The night is getting deeper and deeper.
Zhao Kuo leaned slightly and said nothing more. He just asked Wu Anjun to come in and said: "Wu Anjun, please."
Bai Qi was naturally not polite. He stepped into the hut in one step, facing the direction of Zhao Jun's barracks, and sat down slowly.
Under the bright moonlight overhead, Zhao Jun's camp looked like a giant man-eating beast, looming between heaven and earth. In the midst of the surrounding firelight, the unsheathed long sword of the swordsman and shield soldier in the middle was shining with a cold light, while the crossbow arrows that were ready to go further back were like stars in the sky, and they were releasing breathtaking shots from time to time. The starlight of the soul.
Seeing this, Bai Qi smiled faintly, lifted his robe, and sat down.
Zhao Kuo followed closely behind and sat opposite Bai Qi.
The two sat opposite each other, looking at each other's faces quietly, as if they were about to integrate this moment into their lives. If it weren't for the soft gurgling of warm wine water on the side, the world would seem to have stopped.
He picked up the already warm wine bottle with his left hand and poured a glass of wine for Bai Qi.
"You're here after all." Zhao Kuo said in a low voice while pouring wine and looking at the wine lord.
"Yes! I'm here after all." Bai Qi didn't pick up the wine baron, but just replied lightly.
"You don't have to come." Zhao Kuo still didn't raise his head, and the wine lord who had filled Bai Qi filled another glass for himself.
"But, I'm here after all." Bai Qi said calmly with a slight smile.
Although Zhao Kuo knew that with Bai Qi's temperament, he would definitely come to die, but at this time, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but admire Bai Qi.
To die calmly is just four words, but it is never an easy thing to do.
If you don’t love Qin deeply, who would be willing to give up your life to protect it? If he were not a man of great benevolence and ambition, how could he use his body to block disasters?
But Bai Qi still came, knowing that he was going to die! Still came without any complaints, not even bringing anyone to restrain his body.
This calmness and calmness could not help but make Zhao Kuo feel sympathy for each other. Even at a certain moment, Zhao Kuo was doubting whether what he did was right or wrong? Let such a patriotic man die aggrievedly in his own conspiracy. This situation cannot be described only by pity.
Fortunately, the evening breeze, in addition to bringing a bit of coolness, also brought the smell of Shangdang's land to the tip of Zhao Kuo's nose. It was a faint scent of blood with a hint of sweetness.
This land of Shangdang has left too much blood, and the Warring States Period has existed for too long! ,
As long as Bai Qi is here, Qin will be there. As long as Qin is here, the bloodshed cannot be stopped.
It's that simple.
It was this simple truth that made Zhao Kuo let go of the last trace of reluctance in his heart. He sighed softly, raised the wine baron in front of him with both hands, and gave a slight salute to Bai Qi. Bai Qi also raised the wine baron immediately.
With a clang, the bronze wine barons collided in the air, making a crisp sound. The mixed yellow wine bodies splashed out from their respective wine barons, stirred with each other in the air, and then fell into each other's wine barons.
Obviously, Zhao Kuo was not prepared to end the life of Tangtang Wu Anjun by poisoning him. Of course there is no need for such a despicable method. Since Lord Wu An can come, it has already shown that he is willing to die.
And a general has the honor he deserves, even if he dies.
He raised his neck, and the steaming wine flowed down his throat into his sad intestines.
"Good wine." Bai Qi immediately praised after putting down the wine cup.
"As long as Mr. Wu An likes it." Zhao Kuo also said with a smile.
Of course, wine is not good wine. During the march, people avoid drinking wine. When the food and grass are not available, no one will dare to use the food that can survive to make wine. The drinks brought by Mr. Pingyuan have long been distributed.
Xu Li found this yellow wine with great difficulty, after digging three feet into the ground. Not only is it yellowish, it's even a little astringent.
Of course, drinking is never wine.
After letting go of a huge burden, it’s time to relax and have nothing to do.
Although the person sitting in front of him is his enemy, he is also his opponent, and he is the only one who can understand him.
With close friends facing each other, the moonlight is boundless, why can't wine become a feast?
Zhao Kuo, who put down the wine king and his reluctance, knew that Bai Qi, who was opposite him, must still have many things to ask. Immediately he said: "If Mr. Wu An has any questions, just tell me. I will definitely tell you everything I know."
This is true. Since Bai Qi can no longer go back, Zhao Kuo naturally has no need to hide anything anymore. On the contrary, as a confidant, Zhao Kuo is willing to share all the details of this battle with Bai Qi. Of course, the collision of their minds may spark different sparks, and then Zhao Kuo will make a fortune.
But Bai Qi didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"In that case, I have to thank Ma Fujun even more." Bai Qi picked up the beef on the table with one hand and started chewing it hungrily.
For no other reason, Bai Qi was really hungry! The lack of food for days has already emptied Bai Qi's body. Now that food is in sight, he naturally has to feed his belly first.
As for the doubts in his heart, Bai Qi believed that the two of them would be able to communicate better after they had had enough wine and food.
Zhao Kuo was not idle either, eating Bai Qi deliciously. Not to be outdone, Zhao Kuo picked up the beef and ate it with big mouthfuls. While chewing the meat, he said vaguely: "Don't worry, Mr. Wu An, I specially issued a military order to kill an old cow. We must be fed and drank today."
It's like a host who is treating guests, persuading the guests to use more food.
"Haha!" Bai Qi looked at Zhao Kuo who was devouring food without restraint, and felt happy in his heart. This is what a general should be like, much better than those civil servants. He immediately said: "This is what a man should do."
Zhao Kuo was slightly startled when he heard this. The words seemed a little familiar.
Hey, forget it, I have been traveling for more than two months, and I have never been as happy as today. I can finally let go and have a big meal. For a moment, Zhao Kuo seemed to have returned to his previous life, with a bottle of beer, two or three friends, four or five dishes...
In this way, two sworn enemies from their respective camps, under the bright moonlight, drank wine and ate meat in the hut, like two old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, vowing to use this endless wine and meat. Express your feelings of longing. It was just that the sergeant who was too busy serving the meat was stunned by the soldiers who were waiting carefully.
Soon, a whole leg of beef and half a catty of rice wine were eaten.
I don't know whether it was because the late summer night was still a bit hot, or because the wine was so sad that the two generals were sweating profusely.
Another bottle of rice wine collided in the air, and then the two of them stroked their round bellies, looked at each other, and laughed.
"Kuo, where are your soldiers hiding?"
