Ten years ago, 16-year-old Qi Lie joined the army.

Back then, he was an unknown little soldier who picked up Li Wenyan in the grass.

When Li Wenyan was 13 years old, his parents died in a plague. He survived, but lived a life of begging until he met Qi Lie two years later.

On a scorching summer day, Li Wenyan was walking in the mountains looking for water, but lost his way. As a result, he couldn't find the water or the road, and finally collapsed in the grass due to exhaustion.

Just when he thought he would die like this, a pair of hands gently dragged him up, and then water was slowly fed into his mouth. As if he saw the light of life-saving, he grabbed the water bottle and poured it vigorously, and finally put himself Choking to death, the hand that held him up patted him on the back again.

It wasn't until he finally recovered that he saw who was coming.

He is a handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Qi Lie took him back to the army and met the then chief general, Huang Zhengde, General Huang. General Huang was generous, and under Qi Lie's plea, he accepted Li Wenyan as a soldier.

Since then, Li Wenyan has been able to eat and clothe himself warmly, ending his begging life of being homeless and sleeping in the open.

Qi Lie took Li Wenyan to practice kung fu, read and write every day, and drank and chatted together in his spare time.

Luo Hongsheng joined the army a year later, and was about the same age as them. He was intelligent, quick-witted, and very playful. Before joining the army, he was a mess.

When he arrived in the army, he was restless, often sneaking out to play, and was arrested several times. Even though General Huang was kind, he was angry and issued a death order. If he was arrested again, he would be dismissed from the army.

Luo Hongsheng was shocked, but after only a month of silence, he began to restless again.

Late that night, when he sneaked out again and came back over the wall, he was discovered by patrolling soldiers. He slipped along the wall, but the soldier pursued him persistently. Li Wenyan was drinking and chatting with Qi Lie.

In a panic, he grabbed Qi Lie and looked at him eagerly: "I recognize you! Qi Lie! General Huang always praises you!"

Qi Lie was taken aback by being caught, and soon recognized him: "I recognize you too! Luo Hongsheng who is often punished!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"Help me!" Luo Hongsheng laughed and grabbed Qi Lie and dangled, "If I get caught again, I'm done!"

"This...isn't that good..." Li Wenyan hesitated.

Qi Lie didn't think much about it, and said, "Hurry up and go! I'll bear it!"

"Ariel!" Li Wenyan paused for a while, "I'll come, you go, you are an excellent soldier in the eyes of General Huang, if you make a mistake, it will affect your assessment!"

Qi Lie pushed them away, saying: "Go, go! If you don't go, the three of us won't be able to get away!"

The footsteps of the soldiers were getting closer and closer, and no one would be able to leave if there was any delay. Li Wenyan had no choice but to take Luo Hongsheng away first.

While running, Luo Hongsheng said, "I'll thank you tomorrow!"

As soon as they turned the corner, the soldiers caught up. Qi Lie tried to run away, but was caught by the soldiers.

"Qi Lie?" The soldier looked suspiciously at the excellent soldier General Huang was talking about.

"Brother, good evening." Qi Lie greeted.

"Just now..." The soldier hesitated, "You were the one who climbed over the wall?"

"Yes." Qi Lie replied decisively.

In the end, Qi Lie was punished for Luo Hongsheng. Since it was his first offense, the punishment was not heavy, only ten days of confinement. However, General Huang was very angry. After all, the person he had always been optimistic about would make such a mistake.

In the evening of the next day, Qi Lie was locked up in his room, and Luo Hongsheng really came to see him with his bags.

Li Wenyan also came together, they avoided people and sneaked into the room.

Luo Hongsheng put the big and small bags on the table, knelt down and bowed to Qi Lie, and said, "Thank you brother Qi for saving me, and keeping my military status for me! The great kindness Luo will never forget in this life!"

Qi Lie quickly helped him up, and said, "It's a little effort, but you have to promise me that you will not violate the military rules again."

Luo Hongsheng nodded, and from then on, the two-person team became a three-person team.

