Rise in the glory of the king system

Chapter 618
It never occurred to her that Baili Shouyue was only 20 years old, he still had a long life, and there was no rush to teach skills.

"He keeps the contract and has a military position. He is General Yun Yi and the sniper captain. He usually leads troops for training and is also responsible for the army's food. It is really hard. When he goes into the desert, the food standard in the army will drop for ten and a half months. Soldiers are not energetic." Hua Mulan said in a persuasive manner, "If you are interested, you might as well learn from him for two days. If you succeed in learning, it will also help him relieve the pressure."

"How about you, do you want to try it?"

Gongsunli hesitated for a long time: "Then... let's try..."

"Nice! Wash and go to bed!" Hua Mulan was very happy, and urged Gongsunli to go to the water room to wash up.

Although a decision has been made, Gongsunli still has many doubts hovering in his heart.It wasn't until she turned off the lights and lay on the bed that she couldn't help asking: "Captain, can I ask... about General Baili's past?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Could it be an undercover agent sent by the enemy?

"It's nothing. I just feel that General Baili should be a person with many stories. He appeared in the depths of the desert alone, as if a god came down to earth, and was specially sent to save me... Moreover, there always seems to be a kind of loneliness in him." a feeling of."

"Well, wolves are solitary animals. He belongs to the wolf family, so it's normal to be lonely." Hua Mulan's voice sounded a little sleepy.

"It's different. He has the kind of loneliness that has been warmed and then lost. In his eyes, there is sadness that has been precipitated over the years."

"It's a kind of sadness that I can't understand, and I can't comfort him."

What Gongsunli didn't say was that his sadness was similar to mine.

"Well... you can ask him... I'm so sleepy..."

Hua Mulan soon fell asleep, and her breathing gradually became steady and even.

Gongsunli didn't feel sleepy at all.The conditions in the desert are more difficult than in the military camp, but before going to bed, you can see the brilliant galaxy that is not covered by the morning light.She stared at the top of the tent, opened her eyes wide in the darkness, but still couldn't see anything.

Baili's promise-keeping eyes appeared in front of her eyes, and a line of poem suddenly came to her mind.

"I could have endured the darkness if I hadn't seen the sun. Although the sun has given me warmth, it might have become a renewed desolation." Note ①

Jia Luo pushed the door in with a pile of calligraphy and painting scrolls in his arms. With a breeze blowing over the desk, he opened a copy of "Selected Poems of Li Taibai" on the table.

Shangguan Wan'er who was writing was not moved at all.Her hand holding the pen is very steady, and the whole body's strength is poured into the tip of the pen, and the iron draws the silver hook, heartily.In the blink of an eye, a word was completed, and there was a faint taste of vicissitudes between the press and the frustration.

The door was closed and the wind stopped again.Jialuo put down his things and came over to take a look. What Shangguan Wan'er wrote was a poem.

[There will be times when the wind blows, hang the clouds and sail straight to the sea]

This is Li Bai's poem.Jia Luo pointed at the things he had just put down and said with a smile: "You still said that I am a fan of Li Bai, why did you hide in the room and secretly write other people's poems?"

Shangguan Wan'er objected: "I wrote it openly, and I planned to hang it up after drying. It's not like you, who just buy a collection of poems, read them in bed before going to bed, and put them next to the pillow after finishing."

"You don't understand." Jialuo looked helpless: "Your job is to appreciate the world's poetry, so it's not surprising. As a city lord, I have to deal with so many trivial matters all day long. I have to quell the war and appease the people. I can only read poetry for a short while before going to bed."

"Then Li Bai's is very suitable...Recently, Li Bai's poetry anthology is very popular in Chang'an, maybe this is also some kind of omen."

"What omen?"

"A few days ago, I received a letter from Mr. Di, the magistrate, saying that Li Bai, the sword fairy, traveled all over the world and returned to his hometown of Yunzhongmo in early summer, only to find..."

