Chapter 52 Born in the 34th year of the Guangxu reign



"Master, we've never met before, and I don't know your likes and dislikes. I wasn't raised to tell the truth, but everything I say today is the truth, truly, truly, because today's decision is about life and death."

Shuo Yu began to think in his heart, and then he was sure of one thing, that their leader really didn't often tell the truth, and he was full of lies from the moment they met. If he didn't really know that this person was really their leader, he wouldn't believe him.

For the first time since the beginning, Yu Xiaoqing leaned against the back of the chair he was sitting on and said, "You really deserve to die."

"Um, did you join the army that year?" Tang Ji glanced at his nephew Yu, who made him worry, and continued to ask, getting the question back on track.

"I joined the army in 1936."

Zhang Lixian whispered his hometown to Tang Ji, so in just two sentences, Long Wenjian's hometown became Hebei. Seeing such a question, Shuo Yu shouted in his heart, why not find a piece of white paper, take a black pen, and write it yourselves?

"Where did you learn how to fight?" Yu Xiaoqing sorted himself out and asked again.

"Can I fight?" Long Wenjian asked.

"You have a lot of problems. Don't let me add one more: pretentiousness. Where did you learn how to fight?"

“A lot of people died.”

"Where did you learn to fight?"

"I've seen a lot of dead people."

"I have seen it too, endlessly, with many people who were with me, but I am still alive. Where did I learn to fight?"

"Those who died were our people."

The captain's words made Shuo Yu begin to imagine that road, that narrow path paved with their bodies. They returned, but some were left behind on the west bank forever. He lowered his head and began to worry about his captain.

Their team leader may have never met someone like Yu Xiaoqing before. Why doesn't he know how to say something nice? He usually speaks to them like a eloquent man, but why does he start to fail at the critical moment?

He glanced at Fanla and the others who had been standing there since Si La Si La came in, smiled, and wanted them to relax a little, but the next second he heard the sound of a gun bolt being pulled very quickly. It was Yu Xiaoqing.

Shuo Yu's eyes widened, and he quickly pulled his captain behind him. He thought that the hot-tempered Master Yu had finally lost patience with their captain's stickiness and was planning to execute him on the spot.

The bullet hit the ground just an inch away from Shuo Yu, leaving a bullet hole. The ricocheted bullet landed on his feet, carrying a scorching heat.

Director Chen was very angry when he saw Yu Xiaoqing's behavior. "This... this is a military court! Respect yourself, respect yourself!"

Tang Ji's hand tightly grasped Yu Xiaoqing's Colt, wanting him to put it down, but the stubborn commander said that this was a military matter. Tang Ji let go, with an expression that said, "I can't control this kid," and turned his head to the side.

The sound of a gunshot startled everyone. Shuo Yu stood between their regimental commander and Yu Xiaoqing, looking at their division commander with a polite smile on his face, and asked,

"Master, what are you doing?"

"You should ask the person behind you what he wants to do. Didn't you hear what he just said?"

The muzzle of Colt's gun was pointed at Shuoyu's eyes. Shuoyu just smiled, pretending that there was no gun pointed at his head. He looked at Yu Xiaoqing and explained for their leader.

"I heard that. Our regimental commander said that he learned how to fight slowly after experiencing many defeats. He didn't go to any military academy, and he probably couldn't even go to university. He just lost so many times that he gradually learned. People always learn to accumulate lessons from failure, don't they, Commander?"

But Long Wenjian behind him was still speaking slowly, biting his words, "Fortunately the ground isn't hard, otherwise the ricochet would hurt innocent people."

To be honest, Shuo Yu really wants to pull out his trouble-making tongue. He is just fanning the flames here. Don’t you think the hot-tempered Yu Da Tiexue is not angry enough?

"With the war going on like this, there are no more innocent Chinese soldiers!"

You can tell from his expression that he said this, and even that he thought so in his heart, as it should be.

Shuo Yu saw that the atmosphere on the scene had returned to normal. He revealed Long Wenjian behind him and then accepted the questioning from Yu Xiaoqing. This time he stood on the left side of Long Wenjian and stood with him.

Yu Xiaoqing sat down again, even though he really didn't like sitting down, and continued asking questions.

"Have you ever fought a big battle against the Japanese pirates?"

"Yes."

"That battle?"

"This battle."

"Just one battle?"

"I've never fought a big battle?"

"It's such a disgusting fight for just one battle. Burning your boats is a bit too polite. It's simply wiping out your descendants."

Long Wenjian opened his mouth slightly in a dramatic manner and turned his head to look at Fanla and the others, as if to say, aren't there still a hundred or so of them?

Shuo Yu followed his gaze and looked over. A Yi lowered his eyes and muttered something. Mi Long stiffened his neck because he felt guilty. Bula looked at him secretly. Zhen Xi was a little scared. Fan La's legs began to limp again and he couldn't stand up straight.

Zhao Qian, who was being called "Big Eyes" by Shuo Yu, looked at him as if he were a lifeline. Their leader...

All living beings are contained in it.

Their leader's voice began to speak again, in order to clear up their master's confusion, and it seemed as if he was posing a difficult problem that was puzzling him.

"The places I've been, and the places we've lost."

"How do you say it?"
