When Lin Ye learned that the Cui family had been wiped out, 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 was the same as that of ordinary contract soldiers. His fifty-eight inspection guards were divided into two groups and took turns to be on duty.
The daily tasks are 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 most evil villains in 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, so it was normal for him to be scolded by the soldiers. Lin Ye being scolded by the soldiers... was even more normal than Jing Sheng being scolded.
"The general said..."
Captain Jiang Shengshang approached Lin Ye and lowered his voice and said, "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 had 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, most of whom were greedy for life and afraid of death.
For twenty years, one frontier army after another was lost. The comrades around me died one after another and left one after another.
It wasn't until he joined the Beiye Army that he settled down. After all, the Beiye 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 are probably many people in the Qi military camp who gossip 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 could no longer charge.
King Kitano once visited him personally and wanted to promote him to a 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 baggage 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 died 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 the 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 had not forgotten how to fight.
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.
For some reason, 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 were not many people in the world who were 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 shocked.
When he was thinking about why the Cui family was exterminated, Jiang Shengshan 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, probably 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 staring at him, and no one could really find anything to do with 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 happens in Yunzhou City, King Kitano's arrangement is 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 going to happen this time?
Lin Ye couldn't help but think of the senior brother who had just returned. He had traveled thousands of miles and returned to Yunzhou at this time.
If Jiang Qiuse and the Cui family were implicated, 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 Shengshang was stunned for a moment, then walked away with his hands behind his back.
As he walked, he said: "I'm going to inspect. I didn't hear what you said, but I will never allow violations of military discipline to appear in front of me."
Lin Ye hugged his fists towards the retreating figure.
So, in the dead of night, Lin Ye quietly left the Qi Barracks.
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 were 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 blatantly on the street.
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 soldier passed by, Lin Ye was about to move when he suddenly saw a few black figures flashing across the intersection.
Lin Ye raised his head and looked at the sky. The stars were sparse and the moon was bright.
A night like this 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 the 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 Yunzhou City was.
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 mechanical sound.
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."
The man in black warned.
Lin Ye could tell that this man deliberately lowered his voice to speak hoarsely, but it was definitely not his original voice.
"What if we go in?"
Lin Ye asked.
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 with a snap.
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 penetrated 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, piercing it directly.
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.
At the moment of 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.
boom!
The two fists slammed together.
The man in black slid back a step, and his sleeves were torn apart by the shock.
"Um?!"
He didn't even think about it and couldn't understand how a guy with no inner strength could fight with him head-on.
And, it seems to have the upper hand.
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. 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.
For Lin Ye's punch, the man in black was still the same as before.
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 been relevant to 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 burned and he shrunk, 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 with the first punch.
With the second punch, he activated his internal energy and poured it into his fists. Lin Ye's bones should have shattered under such a hard fight.
"Caluses, that's where it comes 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 stopped hunting and 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 had come out, and they all had 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 footsteps of the six or seven people stopped immediately.
The leader made a gesture, and the 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 came 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.
Tang Jiu had another headache.
