Sheng Fu

Chapter 721 The Silence of the Stick

noon.

The 100,000-strong army arrived at the southern plains as scheduled.

As the faces of Hengchang's soldiers, Zhang Benchu ​​and Yan Zhao took the initiative to talk to the other generals, including Qi Yuan and others.

Inside the big tent.

Yuwen Jun, Jing Peiyao, and Xu Huanshan sat around a table.

The aroma of tea was wafting in the air, and there were abundant fruit snacks. Even Xu Huanshan felt that Yuwen Jun's behavior was a sign that he was just here to take a quick look at the battlefield. However, Xu Huanshan would never criticize Yuwen Jun.

Xu Huanshan picked up a grape and said, "I've heard a long time ago that you like to eat grapes."

In fact, if you think carefully, Yu Wenjun doesn't have many past events in Bailu Academy to recall. It was only after he met Gu Yong that he took part in the Guihai Conference.

The person I remember most vividly is actually Liu Qinghua.

Liu Qinghua was the pearl in the green plum forest. Although Yuwen Jun was very secretive at that time, Liu Qinghua was indeed an important figure whom Yuwen Jun rarely met on a daily basis, and she was also his senior sister.

It was only after Gu Yong noticed him that Yu Wenjun rose to prominence.

Therefore, he really did not have much friendship with Xu Huanshan, Xiao Chu, and the Song brothers. It was just that many people thought that they had participated in the Return to the Sea Meeting and the Ba Gu Banquet together, and mistakenly believed that their friendship as classmates was very deep.

As for Jing Peiyao, she was just young and her heart suddenly blossomed, and she just happened to have this flower.

Yu Wenjun doesn't like nostalgia.

We all came from the Bailu Academy, but in fact, there are not many old people and things to recall.

In terms of seniority, Yu Wenjun has to call Xu Huanshan "senior brother".

But for some reason, Yu Wenjun never called Xu Huanshan "senior brother".

In fact, Yuwen Jun also knew that Xiao Chu was here, but he didn't know how to face Yuwen Jun and Jing Peiyao with dignity. Xiao Chu was once Yuwen Jun's love rival, or perhaps not even a love rival.

In comparison, Xiao Chu at that time was actually the boy who most resembled a young man.

However, Yuwen Jun and Xu Huanshan are both too mature.

Maybe occasionally when Xiao Chu recalls the past, he would feel that he was very naive at that time, and even a little scared. He had no idea that a man who looked gentle and polite actually had the identity of the young master of the dragon clan.

And for Zhang Benchu, Yuwen Jun also slashed Xiao Chu with a knife.

The friendship between classmates may only be a topic of conversation among outsiders. In fact, this friendship between classmates really cannot stand up to scrutiny at all, but outsiders just don't know it.

Yu Wenjun smiled and asked, "What else did you hear?"

Xu Huanshan was stunned for a moment and said, "You are still as good at talking as before."

"I haven't asked about your deeds or news in detail, but I know that you like to eat grapes."

"Is Junior Sister Liu Qinghua okay now? I estimate that she should have reached the ultimate realm."

In terms of seniority, Liu Qinghua is indeed Xu Huanshan's junior sister, and these two have seen each other in Bailu Academy before. Under the leadership of their respective masters, they have some face-to-face friendship.

There was no way. Li Xiunian was not well-known at that time, but Xu Huanshan was the direct disciple of the great elder. In terms of status and position, Liu Qinghua was really not as good as Xu Huanshan.

Xu Huanshan's greeting seemed somewhat hypocritical, but after careful consideration, it also had a certain sincerity and human touch.

But at the beginning, His Majesty the Human Emperor used Yuwen Jun as a whetstone for Xu Huanshan. For a period of time, Xu Huanshan really wanted to kill Liu Qinghua in order to suppress Yuwen Jun, and even made a specific plan, but he failed.

Perhaps it is possible to have a friendship between classmates in the academy.

After leaving the academy, the so-called friendship between classmates often seems more like a joke or some unspeakable regrets. Only in the academy can we regard each other as equals. After leaving the academy, the differences in status will gradually become apparent.

Yu Wenjun said: "Senior sister has indeed entered the ultimate realm, but her foundation is not yet solid."

Jing Peiyao sat aside, silent, which made Xu Huanshan feel that the atmosphere in the big tent was a little awkward. Helplessly, Xu Huanshan raised his teacup and took a sip, saying, "Congratulations, you have achieved the first success."

"In fact, I had thought that you and I could fight side by side once, and create a good story to enhance the reputation of the human race, but later I felt that I could no longer fight side by side with you."

"Now I am in the Breakthrough Realm, and you two are in the Return to Origin Realm."

"The difference in strength is already huge."

"In fact, after the Eight-Gu Banquet, I always felt that my achievements would surpass the two of you, but later I found that perhaps I would only get further and further away from your footsteps in the future."

Yuwen Jun and Xu Huanshan could think of some effective political tricks. Both of them had this little tacit understanding between politicians, but they no longer had a tacit understanding of being of one mind on many things.

Yu Wenjun said: "The longer you stay in this tent, the more the soldiers outside will think about it."

“It’s actually a beautiful story.”

"It's just that the Grand Master has come to see me, so I can withdraw my troops."

“So, there is no room for fighting side by side anyway.”

"But you and Xiao Chu can fight side by side."

Xu Huanshan lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I see. When do you plan to withdraw your troops?"

Yu Wenjun said: "After we finish our tea."

Xu Huanshan was hesitant to speak. He also wanted to have a good chat with Yuwen Jun, but the other party had no such intention. Xu Huanshan also knew that apart from martial arts cultivation, the two of them might not be at the same level in other matters.

Yu Wenjun said: "Han Xiu has led his army to the Black Mountain area, and there is no movement for the time being. With 30,000 troops, there will definitely be no encounter, and at least they will fall into an ambush."

"This battle will test your military ability to the extreme."

"Your ability to coordinate the troops should be quite good. If you win, even if you have never been on the battlefield, you will gain higher prestige in the army and have a greater weight in the heart of the Human Emperor."

Hearing this, Xu Huanshan said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to be so straightforward."

Yuwen Jun said: "If a soldier is not straightforward, how can he be a soldier?"

It was still very straightforward, leaving Xu Huanshan speechless.

Before he knew it, the tea in Xu Huanshan's cup was almost empty. Seeing this, Yu Wenjun simply filled Xu Huanshan's cup with tea.

Jing Peiyao stood up and left, walked out of the tent, and began to mobilize troops.

Very neat, without any delay.

Xu Huanshan picked up the teacup and took a sip. He said, "Should we return directly to Henglong Mountain, or retreat to Saibei City?"

Yu Wenjun said: "Let's go back to Saibei City first. If you can win a few games in a row, we will return to Henglong Mountain. If the situation is not good, we will also return to Henglong Mountain."

"Because we only have 5,000 soldiers, they won't be very useful in a large-scale battle."

Xu Huanshan: “…”

"So, why did you come to the battlefield?"

Yu Wenjun said indifferently: "You are just trying to gain a good reputation. You have definitely never faced the Lingxiao demon alone, let alone killed the Lingxiao demon."

"As far as this matter is concerned, you really need to hone your skills for a period of time before you have a chance to achieve such a result."

This time Xu Huanshan picked up the teacup and drank it all, then stood up and walked towards the door. Before leaving, he said, "What you said makes sense, but I didn't realize it myself. It's also because I don't know the big picture."

"But I want to say that now is the time, and I really regard you as my comrade and classmate."
