"Do you think everyone is like you?"
Jiang Chen almost wanted to roll his eyes at him.
Li Shu chuckled, and emphasized: "This is your own promise."
As he said, he took out a small jar that Jiang Chen was very familiar with from the ring. As soon as the jar was taken out, Jiang Chen's eyes straightened, and he sat up straight with a "Fuck". Li Shu seemed quite satisfied with his reaction, he waved the wine jar in front of Jiang Chen, and smiled indescribably: "You don't rob me of what you said."
"How did you get it?"
Jiang Chen looked at the small jar in his hand in disbelief.
Li Shu mei put the wine jar in his arms, protecting it like a baby: "Didn't I be sent back to our sect to escort the supplies a few days ago? Lu ran to the boy surnamed Mu to have a look. The guy surnamed Mu was just digging out those pear sources he had hidden, and put them on the ground. I happened to pass by, and he gave me a jar of pears. .”
Li Shu spoke vaguely, and didn't mention that he was the one who snatched the wine in the first place. Seeing Junior Brother Mu laying it out in jars, he was so greedy that he felt itchy.
At that time, the surname Mu was furiously cursing behind him, and Li Shu hugged the wine jar while laughing and quickened his pace.
Junior Brother Mu had no choice but to scold him a few times, but didn't really come up to chase him, shook his head and went back to dig his old wine.
Li Shu wanted to go back and steal another altar, but Junior Brother Mu saw his intention and quickly shouted: "Don't push yourself too hard! Be careful, I'll go and sue the elders."
Complain to the elders
He wanted to laugh when he heard it, and wanted to tell who he was going to complain to. Junior brother Mu is a handyman because his cultivation level is not high, and it is not that no one has thought of him before, so he will not be prepared to rob him of his wine. Junior brother Mu will not go after him if he is robbed. Sued.
The peak owner of Xuan Ce Peak is an old alcoholic, he watches his wine every day, but he is unwilling to let Junior Brother Mu give him wine because of his status. As soon as he heard that someone dared to snatch the wine, he immediately went to teach him a lesson with beard and eyes. As time goes by, everyone can only honestly put out these crooked thoughts.
But that was also in the past.
The owner of Xuan Ce Peak died in battle three months ago.
Junior brother Mu wanted to sue him again, he was lying.
Just smiling, Li Shu couldn't stop laughing. He turned his head and saw that Junior Brother Mu seemed to have discovered his slip of the tongue, standing there half bent, with a dumbfounded expression. Li Shu suddenly couldn't move while holding the wine. He stood in the empty market with a sore nose. He scolded his mother and turned back to put down the wine.
"That's enough, that's enough, I'll pay you back, isn't it just a jar of wine?"
With that said, he turned his head and left.
After walking two steps, Junior Brother Mu caught up from behind, and thrust the wine jar to him with a smirk: "Gun Gun Gun, a bunch of poor sword cultivators."
While talking, he walked back cursing.
Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, but in terms of the result, it was still the wine that Junior Brother Mu himself gave him.
Jiang Chen somewhat regretted that he had spoken too early just now, looking at Li Yuan's wine jar, he felt itchy in his heart, but he couldn't help himself. As a result, when he looked up and saw Li Shu's complacent look, he became a little annoyed and unwilling. After making some calculations, he pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a fake smile: "Who knows if you picked up an empty jar and dangled in front of me? No proof."
There's nothing wrong with Li Shu, he just likes to brag and save face.
With Jiang Chen's agitation, he became a little anxious.
"Is the empty jar real or fake?" He simply slapped off the mud cover on the wine jar, and handed the wine jar in front of Jiang Chen, "Is there any other wine that can have this smell besides Liyuan?"
As soon as the mud cover was slapped open, the aroma of wine rolled up instantly, not to mention that Li Shu moved the jar so close to his eyes.
Jiang Chen swallowed subconsciously, and he stretched out his hand.
When Li Shu realized that something was wrong, he had already pulled the wine jar into his hand, and immediately became a little anxious: "Hey, you don't want to snatch it from me!"
"One teacher and two brothers, who is with whom?" Jiang Chen said solemnly, his hand holding the wine jar was not loose at all, "Drinking brother's wine is not considered a robbery."
Just as Li Shu was about to say something, there was an applause from the side: "Chenzi is right, drinking brother's wine is not considered a robbery!"
