Liang Song untied the cloth strips that bound Xingzhi, put the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, and said, "Okay, you can go if you want."

Xingzhi looked up at him, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and said, "I'm not leaving."

This sentence was beyond Liang Song's expectation. Yesterday Chen Ke said to him like this: "He is determined not to stay...don't be too excited...a twisted melon is not sweet...if he easily Staying here is either a fraud or Jiang Buqing's reason for letting him come is not so simple... So, I think he will definitely leave, after all, Jiang Buqing will not let him get in touch with any secret things."

Liang Song still remembered Chen Ke's stern look at that time, and that tone guaranteed that he would leave, absolutely.

Liang Song opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he was speechless in the end. He just handed Xing Zhi a pair of chopsticks and said, "Well, eat." He didn't show any other emotions.

Xingzhi looked at the way the person in front of him was eating, and wrote every mouthful, full of seriousness, just like he used to, as if he had never changed.

Thinking about it, how can there be such a person, whether he is infinitely tolerant or giving and asking, looks the most harmless, but you don't know what he is thinking.

No wonder he thought too much. After all, they all know what a jade order symbolizes in the National Defense Army. No one would simply think that you tied someone up for one night, and Shi Shiran released him the next day. , I don't have any plans, if I tell it, maybe even a three-year-old child won't believe it.

So Xingzhi picked a chopstick dish and put it in his mouth to prepare for something to eat before making plans. As a result, he sighed in his heart after eating it with a chopstick, thinking that he should finish eating well before thinking about other things.

Chen Ke looked at Lin Zheng who was devouring the food in front of him, the corners of his eyes twitched, and finally couldn't help but said: "Didn't you go out with Li Lan... What did you go through this day?"

Lin Zheng swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "No, it's very good."

Chen Ke felt that he really didn't see it, and said: "Then what are you doing now? Was I too...hungry for you?"

Lin Zheng shook his head, and said vaguely: "No, it's not your problem. Oh, how should I put it, you know, but sometimes you have to pay attention to your food intake!"

Chen Ke put a bowl of soup on hand, and said, "Then you can come back and disgust us now?! Who gave you the right?!"

Lin Zheng said indifferently: "We are all brothers, don't worry about such trivial matters!"

Chen Ke felt that he really had nothing to say, so he just said: "You eat, you eat."

When Lin Zhengfeng finished his meal like a cloud, Zhao Jun had just finished a cup of soup.

Lin Zheng wiped his mouth, and said to Chen Ke who was eating slowly: "Okay, okay, don't eat, let me tell you, there is something new in Sichuan!"

Hearing this, Chen Ke put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked up at him, and said, "Say it."

Lin Zhengdao: "Didn't you let us station in the village twenty miles outside the city? Then, when I went out yesterday, I saw people from Jiang Buqing's house sneaking over there. I felt a little suspicious, so I followed with Ms. Li, and I saw them walking outside the village, recording something and muttering something. I think something is wrong, but I don’t have time to send you a message , so last night I used a little trick to get what they had in their hands."

Chen Ke hummed lightly and asked him, "Where's that person?"

Lin Zhengdao: "I gave them some medicine, and called Gu Tan to control them with Gu. There shouldn't be any major problems now, but you can take a look at the things recorded on it."

Chen Ke took the things Lin Zheng handed over, and got up to look at other places. Zhao Jun wanted to follow him, but Chen Ke pushed him back on the chair and said, "You eat first, don't learn not to eat breakfast, Come back after you have eaten."

Zhao Jun had no choice but to nod his head and concentrate on eating.

Chen Ke held those things that were slightly awkward, spread them out, and smiled when he saw the words on them: "Shanghan people?"

Lin Zheng nodded, and said, "The last time we went to Shanghan was... when the old general was around." Speaking of which, Lin Zheng also took a special look at Chen Ke's expression, and found that there was no special change before continuing: " Now, I didn't expect this to happen."

Chen Ke exhaled and said, "Have we finished gathering yet?"

Lin Zheng shook his head and said, "I asked Gu Tan last night, and Gu Tan said that there are still a small number of people who haven't come yet, but most of them have. By the way, he also said that Yu Jiang has returned to Jiangnan. It is said that something happened to Fanhuating, she has to go back to deal with it personally, and try to come back within seven days."

Chen Ke pondered and said: "It's okay... You go and send a message to Yu Jianglin, and ask her to bring the Mongolian sweat medicine from them when she comes back." He thought for a while, and added: "Bring more."

Lin Zheng replied: "Okay, what about Shanghan?"

Chen Ke lightly tapped the fabric with his right index finger, and said, "Give it to Boxin, let him pay attention to the surrounding area of ​​the village recently, and ask them to re-examine the people in the village... As for what to do now? Shanghan, I have no idea for the time being, after all, I don’t know their purpose, when the time comes, it will be bad if someone accidentally calls the wrong person, you can take this to Boxin first, he will know the arrangement when the time comes.”

Lin Zheng took back the cloth with recorded things, answered and turned to leave, walking in a hurry.

When Zhao Jun came, he bumped into Lin Zheng and left. He looked at Lin Zheng's back and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Ke walked over and said, "It's okay, I just don't know whether the people who came to Shanghan this time were kind or not."

Zhao Jundao: "So what if you are good, and what if you are not good?"

Chen Ke: "For goodness, we can fight it out relatively quickly. For badness, we don't know when we will fight this battle."

Zhao Jun looked up at him and said, "Why does it sound a bit bad?"

