This palm was moving through the air, and the real energy was surging. Lin Yi was still a few feet away from Lin Yi, and he felt a huge shock in his soul, as if a wave had hit his mind.
"What kind of unique method of using true energy is this?"
There were stars popping up in front of Lin Yi's eyes, but in his perception, this young general only had the true energy power of the middle stage of Ruyi Realm at most. Although this method of true energy vibrating sound waves to disturb the gods was unique, the power was not enough for him.
.
What's more, although this young general's attack was crisp, he was not fighting on the battlefield and had insufficient killing intent. For him, his attack speed was also too slow.
Lin Yi has enough time.
He straightened his body, made a fist, and then aimed a punch at the palm of his hand.
The thundering sound suddenly stopped, and the sound when the fist and palm collided was not loud, because it was cushioned by the true energy, as if someone slapped the saddle hard.
Lin Yi still straightened his body and remained motionless.
He looked at the young general who took action rashly, and a hint of ridicule emerged from the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
However, Ling Yangluo's expression changed drastically.
A low cry of pain sounded.
A force that he found difficult to resist caused his body to stumble back several steps.
A tearing pain extended from his palm toward the flesh, and then there was a slight sound of bone cracking.
He felt that the metacarpal bones of his palms had been broken in many places by Lin Yi's punch.
Lin Yi slowly retracted his fist.
He didn't really like people who deliberately mocked others, but looking at Ling Yangluo's expression of seeing a ghost, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
After all, this is a practitioner of Ruyijing.
Before entering Meishan, all he had to do when facing the practitioners of Ruyijing was to wash their necks and wait to be chopped off. But now this young general wearing light armor should have his palm swollen into a bear's paw tomorrow.
Bar?
Even though he has seen too many powerful practitioners in Meishan, and even now, he is probably still most likely to be killed when faced with Pharaoh Dao's flying sword, but this feeling gradually changes.
It feels so good to become stronger.
Xue Jiu looked at Lin Yi's slowly retracted fist with a pale face.
Even though he is not a practitioner, he can still feel that compared with the two battles in Meishan, Lin Yi has obviously become much stronger since they parted ways.
Looking at the extremely stable retracted fist, he could clearly feel Lin Yi's strong self-confidence.
This made the uneasiness and tension in his heart disappear quickly and unconsciously.
The hall became suddenly quiet.
Xia Zhen looked at Lin Yi who stood up straight in disbelief. Although he knew that this sixth-year Tianjian of Nantianyuan fought extremely bravely in Meishan, in his imagination, this person's cultivation level could not exceed
There are many spirits around him who admire him.
"how?"
Lin Yi smiled slightly.
He has been in contact with famous generals in the border army since he was a child, and the influence he received is that whether it is a battle or a fight, or as small as competing with others, he must control the rhythm in his own hands and not fall into the opponent's schedule.
Many officials in the Jiankang Ministry of War who had served for a long time were originally called "Jiankang old oil men" in the mouth of the border army generals. These people were more slippery than his classmates who were good at dancing and Xia Zhen was naturally the same.
In his opinion, since it is absolutely impossible for Xia Zhen to be ordered to kill him today, and Xia Zhen and this young general, including the heavily armored sergeants outside, are no match for him, then naturally, he is required to lead him here.
Walk with each other's nose.
He simply said these two words, but his smile and the meaning in his eyes caused Ling Yanghuo, whose complexion was gradually recovering, to be inexplicably stagnant.
He looked at Lin Yi and didn't respond for a moment.
Outside the main hall of the Ministry of War, the sergeant wearing old leather armor stopped under the shade of a willow tree. He seemed a little bored at first, but all the sounds in the main hall of the Ministry of War did not escape his attention.
ear.
He listened to these sounds and easily sensed what was happening inside.
A strange color suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Powerful, after all, has a deterrent effect.
Especially when Lin Yi manifested the power of the Heaven Bearing Realm, but not even a trace of the true energy was released.
Xia Zhen took a deep breath. He knew that he wanted to embarrass this young man. It was impossible to force this young man to do something beneficial to the Xiao family. But he didn't think that a young man like Lin Yi would
The spring breeze has been proud for a long time.
Because in his opinion, Lin Yi was too sharp.
"very good."
He nodded slowly and said these two words to Lin Yi.
Since the other party did not want to be hypocritical and polite, it would be meaningless for him to resort to those official tactics. The word "very good" could have multiple meanings, and he only wanted Lin Yi to understand it.
