When Kong Sheng walked into the barn, Qu Feizhi and Chen Chu was comfortably basking in the sunlight. The two of them crossed their legs and laid their heads on the haystack, allowing the early spring sunlight to shine through the tall window edges and onto their bodies. This scene actually made Kong Sheng a little envious.

Hearing the door opening, the two of them did not look back, but Qu Feizhi shouted lazily, "Just leave the food there, and leave the rest to me."

Kong Sheng laughed but did not say anything, he found a clean place and placed all the dishes in the food box, then picked up the bottle and pulled open the cork, the wooden cork released a pleasant "bang" sound when it left the bottle, and the wine aroma slowly filled up the entire barn. Kong Sheng did not speak, nor did he bother to pay attention to the two of them. He sat cross-legged on the ground, poured himself a cup of wine, then tore off a piece of chicken leg.

From the moment he opened the bottle, Chen Chu's nose had twitched, following that, Qu Feizhi began to sniff strongly, the aroma of the wine was like an invisible rope, pulling the two of them off the straw mat.

Qu Feizhi turned his head just in time to see Kong Sheng pouring his second cup of wine. He suddenly stood up and rushed over with a howl. His agility fully showed that he didn't miss his training in this dismal barn. With a few steps, he walked in front of Kong Sheng and hugged the bottle of wine to his chest. Then, he rolled over ten meters away, and when he stood up again, not only was there not a single drop of wine, there was even a chicken thigh in his hands. Qu Feizhi did not care about the formalities anymore, and just took a big gulp of wine, then stuffed the entire chicken leg into his mouth. Without waiting for the chicken leg to finish chewing, he took another big gulp of wine, and the wine flowed down his beard that he had not shaved in a long time and dripped onto the front of his clothes.

He ate while looking at Kong Sheng with a bitter smile, "I'm not snatching yours, can't you take it slowly? Are you really not afraid of getting stuck with that bone? "

Qu Feizhi said unclearly: "You're thinking too much, it's boneless, I chewed it to pieces!" He really wasn't joking around. Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of bones being crushed could be heard from his mouth.

Kong Sheng shook his head and ignored him. Just as he was about to turn around and tear off a chicken wing to continue chewing on it, he realised that the roasted chicken in front of him was already gone. Chen Chu sat at least ten meters away from him, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and an entire roasted chicken in the other.

Kong Sheng let out a long sigh, "I say, you two, although I admit that I haven't been eating well and didn't eat much recently, at least I haven't had a break, right? Why are you two like you haven't eaten in your previous life? "

Chen Chu completely ignored him. As Qu Feizhi chewed on the chicken bone, he also reached out to grab the plate of new pork head and said unclearly, "I'm not talking, why don't you come over and try for a while? Ever since the food was cut off, the few people who brought us food had also taken away our food. Sometimes, the two of us added up to barely enough to eat a bowl of porridge. I've only been feeling better recently, but it's been a while since I've seen any meat or wine, and my mouth is so weak that I can taste a bird. "

Kong Sheng laughed and scolded, "Kid, you made a mistake and went to jail, and you even drank wine and meat? Do you want this daddy to tell you another matchmaker and help you marry a girl and come in here to get married and live? " After saying that, Kong Sheng turned towards Chen Chu and pouted, "What, have you two made up?"

Qu Feizhi giggled, then lowered his head and ate the meat and drank his wine. Kong Sheng rolled his eyes at him, took out an elbow tray from the food box, and placed it beside Chen Chu's feet. He glanced at the wine he drank and asked, "Monkey Wine?" How many years did you stay in the Wulian Mountain Range? "

Monkey Wine was a special product of Wulian Mountain Range. The monkeys there would cut off the dead tree trunks, empty them, hang them on a tree near their cave entrance, and then place the ripe fruits they had collected inside as reserves. As time passed, the fruits in the tree slowly turned into liquid. When the hunters on the mountain discovered that the liquid was extremely delicious, they carried the entire trunk down the mountain and took out the liquid to carry out a simple distillation process. This resulted in the Monkey Wine being added. But now, the Monkey Wine was only called Monkey Wine. Many families at the foot of Five Lotus Mountain had already learned how to make this wine by themselves, just like how monkeys could.

