Chapter 365 I Didn’t Take You to Play Like This...

Sometime at the end of the year 555 in the Bran calendar.

The aging King Bran did not die, and the miracle of the God of Light, which was rare in a century, did not come. On the front line where the war was raging, the Northern Wasteland did not break through the three frontline legions in one fell swoop... This was a normal day.

If I insist on saying it's a bit special, it's because the New Year is approaching, and the faces of ordinary people in this world are more sincerely joyful. After a busy year and several months of storage, they can finally have a slightly more comfortable New Year...

However, although this date is not known to everyone in the mainland, and will not even be known for a long time in the future, this does not affect its status. Because history will remember today!

…

The moon is dark and pale, with few stars hanging low. Under the black curtain that covers the sky, from the rolling mountains that are faintly visible in the distance, a few long and strange sounds can be heard in the distance from time to time, like a lonely old wolf howling at the moon. It's like the biting cold wind whistling through the valley.

Just when the sky and the earth were dark, there were several lights shining brightly in the mountains. Needless to say, the climate in the north is really not that cold. But behind the leeward hill, crowds of people gathered around the bonfire without any shelter, laughing happily from time to time. What brought them warmth was not only the burning bonfire, but more importantly, the delicious taste of the boiling red soup on the bonfire...

"Well, it's almost done, you can eat it...I'll wipe it! Be civilized, there is a lady here anyway, can you guys stop being so [***]? Can... What about you, David, if you dare to fork it again Two pieces of meat, just leave them to me."

"Hiss, ah..." A refreshing gasp, "Boss, it's not that I want to be like this, it's that you are not good at swordsmanship. Those two pieces of meat are connected together."

"Uh, I'm not good at swordsmanship? I've rebelled against you, come here and fight... Leave some for me, damn, I'll try to stir up the pot again... Hey, hello, Chief Luo Sha!"

He buried his head and ignored it, "Haha, save it, boss, your trick is useless..."

Before he finished speaking, a rather majestic female voice sounded: "Haha, everyone is here. Oh, want to eat hot pot?"

"Uh..." Everyone froze with their hands and turned their heads in surprise. The surrounding area was vast. Except for the companions who were grabbing meat not far away, there was no trace of anyone.

Turning his head again, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Tang, you, you, you... what about you!"

"That's right, the boss is so wretched! It's just a little bit of meat. He's already got ventriloquism skills, so what's the point?"

"Fuck you? You ate it early! Uh-huh..." He simply responded, followed by a series of swallowing sounds.

"..."

There was a lively bickering and vigorous snatching, and the scene calmed down a little until the red soup no longer rolled out a little bit of meat and vegetables.

Relying on his speed, Tang En grabbed the last piece of vegetables and swallowed it with satisfaction: "Well, it tastes good... Michu sliced ​​the meat, and David chopped the vegetables, preparing for the next round."

It's just one pot, so naturally it's not enough to feed the people here. The reason why David and Michu were asked to attack was because besides Tang En, there were also Joshua, Frey, and Taiton. These people all get along with Tang En as friends, so David and David can only be wronged. .

Tang En looked around. Everyone was staring blankly at the bonfire, or at the pieces of meat falling from Mi Xiu's hands as fast as the wind. Their faces were in trance, but their eyes were unfocused. Compared with the liveliness just now, the scene now is actually a bit deserted.

Of course Tang En knew the reason. He shook the wine can in his hand towards Frey, who was looking full of melancholy across the bonfire. The latter came back to his senses, chuckled, raised the wine can in his hand, and raised his head to take a drink.

"what's your plan?"

This question was asked without any beginning or end, but everyone present knew what it meant. Frey wiped the wine stains from his mouth, pondered for a moment, and said with a complicated expression: "Honestly, I don't know...well, how should I put it. I joined the army when I was a teenager, just to make a living so that I wouldn't starve to death. I stayed there for more than ten years, and I was lucky enough to crawl out of the dead many times. At that time, I thought I would stay there for the rest of my life. On the battlefield, until you die in battle. Or if you are unlucky and your legs are cut off or something, then you can exchange your merits for compensation and find a farm to work as a rich man who teases the maid... Don't laugh, this should be no problem . With the contribution made by the Thunder Spear Formation Breaking Team at that time, it is enough for me to spend the rest of my life richly."