When this voice came, both Jiang Chen and Li Shu were taken aback and raised their heads. I saw that at some point, the people in their team had already opened their eyes and touched over, all gearing up to stare at the wine jar held in Jiang Chen's hand.
After the adjustment and reorganization of the Xianmen disciples by Baili Shu, Jun Wanbai imitated the establishment of the imperial army and divided the sect disciples into thousands and hundreds of disciples. Under a hundred, ten people were divided into teams. Each team has people from various sects, taking care of each other. Jiang Chen and the rest of the team that Li Shu belonged to also woke up from meditation at some point, and gathered around at this time.
It was the one from the Zhenzong who spoke, staring at the wine in Jiang Chen's hand, and said righteously: "Junior Brother Jiang, Junior Brother Li, you are wrong, Senior Sister Jun said that a small team is a whole, can't There are sects that are different, but you can't make a special case just because you both belong to the Nine Profound Sect!"
"Yeah yeah."
Others echoed again and again.
"It's even more wrong to enjoy it privately and secretly."
"Very wrong!"
Others joined in.
"This wine...is really fragrant, junior brother, do you understand what we mean?" The disciple of Zhenzong showed a simple and honest expression on his face. He pressed the knife on his waist, and all the others smiled kindly, but their knuckles were not. It clicked loudly.
"..."
Okay, Jiang Chen understands.
Damn, what disciples of the immortal sect are all a bunch of bandits.
…………………………………………………
Mengguan is just a simple gorge pass.
But at any rate, there is still a master account for the command.
Now it is Jun Wanbai who guards here, but she is not stationed here alone, Li Banfeng and Chu Zhiyuan are also here, nominally as her lieutenants.
Jun Wanbai was thinking about the sand table filled with densely packed flags. The armies of Jin Tang, Qi Qin, and Nan Chen are now united, uniformly weaving uniform armor, and the only way to identify which dynasty they belong to is from the fighting style of the army. At the very beginning, Xianmen was completely unfamiliar with the military, and could not tell which army the dynasty had mobilized, and which army would attack from where it was stationed.
In the early days of the war, Xianmen barely survived almost entirely by relying on the strong strength of the elders.
The most dangerous time was the battle at Tongmen Pass.
The black-armored cavalry of the Jin Tang Dynasty who accepted the power of Tianzhu switched with the army of the Southern Chen Dynasty at some point, and they were caught off guard. It was the first large-scale battle that Jun Wanbai commanded, and it was completely defeated. Facing the black-armored cavalry who were trapped in the Snake Formation in the Jintang Dynasty, Jun Wanbai could only hiss and order Tell everyone to retreat.
A fiery rout.
She watched her brothers and sisters watch the familiar and unfamiliar colleagues fall, and it was only then that she realized that in the dream, her "father" once said with a sigh, as a general, you are never allowed to fail.
If the general makes a wrong judgment and order, countless people will die. As a general, he has to bear the lives of so many people.
The black-armored iron cavalry pressed down like the ancient soaring snakes, and they could only be defeated.
When I was almost desperate and almost overwhelmed by guilt, someone said softly: "Back off."
The voice is familiar.
Among the defeated crowd, Jun Wanbai saw a figure walking against the flow of people. It was Bailishu who arrived at Tongmenguan at some unknown time. This was the second time Jun Wanbai saw Bailishu after returning to the sect.
The last time I saw it was the meeting of the Eight Sects of Immortal Sect.
From a distance, she saw a young man in a black robe, surrounded by the elders of the sect, walking into the majestic Biyong Pavilion. He no longer wore the white robe that Jun Wanbai was familiar with, and the black robe on his body that symbolized the head of the Nine Profound Sect was embroidered with intricate runes. Jun Wanbai looked at him from a distance, and felt that he seemed to have become very far away from them all of a sudden, and was no longer the young man who stood in the hall with green brows and eyes.
Although most of the time, Jun Wanbai didn't understand Bailishu.
In the past, he always had a calm expression, his eyebrows and eyes were like the flying snow of Qianshan, and there were many things in his eyes that he didn't want others to know.
But compared to before, Bailishu became even more... more distant.
