"Why do I feel that something is wrong? It doesn't look like we are being promoted, but it seems like we are being arrested and tortured."
Lin Yi followed Xue Jiu to the military camp in the south of the city, but Rong Yi did not follow him. Rong Yi was not officially registered as a member of the Tiece Army. It is normal for some practitioners in the army to bring their valets with them, but these valets cannot receive military pay.
.There were not many people in the military camp in the south of the city at this time. There were only a few hundred or dozens of people patrolling in formation. There were only a dozen or so sergeants standing at the door of the main office of the Ministry of War as Xue Jiu said. However, these sergeants at the door of the main office of the Ministry of War were all physically and mentally ill.
Wearing heavy armor, his eyes rolled around in the gaps of the heavy armor with a cold light.
These sergeants looked at him and Xue Jiu with cold and stern eyes like bloodthirsty wolves.
Lin Yishi has already seen the big scene, and even fought against the kind of Zhenyuan heavy armor that only had a hundred or dozens of pieces in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In his opinion, this kind of ordinary heavy armor is just a matter of a mace. He
Naturally, he was joking casually and didn't take it seriously, but Xue Jiu was different. There were many generals in the army who were beheaded for no reason. When he heard Lin Yi's words, his face suddenly turned pale and he couldn't help it.
He said softly: "Master Lin, please don't joke."
"You look like a gangster in Meishan, but you look like a different person when you get here."
Lin Yi glanced at him and said, "Aren't you afraid of losing the prestige of Tie Cejun?"
Xue Jiuzhi shook his head, "What kind of prestige? When did our Tiece Army have any prestige? At most, the military pay is slightly higher than that of the Zhenwu Army, but not as good as the border army."
"Who is here? You are talking too much here. Do you want to cause trouble?"
At this moment, one of these heavily armored sergeants shouted loudly.
The sound was like beating a drum, causing Lin Yi and Xue Jiu's eardrums to ring slightly.
"Fate Palace Realm?"
Lin Yi was slightly startled, but he was a little surprised. The sergeant's true energy aura in the heavy armor was not weak, and it was obviously different from the true energy aura of Huangya Realm.
"Is it true that cultivators are so ordinary? Even the heavily armored sergeants on duty here are cultivators of this level?" He couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Of course he didn't know that this was just Xia Zhen, the person in charge inside, who wanted to undermine his prestige. These heavily armored sergeants were all masters in this military camp.
Everyone in the court talks about their origins, and the disputes between various parties and clans have been going on since ancient times. Xue Jiu is the most common veteran of the Tie Ce Army. Of course, it is impossible for him to find out Xia Zhen’s origins, but Xia Zhen’s actual origins
At Sanwei Academy, Sanwei Academy was an important school established by the Ministry of War in southern Yuzhou. Many officials of the Ministry of War were selected from Sanwei Academy. Sanwei Academy also had a close relationship with Xiao Yan, the emperor of the Southern Dynasties at this time, because in the previous dynasty
At that time, Xiao Yan served as the chief teacher of Sanwei Academy. Later, he served as the dean of Sanwei Academy and had connections with the Xiao family. In particular, some students who were originally from poor backgrounds would receive funding from the Xiao family, and these people were used to treating them as
The Xiao family is called the main family.
At that time, Xiao Yan probably did not expect that he would rebel and become emperor in the future, but the management he did back then did help him a lot later.
Lin Yi heard from his father Lin Wangbei that when Xiao Yan rebelled, he almost drove his troops straight into Jiankang for a long time. In addition to reaching a consensus with some major dignitaries, the generals of the Zhenwu Army in major places had also been replaced by Xiao in advance.
Yan people.
The biggest reason why Xiao Yan was able to do this in advance, apart from the fact that the previous emperor was fatuous and did not notice it at all, was that many officials in the Ministry of War at that time were from Sanwei Academy. After some transfer orders, the Military Supervision Office did not have time to respond.
, those generals who were loyal to the previous emperor had already been replaced. By the time they reacted, it was already too late. Xiao Yan's Liangzhou Army had quickly taken control of the Jiankang area.
Lin Yi was still muttering and wondering that among the sergeants on duty there were practitioners of the Ming Palace realm, but Xue Jiu was pounding in his heart. He took out a document from his sleeve and handed it over, "Tie Cejun Lin Yi, Xue Jiu is here
Debriefing.”