After a pause, he shook his head, "Then I encountered that incident and went to jail. I was lucky enough to survive and entered the mine. At that time, I didn't have any ideas. I just thought I would die here of old age in this life. This I have been here for more than ten years... I haven’t set foot on the frontline in more than ten years, and I haven’t seen the barbarians in the Northern Wilderness. I didn’t expect to grow old..."

"Brother Frey, actually you are not old, you can only be considered middle-aged at most." Joshua suddenly said softly.

David squeezed his eyes narrowly and continued: "Yes! And the older Brother Frey is, the more masculine he becomes. Hehe, I heard that there are many pretty widows in Dawn City who are asking about you. News, there are some little girls and so on, tsk tsk.”

"oh……"

In the unexplained protracted tone, Frey suddenly couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hands hurriedly: "Rumors, they are all rumors... Well, where did I just say? Oh, I didn't expect that I am nearly middle-aged, and I would go away again. Go back. But since I have such an opportunity... Well, I think I will still go back. Even if I just go to the place where my brothers died and see them, I can feel a lot more at ease. "

"My thoughts are the same as Brother Frey's." Tyton and Frey on the side touched the wine cans, raised their heads and took a sip, then grinned and said, "But when I go back this time, I just hope to kill the barbarians again. Haha, even though I can deal with Bran soldiers, I always feel uncomfortable, and it’s more fun to chop off the barbarian’s big head!”

Tang En raised the wine can: "This sounds encouraging, come on, let's do it!"

"Do it!" There was a loud response, and everyone raised their cans and took big gulps of wine.

"Ah..." After taking a breath of alcohol, Tang En turned to look at Joshua, whose cheeks were slightly red, and asked, "So, the result of this negotiation is that the Gray Army will send troops to the front line?"

Joshua nodded: "There are some others, but the most important thing is this. Well, the first batch will be at least 30,000 people."

"Oh, it's not a loss, but it's a good thing they figured it out." With a noncommittal laugh, Tang En threw away the empty wine can and watched it roll down the hillside. It probably hit something on the way and broke into pieces.

Yes, this is the agreement reached between the noble negotiation team and Luo Sha and others. What the Gray Army received was the previous series of conditions and the three parliamentary votes. All that is needed is to send 30,000 troops to the front line and join the regular soldiers to resist the attack of the Northern Wilderness tribe.

I have to say that this is indeed a very compromise proposal. It is impossible for the Gray Army to disband the army, everyone knows this. But if it is sent to the battlefield, it will kill two birds with one stone. The nobles will not have to worry about such a group of unstable explosive crystals in the rear, but they can also enhance the combat effectiveness of the front line. What is more important is a good calculation.

As for the Gray Army, even if the army goes to the battlefield, the ownership rights have not changed. It is still the Gray Army's army. Furthermore, since you accept so many benefits from Bran, you have to pay something, not to mention dealing with the barbarians who insult the civilians. There is no reason to refuse, both emotionally and rationally.

Hit it off immediately!

…

"Don, what's your plan?" Frey picked up the can of wine, slapped the seal off, and asked casually.

"Me?" Tang En raised his eyebrows and narrowed his narrow eyes, "Go, of course!"

It was so straightforward that Frey was a little surprised: "Well, what are you doing for?"

After taking a sip of wine and smacking his lips, Tang En replied nonchalantly: "There is a person I don't like walking around on the front line. I'll go over and kill him and then come back... Oh, the hot pot is almost ready. Well, let me try it! "

Watching the red soup tumbling, Tang En quickly took out his fork, put a piece of meat into his mouth, chewed a few times, and then held out the fork again, "Well, it's not ready yet, I'll try it again...it's not tasty enough, I'll try it again..." Try it..."

