When Lin Ye learned that the Cui family had been exterminated, it was already the next day. After all, Qi Barracks was relatively closed.
The branch general Jing Sheng did not come to lead the troops in person, and the captain Jiang Shengshang trained on his behalf.
Lin Ye's inspection guard training time is the same as that of ordinary contract soldiers. His fifty-eight inspection guards are divided into two groups and take turns to be on duty.
The daily routine is simple, just patrol the school grounds and punish anyone who violates military discipline.
So you can imagine how unlikable the people in the Supervisory Guard are, and Lin Ye is naturally the least likable one.
Although the recruits have only been together for a month, they have already selected the three villains of the branch based on everyone's opinions.
Even General Jing Sheng is ranked behind Lin Ye. Think about how hateful Lin Ye is?
These three people are...the supervisory captain, the general, and the captain.
Jing Sheng was serious about running the army, and it was normal for him to be scolded by the soldiers. Lin Ye was scolded by the soldiers...it was even more normal than Jing Sheng's scolding.
"The general said..."
Captain Jiang Shengshang approached Lin Ye and said in a low voice: "He has to go back to the camp for at least three days, so you have to work hard these three days."
Lin Ye said: "Captain, it's hard work."
Jiang Shengshang smiled and said: "I don't have anything to do hard. With you and me, they mostly just scold you."
Lin Ye couldn't help but smile.
He already knew Jiang Shengshang relatively well and knew that he was a person worthy of respect.
Jiang Shengshang has been in the Beiye Army for more than 20 years. People who don't know him will think that he is a veteran.
After all, he has been in the army for twenty years. If he hadn't been transferred to the Qi Barracks, he would still be just a hundred-year-old man in the Beiye Army. He would probably be greedy for life and afraid of death.
In the past twenty years, we have endured one frontier army after another, and our comrades around us have died and left one after another.
It wasn't until he joined the Kitano Army that he settled down. After all, the Kitano Army was not easily defeated.
Normally, veterans like him are valuable assets and will not be looked down upon in any army.
But it is said that he, the centenary, is also the centenary of the supply camp, so there may be many people in the Qi army camp gossiping about him behind his back.
He has an honest and kind-hearted personality, and is not intimidating even if he has a straight face. He doesn't seem to be able to keep a straight face.
Lin Ye once saw Jiang Shengshang taking a shower shirtless, with his exposed upper body covered in scars.
He knew that such a veteran was definitely not someone who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Later, he directly asked General Jing Sheng and learned that Jiang Shengshang was too seriously injured after a battle with Lou Fan many years ago and was unable to charge again.
King Kitano once visited him personally and wanted to promote him to the rank of fifth-rank general, but he refused.
He said that he could not continue to kill the enemy, and those who could not go to the battlefield were not qualified to be generals.
In order to take care of him, King Kitano transferred him to the supply camp. He wanted to give him a school captain, but he didn't want it.
He told King Kitano to give honor to men who can still fight and to their comrades who have fallen in battle.
During the ten years of the Beiye Army, the soldiers have changed a lot, so not many people know about that past.
Only those captains and even generals would give a solemn military salute when they saw Jiang Shengshang.
Call me old man.
It was Jiang Shengshang's own request to be transferred to the Qi Army Camp as a captain. He said that he could no longer fight, but he still remembered how he fought.
He wanted to teach these men who didn't know what soldiers were, how to kill the enemy and how not to be killed if it was their turn to go to the battlefield.
Jing Sheng also chatted with Lin Ye and told Lin Ye that he must respect Jiang Shengshang enough.
I don't know why, but when Lin Ye saw Jiang Shengshang, he would think of Zhuang Junji.
They are two different people, one is a soldier and the other is a charlatan.
But there seem to be many similarities between the two of them.
Jiang Shengshang asked Lin Ye: "Why don't you ask me what the general did when he returned to the camp?"
Lin Ye said: "Because I'm not curious."
This answer surprised Jiang Shengshang. There are not many people in this world who are not curious.
"The general's return is related to the major cases that have occurred one after another in the city."
Jiang Shengshang told Lin Ye about the extermination of the Cui family, and Lin Ye was suddenly shocked.
When he was thinking about why the Cui family was exterminated, Jiang Sheng didn't see the fleeting doubt in his eyes and was still talking to himself.
"If my guess is correct, the Yunzhou Prefecture is incapable of governing the place. Our general is probably angry and has called back the generals and branch generals, presumably to discuss arranging the Qi Barracks to take over Yunzhou in advance. "
Hearing this, Lin Ye became more doubtful.
King Kitano has always been a cautious person and would never do anything arrogant. There were so many people in the court watching him, and no one could really find any reason to do anything about him.
Until now, he has not allowed anyone to call him Prince, and has always regarded himself as a general.
Therefore, Qibingying bypassed the government office and directly took over the security of Yunzhou. This kind of thing should not be done by King Beiye.
Unless something bigger happened in Yunzhou City, King Kitano made such arrangements as a last resort.
It's to cope.
In the past ten years, except for the last time Chaoxin Sect caused trouble in Yunzhou, King Beiye never interfered in local affairs.
Is something as big as what happened to Chao Xin Sect ten years ago about to happen this time?
Lin Ye couldn't help but think of the senior brother who had just returned. After traveling thousands of miles, he returned to Yunzhou at this time.
If Jiang Qiuse and the Cui family were involved in the extermination of their family, then Jiang Qiuse's return to Yunzhou might not be as simple as just walking thousands of miles.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye lowered his voice and asked Jiang Shengshang: "Can I leave the military camp at night?"
Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then walked away with his hands behind his back.
