Chapter 351

After listening to this statement of Chifeng, Ning Yue can be called dumbfounded.

What's hidden under the mask of the conquering Empire marshal is not only his real face, but also his cowardly heart?

Even if it was said by the other party, and I heard the weak voice when I took off the mask just now, ningyue still couldn't believe it. But he also knows that Chifeng is not joking. In my impression, he has always been very serious and unsmiling.

"I know it's incredible for normal people to hear me say that. I still remember that when I first came back to my hometown after I became Marshal Xi, my childhood companions were very curious and came to see me. They wanted to know whether it was Chongming or whether I had been bullied all the time and really became Marshal empire. Of course, I have warned them not to say anything. "

Red Feng casually smile, in his palm, the cup of tea has been empty.

Ning Yue shrugged his shoulders and said, "can you ask me when you first put on your mask?"

"I'm afraid that's starting from the first time I joined the army. I don't know if you'd like to hear it."

"It's a great honor for me to hear the Grand Marshal of the Empire tell about his past. Wait a minute. I'll bring another pot of tea. "

After that, when Ning Yue jumped down the eaves and walked into the room, many people inside were already in the mood, laughing and talking loudly, which was very noisy. Some people may feel that the room is stuffy and they need to go out for air. Some seats are empty.

When he took a pot of tea from the valet, he noticed that Sima Haiwei was not in his seat. Moreover, Zhili is not even there. But he did not think much, holding the teapot back to the house, a jump fell on the red front side, help him fill the cup.

After sipping a sip of tea, Chi Feng said with a smile: "you know, the frontier of all countries has been not peaceful and there have been many wars. The various empires fought, either against the demons in the north or against the orcs in the West. In fact, in my father's generation, they were proud to join the army and wanted to defend their country. However, my father lost the election and had to go home to farm. So, he put hope on me. From my childhood, although I was a little cowardly, I was also infected by him and wanted to join the army to defend my country. It happens that there are retired uncles and uncles of his generation in the next few families. I also practiced sword with other friends when I was young. "

Ning Yue nodded and said, "then you go to join the army together. Are you all elected?"

"No, later, my father didn't let me go. Because several older brothers in the village went, half a year later, a sum of pension was sent back to the village. At the same time, there were some blood clothes. They all died in the war. After that time, my father no longer mentioned joining the army, and he no longer allowed me to practice sword with the rest of my friends. He only thought that I could inherit more than ten acres of land and two dilapidated farms in my family. "

Red Feng smiles, shakes his head and mutters again.

"But I've been thinking about it for so long, how can I not go? My father didn't allow me, so I secretly got up in the middle of the night to practice sword, and practiced various movements repeatedly in the moonlight against several dead trees at the head of the village. In this way, more than two years later, I was almost 16 years old. Once I heard that the city began to recruit soldiers more than ten miles away, so I got up early in the morning. While my family was still sleeping, I took my own sword and rushed there. Although there is a shortage of recruits, they have to pass the screening. At least they can have a few moves under the formal soldiers before they are qualified. "

Smell speech, rather more casually say: "presumably you not only passed a few moves, also defeated the other party?"? So he was treated differently by an officer, and gradually recovered. "

At the end of his speech, he suddenly came across an important problem he had ignored.

Mask, hidden cowardly heart.

Sure enough, Chifeng shook his head and sighed: "lost, lost miserably. The sword skill, which is very familiar to the dead tree, is used in actual combat, but it can't be used. In the first move, he was beaten back and almost fell off the stage. In the second move, his sword was blown away. Of course, it's announcing that I'm not elected. At that time, I was very depressed. I picked up my sword and fled to a corner not far away, weeping bitterly. At that time, I really couldn't believe that my efforts all the time turned out to be so vulnerable. "

"And then?" Ningyue suddenly pulled in his heart. He also felt the loss and depression. It is impossible for an immature heart to feel relieved.

"And then the greatest man of my life appeared. A middle-aged man in his fifties came to me quietly, patted me on the shoulder and handed me a handkerchief to wipe away my tears. I will never forget what he said next. "

Speaking of this, Chifeng put down his tea cup, looked up at the night sky, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

"It's sad, son, isn't it? Yes, very good. That's what we want. Remember this helpless regret at the moment, because this is the evidence that you have not given up, the evidence that you have not given up yourself. As long as you have this heart that never gives up, there is nothing you can't do. "

Ning Yue nodded and said, "didn't you give up your evidence? Hum, the tears of regret are not only for the past failures, but also to avoid the same tragedy in the future. Surely, at that time, when you heard this, it was more effective than any consolation? "

Chifeng said: "yes, I stopped my tears and my heart began to throb again. Looking back, what you see is the outstretched palm of the other side. He told me that he could give me another chance. But if I lose, I will never join the army again. I promised him, followed him to the barracks, an army account. On the way, all the taxi drivers who saw him saluted. I noticed at that time that his identity was very unusual. "

"Isn't he... Marshal Xi?" I'd rather blurt it out.

