Xiang Mi took a breath of air, widened his eyes, and shook his head in disbelief: "This, how is this possible? Is there something wrong with Fat Chang Shi?"
Murong Lan said calmly: "It is said that Liu Muzhi grew up with Liu Yu since he was a child. He was a brother-in-law and joined the army to serve the country with him. He has been his most loyal supporter for so many years and has even helped him deal with the mafia.
He is also Liu Yu's eyes, ears and eyesight. Liu Yu trusts him, even more than he trusts me. In any case, you should not doubt him."
Xiang Mi nodded: "That's right. For so many years, Brother Jinu has been surrounded by warriors like us. The only literati who can be trusted is Liu Muzhi, and at most half of Xu Xianzhi. If even
They can’t believe it either, so who else can Brother Jinu trust?”
Murong Lan sighed: "Tieniu, if you don't come into contact with these intelligence matters, there are many things you don't understand. As soldiers, you only need to fight face to face with the enemy in front of you, without thinking about what is happening around you or behind you, because all along,
Liu Yu will protect you very well. The only time I was framed by one of my own and almost lost my life was by Gotohashizawa, right."
Xiang Mi smiled and said: "We are soldiers, we just have to fight, and we don't need to think too much about anything else. It's just that that time at Wuqiaozawa..." At this point, the memory of Wuqiaozawa that time came to mind again.
Corpses were strewn across the fields, and flames were rising into the sky. It seemed that the screams and curses of his comrades before they died could be heard in his ears, and the stench of roasting human flesh also penetrated Xiang Mi's nose.
Here, this made his expression change.
Murong Lan saw the change in Xiang Mi's expression and sighed: "That's it. When we were in Beifu before, we were brothers who ate, lived, and practiced together. We were together for more than a year. I
I also have feelings for you, but during the Battle of Wuqiaoze, I was on the opposite side of you and was your enemy, just like today, because at that time I was the princess of the Yan Kingdom and I would fight with you until death.
Opponent, my sword is also stained with the blood of Beifu soldiers."
Xiang Mi closed his eyes in pain and murmured: "Stop talking, sister-in-law, stop talking about this, I feel uncomfortable in my heart."
Murong Lan gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "I feel equally uncomfortable in my heart. Among the people who died under my sword were soldiers I was very familiar with, including Li Shoucai from Building 11 and Wang Bianye from Building 22. They were both me.
Although I killed them with my own hands because their whole bodies were on fire and they were helpless, and they begged me to give them a happy life, after all, it was me who took their lives, and I was the one who usually treated them like a brother, Tieniu, you know
Well, after all these years, their faces are still dazzling in front of my eyes. Whenever I think of them, I can't eat or sleep!"
Xiang Mi opened his eyes, looked at Murong Lan, and murmured: "Sister-in-law, when you tell me this, do you want to show that people who do intelligence work have their own positions, or even do it as a last resort? But Fat Chang
His position has always been with Brother Jinu. There can be no conflict."
Murong Lan sighed: "You may not be clear about some things. No matter what Liu Muzhi says, he is a scholar, and he is now considered a middle-class family. His position and ideas are different from those of you military warriors.
It's different, just like this time during the war, your son was playing at home, but he arranged for his nephew to join the army early. In a few years, his three sons will also join the army and perform meritorious service. All these are for meritorious service and titles.
, making the Liu family’s foundation more stable.”
Xiang Mi gritted his teeth: "What's the point? Of course these literati think this way, but that doesn't mean he has any dissatisfaction with Brother Jinu."
Murong Lan shook his head: "Not now, because their goals and positions are the same, but things may change in the future, just like Jinu and Xile, they were once brothers who lived and died together, why did they come to this point?
?Isn’t it just because of power and ambition that ambitions have deviated?”
Xiang Mi frowned: "No, Brother Xile also wants to go to the Northern Expedition and make achievements, but..." When he said this, he sighed and shook his head.
Murong Lan said sternly: "That's it. The reason why Liu Yi and Liu Yu are having such a trouble is not because he doesn't want to make progress like those children from aristocratic families, but because he also wants to make contributions. He even thinks that if he sits in Liu Yu's position
If you go up, you will do better, and Liu Yu has experienced the tragedy of having his life in the hands of others for so many years, and finally having his wife and children separated. He will never give up his power to others again. He can share it, but he will not let it go.
Others are riding on his head, this is the source of the conflict between him and Liu Yu, do you understand, Tieniu?!"
Xiang Mihaha smiled: "Of course I understand, and I understand even better that there can only be one person in the army who can keep his word. This person is Brother Jinu. No matter it is a tiger talisman or any other emperor's scepter, it cannot replace Brother Jinu."
In my position, I will fight whoever he wants me to fight, even if I am facing the emperor."
Murong Lan laughed: "You old brothers, you can indeed blindly obey Liu Yu even if you don't want to die. This was proved on the horse show back then. However, the world has its own rules, just like you can do this for
Liu Yu went to fight and die, but what about the sergeants under your command and the sergeants’ families? Do they also have this feeling?"
Xiang Mi glared: "How dare these brats rebel? Can they not listen to my orders? Just like just now, as long as you control me, you can get through the battle safely."
Murong Lan shook his head: "Tieniu, don't think about it. If you just ordered the formation to be released for me to pass through, but you didn't let me control it, wouldn't there be someone who fired arrows against the order? These thousands of people
Sergeant, are everyone listening to your order to indulge the enemy?"
Xiang Mi was speechless now and could only stare.
Murong Lan said sternly: "All orders in the world need rules and tokens to convey. It does not rely on this kind of brotherhood, because brothers are limited after all. No matter how loyal one person is, it is impossible for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people to be conveyed.
They all became brothers with him. Even Liu Yu, whose reputation is greater than his loyalty, is the only one he can really make friends with. You are the thousands of comrades who joined the army together and lived and died together. Moreover, after so many years, people like you Tieniu
Old fellows, they all died and retreated, and those who are still in the army are only a few hundred."
Speaking of this, Murong Lan paused: "So, if Jinnu wants more brothers, more people, and everyone in the world to serve him, he must establish a system that listens to his orders, instead of just
Brothers who live and die together, drink wine and eat meat, and Liu Muzhi is the one who established this system for him, and this is what we need to worry about the most!"
