Although the teacher did not give too many target characteristics, the fact that the other party was the only son of the Queen of the Ten Crows was enough for Lin Feng to lock on the target. The only trouble was, when would he meet this person? Where would he meet this person
What if I missed it
On second thought, his lord wanted to collect 30,000 heads of young and strong men. No matter who he was, he would kill anyone who met the requirement. He would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!
There was a cold glint in the depths of Lin Feng's eyes.
But it was fleeting and quickly subsided, hidden under the cute, well-behaved and docile face.
Chu Yao seemed not to notice her change of expression, and smiled lovingly, "Didn't Lingde say he had something to ask me?"
Lin Feng said: "... Yes, the students are a little nervous."
Although she had seen some minor storms in the past two or three years and was quite skilled in handling the trivialities of government affairs, she was backed by her teachers and several gentlemen. Now that she was asked to follow the army, she didn't know what kind of difficult situation she would face, so she was a little nervous, especially knowing how important the role she played was, and she was so nervous that she couldn't sleep at night.
Some excitement, some fear.
All kinds of emotions are mixed in my heart and I can't resolve them.
After much thought, she could only talk to her teacher Chu Yao, who was like a teacher to her, and hope to learn from him the method to calm herself down and increase her confidence. Chu Yao naturally lived up to her expectations: "It's human nature."
“Have you ever been nervous before, teacher?”
Chu Yao thought for a moment and said, "No."
Lin Feng: “…”
Chu Yao asked again: "Why are you nervous?"
Lin Feng bit his lower lip and whispered, "When the two armies clash, there will be countless casualties... I am very worried... So, I want to know how to stop being afraid of this..."
The visual impact of the imagined picture and the picture seen with one's own eyes are completely different.
The most cruel and chaotic scene she had ever seen in her life was probably the night in the woods when her family members were poisoned to death by criminals.
But compared with wars involving thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, the two are not on the same scale.
Chu Yao: "When I was your age, I had killed more people than I could count."
"How?"
"… At that time, Chu State was weak, and its territory was only slightly larger than Heyin. The neighboring countries coveted the rich grain production in this place, and there was no peace all year round. Bandits from all over the country often harassed the common people in the country, and some of them were so cruel that they were outrageous. I couldn't bear to see this, so I teamed up with a few good friends to kill bandits. As the number of times increased, the number of lives I killed naturally increased."
He paused.
"Some of those bandits are pitiful."
Not every bandit is born vicious and evil, just like the common people in Ha Yin. Before their survival is guaranteed, they are vicious and cruel, and all of them are evil.
When outsiders hear the name of this place, they frown.
In just two years, it seemed that everyone had become an honest and kind person. The people of Heyin were simple and honest, and their reputation spread far and wide.
He and his friends killed the bandits to protect the common people from being harassed; the bandits were forced to survive in other places, so they relied on this kind of plundering to seize survival resources.
They are all mediocre people struggling to survive in this world.
"But they are evil bandits and must be killed."
"Whether it's a fight between powerful people or a war between countries, the essence is no different from 'suppressing bandits'. It's just that the former two kill more people and shed more blood. What you and I can do is to try our best to prevent the deaths and bloodshed from happening on our side! Lingde, why don't you think about the people you know? Which of them do you want to be buried in the earth forever? Sleeping in a foreign land?"
Lin Feng said: "I don't want any of them!"
"What's more terrifying than 'two armies clash, countless casualties' is that the 'countless' in 'countless casualties' are on your own side. Maybe it's a soldier you've only met once, maybe it's a general you've fought alongside, or even your teacher! The battlefield is cruel. You can be nervous and worried in front of your teacher, but once you leave this door, any enemy who stands in your way should be beheaded!"
Finally, Chu Yao had an idea.
He took down the hanging sword and said: "Follow me, Master."
Although Lin Feng didn't understand, he still followed.
———
The red sun rises in the east, and the sunset glows.
When Shen Tang saw Lin Feng, he discovered that the little girl's face was pale and slightly blue, with a hint of fatigue between her brows. She always loved cleanliness, but the corners of her clothes were stained with a little bit of dark scarlet.
He seemed to have lost his soul and looked dazed and haggard.
"Lingde didn't sleep well last night?"
Shen Tang asked casually, but Lin Feng's reaction was surprisingly big. He turned his head and held onto the wall and started to dry heave.
She looked at Chu Yao, who came to see her off, with a bewildered look on her face. The latter was very calm and didn't seem to care at all.
"She is..."
Chu Yao said: "I was stimulated."
"Stimulated?"
"Just take it easy."
After Chu Yao said this, Shen Tang no longer worried about it.
However, when leaving the city, I vaguely heard the soldiers guarding the city whispering to each other in the farewell team -
The content is not surprising.
Late last night, the Ten Crow bandits in the pit outside the city were beheaded by some hateful commoner, and their heads were thrown into the pit several feet away. The nearby land was wet with blood, and it was muddy when stepped on. The soldiers guarding the city were afraid of being blamed by the higher-ups, so they searched for the heads for a long time.
Fortunately, it’s not a big deal, as long as the bodies can be gathered together.
Shen Tang: “…”
She seemed to have guessed something.
Gu Chi came over and gossiped quietly: "My Lord, although strict teachers produce excellent students, this is too strict..."
Chu Yao is a ruthless person.
Ordinary people would take their children to the fields to pick vegetables before dawn to make a living, but he took his apprentice to pick heads to boost his courage...
But the effect is also great.
Shen Tang: “…”
Shen Tang: "... Is Lingde feeling okay?"
Gu Chi carefully identified: "Now the four elements are empty..."
My mind went blank.
Shen Tang's mind turned, and he said with pity: "... To be honest, I was not thoughtful enough. Lingde is not very old, and she usually does the work of an official, dealing with a lot of mundane affairs. How could she have seen such a bloody scene? It just so happens that she is indispensable for the Ten Crows' trip this time, and Wuhui is worried that she has not adjusted her mood, so he came up with this desperate measure... You know about this, I know about it, and their master and apprentice know about it. How dare a fifth person know..."
Gu Chi's face turned green.
Tucao: "My Lord, can you be more straightforward about your partiality?"
He was just gossiping about his colleague and he wasn't telling tales. Did his master have to be so cautious
Shen Tang said calmly: "He is old."
Gu Chi: “…”
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
He was sure that his master did this on purpose. When teasing him, could he stop laughing in his heart? It didn't matter that Chu Wuhui was "old", he still kept the medicine bottle in his hand!
It doesn't seem like the lord has ever shown favoritism.
Jiang Sheng went to pick up Wang Ji first, and met up with Shen Tang near noon. He saw Gu Chi's face was very long, and asked casually: "Is Wang Chao feeling unwell?"
Shen Tang teased: "No, I choked because of jealousy."
Jiang Sheng: "Jealous???"
The joyful atmosphere did not last long. After just half an hour, the princess sent someone over and said she wanted to summon Shen Tang.
