Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 55

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, colleagues in the Hebei camp hosted a banquet for the newly appointed Commander of the Fifth Army in Zhenbei, Kelemacus. Well, Zhou Dingchen, the secretary in charge, also wants to discuss this matter, and all the generals must come, and they have to drink when they come, so as not to make Tong Shuai look bad.Drinking will naturally attract the company of prostitutes from the women's camp, who knows that this company will lead to trouble.

According to the rules, generals can ask prostitutes from the women's battalion to serve in bed.But now the camp in Hebei is different. Tong Guan is arranged to only let prostitutes sing and persuade them to drink when they usually have banquets, and never stay to serve them.Therefore, the generals in the Hebei camp had no choice but to follow the example and did not dare to go beyond the rules. As time went by, the saying goes that a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a thief, and stealing is worse than not being able to steal it. The prostitutes in the village have taken care of them. The girls in Bianjing Jiaofang have different flavors than those in the border areas. No matter what happened in the past, at least in Hebei, no one has won the first place. If you go back to be a concubine, It's not a shame.Ever since Han Shizhong married the little beauty Li Hongyu and went back, the minds of the other generals have also begun to come alive. There are quite a few people who hold the secretary Zhou Dingchen to drink and play money all day long.

This was originally a tacit matter in Daying, Hebei. Unexpectedly, Marcus, the commander of the Fifth Army in Zhenbei, who was newly recruited, did not understand the rules. , stretched her hand into the skirt and scratched and pinched, Ji Xixi, the diva who bought the wine, didn't dare to refuse, and couldn't bear it, she only frowned, looking aggrieved, but the corners of her eyes were looking at the Jingsai Second Army beside her. Commander Tian Shizhen.

Tian Shizhen is Ji Xixi's good friend. Seeing this, he put the wine glass on the table and was about to stand up, but was held down by Hu Sai'an next to him. Hu Sai'an said in his ear: "This Hu is a child. The commander-in-chief values ​​it, so you must be patient." Tian Shizhen blushed from holding back, and finally poured down the wine by raising her neck, turned her head away, and stopped looking at the upper table. Seeing this scene, Ji Xixi's tears came down .

After drinking for a long time, the generals and the barbarian did not have much speculation. When Marcus stood up to say goodbye, he hugged the singer and drunkenly said: "Tonight, this woman is mine." Said It was about to drag Ji Xixi out together.At this moment, Tian Shizhen couldn't bear it any longer, overturned the table on the spot, stopped in front of him and said, "You barbarian who doesn't understand the rules, the women in the camp, you can't just take them away if you want."

Marcus was taken aback, glanced at Tian Shizhen, seemed to think of something, laughed and said: "It's okay, I understand the rules, I will go first today, and it will be your turn tomorrow. Isn't that what women who enjoy the big camp are like? "After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Zhou Dingchen inquiringly.

"This..." Zhou Dingchen faltered suddenly. He usually took a lot of Tian Shizhen's benefits, but if he followed the rules, what Marcus said was right.

"That's it," Marcus seemed a little impatient, and stretched out his hand to push Tian Shizhen away and said, "Get out of the way, you have to be in a hurry, and come to pick it up tomorrow morning."

As soon as he finished speaking, "I'll take your 'grandma'!" Tian Shizhen hit Marcus in the face with a punch. Marcus was caught off guard and staggered by him, and immediately became violent ’, “touching” the knife casually, the knife was immediately snatched away by two generals of the Hebei camp next to him, and two other generals held his arms, shouting in their mouths “Private fighting is strictly prohibited in the army”, “If you have something to say, don’t Let's do it", "Harmony is the most important thing!"

Seeing this, Tian Shizhen couldn't understand what he meant, and immediately rushed forward to punch him a few more times.The clinker Marcus twisted his waist and performed a breakaway technique in prairie wrestling. He took a step forward in a daze and happened to collide with Tian Shizhen. Fighting tossing and turning.All the generals surrounded them and shouted to persuade them to fight, but no one really stepped forward to pull them away, instead there were quite a few of them secretly.

