Chapter 100: Peony's Past
After the celebration banquet, Jiang Lie returned to his room, thinking a lot, lying on the bed tossing and turning, not knowing how long it would take before he gradually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, after the usual meal, Jiang Lie came to the camp to have breakfast. As usual, soldiers on duty came to send and receive letters. Unintentionally, Jiang Lie found that the soldier on duty today was the same as yesterday, and he felt strange.
He stopped him and asked, "Why was it you yesterday and you again today? Isn't this job taking turns?"
The soldier said with tears in his eyes: "General Jiang, I was not the one to come today. I was originally scheduled to come today... He... He... My good brother... He... was killed in action yesterday... I will take my place today..."
He comes..."
Although yesterday's battle was a complete victory, it is inevitable that some people will die. Jiang Lie patted the soldier's shoulder and sighed: "He died for the country, and his family members will receive pensions from the court. Please forgive me.
."
After the soldier left, Jiang Lie gnawed on the steamed buns again and sighed with emotion: "One general's achievements can lead to thousands of deaths... A victory in a war requires the blood and lives of many people."
After breakfast, Jiang Lie assembled his team for daily training. During the training, he was absent-minded and focused on thinking about the meaning of the battle. All of this happened to be seen by Su Yiyun who was patrolling.
"Come here." Su Yiyun patted Jiang Lie's back gently, making Jiang Lie suddenly wake up from a dream.
Jiang Lie followed Su Yiyun to the side and performed a military salute: "The last general will see General Su."
Su Yiyun returned the salute: "Why do you look in a daze, as if you are absent-minded? Tell me, what's going on?"
Jiang Lie sighed: "General Su, I hate war."
Su Yiyun nodded: "I hate it too. Everyone hates it, and our enemies hate it too. They are just following orders. They definitely don't want to fight. But when foreign enemies invade, we have to fight."
Jiang Lie sighed again: "I know it all, I understand it all. But when I think about how many lives must be sacrificed to win the war, I... feel depressed."
Su Yiyun put his hand on Jiang Lie's shoulder: "The reason why our soldiers can fight bloody battles regardless of life and death is because we can win more innocent people with our sacrifices.
People will live and work in peace and contentment. Someone will always sacrifice, but their sacrifice will not be in vain."
Jiang Lie was stunned for a long time, then Su Yiyun patted him on the shoulder: "I know you are not afraid of death, you just don't want to see your comrades die one after another, but that's how fighting is, no matter how smooth or successful we fight,
Someone will always sacrifice, it is inevitable, you must slowly learn to accept this fact. When fighting, being soft-hearted is very fatal. Don't be obsessed with it anymore, and supervise your soldiers."
"Follow your orders!" Jiang Lie said and returned to his original position. "Someone may die at any time" was still lingering in his mind.
After training, Jiang Lie met Mudanzi on the way back to his room and said hello.
"Is General Jiang finished?" Mudanzi asked.
Jiang Lie smiled and said: "I just finished training the team and was about to go back to the house to rest for a while."
Mudanzi smiled and said: "General Jiang, would you like to come and make tea?"
"Ah?" Jiang Lie was at a loss for a moment, "Making tea? Where can I make it?"
Mudanzi responded: "You can go to my room to take a dip, where else can you take a dip?"
"Ah?" Jiang Lie was surprised, "Is this...appropriate?"
Mudanzi chuckled: "There's nothing inappropriate, come on!"
After half pushing and half giving in, Jiang Lie followed Mudanzi into her house.
He didn't know it until he entered, but he was shocked when he entered. Jiang Lie originally thought that Mudanzi's room would be Guifu Lanxin's boudoir, but he never thought that the room was filled with tiger and leopard furs, swords, guns and halberds, with no trace of rouge or paint.
Jiang Lie then thought about it, after all, Mudanzi is the king of the mountain, not a young lady from a good family.
There is a bronze mirror in this room, but there is no dressing table. It can be seen that Mudanzi does not dress up on weekdays. So Jiang Lie secretly glanced at Mudanzi. There was really no trace of makeup on her face, but she was still fair with such pure makeup.
And exquisite.
"Have a seat, General Jiang." Mudanzi said and asked Lu Yezi and Qing Yezi to arrange the tea sets.
After Jiang Lie sat down, he asked curiously: "Why do you want to ask me to make tea so suddenly?"
Mudanzi handed the first cup of tea to Jiang Lie: "Making tea is just a way of making tea, mainly because I want to chat with you."
Jiang Lie took his first sip of tea and stuck out his tongue because of the burning: "What are you talking about?"
Peonyzi winked at Green Leaf and Green Leaf: "You all can go out."
"yes."
After Mudanzi saw the door closed, she pursed her lips and said, "General Jiang probably hasn't forgotten what happened last night."
Jiang Lie nodded: "Of course. How could I forget what happened last night this morning? I'm not that old yet."
Mudanzi took a sip of tea and said, "You also know the origin of Youling Sect, the origin of Hongxing Village, and many past events of my second brother. But when I think of my past, I feel very uncomfortable.
Find someone to talk to, otherwise it will be really unpleasant."
Jiang Lie suddenly realized: "So, you thought of talking to me?"
"That's right." Mudanzi frowned slightly, "Do you know why I became a bandit?"
Jiang Lie shook his head: "I really don't know this."
So, Mudanzi began to talk about her past.
Mudanzi is twenty years old and went to Mount Huo thirteen years ago.
Mudanzi has been without a father or mother since she was a child. She was taken in by the director of a martial arts school in Shibei. She has been practicing martial arts with the director since she was a child. The director is called master, but in fact he is no different from his adoptive father. Unknowingly,
During this period, Mudanzi spent seven years of peace in the martial arts hall.
However, one day, the situation suddenly changed, and a group of officers and soldiers came to search the martial arts hall, and unexpectedly found a suit of armor in the hall. Hiding the armor privately was regarded as treason in the Four Kingdoms of Bone Corrosion, and it was a capital crime without mercy. According to Mu
According to Danzi, her master did not hide the armor secretly, and the armor must have been framed and hidden by a traitor. However, the local government at that time wanted to seal up the martial arts gym and execute the entire family of the gym director regardless of whether they were innocent or not.
Mudanzi was not related by blood to the curator, so she was able to survive. However, she was only seven years old and had no support. It was difficult to make a living, so the curator instructed her to seek refuge with a friend. At that time, Mudanzi almost never left the martial arts gym.
So I couldn't recognize the road, and I didn't dare to ask for directions. The further I walked, the farther north I went, and I unknowingly left the town.
The young Mudanzi lost her way in the wilderness. She was helpless and had to squat on the ground and howl. This cry was so loud that it broke through the clouds and cracked the rocks. It was so loud that it attracted Fan Zhili who came down the mountain to rob. Fan Zhili
Seeing how pitiful Mudanzi was, Li felt pity for her, so he took her to Huoshan and treated her like a brother and sister.
As for how to be the sixth family of Hongxingzhai, it is later.
Peony poured another cup of tea and drank without hesitation: "If my master is not framed, I may still teach others in the martial arts museum now, or I may have married someone.
After giving birth, we were all forced to confuse the mountains. "
Jiang Lie was sympathetic, and his nose was sour: "I didn't expect your life to be so miserable."
Peony smiled bitterly: "Isn't that? So we have avenge the emperor's older. Although the emperor may not know what happened to our martial arts, the parents of all places need to be examined by the emperor. This kind of dog official
You can also be a local parent, the emperor must have a responsibility. "