This was especially so for Wulian Border Army, because they were able to find even fresher fruits and even older dead trees further into the mountain range. These two were enough to determine that the Monkey Wine they produced was much more rich and advanced than the Monkey Wine found in other places, and because of this, all the people who had stayed in the Border Army had a common characteristic; The Monkey Wine was rather viscous, and its color was bright red. The aroma of the wine carried with it a type of fruity aroma. If one didn't drink it often, it was likely that they wouldn't be able to adapt to this taste for a while.

Chen Chu held the wine bottle and took a deep breath, he burped with extreme comfort, then replied, "Not even two years, a bit shorter than you."

Without waiting for Kong Sheng to answer, Chen Chu suddenly asked, "Where are my brothers?"

Kong Sheng replied, "Yes, I did. Ling Zilu is now the new set of Red Camp. Rest assured, your brothers will not suffer any loss. "

"Thank you." Chen Chu raised the bottle of wine in his hand towards Kong Sheng, as if he was toasting him, and took a big gulp. Then he pointed at the bottle. "Headless Wine?" Did you send me on my way? "

Kong Sheng shook his head. "Wine is something that Lord Shi and I have in our possession, so we came to take a look at you two."

Chen Chu looked at him, and casually nodded, "Thank you, and help me thank Master Shi."

Seeing that he did not seem to want to speak, Kong Sheng directly asked, "Master Shi, you told me about the previous Prince and you, do you have anything else you want to tell me?"

The corner of Chen Chu's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a half of a mocking and half bitter smile. He said softly, "Sir Shi, you only know the surface, I'm afraid no one will ever know the true inside story."

Kong Sheng nodded his head, "I am not here to force you to say something, but to have you consider whether or not you want to find an opportunity to talk to her with His Majesty, even if it's just a letter. What she cares about is naturally her father's whereabouts, and it's also true that she still has some feelings for you that she hasn't had in a very young age. If you talk to her, you might be able to get back to your old job. When the time comes for us to return together, regardless of whether we are under the command of the Lord Mo Ji or the Demonic Beast Extinguisher, we will be able to once again join hands and destroy the enemies of the empire, just like we did to protect our Phoenix City Pass a few days ago! "

As he finished speaking, Kong Sheng's voice and emotions had already started to rise, but the Chen Chu sitting opposite of him still had that cold face of his, neither sad nor happy, and was indifferent. After a long while, Chen Chu put down the roasted chicken in his hand, sucked in a few times with his oily fingers, then held onto the wine bottle as he staggered back to Grassland.

Qu Feizhi walked over, extended his hand, grabbed the elbow and took a bite, then said unclearly: "Lord Kong, you have to give him some time right? It would be inappropriate for him to come up and expose the other party's true identity, forcing them to express their stance. "

Kong Sheng rolled his eyes at him: "Why are you everywhere? Are you making up with him? "

Qu Feizhi used the wine to wash the meat in his mouth, and laughed: "Let's use the art of fighting. Although there are differences, but the goal is the same. Although I am at odds with Big Brother Chen on some tactical ideas, but overall, everyone's goal is the same. What did that say? To seek the same! "Right, seek common ground!"

Kong Sheng shook his head helplessly. Although he felt a little uncomfortable being coldly rejected by Chen Chu, more or less, but seeing that their relationship had improved, especially when the two of them had nothing better to do, and even discussed some military tactics, his heart was rather pleased. Although Chen Chu seemed to have a bad personality at the moment, he was very decisive in using weapons, and was very calm in everything he did, especially his insight. If Qu Feizhi could receive a bit of advice from him, it would definitely benefit him in the future battles. The only downside was that Qu Feizhi seemed to have learnt Chen Chu's venomous tongue from him, but he did not learn nimbly, turning into a cunning person.

Since Chen Chu was being so protective, Qu Feizhi did not force him. After drinking with Qu Feizhi for a while, he kept the meat and wine in the box, then stood up and left. Chen Chu's words still made sense. Chen Chu's knot in his heart and his secrets were not hidden for a day or two, rather, it had been depressed on him for the past two years. It was simply impossible for him to open his heart just because he needed to eat a meal.

