It is said that there are nine war drums, but in fact, only three sides are real war drums, the other two sides are drums for crying out for grievances dismantled from the gate of the county government office, and the remaining four sides are ordinary musical drums found to make up the number. Gained a little momentum.

With the sound of drums, the sound of neat footsteps came from the school grounds, and after a while, Chu Rou was seen coming with her head held high and her chest held high.

Behind Chu Rou, there are three tall and burly men running side by side, and among the three men, the strongest man is holding a blue flag, and in the center of the flag is embroidered a huge... The word "Chu" in black.

This is the military flag of Chu Ning, the new captain of the accompanying army.

This is a flag that Xie Yunzhu took time out of his busy schedule to embroider by a few idlers.

It is simple and rough, and it doesn't look like a military flag at all. It's just a piece of blue cloth that was picked up at random, and a "Chu" character was embroidered on it.

Therefore, when this flag appeared in the eyes of everyone, everyone present began to chat and discuss.

"Is she the new captain?"

"You're just a daughter, how dare you be a military officer?"

"Didn't the white-clothed Yunhou back then also be a daughter?"

"But this female school captain, although she looks a bit heroic, she is very gentle and harmless when she smiles..."

"However, seeing her dare to appear on the stage in public, she has a lot of courage..."

"I can't say, it's just that I'm very happy, and I like ostentation..."

"Maybe he deliberately wants to show off his achievements, and wants to get money from my pocket..."

……

But soon, they stopped talking and stopped laughing.

For the sergeant who came right behind that banner changed all their minds.

Behind the school captain's flag, four rows of sergeants of the same size came in brand-new black uniforms with wide belts around their waists and tasseled guns in their hands, striding forward with extraordinary momentum.

This was an unusually neat team. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they came to the high platform where Chuning was standing, lined up in an orderly manner, neatly clenched their fists, put them on their chests and shouted: "See the general!"

Chu Ning also clenched his right hand and put his fist on his chest in return for a military salute. Then he slowly swept across his subordinates, then looked at the gentry and gentry in the distance and the common people further away, and said loudly:

"I! Chu Ning! I was born in Donglai and grew up in Donglai. I have heard and seen all bandits and pirates since I was a child and now I am [-] years old. They are all devastated and all are bones. Tired..."

"In the past ten years, my Donglai County has experienced countless thieves and bandits. How many wives were separated from each other, and how many families were destroyed, all because of this?"

"Thanks to the benevolence of heaven and earth, and the wiseness of the sage, he sent Mr. Wang County to our county, which gave me a chance for Chu Ning, and also gave the people of my county a way to survive."

"Thanks to the county lord's strategizing, I, Chu Ning, rose up with my relatives and righteous people and fought several bloody battles with bandits and pirates. In the end, I was able to behead 730 of the thieves and capture 330 of them alive."

Following Chu Ning's voice, Liu Changgui, the former second head of the Qinglong Village, has now transformed himself into the leader of the Guards Army. Go to the open space under the stage.

Jingguan!

This overjoyed and ostentatious Colonel Chu actually plans to watch in Beijing? ! ! !

All the people present, from wealthy gentry to common people, refugees and beggars, as long as they were present, all of them changed face!

The wealthy gentry and wealthy households are all more knowledgeable people. The reason why they look pale and change at this time is that they have seen clearly the killing and determination hidden under the young woman on the stage, who is weak, thin, gentle and harmless!

The reason why common people, refugees, and beggars change color is either because of their revenge, or because their relatives are involved, or because...

On the stage, Chuning had a panoramic view of their behavior, expressions and expressions.Watching them cry, watching them laugh, and watching the hidden indifference and numbness.

Even though it is winter now, the decaying smell of death is still very strong. Chuning stood on the stage with clenched fists, looking at the audience, but vaguely, the audience's sadness and joy were intertwined, indifferent and numb His expression intertwined and changed, and finally, it vaguely changed into the face that was once so familiar to her.

Faintly, she seemed to hear that familiar voice, heard her sigh, heard her whisper: "Chuning, you have changed..."

Has it changed?

Yes, it has changed...

Chu Ning withdrew her gaze and looked at her hands. Even though she was extremely fair at this time, she knew that her hands had already turned blood red; she looked at the piled heads under the stands, and then looked at Chu Ning. Rou, look at Huo Yunshu, look at everyone in the stands...

Yes, I have changed, because I want to survive in this coming troubled world——Chuning said to herself silently in her heart, however, her eyes became a little loose, those things sometimes made her firm, and sometimes she struggled His moral integrity is constant, and he is fighting endlessly in his heart.

His slack eyes glanced over the living beings in the audience, and stayed on the snow-white and gorgeous carriage.

Bai Su!

She came here without making a sound? !

Chu Ning suddenly came back to her senses, only to realize that Liu Changgui had finished stacking the Beijing audience, and everyone in the audience calmed down a little. She coughed lightly, and said again: "During several bloody battles, the relatives and righteous people of the school captain, regardless of personal Life and death, fighting the enemy bravely, in the bloody battle to wipe out the villains in Qinglongzhai and Blackbeard, a total of 470 people were killed in battle!"

