Part-time swordsman working part-time [Interstellar]

"It's okay, I'm still here."

This is the last day in the pass, and it is also the last rest day for the newly recruited northern army.

The Beiyue Pass is close at hand, and the towering mountains are stretching, which is the natural barrier of the Central Plains.Its high place goes straight into the clouds, and you can't see the continuous ridge when you look up. In winter, the mountain is covered by heavy snow, and even the hunters who are most familiar with the terrain dare not enter.

The military camp is located at the foot of the mountain.

The army arrived more than three days earlier than expected, and before sunset, it was almost settled, and only fragmentary work was left to do.The big wooden boxes used as tables and chairs were placed in a circle, and a bonfire was lit in the middle. The cook had slaughtered the last few pigs and was cleaning them, ready to be put on the grill.

If there is a "first time" or "last time" in everything, the value will be higher for nothing.This dinner was much richer than usual. The preserved pickles and animals that could not be brought into the mountains were all used to prepare the dishes, which made a bunch of people slobbering, distracted while working, and chatting with each other until they were full of food. .

Seeing this, Gu Duo said, "You're all hungry, right? Then finish packing quickly and eat early."

The phrase "serve dinner in advance" is more effective than anything else, and those thoughts that flew out just now flew back quickly.

Crossing the pass is an important stage in the march. The more important it is, the more it is like the night before dawn, which is a bit difficult to bear.

One is that every time I come here, the melancholy of leaving home is particularly disturbing.After all, the next step is to step out of the Central Plains. In the eyes of many people, if they never return, they will die in a foreign land.

The second is to mention "passing the border", which means that the first marching stage has been completed. "Finishing such and such" is always associated with "you can rest", which is easy to make people tired.

Usually when going out to fight, no matter whether you pass through Beiyue Pass or Xiayu Pass in the south, on the eve of leaving the pass, Yu Zhihong will arrange double the number of people to watch the night, and station for a day for military drills, so as to enter the combat state as soon as possible and gather people's hearts.

He is rigorous in running the army, has a stable military style, and feels as safe as a rock. He is the most reliable general.

But the new northern army can't go this way, Gu Duo has no military merits, so he can't hold back, and because of his temperament, his style is also more flexible.He was able to congenial with most of the people, and the soldiers were willing to listen to him. In addition, Yu Zhihong was in charge of the battle. After working together all the way so far, he had found a way to get along.

Although it cannot be ordered and prohibited, the efficiency of the newly recruited Northern Army is higher, and it also makes people feel more belonging.

At this moment, everyone's sense of belonging can well dilute the nostalgia of leaving home. In addition to the confusion of life and death, there is also the happiness of "being able to chat with the brothers tomorrow".

After it was completely settled, the cook started to roast the meat, and a smoke wafted up, announcing the beginning of the rest.

While it was still dark and there were only three rounds of drinking, Gu Duo took the time to say a few toasts, then visited the cooks who were still cooking, and then went to Yu Zhihong to ask for the previous wine.

He originally said he would not bring Wang Yu, but when he arrived at Yu Zhihong's tent, not only Wang Yu was there, but also Zhang Quan and Zhou Zhishan.I don't know when I added some more wine, enough for everyone to drink.

These few people were chatting, before Gu Duo could sit down, Zhou Zhishan suddenly said: "My lord, it's lively outside, I suddenly want to go and have a look. Can I say goodbye first?"

As he spoke, he winked, and Wang Yu and Zhang Quan also wanted to leave.Yu Zhihong didn't force him to stay, so he agreed with a nod.

Gu Duo wondered, "Why are you leaving as soon as I come here, aren't you here to drink?"

Zhou Zhishan smiled and said, "Alcohol is for drinking, but I have to go out to drink. I'm full of stories today, so I don't dare to make a mistake here."

Zhou Zhishan may have been a storyteller in his previous life, and when he drank too much, he would return to his old profession and pull others to tell stories.Chatting across the past and the present, the stories are pleasant, and the stories are so eloquent.

When I get stuck, I can repeat a sentence [-] times over and over again—and I even pick the key plot cards!

Gu Duo immediately opened the door respectfully and insensitively, and hurriedly asked him to leave, to walk a little farther away, in case he ran back by mistake later.

Yu Zhihong put away the extra wine glasses, leaving only two.Gu Duo sat down automatically and consciously, picked up a jug of wine, and smelled it first: "Good wine!"

Yu Zhihong said: "Eat first, don't drink on an empty stomach."

Gu Duo didn't have the nerve to say that he just drank it outside on an empty stomach, and hurriedly picked up two mouthfuls of rice, only to find that the food was not bad, it was clearly similar in color, but the taste was much better than what everyone ate: "Did you open A small stove, the cook is eccentric."

Yu Zhihong said, "I did it."

Gu Duo was so surprised that he almost dropped his chopsticks: "You can also cook!"

I've been out and about for a long time, especially in the frontier, even if you are a prince, there are always times when people around you can't take care of you.Yu Zhihong knew some trivial things like cooking and mending.He nodded slightly, paused, and said the invitation: "If you like to eat, you can come to me when you are free."

Gu Duo was flattered and said, "Then I won't be too polite," but he thought in his heart: "You can't be too rude. I don't know who I look like? I'm so lucky, and I can eat and drink."

Gu Duo sneaked a glance at the wine after taking a bite of his meal.Yu Zhihong opened the altar to pour wine, both laughing and laughing, and poured out two glasses.

Gu Duo immediately put down his chopsticks, and followed the smell of wine: "I respect you?"

Yu Zhihong did not touch his wine glass: "There is no need to be formal, just casual."

What Gu Duo is best at is "casual".After three cups and two cups, the feeling of drinking began, and those joys, sorrows, and things in my heart ran out one by one.

He said: "Hey, if I didn't fight a good battle, wouldn't it be... a lot of people would die?"

If you say this to others, you will definitely get comfort.Wang Yu would worry about it with him, Zhang Quanhui said it was fine, and we all lived and died together, Zhou Zhishan didn't know how to fight, so he probably wanted to change the topic and talk about something else.

Yu Zhihong was not the same, he said, "Yes. Are you flustered?"

"Of course." Gu Duo said honestly, "I was so panicked that I started to dream."

Yu Zhihong asked: "Since there is no bottom line, why don't you hurry up to train soldiers and let them have fun?"

Gu Duo sipped another drink to himself: "I just thought, when I go back, there must not be as many people as there are now. While everyone is here, let's get together more."

These words are really unreliable, Gu Duo is conscious of being taught a lesson.But Yu Zhihong just nodded, and said in a low voice, "It makes sense. It's okay, I'm still here."

Gu Duo has been anxious since he saw the Tang Qi placed by King Rui, until he heard this sentence, it seemed that someone was suddenly catching it.He was stunned for a while, but he didn't know what to do. He looked around and poured wine for Yu Zhihong.

Yu Zhihong continued: "You can fight for your life on the battlefield. You can be inexperienced, but you can't be courageous. You just need to remember that swords have no eyes, and it's easier to save your life if you go straight head-on than turn around and run away."

Gu Duo said: "Run away but absolutely not, come here, even if you let me run, I will—"

Before Gu Duo finished speaking, Yu Zhihong raised his glass to him suddenly, interrupting the last sentence: "It's been a hard journey."

"Ah? Oh, it's okay." Gu Duo's tongue almost couldn't get around it, "This journey is quite interesting. You—hello? Yu Zhihong?"

Seeing that Yu Zhihong drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, for some reason, his expression suddenly froze, and he looked over like a torch.

Gu Duo: "?"

The next moment, Yu Zhihong fell straight down.

Gu Duo: "??"
