Onimuro Fukunobu's face looked as if someone had kicked him hard in the lower body. His body leaned back slightly and his eyes turned to Fuyu Fengzhang, as if he wanted to say something.

"What's wrong?" Fuyu Fengzhang laughed in an almost joking tone: "I remember last night you personally assured me that the armor is sharp enough to restore the country?"

"Follow your orders!" Onimuro Fukunobu knew that the situation was over, so he had no choice but to bow his head and obey his orders.

"Very good, Hei Chi and Sha Zha will be the front commanders, and the leading troops will be the vanguard of the army. Guishi Fuxin will be the left general! Master Daochen will be the right general! Separate the armies to attack the old capital!"

The pork shoulder on the wooden table was roasted until it was golden and crispy, and the aroma was fragrant, but neither Sha Zha Xiangru nor Hei Te Changzhi made a move. Everything that happened in the hall today left them with no appetite.

"Changzhi, I still don't understand!" Black-toothed Changzhi asked: "Why didn't His Highness Feng ascend the throne as king today? Not only that, he also consecrated Master Daochen as the right general, along with Duke Fu Xin and other barbarians?"

"I think the relationship between His Highness Feng and Duke Fu Xin is not as good as it appears!"

"How is this possible? It was Duke Fu Xin who advocated the return of His Highness Feng from Japan! After His Highness returned home, not only did Duke Fu Xin fully support his ascension to the throne, but he also married his sister to him!"

"I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think!" Sha Zha Xiangru shook his head: "If His Highness Feng ascends the throne today, then the person who deserves the greatest credit is undoubtedly Duke Fuxin, and his wife is Duke Fuxin. His sister, I’m afraid everyone in the court is his accomplice? At that time, His Highness Feng must not be a happy king, right?"

"That's true!" Hei Te Changzhi recalled the crowds of people behind Fuxin in the ghost room in the hall earlier, and couldn't help but nodded: "But what's the benefit of His Highness Feng's actions today?"

"That would be a great benefit!" Sha Zha Xiangru said with a smile: "Think about it, since he has not proclaimed himself king today, then the merit of Duke Fu Xin's support will naturally be lost. He also said that he would restore the old capital. He had just ascended the throne as king, so when it came to judging who had more military exploits and who had less military exploits, it was not Duke Fuxin who could dominate the sky with one hand. He also made Master Daochen the right general, and he and Duke Fuxin waited for the barbarians, regardless of Duke Fuxin Master Daochen will control whatever you want to do, wouldn't it be much more comfortable to be such a king?"

"That's right!" Black Teeth Changzhi held up his palm and said with a smile: "Then the reason His Highness Feng gave us two current governors armor is also to deal with Duke Fu Xin?"

"Yes, the former governor is the easiest place to make meritorious deeds. His Highness Feng appointed Master Daochen as the right general to contain Duke Fu Xin, rather than to trust him. The two of us were not on either side at the time, so of course we both used our That’s it!” Sha Zha Xiangru said with a smile: “Didn’t you see how ugly Duke Fu Xin’s face was at that time?”

"That's true!" Hei Te Changzhi nodded: "But from this point of view, Duke Fuxin is really miserable. He tried so hard to invite His Highness Feng back from the Japanese country and even sent his own sister as a gift. Not only did he not appreciate it, he also used If you use such tricks, I wouldn't be angry to death!"

"In the Imperial House, what can we do?" Sha Zha Xiangru sneered: "Guoshi Fuxin sent his sister there with no good intentions. What's wrong with His Highness Feng's betrayal? The only thing that's pitiful is Onimuro Fukunobu's younger sister has a brother on one side and a husband on the other, and it's hard for her to be a weak woman between them!"

"Yes!" Hei Te Changzhi sighed: "Xiangru, it seems that Zhouliucheng is not a place to stay for a long time. Let's leave as soon as possible!"

"Yeah!" Sha Zha Xiangru nodded, pulled out a knife and cut the roasted pork shoulder in two: "Let's add two to one to make five for the first battle, one person for half. The same goes for the soldiers and horses raised along the way. When Si is captured, Xiacheng, the credit is the same, how about it?"

"Okay!" Hei Te Changzhi grabbed half of the pork shoulder: "Half for each person!"

Sixian City and Erzhagang.

The bonfire in the night is like falling stars, sometimes stretching and sometimes shrinking, as if it is alive.

Yuan Fei stood on the watchtower. Even though he was wearing fur, the cold wind could still penetrate his bones and freeze his soul. The neighing of war horses and the sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground came from the stable under his feet. He stamped his feet to regain consciousness in his already numb feet, but to no avail. He was hesitating whether to find a place sheltered from the wind and rub it. Suddenly I heard heavy footsteps behind me.

"Who!" Yuan Fei nervously held the handle of the knife at his waist.

"it's me!"

"Colonel!" Yuan Fei had already heard Wang Wenzuo's voice and hurriedly bowed down. Wang Wenzuo stretched out his hand to help him up and said with a smile: "How is it? It's very cold, right?"

"Fortunately! The robe is very thick!"

Through the mist formed by his breath, Wang Wenzuo could see the frost on his subordinate's hair and beard. He patted the other man's shoulder: "I'll get off duty later, have a good sleep, and you will be exempted from the rest of the morning and evening duties." !”

"no?"

"Yes, you will be directly subordinate to me and responsible for scouting, so you will be exempted from all kinds of duties, and your monthly rations will be doubled!" Wang Wenzuo's smile disappeared as soon as it appeared, like the cold wind in the north: "These days The thieves’ scouting activities are frequent, and the brigade should be here soon!”

Yuan Fei nodded silently. The dense forest under the hill shone coldly in the moonlight. It was huge and mysterious. In the distance, he saw a light on the road leading to the northwest, a few miles away. And the cold streams that rise and fall, pouring down from the mountains and running through the plains, the water surface sparkling and the moonlight reflecting. Other than that, the world was an endless desolation of hills ravaged by cold winds, rugged rocks, and fields covered with residual snow. He couldn't help but think of the horrific legends he had heard when he was a child. He subconsciously clasped his hands together and whispered pray.

"Yuan Fei, let me ask you a question: If there really is a god in that forest, will he support us or the enemy?"

"I do not know about this!"

"I don't know, maybe in the eyes of the gods, you and I are both ants!" Wang Wenzuo's voice was not loud, as if he was talking to himself: "In the face of death, I am as afraid as you. The sword has no eyes and can kill. You will kill me too. All we can do is fight hard, the winner will be honored with a gold medal, and the loser will be buried in the battlefield!"

Yuan Fei nodded subconsciously. He suddenly felt that he was not so scared anymore. Although the situation was still the same, at least he was not facing it alone. He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said boldly: "Colonel Lieutenant, accept me as your Be a gangster!"

"Lang Dang?" Wang Wenzuo was stunned for a moment. He still didn't quite understand the meaning of this unfamiliar word.

"Yes, I have a mother and two younger sisters. If I die in the war, there will be no man in the family. So——"

Yuan Fei stuttered, but Wang Wenzuo already understood what this man meant: "Don't worry, as long as I live, I will take care of your mother and sister!" At this point, he pulled out a short knife and cut his arm , pointing to the blood flowing out of the wound and said: "If there is any violation, God will hate it!"