"Dead wood and scorched earth, devastated, isn't it." Jia Luo's voice was low.Thousand Cave City is also in the desert in the clouds. She witnessed the war three years ago, but Li Bai, who was still in Chang'an at that time, had never even heard of it.

"Sword Fairy Li Bai, one person and one sword moved Chang'an. I was lucky enough to see it back then." Shangguan Wan'er recalled that at that time, she was still young, young and ignorant, and the elegant movement of the man and sword had touched her. A place in my heart I've never touched.

"I don't know what will happen this time when he reenters Chang'an full of anger..."

Waking up is very early in the army.Just after dawn, Hua Mulan was woken up by the precise biological clock.She rolled over to take a look and saw that the other half of the double bed was empty.

Looking again, Gongsunli was curled up on the ground, sleeping soundly.

"No way..." Hua Mulan stretched her arms and legs, recalling her dream.It seemed that she was beating someone in the dream... She hesitated for a moment, and simply carried Gongsunli back to the bed, and covered her with the quilt again.

Seeing Gongsunli's slightly frowned brows gradually relax, Hua Mulan felt that the guilt in her heart was relieved.She didn't sleep honestly and like kicking people, well, she hoped that Gongsunli would know about it later.

Before it was time to get up, Hua Mulan finished packing and started her daily inspections as usual.Since the battle three years ago, she was deprived of her status as the Great Wall Guard, and she could only set foot on the Great Wall before dawn.

She somewhat understood what it was like for the former lord of Zhuliu City to lose his territory and live in the dark every day.Fortunately, the soldiers on the Great Wall still trusted her, unlike that person who could only wander in the desert, looking at his city from a distance.

Another sunrise.

Hua Mulan looked at the desert, and the brighter and brighter dawn spread behind her, but there was only a shadow in front of her.A figure in the distance gradually approached, and she gradually saw clearly that it was Baili Shou promise, who was running in the morning, and was carrying a heavy backpack.

Shou Yue ran to stop in front of her and gave a military salute: "Hi Captain."

Hua Mulan returned the salute briefly: "Woke up so early?"

"The captain too." Shou Yue smiled helplessly, "I've been away for more than half a month, and I'm afraid that their progress will fall behind, so I plan to lead a period of training."

"Hard."

This slightly polite sentence means that you can go after the chat.Hua Mulan saw that Baili kept the contract and did not unload the burden, so she knew that he would still be busy in a while.

Baili kept his promise and saluted again, then ran away quickly.

The morning light gradually lit up the Great Wall.The wake-up call sounded, and the soldiers came out to wash up one after another.Gongsunli also woke up, went out to look around, not knowing where she should go, she was still a little afraid of the military camp instinctively.

Looking around for a long time, she saw a person standing on the city wall in the distance.The figure was slightly thin, and it seemed to be the flower captain who kicked her out of bed unceremoniously and without self-knowledge in the dream last night.Gongsunli shook, and ran to wash himself.When I came back and looked again, the people on the city wall had disappeared.

No one thought that Li Bai, the sword fairy, would come uninvited to the banquet celebrating another year's new academic achievement.

No one could stop him from the layers of guards at Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, and no one even found him in advance.He seemed to be riding on white clouds and riding the wind. With a sweep of his sword, he easily landed behind the performing dancers, as if the palace was his back garden.

The newly recruited scholars were whispering, and the security officer Di Renjie was shocked, and urgently dispatched troops to escort him.But Wu Zetian had the spirit of an emperor after all, and he was calm, so he asked people to set up a seat for him.

Li Bai didn't sit down either, and walked around like a walk with his sword on his back. Seeing a flagpole erected on the stone steps with a picture hanging on it, he read it softly.

[I have a jug of wine, which is enough to comfort the wind and dust. 】

The ten ordinary words were tossed between his lips and teeth, and when he blurted out, he had a style of his own. This is Li Bai, the poet fairy.Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing quietly by the side, looked at this person silently. She never thought that this person who had glimpsed a few years ago, carrying all her girlish feelings, would appear in front of her again.