The former elder brother has become the head of the Jiuxuan Sect and the head of the Baili Patriarch of the Eighteenth Gu Clan. He stands indifferently in front of the heads of all the sects, and they pay him high respect. He became a figure of legend.
Then at Tongmenguan, he came.
After crossing all the retreating streams of people, the young man in black walked forward, walking towards the thousands of horses like the black torrent alone, with his golden longbow.
A golden flame ignited on the golden longbow, and then came the two arrows that stunned the world.
Jun Wanbai always remembered that when he shot the last arrow, Bailishu was standing in the wilderness, with blood, beacon fire and scorching wind blowing from far away, rolling his robe. He stood there, the world was vast, and he was alone. His thin figure was like a silhouette in the Era, mottled by time.
After that battle, Bailishu personally presided over the subsequent Qingming Pagoda connection operation, and the flying boat traveled through the sky and became the wings of the fairy gate. He sits in the center of the net and controls the entire battle situation, and the decline of the Xianmen was reversed bit by bit.
After Tongmen Pass, Jun Wanbai originally wanted to resign as a general, but Yi Heping brought Bailishu's intentions.
Baili Shu did not agree.
After battle after battle, Jun Wanbai grew up rapidly. The famous generals in the southern border praised her talent and amazing growth speed, but only Jun Wanbai knew what was going on.
She just couldn't accept that countless people died on the battlefield with their trust in her, and she still failed in the end.
She can't stand this.
She forced herself to grow up quickly,
Jun Wanbai was thinking about the sand table, and she always felt a little uneasy these days, as if something was about to happen. The armies outside Mengguan in the southern border were changed a while ago, other than that, everything went on as usual. Apart from the daily shooting of arrows between the two sides, and a small daily fight, there was no major movement. But considering the current stalemate, it is normal that there is no major movement.
But that sense of unease lingers.
Jun Wanbai faced the sand table and wanted to find out what was going on with her uneasiness. Thinking about it made her brain ache, but she didn't think of anything, so she raised her head helplessly, intending to relax first.
As a result, as soon as he raised his head, he saw Li Banfeng and Chu Zhiyuan holding a knife and a sword, one leaning on the left side of the sand table and the other on the right side of the sand table, sleeping very comfortably.
These two are Jun Wanbai's lieutenant generals in name, but in fact it is because they jointly control the remnants of the imperial map, and they need to be together to exert the greatest power of the imperial map, so they were put in the name of deputy generals and followed Jun Wanbai. Action at night. In fact, the two guys are useless for war.
Jun Wanbai is usually used to her analyzing the battle situation on the side, so worried that she almost wants to draw her sword to fight with others, and they either meditate or fight with each other, all kinds of unreliable.
At most pretend not to see, not seeing is pure.
But today she was annoyed, and when she saw these two guys sleeping so soundly, she suddenly became a little angry.
Jun Wanbai kicked Li Banmaid, Li Banmaid opened his eyes suddenly, subconsciously stretched out his hand and slapped the ground and jumped up: "What? The fight started?"
As soon as he shouted, Chu Zhiyuan who was next to him also woke up immediately, and also jumped up instantly: "Now?"
"Fuck." Jun Wanbai rolled his eyes angrily, and tapped the sand table, "I'd rather those guys on the other side come out and have a quick fight, lest they know there's nothing good and have to go here I've racked my brains thinking about it."
"If you didn't hit me, what are you talking about?"
Li Banfeng twitched the corners of his mouth, and sat down slowly again.
It's true that they are immortals, but they are not real immortals. They don't eat, drink, or sleep. Jun Wanbai has driven them to guard the city wall for several days. They are always vigilant. After such a long time, even immortals are exhausted. Enough.
Li Banfeng and Jun Wanbai are not welcome, they will continue to sleep after sitting down, Chu Zhiyuan still has a bit of conscience, he feels that he and Li Banfeng are sleeping soundly here, while Jun Wanbai is a bit of a waste of time on the other side I felt sorry, so I asked symbolically if I wanted to help.
"What can you help? It's not helpful?" Li Banfeng half-squinted his eyes and mocked.
It's not that they haven't tried to lead troops to fight, and it turned out that this military command talent is really not something everyone has. If it weren't for Huang Tu, they wouldn't even be able to protect the people they brought back. Afterwards, they simply asked what Jun Wanbai said and what they did, and Jun Wanbai asked them to take people to fight wherever they went, and gave up without even thinking about it.