"These 470 seven people were heroic and brave. With flesh and blood, they killed thieves and bandits, and protected the peace of our county! The school captain and the county lord discussed together and decided to engrave all their names on the 'hero tablet'. All the spirits will be placed in the 'Hall of Souls', so that they can enjoy the incense forever!"

After Chu Ning finished speaking, Chu Rou shouted loudly, "Salute to the army!"

All the guards present, including Chu Ning and Huo Yunshu, clenched their fists at the same time and put their hands on their chests.

"Libi!"

After Chu Rou yelled, she pulled out her waist knife with a 'shua' sound, and pointed the sharp blade obliquely at the sky. The four teams that originally lined up behind her to protect the flag immediately became two teams, and they lined up in front of the Hall of Valor.

At the same time, sobbing and sobbing came from the direction of the camp. As time passed, those cries and sobs got closer and louder. Women and children, they came holding the spirit tablets, weeping and wiping away their tears. Some of them fell to the ground and wailed as they walked, causing the audience to mourn.

Both Jia Pei and Chen Fu were mixed in the crowd. Jia Pei originally brought his manpower to fan the atmosphere for Chuning at the critical moment, but he didn't expect that he was completely useless.

Chen Fu was arranged by Chuning to be responsible for the safety of the audience. She was worried that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble, so she secretly ambushed some people.

Fortunately, things went very smoothly, and almost nothing happened. Standing in the crowd, Chen Fu clearly saw the scenes on and off the stage and remembered them in his heart.

He saw that after the ceremony was over, when the spiritual tablets were being sent into the Hall of the Souls, Chu Ning and Huo Yunshu clenched their fists in front of their chests at the same time, leaned slightly, and did not raise their heads until all the spiritual tablets were sent in.

He saw the county venerable Wang Yi, when the spiritual tablets were sent into the Hall of Valor, he bowed his hands and bowed, and he didn't straighten up until all the spiritual tablets were sent in.

He also saw that the people watching from the audience, from the very beginning of sarcasm, dismissive, mourning, indifference and numbness... until the end, all the people present spontaneously turned towards the monument of heroes, towards the heroic soul Ancestral hall, bend down respectfully to worship.

"Before this, they were all refugees and bandits... But now, they have all become heroes, and the captain is the one who can make bandits become heroes too... So, following such an adult , even if you die, you won't be wronged..."

As if suddenly, Chen Fu's eyes were filled with tears. He looked at the flying cloak of the captain on the stage, looked at the blue "Chu" flag, and said secretly in his heart.

Most of them are bandits, and most of them are ordinary farmers. If they hadn't been driven to nowhere, who would have left their stable life?

Regardless of whether they were farmers, refugees, or beggars... they seldom get respect from other people. Even if they became bandits, in every village, people often starve to death, died of illness, or were killed... the better ones , wrapped in a straw mat, dug a hole and buried, almost threw it directly in the wilderness, let the wild dogs eat it, died here, there is a coffin, a memorial tablet, a tombstone, and... the respected The name of the hero.

In that gorgeous and snow-white carriage, Bai Su and Feng Jiuqing, where no one could see, also clasped their fists together, showing respect from the bottom of their hearts.

"Junior Sister, are they really heroes?"

But after bowing down, Feng Jiuqing looked at the hero monument standing between the sky and the earth through the car window, with a somewhat confused and uncertain expression on his face. After all, the blood-soaked people behind these people In the past, it was far from the heroes she had heard and seen.

Bai Su also looked at the boulder that Chuning gave the name of the Hero Monument, as if gazing at it, and as if thinking about it. After a full ten breaths, she just said: "In some ways, when they summon up courage, Holding a spear/spear against the pirates in a bloody battle, they are heroes."

After just one sentence, there was a deep silence between the two, only the voice brought by the wind was intermittent.

"I know that no matter who it is, they will be afraid of death, because there is only one human life, how precious..."

"But in fact, fear of death can't solve anything... Fear of death can't scare away bandits, drive away pirates, and can't protect your family..."

"The more you fear death, the more vicious bandits and pirates will be. They will rush into your home, rob your family of food and wealth, and hurt your relatives..."

"But many people, because they are afraid of death, endure humiliation and steal their lives. They would rather be reduced to the background and leave their hometowns and become refugees, and they would rather become beggars on their knees begging for food than stand up and avenge themselves and their loved ones..."

"I know why you don't resist, why don't you take revenge, because you are afraid of death! You think you are weak, and you think you can't take revenge!"

"Those thieves will think, anyway, if they rob you of food, wealth, and women, you will only cry and beg for mercy, and you will not resist... If they don't rob you, who will they rob?"

"Yes! It's because you feel that you are weak! You feel that you can't avenge yourself, and you can't protect your relatives and friends! That's why they come to rob you again and again!"

"Because! Weakness is a sin!"

"Weakness! It's a serious crime that makes you feel miserable!"

……

Although the sound blown by the wind was intermittent, the two people in the carriage could still hear it clearly. Feng Jiuji looked at the crowd whose horses were gradually being fanned, and couldn't help laughing and said: "This is the master of Chu. Wei is really interesting, he dares to say what kind of words... and his actions are always so unexpected..."

"She can destroy all my plans in time every time." Bai Suyi looked at the agitated crowd, and couldn't help laughing, but she was used to being cold, even if she smiled, it was just a slight smile on her lips. Moving, hooking and drawing a slight arc.