Zhou Dingchen, the secretary in charge, did not dare to offend the public at this time, but just stood beside him anxiously like ants on a hot pot.Suddenly, he saw Han Shizhong, the commander of the Second Army in Zhenbei, standing by with his arms folded and watching coldly. Zhou Dingchen knew that Han Shizhong's physical strength was amazing, so he rushed up and said, "General Han, help my brothers today anyway, and pull him away." "Han Shizhong spread his hands together, his face showed embarrassment and said: "I'm afraid it's hard to be a good person." He couldn't save Zhou Dingchen's face, and was about to step forward, his eyes first looked at the two people fighting on the ground. With a cold look in his eyes, he stopped in his tracks.

Tian Shizhen and Marcus were fighting violently, Tian Shizhen's turban was ripped off, her hair was disheveled like a beggar, Marcus's new official robe was torn, and he simply tore his jacket in half, as if wrestling His upper body was bare like his hands, and he wrestled with Tian Shizhen.Han Shizhong's gaze focused on Marcus's chest, where a ferocious wolf head tattoo was 'revealed' impressively.Seeing this long-lost mark, no matter how much Zhou Dingchen begged, Han Shizhong's feet seemed to have taken root on the ground, and he could no longer move away. Veins appeared on his forehead, and his face seemed to be covered with ice for thousands of years. .

Ten days later, Zhao Xingde was checking the progress of the script printing in the printing workshop, when Han Shizhong with a gloomy face found him.

"Isn't there a mistake?" Zhao Xingde put down the set of printing plates, and asked in confusion.

"There's nothing wrong with that. I've had a few drinks with the battalion commanders under the Fifth Army, and I've confirmed it. At that time, Kled was wandering around with a team of advance troops to fight Grass Valley. Dozens of them were folded. He just arrived here, and he didn’t know that we were the ones who fought him back then, but it’s not necessarily so after a long time.”

"What are you going to do?"

"Although the Fifth Army has a separate battalion, Marcus must be there at noon tomorrow when the commander-in-chief arrives. On his way back to the camp, I have already found a place to ambush him. When the time comes, I will kill him with an arrow."

"What?" Zhao Xingde looked to the left and right, and dissuaded in a low voice, "The general has a bright future, why would you risk your life and follow the example of Zhang Zifang Bolang's blow, why not take it slowly?" He paused, hesitating, " The commander-in-chief is looking up to the general, or maybe it’s okay to expose Marcus’s act of robbing the caravan.”

"This Marcus was recruited by Mr. Tong, and he is about to rely on him. In the past, not to mention robbing caravans, he would not take care of his family, even if he killed officials and rebelled." Han Shizhong said harshly, "He Ke Lie Marcus took my brother's life, and he'll pay for it. First you win, last you suffer."

Zhao Xingde nodded, and before he could answer, Han Shizhong said again: "The ambush is 150 steps away from the official road, and you need to use a three-stone hard bow to kill people. If I am the only one who shoots, I will miss , that Cremachus was frightened, and it will not be easy to take his life in the future."

Han Shizhong stopped talking when he said this, Zhao Xingde knocked on the printing plate of the script, lowered his head in thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you here to ask me to fight with you?"

"Yes," Han Shizhong nodded, "In the big camp, there are not many people who can open a three-stone bow, and none of them I can trust."

Mr. Zhao was talking with General Han, and the servants and idlers around the printing workshop did not dare to approach in awe. The midday sun passed through the gaps in the roof, casting spots of light on the printing plate next to Xingde, just in time. The reverse engraved inscription "Biography of Dong Junshi" kept jumping left and right, and Han Shizhong stood beside Xingde, as if two people were discussing the matter of publishing the printed copy.

Zhao Xingde thought over and over again, and finally agreed to help.

Facts have proved that Han Shizhong is indeed a master of ambushes.No matter the time and place are exactly the same, the commander of the fifth army in the north of the town made Kremacus come back from Tongguan's commander-in-chief. An arrow with carved mace and feathers, one arrow hit the forehead, half of it pierced into the brain, the other hit the throat, and came out through the neck.Cremachus fell headlong from his horse without a cry.All the soldiers searched everywhere, but no trace of the assassin was found.

"In the barracks, if you killed someone together, it's a fatal friendship." In the evening, Han Shizhong asked Li Hongyu to find a sea bowl, cut his wrist and let the blood drip into it, Zhao Xingde couldn't evade it, and the two drank the blood wine .
