Looking at the foot of the mountain, there is a large-scale mountain village. A huge flag with the word "Liang" printed on it hangs listlessly on the top of the flagpole.
That is the army stationed here in Liangjing. Among them, the frontier army is the main force, followed by the city protection army.
At the foot of the mountain, a corner of a mountain range less than a hundred miles away belongs to Liangjing Control.
It was there that ore suspected to be ethyl ink was discovered.
Their arrival attracted the attention of both parties in the mine, and the Liangjing army immediately dispatched a ten-man waiting team to investigate the situation.
"Who is coming?" the leader of the waiting cavalry shouted mightily.
Xia Qingchen came closer and was taking out his identity token and the commander's letter of appointment.
Fang Cuihong behind her exclaimed: "General Li of the Eastern Orthodox Army?"
She realized that she had made a mistake and immediately covered her mouth, but Xia Qingchen had already heard it and couldn't help but raise her eyes in surprise to look at the waiting captain in front of her.
During the military parade that day, a Qianxiao Cavalry regiment in the Eastern Army made a mistake in its performance, which angered the commander-in-chief. The general of the Eastern Army was dismissed from his post on the spot and sent to the mines.
No one knew about such an incident that shocked the city guard.
Unexpectedly, he used to be a great general, but now he has been reduced to a captain of cavalry.
When General Li heard this, he lowered his head and sighed slightly, and said dejectedly: "It turns out he is an old member of the city guard army. Which one of you is the leader?"
Xia Qingchen stepped forward on horseback, handed over his identity token and command letter, and said, "General Li will take a look."
After General Li saw it, he got off his horse, bowed to Xia Qingchen, and said: "Li Linye, a humble official, please see Mr. Xia!"
How could someone as down and out as he be qualified to receive the honorific title of General from Xia Qingchen?
Xia Qingchen sighed slightly, it was a pity that a general had fallen due to an accident during the military exercise that day.
He didn't quite understand why the commander-in-chief punished him so harshly.
How much does it cost to train a general? How many resources must be sacrificed?
As a result, it is really unreasonable to dismiss someone just because of a trivial matter.
As a commander-in-chief, he should have a calm mind that is stronger than anyone else and should not act out of anger.
However, the matter has reached this point, and it is useless to say more.
"General Li, get up and take us to meet the leader of the city guard in charge of that corner of the mine." Xia Qingchen also stood up and dismounted to show respect for the former general.
The Yunlan regiment all dismounted and walked. Only Alliance Leader Ouyang and a few others were still sitting on the beast cart and did not bother to get down.
Li Linye looked at it and looked deeply at Xia Qingchen, with a hint of emotion flashing in his old eyes.
Since he was demoted to the mines, his old friends have moved away one after another.
The family even sent a message saying that many relatives who moved around frequently were in trouble and they had cut off all contact with the Li family.
After arriving at the mine, he was even more despised by the city guards.
Unexpectedly, Xia Qingchen, who had never interacted with him before, still respected him.
"The leader of the local city defense army is a brigadier general with a violent personality. If there is a conflict, you should not confront him head-on." Li Linye expressed his goodwill.
Brigadier general?
Currently, there are no brigade generals in the city defense army.
There is a high probability that the man in front of him will succeed Li Linye and become the general of the Eastern Army.
"What is the name of this brigadier general?" Xia Qingchen asked.
Li Linye said: "My surname is Zhou."
After a pause, Li Linye added: "He used to be Yu Guitian's boss, and he has stayed here since the mine was captured."
Hearing this, Xia Qingchen narrowed his eyes, Yu Guitian's boss?
There are rumors among the people that when the mine was suddenly captured by the Zhongyun Realm, it was someone from within the Yu family who was at work.
Zhao Yunshi also admitted frankly that the decline of the mine had a close relationship with Yu Guitian.
However, there was no detailed evidence at the time, so the matter was left alone.
This brigadier general named Zhou was here back then, so he is highly suspicious.
"Thank you for informing me." Xia Qingchen knew what was going on, and led the Yunlan battle group to escort the three senior officials of the Weapon Alliance to the stronghold.
The cottage is divided into two.
On the left is the Frontier Corps, which is huge, with 800,000 troops stationed here.
They are the main force against the Zhongyun Realm army in the mine.
The city guard corps on the other side has much fewer troops. There is only one Wan Xiaoqi, or about 10,000 troops.
The remaining foothills of a hundred miles are patrolled and guarded by these ten thousand people on a daily basis.
The men and horses of the two legions did not interfere with each other and did not interact with each other.
To be precise, it was a large army from the Frontier Corps, which disdained to interact with the Wanxiao Cavalry Regiment under the City Guard Corps.
They arrived at the military camp on the right, and a Wan Xiaoqi camp came into view.
Outside the camp, an enthusiastic middle-aged man with a fat mustache stood smiling.
When he smiled, his eyes almost narrowed into slits, and the light could be seen in the slits.
"On behalf of the Huangzitian Regiment of the City Guard Army, Zhou Mou warmly welcomes the leader of the Qi Alliance!" Zhou Bendao stepped forward and bowed to salute.
Different from the battle group of Qian Xiaoqi, the team controlled by Wan Xiaoqi uses "Heavenly Group" as the level and is distinguished by color.
The Huangzi Heavenly Regiment is an independent 10,000-person Heavenly Regiment under the city guard army, and is under the personal jurisdiction of the commander-in-chief.
It can be said that the Huangzi Tiantuan is the commander-in-chief's trusted team.
Ouyang Yan dismounted and said expressionlessly: "Business matters, where is the Yi Mo mine you dug? Let's take a look."
She was too lazy to waste words with Wan Xiaoqi.
"Please, Leader Ouyang!" Zhou Bendao stepped aside politely and invited Ouyang Yan into the tent.
Xia Qingchen also stepped forward, preparing to enter the camp.
Click
The two guards immediately crossed their halberds and stopped Xia Qingchen's group: "Stop! Wan Xiaoqi's camp, no unauthorized entry!"
How can outsiders break into the camp without Wan Xiaoqi's permission?
Zhou Bendao also looked at Xia Qingchen, caught a glimpse of the Qianxiao Cavalry token on his waist, and couldn't help but snorted: "Where can there be such things as there are no rules?"
At this time, Li Linye immediately clasped his fists and said, "Return to Mr. Zhou, Mr. Xia is also one of the appraisers on the appointment certificate of commander-in-chief."
Um?
Zhou Bendao looked disbelieving, frowned at Xia Qingchen and said, "Show me the letter of appointment."
He has been guarding the mine all year round. How could he not know how difficult it is to identify Yimo Mine?
Over the years, he has seen countless Yimo mines, but he still dare not say that he is qualified to identify the authenticity of Yimo mines.
Qian Xiaoqi at this young age can actually do it?
He really couldn't believe it.
When I took the letter of appointment from Xia Qingchen and looked at it carefully, it clearly stated that it would be jointly appraised by Xia Qingchen and Alliance Leader Ouyang.
After looking at Xia Qingchen again, Zhou Bendao smiled and said, "You are quite capable. It is really rare for the commander to help you to this extent!"
He didn't think Xia Qingchen had the ability to identify Yimo ore.
What I think is more likely is that the commander-in-chief specifically gave Xia Qingchen a chance to perform meritorious deeds.
It is said that it is a joint appraisal, but in fact it is an appraisal by Alliance Leader Ouyang, and Xia Qingchen just gets the credit.
"Since when can a little Wan Xiaoqi ignore the commander's orders?" Xia Qingchen said coldly.