Lin Yi also nodded slightly to him, then nodded slightly to Inspiration Yang and said, "I'm sorry."
"You have outstanding military achievements in Meishan, but you are a new recruit and have not yet become familiar with the army, so you are temporarily promoted to General of the Right Banner of the Tiece Army. The remaining military merits will be recorded first, and you will be promoted as appropriate when you have further military merits."
Xia Zhen regained his composure, and just followed the normal procedure, pushing a piece of military talisman and appointment document at hand toward Lin Yi, and then looked at Xue Jiu next to Lin Yi, "Xue Jiu, your performance in Meishan is also excellent.
Promoted to captain."
"What?"
These two sentences fell into Xue Jiu's ears, but they were even more shocking than the palm he had just admired.
He just felt his forehead buzzing.
The General of the Right Banner is the deputy commander of the Tiece Army.
Under the leadership of Tie Cejun, there were originally only four deputy commanders. Lin Yi was just a junior colonel before, but he was suddenly promoted to deputy commander?
So where did the former Right Banner General Mu En go?
This is more than an exceptional improvement.
He has been in the army for so many years, but he has never heard of a general being directly promoted from a small colonel commanding dozens of people to a right banner general commanding tens of thousands of people.
Although Tie Ce's army is a thankless coolie army, General Youqi is a serious general ranked in the eighth squad, a general who can truly unify tens of thousands.
"What are you still doing here? Why haven't you accepted the military talisman and thanked your lord?"
It wasn't until Lin Yi's voice sounded that Xue Jiu came out of his sluggish state, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and took the military talisman and the sign of acceptance of fate.
The soldier wearing old leather armor outside had been listening intently.
These words fell into his ears without missing a word.
"General of the Right Banner of Tiece Army?"
When he heard such words, the sergeant, who seemed to have just gotten rid of boredom, suddenly became truly surprised.
He rubbed his hands, stretched out two fingers to rub his eyebrows, and then looked towards the door not far ahead.
The figures of Lin Yi and Xue Jiu soon appeared in his field of vision.
There is a natural connection between special people.
A strange aura appeared in Lin Yi's perception. He was slightly startled and noticed the sergeant under the shade of the tree.
This is a practitioner.
Although there was no trace of real energy fluctuations in the soldier's body at this time, he could feel that the blood and energy in the soldier's body flowed much slower than that of ordinary warriors, and he could feel that there was a powerful force hiding in the body.
inside this soldier's body.
This sergeant looked to be in his thirties, but his face had a strong air of weathering.
This meaning of wind and frost comes from having seen too many lives and deaths, being used to many permanent separations, and from the deep exhaustion and boredom in my heart.
Lin Yi was no stranger to the meaning of wind and frost. It was the same meaning on those veterans of the frontier army who had been fighting for a long time.
The sergeant looked at Lin Yi, who was looking at him, and thought about the young man's behavior inside. He couldn't help but smile, and then said softly: "Congratulations."
Lin Yi had already put away the military talisman and appointment certificate at this time. Looking at the sergeant's kind smile, he knew more clearly that this sergeant was not only a practitioner, but also a practitioner with good cultivation. He must be standing here.
, and you can already clearly hear the sounds inside.
"I am Lin Yi, born in the sixth year of Tianjian of Nantianyuan in Jiankang. I am now the general of the right banner of Tiece Army."
Lin Yi had a natural affection for these sergeants who had been fighting for many years. He also smiled slightly, nodded to this man in courtesy, and said, "You haven't asked for advice?"
"Wei Guanxing."
The sergeant also nodded to Lin Yi and said: "Mingwei Army Beigu Protector."
"Mingwei Beigu Army?"
Lin Yi and Xue Jiu were both stunned.
In the previous dynasty, there were four major frontier armies, called the Four Expeditions (Conquer the East, Conquer the West, Conquer the South, Conquer the North). Among these four conquests, because the northern dynasty was the greatest threat, the Army Conquering the North was considered a real force in the previous dynasty.
The main frontier army.
Now, in order to prevent the high-ranking generals of the border army from having too much power, the Southern Dynasty canceled all the previous four expeditions. All the border armies were divided into five divisions: Yongwu, Zhuangwei, Xuanwei, Mingwei and Dingyuan. The previous expeditions to the East and the Expeditions
Nanze has been included in the local Zhenwu Army.