As he walked, he said: "I'm going to make an inspection. I didn't hear what you said, but I will never allow violations of military discipline to appear before my eyes."
Lin Ye hugged his fists towards the retreating figure.
So, in the dead of night, Lin Ye quietly left the Qi military camp.
With his current strength, even if he has no inner strength, if he leaves without anyone noticing, not many people will be able to find out.
He wanted to go back to the martial arts school. He didn't care who Jiang Qiuse was, but he did care about the safety of his master, wife, and senior brothers.
Late at night, the streets of Yunzhou City seemed to be much deserted than before.
Even the carriages with logos on them are gone, which shows how much pressure and fear the cases in the past few days have brought to the people of Yunzhou City.
Lin Ye's current identity is the captain of the Qibing Camp. Of course, he cannot walk on the street blatantly.
He walked through the shadows and reached a street intersection. He saw a torch appearing in front of him and knew it was a state soldier on night patrol, so he stopped behind the wall.
When the state soldiers passed by, Lin Ye was about to move when he suddenly saw a few dark figures flashing across the intersection.
Lin Ye raised his head and looked at the sky. The stars were sparse and the moon was bright.
This kind of night is probably not very suitable for those who are prepared to do bad things.
But the real murderer doesn't care whether the night is dark or not.
After he waited for those dark figures to turn into another alley, he couldn't help but quickened his pace and followed them.
Lin Ye observed the surrounding environment and roughly knew where it was in Yunzhou City.
There is a casino in the alley ahead. Flea once said that this casino is quite famous and Cui Jinglin used to go there often.
Lin Ye stopped at the entrance of the alley and looked inside, just in time to see the six or seven people stopping.
He must have been stopped by the casino guard, who seemed to be questioning him in a low voice.
However, two of them suddenly raised their hands, and Lin Ye heard a gentle sound of machine tools.
crossbow?
Lin Ye was startled.
The two casino guards fell to the ground immediately, without even having time to shout.
The six or seven people put on their masks and walked into the yard carrying large packages.
Just as Lin Ye was about to take a step to follow, he suddenly felt something was wrong behind him. He immediately turned around and saw a masked man in black standing under the moonlight.
"You'd better not follow."
Men in black warning.
Lin Ye could tell that this person deliberately spoke in a lowered voice, which made him sound hoarse, but it was definitely not his original voice.
"What if we go in?"
Lin Yewen.
The man in black was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand, and Lin Ye also saw the crossbow in his hand.
This kind of thing should not appear in the hands of Jianghu people.
The moment he dodged, a crossbow arrow was nailed into the wall, making a snapping sound.
I don’t know why this one-handed crossbow looks so small, but its firing force is so terrifying.
The masonry walls were almost penetrated, and seven to eight points of the crossbow arrows had already sunk into the masonry.
After Lin Ye fell to the ground, he quickly dodged to the other side. The second crossbow arrow flew and hit a pillar, directly piercing it.
The man in black seemed a little surprised by Lin Ye's reaction. He didn't expect it to be so fast.
His one-handed crossbow could only load two crossbow arrows. After shooting two arrows, Lin Ye did not give him time to continue loading.
When the man in black saw Lin Ye coming over like a flash, he immediately punched Lin Ye in the face.
Lin Ye didn't hide, but punched the fist in front of him.
The moment they were about to make contact, the man in black's eyes changed and he reacted immediately.
The clothes on his arms suddenly bulged, which was a sign of internal energy pouring into him.
boom!
The two fists bumped together hard.
The man in black slid back a step, and his sleeves were torn apart by the shock.
"Um?!"
He also didn't expect and couldn't understand how a guy with no inner strength could fight with him head-on.
And, it seems to have the advantage.
Because Lin Ye did not step back, the second punch came immediately after the first punch hit.
The man in black was also inspired to fight, and with a cold snort, light suddenly appeared on his fists.
The white light that appeared outside the fists was shaped like a tiger's head, and there was a gentle sound of burning flames. Burning was tearing the air, so no matter how gentle the sound was, it was not gentle.
The man in black was still the same as before when he punched Lin Ye.
The two fists collided again.
Lin Ye felt as if his fists were burning with fire, and his skin might be scorched in the next breath, but he didn't care.
The word "retreat" has never had anything to do with him.
There was another muffled sound, the two fists collided, and the blazing white light was blown backwards.
The man in black frowned because he was shocked back a step.
Lin Ye lowered his head and looked down. His clothes were shrunk from being burned, and the white light on the back of his hands was still vaguely there.
He took a deep breath, clenched his fist fiercely, and the white light dissipated.
The man in black couldn't understand.
With his cultivation strength, Lin Ye's arm should be broken off with the first punch.
With the second punch, he activated his internal energy and poured it into his fists. With such a hard fight, Lin Ye's bones should have been shattered.
"This is where calluses come from."
Lin Ye looked at the man in black.
The man in black was silent for a moment, then turned around and flew out like a falcon.
But the falcon no longer planned to hunt, but retreated.
Lin Ye didn't chase him, he slowly turned around and looked at the alley just now.
Six or seven people carrying huge packages have come out, and they all have short knives in their hands.
Vaguely, it seemed that every knife was dripping with blood.
The six or seven people stood there and looked at each other, then walked toward Lin Ye.
At this moment, an eagle cry was heard in the night sky, and the six or seven people stopped immediately.
The leader made a gesture, and six or seven people immediately turned and left.
Lin Ye wanted to pursue him, so he took a step forward when six or seven crossbow arrows shot through the air.
After Lin Ye avoided them, the six or seven people had disappeared.
It's another early morning, and the sun rises again.