Chu Zhiyuan wanted to draw his sword and fight this guy again.
"If you want to fight outside, you half-crazy shut up."
Jun Wan's eyes swept across like a knife.
Chu Zhiyuan put the sword back into its sheath, Li Xin twitched the corners of his mouth, and there was a smile that was definitely not happy on that pale face that looked like everyone owed him three million spirit stones.
After thinking about all kinds of possibilities for a whole day, but unable to be sure, Jun Wanbai simply stopped staring at the sand table in a daze. The military account was simple, so she just sat down on the ground, leaned against the table, and began to rest for a while.
"Baili..." Li Xin held his knife, paused, and changed his words, "Is there any news from the head?"
In fact, at many critical moments, they will always receive secret orders from Bailishu, and follow Bailishu's wishes to carry out large-scale joint operations or change wars, and re-arrange the battle situation. Many times, when Jun Wanbai heard others praise him as a rare famous general in the sect, he wanted to say that Bailishu was actually the real and shocking commander.
But Bailishu's orders have always been seen only by those he designated.
Therefore, although Li Xin and the others knew that Bailishu was in charge of major matters, they didn't know what order Bailishu gave each time and when he gave the order.
Jun Wanbai was silent for a while.
"It's been a while since I've had an order from him," she whispered.
After entering the period of stalemate, the time interval between Jun Wanbai receiving Bailishu's secret orders became longer and longer, and in the end it was Yi Heping who conveyed the orders, and the last secret order issued by Bailishu was to dispatch her to Guard Mengguan.
After arriving at Mengguan, she never heard from Bailishu again.
This is also the reason why Jun Wanbai always feels vaguely uneasy, as if something is about to happen.
Li Xin was also silent for a while, Chu Zhiyuan came over and sat down on the right side of the sand table, the three of them were leaning against each other and leaning on the long table, thinking about their own things.
"It's alright, alright, I'll know anyway." Jun Wanbai touched the hilt of his sword, ended the topic, and turned to talk to Li Xin, Chu Zhiyuan, and the others about the delivery of supplies, and by the way, Meng Meng. Regarding the casualties of Guan Guan, what makes people a little happier is that in the stalemate, the casualties of disciples are much less than before.
Speaking of the formation sect's disciples coming to her to find materials for formation, Jun Wanbai scratched her hair with a headache.
The lethality displayed by the disciples of the formation sect on the battlefield is really high, but these ancestors are all fighting with money. The materials consumed by a formation formation can make a poor disciple of Jiuxuanmen turn green up.
The person in charge of the materials is the disciple who escaped from the Qi Qin Dynasty before the Kyushu Bank. Even the rich and powerful guy like the Kyushu Bank who spends money and money on weekdays turns green when he looks at the list. He babbled on his face. Jun Wanbai glanced at the account books sorted out by the disciples of the Kyushu Bank, and her scalp tingled with just one glance, so she hurriedly threw it back, and found an excuse to send him away.
"Do you still remember the Thunder Dragon Formation you set up earlier?"
Hearing Jun Wanbai say this, Li Xin suddenly remembered something.
Jun Wanbai was slightly taken aback: "What Thunder Dragon formation?"
Li Xin reminded her: "Underground in Yanmen County. Using the material of a thunder dragon formation to exert such power, your formation method is quite good. It can be used now."
"Improve the formation?" Chu Zhiyuan said in surprise, "Why didn't I know you would improve the formation?"
Almost all of their chief disciples grew up in Jiuxuanmen together. They have fought so many fights for so many years, and they all know each other well. If Jun Wanbai is good enough in the formation, Chu Zhi How could Yuan not know.
Li Xin remembered Jun Wanbai as soon as he mentioned Yanmen County Underground.
At that time, they followed Ye Qiusheng to the underground outside the city of Yanmen County in the middle of the night, walked into the secret passage, and met the prison dog who was sealed there. At that time, in order to solve that thing, Jun Wanbai bit the bullet and set up a Thunder Dragon Formation. The last one couldn't remember whether it was Dongxing Sanxing or Xiqisu, and he continued casually. As a result, the power of the formation was multiplied several times.
She almost buried her in the soil with Li Banfeng.
Chu Zhiyuan curiously asked what was going on, but Li Banfeng ignored Jun Wanbai's murderous eyes and told what happened back then.
