Chapter 776

The waiting time is always excruciating.

Chu Qing didn't even know what he was waiting for. When the Ma Gong camp cavalry came back, he would be in a very bad mood, very bad, very bad, because there must be casualties. Even if only one person died in battle, his mood would be extremely bad.

.

But if only one person really died in the battle, he would have to burn incense.

This is the border army, and there will never be good news.

Food and salary payments are low again.

There was no food in the camp again.

Which brother is sick again.

Which border town did the cold thieves attack again?

And again, and again, and again, even the border troops are used to it. They are used to so many "again"s, so many "again"s that make them numb to bad news.

"Brother-in-law."

A soft call brought Chu Qing's thoughts back to reality. Tao Shaozhang, who was wearing a Confucian robe and looked a little haggard, squatted beside him at some point.

"Why are you here?"

Looking at the flat-headed brother from Changjing who has never won a fight or lost an argument, Chu Qing was confused: "I didn't remember to bring you here with me."

"I know that the frontier army went on an expedition today and went to the Marshal's Mansion to look for you. When he saw that you were not there, he came on horseback." Tao Shaozhang patted the sand on his trouser legs and asked, "Are you worried?"

Chu Qing said nothing.

Tao Shaozhang smiled: "I want to keep worrying. I have to worry every time. Can you agree to Brother Yu?"

Chu Qing didn't know why: "What do you mean?"

"Let me tell you something. Normally, it's hard to talk about. I've never told anyone else."

Fu San, Chang Xian, Nangong Ping, Xiao Yi, and Tian Hailong immediately squatted down, gathered in a row, and pricked up their ears. They liked to hear unspeakable things.

Tao Shaozhang didn't take it seriously: "Seeing you squatting here, I know you are worried about the safety of the soldiers, and I feel uncomfortable, right?"

"Yes, I feel bad."

"Brother Yu is also feeling uncomfortable, and Brother Yu is also worried. Brother Yu, you have to worry forever, and so should you."

Smiling, Tao Shaozhang continued: "What Brother Yu wants to tell you...is actually about your views on me. I know that you think I am stupid and stupid, right?"

Everyone nodded, but Xiao Yi couldn't help but said: "It just looks silly, I haven't heard of it. Lord Tao, tell me about it, let the brothers have fun."

Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry, but Tao Shaozhang knew his feelings well.

The elder brother-in-law showed a wry smile: "Whether I am an official or an elder brother, whether I am your uncle, Ruolin's elder brother, or the young minister of Dali Temple, I only believe in one truth."

“Single trouble on your own people?”

"That's natural, to pick... nonsense, what to pick on one's own people? What Brother Yu wants to say is that I, Tao Shaozhang, am stupid, but I am self-aware. I know that I can't change the world, I can't control so many people, and I can't control so many things.

, so you can't change the world, but Brother Yu can only do one thing, that is, refuse to be changed by the world, and never be changed by the world."

Tao Shaozhang looked extremely serious: "Remember Brother Yu's words, even if you can't change the world, you must refuse to be changed by the world!"

"You can't change the world, so you have to refuse to be changed by the world?"

"Yes." Tao Shaozhang turned to look at the troops under the city gate and said in a deep voice: "It's a good thing that you worry. I'm afraid that one day, you won't worry anymore. I'm afraid that one day, you will be numb and become accustomed to it. When the time comes,

At that time, you have been changed by the world. In your eyes, those injustices are just ordinary. In your eyes, the tragic soldiers who went out to fight and died in battle are just ordinary. In your eyes, corrupt officials are helpless. In your eyes, the aristocratic families are running rampant.

, when that time comes, you will become the person you hate most now. I, Tao Shaozhang, beg you, don’t change, don’t be changed by the world, even if you are like me, being discussed privately by others, and being secretly despised by others.

, being rejected by people who know each other well, don’t want to be changed.”

Chu Qing's expression was moved, and he suddenly recalled that when he first went to Tao Mansion, the unfilial son Tao Shaozhang contradicted his father Tao Yao, like a stubborn cow, he would fight with Li Mu to the end, even if there was a danger of death, he would fight to the end.

Check Xiao County's accounts.

Tao Shaozhang...Tao Shaozhang, Tao Shaozhang who refuses to change, Tao Shaozhang who refuses to be changed by the world!

