Chapter 30 It's Raining
When he rushed back to the base camp from the front line, the weather was not very good, and Su An's mood was as gloomy as this weather.
Stepping onto the Huayan floor of the base square and walking along the way, the soldiers affiliated with the upper legion were greeting him.
"Su'an, when will we come to our camp to have a drink together?"
"Brother Su'an, long time no see."
"I thanked you for your care back then!"
The soldiers were either respectful or sincere. Although their identities were very different, their eyes were all filled with respect.
If this was in Jingzhou City, Su An would always chat with them with a smile to respond to the enthusiasm of the soldiers. But today, he only responded at a glance, but never said a word from beginning to end...
Su An is just a captain-level soldier at the bottom of the legion, but he has a very high reputation in the upper legion. Because apart from the heroes, he is not only a veteran who has been with the army for many years, but also the most legendary soldier in the legion.
The so-called iron-clad soldiers and the soldiers of the legion all served for service, ranging from two years to five years. However, the battlefield in the canyon is extremely cruel. Over the years, countless soldiers have died in the battlefield. Many soldiers have not yet survived their retirement and died in the canyon.
In the legion, strange faces can be seen every day, they are new rookies. A familiar face may not be seen again on a certain day, they are a veteran who died in the canyon. Death is everywhere, and colleagues who fought side by side yesterday and were drinking together may suddenly disappear today. This is the daily life of the soldiers.
But I don’t know when it started, but people were surprised to see that the soldiers in the legion were changing from generation to generation, but only the figure of this veteran is always in the legion of the upper road.
Many soldiers knew that Su An was the most qualified veteran. He had experienced countless battles, but no matter how difficult the battle was, even when facing those terrifying enemy heroes, he could always "come back alive".
Few people know when Su An joined the Shu Kingdom Legion. Many people's impression of Su An is basically "I saw him when I came to the Legion. After leaving the Legion for many years, I met him by chance outside the battlefield, and he was still serving in the Legion."
This is a mysterious and legendary soldier.
"He actually came back alive?"
"Why didn't he retire?"
"Why didn't he get promoted in such a beautiful battle?"
"How many years will he serve in the Legion?"
Such questions gradually began to be widely circulated in the Shu Legion, and correspondingly, a rumor began to rise.
There are occasionally rumors in the legion that when Su An was young, he offended a group of mysterious people. It seems that it was the arrangement of these mysterious people that made Su An unable to retire and never get any promotion.
Of course, there is no substantial evidence for these rumors, and no soldier dares to ask the heroes, and Su An himself has never mentioned this.
It is precisely because of such a rich resume and unpredictable mysterious color that Su An was regarded as a legend by the soldiers, and some even called him a "half-hero".
In this "heroes supreme" world, it is a supreme honor to be given such a title and the reputation of Su An.
......
Feeling the respectful gazes cast by the soldiers, Su An subconsciously clenched his fists. There was no slight pride in his deep eyes, but unexpectedly there was an inexplicable sense of sadness.
He stopped and looked up at the base camp in the distance. In it, he was the commander of the highest level of Shu Kingdom and the person he least wanted to see but had to see.
Resisting the disgust in his heart, Su An approached the base camp and opened the curtain of the camp.
In the vast camp, a young man in blue and white armor was facing his back. The young man had a silver-blue color. He was looking at the map of the canyon hanging on the wall.
Su An just stood there like that, his pair of emotions-free eyes just stared at the back of the man Yin without saying a word.
After a long time, a gentle sigh rang out in the silent camp.
"Are you here?" The Yin man still didn't look back, but he seemed to know that the person coming was Su An.
Su An didn't say anything. He walked forward, placed a scroll map in front of the Shuai Case, and then quietly retreated.
After hearing Su An didn't say anything, the Yin man slowly turned around. He had a handsome face of Fengshen, but his expression was covered with a layer of deterrent coldness.
His dark blue eyes reflected Su An's figure. After a while, he slowly said, "Sit down." Then, he came to the Shuai Case and opened the map that Su An handed over.
But Su An did not sit on the chair aside as Yin Man said, but just stood there silently, and Yin Man didn't seem to care about this.
After a while, the Yin man said without raising his head: "You are willing to come over to see me this time. I think there is something important to tell me, right?"
Su An's eyes trembled slightly, and then he said in a cold tone that he usually did not have: "One of my subordinates thinks that Wei is planning to attack the second defense tower and needs to ask the hero to take charge."
"Haha, then your subordinate still has somewhere to learn." The Yin man still didn't even raise his head, but just looked at the map spread out on the handsome desk seriously.
