C29 (2/2)
As he finished speaking, Kong Sheng's voice and emotions had already started to rise, but the Chen Chu sitting opposite of him still had that cold face of his, neither sad nor happy, and was indifferent. After a long while, Chen Chu put down the roasted chicken in his hand, sucked in a few times with his oily fingers, then held onto the wine bottle as he staggered back to Grassland.
Qu Feizhi walked over, extended his hand, grabbed the elbow and took a bite, then said unclearly: ”Lord Kong, you have to give him some time right? It would be inappropriate for him to come up and expose the other party's true identity, forcing them to express their stance. ”
Kong Sheng rolled his eyes at him: ”Why are you everywhere? Are you making up with him? ”
Qu Feizhi used the wine to wash the meat in his mouth, and laughed: ”Let's use the art of fighting. Although there are differences, but the goal is the same. Although I am at odds with Big Brother Chen on some tactical ideas, but overall, everyone's goal is the same. What did that say? To seek the same! ”Right, seek common ground!”
Kong Sheng shook his head helplessly. Although he felt a little uncomfortable being coldly rejected by Chen Chu, more or less, but seeing that their relationship had improved, especially when the two of them had nothing better to do, and even discussed some military tactics, his heart was rather pleased. Although Chen Chu seemed to have a bad personality at the moment, he was very decisive in using weapons, and was very calm in everything he did, especially his insight. If Qu Feizhi could receive a bit of advice from him, it would definitely benefit him in the future battles. The only downside was that Qu Feizhi seemed to have learnt Chen Chu's venomous tongue from him, but he did not learn nimbly, turning into a cunning person.
Since Chen Chu was being so protective, Qu Feizhi did not force him. After drinking with Qu Feizhi for a while, he kept the meat and wine in the box, then stood up and left. Chen Chu's words still made sense. Chen Chu's knot in his heart and his secrets were not hidden for a day or two, rather, it had been depressed on him for the past two years. It was simply impossible for him to open his heart just because he needed to eat a meal.
Thinking to this point, Kong Sheng lifted his head to look at the sky, and silently said in his heart, ”Two years, you have already left me for two years. How are you and our child? ”
Every day after that, Kong Sheng would carry the meat and wine to find Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi. He did not mention anything about asking Chen Chu to write a book for Huo Yanrann at all. He only pulled two people to discuss battle examples, analyze the gains and losses, and research whether there were any better tactics to deal with them. This situation was exactly the same as when Kong Sheng was in school, and Kong Sheng couldn't help but sigh emotionally in his heart. Chen Chu also seemed to be affected, from ignoring him at the beginning to occasionally interrupting him, to fighting with Kong Sheng till his face and neck turned red, as if he had returned back to his days as a military academy.
Chen Chu was not afraid of his identity as a prisoner, and Kong Sheng did not use his position to pressure him either. No matter how loud the argument became, in the end, it would be ”a cup of wine to vent our grudges”. After drinking a cup of wine, everything would be fine.
The more they interact, the more Kong Sheng felt that this Chen Chu could be considered a genius in tactics. This person's way of thinking was very clear. He had to consider different aspects of the problem, especially the word ”destined”. It was no different from farting. As long as he felt that he could reverse the situation on the battlefield, or ”get something” out of the way, he could definitely throw any orders aside and wholeheartedly follow his own thoughts. This action of his caused Kong Sheng to both love and hate him. He loved his tactics, his sharp eyes, his ability to find the key point that would change the entire situation on the battlefield, and his ability to deal with the enemy in one move. In his eyes, the battlefield was like a game of chess. Everything was a pawn that could be thrown away.
However, Kong Sheng's attitude had changed. After being taught a lesson by Shi Keren, he was no longer angry at Chen Chu's words and actions, but more concerned with how to display Chen Chu's personality on the battlefield. He was like a sharp double-edged sword, injuring one thousand enemies and damaging himself eight hundred times. If he didn't use it well, then the consequences could be imagined.
This ”conversation with the barn” that Kong Sheng had lasted for ten days. Fortunately, he hadn't had anything to do with him these days, so it was rare for him to have such free time. He could generalize it throughout the entire northern battle zone, or at least use Phoenix City Pass as a test case. After leaving the military academy, many officers would have little contact with actual combat. Their tactical theory would remain at the same level as when they were studying in military academy. If this form could be popularized and utilized well, it would be of great help to the old officer's theoretical complement and the new officer's accumulated combat experience.
But when Kong Sheng excitedly went to find Shi Keren to discuss this matter, Shi Keren gave him a good beating first.
Before Kong Sheng could speak to Shi Keren, old commander had already thrown him a letter, and said with a gloomy face: ”Take a look first.”
The envelope had already been opened. Kong Sheng took out the letter from inside, took a look at it, and then sat down on the sofa. The thin piece of paper only had one line written on it, ”Reportedly, Lady Xiu’er will execute the Sword of Truth in one month's time.”
Right at that moment, the image of Xiu'er and Ye Qing once again surged into Kong Sheng's mind like the raging waves of the ocean. He sat there, and looked at Shi Keren helplessly.
Shi Keren said softly, ”I have always had people in the capital watching this matter. I had thought that Your Majesty was just throwing a tantrum. ”Who would've thought …”
”Teacher ~ ~ Teacher ~ ~ I ~ ~” Kong Sheng's voice was choked with sobs. After being busy for more than a month, he thought he could put down Xiu'er, but when he saw this letter, he felt that he couldn't do it. It was difficult for him to describe his feelings towards this young lady, whom he had not known for long, Xiu'er. He only felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to her.
Shi Keren let out a long sigh, ”I know, you still can't let it go. I went to find Zhao Handong a few days ago and he also told me about the matter between you, Ye Qing and this lady. Speaking to here, old commander pointed to outside the door: ”Go, outside of Castellan Mansion, I have already prepared some horse fart and rations for you. ”Remember to go and return quickly.”
Kong Sheng kneeled on the ground and kowtowed three times to Shi Keren.
”Forget it, my home country is in the world, where does your home come from? And where did this world come from? ” Shi Keren reached out to help Kong Sheng up, then picked up two envelopes and gave them to him, ”Here, one is a clearing disk, and the other is a letter to Vice Marshal Zhan.
Kong Sheng took the two letters and bowed deeply towards Shi Keren once again. Then, he turned and walked out of the door with big strides.
Earlier, he had saved the lives of the citizens of the Phoenix City Pass Army. Now, he had to go save a girl who had saved his life before, even if the one in front of him was the current Her Majesty.
