted person in the court, who is not of my race?
His heart must be different! Not to mention that many of our people have been sacrificed in blood in Dingzhou Prefecture, and countless soldiers in the army have been killed! They should be killed! They should be killed! They should be killed!!!"
Two words appeared directly in Zhang Sui's mind: "Rape!!!"
When Tong Yin saw Cheng Di's strange behavior, he was secretly frightened, and continued: "These things only happened in the past three months, and the hidden truth has not spread. This is what we heard when the general cursed in the camp.
, but in the end, we were ordered not to spread the word, so as not to affect the morale of the military.
Those hard-liners who advocate the annihilation of alien races are called short-sighted bears by the pacifists, while those who are pacifist are called docile doves by the hard-liners.
The two sides argued about this matter in the court for nearly two months, and even fought many times in the Jinluan Palace. If the one above had not sent the most violent ones to the prison for a few days to calm down, the entire Jinluan Palace would have been demolished.
.
Later, I don't know what means the dove people used to persuade the person above to use them to be the real deputy in defense against the aliens.
That guy didn't want to avenge the dead old guys at all, and even suggested that the place already occupied by monsters should be abandoned directly, saying that it was no longer suitable for human survival anyway, so it was better to give it to monsters directly, which was still a favor. The general talked to him
After that, he almost chopped the guy up on the spot.
In the end, he directly rejected the imperial court's suggestion to deploy soldiers to supplement the Red Flame Army, and directly asked the imperial court to allocate funds to reorganize it himself.
Fortunately, with the support of the Bear Faction, the superiors approved the general’s plan. This is how we old guys started to recall veterans from all over the place.”
After everyone listened to his words, they realized that there was such a tortuous experience. Many people with upright personalities began to curse.
Zhang Sui sighed: "The heaven and earth are undergoing great changes, and the human race is in great catastrophe. Sure enough, whenever the human race reaches such a time, some damned guys will always appear.
At this time, if the human race does not work together and is still doing this kind of thing, the imperial court is looking for death!"
Du Teng scolded: "When I first became the leader, I encountered a rebellion by the barbarians, and my hometown was raided by the barbarians. Now I just said that I should practice hard for a few days, and I just got some insights, but my hometown just disappeared! Now!
Where is the logic?!"
Cheng Di directly said to Lao Lu and Zhang Sui: "Brother Lu, Second Young Master, I will go first and go to the city lord's mansion to talk to my father-in-law to see if I can get some news from him. I will attend the appointment on time tomorrow!"
After saying that, he bowed to everyone, said sorry, and left directly.
Tong Yin looked at his back and asked Lao Lu, "Who is this?"
Lao Lu said: "Cheng Di, the commander of the Qingyi Guards of Kunzhou Prefecture!"
Tong Yin nodded and said: "He is a powerful person!"
Lao Lu asked: "Is there a time limit for summoning us old brothers this time?"
Tong Yin looked at the people around him and said: "Within twenty days, if you are willing to return to the Red Flame Army, you can come to Kunzhoufu Military Camp to find me before the twenty-fifth of this month. Then I will meet with several other veterans.
Brothers meet up and return to Jiannan Road together. I will repeat what the general said, this is not a military order, but a request! Please consider it more, brothers!"
After saying that, he stood up, put one foot on the ground, and bowed deeply!
Seeing this, everyone put away their hip-hop statues and bowed solemnly in return.
Seeing this, Tong Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense heartstrings relaxed a lot.
Lao Lu pressed him on the chair and said with a smile: "Okay, now that we have finished talking about business matters, it is time for our private matters. Today is my big day, Lao Lu, and I, Lao Lu, are very grateful and very pleased that you brothers can come here to support me.
.
After all, we were able to climb out of the mountain of corpses and save our lives because of God’s mercy. And it’s even more difficult to be able to gather here together. Come on, let’s raise our glasses and respect the God who has shown mercy!”
After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Everyone also drank it all in one gulp.
Aunt Liu looked at Lao Lu with tenderness on her face and filled his cup.
Lao Lu said again: "With this second glass of wine, I want to pay tribute to my wife. I, Lao Lu, was originally a dying person, and I just wanted to return to my hometown to live out my remaining life. But when I met her, she didn't mind that I was a cripple.