But among them, Mingwei and Dingyuan are the real old frontier troops among the northern frontier troops who can fight and often fight.
The army previously commanded by Lin Yi's father Lin Wangbei was divided into these two groups, and some were assigned to the Xuanwei Army.
Although Meishan is probably the battlefield with the highest concentration of practitioners since the conflict between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Lin Yi also knows very well that the battles that really determine the life and death of the two dynasties are on the northwest border.
Naturally, it is impossible for those northern frontier troops with the most combat experience to be transferred all the way to the Meishan area.
And now this is the main office of the Ministry of War. If officials are either promoted or dismissed, why would a general from the northern frontier army appear here?
The rank of Protector is neither too big nor too small in the army. He is ranked in the fourth class and can command an army of thousands of people according to his military rank. However, among the border troops, he is a cavalry general who usually leads hundreds of soldiers.
Yu Jingqi protects some key places in the formation, such as the location of the main general, the key practitioners in the army, or the location of important supplies.
"I was previously ordered to go to Rongzhou to help train troops, and that's why I came here."
The sergeant named Wei Guanxing noticed Lin Yi and Xue Jiu's suspicion, smiled sheepishly, and said, "I did something wrong when I came here."
"Did you commit something?"
Lin Yi looked at him, "Then this isn't a promotion?"
Immediately, Lin realized something and blurted out, "Is it possible that he was punished by Tie Cejun?"
"It's not such a coincidence."
Wei Guanxing burst into laughter.
Seeing that this fourth-class official had no airs, and that he was now a school captain, Xue Jiubian couldn't help but asked softly: "What did you do? Are you in trouble?"
"This is really troublesome."
Wei Guanxing was about to speak in detail.
"What kind of place do you think this is, chatting here?" At this moment, the heavy-armored sergeant behind Lin Yi and Xue Jiu shouted sharply.
Lin Yi and Wei Guanxing both laughed dumbly.
We had never known each other before, but now we actually regarded the entrance of the main office of the Ministry of War as a tea shop and started chatting here.
"Then I'll take care of things first. Maybe we can meet again in the future."
Wei Guanxing bowed to Lin Yi, then smiled and said, "But as you just said, it's rare to meet old friends again. Tie Cejun seems to be a good place to go."
"Tie Cejun is something that everyone should avoid, so don't let yourself miss the mark." Xue Jiu said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Wei Guanxing had a good temper. He laughed and bowed to Xue Jiuye as if thanking him. Then without saying a word, he said goodbye and walked towards the front hall.
When Xue Jiu left the military camp in the south of the city, he felt as if he was in a dream, his heart was still beating like a drum, and he stretched out his hand to wipe sweat from time to time.
"Xue Lieutenant, isn't it just a few levels up? As far as I know, even a deputy commander like me, let alone a lieutenant in the Tie Ce Army, cannot avoid going into battle to kill. It doesn't seem to make any difference. Why are you so nervous?"
Yi looked at his appearance and couldn't help but tease him.
"Master Lin!"
Lin Yi was teasing, but Xue Jiu suddenly became solemn and said seriously: "From now on, I can't call you the same as in Meishan. Your rank is already very important. If you go by the past, you may lose your majesty. Sir
You are a practitioner and you come from the Jiankang General Sect. From your point of view, there may be no difference in how many levels you go up, but to us, the difference is huge. First of all, the military pay is very different."
"grown ups."
Looking at Lin Yi who was slightly startled, Xue Jiu said respectfully and solemnly: "Ordinary sergeants and practitioners are completely different existences. Forgive me for being offended. For ordinary sergeants like us, there are two most important points.
One is military pay, and the other is face. But sometimes it’s okay to lose some face for military pay.”
Lin Yi's brows frowned slightly.
Xue Jiu's expression also made him become serious.
He began to realize that even though he was in the middle of the Jiankang family, the people he knew and the world he was exposed to seemed completely different from people like Xue Jiu.
"You truly regard us as your own brothers, so I will tell you the truth." Xue Jiu looked at Lin Yi, who had a serious look on his face, and said softly: "My lord, there is a completely different difference between fighting a war as an individual and leading an army. The most important thing in a war is to maintain a stable morale.
, If you don’t know what the people below are thinking, I’m afraid”
Xue Jiu knew that Lin Yi was smart, so when he said this, he stopped talking.
Lin Yi nodded, but silently thought in his heart, "Military pay and face"
