Sitting in the camel wine shop, the intoxicating aroma of osmanthus wine made Huang Zhao's mind more sober. He finally regained a little of the general demeanor of the golden sword and iron horse of the past, and he was able to speak normally.

"General Su, I violated military discipline today, where should I be punished, you must not be soft. My life Huang Zhao belongs to the Great Wall Guards, and the army is gone, in fact, it should have been gone a long time ago. ”

"Hmph~" Su Lie's attitude was still cold, and he said: "Since it belongs to the Great Wall Guards, it should be thrown on the battlefield, instead of having his head cut off for violating military discipline." You deserve to be punished for your actions, fifty sticks can't escape, but who will execute them now? Me? Forget it, let's leave it to the future when we return to the Jiayuguan General Camp. ”

Huang Zhao also did not want to lose face in public anymore, and sat with a bow to express his gratitude to the general.

The two began to talk about what happened afterward. Su Lie asked in detail where Huang Zhaodu had been since the disbandment of the army, and what he had done. Huang Zhao answered one by one, and told the customs and customs and world customs and appearances he had seen in the Western Regions countries one by one, Su Lie listened to it with relish, and inserted a few questions from time to time, and the two talked very happily.

Half an hour passed, and in addition to the peanuts on the plate, there were more than a dozen wine bottles on the table. Because Su Lie was happy, he was also slightly drunk, but it was impossible to get drunk, if he wanted to get drunk, he didn't drink with a wine glass, but held a jar containing ten catties of wine and poured it into his mouth, and poured him five or six jars. I think that back then, at the celebration banquet of the great victory over Chedu organized by the soldiers in the army, he used to drink like that, but in the end he was really drunk, he can't remember......

Huang Zhao's alcohol consumption was far less than his, and even if he was sitting at this time, he was a little shaky, but his consciousness was still clear, and he laughed: "General, back then, that eunuch surnamed Chen broke into our camp to announce what kind of holy decree, you were so scared that my soul flew out, hmm~ It's like this!" ”

Huang Zhao slammed his right arm and made a gesture of throwing a frisbee, which actually meant that the soul was indeed thrown out.

Su Lie laughed heartily after this teasing, and there was no severance before drinking.

Huang Zhao was also happy, "But then I rushed into your barracks and tried that your nostrils were still breathing, and I was half relieved." When the military doctor took the pulse and said that you were fine, the half of my heart that I was still hanging on was half lowered. Well...... "He pinched his fingers and calculated, "Yes, there is still a quarter hanging, and later, after a few days, you finally opened your eyes, and the last quarter of my heart was put down~ General, if you don't die in a catastrophe, there will be a blessing in the future, and the day when our Great Wall Guards will rise, I believe in ......"

Laughing and laughing, his throat choked at this point, and Su Lie's eyes were filled with a trace of sadness.

Huang Zhao tried his best to stabilize his emotions, "General Su, I have always had a question for so many years, and I don't know whether to ask it or not. ”

Su Lie said: "We brothers, we have porridge to eat and wine to drink, and you still can't see me?" Just ask, as long as I can answer, I promise not to let you ask in vain. ”

Huang Zhao nodded: "I'm relieved to have the words of the eldest brother, I just want to know how you escaped the pursuit of the imperial court back then?" Everyone thought that as long as you returned to the imperial capital, you would definitely die, but unexpectedly, you not only escaped the executioner's axe, but also settled down in Chang'an City and became a teacher leisurely! ”

This question made Su Lie sad, but it was not completely unanswerable. He looked at the sinking night outside the wooden window and said: "I am from the Chang'an Wang clan, a scholarly family, my ancestors have been the elders of the three dynasties, and my father has also been sent to other places in the King Continent to hold important positions, which you must know." ”

Huang Zhao nodded. General Su Wen Taowu is proficient in everything, and his name as a talented man is well-known inside and outside the Great Wall, who doesn't know about this? The deceased gave him a pen nicknamed the head of the Great Wall.

It is said that his parents had high hopes for him, and spent a lot of money to invite the most famous teachers in Chang'an City to teach him the Four Books and Five Classics, hoping that he would be able to enter high school in the future and eventually sit in the high position of prime minister, so that he could glorify his ancestors for the Su family.

However, the Su family's parents did everything they could, but they didn't calculate that their children would give birth to their own minds after they were sensible, and they were no longer under their control.

Since he was ten years old, Su Lie has been obsessed with all kinds of books on the art of war, and he has read them tirelessly, to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat. At first, my father did not interfere, thinking that as long as he did not delay his classes, it was okay to develop hobbies. He even invited a martial arts instructor for his son to teach knives, guns, sticks, and sticks, including simple machine gun principles.

It is rumored that when his father was dying, his only last words were: "I regret it, I regret that I shouldn't have invited Su Lie to be a martial arts instructor, and I also taught him the principle of machine guns, and since then he has been pushed on the road of no return from Rong......"

Su Lie felt deeply guilty about failing to live up to his parents' trust, and often knelt down in front of them and his ancestors for a day because he was not a filial son, but he never regretted his choice, just because he thought that although he had failed his parents, he had not failed the people of the world, since filial piety and righteousness could not be both, he could only choose righteousness, and whether he was from literature or martial arts, as long as he could save the country, his parents should not be disappointed in him.

Huang Zhao said: "When the Great Wall guards were disbanded, when General Su returned to Beijing to ask for guilt, Ling Zun had passed away for many years, and the Su family fell from this family road, and it was in a slump, almost no one remembered the scenery of the family in the past, how could the general use the family power to get out of trouble?" ”

Su Lie stroked his beard and sighed: "Hey, it is no good for me for anyone to remember or not, but as long as one person can have the heart to mention it, I will see life." ”

"Oh? Who is that man? Huang Zhao's dark eyes lit up.

Su Lie said two words briefly: "Your Majesty." ”

"Oh~It's him~" Huang Zhao retracted his shoulders and sneered contemptuously.

Su Lie has never revered the fat emperor, but his loyalty to the monarch does not allow him to talk about the monarch.

He glanced at Huang Zhao and said, "As the monarch of a country, everything must be comprehensive, how can being a person be as simple as you and me?" Therefore, no matter what happened in the past, we should not hold grudges, as long as we do our duty and have a clear conscience. ”

"The general has learned a lesson!" Huang Zhao arched his hand, indicating that he was taught.

Su Lie said: "When I returned to the court that day, when I appeared at the door of the main hall, I naturally shocked the entire court, and there were two or three people who fainted. ”

"Hahaha~" Huang Zhao laughed, "I think the person who fainted is the bastard who poisoned the eunuch surnamed Chen, right?" ”

Su Lie replied in the affirmative with silence, and said: "After waiting for the face of the king, I learned that Gonggong Chen was killed because of his unfavorable work and changed the will of the Holy Decree without authorization, and his head was hung on the tower of Xuanwu Gate for three days to show the public. Of course, the two little eunuchs who announced the decree with him had already told him to kill his mouth first. ”

"What a cold-blooded Qin Shou!" Huang Zhao struck the wine table, knocked down two wine bottles, and spilled the residual wine on the table. It is not a pity for Gonggong Chen to die even if he gives a thousand cuts, but he has pity for the two innocent little eunuchs.
