Chapter 480

Smell speech, rather more Leng for a long time to return to God, shaking his head a smile back way: "North Marshal joked, even if I really dare to, and don't say whether other generals agree, just Fang Huanlan side, in the feeling in reason can't pass."

Who knows, Fang Zhuosheng seemed to have expected that Ning Yue would say so, and without thinking, he said directly: "these two problems are actually easy to handle, and they can be solved by the same method to ensure that everyone will shut up. What, do you agree? "

Ning Yue's cheek twitched slightly, and he replied: "what you ask is whether to answer, not whether you want to know what the method is. From this alone, I don't want to agree. "

Suddenly, Fang Zhuosheng's eyes narrowed and said coldly: "it's rare to dare to refuse Ben Shuai at the northern border, and basically it's miserable."

"But I don't think Marshal north is going to take such a hard line from my point of view?" Rather more pour is not care about, shrug a smile.

"That's natural. It's just, don't you want to hear what the method is? "

"If Marshal Bei doesn't need my consent, I'll listen to it."

As ningyue's voice fell, Fang Zhuosheng sighed, got up and turned to the window. He raised his hand to open the window and looked up at the clear sky.

"Boy, what if I betroth Alan to you?"

"What?"

Ningyue's face was frozen, and he was stunned on the spot. After a long time, he shook his head vigorously, and then said: "that... Marshal Bei, did I hear you wrong?"

Fang Zhuosheng didn't turn around. He accentuated his voice and said, "you didn't hear me wrong. I mean, as long as you marry Alan and become marshal of the north, no one will disagree. As for your majesty and even the little princess, I can help you to intercede, OK? Marshal Bei doesn't have to stay in this frontier, but I don't care about anything else, so I'm willing to live in this cold and bitter place all the year round. As long as there is no emergency war, if you like, it is no problem to live in the mainland for a long time. "

"Well, isn't that appropriate?" Ningyue shook his head subconsciously. Before that, he felt that Fang Zhuosheng's method was beyond his expectation, but now what he heard is far beyond the scope of his expectation.

Suddenly turned around, Fang Zhuosheng calmly asked: "what is not appropriate? Are you unwilling to accept the position of Marshal north, or do you think Alan is not worthy of you

Ning Yue quickly explained: "I just said it's inappropriate, not unwilling..."

"That is to say, yes?"

"No!"

All of a sudden, Ning Yue found that his thoughts could not keep up with Marshal Bei's way of thinking, especially the other side's eyes, which made him feel uneasy all the time. Helpless, had to close his eyes, slowly take a deep breath, a little calmer, then speak again.

"Fang Huanlan is excellent. She is not inferior to men. Her strength and potential, as well as her strategy and command, are all outstanding among her peers. I also admire her choice. I am willing to inherit Marshal Bei's will, guard the border and safeguard the safety of the people, so that the people of the snow dragon empire can live and work in peace and contentment. I dare not say in vain who is qualified to succeed to the position of Marshal Bei. However, Fang Huanlan must be more suitable for this position than me. She's steady, and I always like to do whatever I want. For defense, it's clear which is higher or lower

Fang Zhuosheng shook his head and said, "before that, I think she is more suitable than you. But later, I found out that she was too influenced by my style. She was steady and conservative. She stuck to the conventional defensive tactics and only wanted to passively bear the enemy's attack. She really became a shield. Apart from other things, several generations of northern marshals had to rely on defensive warfare to retreat from the attacks of the nomadic tribes and to treat the symptoms rather than the root causes. But you've only been here a few days, and you've stopped fighting. This is something that many people can't imagine. "

Ning Yue sighed: "how dare I take credit for this? If the nomadic tribes were not afraid of the combat power of the border guards, they would not be willing to make peace and would certainly launch a strong attack regardless of the cost. What I have to say is that I was lucky enough to run into the leader of their moderates and win his trust. I think that in the past few hundred years, perhaps there have been similar words and ideas among marshals north of the past dynasties. There is a lack of an opportunity. Rome wasn't built in a day. The formation of an opportunity is more crucial than my chance. "

Nodding repeatedly, Fang Zhuosheng replied: "I've thought about what you said. As a veteran of the battlefield, I understand a word better, a general's success will wither. What people remember is the generals who made great achievements in war, not the soldiers who died because of his orders. Every Marshal's way to the top is paved with countless corpses. Not everyone is qualified to seize that opportunity. If you really feel that you are not as suitable as Alan, it is better for her to inherit the position of Marshal, and you stay to assist her. It may be better for two people to show their strong points. "

Shaking his head and sighing, Ning Yue said with certainty: "from the beginning, is this the plan of Marshal Ben? I'm sorry I can't do it. If it had been a year ago, maybe I would have gladly accepted it. But in the past year, I went out of the last stream sect and experienced many unimaginable things before. Then I realized my insignificance and ignorance. The whole continent is so big, and I have only been to a small area. How can I bear to live in one place without seeing all kinds of wonderful things beyond imagination? "

"Well, I've made some demands. Finally out of the cage, how can the bird fly back to another relatively large cage. What you yearn for, what you pursue, is different from those of us who have vowed to give our lives to the Empire. Just now, when I didn't say it. " Fang Zhuosheng finally nodded, looking at his appearance, there was a trace of loss.

