Although some deviations inevitably occurred, this seemingly simple interrogation finally ended without incident. Yan Zheng deliberately concealed the situation after being swallowed. After all, all the people swallowed by the underworld crocodile He will definitely die, so no one can confirm the things he said, so there is no need to make extraneous matters.
Two Xuanjia soldiers lifted the unconscious Yan Zheng from the iron chair and escorted him back to the previous cell. Under the instructions of the supervising censor, the two soldiers unlocked Yan Zheng's shackles and released him. When we got to bed, after a while, another passable meal was delivered.
After completing the interrogation work, the two supervisory censors had left. Yan Zheng's testimony corroborated the contents of the briefing, indicating that the low-level soldiers who carried out the exploratory mission knew nothing about why they were attacked. However, this also A bigger problem is involved. The smelting workshop located in the imperial capital is responsible for casting the armor of the border troops. It is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Above the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the Eighth Prince, who is known for his wisdom. However, at the same time, he has also been given the important task of guarding the northern border by the emperor. So, From a motive point of view, he has absolutely no reason to obstruct the exploration operation, so there must be someone else behind the scenes.
But these things have nothing to do with Yan Zheng. Having just woken up, he just wants to finish the food in front of him safely. The pain left in his soul is gradually fading, but the painful memory is really unforgettable. These supervisory censors The method was indeed a bit terrifying. The Ling Chi exerted directly on the soul was far more unbearable than the one on the body. Not only was the feeling extremely clear, but the time was also extended almost infinitely. However, this long torture that made Yan Zheng so painful that he could not help but survive. The outside world lasts only a moment.
Yan Zheng suspected that he had bitten off his tongue during the interrogation just now, otherwise why would he not have any sense of taste when eating now? Now that the shackles that bound him have been lifted, it means that his suspicion has been cleared, and the answers he has repeatedly considered before were not in vain. Supervisor Yu Shi probably got a satisfactory answer, and he will certainly be released soon.
Yan Zheng's estimate was correct. The subsequent detention did not last long. The carriage arrived at the mansion two days later. Two Xuanjia soldiers got into the carriage with him. After the carriage driver shouted, the carriage started on its way back.
Yan Zheng's previous judgment was correct. The residence where he was interrogated was indeed located in Qingguan Town. Different from the uneasy mood when he came, Yan Zheng was in a good mood. He leaned back on the seat leisurely and looked at the scenery outside the window.
A little light shines through the thick clouds on the horizon, and the golden color returns to the earth. The customs clearance town seems to be covered with a gorgeous sari. Each shop wakes up from last night's dream, the smoke rises from the kitchen, and the food is warm The breath of air wafted out, and if it weren't for the two black armored soldiers who were as cold as statues, Yan Zheng would have hummed happily.
About two hours later, the carriage stopped. Two black armor soldiers got out of the car. There was a person waiting outside. He seemed to be of high status, he should be a general.
The general saluted the two Xuanjia soldiers and asked, "Is this the soldier that the two royal censors took away from our guardhouse earlier?"
A Xuanjia soldier said: "Now that the investigation is over, the Censor ordered us to send him here. He will be under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Guard from now on. It is up to you to make your own arrangements. Just make sure that this person can be found quickly if necessary. Can."
"Understood, the commander-in-chief has ordered me to arrange the arrangements properly. I would like to ask you two to convey this to you. Please rest assured, Mr. Yushi." The general said as he walked forward and took out two small cyan jade bottles. I didn't know what was in them. The Xuanjia soldier reached out and took something without leaving a trace, and nodded tacitly to the general.
Yan Zheng in the car saw it clearly. It seemed that no matter which world he was in, he had to be a sensible person. The greeting and delivery did not change, but the things were changed from money to elixir.
The Xuanjia soldier opened the door and signaled Yan Zheng to get out of the car. After Yan Zheng got out of the car, the two of them got into the car and closed the door. The general and Yan Zheng stood aside respectfully and watched the carriage go away.
Yan Zheng followed the action of the general and saluted him respectfully. The general waved his hand casually in response, "There is no need to be polite. Although we belong to different guards, we are all protecting the border for the dynasty. Besides, you just I heard it too, and we are a family from now on.”
"I have not been in the army for a long time and I have always felt deeply regretful that I was unable to attend the quarterly meeting. However, I have always heard the corps commander talk about the past joint efforts of the Eighth Guard and the Seventh Guard to fight against the Cloud Shadow Sky Serpent. Story, Yan Zheng is deeply honored to be able to join the Eighth Guard today." Yan Zheng's tone is sincere and his expression is sincere, making it hard for people to dislike him.
The general laughed and patted Yan Zheng on the shoulder, "Follow me and I will take you to where you live."
Although this soldier has an ordinary appearance, he appears to be full of energy and vitality. He is considered outstanding among ordinary soldiers. The general may have heard about Yan Zheng's situation. He has participated in the Netherland exploration operation and emerged from a near-desperate situation. Surviving danger, every soldier who can come back alive from the Netherland is a fortune, not to mention that the next fifty-eighth exploration mission will be carried out by the Eighth Guard, and they will definitely need his power by then. Therefore, the commander-in-chief had previously specially instructed him to move him to a more leisurely place.