The radiant man suddenly turned his head to look at her, and smiled innocently: "Miss Shangguan, what is this?"

Shangguan Wan'er was sure that her heart missed a beat, he knew me, he knew me, he remembered me.

Thoughts turn back and forth, but only for a moment.In front of the audience, Shangguan Wan'er could only politely reply: "Xiaguan came across this poem a few days ago and continued it into a quatrain, but felt that the poetic meaning is not appropriate. Today is the time when the Holy Empress is hosting a banquet for scholars from the new department. I dare you to try it for me. "

"Oh?" Li Bai turned around and looked at the Xinke scholars below: "Do you have any good works?"

The Jinshi below are all teenagers, no one knows Li Bai, the poet fairy, and no one dares to fight against him, and there is no sound at once.

The scene was once very embarrassing.Di Renjie stood up suddenly and said: "Li Taibai, this is the imperial palace, not the Mingyue Tianshan where you sing poems and dance swords. Please be careful."

Li Bai immediately became obedient like a child: "I have a sense of propriety, I am quite proper. Didn't this look at the great joy today, and specially brought a fine wine from the Western Regions, and wanted to dedicate it to the empress and all Jinshi to taste it together?"

He took out the wine gourd and smiled slyly: "It's a pity that there are only so many."

Wu Zetian didn't mind either, and signaled the palace servants to fetch it.Li Bai looked at the poem again, and said like a chatterbox: "Holy Queen, I have already brought you wine, and you don't want to reward me with something? Otherwise, if I continue this poem better than everyone here, it will be considered solved." If you have a problem, how about you solve my problem too?"

It seems to be a discussion, but everyone understands it.With Li Bai entering the palace without anyone noticing, in the name of a sword fairy, and with his courage to chat and laugh in the guards of thousands of feathers, there is no room for negotiation.

His swordsmanship and lightness skills are unmatched by anyone.Even with all the guards of the imperial city, they might not be able to stop him.At this time, he was already in a predicament, and Wu Zetian should not be, and should not be.

Shangguan Wan'er, who was silent for a long time, suddenly said, "You don't need to be better than everyone here, just be better than me."

Li Bai turned his head to look, and only bumped into Shangguan Wan'er's eyes as deep as a cold pool.Wan'er was only twenty years old. She wore a narrow-sleeved official uniform, her long hair was tied up, and the hem of her clothes swayed in the wind, but she stood upright and firm, like a white lotus in troubled times.She also speaks boldly, it seems that she is deflecting arrows for the sake of the saint, and directing the spearhead from the disciples of the Son of Heaven to herself, but it actually implies a kind of arrogance that looks down on the world - all of you here are not as good as me.

"Girl, please."

Before she finished speaking, Shangguan Wan'er's toes suddenly lightened, she rose into the air, and two blank scrolls flew out in her hands, which could be hung on the top of the flagpole, hanging side by side with the last sentence of the poem.At this time the castration was over, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed the flagpole again, turned over with her strength, and landed smoothly, the whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, and her clothes fluttered like a butterfly with wings spread.

The onlookers applauded.

Shangguan Wan'er waved her hand and threw something over.Li Bai caught it in the air, and looked down, it was a fine Zihao.The pen holder made of jade is translucent and shiny, and it looks like it has been used frequently.The most amazing thing is that after such a movement, the tip of the pen is still full of ink, and there is no ink splattered around.

The two looked at each other, and each flew forward to write with a brush.All the ministers, officials and scholars below all looked up, but no one dared to speak out.

Gongsunli went to the kitchen to tidy up briefly in the morning, and then began to wander around idly.Except for the soldiers on duty, the rest were led by their respective captains for training.The military affairs are heavy, and no one has time to spend time with her as a guest.

She walked where there were too many people, and finally arrived at the school field where the soldiers were training.It seemed that it was time for a break, and everyone sat in a loose circle, watching the duel between the two in the middle.Among the two, Hua Mulan was the thinnest one, with two daggers spinning in her palm.Opposite was a silver-haired man with an expression as cold as the long sword in his hand.

