"Huang Zhao, General Huang, did you hear what the people around outside said? I guess as long as you're not deaf, you can't pretend you didn't hear anything, right? ”

Su Lie looked down at Huang Zhao, and his words were as cold as a blade.

The middle-aged man kneeling in front of him, about in his early forties, had his hair messed up like a bird's nest, and he could find anything dirty in it, straw leaves, and even bird droppings. The thin face was covered with mud, except for a pair of eyes that shone brightly, and the ears, nose and even mouth were gray and the color could not be seen clearly.

Looking at his attire again, needless to say, the shirt only covers half of his chest, and although his exposed arms are no different from lotus roots covered in pond mud, he can see the developed deltoid muscles, indicating that his body is very strong.

This person was Su Lie's lieutenant Huang Zhao, who wandered to Chang'an from the distant Persian kingdom to defect to the old master.

At the beginning, the imperial court sent a eunuch with a duck voice to read out the secret decree, and General Su insisted on confessing his guilt, and did not hesitate to drink the poisonous wine brought by the eunuch, just to save the lives of 80,000 soldiers.

Huang Zhao is upright, the general's behavior is cowardice and retreat in his opinion, but the general is stubborn by nature, and the decision he makes will not be changed easily, even if he can't listen to what a cronie like himself says, what can he do if he is reluctant? He could only withdraw from the general's study gloomily, leaving him alone to face the eunuch......

Half an hour after the exit, the eunuch took the two trembling little eunuchs away. Although the oily and slippery face when he left was frightened, it was also mixed with pride, an ugly figure who succeeded in his treacherous schemes.

Looking through the half-open door, Huang Zhao could see the general in armor and solemnly receiving orders lying on the ground, his head facing inward and his feet facing the door, not moving......

Huang Zhao's heart was broken, and he seemed to run in to help the general, and tested his snort with his hand, although he was angry, he was still alive.

Huang Zhao was filled with joy and sorrow, and hurriedly wanted to call a military doctor to treat him, but when he turned his head and saw the bright carmine stained on the fingers of the general's right hand, he knew that the general was gone.

Huang Zhao can't manage the long-term, he can only look at the present. General Su was dying, and it would be too late if he didn't rescue him, so he carried Su Lie back to the dormitory with the captain guarding the door, and as soon as he was put on the bed, several military doctors arrived in unison.

General Su's safety is related to the life and death of the Great Wall guards, as soon as the news spreads, it affects the hearts of thousands of people, how dare the military doctors slack off?

However, when the first person took the general's pulse, he stood up with a surprised expression and let out a long "huh".

The others were puzzled when they saw this, and Huang Zhao was even more shocked, thinking that the general was in a catastrophe this time, and he even lost his strength to ask the military doctor what the situation was.

Fortunately, the military doctor told the truth under the questioning of other doctors: "According to General Su's pulse, he was not poisoned, but asleep." ”

"Huh?!"

The crowd exclaimed in unison, unable to tell whether to express disbelief or joy.

Each of the military doctors who arrived gave the general a pulse, and each time he took the pulse, the expression and exclamation he made were the same as the first one, Huang Zhao didn't believe that he couldn't get along with himself, and then he turned his worries into joy, happily ran out of the house, and knelt down to express his gratitude to the sky.

It was a full seven days before Su Lie woke up from his dream. After sleeping for so long, Huang Zhao was worried again, and it was not until he saw him open his eyes that his heart fell back after hanging for seven days.

Su Lie walked before the ghost gate, and when he came back, Huang Zhao asked him how he felt and whether he would invite a military doctor to come for treatment, but he only waved his hand and signaled the adjutant general not to disturb him.

"When the general woke up, how did he become like a wooden man who didn't know how to make expressions?" This was Huang Zhao's feeling about him, but he didn't know that in his sleep, Su Lie experienced a major event that anyone would find unbelievable after hearing about it—meeting with Zhong Kui, the judge of the prefecture, to discuss the future of the Great Wall Guards.

In the next few days, Su Lie still cherished words like gold, not to mention others, even if it was a simple order to Huang Zhao, but he didn't say a word about the eunuchs and the holy decree, as if the tragedy had never happened.

However, up and down the barracks, from the south to the north of the Great Wall, everyone could feel the unusual atmosphere, and no matter how slow the reaction was, it was expected that something big would happen in the army.

Sure enough, half a month later, Su Lie's body recovered as before, and he summoned more than a dozen major generals such as Huang Zhao to inform them of the news of the imminent disbandment of the Great Wall Guards.

"What? General, how could you make such a decision ?! Huang Zhao was the first to object, and it was time for the emotions that had been suppressed for many days to explode.

Not only him, but everyone in the meeting expressed opposition, and the wave of opposition almost drowned Su Lie, and under normal circumstances, it would be unkind for him not to change his decision.

But Su Lie behaved like this.

"I've made up my mind on this matter, so you can only nod your head and agree. Anyone who violates it will be dealt with by military law. I know that you are all brave and good at fighting, and you will not hesitate to give me even the death to admonish you, but I would like to remind you to pay attention to the word 'temporary', which means that one day this army will be reinvigorated and once again invincible on the battlefield. If you die today, you will miss the opportunity to turn back tomorrow. Which is more important, weigh it up for yourselves. ”

The general's words were resolute in his intentions, and he could not tolerate the slightest debate, and everyone could hear it, but there were still people who were unwilling and took a step forward and asked: "General, are you forced to make such a decision?" As long as you give an order, the brothers will be able to swear by blood, vowing to follow you to Chang'an, kill the emperor and punish the ministers, and let the king continent change the sky! ”

"Presumptuous!" Su Liewei drank, and at the same time, the wind in his hand swept by, and the person who admonished him had not yet breathed, and he felt a chill on the top of his head, and his thick hair fell down...... It turned out that Su Lie drew his sword and cut off the crown of his hair as a warning.

As a result, the generals had to be silenced, and no one dared to show their antipathy. They really want to be alive, not to save their lives, but to see the day when the Great Wall Guardians re-emerge.

At the end of the meeting, Su Lie told everyone that in a few years, the password for the reunion of the Great Wall Guards: The Great Wall is here, and the hometown is here!

This is the password that the purple-faced judge told him when he was parting with Zhong Kui, and he naturally didn't know that this bold sentence full of patriotic enthusiasm actually came from Dunshan.

After the meeting was adjourned, the generals went down to their respective barracks to deploy, and Su Lie began to pack up and return to Chang'an.

Huang Zhao didn't leave, Su Lie didn't drive him away, he fought side by side with this subordinate for many years, and the two of them couldn't tell who saved whom a little more times in order to resist each other. The separation is imminent, I don't know when we will see each other again, Huang Zhao is reluctant, and Su Lie is also reluctant.

"General Huang, what will you plan to do after the horse is released to Nanshan? Is it to go back to the hometown of the land of origin to find a girl and start a family? Su Lie pretended to ask Huang Zhao lightly.

Huang Zhao was full of grief and indignation, and replied decisively: "Huang Zhao's home is on the Great Wall, and his business is also on the Great Wall. ”
