The Truth-seeking School is located in Gutu Street in the West Market, which is a small street separated from the main road of Suzaku Street, although it is not prosperous, life is extremely convenient, and people who do not like to join in the excitement can not run to the East Market in January.

After school, it is usually early before dark, so Su Lie likes to walk to Shen Lane on Gutu Street, where there are several used bookstores, and if you are patient, you can often find one or two extremely valuable ancient books.

However, whether he bought a book or not, Su Lie would not leave after shopping at the bookstore, but had to go to the camel wine shop next door to the bookstore to sit and taste the osmanthus wine brewed by the shopkeeper Camel Zhang.

The camel wine shop has been open in Shen Xiang for ten years, and Master Zhang's winemaking skills are exquisite, and he can make osmanthus wine with the taste of elixir and jade dew. In the past ten years, there has been an endless stream of famous customers, and almost every new customer has become a regular customer after a small drink. There are also residents who live in the alleys, and even if they move away, they often come back to buy alcohol.

The business of camel Zhang Xinglong has verified a classic saying: the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

Lock the door of the school, and then we will come back tomorrow. Su Lie maintained the habit of strolling as usual, and walked towards Gutu Street.

In addition to the camel wine shop, there are actually many large and small taverns on Gutu Street, but Su Lie is also greedy for the strong fragrance of osmanthus wine, and rarely patronizes other taverns, so every time he passes by in front of those shops, he takes a look inside and continues to move forward.

But today, when I walked to the door of a tavern called Keyunlai, I had to stop and poke my head out to look in.

Keyunlai's main business is small meals, and braised pork is the chef's specialty, so the prosperity of the business can catch up with the camel wine shop.

At this hour, the diners have not gathered here, and it will take at least another hour for the restaurant to officially open, so it is usually deserted, but when Su Lie passes by, why is it so lively inside and outside?

"You person, you don't have the money to say it earlier! The owner of our shop is kind and generous, and he never hesitates to give leftovers to beggars, but you have to sit at your seat and order! What is this not eating a bully meal? The shopkeeper was shouting and scolding at a sharp voice, and his voice was so high that it exploded.

"Whew!" The roar of eating the overlord's meal: "When Lao Tzu resisted the strong crossbow to keep you safe, you were still fucking wearing open crotch pants, right?" Dare to shout at Lao Tzu like this? The guards of the Great Wall, how can they eat the food that comes from them? Throwing your head and spilling blood to let you bastards live without knowing how nourishing it is, what's wrong with eating your meal? How much is it worth?! ”

"The Great Wall Guard?!"

Su Lie's shoulders trembled, his forehead began to sweat, and the cross scar on his right cheek, which could no longer be removed, actually ached faintly.

Not only did these words have an effect on Su Lie, but also the man's voice, which sounded extremely familiar, quickly brought him back to the battlefield of the beacon fire and smoke, as well as the stone fortress set up on the city of Jiayuguan.

……

More than ten years ago......

"General Su, hehehe, the miscellaneous family knows that you are fortunate in the border area, so I specially brought the emperor's edict to order you to temporarily stop the army and repair, and return to Chang'an to report on your work."

Gonggong Chen, who came to deliver the decree, laughed with an ugly male duck voice, laughing so much that Su Lie couldn't wait to use a knife to split the white-haired shawl, who looked neither male nor female, in half.

But he can't be impulsive and bad, as the highest-ranking general of the Great Wall Guard, he can lead by example and abide by the rules set by the imperial court, otherwise he is very likely to cause the army to mutiniate and become a rebel spurned by future generations!

However, the task of guarding the Great Wall was carried out with great difficulty, and it could be seen that the Great Wall guards begged the imperial court to let them guard here.

The army of 80,000 people is short of food and clothing, and it is difficult to pay the full amount of military salaries every month. The soldiers complained, and many of them had the idea of desertion, but they always forbeared, always persevered, even if their hands and feet were covered with frostbite in the winter, and they were sunburned in the city, they did not show the slightest boredom.

The strength of these people comes from the same belief - if General Su does not leave, the Great Wall will be there. General Su regarded the Great Wall as his home, and the Great Wall was also their home. It is natural to defend one's homeland, how can one give up because of difficult conditions?

The giant dragon built of bricks and stones under his feet, Su Lie has been with it for ten years. Thinking that when he first saw the recruitment notice of the Great Wall Guard Army posted by the government on Suzaku Street, he abandoned his pen without hesitation and left the home where he had raised him for 20 years.

The old father and mother in the family didn't understand him, and relatives and friends also rolled their eyes, laughing at him, a rich kid, who was too cheap and impatient to live, but he never regretted his choice.

His right hand has grown calluses from holding too many pens, but he thinks that the real hero should be called by training weapons for a long time, and the calluses should also cover his hands.

From an ordinary non-commissioned officer to a lieutenant, and then to a general, others seem to have a smooth career for General Su Lie, but he himself knows the reason.

Although the land of Kings is calm and calm, Chang'an City has been safe for many years as the capital of the Taiping Kingdom, but the border of the Great Wall is often invaded by foreign races. Poor small countries, especially those dominated by demon seeds, covet the wealth of Chang'an City, and are eager to extend their power into the eastern part of the Great Wall and loot like robbers.

Leading the Great Wall Guards means going to the battlefield and enjoying the good days of clothes and food, who wants to abandon their wives and children to suffer in a wild land?

Exploits? Forget it, in today's imperial court, it is easy to go home and enjoy yourself after taking an idle position, like blowing up a speck of dust, and you can fight for your life? It doesn't matter if the court has any military merits, as long as there are enough flattering words, and there is no money when you go up and down, you can mix well in the officialdom, and these people are naturally separated from the battlefield as far away as possible!

Only Su Lie, when the obese emperor sat on the dragon chair, looked at a courtier with small eyes that seemed to never wake up and could not open, and asked worriedly who was willing to lead troops to meet the provocation of the Chedu Kingdom, and was furious because no one came out, Su Lie, who was only a captain of the palace, stepped forward and expressed his willingness to serve the country and vowed to protect the safety of the Great Wall with his life.

As soon as the emperor was pleased, he threw him the title of general, and some people were not convinced on the spot, and there were many people who dared to speak fiercely against it.

The emperor was so angry that his fingers as thick as bananas shivered at the admonition, and he almost died of a stroke. Since then, no one has the courage to stop Su Lie from being enthroned, but not saying it doesn't mean that they are convinced, and from that day on, their disdain and hatred for the indisputable captain began to take root.

Su Lie lived up to the emperor's high expectations and led 80,000 Great Wall guards to fight for only three days before repelling the attack of Chedu and restoring the Great Wall to its former tranquility.

The generals who were dodging the battlefield saw that it was so easy to defeat the enemy, and the enemy was too weak, so Su Lie picked up a big bargain. Presumably, this captain has already hidden his evil intentions, and he dared to take the lead in the main hall after checking that Che Duguo was vulnerable!

Bastard thing, don't you want to be his school captain, rely on opportunism to rise to prominence, enjoy the high-mansion compound given by the emperor, and have a group of wives and concubines?

Is it tolerable or unbearable, the sky is above, how can he continue to be so arrogant?