Thinking to this point, Kong Sheng lifted his head to look at the sky, and silently said in his heart, "Two years, you have already left me for two years. How are you and our child? "

Every day after that, Kong Sheng would carry the meat and wine to find Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi. He did not mention anything about asking Chen Chu to write a book for Huo Yanrann at all. He only pulled two people to discuss battle examples, analyze the gains and losses, and research whether there were any better tactics to deal with them. This situation was exactly the same as when Kong Sheng was in school, and Kong Sheng couldn't help but sigh emotionally in his heart. Chen Chu also seemed to be affected, from ignoring him at the beginning to occasionally interrupting him, to fighting with Kong Sheng till his face and neck turned red, as if he had returned back to his days as a military academy.

Chen Chu was not afraid of his identity as a prisoner, and Kong Sheng did not use his position to pressure him either. No matter how loud the argument became, in the end, it would be "a cup of wine to vent our grudges". After drinking a cup of wine, everything would be fine.

The more they interact, the more Kong Sheng felt that this Chen Chu could be considered a genius in tactics. This person's way of thinking was very clear. He had to consider different aspects of the problem, especially the word "destined". It was no different from farting. As long as he felt that he could reverse the situation on the battlefield, or "get something" out of the way, he could definitely throw any orders aside and wholeheartedly follow his own thoughts. This action of his caused Kong Sheng to both love and hate him. He loved his tactics, his sharp eyes, his ability to find the key point that would change the entire situation on the battlefield, and his ability to deal with the enemy in one move. In his eyes, the battlefield was like a game of chess. Everything was a pawn that could be thrown away.

However, Kong Sheng's attitude had changed. After being taught a lesson by Shi Keren, he was no longer angry at Chen Chu's words and actions, but more concerned with how to display Chen Chu's personality on the battlefield. He was like a sharp double-edged sword, injuring one thousand enemies and damaging himself eight hundred times. If he didn't use it well, then the consequences could be imagined.

This "conversation with the barn" that Kong Sheng had lasted for ten days. Fortunately, he hadn't had anything to do with him these days, so it was rare for him to have such free time. He could generalize it throughout the entire northern battle zone, or at least use Phoenix City Pass as a test case. After leaving the military academy, many officers would have little contact with actual combat. Their tactical theory would remain at the same level as when they were studying in military academy. If this form could be popularized and utilized well, it would be of great help to the old officer's theoretical complement and the new officer's accumulated combat experience.

But when Kong Sheng excitedly went to find Shi Keren to discuss this matter, Shi Keren gave him a good beating first.

Before Kong Sheng could speak to Shi Keren, old commander had already thrown him a letter, and said with a gloomy face: "Take a look first."

The envelope had already been opened. Kong Sheng took out the letter from inside, took a look at it, and then sat down on the sofa. The thin piece of paper only had one line written on it, "Reportedly, Lady Xiu’er will execute the Sword of Truth in one month's time."

Right at that moment, the image of Xiu'er and Ye Qing once again surged into Kong Sheng's mind like the raging waves of the ocean. He sat there, and looked at Shi Keren helplessly.

Shi Keren said softly, "I have always had people in the capital watching this matter. I had thought that Your Majesty was just throwing a tantrum. "Who would've thought …"

"Teacher ~ ~ Teacher ~ ~ I ~ ~" Kong Sheng's voice was choked with sobs. After being busy for more than a month, he thought he could put down Xiu'er, but when he saw this letter, he felt that he couldn't do it. It was difficult for him to describe his feelings towards this young lady, whom he had not known for long, Xiu'er. He only felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to her.

Shi Keren let out a long sigh, "I know, you still can't let it go. I went to find Zhao Handong a few days ago and he also told me about the matter between you, Ye Qing and this lady. Speaking to here, old commander pointed to outside the door: "Go, outside of Castellan Mansion, I have already prepared some horse fart and rations for you. "Remember to go and return quickly."

Kong Sheng kneeled on the ground and kowtowed three times to Shi Keren.

"Forget it, my home country is in the world, where does your home come from? And where did this world come from? " Shi Keren reached out to help Kong Sheng up, then picked up two envelopes and gave them to him, "Here, one is a clearing disk, and the other is a letter to Vice Marshal Zhan.

Kong Sheng took the two letters and bowed deeply towards Shi Keren once again. Then, he turned and walked out of the door with big strides.

Earlier, he had saved the lives of the citizens of the Phoenix City Pass Army. Now, he had to go save a girl who had saved his life before, even if the one in front of him was the current Her Majesty.
