Daming kill

Chapter 40
Li Ping hadn't drank liquor for a long time.

The only other time he drank in this world was the very few water-like variegated wine that Zuo Liangyu rewarded him when he first arrived in Xiangyang.

Liquor is the most expensive in Xiangyang, where there have been wars for several years. Not to mention the extremely high price, you may not be able to buy it even if you have money.

It is not easy for Shi Ming to be able to search for baijiu, but it is even more commendable to be willing to share it with everyone. It really cost money.

Although there is not much baijiu, and the strength seems to be only above the middle level, but it is almost two catties, which is enough for four people to have a good time.

As expected, Shi Ming intentionally dismissed Li Shengcai and Liu Shixiong. Not only was the drinking place not his usual residence, but he also specifically asked his subordinates to keep their whereabouts secret from those two people. He also explained frankly that it was not good to let them mix in. Not happy to drink.

Life is like this, the prerequisite for others to take you seriously is that you have strength.

During the banquet, the four of them sat around together, eating soy sauce, gnawing bones, and drinking mellow white wine. Li Ping seemed to have a feeling of a world away. He hadn't had such a diet for a long time.

Get used to the big fish and big meat in that time and space, no one would like the simple food and drink now.

After everyone toasted each other for several times, Zhao Jin repeated all the information that he had told Li Ping yesterday on the wine table, which attracted Shi Ming and Wang Chengwu to sit and listen carefully.

Afterwards, Shi Ming also added some of his knowledge.

However, most of Shi Ming's information is more fragmentary, mainly based on trivial rumors, and generally does not exceed the scope of Zhao Jin's grasp, which should be related to the level of the source channel.

But there are also two very critical ones, and they are more mastered than Zhao Jin.

One is about the national security of the general army.

It is said that Fang Guoan was from Zhejiang. He was originally a soldier under Zuo Liangyu, who was single-handedly picked up by Zuo Liangyu.

The second one is about Zuo Menggeng.

It is said that Zuo Menggeng's father-in-law is Wang Shizhong, who was originally a Haixi Jurchen, and later entered the customs and grew up in the royal palace.

It seems that Shi Ming is very attentive to these stakeholders, and should have a focus.

However, the combined information of several people is still limited after all, and it is impossible to judge many situations for a while, so they can only encourage each other to step up training and capture the troops.

After talking about the troubling current situation, under the influence of alcohol, calling brothers and being romantic also inevitably became the theme.Especially Zhao Jin and Shi Ming, like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, kept raising their arms and complimenting each other frequently, and then began to hook shoulders and whisper together.

The small amount of baijiu quickly ran out.

Following the serving of rice wine and fruit wine, several very young and pretty women also joined in, and they were called by Shi Ming to accompany them to drink.

The most indispensable thing in Shi Ming's camp is women, and they are still young women.

Each of these women was wearing cross-collar shirts of various colors with open skirts and tube tops inside. The flesh-colored and colorful colors complemented each other, making the atmosphere even more lively in an instant.And their light and familiar movements and relaxed expressions can also tell that this kind of scene is not the first time for them.

However, the sudden soft jade and gentle fragrance made Li Ping obviously uncomfortable. After all, such activities were a bit far away from his previous life.

Although Li Ping is very clear that their world has changed, he also knows that there is no need to carry shackles, and he does not want to engage in any moral kidnapping.

But knowing it is one thing, being able to handle it with ease is another.

After all, this has greatly exceeded his previous life track. He really doesn't know how to deal with it, and feels uncomfortable all over his body.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to deliberately focus on the food on the table in a disguised manner, as if he was very interested, and neither avoided nor posted on the woman who came up.

But Zhao Jin still noticed Li Ping's uneasiness, and he probably understood the reason, so he hugged the woman in his arms and joked in the tone of someone who has experienced it: "Brother, let go. The past is over, don't restrict yourself too much, you You have to learn another life."

Hearing what Zhao Jin said, Shi Ming also laughed and said, "Hehe! One more word, brother, man, you can only live in vain if you enjoy the scenery of the world. It's enough to be worthy of the sky and the earth! Enjoy the time and live well."