The two of them exchanged moves so quickly that they couldn't catch them with their eyes, only the clang and clang of soldiers meeting each other could be heard.Gongsunli had never fought with anyone before, so he couldn't understand these tricks, he just gasped in admiration.

After dozens of rounds of ping-pong-pong, the two took a step back and held each other's fists, signaling that the point was over.Gongsunli couldn't tell who would win and who would lose, he just watched the next match with interest.

Finally, when the rest time was over and all the soldiers continued to drill, Gongsunli reluctantly walked away.

Walking along the school grounds, she finally saw Baili Shouyan in a corner.He should be leading a sniper team, with less than ten people, doing basic physical training.

Even if Gongsunli is a complete layman, he can tell that the training of the sniper team is much more cruel than that of ordinary soldiers.Maybe it's because they are all outstanding ones in a hundred, and they are responsible for the most important and most hidden missions on the battlefield. They have heavy responsibilities and cannot be missed.

There was thin sweat on Baili Shouyue's forehead, which was slightly reflected in the sun, and his whole body exuded the unique hormones of young men, which made Gongsunli dare not look directly at him for no reason.She found a place on the sidelines and sat down, drowsy while holding an umbrella.

This is followed by aiming practice.This exercise was quite strange, it was just a simple aiming with a gun, and it lasted for two hours at a stretch.Gongsunli really didn't understand what they were doing by keeping one movement for two hours, and finally fell asleep because of the sleepiness.

It's such a nice weather, so you should sleep.she thinks.

Among these people, there must be someone who fell asleep like me...

Baili Shouyue had discovered her a long time ago. He knew that Gongsunli had been watching him for two hours, and finally fell asleep after watching him. He was a little happy in his heart.He didn't wake her up until the morning training was over.

The sweat on his body was still wet from training, he hesitated for a moment, didn't reach out, but touched Gongsunli with the barrel of a gun from a distance: "Wake up, it's time to eat."

As soon as the words came out, I felt suddenly.In the past many years, he has said this sentence to Xuan Ce many times.

Gongsunli opened his eyes in a daze, saw clearly who was standing in front of him, and suddenly jumped up from the ground. "I'm sorry, General Baili! I really... No, your training is really..."

"Too boring?" Shou Yue laughed, "You can just call me Shou Yue, that's what they all call it."

Gongsunli was still a little hesitant, nodded slightly, and followed the promise to the kitchen.

Baili Shouyue explained as he walked: "For a sniper, superb marksmanship is actually the least important thing. What is more important is patience and mental concentration. Sometimes, you need to wait a day or even longer before you can shoot." Wait until the target person appears. And in the few hours he appears, there may only be a few minutes, or even a few seconds, before he will reveal his flaws."

On the road, I met a few soldiers who were talking nonsense, and they were not afraid to see Baili keeping the promise. They saluted each other, and walked away bragging wildly.

Gongsunli unconsciously took two steps closer to Baili Shouyue, and reached out to grab the corner of his clothes.

"As long as the target person appears, he must aim at it at all times. During this period, he must constantly calculate the influence of wind direction and light, so as to ensure that he will kill him with one blow during the few seconds when he shows his flaws."

"I know, it's tiring to concentrate for a long time, so you usually practice, don't you?" Gongsunli shook his head, "Then your training is too boring."

"Snipers are always boring. If you want to watch something interesting, you can watch how the captain trains soldiers." Shouyue showed a meaningful smile, "There are a lot of tricks."

When Gongsunli remembered being kicked onto the bed last night, he was instinctively afraid of Hua Mulan.She shook her head with a very pitiful look: "No, I won't go, then I might as well cook."

Shouyue's heart moved, and all the choices Gongsunli made had close contact with him.

"Come on then."

When they entered the kitchen, Gongsunli held the corner of the promise-keeping coat.