Ningyue said again: "if I am tired and tired of running outside, I decide to find a place to settle down. At that time, if you come back to the North marshal, I hope you can be a partial general here. "

Fang Zhuosheng naturally knew that it was a polite remark, but he also nodded a smile and said, "of course, no problem. If Alan is not married at that time, will you still marry her? "

The cheek is tiny red, rather more turn head to look to one side, mutter a way: "North Marshal joke."

"Well, I'm an old man who worries about you young people. Now that you've decided to go, let's take a few more days to see which caravan is going to go through the customs and give you a ride. "

Speaking of this, Fang Zhuosheng suddenly solemnly said: "at least stay for another five days, or I won't let you go."

Ning Yue said with a smile: "five days? Marshal Bei doesn't know. Because of his different physique, in three days, I can recover to more than 70% of my strength. "

"I don't mean that."

Fang Zhuosheng shook his head slightly and looked out of the window again.

"There are still five days to go before the new year. Why don't you stay for a new year's Eve dinner?"

"How time flies?"

……

Five days later.

Even in the bitter and cold border city, it's also a time of celebration. Moreover, the war has temporarily subsided, whether it's a victory or a rest, and many soldiers are well prepared for this annual New Year's Eve Festival. In ordinary days, the simple houses and streets are also decorated with lights.

Because many caravans have been here for a long time, they can't deliver the goods to us before they return. They just stay together and help us. They also express their gratitude for protecting them.

On the top of Huangmen pass, patrol and guard are still going on. Even if it's festive, we can't relax at any time. After all, no one can say for sure whether there will be another war.

With both hands on the stone wall, I would rather feel the gusts of cold wind far away from the wasteland ahead. At least for now, there is no sign of any nomadic tribes, not even the traces of previous encampment.

"I can't believe that this year's new year's Eve will be spent here. This year is much more wonderful than the last ten years combined. "

He muttered and laughed with emotion.

Behind him, Murong Feiyun put her arms around her chest, nodded her head and said, "yes, I never thought that this year's new year's Eve would be spent here. At this time of the day, the family is the busiest. All branches of the clan will gather together and set up dozens of banquets.... "

On one side, Duanmu Hui lowered her head and said, "Miss, I've already sent someone to send a letter back. I've asked someone to bring miss's favorite honey cake. It's just that we may not be able to make it before the dinner. In the past, at this time of the year, the young lady would eat it. "

"Not this year. Since it's very different, it's totally different and more interesting. It's just a pity that there are only half of the people who came together at the beginning

Speaking of the end, Murong Feiyun bowed her head and sighed, slightly sad between her eyebrows.

"Life and death, the world's common sense, manpower can not be changed. Together with their share, take it well. At least, take advantage of this rare comfort. "

Rather look back a smile, just that wipe smile, more or less with some reluctantly.

"That's not quite right for you, is it?"

Not far away, the evening wormwood hummed softly.

The next moment, her shoulder was suddenly pressed from behind. Before she could turn back, a familiar voice came.

"When you are on duty, it's not suitable for you to laugh like this, is it?"

The evening Yin Yin immediately a smile, turn round to embrace to come person, way: "orchid orchid, your wound is good?"

This time, Fang Huanlan didn't care about her address. She shook her long gun and said, "it's hard to walk without relying on foreign things, but it's no big problem. By the way, marshal Bei has said that you don't need to take part in any military affairs today. Just have a good rest. "

Ning Yue turned his head and said, "it's OK to get used to it these days. What's more, shouldn't it be the real soldiers outside of us who should really rest? "

"Well, I'd rather you stay here and work hard with us. And we went to rest. Just now I saw that the cooked glutinous rice was out of the pot. Now there must be some steaming New Year cake just made, right

With a smile, she let Fang Huanlan go and raised her hand to greet the rest of her companions.

"Well, you can all go, but don't patronize it. I'll help you. Just leave it to me. I've been lying for so many days. It's time to do some exercise. "

Fang Huanlan nodded and looked at a group of familiar companions walking down the castle in high spirits. As if they were about to sigh, they suddenly noticed something. When they looked again, they saw that ningyue was still standing on the stone wall of the city wall, looking into the distance.

"What's the matter, not going?"“ I can't help with the arrangement. I'd better stay here. When I was a child, I was looking forward to the new year. Even the elders who were cold to me would give me some delicious food and lucky money. But now, I'm not interested in things like that. " Ning Yue shakes his head and smiles. Fang Huanlan came to him with a long gun and said with a smile, "you are so old. I don't know. I thought you were 60 or 70 years old." Ning Yue replied: "before, there were few happy days. I felt that life was like years. Now, there are more interesting things and time flies. Not to mention that I met you in the college, the earlier things seem to be yesterday, but actually they have been gone for a long time. " With a nod, Fang Huanlan said: "unconsciously, time is gone? For many soldiers here, it is just like this. In the long guard, time is just a synonym for boredom. Once you've passed, it may be a lifetime. " Looking at the nearby taxi drivers still standing like flagpoles, Ning Yue showed a trace of admiration in his eyes and said: "for them. It's supposed to be the new year's Eve for family reunion, so I can only spend it with my comrades in arms? "“ Give up small family, for everyone. In this pass, many soldiers give up their happiness in exchange for more people's happiness. At night, when I look back, there are bright lights behind me. It is also because of their dedication and protection that we have this scene of living and working in peace and contentment. " The hand with the gun is shaking. Fang Huanlan clenches his left hand and raises it to his chest, saying again and again“ This is my choice, our choice without regret. "