Li Ping smiled politely. Although he couldn't accept it for a while, he also knew that he couldn't be too different. He didn't want to make himself look too noble.

So, he gently hugged the woman beside him and drank a small glass of fruit wine with her.Seeing this, Zhao Jin and Shi Ming also smiled and no longer paid attention to him, but enthusiastically obeyed the drinking order.

The woman next to Li Ping felt Li Ping's indifference and acting, so she didn't say much, but carefully poured wine for Li Ping, and the two of them didn't speak, they just drank slowly one mouthful at a time.

This woman is not very old, even a little too young, her face and skin are only seventeen or eighteen at most, but her body is clearly developed and mature, Li Ping began to feel a little uneasy.

In a blink of an eye, I took a closer look at the other women, and found that they were all too young.

After anxiously asking each other, he found out that the woman beside him was only 16 and got married last year. The man went to Henan with the army but did not come back.

Li Ping was a little stunned, and soon thought of the same young married women in Song Baolai's security camp.

He probably got it.

Relying on his miscellaneous historical knowledge, Li Ping thought that he should not look at ancient times with the progress of modern women's physical development, and there is no need to have any stupid thoughts such as inhumanity.

Because this is the choice of evolution, and it is also the choice of reality.

In this era, women's bodies mature very early, and their first menstruation is also very early. Many women get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and give birth to children at fifteen or sixteen.

Early marriage is not due to the ignorance of the ancients, but the result of natural selection, because women's bodies must be mature early enough to pass on the family line.

Otherwise, in an era when the average life expectancy is only over 30 years old, once there is widespread late marriage, one can imagine what kind of disaster it will bring to the normal continuation of the population!
This is also the main reason why feudal dynasties and social understandings in history mostly forced women to marry early, and the bodies of men and women have also completed due evolution to meet the needs.

Modern people's late marriage is actually more related to the substantial increase in life expectancy, and then humans began to need to spend more time in school, followed by a significant slowdown in the speed of sexual maturity and development of men and women, and a decrease in the time of women's first menstrual period. Constantly postponing is also an evolutionary choice.

After thinking about this, Li Ping soon became calm again.

While drinking slowly, Li Ping rolled his eyes at the others, it seemed that the mutual drinking order had ended, and everyone was having fun on their own.

That guy Zhao Jin was hugging the woman beside him tightly like glue, talking about romantic affairs fluently like a lover, he looked like a veteran at first glance; Then he hugged the woman next to him and closed his eyes to enjoy, as if he was remembering something.

Li Ping was a little distracted for a while, the Zhao Jin he used to know became a little strange, but it was definitely not because Zhao Jin adapted faster, maybe it was because of Zhao Jin's unfortunate marriage that ended in the end, maybe it was the big dye pot of society, he said not good.

But here is undoubtedly further indulging everyone, including himself, because he found that he was actually used to the soft body in his arms, and his palms no longer sweated.

At this time, Shi Ming suddenly stood up drunk, put his arms around the woman beside him and said that he was going to rest, and please help yourself, someone will arrange the room.Zhao Jin also stood up immediately, so the two joined hands and left with the beauty in their arms and smiling.

Li Ping has a good capacity for alcohol, and his body seems to be okay. Today, he didn't drink too much, but he may not have had a drink for a long time, and he is still a little dizzy.

Seeing Shi Ming and Zhao Jin leave, the woman next to Li Ping also suddenly dared to dawdle on him, making Li Ping a little bit bloody.

After trying to calm down, Li Ping resolutely decided to bid farewell to Wang Chengwu in the girl's resentful eyes. He decided to leave the city and return to his camp before dark.

For some things, he really can't accept it now.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly confused Wang Chengwu decisively pushed away the woman beside him and insisted on giving Li Ping a ride.

Li Ping couldn't postpone it, so he had no choice but to let him go.

On the way to Zhao Jinying to join their own soldiers, the dizzy two chose to walk, and several soldiers from Wang Chengwu's battalion followed behind with their horses.

Along the way, both of them were a little silent, and their hot bodies began to sweat continuously during the exercise.

Seeing that he was approaching Zhao Jin's camp, in a secluded place, Wang Chengwu suddenly asked: "Brother, were you an officer before?".