The heavily armored sergeant who made the noise did not respond. He just stretched out his hand to take the document and glanced at it roughly, but his eyes wandered over Lin Yi and Xue Jiu for a long time.
Lin Yi only felt that this man was bluffing, but Xue Jiu felt that where this man's gaze fell was as if a poisonous snake had crawled across it, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
When the heavily armored sergeant nodded and indicated that they could go in, Xue Jiu was already covered in cold sweat.
"As long as I'm here, you don't have to worry about anything." Lin Yi could sense all the changes in Xue Jiu without looking at him. For some reason, when he thought of what Xue Jiu had said before about when Tie Cejun would be so majestic, he thought
He frowned unconsciously.
Xue Jiu was stunned for a moment, feeling that there was an unspeakable meaning in Lin Yi's understatement. However, when he turned to look at Lin Yi, Lin Yi had already walked in front of him and entered the front hall.
Xia Zhen, wearing a green brocade official uniform, sat in the middle. On the large ebony case in front of him were placed various military symbols and corresponding documents. The tip of a cinnabar stick was particularly blood red.
Sitting on the seat next to him was the young general wearing black light armor.
This young general is called Ling Yanghuo. He joins the army as a supervisor and is affiliated with the Military Supervision Office. However, his background is almost the same as Xia Zhen. He is a student of Sanwei Academy, and he also received favors from the Xiao family. When Xiao Yan started his army,
, he was still a small school in the Northwest Frontier Army, and his official rank was almost the same as that of Lin Yi in Meishan. However, after the change to the new dynasty, he was promoted successively in the Frontier Army, and after four years in Tianjian, he was transferred to the Military Supervision Department.
He naturally knew that such a speed of promotion was inseparable from the promotion of Sanwei Academy.
When he saw Lin Yi walking in, the man frowned and his eyes fell on Lin Yi like cold lightning.
Lin Yi intuitively felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. It was just that when he was not with Xue Jiu, he did not feel that he was a member of Tie Cejun. But now when he was with Xue Jiu, he felt more and more that he was dissatisfied with his own.
Identity is somewhat neglected.
"Tie Cejun Lin Yi, Xue Jiu!"
He glanced at the two people in the empty hall and said this directly without saying a word.
"Are you Lin Yi, the primary school commander of Tie Cejun?"
Xia Zhen raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Lin Yi, and said calmly.
"yes."
Lin Yi looked at him expressionlessly without moving his eyelids.
Xia Zhen frowned immediately.
He didn't know how many people he had seen in the army, but Lin Yi's glance made his heart skip a beat and made him feel inexplicably flustered.
How is this possible?
He didn't know how he could have such a feeling. He couldn't figure it out for a moment and didn't say anything right away.
At this moment, another sergeant came to the door of the military camp outside.
This sergeant was wearing old leather armor that had been damaged in many places. He was over thirty years old, and perhaps because he had not trimmed his hair for a long time, the strands of hair looked particularly messy, no different from weeds.
After the sergeant entered the barracks, he also came towards the main office of the Ministry of War. However, when he saw the heavily armored sergeants standing outside the main office of the Ministry of War, he was stunned for a moment. Then he stopped and sensed that there were people in the main office of the Ministry of War.
There are already people.
"You are just a junior colonel now. I am an officer in the seventh squadron of the main office. You don't even show courtesy when you see me. Who is your senior officer? It seems that you have never been taught etiquette?"
Lin Yi said.
"Yes, I have met my lord. As for the senior generals, I have not seen them since I came out of Meishan. I don't even know who my senior generals are now." Lin Yi bowed slightly and saluted him.
Xia Zhen's brows furrowed deeply.
For some reason, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart became more and more intense.
This young man behaved so calmly and so impeccably that it seemed difficult for him to pick an excuse.
"What a magnanimous person! I just don't know what my cultivation level is and whether I can be worthy of being a general in Tie Ce's army!"
At this moment, Ling Yanghuo, who was lowered by Xia Zhen, suddenly stood up, said this, then took a bow and slapped Lin Yi's chest with one palm.
With a bang, there seemed to be a muffled thunder in the hall.
(I originally wanted to write this chapter as a four-thousand-word chapter, but my old hands have problems and I can only write so much at such a late hour. I will work harder during the day tomorrow. I will definitely write the next chapter with four-thousand words. I promise with a clenched fist.