Chu Qing stood up and saluted Tao Shaozhang solemnly.

"Chu Qing, remember this and follow it!"

"Okay." Tao Shaozhang showed a warm smile, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the city wall in the distance.

Both Changxian and Nangongping looked thoughtful.

Many people, no, everyone, thought that Tao Shaozhang was mentally ill.

In fact, this guy's brain is indeed sick.

But what is the cause of the illness? Not to mention all kinds of deceptive deeds, Tao Shaozhang is just because he is unwilling to change. If there is a thorn in his flesh, he must pull it out, even if it is bloody and bloody, because he refuses to change.

He knows that his ability is not enough to change the world, but the bottom line, the final dignity, is not to be changed by the world!

What's even more rare is that Tao Shaozhang knows that changes start from small things and change unconsciously. From small things to small things, they are quietly and infinitely changed. That's why he can't tolerate sand in his eyes.

He would never muddle along and turn a blind eye to any small matter, no matter how small it was.

Chu Qing looked at the friends around him and waved his arms: "We refuse to change!"

Everyone also raised their arms and waved vigorously.

"We refuse to change!"

The soldiers passing by all looked at him in surprise. Chu Qing laughed loudly, and the friends around him also laughed.

Refusing to change means not forgetting your original intention.

Looking at the horizon again, Chu Qing murmured: "Every time, I worry. Worry is my motivation."

Fu San showed a look of wisdom that he had not shown for a long time and nodded secretly.

At this moment, Fu San has assigned himself a new lesson, which is about "human heart" and "human nature". They are the same people, and the same person's different behaviors are as different as heaven and earth. The third brother feels that

You should study this new field carefully.

Just as the third brother was about to start researching, a beautiful figure rushed out from around the corner.

"Third brother, third brother."

Ma Ying ran over shouting like a crazy girl. When she arrived, she looked around.

"Then Hu Meizi isn't here?" Ma Ying smiled proudly: "I'm sorry she doesn't dare to come to this wall."

Fu San sighed.

Hey, women are the biggest obstacle to my academic studies. They are really an eyesore.

"Third brother, do you miss me?"

Fu San nodded.

"It's true." Ma Ying was overjoyed: "Do you really miss me?"

"I want you to stay away from me."

"Third brother is so funny."

Fu San turned around and looked outside the pass, too lazy to speak.

Let's talk about it beforehand, I don't want to show off to Ma Ying. After all, she is a handsome girl, so she can live well on the surface.

But now, Fu San has no patience at all.

The third brother only showed tenderness to women twice.

First time, first meeting.

The second time, let women understand what self-knowledge means.

More than twice, the third brother didn't look good at all.

Chu Qing looked at Ma Ying who was laughing and joking, frowned and asked, "Aren't you worried about Ma Gongying leaving the camp to attack the Liang bandits at night?"

"I'm so worried. I wish I could sneak into the Ma Gong camp and kill the Liang bandits together."

Fu San looked disdainful: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Not afraid."

"Then you go and assassinate Liangrong Khan."

Ma Ying said with a smile: "Isn't that going to death?"

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"If Third Brother can know the location of Liangrong Khan, I will go. Anyone who doesn't will be a puppy."

Chu Qing was dubious: "Are you really not afraid of death?"

"Afraid." Ma Ying tilted her head, and when she looked at Chu Qing, she patted the sword on her waist: "Does Supervisor Chu know why he comes in and out of the border all the year round?"

"Why?"

"Waiting for the opportunity." Ma Ying stuck out his tongue: "I am very skilled in martial arts. When the opportunity comes one day, I will definitely kill Liang Rong Khan, even if he dies in battle, it will not be a loss. In that case, the people at the border will never have any chance.

Just like me when I was young, I woke up from nightmares every day for several years."

Xiao Yi laughed loudly: "If I could kill that big Khan, I would die ten times."

Tian Hailong shouted: "Then I will die a hundred times. As long as I can kill him, I will die a hundred times."

Chu Qing believed everything these three people said, including Ma Ying, because these were the children of the Border Gate.

Children at the border are willing to sacrifice their lives, once, ten times, a hundred times. Even if they are doomed, they will not hesitate. As long as they can keep one side safe, they will not hesitate to sacrifice themselves and are not afraid of death.