Baldhead, you have served me and accompanied me with all your heart, and now you have left a seed in my old path. For this love and intention, I can only repay her with my life. I only hope that I will not let her down in this life, the next life, and the next life.
!”
When everyone heard this, they cheered loudly.
Aunt Liu was even more filled with tears when she heard it, and the tenderness in her eyes was able to break away from the habit of thinking that she was a tough guy.
Zhang Sui also sighed secretly at the side, you can't tell, this old way coaxes people to do one thing after another, no wonder Aunt Liu will be taken down by him! It's true that a person cannot be judged by appearance!
After Lao Lu finished speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp in front of Aunt Liu!
Aunt Liu couldn't drink, so she picked up a cup of tea amidst the cheers of the crowd and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, she even lit up the bottom of the cup, not a drop was left!
Lao Lu laughed, hugged Aunt Liu in his arms, and ignored her coquettishness.
After a while of commotion, Lao Lu saw that Aunt Liu, who had been busy all day, showed some tiredness on her face, and quickly called Xi Rou and asked her to send Aunt Liu back to her room to rest. After Aunt Liu bowed to everyone, with Xi Rou's support
Went back to the bedroom in the backyard.
After Aunt Liu left, the group of elders in front became even more relaxed. Although there were a few women from the Nanli Sect among them, were they women? They were proper tomboys!
Lao Lu poured a glass of wine and stood up. Everyone knew that he had something to say and gradually became quiet.
Lao Lu looked calm and said in a deep voice: "This glass of wine is dedicated to the brothers who died in this disaster. May they rest in peace underground!" After saying that, he poured the wine directly on the ground.
When everyone saw this, they stood up one after another and poured the wine in their glasses on the ground, including Zhang Sui, Dewey and others!
Lao Lu's originally smiling face slowly turned ferocious, and there was a strong chill in his voice as he said: "I, Lao Lu, have been in the army for many years. People who know me in the army call me Lu Shanren, hehe. Okay, now
Those who call me this way are almost dead at once, and it will not be easy to hear them again in the future.
I just didn't expect that the big men in the court were not thinking about them resisting the foreigners and bloodshed, but they were busy trading with those things. It seems that it is impossible to expect those big men to avenge their brothers. In this case,
Just let us do it ourselves!”
The breathing of the surrounding veterans gradually became heavier, as if the beast in their blood was slowly awakening.
Seeing this, Tong Yin whispered to Lao Lu: "But you..."
Before he could finish his words, Lao Lu suddenly looked over with his eyes that turned scarlet and was speechless.
Lao Lu said with a sinister smile: "I even have a kid now, so what do I have to worry about? Why don't you worry about those things? It's still uncertain who will live and who will die?"
Luo Fang, who was missing his arm, also came closer, with a malicious smile on his face, and said: "Damn it, I said that my technique has broken through the people who haven't tried it yet. It seems that I don't have to worry about it now! Look at this time
Those brats still say that my martial arts are rubbish, but they have to let them slash my butt with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and really open my eyes!"
You De came closer with a grimace and said: "Damn it, I just said that I would be stable for a few days and live a good life. Immortal Banban, now it's in trouble again! Lao Du, don't blame me for just leaving. When the time comes, you can
Find some more guardians to help you, I won’t serve you any more! Damn it, what kind of guardians are you? They are worse than any handyman!"
Du Teng scratched his unconventional red hair with an irritated look, and was about to curse a few words, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back and finally said: "Xianren Banban, how could Lao Feng let me
Run away? Just wait, I’m asking you. When I get here, I’ll probably come and take someone away! Damn it, I don’t know how many melon rinds I can leave in my teaching?!”
Although all the veterans were complaining, in the end, even the sixty-five-year-old He Lianbiao cursed and said that he would live directly in the military camp after going back to clean up the guys.
Only then did Zhang Sui realize that the old man was actually a blacksmith, no wonder he was covered in lumps.
Zhang Sui looked at this group of people from the side, and it was impossible not to be moved in his heart. Although everyone was scolding loudly, but in the face of the death of his robe, his former army was in trouble, and his general climbed up and shouted,
