My years as a soldier

"Hu Jiuzhang, who are you?"

Lu Sheng's brows were tightened, and there was still deep resentment in his eyes.

Hu Jiuzhang was taken aback by his words.No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why Lu Sheng had gone crazy, and he was caught here suddenly just to ask such questions.

"I... I am Tang Bing."

When Hu Jiuzhang was confused, his eyes were still blank.For a moment, he even wondered if Lu Sheng regarded him as a spy sent by the enemy.

Hu Jiuzhang answered honestly, but Lu Sheng smacked his lips in disgust.

"Let me ask you, how did you meet Mr. Li? Where and when!"

"This……"

Hu Jiuzhang was even more stunned, but when he saw Lu Sheng mentioning Li Muyun, he still had the idiot on his face, at least on Li Muyun's side, he was relieved, so he calmly spoke.

"In Chang'an, just... last autumn."

"Last autumn? You've only known each other for less than a year?" Lu Sheng felt even more jealous when he heard this.Obviously, Hu Jiuzhang was not Li Muyun's retainer who had followed him since he was a child, but how could such a person be called the dignified Prince Su's son, so determined?

The more Lu Sheng thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt.He thought his refusal was just a matter of first come, first served.But now it seems that Hu Jiuzhang is not much earlier than him.But in a few months, could it be that my identity, background, status and ability are really inferior to this little soldier who has lost his legs?

"How do you know him, tell me in detail!"

Lu Sheng's tone turned into a persuasive question.The more Hu Jiuzhang looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.He looked straight at Lu Sheng's increasingly ferocious face, his brows could not help but frown, showing a little bit of anger.

Although Lu Sheng is a general and has a higher military rank than him, even so, a general has no right to arrest wounded soldiers for interrogation without any evidence of crime.

Besides, why did Lu Sheng suddenly ask these inexplicable questions?

Hu Jiuzhang thought that if Lu Sheng really arrested him because he suspected that he was collaborating with the enemy, then he would never have such intense personal emotions.Lu Sheng's behavior must be because he has strong dissatisfaction with Hu Jiuzhang himself.

Lu Sheng...Lu Sheng...

Hu Jiuzhang squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then he had a clue.

Asking about things related to Xiaobai over and over again, this guy... isn't he jealous?

Hu Jiuzhang's gaze met Lu Sheng's burning eyes again.

"General Lu, are you interrogating me?"

Although Hu Jiuzhang was lying on a stretcher, his momentum was not weaker than Lu Sheng's at all.There was no fear in him, but Lu Sheng, who seemed to be out of control.

"Even if it's an interrogation, what can you do?" Lu Sheng probably didn't expect Hu Jiuzhang to ask him back. After a moment of surprise, he subconsciously glanced at the torture equipment on the wooden frame behind him, and his heart seemed to be more determined.

"Hu Jiuzhang, you are a soldier, and a soldier must obey orders." Lu Sheng said, with a cunning flash in his eyes, "Give me an honest account, otherwise...you will feel better!"

"Heh... Tell me about this? General Lu, are you a young girl Sichun? You want to hear people talk about your past."

Hu Jiuzhang teased him indifferently, but Lu Sheng was obviously blown away by his words. I'm afraid he might not be able to show his furious appearance even on the battlefield.

Lu Sheng was trembling with anger.Love is the easiest thing to drive people into madness, and at this moment, he has forgotten his identity and responsibility as a general, and instead seems to be a young child who has been deprived of his beloved, falling into deep unwillingness and anger.

Lu Sheng turned around and pulled out a half-foot-long iron needle from the wooden frame. With dark eyes, he held the needle in his hand with slightly trembling fingers.

"Do you know what this thing is for?"

"General Lu, if you lynch me here, do you know what the consequences will be? Is the military discipline of the Longyou Army so lax? A mere general dares to break the rules like this!"

Hu Jiuzhang couldn't help raising his voice.Of course he was in a hurry.His hands were tied and his legs were missing.He could only lie on a stretcher, unable to even turn over.But from what Lu Sheng looked like, it didn't seem like he was talking casually.If he was really stabbed with such a thick long needle, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured!