"Awesome, a genius in formation."
Chu Zhiyuan clapped his hands.
Jun Wanbai touched the hilt of his sword at his waist, expressionless: "... tell me, when will you be singled out?"
After laughing for a while, the mood of the three of them who had been depressed for the past few days finally relaxed. Jun Wanbai threatened Li Xin to go heads-up after the end, leaned his head back, and said thoughtfully: "Actually, it's really possible... I'll talk to the boys from Zhenzong later."
Since the Great War, the three of them rarely laughed happily, and the atmosphere was no longer so depressing, so they simply stopped talking about those annoying things, and the three of them chatted casually.
When mentioning Yanmen County, Chu Zhiyuan suddenly said: "I have always wanted to see Master Ye since I came to Mengguan."
Jun Wanbai and Li Xin responded, signaling that they were listening.
The Uncle Ye that Chu Zhiyuan was talking about was Ye Yi, the chief elder of the branch of Jiuxuanmen in Yanmen County.
After they encountered the misty bird of prey, the light boat of Qingyu landed in Yanmen County, and spent a period of time in the branch of Jiuxuanmen to recuperate. But neither Jun Wanbai nor Li Xin was very familiar with that elder, they just met and greeted him a few times in general. At that time, Chu Zhiyuan did not show any abnormalities.
However, if it was just an unfamiliar elder, who would think of meeting him when facing the gorge
Chu Zhiyuan touched his sword and lowered his voice: "Actually, I should call him Master."
Jun Wanbai and Li Xin opened their eyes.
They heard that Chu Zhiyuan's voice was obviously deep and deep. Although they had doubts in their hearts, they didn't ask any questions, but just listened quietly.
Xue Lidao Elder Ye Yi was also a well-known figure in the fairy sect when he was young. Chu Zhiyuan was actually a pickpocket at the beginning. At that time, he saw Elder Ye's brocade clothes on the street and thought he was a rich boy. At that time, he had heard of the immortal cultivator, the immortal family in the common population, but he never thought that the handsome and elegant young man was actually a great immortal family.
He went to steal Elder Ye Yi's purse.
After stealing it, he ran away to a deserted alley, Chu Zhiyuan wanted to see what was in the purse.
"Little guy, it's not a good habit to take other people's things."
A clear voice sounded, and Elder Ye Yi appeared in the alley at some point.
Elder Ye Yi took back his purse, looked at his worn clothes, sighed, and took him to the restaurant.
After that, Chu Zhiyuan followed him for a long time, and gradually he knew that Elder Ye Yi was a great immortal, the elder of Jiuxuanmen. Chu Zhiyuan met him because he was actually looking for something.
Chu Zhiyuan didn't know what he was looking for until now, because Ye Yi seemed a little careless, leading him around like a rich man traveling.
At that time, Elder Ye Yi would teach him some sword techniques and some of the most basic spells for cultivating immortals.
It's just that Elder Ye Yi never mentioned asking him to be a teacher, but at that time Chu Zhiyuan thought that they were actually masters and apprentices. Until suddenly one day, Elder Ye Yi brought him near the Jiuxuan Gate, and told him that it is enough to climb up the Tongtian Steps, and someone will accept you as an apprentice after you go up.
"Then... I became a disciple of Jiuxuanmen."
Chu Zhiyuan said, raising his head.
Hearing Chu Zhiyuan say these things, Jun Wanbai and Li Xin were slightly silent. Although they could be regarded as growing up together, in fact, they usually... fight more than chatting, scolding each other more than talking heart-to-heart. The origin is actually not very clear.
According to Jun Wanbai and Li Xin's understanding, Chu Zhiyuan walked to the foot of the mountain alone when he was recruiting disciples at Jiuxuanmen, and climbed up to the sky with them. From the beginning to the end, he didn't say that he actually knew an elder from the Nine Profound Sect.
Chu Zhiyuan was thinking about other things.
He said it lightly, but only he himself knows how much he cares about these things.
"Taught you so many things, shouldn't you be unable to climb up?"
At that time, Elder Ye Yi said so.
Chu Zhiyuan almost wanted to ask him, what kind of apprentice, isn't he his apprentice
However, no question came out.
