Looking at the relaxed expression on Jiang Ze's face, it didn't look like he was pretending.
But Gu Nian still asked: "Have you really become more relaxed?"
"Well, it's easy." After Jiang Ze finished speaking, he turned to look out the window. His eyes were no longer on Gu Nian.
"That...that's really great." Gu Nian forced a smile.
This was really strange. Gu Nian had a smile on his face, but inside, he seemed a little disappointed. It was an indescribable loss.
Not long after, Luo Erhu and Li Xiuwen came. They brought a lot of fruits to Jiang Ze and asked him all kinds of questions.
Li Xiuwen also asked Jiang Ze how he escaped. Jiang Ze made up some random reasons. He didn't want to expose his super speed for the time being.
Luo Erhu was extremely grateful to Jiang Ze. He said, "I owe you my life. From now on, what is mine will be yours."
"Brother Hu, what are you talking about?" Li Xiuwen looked at Gu Nian and hinted that Luo Erhu should not talk nonsense.
Luo Erhu reacted and laughed: "In this way, except for my wife, everything else that is mine is yours, as long as you ask."
Jiang Ze smiled and said: "Don't be so exaggerated. We are comrades in arms, and we should love each other."
"Yes, love each other. Let's do this, Jiang Ze. If you don't mind, the three of us will become sworn sworn friends."
"Haha, just be happy."
A few days later, Jiang Ze's injuries were completely healed. Luo Erhu and Li Xiuwen took Jiang Ze to a peach forest.
"Why did you bring me here?"
"Don't ask, you'll find out when you get there."
Not long after, Jiang Ze was brought to the center of the peach forest. There was an ancient table with some tributes placed on it.
"I specially arranged it, how about it? Does it look like the peach garden friendship in the book?" Luo Erhu said with a proud smile.
"It's so similar, so you really want to become sworn friends?"
"Do you think I'm joking? I, Luo Erhu, say one is one, say two is two, I said I want to become sworn brothers, of course I am serious."
"But……"
Jiang Ze felt very strange. In today's society, there were very few friendships. Regardless of historical records or literature, most of the sworn brothers did not end well. Only the story of sworn friendship in Taoyuan is praised and has been passed down to this day.
To be honest, Jiang Ze does not believe in friendship, nor does he believe in blood-based alliances.
"But what? Jiang Ze, do you have any worries?"
"No, I just think that this kind of friendship is too unreal."
"What's not true?"
"You don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but you want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day? Is it true? Will they really die together?" Jiang Ze smiled.
Facing Jiang Ze's rhetorical question, Luo Erhu's face suddenly darkened. It was obvious that Jiang Ze poured cold water on his originally good mood.
Luo Erhu's smile disappeared and his expression became serious, but his stance did not change.
"Jiang Ze, please believe me. We are both adults. I am not joking. I really want to be your brother."
"It's okay to be brothers, it's okay to be comrades-in-arms, but this friendship is too formal."
"Don't underestimate these things, just like believers have creeds. As long as you believe in these things, they are true, and they will give us very powerful spiritual power."
"But, it feels really weird..." Jiang Ze was still a little reluctant.
The atmosphere at the scene became more and more awkward, and Luo Erhu's face became very ugly, or in other words, sad. He really wanted to form a friendship, but Jiang Ze didn't seem to take it seriously at all.
Jiang Ze was not stupid either. He could see Luo Erhu's inner entanglement and asked again: "So is the form of sworn sworn relationship really important to you? If it is really important, then we will sworn sworn friends today."
"No, we can only become sworn brothers if you believe in it."
"I also want to believe it, but can kneeling there and shouting a few slogans really become our creed?" Jiang Ze was still a little skeptical.
Li Xiuwen felt that the atmosphere at the scene was getting worse and worse, and he immediately thought of a way.
"Brother Jiang Ze, if you feel that a few words cannot become our creed, how about we write a pledge of surrender?"
The so-called "voting certificate" was used by marginalized groups in ancient times to enhance group cohesion and express loyalty to individuals and organizations. It has strong life dependence and anti-social tendencies. Later, it was almost no longer used by modern people. However, it is still used by some clandestine illegal organizations and crimes. But the purpose has changed, and the surrender certificate has become something like a contract, handle, and evidence. If someone betrays, as long as the surrender certificate is produced, the other party has to obey.
In simple words, a legal contract is called a contract. An illegal contract is called a letter of surrender.
Originally, becoming brothers was a good thing, but now it turned out like this. This was definitely not the result Jiang Ze wanted to see.
"No, there is no need to submit a certificate. Whether it is history, literature, film and television works, those involved in submitting a certificate will almost never end well." Jiang Ze's mind contains the knowledge of countless people, including history and literature. Although he does not know the art of divination, his intuition tells him that submitting a certificate is not a good thing.