In the past when there were only Qi Lie and Li Wenyan, they played chess and drank wine at most in their spare time or vacation. Since Luo Hongsheng joined them, their vacation life has become much richer.

Luo Hongsheng used to hang out by himself, but now he brings them along to hang out, and he has a lot of fun.

Going up trees and down rivers, digging out bird eggs, catching fish, poking hornet's nests, whatever exciting games, Luo Hongsheng also took them to places they had never been to before, such as gambling houses and flower houses.

Fortunately, Qi Lie is a stable person, knows how to restrain himself, and can control when he is playing crazy. Qi Lie stipulates that when he goes to the gambling house, he can only play so much money. If he loses everything, he must leave. If he wins, it's time You must go, and you must not gamble; when you go to Hualou, you can only drink, watch dances, listen to music, and other things, you must not go one step further; when you go out to play and watch the vacation time determine the distance, you must go back when the time comes, and When training, you must train hard. If anyone has not learned something and practiced well, he is not allowed to go out to play during the month's holiday. I will accompany him to learn and practice until he is good.

Under Qi Lie's control, while they had fun, they never had any major troubles, and they didn't delay their training at all.

One day in hot summer, the three of them were on their way back to the military camp. Because they forgot to bring water, everyone was extremely thirsty. At this time, they happened to pass a watermelon field. They searched for a long time, but they did not see the farmer.

"Why don't we get one to quench our thirst first?" Luo Hongsheng said.

"Not good, not good." Qi Lie frowned, "You don't ask to take it yourself, but it's stealing."

"Yes." Li Wenyan also said, "It's not easy for others to grow watermelons."

Luo Hongsheng pondered for a while, and said: "In this way, let's eat first and wait while we eat. Maybe the master will come over later. If we haven't come after we finish eating, we will find time to give the money to others. Just make up for it.”

The watermelon field was still some distance away from the barracks. They had been playing wildly for a day and walked a lot. The sun on the west mountain made them dizzy. The three of them were really hot, tired and thirsty.

After some ideological struggle, Qi Lie said: "All right, let's make an exception once. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the barracks."

So Qi Lie cut the melon with his saber, and the thirsty three started to gobble up two big watermelons in a row.

The watermelons in this family are big, sweet, and have a lot of water. After eating two melons, they still feel that they are still not satisfied. The three of them made a total calculation and decided to open another small melon.

"Who! How dare you steal someone's watermelon!"

They had just cut open the melon, when they suddenly heard a loud shout, the three guilty of treachery dropped the melon in their hands and ran away. After all, they were soldiers, ordinary farmers would not be able to catch up with them until they ran for several miles, Qi Lie Only then did he realize something, and suddenly stopped with a sudden brake.

"Wait, aren't we just waiting for someone to come and ask for money? What are you running for?"

Luo Hongsheng and Li Wenyan were dumbfounded when they heard this, but after a while, all three of them came to their senses, and immediately laughed out loud, until they couldn't help but staggered and fell to the ground.

When everyone managed to slow down, the sunset had almost faded to its last gleam, Qi Lie led them back to the watermelon field, the farmer probably got scared, moved a stool, and sat on the edge of the field without leaving.

The three of them explained the whole story to the farmer, compensated the crime and paid the money, and admitted their mistakes with great sincerity.

They chatted with the farmer for a while, and when the farmer learned that they were members of the army, he immediately warmed up, saying that his son was also a soldier, and it was not easy to defend the family and the country, so he insisted on giving them two more watermelons. Let them wait, and bring them a few jars of good wine when they go home, but they can't refuse, so they have to agree.

In the end, the three returned with a full load. They shared the watermelon with the other brothers, leaving behind the three jars of home-brewed daughter red given to them by the farmer.

They opened it and smelled it. The aroma of the wine was rich and mellow, refreshing, completely different from those on the market. The three of them were reluctant to drink it, so they made some calculations together and came up with an idea.

They wrote the names of the three on the three jars of wine respectively, and then went to a crabapple tree in the military camp and dug a hole.