He kept his words in his heart, and bet with Elder Ye Yi, thinking in his heart, you don't want to accept me as an apprentice, and I don't have to ask you to be my teacher.
This bet lasted for so long, he entered Xuanxiao Peak and became the chief of Xuanshuang Peak, he stopped practicing swords and practiced swordsmanship instead. He has never told anyone about his acquaintance with Elder Ye Yi. Elder Ye Yi has not returned to the main sect of Jiuxuanmen since then, and Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help inquiring about it in private, knowing that he went to the branch gate of Yanmen County and was stationed there.
In fact, after making such a bet with Elder Ye Yi, he still thought that when Elder Ye Yi came to see him, he would not be angry.
He is an orphan who has been living on the streets since he was a child, being a beggar in front of him.
He knows he is nothing.
He used to always think that he would die in the hands of others when he stole something, but what can he do? Others have a place to go back to, but he doesn't. No one in this world cares about his life or death.
Then he met Elder Ye Yi, who taught him the sword technique and brought him out of the previous world. He thought that person was his master, and people said that a teacher for one day would be a father for life, and he regarded Elder Ye Yi as his own father in his heart.
Then the other party didn't say anything, and suddenly left alone.
It feels like a child has a very precious thing. The child is very happy, but the person who gave him the thing took it back and refused to give it back.
Children are stubborn and stubborn, and they love face.
He was so sad that he was dying, and on the surface he still acted like an adult, and coldly cut off contact with that person. Make an expression that you don't care at all, just like this, you really don't care, and you win. In fact, it was just a child and an adult having a tantrum, with a look of "I don't need you to care about" on his face, and he was waiting anxiously for the adult to turn around and coax him.
But after waiting for so long, so long, nothing came of it.
So I got really angry at the end.
When he was in Yanmen County, Chu Zhiyuan pretended that he had forgotten who Ye Yi was, and greeted him coldly like everyone else when they met.
but…
"I'll go see him when it's over." Chu Zhiyuan said, as if he was talking to Jun Wanbai and Li Xin, or to himself.
Children will grow up and reconcile with adults.
The war started, and when he heard the news that an elder had died in battle, Chu Zhiyuan became frightened. Only when they really face the war will people understand how unworthy their previous stubbornness and stubbornness are. Holding back such a breath, I didn't see each other when I could still have a good time, and when I really couldn't see each other forever, I regretted so much that I didn't know what to do.
The waywardness in the past was just a feeling that there was still time, and that person would still be there.
But war is an unreasonable thing.
It will take you, or the person you care about, away without knowing when. Without warning and without warning.
"I'll see him when it's over."
Chu Zhiyuan repeated it again.
He made up his mind.
"Wait, wait." Jun Wanbai suddenly cursed coldly, "Wait until the day lily is cold? Get out, step on the flying sword and let me get out now. Yanmen County is only far from here, Is it enough to go back and forth for half a day, I will give you one night plus half a morning, and if you don’t show up at the top of the city at noon tomorrow, you will die.”
"what?"
Chu Zhiyuan raised his head in astonishment, he didn't expect Jun Wanbai to have a sudden seizure.
Jun Wanbai had already stood up, she looked down at Chu Zhiyuan: "I am the chief general, you are the adjutant, I order you to get out of here now, where should you go, what kind of person you are, This gorge can’t be done without you, right?”
After finishing speaking, she angrily kicked Li Xin who was slightly squinting her eyes.
"Li Banmaid, get out, go out and single out to settle accounts."
"You want to kill me, don't you?" Li Xin gasped, rubbed the kicked shoulder, and slowly stood up, "What's going on in the middle of the night, you're the lunatic, right?"
Jun Wanbai strode out with her two swords in her hands, Li Xin followed her with a dead face holding the saber in her arms.
Before walking out, he stopped in his tracks.
"Go away now."
After all, he walked out amidst Jun Wanbai's angrily reprimanded and urged.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his head and looked at the backs of them going out one after the other. After a while, he couldn't help moving the corners of his mouth, revealing a subconscious smile.
The author has something to say: ? ?
Isn't it brisk
At the beginning of this volume, I obviously wrote it very lightly and cheerfully. The brothers and sisters were fighting and fighting, Jun Wanbai and the three of them were trying to tear each other down, so it was not lighthearted!
[I suspect you are slandering me.jpg]