"They didn't end well because they didn't keep their pledges." Li Xiuwen said.
"Needless to say, today, we don't need to make any formalities, we don't need to kneel down, just let this peach blossom bear witness to the brotherhood between us." Jiang Ze waved his hand, and a strong wind suddenly blew up.
Then, Jiang Ze gradually floated up and flew into the sky, with countless peach blossoms spinning around Jiang Ze.
Luo Erhu and Li Xiuwen were shocked, and they were happy while watching.
"This is the power of wind? When did you learn it?"
"This teaching is included in our courses. It is a required course for us. We cannot graduate without learning how to fly. I just learned it early."
"So you were studying this every day during the few days you were in the hospital?"
"Of course, isn't it a pity that time is wasted?"
"This ability is so cool."
"There will be many cool superpowers in the future. Theoretically, everyone can easily master two or three superpowers, but they may only be proficient in one."
"Can I fly too?"
"Of course, I will take you on a flight today."
Jiang Ze started to activate his superpower, and wind suddenly sprang up under the feet of Luo Erhu and Li Xiuwen, and the air flow carried them up.
"My current level is not high enough. You must not move around, otherwise you will fall." Jiang Ze said.
"good."
The two of them tried not to move as much as possible, just rising slowly along with the airflow.
In the end, the three of them were suspended at a height of more than ten meters above the ground. This position was not very high, just like an average three-story building.
But being able to fly into the sky for the first time, they were still very excited.
"Jiang Ze, can you fly higher?" Luo Erhu said excitedly.
"There's really no other way. I still have to reserve the ability to control Peach Blossom. Let's see."
As Jiang Ze smiled, countless peach blossoms began to float around Luo Erhu and Li Xiuwen.
Just like that, the three people were floating in the air, surrounded by countless peach blossoms. The scene was truly beautiful.
"Today, we are here in Taoyuan to be sworn brothers. We do not seek to live together, nor do we seek to die together. We only seek to share honor and disgrace, to share blessings and share hardships." Jiang Ze shouted.
Although what Jiang Ze said was different from ordinary sworn friendships, it was precisely this difference that gave everyone a sense of reality.
Luo Erhu's heart finally opened up, because compared to the so-called oath, what Jiang Ze said made people feel more convinced.
That's right, if you really care about your brothers, why would you want them to die together.
It is enough for brothers to share blessings and bear hardships together.
This friendship is of great significance to the three of them. Jiang Ze became the eldest brother of the three, Luo Erhu was the second brother, and Li Xiuwen was the third brother.
After that, the three of them and Gu Nian worked hard, and after nearly half a year of special training, they became top-notch spies. Jiang Ze was the person with the highest score and the highest prestige among his students, and therefore, he became the military commander among his students.
Not long after a thousand graduates left the training base, they received a new order, which was to sneak into the Chu Kingdom among the Six Kingdoms of Tianzhu.
In terms of Chu's strength, it probably ranks second among the six countries. If something happens to the State of Zhao, the State of Chu will definitely lend a helping hand. Once Chu helps Zhao, other countries will respond one after another.
Therefore, Jiang Ze's task of leading people to sneak into Chu State was to delay or even prevent Chu State from sending troops to help Zhao State.
As early as a year ago, Ao Lie had begun to deploy spies to the Six Kingdoms of Tianzhu. But those spies are not very powerful and cannot reach high-level positions in the military. At most, they can only be politicians or big businessmen. Fortunately, they are doing well, and some have become captains of the labor transport team.
There is usually a flow of people between cities, and transportation teams are needed for movement.
Sometimes, the transport team will be attacked by wild beasts. If they are unlucky, hundreds or even thousands of people will die.
The captain of the transport team can take this opportunity to lie about the number of victims and quietly recruit the secret service to the laborers and civilians. With hundreds of people at a time, no one would be suspicious.
Finally, a thousand special agents led by Jiang Ze took root in the Chu capital.
The combat effectiveness of these one thousand people is extraordinary, and they will be the biggest hidden danger in the capital of Chu State.
Back in time, Jiang Ze and Luo Erhu were in a dark corner, and they had a dispute. That was the disagreement on how to save Gu Nian and when to save Gu Nian.
Luo Erhu is a temperamental person, and of course he can't bear the thought of Gu Nian being in danger, so he simply can't understand Jiang Ze's calmness and calmness.
But Jiang Ze actually cares about Gu Nian. Even though he has put aside his feelings for Gu Nian, it doesn't mean that this feeling has disappeared.
"Erhu, listen to me. You have always believed in me. I hope you will continue to believe in me this time."
"Okay, I can trust you, but you should at least have a plan. Tell me your plan."
"I'll think about it carefully and tell you tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you, wait for you." Luo Erhu had tears in his eyes when he said this.
