Liutong County is certainly a small place compared to Jiankang.
Although the people in many small places are not necessarily simple, the environment they live in is correspondingly simple.
In particular, this kind of county is not the center of rule and power. During the changes between the old and new dynasties, Jiankang City has undergone earth-shaking changes, but in many places, not even a few officials have been replaced.
From what Lin Yijian saw in Kangcheng in the past, all his classmates were always forming cliques for selfish reasons and thinking about climbing up the ladder. That was because there were too many big shots in Jiankang City, or they just wanted to get the favor of some big shots.
, it’s easy to reach the sky in one step.
He can understand the thinking of many classmates. If you don't try your best to climb up, other classmates may climb up. So how should you deal with it in the future?
However, for these young people in the local area, they may only spend their lives in the local area or in the frontier army. Even some mediocre officials in Jiankang City are very knowledgeable to local officials.
Big shot.
They are so far away from real power that they are out of reach, so young people in many places are less eager for quick success and less snobbish.
Compared with the young talents in Jiankang City, they will appear more immature, more idealistic, and sometimes have a passion that others think is stupid.
This is the case for these six students from the same college.
Lin Yi felt that no matter what, their ideas were great, but in their eyes, Lin Yi was even more amazing.
In addition to Lin Yi's heartbreaking performance in the battle, there was also Lin Yi's physical strength and strength.
These students were very curious about the big deerskin bag Lin Yi was carrying.
This deerskin bag was obviously very heavy, especially because several students were embarrassed to say that because Lin Yi's footprints were deeper than the others, it was easier for them to follow the traces.
However, Lin Yi, carrying such a weight, walked even more easily than them.
These students are unable to sense Qi, have no talent for cultivation, and are not practitioners, but they also have a rough idea of the power realm of practitioners.
In their view, even the practitioners of Ruyijing are already exhausted after carrying such a weight and traveling so many miles.
However, Lin Yi didn't seem to break even a drop of sweat.
Thinking back to the scene of Lin Yi almost breaking the shields of the Northern Barbarians with his previous fighting prowess, they admired Lin Yi even more.
These students actually wanted to know what Lin Yi was carrying. Curiousness is the nature of young people, but because they had just joined the Tiece Army, they were not familiar with these sergeants, and they had to manage senior generals during this kind of march.
What kind of tie they were wearing was not in accordance with the rules, so these students resisted and did not ask.
It is not appropriate to chat during the march.
And although Lin Yi's face looked calm, his heart was very heavy.
They had already begun to enter the unnamed hillside area on the map.
Tall cypresses grow on this hillside, and the ground is covered with thick, soft needles. The cypress trees are very tall, and this hillside is on the sunny side. Although the light is not bright due to the branches and leaves, the ground
It's very dry and the air is very good.
It's easy to relax in a place like this.
Fallen leaves fell from the branches and drifted down in the quiet forest.
There seemed to be no one, but Lin Yi soon felt the sound of steady breathing that was lighter than falling leaves.
The breathing is long and peaceful, with a certain unique rhythm.
This is obviously a practitioner.
So he raised his hand and made a gesture to Tie Cejun behind him.
Tie Cejun stopped.
"Tie Cejun?" At this moment, a voice sounded from where he felt it.
Lin Yidao: "Yes."
He was still vigilant, but the Tiece Army sergeants behind him were even more vigilant than him, and the mechanisms of the arm crossbows on their arms had even been opened.
"Suwei infantry, Tanshe tribe Xusu."
The man's voice was soft, and as footsteps sounded, a general wearing gold silk armor appeared in front of them.
The general raised his hand towards Lin Yi and others.
He was holding a talisman in his hand. The talisman was made of brass and had a coiled tango snake engraved on its surface.
"This is the vanguard general of the Suwei Infantry Army, the second squad general." Xue Jiu immediately reminded Lin Yi softly.
The Suwei Army belongs to the Central Army and is one of the armies under the personal control of the emperor. Although the number of troops in command may not be as large as that of local generals like Gao Ce, their official ranks are much higher.
Lin Yi bowed and saluted, and then announced his identity.
"Are you Lin Yi?"
But before he said anything, the general looked at him with a faint smile and said: "The perception is good."
Lin Yi was a little surprised, "It's Lin Yi."
"It's not easy to get here safely."
Xu Su didn't say much. After saying this, he motioned to Lin Yi and Tie Cejun to follow him.
After walking less than a hundred steps, Lin Yi was shocked.
Suddenly he heard many sounds.
There were many and mixed sounds. It felt like in his perception, there was nothing and no one in front of him, but suddenly, there were more than a hundred people in front of him, as if they appeared out of thin air.
There is no problem with his perception, so what is the problem?
"It's a vein stone."
Xu Su felt Lin Yi's surprise. He smiled slightly and said, "There are many vein stones scattered in this valley. These vein stones can affect perception. The sounds inside cannot be transmitted very far."
"Porphyry stone?"
Lin Yi was stunned. He had read a lot of miscellaneous books. After hearing what Xu Suyi said, he remembered that there were records of such strange stones in some books.
It is said that this kind of strange stone was also produced in Wenbi Peak in Tong County in the previous dynasty. This kind of strange stone is porous and has some meridian-like textures on its surface, which can allow sound to spread within a certain area.
Tong County is not far from Jiankang. This kind of strange stone is generally considered to be a lake stone, but it is more than half of the Southern Liang Dynasty away from Jiankang. It is unexpected that there is such a strange stone here.
After following Xu Su for dozens of steps, Lin Yi's eyes suddenly brightened.
In this forest, there is a flat open space nearly a hundred feet in diameter.
There are no big cypress trees in this open space, only some short shrubs, but jagged and gray rocks mixed with gray and green can be seen everywhere in the grass and shrubs.
These strange rocks have different expressions. Some are as small as a fist but as large as a snail. They are all gray-white stone bodies covered with blue veins.
These green veins are still protruding strip by strip on the surface of the gray-white rock, and it really looks like blue veins are exposed.
In this forest clearing, there were more than a hundred Southern Dynasty sergeants staying, and at a glance, most of them were wounded, wearing different clothes and coming from different armies.
Except for some sergeants who were on guard, everyone else was taking care of the wounded, the most conspicuous among them were several girls wearing light yellow clothes.
"Even students from Xianjuyuan are here?"
Lin Yi was also greatly surprised.
Xianjuyuan was the most famous women's convent in the entire Southern Dynasties. Many dignitaries also sent their daughters to study. Half of the female students in Xianjuyuan majored in ritual music and music, and half studied medicine.
In the previous dynasty, women could be employed as music officers, but women could not be employed as medical officers.
However, after Xiao Yan ascended the throne and changed to a new dynasty, many old systems were abolished. Now Jiankang also has many female medical officers.
There is a female doctor named Xiao Zhen in Xianjuyuan. She happens to be from the royal family, and her medical skills are recognized as the best in the Southern Dynasties. In just six years, Xianjuyuan has had many outstanding female medical officers, and there are many practitioners among them.
.
At this time, Lin Yi could feel that one of the female medical officers was also a practitioner and had reached the Life Palace realm.
"General Xu, if there is any important military information, should I inform you directly, or should I?"
Lin Yi didn't take a closer look. Since so many wounded people were accommodated here, it meant that this should be the foothold of many armies passing by, and many military information should be conveyed quickly through here. He was worried about the safety of Chen Baowuan or Xiao Shufei, so he
asked for a moment.
"General Tunqi Duguyu has been ordered to leave. This place is temporarily under my control." Xu Su glanced at him and said, "Just report to me directly."
