Chapter 19 We Don't Need the Truth

Five veterans who had survived many battles watched the red beard and Zhou Mo drink a cup of sacrificial offering. When the alcohol dissipated and the smell of the wine drifted out of the window with the wind, they spoke.

"The Wilderness Tavern really lives up to its reputation. Even though we are tens of thousands of miles away, we have heard that drinking a cup of the wilderness rests in the Wilderness Tavern and you will have no regrets in this life. Even though you didn't drink a cup of sacrifice just now, just smelling the aroma of the wine is enough to make you intoxicated." Zhou Mo felt very comfortable listening to such a compliment in a hoarse and rough voice that belonged to a veteran.

"Everyone who has never been in the wilderness, drinking the cup of Yusheng in the wilderness is always a bit unfair, but the wilderness tavern is not just a kind of fine wine in the wilderness. You are all men on the battlefield, dare to drink a cup of tears of heroes?"

Zhou Mo raised his brows, arrogant and reckless, with a smile on the corner of his mouth that was provocative.

With a bang, five veterans slapped the table at the same time.

"There is no wine that men on the battlefield dare not drink, not to mention that this wine is called Hero Tears, and it was supposed to enter our stomachs."

"I'm afraid your wine will tarnish the name of a hero!"

……

The five veterans spoke in unison, expressing their fearlessness.

Zhou Mo just laughed, and then took out five large bowls from the red bearded uncle's cabinet, all of which were as thick as a cow's head.

"This wine should not be drunk in a wine glass, it should be drunk in a big bowl."

The five veterans shouted hello in unison:

"I just happened to behead more than ten thousand people, and I returned the victory. It's just a drink of victory!"

Zhou Mo nodded with a smile, then took out a new glass and started mixing the wine.

Use the hottest Laobaigan as the base, add coarse grain shochu, highland barley new wine, aged fruit brew, and add a few drops of miscellaneous grain mother liquor.

The color of the wine is dim yellow, stained with blood, like the dusk on the battlefield.

A glass of booze filled five large bowls.

"For meritorious deeds on the battlefield, all good men, drink and win!" Zhou Mo toasted loudly.

The veteran's blood surged from Zhou Mo's words, his face was flushed, and he raised his big bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

The entrance is bitter, extremely bitter, bitter to the heart.Then it is spicy, extremely spicy, so spicy that it burns in the mouth.

This wine is not a hero's liver and gallbladder, so it cannot enter the stomach.

The five veterans present, all worthy of being men on the battlefield, swallowed the wine without changing their expressions.

The abdomen is soft, extremely soft, in the village of red powder, soft and red, but like a gentle knife, it scrapes away all the internal organs.

The smell of alcohol surged up, smashing the gentle knife, dousing the fire in the throat, and finally mixed with the bitterness in the mouth, which was still extremely bitter.

The five veterans kept their mouths shut, the leader with a hoarse and rough voice, his tiger eyes were red, and there were tears hidden behind him. In all battles on the battlefield, success is bitter, defeat is also bitter, and heroes also have tears.

"Choke lang lang!" The five big bowls were thrown to the ground at the same time, otherwise he couldn't vent his pain.

Zhou Mo sighed: "It's a pity that it's a wooden bowl, so it won't break!"

Looking up at the five veterans with tears in the corners of their eyes, but staring at tiger eyes, red eyes, and desperately refusing to let tears flow, Zhou Mo said again:
"Drink hero wine, and have hero tears, so don't act like a child, do those secretive things, talk about things, ask questions if you want, why should a good man be so secretive?"

In a word, the five veterans who refused to shed tears wanted to hide their faces and escape here, but the military order was in hand, so they had to do it for them. The leader slapped the table and said loudly:

"Okay, I waited for the man on the battlefield to ask a bartender to teach me a lesson, but you are right, I wait for a good man and never hide it. I waited this time just to ask a question."

Zhou Mo stretched out his hand, motioning for please.

"I don't care about the rest, I just want to know how the second prince died?"

After one sentence of questioning, the five veterans all stared at Zhou Mo with tiger eyes, and the tiger-wolf spirit that they had cultivated in the rest of their lives flourished.

Zhou Mo frowned, then looked at the five people for a while, as if thinking carefully, and then asked back after a long while:
"How do you want the second prince to die?"

The five veterans stagnated, and they all looked at the leader.

The leading veteran lowered his eyes slightly, and his voice was no longer as heroic as before.

"Since you have asked this question, you should understand that although the second prince is dead, the matter is not over yet, and it is far from over. The second prince is a flag. Although the flag of the military has been placed for 50 years, it is The flag is flying all the time, the second prince can die, but the flag of the army cannot fall."

Zhou Mo was silent again, he really didn't want to be drawn into this vortex, but unfortunately he was already in it now, as the last living person the Second Prince had seen before his death, Zhou Mo was already in the center of the vortex.

Seeing that Zhou Mo was silent, the leading veteran thought that Zhou Mo had something to hide, and said loudly:
"You don't have to be afraid. Although it's just us five veterans who don't come here, behind us are the five armies of the Otto Empire, the Wolf Saber, the Bear Armor, the Dragon Spear, the Lion Heart, and the Tiger Hammer. The 700 million strong soldiers of the Reese Empire were defeated, and with this big victory as the bottom line, no one would dare to touch a single hair of the people the five armies wanted to protect, even if they were in the black prison of the Military Intelligence Bureau."

