"Zhang Kangnian, Bai Shanhai and others deliberately incited the soldiers to mutiny and violated military regulations. They will be punished according to military regulations. If you execute him without authorization, your crime will be increased!"
Li Zexuan snatched the Mo Dao from Ding Dali's hand and swung it to the side. The Mo Dao plunged into the ground. Then, he looked at the other soldiers behind Ding Dali, with an inexplicable expression on his face. Smile and just listen to him say:
"A total of fifty-two brothers in our W-Zi Battalion were injured due to training in the past two days. As a member of your army, I cannot shirk my responsibility for this! Of course, what makes me gratified is that among the fifty-two brothers, In the end, only the twelve of you listened to the instigation and came to secretly meet with Colonel Zhang, which shows that most brothers can still understand my good intentions!"
On the first day of the implementation of the new training code, a total of forty-two soldiers of the Wuzi Battalion were injured. On the second day, ten soldiers were injured. In total, there were fifty-two soldiers injured on the two days. Although Zhang Kangnian was fully prepared to alienate these wounded soldiers, only twelve soldiers were shaken in the end. Although some of them understood the righteousness, it does not rule out that Li Zexuan visited the military camp last night to see and treat the wounded soldiers. It plays a significant role!
Hearing this, the twelve wounded soldiers of the Wuzi Battalion, including Ding Dali, all lowered their heads in shame. Indeed, their hearts were shaken after hearing the rhetoric Zhang Kangnian made up. Zhang Kangnian It was by taking advantage of their weak will that their evil plan almost succeeded!
"General, although they listened to the deceptive words of Zhang Kangnian and others, when Zhang Kangnian persuaded you and them to mutiny just now, no one agreed. This proves that they have no intention of mutiny. In view of this, I hope the general can help Be patient and spare their lives!"
Seeing that all the wounded soldiers in Wuzi Camp lowered their heads in shame and did not dare to speak, Li Zexuan turned to Duan Zhixuan, bowed and cupped his fists.
Duan Zhixuan's eyes flashed slightly. He did not agree immediately, nor did he object clearly. After a moment of silence, he ordered Sun Zhiping: "Sun Zhiping, I want you to return to the camp immediately and mobilize a team of soldiers to capture these people!"
In order to avoid exposing any flaws, there were only three of them lurking in the firewood tonight. However, even if he did not lead a single soldier, Duan Zhixuan felt guilty because this was the base camp of the Xuanjia Army and he did not believe that anyone would dare to disobey him. Will, even if he has it, he is confident that he can subdue it by himself!
"I will obey the order!"
Sun Zhiping bowed and clasped his fists, loudly accepted the order and left.
Duan Zhixuan walked slowly to Zhang Kangnian at this time, and an invisible momentum came towards Zhang Kangnian. Zhang Kangnian suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe, and even his blood seemed to be stagnant. At this time, for him, a moment was like a After thousands of years, Duan Zhixuan finally spoke:
"Zhang Kangnian, who instigated you to slander Li Shenjun and incited the injured soldiers of Wuziying Camp?"
Although Duan Zhixuan's voice was not loud, for Zhang Kangnian, who had just experienced tremendous mental torture, these few words were like thunder and a loud bell, exploding in his mind, making him feel a little agitated for a moment. I lost my mind and almost told Duan Zhixuan the truth:
"General, this...this matter is the result of the general being confused for a moment and acting on his own initiative, without anyone else's instructions~!"
"Hmph! Are you making your own decisions?"
Duan Zhixuan obviously didn't believe it. He sneered and said: "What worries do you have with Li Shenjun, why do you want to slander him even if you violate military regulations? In addition, this time the competition with Wuziying is Bziying, and you are Cziying. Camp Captain, why did you come to incite the soldiers of the Wuzi Camp to mutiny? Also, you just told Ding Dali and others that after the mutiny, if I were to blame General Qiu for the mutiny, General Qiu would also intercede for you. How did you know that Xing Gong would intercede for them? ~?"
When he was hiding in the firewood pile, Qiu Xinggong could clearly hear the conversation between Zhang Kangnian, Ding Dali and others. At this time, Zhang Kangnian wanted to take all the blame alone. How could Qiu Xinggong believe it? Because there are too many doubts here!
With every word Duan Zhixuan spoke, Zhang Kangnian had more cold sweat on his forehead, but he knew in his heart that no matter whether he confessed to Chuqiu Xinggong or incited the soldiers to mutiny, for this crime alone, he would most likely die. In this case, it would be better not to sacrifice Chu Qiu Xinggong, so that Qiu Xinggong might be able to protect him or his family!