It seemed that he had expected the reaction of the Yin Man, and Su An said again: "One of my subordinates believes that Wei State is a feint attack, and its real purpose may be to go to the middle and lower routes..."
Before he finished speaking, the Yin man raised his head and interrupted: "The Wei State has ambushing in the middle and lower routes. The heroes of the Wei State are all concentrated at the ambush point. Their upper route is empty. Can we take the opportunity to send heroes to destroy the Wei State's first defense tower?"
With just one glance, without any field investigation, the mystery that ordinary people cannot see through was easily seen. It should be said that there is not a reason why this silver man was able to become the supreme commander-in-chief of the Three Routes of the Shu Kingdom.
"It is worthy of being the greatest genius in history in Jixia Academy." Su An said in a stiff tone: "That's what he really means."
"Your subordinate is amazing to be able to see through the strategy of Wei State. You can see that you taught your subordinates very well, and you did not insult our Jixia Academy, nor did you disappoint the knowledge taught by the Master." Having said that, the Yin man did not feel like he was praising people in his tone or expression, but more like he was using words to spy Su An's reaction.
Su An did not answer, but just stared in the Yin Man's eyes coldly.
It is estimated that no soldier in the entire Shu Kingdom army dares to face the dignified commander-in-chief of the three armies with such a contemptuous attitude. If this strange scene was seen by a passing soldier, Su An's popularity in Shu Kingdom would probably be even greater.
"Come and talk."
It seemed that the information he wanted could not be found in Su An's eyes. The Yin man leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair, slowly said: "Five days ago, the unparalleled demon of Wei State attacked the second defense tower on your way. Shangguan Wei died in battle. Now, the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the vanguard of the tide."
Su An didn't say anything, just stared at Yin Man with a faint slight ridicule in his eyes. Until Yin Man's firm brows frowned slightly unhappy, he said in a deep voice: "Within the specified time, as long as I don't die, I will let me go. During this period, I will never be promoted or retired. You will not forget this agreement, right?"
The silver man was silent.
Su An suddenly showed a smile, a crazy smile: "Didn't the old guys just hope that I could die on the battlefield? Why, my tenacity was beyond the expectations of the old guys, and they can't wait now?"
"Is it necessary?" After a long silence, a complex look flashed in the dark blue eyes of the silver man.
"We are both students of Jixia College. As long as you are willing to bow your head and admit your mistake, Master will forgive you. After so many years, can't you accept that fact?"
"I am reserved about that fact." Su An sneered: "I just disdain to join you hypocritical hypocrites who steal the world and deceive their reputation!"
The silver man was silent.
Su An said again: "Don't get me wrong. I'm not here to ask those old guys for mercy. I just lived in Jingzhou for so many years and I don't want to see the destruction of Shu Kingdom, but now it seems that I'm useless."
Sneering and leaving this sentence, Su An was about to turn around and leave.
"Xingzhi..."
Su An trembled and stopped leaving.
How many years have it been? How many years ago was the last time I heard this name?
"If you still haven't let go, then recommend a candidate to me. I believe that you have been in the Legion for so many years, and you will definitely be more suitable for selecting a qualified commander in the Legion than me." Behind me, the voice of the silver man, came again.
Commander?
Su An raised his head and looked at the thunderous sky outside the tent. For some reason, a figure flashed through his mind, and he also remembered the person who had influenced his life.
After gritting his teeth secretly, Su An suddenly turned around and grabbed a brush and map in front of the bronze case without hesitation. After writing a few words in the sound of brushing, he threw them back.
"There is one thing I need to declare. The one who has seen through the strategy of Wei is this newly enlisted recruit. I have never taught him anything. Moreover, I will not teach even a little bit of Jixia knowledge to anyone during my lifetime, and remember it."
"I respect your choice." The silver man sighed slightly, but then he frowned slightly and said, "But can you explain why you should recommend a recruit?"
"I believe in my intuition. He is not only born a powerful warrior, but also an unparalleled commander."
"You're so ridiculous that you trust your intuition?"
"I also led you into Jixia Academy by intuition back then, what's the result?" Amid the lost laughter, Su An walked out of the camp, "The world laughed at me for being too crazy, I laughed at the world for being unable to see through! Hahaha!"
With a complicated look, Su An opened the curtain and left with a smile. The silver man was speechless. His fingers were gently tapping the tabletop, and his dark blue eyes were looking at the words written by Su An on the back of the map.
"The 17th Squad of the Pavlos Army, the Upper Road Legion - Wang Yao."
Da, da da...
There were countless muffled sounds at the top of the military tent, which were the sound of raindrops hitting the tent cloth.
It started to rain.