"Guess right, he is the commander-in-chief of the Empire and my mentor." Chifeng's nod shocked Ning more and more. He ignored each other's surprise and continued: "in his tent, he took off his helmet and mask from a pair of armor and handed it to me to put on. Tell me, put it on, forget the original yourself, only remember the sword in hand, remember your goal. Then, he fought me in person. Of course, I couldn't win, but I didn't lose

Ning Yue woke up and said, "since then, you have been wearing a mask?"

Chi Feng said with a smile: "almost, unless you sleep and take a bath, you won't take it off. It's also the old marshal who told me that many tough troops wear masks on the battlefield. First, they are used to deter the enemy. Second, they are used to keep the blood from splashing on their faces to cover their eyes. Third, I have such an example. Stage fright, but with a mask to block the original trembling heart, become a real soldier. What he didn't expect, however, was that I became dependent on the mask and couldn't take it off any more. "

"But even if you rely on the mask, you are also strong. Chifeng, can you make an appointment with me? "

"Go ahead."

"If one day I can beat you, how about taking off the mask and showing me your face?"

"If you can do it, I agree."

Two fists touch together, the eyes between each other is not only to reach a consensus, but also to cherish each other.

"Hey, you two have been chatting for so long. It's time to come down, too?"

Under the eaves, Sima Haiwei is waving to the top. Ningyue and Chifeng are naturally hard to refuse. They jump down together and return to the house. More than half an hour later, the dinner was almost over, and some people began to leave.

"Chifeng, I remember there should be a spare room in your house, right? Ningyue and Zhili will be placed with you first. Some time these days, I helped ningyue to go through the admission procedures of Imperial College and lead him there. You, the honorary elder of the college, should show your face. "

Sima Haiwei's words, red Feng with ningyue and Zhili left the restaurant, is not deep, there are pedestrians on the street. From time to time, some passers-by were whispering in private about red Feng's mask and red robe.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yue is laughing in his heart. Among the red wolves, maybe the red Feng's dress is the easiest to expose his original identity. However, if you have seen his enemies, you should have no life to take them back.

I don't know why, on the way back, Zhili seems to have something on her mind, saying nothing.

Chifeng's Marshal's mansion is very spacious, but it is much worse than Ning Yue's imagination. There was no powerful decoration, and there were no well prepared guards to patrol. Except for an old housekeeper, there were only five soldiers in the huge yard, and they all seemed to have disabilities.

However, in this Silver Wing City, as long as there is a well-known Marshal Xi sitting in the town, naturally, the mountain is not high. If there is an immortal, there is a name. No curfew dare to offend him.

The guest rooms were sorted out very quickly. They were very clean and simple, but they were much better than the cells that didn't see the sun a few days ago.

However, Zhili seems to be a little reluctant. She drags ningyue's sleeve and says in a soft voice: "brother ningyue, can you let Zhili put a bed next to you like a few days ago?"

"This... Isn't quite right?" Ning Yue laughs a few times.

"I think the position is enough, that's it."

Red front also heard, not wait rather more refuse, one hand picked up the next room a wooden bed, soon placed in the room, leaning against the wall and put.

"You can help yourself. There should be some food and juice left in the kitchen. The Chaifang can boil water and take a bath. If necessary, do it yourself. People in my family go to bed early. "

Having said that, red front quickly leave, seems to deliberately give two people to leave a single space.

"Brother ningyue... If Zhili gives it to you... Zhili means if, me, me..."

Head down, cheeks slightly red, Zhi glass faltering, want to talk and stop. Finally, in Ning Yue's puzzled eyes, she shook her head and hurried into the room.

"What does Zhili want to say?"

I'd rather not know, so I stand outside and say hello.

"Zhili, did you sleep? Why don't you take a shower first? "

"After washing in the afternoon, Zhili is tired and wants to sleep first. Brother ningyue, go wash it. "

By the time Ning Yue came back to the house after taking a bath, it was already a little late, and he had been soaking for a long time. During this period, I can't help thinking about the past and what happened in this period of time.

And there is a new departure that is about to begin.

"Good night, Zhili." Looking at Zhi Li curled up on the opposite bed in the dark, I would rather lie down on my own bed with a whisper. He did not hear a slight murmur in the silence“ Good night, brother ningyue. Goodbye... "
