the hills
Then I cursed a lot and hit the leg of the bed with my fist.
Holding his bloody fist, he said irritably: "Here we go again, here we go again, this matter is over when it comes to me. I have given you a lot of respect. Do you know why? Because you are also a
We are veterans, and we have been friends. I hope that next time..."
"Slowly, slowly, who dares to be friends with the Inspector General? What happened to the people who were your brothers? Did they die during the charge or were they shot?"
Having said this, I couldn't help but smile. The soldiers outside were still laughing, and their laughter was extremely harsh.
He shook his fists and stood up, staring at Tai He.
"Are you insulting them? Are you insulting some people who are willing to sacrifice? Don't you think it's shameful? Those people are not as smart as you, and they won't hide when bullets fly, but they are willing to sacrifice for the country.
Since you don't like to talk about His Majesty, then fine, let's not talk about His Majesty. If we don't sacrifice and win as soon as possible, when will the people get stability?
In that battle at the seaside, there was a firepower gap between us and them, so why did we win? That was filled in by people! It was filled in by the fools and lunatics in your eyes!
Open your eyes and see how the residents of the royal capital are treated. Don't you feel heartbroken? Some sacrifices are worth it."
Tai He sneered. None of these words could penetrate his ears. This was due to a disagreement in ideas.
He shook his head and crawled back to bed to sleep.
"you……"
The inspector general's punch hit the cotton. He walked to the door angrily, but felt angry again. He turned around and said: "If you can be faster, we can take advantage of the night to capture the palace. God knows what will happen tomorrow."
What does it look like? The strength of the enemy and ourselves is unknown, so taking the palace as soon as possible is the best choice."
"Close the door."
Then I was very angry. He wanted to jerk off this little platoon leader now. He has this power.
He even had reason to shoot Tai He, which was considered disobedience.
After closing the door forcefully, the chief inspector looked at the few soldiers eavesdropping outside, and then left.
The artist happened to be one of them, and he was ready to chuckle. The platoon leader in the room shouted: "Artist! Get in, get in!"
"I called you."
"I heard it."
Feeling uneasy, the artist quietly opened a crack in the door and walked in with a smile.
The platoon leader closed his eyes and asked leisurely: "Have the sentry arrangements been made?"
"The light and dark sentries have been arranged."
"Shine your eyes brightly, and don't let others touch you while you're asleep. Okay, get out."
"It's an order."
"etc."
Tai He opened his eyes: "Have you calculated the casualties today?"
"Four of our platoon died."
"Including Xiang Du?"
"Forget it."
"I know, don't disturb my sleep."
The artist acted like a helpful housekeeper. After going out, he closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to breathe in the room, and he only lost his temper when he knew he was the platoon leader.
However, my platoon leader is really tough and dares to confront the inspector head-on. Most people really don't have the courage.
After I relaxed, Tai He shouted again: "Get some water, I need to take medicine."
In a three-story house not far away, Da Zhuang and Yu Lian had divided the night before and after, with Da Zhuang staying the first half of the night.
"Then I'll sleep."
Yu Lian walked to the bed, which had a thick mattress. He put the gun aside, felt the softness of the mattress, and put his whole body up.
Just when he lay down, he felt an inexplicable sense of weightlessness. His whole body was falling rapidly, as if he was ten thousand meters high in the sky.
In panic, he scratched his hands upwards, trying to grab a life-saving straw.
But when people are 10,000 meters high in the sky, they have no leverage.
Breaking out in a cold sweat, Yu Lian rolled to the floor and looked at the bed in shock. That place was really scary.
"Are you having a seizure?"
Da Zhuang ran over and pulled Yu Lian to his feet. The latter grabbed Da Zhuang's arm and refused to let go.
There is still the last glimmer of light in the sky, and in a few minutes, this light will disappear.
Yu Lian slowly let go of his hands, collapsed on the ground and said, "I feel like I'm falling, as if I'm lying in a cloud, and I keep falling. It's so strange."
"It's normal. I'm used to sleeping on a hard surface, so I'm definitely not used to it when I go back to a warm bed."
"Yeah, I've forgotten about it. It's better to sleep on the ground to be at ease."