Seeing that the army will leave the customs tomorrow, it is still unknown where he and Li Muyun will go.Hu Jiuzhang didn't want to add any burden to Li Muyun at this time.He couldn't hurt anymore, not at all—

"A mere mere general? His status is much higher than yours!"

Lu Sheng almost roared, pouring out the words.People in the army have loud voices, but his face-to-face roar almost knocked Hu Jiuzhang out of his head.When Lu Sheng's voice fell, Hu Jiuzhang's mind was still buzzing.

Goodbye to Lu Sheng, he obviously couldn't stand a small soldier saying such disrespectful words to his noble-born self, so he clenched his fist, and the iron needle in his hand also stood upright, crossing his fist, Forming a right angle, facing Hu Jiuzhang's chest.

Seeing Lu Sheng put on this posture, Hu Jiuzhang couldn't even take a breath of air-conditioning.His body was already drenched in cold sweat, and the real sense of oppression was getting closer.

"Hey - wait!"

Hu Jiuzhang shouted suddenly.

As for Lu Sheng's actions, he paused accordingly.

"Don't you just want to know about my relationship with Mr. Li? Is it okay if I tell you? We met in Chang'an last autumn. I was framed by the servants of King Su's mansion in Chang'an County. Mr. Li saw that I was pitiful, so he came to help .That's how we met, tell me, what else do you want to hear?"

Hu Jiuzhang thought he had answered truthfully, but Lu Sheng sneered at him.

"Do you think I'm a fool? Will he take the initiative to help you? You deserve it too!"

Lu Sheng smacked his lips, turned his head to look at the long needle in his hand, a sneer suddenly flashed from the corner of his mouth, and grabbed Hu Jiuzhang's tied hands in front of him.

"Huh... no legs, but I think your hands are not bad."

As he spoke, he actually took out one of Hu Jiuzhang's fingers, pulled that finger, and sent it towards the long needle held in his other hand.

Hu Jiuzhang was trying his best to pull with Lu Sheng's strength from the moment his hands were caught, but he was lying on the ground and couldn't use his strength. Lu Sheng, a young man who was younger and much healthier than him, If you really want to fight hard, he is no match.Seeing that the index finger of his left hand was about to be sent under the steel needle.

Hu Jiuzhang's whole body was soaked in sweat.Half of it was because of exertion, the tired man, and the other half was cold sweat.But Lu Sheng didn't intend to stop.Even though Hu Jiuzhang's pulled finger was still trying his best to resist him, Lu Sheng's strength became stronger instead.He bent down, looked at the tip of Hu Jiuzhang's finger, brought the needle tip closer, found the right angle, and inserted it into the nail crevice of that finger.

"Ahhh-"

Hu Jiuzhang couldn't stop moaning in pain, but Lu Sheng's strength was even greater. With a sudden force, he picked off the nail on Hu Jiuzhang's finger with a steel needle.

Blood flowed out from under the nail that was picked off in an instant, staining his fingers red, and Hu Jiuzhang's body was trembling because of the pain, but his hand was still held by Lu Sheng, unable to move.

"Lu Sheng...you...why..."

Hu Jiuzhang was puzzled.He was very puzzled.He knew that Lu Sheng liked Li Muyun, but he never thought that a military general from a famous family would actually do such a despicable act for his own personal affection at the moment of this big battle.

Hu Jiuzhang couldn't understand Lu Sheng, and Lu Sheng couldn't understand Hu Jiuzhang.

Why this man, why is he able to get Li Muyun?Could it be that I can't even compare with a soldier?Why didn't Li Muyun take a few more glances at himself?Obviously helped him so much, without asking for anything in return... always helping him, caring about him... why, why, why?

Why doesn't he like me...why can he say so firmly that he doesn't like me?

Lu Sheng couldn't help feeling sad, and at this moment of grief and anger, he became more and more indifferent to Hu Jiuzhang.He had already regarded Hu Jiuzhang as an outlet to vent his grief, let go of the blood-stained finger, and then went to pull his adjacent fingertips.

"Hu Jiuzhang, you have to take responsibility."

Lu Sheng spoke in a dark voice, but just as he was about to insert the steel needle into Hu Jiuzhang's second finger, the felt cloth in front of the small tent was suddenly lifted.