"It's settled." Qi Lie patted the wine jar, "Bury the wine today, whoever becomes the commander first will drink it first, whoever gets married first will drink first, whoever has children first will drink first Whose, you are not allowed to drink secretly during the period."

Luo Hongsheng said with a smile: "If none of us becomes the chief general, if no one gets married, and if no one has children, then what will we do with this wine?"

Li Wenyan also smiled and said: "Then save it for the next life, remember, when we cross the Naihe Bridge, don't drink that Mengpo soup, and remember to come to the wine appointment!"

Luo Hongsheng: "What if Po Meng refuses?"

Qi Lie put down a jar of wine, asked Yan to look up at them, and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? Whoever arrives first will wait there first, and when we all arrive, beat up that old lady Meng and see if she is willing." No!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

The three of them laughed in unison again.

The three of them buried the wine and sat under the crabapple tree to chat. The crabapple was in full bloom that year, and the petals fell with the wind, floating on the young man's hair, shoulders, and scattered on the soft ground. What was buried under the ground was Young men in fresh clothes and angry horses are full of joy and vigor.

That was the happiest time in Li Wenyan's life.

The person he is most grateful to is Qi Lie. Qi Lie saved his life, gave him enough food and clothing, the opportunity to study and practice, and the achievement of making meritorious deeds.

"If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't know the meaning of my life." Li Wenyan said.

These words suddenly plucked a chord in Xuxu's heart, and reverberated for a while.

He was a little tired from sitting just now, so he got up and went to the window to get some wind. Chi Weirong was still sitting with his back to him, and he turned to stare at Chi Weirong's back.

Chi Weirong, who was listening to Li Wenyan's speech, suddenly felt a little hot on the back of his neck. He touched it with his hand, but the heat didn't fade away, as if there were fiery eyes on him.

Chi Weirong's eyes moved slightly, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xuxu, only to see that he was looking at the scenery outside the window as if nothing had happened. Chi Weirong turned his head and continued to listen to Li Wenyan's speech, but it didn't take long for the heat to climb up again.

Chi Weirong: "..."

"Later, everything began to change." Li Wenyan continued after taking a sip of water.

Qi Lie was talented and intelligent, and he worked hard. Luo Hongsheng was also intelligent and flexible, and he could learn everything easily. Only Li Wenyan was not so intelligent. He could barely catch up with them only by working hard.

Under Qi Lie's urging, the three performed well and were promoted all the way. A few years later, Qi Lie and Luo Hongsheng became the left and right lieutenants respectively, and Li Wenyan also became a general.

It was at this time that the soldiers became a hot topic about who Qi Lie or Luo Hongsheng would be the chief general in the future.

In fact, most soldiers, including General Huang, are more optimistic about Qi Lie.Qi Lie is a steady man with outstanding abilities, and gets along well with the soldiers, so he can show his talents as a general; while Luo Hongsheng is capable, smart and intelligent, but he has lost a bit of calmness. For a full month.

At that time, General Huang had already stepped down and was about to retire and return to his hometown. The next chief general was basically whoever he recommended.Qi Lie is favored by all parties, and everyone agrees that he is the next general, so they always call him "General Qi" jokingly in private. Whenever Qi Lie hears someone calling him this way, he always waved his hands and said: " Don't talk nonsense about undecided matters." But others only thought he was modest and didn't listen, and they would still call it like this next time.

It was also from that time that Li Wenyan discovered that Luo Hongsheng had alienated them intentionally or unintentionally, but they were also busy as lieutenants and generals at that time, and they had less time to go outside to play, so they didn't care too much.

For a while, there were not so many things to do in the army, and they managed to sneak in and get the same vacation. Luo Hongsheng took them to his hometown to play on a whim.

Luo Hongsheng's hometown is indeed a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The three of them traveled around the mountains and rivers, drank and chatted, and had a good time.

One night, Luo Hongsheng hosted a banquet for the elders of the villagers, and his hair young Tang Qing was also there. Tang Qing was a beautiful Jiangnan woman with a beautiful face, fair skin, graceful words and deeds.