Chen Ke looked at the distance and sighed, and said: "Fight against Shang, we don't actually have a great chance of winning. The outside world doesn't know that there is a very big hidden danger in protecting the country. They are not good at fighting on horseback. If we compete with Shang If Khan is facing the top, then we will lose in all likelihood. Back then, tens of thousands of people sacrificed their lives to subdue Shang Khan. It may not be possible now. Besides, the combat power of the younger generation of Shang Khan is now completely exhausted. We have grown up, and the generals of the older generation haven’t aged yet, so no matter how we calculate, our odds of winning are very small.”

Zhao Jun smiled: "What's the matter? Be confident in yourself, after all, you are our general."

Chen Ke smiled, raised his hand and rubbed it on his head, but there was an indelible shadow in his eyes.

Zhao Jun looked at him, but there was a long sigh in his heart.

When Hu Chen received what Lin Zheng handed over, he opened it and his face changed three points.

Standing next to him, Gu Tan saw Hu Chen's face suddenly changed, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Hu Chen shook his head, did not answer his question, and said directly: "Send me an order to increase the training of riding skills at the level of usual practice recently, and let them be familiar with large field combat."

The guard who stood on the side and listened to the order at any time responded immediately, turned around and hurried to deliver the order.

So after he finished giving his orders, just as he was about to say something, Hu Chen said to Lin Zheng: "Lin Zheng, go back and tell Shen Ke that he must pay attention to sweating recently. It is best to be on guard against the northern border. This time... the visitor is not good."

Lin Zheng hummed, and went out directly. Just as he was leaving the door, he bumped into the people who came to inquire. Zhuang Sheng ran straight into Lin Zheng. Seeing Lin Zheng's expression, he didn't make fun of him like he used to. Consciously get out of the way.

Luo Qize came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hu Chen raised his head and said, "Just wait, we have something to bear."

So talk: "Huh?"

Hu Chen sighed and asked them: "Do you know about the incident that General Zhang led troops to suppress Shanghan ten years ago?"

Liu Benmo nodded: "I know, the fight was so miserable that time. At that time, there was a lot of turmoil in the rivers and lakes, and the grass and trees were all soldiers."

Hu Chen looked at his hands, as if he was recalling something, he said: "I went with General Zhang..."

He said, "How to describe it, that war."

There are millions of dead bodies, and blood flows like rivers.

Zhang Yuan had never faced Shang Khan before, and he had no experience in fighting on the grassland. Relying on his previous combat experience, he took the lead and led a team of soldiers and horses into battle. As a result, he was defeated by Shang Khan in the first battle that time. There were 3000 people, and there were less than [-] people when they came back.

Later, every time I went to war, the army was in a state of panic, and everyone was in danger. Every time, they would leave their suicide notes before going to the battlefield. Some people's letters arrived, while others did not.

Later, the National Defense Army suffered heavy losses and retreated steadily. Zhang Yuan had no choice but to summon the King Xunnan to lead his troops to the north, and then summoned soldiers from all over the world, and even recruited famous people in the rivers and lakes. It was dangerously suppressed.

At those times, Zhang Yuan led the army into battle, and was often covered in blood and wounds. The most serious one was that three ribs were broken, and he almost failed to save him.

Luo Qize suddenly said: "I know, it was my grandfather who went there at that time. I remember that at that time, the National Defense Army sent a team of troops and rushed to my house. After hearing this, my grandfather followed them away non-stop, and did not come back until two months later. .”

Hu Chen nodded: "At that time, General Zhang had to lead his own troops into battle. Grandpa Luo couldn't stop him, so he had to follow General Zhang to the battlefield... Fortunately, Grandpa Luo knew how to do some work, and the general sent someone to protect him, otherwise ..."

Luo Qize fell silent and did not speak again.

Zhang Zhoutong asked: "Since this is the case, why don't we strengthen the training in this area?"

Hu Chen smiled bitterly: "Most of the people who participated in the war back then withdrew. Later, the general said that he wanted to train cavalry, but because of some...reasons, he stopped."

As for this reason, everyone has some ideas in their hearts.

There was a long silence in the room, as if they were all thinking about something about the former emperor and empress back then, and at the same time they couldn't do anything about it.

After all, the past is like smoke, and besides, the person involved has already gone, so it's hard to mention it again.

After Chen Ke heard Lin Zhengchuan's return, he was silent for a long time, and then said directly: "Liang Song, go back to Taiying Mountain and send a letter to Senior Tian Xin for me. Lin Zheng, go tell Ben Mo and the others , Let them go to the rivers and lakes for activities, use their respective relationships to secretly gather people for me, move faster, and make the movement quieter."

Lin Zheng and Liang Song knelt down on one knee and said in unison, "Yes!"

Zhao Jun looked at the sun that was gradually covered by dark clouds in the sky, and said, "I just left while we were not paying attention."

The corner of Chen Ke's mouth twitched: "I'm afraid that he won't leave. By the way, Zhao Jun, you remember, if that Mo Xuan comes to you again, if possible, set the scene and see why he came, or if he approaches you What exactly do you want to do?"

Zhao Jun nodded and said, "I know."

Chen Ke looked at the sky, sighed, and said in an inaudible way: "You are watching..."

Zhao Jun looked at a small white flower. The white and tender petals had just unfolded. When a huge raindrop fell down, the petals overlapped with other petals in an instant, blending together, powerless to resist.

Not a breath of wind.

Silent, as if something was staring at it.