Li Ping stopped in surprise, his body trembled, his hot sweat turned into cold sweat in an instant, and his whole body recovered immediately.

When he turned his head slowly, what he saw was Wang Chengwu's face looking at him calmly.

Li Ping quickly weighed it in his mind, and then replied in a calm tone: "Well, how do you know."

For Wang Chengwu's question, Li Ping was somewhat psychologically prepared, but he didn't expect it to be at this time.

Some routine things in the army can't be hidden from colleagues at all. I haven't stayed in that system, I haven't worked in some positions, and I can't be so proficient in some things.

It's not normal for him to suddenly stand in front of hundreds of people and give orders, just like a big soldier, not to be nervous or to make some mistakes.And on the way south from Zhuxian Town, he and Zhao Jin didn't have the time to act in more plays.

Li Ping knew that he and Zhao Jin would be suspected sooner or later. The original explanation was actually full of loopholes. Continuing to conceal and tell lies would only embarrass him. It would be better to simply admit it.

Wang Chengwu's expression was a little surprised, and he murmured: "I knew it."

"How to say?"

Li Ping's tone was somewhat mechanical.

Wang Chengwu suddenly laughed softly, and he said: "Please don't worry, Brother Li. I don't mean anything else. I can tell that it's actually because you and Brother Zhao have too obvious marks of professional soldiers on their bodies, and I am too familiar with them." That leadership momentum.

Not to mention anything else, as far as your posture of commanding and gathering troops is concerned, if you are not the veteran of the veterans, or the leader of the leaders, you will not be able to do it at all.I have been a squad leader, so I know better what level a squad leader is. "

Li Ping crossed his arms subconsciously and asked, "You should have noticed this a long time ago, why are you asking now?"

Li Ping's action was a typical psychological defensive action. Li Ping didn't realize what he was doing, and Wang Chengwu didn't seem to understand it either.

Wang Chengwu looked back, then continued to explain cheerfully:

"I wasn't too sure before, but after a long time, I feel more and more right, especially the way you train troops here, I am too familiar with it.

However, I haven't spoken to them.

My brother, Shi, doesn't understand these things. He knows very little about military matters. In addition, you also said that you have served in the military. He just thought you had talents in this area.

As for those few people, there is nothing more to say.After all, some people are naturally good at some things, and some people may not be able to figure it out no matter how hard they try. This is normal, and they don't think about it. "

"why?"

Li Ping was really curious.

Li Ping has always had a good impression of Wang Chengwu. He rarely talks and behaves very low-key.If it weren't for Wang Chengwu's proficiency in fighting and being useful here, it would be easy for people to overlook him.

At this time, Wang Chengwu took a deep breath, looked up at the sky with his waist knife, then looked at Li Ping calmly and sincerely and said: "I don't want to tell them that you must have your reasons, I can understand that. Life is always memorable, and I was in the military too, so I know it's good."

Li Ping lowered his arms, hesitated to speak a few times, and after a while, he just said "Thank you."

Seeing Li Ping's changing expression, Wang Chengwu said solemnly: "Brother Li, I assure you, this matter is over, and I will not tell them."

Li Ping didn't know what to say, so he clasped his fists together.

Then the two walked towards Zhao Jin's camp in silence again, the difference was that the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

After entering Zhao Jin's camp, taking advantage of Zhao Jin's people to call Li Ping's soldiers, Li Ping proposed not to let Wang Chengwu send him away again, but Wang Chengwu did not insist this time.

At this time, probably to let the two generals talk properly, they avoided the left and right, and there was no one there.

After looking around, Wang Chengwu straightened his clothes suddenly, then raised his right hand to Li Ping and performed a very standard military salute.

Li Ping habitually raised his hand in return.

After the two raised their hands and looked at each other for a moment, Li Ping withdrew his hand, and Wang Chengwu also withdrew his hand and turned to leave.

Looking at Wang Chengwu's back, Li Ping said in a moderate voice with deep eyes: "I was in the army before I came here."

Wang Chengwu, who had walked seven or eight steps away, stopped immediately, turned around and cupped his fists at Li Ping, and then left again.