Under the leadership of the general, the two walked towards the inside of the guardhouse. Compared with the seventh guardhouse, the overall construction of the eighth guardhouse was better. The overall area was larger, including dormitories and training grounds. , ordnance warehouse and other buildings are also made of masonry structures, and the layout is more reasonable. They have obviously been carefully renovated with the support of sufficient financial resources.
Although the construction and repair of the health centers are in charge of the Gongzao Mansion, it does not limit their power to build independently. Therefore, the overall construction situation of different health centers is also different. Not to mention the other two directions, but the one where the eldest prince is in charge On the western border, due to the support of the Queen's relatives, the construction of each guard station was meticulous, and the place where everyone lived was comparable to the residence of a minister in the imperial capital.
In the martial arts field, the capable frontier soldiers were training. Each of them had stones the size of millstones placed in front of them. At Shi Chang's order, the soldiers bent down to pick up the stones, and then put the stones away. Raising it above their heads, they repeated the above actions, but after a while, the soldiers began to pant, and large beads of sweat flowed down their naked upper bodies.
The quiet room for monks to sit cross-legged and practice was located elsewhere. Yan Zheng could only see a hazy light, which was probably a vision caused by some kind of practice. The previous events made Yan Zheng strongly want to become a monk. His biggest advantage now is immortality. Even if the cultivation method is extremely obscure and difficult, with the support of infinite lifespan, he will eventually succeed in cultivation.
However, practicing magic arts is extremely precious. Those powerful magic arts are mastered by the royal family and aristocratic families. Even the military commanders in the border army can't get too profound magic arts. What's more, Yan Zheng doesn't even know that in the border army How to obtain the cultivation method? Is it based on military merit? Or is it a reward after promotion? The improvement brought to him by practicing Zhi Ge Jue is getting smaller and smaller, and he urgently needs new practice techniques.
The general led Yan Zheng to a large single-story room. Yan Zheng initially thought it was a factory for manufacturing equipment. After entering, he saw the neatly arranged tables and chairs, and then he realized that this was canteen.
"Lao Lu, I've brought you a new guy!" the general shouted into the kitchen.
"Just leave it there, I'll have someone clean it up later!" The man who promised in the kitchen did not show up, only a powerful roar came from him. His voice was so scary that Yan Zheng felt that his eardrums were about to be shaken. broken.
"Mother, you old boy, what I sent is a human being, not pork. Come out quickly and take him away. I have other things to do." The general didn't tolerate him, so he rushed in and took him away. The people in the kitchen were dragged out.
"It turns out he's a human. I thought the food had arrived, but it's not bad. I'll make the arrangements. You just have to be busy." After being dragged out by the general, the man in the kitchen suddenly realized that he had a strong figure. He was holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and a terrifying scar on his face was particularly eye-catching. It seemed that such a person should have a loud voice.
"He used to be from the Seventh Guards Station. You should do things in a measured manner, but don't go too far." The general warned worriedly.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely treat you as one of my own." Lao Lu laughed, and the terrifying scars on his face became tangled with his facial movements, like a centipede.
The general turned to Yan Zheng and said, "From now on, you will be under the control of Chief Lu Wu. You will help cook in the kitchen. I will leave first."
Yan Zheng saluted to the general, "Thank you for your help, Yan Zheng resolutely obeys the arrangement."
After seeing off the general, Yan Zheng returned to the cafeteria, where Lao Lu was waiting for him. He crossed his arms, the kitchen knife in his hand shone coldly, and his scrutinizing eyes were like looking at whether a piece of pork was good or bad.
Yan Zheng saluted naturally, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, "Yan Zheng has never worked in the kitchen before, and now he is willing to study seriously with Wu Chang Lu. Please take care of me."
Lao Lu didn't answer. He just stood there and stared at Yan Zheng. His whole body exuded fierce murderous aura, and his eyes were like hungry tigers that wanted to choose people to devour. However, Yan Zheng did not avoid it. He died twice. How could he be frightened by this murderous aura? He looked at Lao Lu calmly, with a calm expression on his face.
After a while, Lao Lu withdrew his gaze. He grinned, put down the kitchen knife in his hand, and walked to Yan Zheng, "Although he is a little thinner, he is not brave enough. Many boys looked at each other when they first came here. After a while, I was so frightened that I peed my pants. You have the guts to not give in at all. I had already thought about it. If you gave in just now, I would kick you out of the cafeteria immediately. You can go wherever you like. .”
"It's better that you show mercy. If you do it for a while longer, I'll probably wet my pants too." Yan Zheng also laughed. Although Mr. Lu Wu looks ferocious, he has a bold personality and is not a bad person. He is also happy to be like this. People work under them.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Come to the kitchen to help first. I'll ask someone to find the quartermaster later to help you get your bedding and clothes." Lao Lu said, picking up the kitchen knife and returning to the kitchen.
"yes!"
