Chapter 54 Practicing swords in the snow!Too fierce swordsmanship!
Sa~
The dark clouds were deep and dark, countless flakes of snow fell from the sky, and with the faint light of the early morning, they fell into the Dongli barracks.

"It's snowing, it seems to be very suitable for practicing swords..."

Jiang Chen stuffed "The Way of the Too Fierce Sword" into the inner pocket of his cotton coat, and walked out of the camp slowly, still thinking about Fan Liangshan's warning from yesterday.

"...He let you know about the Xiongnu, I guess——the next military order sent by General Hongwu must be related to the Xiongnu!

I am afraid that the person he wants to sacrifice at that time is you, your militiamen, and the lives of thousands of civilians! "

The above content, combined with the information disclosed by Zhihai Jinzi, he has fully understood all kinds of weird and confusing things that have happened in the past month.

At the beginning, Jiang Chen made great contributions, but "Zhang Longxiang" was extremely stingy in rewarding him for his achievements. At that time, he had little knowledge and did not notice any problems.

But now it seems... How can a mere double have the bearing and generosity of Zhang Longxiang himself?
It is the nature of ordinary people to be stingy!

It was precisely because of Zhang Ying's lack of strength that he had to accept military orders that exceeded his limit twice, which eventually led to all kinds of tragic consequences.

"One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted!"

Five hundred Qingzhou soldiers died because of this, winter clothes and other important supplies were burned, and the remaining surviving soldiers and civilian husbands were also rejected by the main force of the Western Expeditionary Army because of this incident.

Then when they attacked Dongli City, they also lost troops and lost generals. They clearly won, but their morale was extremely low.

However, Zhang Ying couldn't be blamed for this matter. He fought bloody battles twice, and he had already reached the acme of what a stand-in could do.

All grievances, mysteries, oddities, and confusions boil down to one question:
"Where did Zhang Longxiang go?"

This question, now, has an answer - he went to Loulan to assassinate the king!
But at this time.

Xiao Wu and Si Shi's soldiers filed out of the camp, and happened to bump into Jiang Chen head-on, and asked curiously:

"Boss, where are you going?"

Jiang Chen's thoughts were interrupted, he raised his head and responded with a smile:
"I feel a little unhappy, find a secluded place where there is no one, go to practice the knife, and vent it."

said,

He raised the sharp long knife in his hand.

Xiao Wu clasped his fists and said hastily:

"Then don't bother the boss, I'm going to patrol the streets later."

The four soldiers behind them wrapped their cotton clothes tightly, and most of them showed a little reluctance on their faces, and some of them even had sleepy eyes in their eyes.

Jiang Chen thought for a few seconds, then said in a deep voice:

"The day after tomorrow is when the granary will be inspected and completed. You can't relax because of the snow. If something goes wrong, not only will you be useless, you will have to accept punishment. !"

"In the last two days, please be dedicated to your duties. When the granary is completed, I will reward those who perform the most outstandingly. The next Qingyang ceremony will take place in at most three or four days..."

moment.

As soon as they heard the six words "reward for blood-tonifying grass fruit", the four soldiers immediately felt relieved, and they all puffed up their chests, full of energy.

Xiao Wu glanced at them coldly, then turned his head to look at Jiang Chen, and said solemnly:
"Boss, don't worry, anyone who dares to make trouble, please step over my corpse first."

The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth twitched, and he said, "That's not necessary. If you encounter an irresistible danger, the most important thing is to remain useful."

Done.

He waved his hand and asked Xiao Wu and others to go to various streets and inspect around the granary as soon as possible.

"Yes, boss!"

Xiao Wu immediately took many soldiers and stepped forward quickly.

Jiang Chen stared at Xiao Wu's disappearing figure, recalling Fan Liangshan's warning again in his mind, and said quietly:

"I'm afraid that the person Zhang Ying wants to sacrifice at that time is me, Xiao Wu, Gongsun Hu, and Chen Buhung, and the lives of thousands of people!"

Think about this.