Da Zhuang returned to their post, and they dug a hole in the wall as an observation point, which was much safer than the window.
He noticed the quiet city. When it got dark, it seemed like he was back to the past, only sparsely populated. But when it was daytime, it felt like he was back to reality.
Yu Lian couldn't fall asleep, so he simply lay down behind Da Zhuang, closed his eyes and said, "Can't sleep, can we chat for a while?"
Being on duty was boring, but Da Zhuang didn't mind talking.
"Who is that little fat guy?"
"He's my nephew."
"Also a noble."
"That's for sure." Yu Lian leaned on his arms and turned over, "No need to ask. Know-how always kills nobles behind their backs. I'm tired of hearing it. When will he say it in front of me?"
Da Zhuang looked back and saw that the little fat man was a relative of Yu Lian. No wonder he couldn't sleep. He returned his gaze to the street and said, "Don't worry about him. Those stupid boys were deceived quite a lot. That's right."
Well, Mr. Yu Lian, you know Luohan, right?"
"You know him too?"
"How do you feel about this person?"
Yu Lian closed his eyes and thought for a while before replying: "I can't see through him, not at all. He doesn't look like a businessman. Why are you asking him?"
"I have received favors from him. Like you, I can't see through this person."
"It seems we are not smart enough."
Da Zhuang laughed twice, and the two were silent for less than a minute. He asked another question: "Don't you think this battle is weird?"
"What's weird?"
"We have been delayed for so long. According to common sense, the Taihui people have enough time to march north. With their intelligence capabilities, it is impossible not to know that our army is stalled. But when we got here, we only encountered this little
Enemies, aren't you surprised? What do they want to do? Do they want to wait for us to surrender? Will the emperor surrender?"
Several questions were raised, and Yu Lian was also thinking. He recalled the scenes that happened today, and then concluded: "No, they have no intention of asking us to surrender. If they want to force the emperor to surrender, they have plenty of opportunities, let alone send the Atonement Army.
come over.
If I were the enemy's commander, I would definitely surround the entire royal capital and send representatives to negotiate. Think about it, who are the Atonement Army? They are not the official establishment of Taihui's army at all. So, they did not ask us to surrender.
plan."
"Then what do they want? It's obviously best for us to surrender. It's completely unreasonable for them to continue fighting. I really don't understand."
Yu Lian turned over again and patted his big buttocks twice: "If you don't understand, don't think about it. Some people will think about this problem, and it has nothing to do with us."
After a topic ended, there was another brief silence, and Da Zhuang took the initiative to ask: "What did you say to the platoon leader?"
"I told him there was a secret passage leading to the palace, but I didn't know where the entrance to the secret passage was."
"So I was assigned to clean up the house."
"Yes."
Not long after, a low snore sounded. Da Zhuang turned around and looked around, and saw that Yu Lian had already fallen asleep.
(recommended to skip)
The night was getting darker, and in the Nancheng District of the Royal Capital, a figure was walking quietly through the streets and alleys.
The city had been at war all day, but now it has calmed down.
But these things have little to do with Xiang Du, he is already a commoner.
And the first place he went to was not to escape from the north, but to the south. There was an orphanage in the south, where she had been.
The iron door of the orphanage is open, and the children who Xiang Duxin misses may be inside, although the lights are not turned on here.
He walked into the yard with ease, and a particularly disgusting smell penetrated his nose mercilessly.
He had smelled this smell from far away.
The furnishings in the orphanage are still the same, except that there is a small hill in the middle, which is five meters high, and the stench is emitted from here.
Xiang Du pinched his nose and recognized several dogs near the hill. The dogs lowered their heads and gnawed on the hill.
Do dogs also eat dirt?
He thought for a moment, then walked closer. The dogs became alert, their glowing eyes proclaiming their sovereignty in the dark night.
There were two other dogs competing for the same piece of food. At a certain moment, Xiang Du recognized the piece of food as the arm of a young human.
It is difficult to imagine his mood at that time, and it is also difficult to know how he felt after learning the truth about the hill.
One thing is for sure, after learning the truth, coupled with the erosion of the stench, Xiangdu's stomach was turned upside down.
The dogs watched the man vomiting.