Watching one fork after another, Frey opened his mouth, and finally shook his head, his face speechless.

"The boss is cheating, everyone come on!"

With David's shout, a new round of food fighting started again.

Joshua didn't move. She was still thinking about what Tang En had just said. She glanced sideways at Tang En, who was concentrating on grabbing food, and pursed her lips, looking thoughtful.

When Tang En gave her funds for the secret agency before, he asked her to help investigate the movements of a group of Light Temple teams. In the end, that group of people went to the front line... Combined with Tang En's previous words about an enemy from the Temple of Light, everything became clear. The truth is out.

After thinking about it, Josiah looked a little worried. She has always believed in Tang En's strength and even worshiped him blindly. When the secret agency encountered trouble before, the first thing she thought of was Tang En. When she saw him actually appearing in front of her, she suddenly felt at ease. But the Temple of Light... such a behemoth would become an enemy, and just thinking about it makes people feel powerless. How about Yomo? After reaching the threshold of the empty level, it can be said that he is amazing and talented, but in the end, he is not treated like a dog!

Tang En didn't see the change in Joshua's expression. Seeing that she didn't move the fork, he asked doubtfully: "Losing weight?"

"Uh, no way...I was full just now."

"Oh." Without doubting that he was there, Tang En turned to stare at the hot pot again, and from time to time he quickly handed out a fork.

Soon, the red soup was still boiling, but the pot of meat slices and vegetables had been completely wiped out. Only Taiton was still scratching in it with his fork, looking unwilling to do so.

It can be said that Taiton suffered the most in these two battles. What's important in grabbing things is quick eyes and quick hands. With this alone, he can't compare with Tang En and Michu. Although the remaining Frey and David are also powerful, their strength is still stronger than him. As for the previous Josiah, that must be excluded. Everything in Taiton's fork was robbed, but will anyone rob Josiah?

"If I had known, I wouldn't have stayed with you. It would have been such a disadvantage... huh?" Just when Taiton picked up the fork with all his heart, he was shocked to find that there was a intact piece of meat stuck on the tip of the fork.

It should have been stuck to the bottom of the pot before. It was naturally fished out after being scratched with the fork. But no matter what, Taiton was overjoyed and picked up the fork and was about to put it into his mouth.

However, before the meat slices completely left the soup surface, Taiton felt a dark shadow flash in front of his eyes, and then he realized that the meat slices on his fork were missing. Then two empty crosses came quickly and in no particular order, ding, and collided with each other.

"I'll wipe...Mixu!"

Amid the roar, Mi Xiu looked calm, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he was not the one who took action just now. It has to be said that Michu's hand speed is extremely terrifying, and it is really easy to snatch things from Taiton's hands.

But Mi Xiu's calm expression could not last long. In an instant, another empty fork arrived first and intercepted his fork. As soon as his expression changed, Mi Xiu knew without looking up that the person who made the move must be Tang En, and only he could catch up with his hand speed.

"Haha, young man..."

Hiss, hiss... In an instant, phantoms appeared on the pot surface, and Mi Xiu shook his wrist rapidly as if facing a formidable enemy, drawing various irregular arcs in an attempt to avoid the shadowy cross in the air.

"To know……"

David, Frey, and Tyton on the side looked at the phantom that was difficult to distinguish between true and false, and they were all a little dumbfounded. They really can't get involved in this kind of small-scale movement.

"The last laugh..."

Ding! There was a slight crash, the phantom disappeared, and the pieces of meat on Michu's fork disappeared. Tang En's empty fork stabbed the meat slices accurately just as they fell into the soup noodles.

"That's what I'm laughing at..."

Unconscious sounds continued, Tang En blinked, looked at the empty fork in front of his eyes, and then looked at the white light on the pot surface, the coldness was rising, and the meat slices were set in the middle like amber...

The roar of despair arose,

"Qiao! Xi! Ya! If I didn't let you play like this... the bottom of the pot is frozen by you, how can we eat hot pot!!!"