Having said that, Zhou Mo understood why Longbottom said that Al Lionheart would be fine in a short time, but he knew that he was different from Al Lionheart. In the novel, he is just a lonely sampan. If he wants to survive, he can only use his best efforts to stay away from the vortex before the monstrous waves rise.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Mo smiled helplessly. If he also had a founding father at this time, the backstage of the powerful fiefdom duke, he would be able to ride the wind and waves and accomplish a lot, what a pity!

"It's not a question of being afraid or not. It's a question of a person's quality. I say what I see. I don't know how the second prince died. I just know that I had the courage to kick the scarlet armor in front of me." , the second prince is already dead!"

Zhou Mo raised his eyelids and looked straight at the five veterans.Very righteous, very upright and unyielding, very honest, very principled, but if the people in the military knew that the second prince actually died at his hands, Zhou Mo would have been ripped apart and beaten to ashes long ago.

But I have to say that Zhou Moshi's emperor-level acting skills are still very deceptive. At least the five veterans in front of him believed in his quality, and each of them puffed up their chests, which can be regarded as their recognition of his character.

Zhou Mo thought it was all right, what else could five ordinary veterans who were not even Black Iron Life do?Unexpectedly, the leading veteran suddenly said:
"Zhou Mo, the meritorious decapitation obtained with blood and sweat in exchange for hundreds of battles has been swallowed lightly by those moth-like old nobles. I believe that the person who can brew the wine of hero's tears will not be a person without a conscience. people."

"Who is guarding the border silently, who is shedding blood for the country, who is making those old nobles sing and dance, and who is saving countless ordinary people from the flames of war. It is the army, the army of the Otto Empire. Unless it is fulfilled, if the interests of military nobles are violated, then when the next war comes, who will fight the enemy bravely, and who will fight desperately?"

"We soldiers, as long as we exchange merit with our flesh and blood, whoever stands in front of us is the enemy!"

Zhou Mo listened silently, what he said was very reasonable and admirable, and the last sentence was even more convincing with the backing of the five major legions.

"Then why are only five ordinary veterans here? I think among the five major legions, not to mention the physical life, even the mysterious life is not a big man!"

Zhou Mo asked back. He was very surprised about this. Even His Majesty the Emperor sent the royal family enshrined over, and the army that kept saying that the Second Prince was the banner came, but only five ordinary lives came.

The leading veteran gave Zhou Mo a strange look, and explained:
"Don't you know the military regulations of the empire? It is tantamount to treason to leave the country at the level of the captain of the imperial army and above. This is already outside the border."

Zhou Mo curled his lips, which stipulated that he, a bartender, must know the imperial military regulations.

"Zhou Mo, we don't need you to do anything, you just need to do nothing and know nothing!"

The leading veteran said so, which means to tell Zhou Mo that you should know nothing about the second prince's death.

After a little distraction, Zhou Mo knew the military's plan, and took advantage of the second prince's death to make a big fuss, pinning the blame on a certain deep-rooted old nobleman, and with the prestige of a big victory, overwhelmed the old nobleman.

With the strength of the military, as long as Zhou Mo, the last witness, does not speak, it will be easy to make this matter an iron case.Zhou Mo sniffled, as expected of the army, but he is ruthless, no matter what he says, he is a prince, and he will be used by you even after he dies.

Seeing Zhou Mo's expression, the leading veteran thought he was moved, and immediately said:

"Don't worry about what you said to the Military Intelligence Bureau. The confession from the Military Intelligence Bureau, if it is true, it will be true. If it is false, it will not be true. Who doesn't know the methods of the Military Intelligence Bureau to extract confessions? , let a servant admit to adultery|adultery can do it, let alone others?"

Zhou Mo was startled, the Military Intelligence Bureau has this trick?It's amazing to get the servant to admit that he has committed adultery!

But Zhou Mo still shook his head and said:
"I'm sorry, the truth is the truth. I have told the truth about what I saw. There is no deceit. I am also sorry for the fact that the soldiers did not get the merit they deserve, but this is not something I can influence. I I can only say what I have seen, and I can only promise what I can do, so I am very sorry, but I cannot help you.”

The clean and tidy refusal pulled his lonely sampan away from the center of the vortex to the greatest extent, with only one purpose, to save his life.

Hearing Zhou Mo's words, the faces of the veterans turned cold, and traces of cold murderous aura pervaded like a golden dagger.

The red-bearded man's face darkened, and the bright red sun on the center of his brows lit up, and the air began to smell of sulfur that can only be found in underground magma.

The veterans were very sensible, their murderous aura was restrained at the same time, and they sincerely apologized to the red beard.

"I'm very sorry, Your Highness Macon Smaug, we absolutely have no intention of being your enemy."

Then he said to Zhou Mo:

"Zhou Mo, you have to think clearly, since you are involved in it, if you are not on our side, you are on their side, are you sure you want to be our enemy?"

Zhou Mo smiled wryly, rubbed his face, and said just now:

"I don't intend to stand on any side. I just want to take a look inside the empire, feel the prosperity that my father described, and support myself with my own craftsmanship. If it is possible to marry a beautiful woman and have a few lovely children, when you When I came back from the great victory, I stood on the side of the road and threw you a few bunches of flowers to express my respect. When the frames of the great nobles passed by, I cast a few envious eyes, and then went home to live my little life. You said that you just want the feats you exchanged with your own flesh and blood, and I just want to create a life with my own hands."

"I'm not in anyone's way, and I don't want to be in anyone's way, I mean, you understand?"

The veteran looked at Zhou Mo with complicated eyes.

I was speechless for a while, when the veterans left, the leader said something:
"Zhou Mo, I'm sorry."

With a bang, the solid wood door closed, but Zhou Mo's hairs all stood on end.

Because he knew why the veteran had to say sorry to him.