Jiang Chen became more and more unhappy, holding a long knife, slowly walked out of the civilian camp, out of Dongli City, and walked towards the depths of the Gobi.

…………

In the wind and snow, a figure stepped on the Gobi sand, walking slowly with a knife.

The icy cold wind blew through his clothes, and the chill that hit him from all directions made his body surface slightly frostbitten.

This person is Jiang Chen.

He picked up the thoughts that were interrupted by Xiao Wu before, "Where did Zhang Longxiang go?" This question already has an answer.

"Zhang Longxiang, went to Loulan Capital!"

"I want to use my own body to assassinate the king!"

"If it succeeds, it will truly be a major event that will shake the world, and even the emperor will have to personally approve it!"

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth, and he remembered an old saying, with a deep sense of helplessness in his tone:
"One will succeed and ten thousand bones will die!"

"There are more than a thousand civilians in Dongli City, a thousand Qingzhou soldiers, Wuchang, Shizhang, Tuenzhang, a hundred generals, five hundred masters, a thousand commanders, even Zhang Ying, and even me, I am afraid that none of them can be called 'a general' ..."

"We people, at best, are just one of thousands of dead bones!"

Jiang Chen sighed, gripped the weapon tightly, and looked up at the sky.

The rain and snow poured down from the thick clouds, swallowing most of the light in the world, and drowning out the scarce greenery in the Gobi.

The vast Gobi became more and more cruel and dead, as if all the hopes in the world were drowned in the deep darkness!
As the captain of a battalion of soldiers, so what if you are Zhang Longxiang?
So what if you are the number one reckless general in David's dynasty?
So what if you are the nemesis of the Huns?
Two thousand Qingzhou soldiers trust you, and thousands of civilians follow you!
And you!

However, he neglected his duties and put all the responsibilities and obligations that belonged to him on the weak shoulders of his double Zhang Ying. Is this fair?

The cold wind is getting bitterer.

Jiang Chen was walking deep in the Gobi, and remembered a sentence:

"You didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of you!"

Thousands of Qingzhou soldiers have followed Zhang Longxiang for many years, but this legendary captain, who can be called the son of destiny, left his comrades behind to do some earth-shattering events in private!

finally,
These soldiers who trusted Zhang Longxiang died in vain for the word "Zhang Longxiang".

There was a deep sense of helplessness in Jiang Chen's eyes, and the sadness contained in his eyes was like the ice surface at the mouth of a volcanic lake. Under the deep cold, there was a monstrous red flame that could destroy everything!

He walked forward slowly, but at this moment, a boulder of Huangyan, nearly [-] to [-] cubic meters, blocked the way forward.

It is also at this moment,
Jiang Chen realized in his heart that it was time to swing the knife!
a knife,

Another knife...

On the surface of the huge rock of Huangyan, deep knife marks were gradually cut out one after another.

The depth of each knife mark is slightly stronger than the previous one. In just one stick of incense, the newly swung knife mark has a depth of three inches!

Exactly at this time.

A group of hungry wolves wandered in the wilderness hundreds of meters away.

The head wolf is black all over, and has a particularly large body. It is nearly two meters three four in length, and it has a faint tendency to become refined.

Its ears are far better than those of ordinary wolves. When it heard the dull knocking sound from the back of the Huangyan boulder, it immediately called out to the pack of wolves, and rushed towards the direction of the Huangyan boulder!

Even the most dangerous human beings in the world, this group of hungry wolves, want to bite off a piece of tender flesh and eat it!
While running, the pack of wolves opened their bloody mouths, which were covered with fangs. Drops of sticky saliva slipped down the fangs, obviously extremely hungry!

The distance gradually narrowed.

Jiang Chen could already smell the thick bloody stench emanating from those wild wolves, as well as the ferocious aura unique to man-eating beasts!
But he didn't care, with a calm expression, he still swung his long knife and slashed at the huge rock of Huangyan!
His imposing behavior is like... Treating wolves like dogs, it's not worth mentioning!