Luo Hongsheng was busy entertaining other guests, so he pushed Tang Qing to Qi Lie and the others to take care of him.

Tang Qing sat next to Qi Lie, smiling with lowered eyebrows, talking to him without saying a word, Qi Lie didn't dare to look directly at her, only stared at his own bowl shyly, and only occasionally picked up some food that she couldn't reach vegetable.

The two gradually relaxed, and the chat became more open and smooth, with occasional laughter echoing.When Luo Hongsheng came to this table to toast, he watched them talking and laughing happily, and was taken aback for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and toasted everyone politely.

That was the last time the three of them hung out together.

After Qi Lie returned to the barracks, he still maintained correspondence with Tang Qing, and they were together not long after.

In the end, General Huang really recommended Qi Lie. After he abdicated, Qi Lie successfully became the chief general. He promoted Li Wenyan as the left deputy general, and Luo Hongsheng was the right deputy general.

On the night when Qi Lie was conferred the throne, he wanted to take Li Wenyan and Luo Hong to open an altar, but he only found Li Wenyan and Luo Hongsheng, so he had to give up.

It wasn't long after sitting as the general, Qi Lie realized that something was wrong, the brothers who had been playing together before started to alienate him, including Li Wenyan and Luo Hongsheng, they were all respectful when they saw him, and they didn't dare to make more jokes.

He is no longer an unscrupulous, happy young man. The burden of the general is not easy. His frown is getting tighter and tighter. He often sits on the general's chair, touching the cold chair and meditating.

One day, Qi Lie came to find Li Wenyan, and when Li Wenyan saw him, he knelt down to salute, Qi Lie hurried forward to help him up, hesitantly said: "Wenyan, why...are you so estranged from me..."

Li Wenyan didn't dare to raise his head, and was silent for a while, before opening his mouth in a low voice: "Because...you are General Qi...the real General Qi."

Qi Lie pushed away the hand that was supporting him, staggered, and Li Wenyan quickly supported him.

"Ah... is General Qi okay?"

Qi Lie stabilized his mind, took his arm out of Li Wenyan's hand, turned around, and walked slowly towards the general's chair.

"You go." He said softly.

After Li Wenyan left, he was the only one left in the empty room. He sat back on the chair, stroked the armrest, and stared blankly into the distance.

"I can't go back, I can't go back..."

His only consolation was Tang Qing, who still talked to him all the time, and used her understanding and gentleness to resolve Qi Lie's depression and loneliness. Not long after, he married Tang Qing.

On the day Qi Lie and Tang Qing got married, only Li Wenyan came, and Luo Hongsheng disappeared again.

The daughter under the begonia, Hong, was still untouched.

Later, rumors began to spread in the army, saying that Qi Lie's position as chief general was unknown, and that he was forced by General Huang to recommend him, and if he didn't, he would be killed; It was snatched by him, all kinds of rumors were discussed for a while, and the morale of the army was a little unstable.

Qi Lie sensed that the atmosphere in the entire military camp was not right, and felt faintly uneasy. At that time, Tang Qing was already pregnant with a child. Qi Lie was afraid that she would be in danger, so he asked Li Wenyan to escort her to a separate hospital of his own for cleaning up. A close friend is by her side to take care of her.

After Tang Qing was sent away, the rumors intensified, and some people even began to protest that Qi Lie's official position should be dismissed, saying that he was not worthy of virtue.

At that time, the border was unstable, war could break out at any time, and the morale of the army was not stable. Qi Lie was worried day by day and could not sleep at night.Seeing Qi Lie like this, Li Wenyan felt uncomfortable, so he went to the doctor and gave him some tranquilizing medicine, and he finally slept better at night.

Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.

One night, there were no stars and moons in the sky, and the whole night was much more gloomy than usual, making people breathless.

That night, the raging fire engulfed Qi Lie's house, and the originally dark night was turned red by the light of the fire.

After everyone put out the fire with great difficulty, they found Qi Lie burned alive in the house.