A ray of light came in directly from the outside, and the two people in the tent narrowed their eyes reflexively at that moment.

"General Lu!"

A dull cry broke the tense atmosphere in the room.Hu Jiuzhang turned his head to the side of the outdoor light with difficulty, even he himself couldn't believe his eyes.It was actually Gan Ruoshan who opened the door curtain.

"You... what are you doing here!"

Lu Sheng was frightened by the sudden intrusion.The long needle slipped from his hand. Obviously, he also knew that it was against military regulations for him to abuse the sergeant like this.But for a moment, Lu Sheng's reaction was still furious, and he yelled at Gan Ruoshan.

"I told you to watch the door outside, not to let you break in casually!"

Lu Sheng hastily let go of Hu Jiuzhang's fingers and stood up from the ground.

The blood dripping from Hu Jiuzhang's fingers dripped onto his clothes.Lu Sheng subconsciously swept his clothes twice with his hands, but the blood stains were wiped more conspicuously than before.

Looking at Gan Ruoshan in front of the door, he was motionless, standing firmly on the spot, his unattractive square face was occupied by disgust.

"General Lu, you tortured wounded soldiers in private, isn't that against the rules?"

Gan Ruoshan's words were devoid of emotion, as if they were spit out from the mouth of a wooden man.But when he said this, his expression was extremely serious. Everyone could see that since he had the courage to break in, he would not easily back out.

Originally, Hu Jiuzhang hated Gan Ruoshan's square face to the extreme.But looking at it now, such an unattractive face made Hu Jiuzhang want to exclaim.He almost completely changed his view of Gan Ruoshan at that moment.

"It's not your turn to take care of this!"

Although Lu Sheng was already guilty, but if you really think about it, neither Gan Ruoshan nor Hu Jiuzhang were people who could decide life and death at will.Both of these two were brigade commanders, and none of them worked for him under his command.

"I don't care about General Lu's affairs, but our army will leave the customs early tomorrow morning. General Lu's behavior at this time, spreading the word... I'm afraid it will hurt the morale of our soldiers!"

Gan Ruoshan refused to let go.With his back to the sunlight, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of gray and blue. It was obviously a lifeless face, but Hu Jiuzhang was particularly excited to see it.

"you--"

Lu Sheng was also overwhelmed by Gan Ruoshan's unshakable attitude. He pointed at Gan Ruoshan, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

The two remained in a stalemate for a few seconds.

Finally, it was Gan Ruoshan who spoke first.

"Gan doesn't want to hurt the morale of our army. I can pretend I didn't see what happened here, but General Lu, you've already wasted a lot of time here. Isn't it good to keep wasting it like this?"

Gan Ruoshan took the initiative to take a step back, and after a few seconds of stalemate, Lu Sheng gradually recovered from the previous hysterical mood.

With a dark and blue complexion, he quickly walked around Hu Jiuzhang, and walked towards the door. Before he left, he did not forget to threaten Gan Ruoshan one last time.

"Don't forget what you said. You have to completely forget what happened today, otherwise...don't blame me for being rude."

Lu Sheng disappeared outside the door in a blink of an eye, and it wasn't until Lu Sheng walked away that Gan Ruoshan let out a long breath of relief, put down the heavy curtain beside him, and stepped into the tent.

The light in the small tent is dim, and even if there are two candlesticks for lighting, the brightness cannot be compared with the sunlight outside.

Gan Ruoshan breathed a sigh of relief, and Hu Jiuzhang even let out a long sigh of relief.His forehead was already soaked with sweat, and his face turned pale from the pain.

"Old Gan...I really didn't expect that it was you who came to save me."

Hu Jiuzhang was very emotional, how much he hated Gan Ruoshan before, but now, he is so grateful to him.

"Humph……"

Gan Ruoshan looked down at Hu Jiuzhang, but his eyes were still as contemptuous as before.

"I didn't break in here to save you. I just can't stand it. Some people in the army don't obey military rules and openly violate discipline! Besides..."

Gan Ruoshan glanced at Hu Jiuzhang's amputated legs, and his expression became a little gloomy.

"Besides, in the defense of the city that day, who knew you were so vulnerable..."