"Back to the general, I just can't stand what Li Shenjun did in the Xuanjia Army. This matter has nothing to do with General Qiu. Just now...just now it was all nonsense~!"
Zhang Kangnian gritted his teeth and kowtowed to Duan Zhixuan.
"...Zhang Kangnian, have you thought about it?"
Duan Zhixuan was silent for a moment and asked in a deep voice.
Although he knew that the next answer was related to his life and death, Zhang Kangnian still replied: "...I will finally think about it!"
"good!"
Duan Zhixuan nodded expressionlessly. At this moment, Sun Zhiping was already running towards this side with a group of sergeants.
The kitchen of Wuzi Camp was not far from the camp. Furthermore, before Sun Zhiping had gone far, he met the sergeant of Wuzi Camp who was patrolling the night, so he led his people back as quickly as possible.
After a while, this group of soldiers surrounded Zhang Kangnian and others. Duan Zhixuan waved his hand and said loudly: "Zhang Kangnian, Bai Shanhai and others incited the soldiers to mutiny, and captured them immediately. Tomorrow at three o'clock at noon, they will be beheaded at the gate; Ding Dali and others listened. Those who slander and disturb the morale of the army will be exempted from death, but will not be able to escape the crime of living. Take them all under custody and give them forty punishments on the school grounds early tomorrow morning!"
Military law is different from national criminal law. In comparison, military law is more stringent. When faced with sergeants who have violated military law, military generals have the right to directly deal with them, which naturally includes execution. This does not require the Ministry of Punishment or the Ministry of Justice. People from Dali Temple come to intervene!
"Here~!"
Although the soldiers did not know what had happened here before, they did not hesitate and agreed to Duan Zhixuan's order.
"Thank you, General!"
Ding Dali and other wounded soldiers from Wuzi Battalion thanked Duan Zhixuan one after another.
Although forty lashes with a cane is not a light punishment, and hitting them with forty military sticks might cripple a person, but compared to what they committed, this punishment is considered light. Got it!
After all, it was Li Zexuan who had just made a difference in interceding for them!
They thanked Duan Zhixuan for opening the net, while the other group began to frantically beg for mercy.
"General, spare your life. This is all what Captain Zhang forced me to do, and it has nothing to do with me!"
Facing the wolf-like soldiers, Bai Shanhai couldn't help but beg for mercy.
"General, spare your life, we were all forced by Captain Zhang!"
The other soldiers around Bai Shanhai also begged for mercy.
They were all selected by Zhang Kangnian, and Zhang Kangnian had a single line of contact with Qiu Xinggong. Therefore, they naturally did not know that the mastermind behind the scenes was Qiu Xinggong. Now they saw that Zhang Kangnian had completely collapsed, and Duan Zhixuan wanted to chop off their heads. Under the great fear of life and death, Bai Shanhai and others naturally couldn't help but beg for mercy!
But Duan Zhixuan was unmoved at all. He stood there and watched coldly as all the people were taken away by the soldiers of Wuzi Camp.
If he didn't take action, he would chop off the heads of eleven sergeants if he did. One of them was a captain of the first battalion, which was regarded as a senior general in the Xuanjia Army. The reason why he was so decisive in killing was because just now Duan Zhixuan remembered the warning Li Er gave him in the palace today!
The national war is imminent, and there is no room for other voices in the current Xuanjia Army. Only if everyone works together and practices hard can this newly expanded Xuanjia Army be able to shine in the battle with the Turks ! Now Zhang Kangnian actually incited the soldiers to mutiny and undermined the unity of the army. This directly touched Duan Zhixuan's bottom line. If this continues, the Xuanjia Army will definitely be in chaos. During the national war, will it have such a shitty combat effectiveness?
So at this time, Duan Zhixuan could only achieve the effect of shock and warning by killing Zhang Kangnian and others with thunder!
As for whether Qiu Xinggong was involved in this matter, since Zhang Kangnian didn't say it, he didn't intend to investigate further. If Qiu Xinggong, the founding general of the country, was touched, it would be a disaster for the Xuanjia Army. The world is in turmoil!
Among people of this level, only Li Er dares to move!
"Li Canjun, thank you for inviting me to watch this wonderful show tonight, otherwise I wouldn't know that Zhang Kangnian and others are so bold!"
After everyone was escorted away, only Duan Zhixuan and Li Zexuan were left outside the kitchen (Sun Zhiping left with the escort team). Duan Zhixuan stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Li Zexuan and said.
There was no joy in watching a good show in his tone, but a hint of helplessness and desolation!
