Everyone in the yard saw Zhou Wen helping the commander out. The commander looked at the big man named Du and several bodyguards who came up and said, "You don't have to follow us. We will just walk around nearby." After that, Zhou Wen was left alone. With support, he walked step by step towards the door of the courtyard.
It was already afternoon, and the western sunlight filtered through the golden leaves of late autumn, and stars scattered on the quiet bluestone path. In the afterglow, the backs of the old and the young looked so peaceful and peaceful, looking like an old man. Modesty and respect, a happy and harmonious scene.
The big man surnamed Du was dumbfounded. Who was scolding the white-eyed wolf just now? Who just screamed and cursed that the little wolf cub should be skinned and cramped? Has the Commander-in-Chief been bewitched by this unscrupulous guy who is used to making black shots? Are you going to forget all your grudges with a smile?
…
At this time, the handsome man who was taking a walk felt that his body was particularly light and healthy, and most of the depression in the past had disappeared. He felt that every breath of air he breathed was so fresh and full, and he was in a good mood.
At that moment, he looked at Zhou Wen with a half-smile and said, "Although this is our first meeting, I'm never wrong about people. You look like a gentle guy on the outside, but in your heart you're a smiling tiger, not a good person. Even Xiao Cui Women with both talent and beauty like the nurse, and people with superb medical skills like Dr. Feng, behave well in front of you, and it can be seen that they respect you from the bottom of their hearts. Heroes like Zhao Changshu, who are arrogant and arrogant, treat you well. You are also regarded as a brother and a close friend. In front of me, you are very respectful and attentive. When faced with my censure, you have a bit of a cool breeze and a resigned attitude. What does this mean? "
The commander squinted at Zhou Wen again.
Zhou Wen quickly answered with a smile: "It shows that this kid still has some abilities as a three-legged cat."
"What's the ability of a three-legged cat? If you really only have the ability of a three-legged cat, then what kind of ability does I have who suffered a big loss at your hands?"
The commander was not happy.
"How can a little guy like you dare to compare with a hero like you, Marshal? He only dares to take advantage of you while your tiger is taking a nap." Zhou Wen quickly flattered.
The handsome man didn't answer, and squinted his eyes to face the sunlight that was sparsely scattered through the leaves.
He said: "It shows that you, a boy, are very capable, deep in the city, affectionate, know how to advance and retreat, and know the world. To be honest, not many people of my grade can cultivate to your level. In your heart, you must be If you have a big plan, you can get rich and powerful at your fingertips. I don’t believe that at such a young age, you are thinking about success and retirement, and you are indifferent to fame and fortune. As the saying goes: If you don’t follow the conventional path, something will happen. You kid I will give you an honest explanation today."
Zhou Wen actually didn't want to hide anything from the commander. Since he came today, he wanted to give him an explanation. What's more, Zhou Wen still feels a little guilty for this man deep in his heart. After all, his series of actions in the Central Plains War were all aimed at attacking the Northwest Army, and he ruined many good things for his commander. Regardless of his position and current affairs background, he just Just discussing the gains and losses of interests, I really feel like bullying an honest person. Because I knew the direction of history, I followed the losing side and stepped on it several times. It is inevitable that I will feel a little embarrassed.
Therefore, Zhou Wen accepted the punishment in front of the commander and behaved like a primary school student who had done something wrong facing his teacher. Another reason is the heroic complex in Zhou Wen's heart. Heroes are always lonely, and heroes are always sad. Therefore, there have been many successes and defeats in history. Most of the successful ones were heroes, and most of the failed ones became heroes.
In ancient times, there was the King of Chu who "was a hero in life, but also a hero in death". In recent times, there is Tan Sitong, who said, "I will smile to the sky with my horizontal sword, but I will leave my liver and gallbladder behind."
And the Marshal has become a hero in Zhou Wen's mind, a hero worthy of respect, sigh, and sorrow.
So Zhou Wen also followed the commander's gaze, looked at the sunset in the distance, and slowly said: "Commander, do you know how I went to Henan to serve as a soldier? That must be thanks to your old subordinate Shi Yousan, who The police arrested me and kidnapped me all the way from Taiyuan to Henan. I had just turned sixteen at that time..."
So, Zhou Wen began to tell the Marshal his past in a eloquent manner, except for soul penetration. It was more detailed and profound than the last time he told Marshal Yan.
When it comes to sadness - tears flow down your face; when it comes to anger - you can't help yourself.
Finally, with tears in his eyes, Zhou Wen said sadly: "Commander, you don't know, these dreams have been tormenting me day and night, reminding me that I have been like a whip in the dark these past few years. Whipping me, not letting me stop, forcing me to move forward hard, not daring to slack off. So now, although I have wealth that ordinary people can't even imagine, I have a group of elite brothers who can run amok, and I will have others for the rest of my life. I can't find a high-ranking official and background, but I don't dare to enjoy it.
Even... I haven't even picked up a girl. I have been practicing this boy's skill for almost nineteen years. Do you think it's easy for me? "
The commander-in-chief listened with rapt attention at first. He didn't completely disbelieve in some weird things. After all, he was a person of this era. But he believed what Zhou Wen said. Why? Have you ever seen someone behave so evilly at such a young age? You started learning and practicing cultivation when you were still in your mother's womb. How can you have so much and extensive knowledge? Someone who knows how to fight, martial arts, medicine, make money, understands military affairs, sophistication, advance and retreat, and general trends, and he even knows how to make guns. Find someone like this to come out and take a look.
Later, under the influence of Zhou Wen's eloquent voice, the Marshal began to feel heavy. Who knew that this guy started complaining and tired as he talked, and finally got involved in picking up girls. Although the new word "picking up girls" came up, Marshal I’ve never heard of it, but I understand the meaning. After nineteen years of practicing Tongzi Kung Fu, it’s so hard? Shaolin monks have been practicing for decades and have never heard anyone complain about hardship.
Of course he knew that this was because Zhou Wen was afraid that it would be bad for his health if he felt heavy again just after the operation, so he deliberately lightened the topic. But in my heart, I still hated this little wolf who was accustomed to playing dirty tricks. Without saying a word, he raised his leg and kicked Zhou Wen in the butt, shouting angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? The country is in danger, you little wolf." Are you still thinking about this? I'll kick you to death, oh..." It turned out to be a wound.
Zhou Wen quickly supported the commander, but he argued: "Commander, you are being unhuman, aren't you? People have seven emotions and six desires, right? If the country is in danger, in order to serve the country, everyone should learn to be a monk, right?"
The commander laughed angrily at the kid's gag, pointed at him and scolded him with a smile: "You little bastard, you still dare to say something against me, don't move, let me kick you a few more times to enjoy."
The two laughed and cursed for a while. Zhou Wen was afraid of damaging the commander's wounds, so he let the commander kick him a few times and then helped him sit on a stone bench by the road to rest.
Seeing Zhou Wen going to pat the dusty footprints on his butt, the commander said with a straight face: "No patting, I feel comfortable just looking at it. Others just smile away their grudges, but I just kick them away."
Zhou Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking: "It's not just one kick, but a dozen kicks, okay?"
The commander had enough of scolding and kicking. Now he was in a good mood. He pointed to the other side of the stone bench and said, "Come and sit down."
Zhou Wen smiled and said, "I don't dare, I'm afraid you'll hit me again."
"I'll let you sit down and don't be too verbose."