Time goes back to more than half an hour ago.
"General, I have something to ask for!"
At four o'clock in the morning, Duan Zhixuan was already asleep when he suddenly heard Li Zexuan's voice coming from outside the tent. Being in the army all year round, Duan Zhixuan's sleep was very light. When he heard the sound, he was immediately awakened and sat up from the couch. He responded and said: "Come in!"
Li Zexuan opened the curtain and walked into the tent. He saw that Qiu Xinggong had already gotten up from the couch and stood on the ground in thin clothes. He clasped his fists and said: "It is wrong to disturb the general's rest, but the general is really urgent. I hope the general will forgive me for this!"
Duan Zhixuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are all members of the family, so there is no need to be polite to Li Shenjun. Come on, tell me, what's the urgent matter~?"
This family member can be said to have shortened the distance between the two in an instant.
Li Zexuan clasped his fists and replied: "I am here to invite the general to watch a play. I will get the news. In half an hour, someone from the army will go to the Wuzi camp kitchen for a secret meeting to discuss some unknown matters. I don't know." General, are you willing to go with me?"
"What? Someone is going to have a secret meeting in the Wuzi camp kitchen late at night? Who is it? Why is there a secret meeting?"
Hearing this, Duan Zhixuan was suddenly shocked, and he asked quickly.
"Time is urgent, and the general has no time to explain. If the general trusts the general, he will immediately follow the general to the kitchen of Wuzi Camp. You will know when the time comes!"
Li Zexuan clasped his fists and said.
Things like staying there must be done in advance. Otherwise, if you arrive late or the other party arrives early, your efforts will be in vain. That's why he is so anxious.
Duan Zhixuan still knew something about Li Zexuan's character. Besides, he had always taken care of Li Zexuan since he entered the Xuanjia Army. Therefore, Duan Zhixuan did not believe that Li Zexuan would harm him, so he almost didn't hesitate too much. He nodded and said: "Okay! I'll let you go!"
After that, Duan Zhixuan threw on a piece of clothing and followed Li Zexuan out of the tent. Sun Zhiping was waiting outside the tent. The three of them met and walked quickly towards the W-zi camp kitchen.
Hence the previous scene, where Duan Zhixuan, Li Zexuan, and Sun Zhiping suddenly appeared from the firewood pile and broke Zhang Kangnian's conspiracy!
At this time, hearing Duan Zhixuan's complicated sigh, Li Zexuan was silent for a moment and said: "General, you are polite, but Zhang Kangnian is also joining the army in the C-shaped battalion. If he is killed, the general will be worried that there will be some unrest in the Xuanjia army! "
Duan Zhixuan shook his head and said as he walked: "As long as I am here, this Xuanjia Army will not be able to cause chaos!"
These words were categorical and full of confidence. However, Duan Zhixuan, as one of the earliest generals of the Xuanjia Army, had been in the Xuanjia Army for more than ten years and had fought with Li Er for more than ten years. He was indeed qualified to say this. A word!
"Hmm... Could it be that Cheng Chumo eavesdropped on Bai Shanhai and Ding Dali's conversation and hid in the pyre~?"
At this time, Duan Zhixuan suddenly stopped, looked at the pile of firewood by the wall, and asked.
On the way to the kitchen, Li Zexuan had already roughly told Duan Zhixuan the conversation between Bai Shanhai and Ding Dali that Cheng Chumo overheard during dinner, so Duan Zhixuan asked this question.
"That's right!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said.
At this point, Li Zexuan had to sigh that Cheng Chumo was really lucky. He could stumble upon a big conspiracy just by hiding in a pile of firewood. This really proves the saying "Foolish people are lucky"!
"Haha! It's getting late. Li Canjun should go back to his tent and rest early! We'll deal with this matter tomorrow!"
Duan Zhixuan smiled inexplicably, then walked away alone with his hands behind his back.
……………………………………………………
"Brother Ugly Niu, what do you think of Shan Zhang and the others now?"
In the camp, Yuchi Baolin tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Suddenly, he asked worriedly.
"How do I know this?"
Speaking of this, Cheng Chumo became angry. It was clearly him who told Li Zexuan the news, but Li Zexuan didn't take him with him when they "caught the thief", which made him jump with anger!
What this guy didn't know was that he had already been labeled by Li Zexuan as "foolish people are blessed by fools"!
"Hmph! This guy Xiaoxuan is so unloyal! I told him the news with good intentions, but he didn't take me with him when he picked him up. If this happens again next time, I won't tell him. !”
Cheng Chumo turned over and whispered softly.
