Chapter 4: Sleepless Nights
After returning from the Wow Valley, which had been called Tianwen Valley by the young eagle guard, Zhao Rong, who was a little confused, couldn't sleep even more when he listened to the snoring of the other four comrades. In the end, he simply got up and walked out of the barracks, came to the already empty Eagle Guard training playground, looked at the comrades who were on duty in the distance, and looked closely at the fact that it was Wei Chide who was patrolling the camp with his group tonight, and couldn't help but think of what Jiang Chen said to him during the day.
When Zhao Rong learned that Jiang Chen was the captain of the newly established Eagle Guard, the fire of jealousy in his heart burned like a flame, and he also thought about quitting the Eagle Guard, but was sternly rejected by Zhao Lingwu. Although Zhao Lingwu was worried about Zhao Rong's safety, he also knew that this was an unprecedented opportunity, Zhao Lingyun was about to launch a war of annihilation against Jin and Xia, and it was foreseeable that only those who had participated in this war would have a bright future in the future.
For a long time, few heirs of the Zhao clan have been allowed to join the army, and even if there are Zhao clan members who have joined the army, it is difficult for them to get ahead in the army, and they are basically civilian or ineffective. The political system of separating the military from the government of Zhao Xin limited the right of civilian officials to interfere in the military, and ensured the right of the military to respond quickly and independently to the greatest extent. Zhao Lingyun's selection of members of the Eagle Guard from among the heirs of the nobles this time was also the first trial since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the restrictions were relaxed, which also gave those Zhao children who had been raised in Feng'an City a chance to come out.
After Zhao Rong was rejected by Zhao Lingwu, he could only accept this established fact. Jiang Chen, who has been a martial cultivator all these years, has been pressed down, somewhat aggrieved. once scolded Jiang Chen for being a "waste", but he couldn't even beat a martial artist who he thought was a waste in his heart, which made Zhao Rong angry but helpless. At the beginning, those fox friends who had fun with him were afraid of their identity, although they still complimented him, but their eyes were full of disdain, which made Zhao Rong even more ashamed.
After learning the news that Zhao Lingyun was going to select young talents from among the sons of the nobles to form an ancient air force, Zhao Rong put in a lot of effort to be selected into the Eagle Guard, just thinking about leaving Kyoto, staying away from Jiang Chen, making some achievements in the army, and returning to Kyoto to raise his eyebrows, so that the people who disdained him in the past can see that he Zhao Rong is not worse than Jiang Chen. He originally thought that Jiang Chen would not be allowed to join this army that could only attack from a distance due to his identity as a martial artist, and Jiang Chen did not appear during the military competition, which made Zhao Rong happy. But it backfired, but I didn't expect Jiang Chen to be appointed as the captain of this new army a long time ago.
Although there were many objections to Zhao Lingyun's decision in the court, Zhao Lingyun withstood the pressure and still announced Jiang Chen as the captain of the Young Eagle. This made Zhao Rong even more unconvinced, thinking that Jiang Chen was only ascended to the position because Zhao Lingyun was his own uncle. During the training of the Eagle Guard, Zhao Rong instigated the proud sons of the sky who were selected to the Eagle Guard many times to find trouble with Jiang Chen. It did cause a lot of trouble to Jiang Chen at the beginning, but after Jiang Chen solved those troubles one by one, he also indirectly helped Jiang Chen establish his prestige in the Eagle Guard, which was also the reason why Jiang Chen was able to successfully make these teenagers with higher hearts than the sky obey their orders after coming to the northern realm.
After four months of close contact with Jiang Chen, Zhao Rong had actually recognized Jiang Chen's ability from the bottom of his heart, but because of his jealousy, he had always looked at Jiang Chen unpleasantly. But he also understands the current situation, so he is on guard against Jiang Chen's revenge on him everywhere, but Jiang Chen has always adhered to a businesslike attitude and has not deliberately suppressed him. He didn't dare to deliberately seek Jiang Chen's troubles anymore, firstly, he was afraid that Jiang Chen's new and old hatreds would be liquidated with him, and secondly, he was afraid that the young eagle guard boy, who was more and more recognizing Jiang Chen's status, would isolate himself and be a lot more low-key and honest, but he didn't expect Jiang Chen to have such a mind, thinking about resolving the previous conflict with him, Jiang Chen's words really disturbed his mind during the day.
Zhao Rong walked under the moon while thinking about the conflicts with Jiang Chen and the others since he was a child, and unconsciously left the camp of the Eagle Guard and came to the camp of the Electric Ox Legion. Zhao Rong, who was pondering, suddenly heard a shout and asked, "Stop, password?"
Zhao Rong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Frost falls." The patrol soldiers in the distance walked slowly towards Zhao Rong. After the team of soldiers from the Electric Ox Legion, all of whom were wearing black armor, approached, Zhao Rong saw their armor, and then found that he had left the camp of the Eagle Guard and came to the edge of the camp of the Electric Ox Legion. Seeing this patrol team of 100 people approaching him, Zhao Rong had no choice but to meet him. The patrol leader saw Zhao Rong, who was not wearing armor, wandering here late at night, thinking that he was a soldier in his legion, and said angrily: "Sign up." ”
Zhao Rong listened to the captain's unkind tone, and his heart was also slightly unhappy, but he still stood up and replied loudly: "Zhao Rong, the leader of the third group of the Eagle Guard Electric Owl Detachment." ”
When the captain of the patrol team of the Electric Ox Legion heard Zhao Rong's answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What are you doing at my legion's camp late at night? You should not be at your home in Kyoto, you can go wherever you want!"
Zhao Rong replied with a little anger: "There is no provision in the military law of Zhao Xin's country that you can't come to the friendly military camp late at night, right?
The patrol captain was dumbfounded by Zhao Rong's rhetorical question, although everything in the army is subject to military law, but it has its own set of rules, and the patrol captain is not used to seeing these gentlemen coming and whizzing away on the eagle every day, and it is secret training to the outside world. But most of the soldiers in the Northern Legion don't think so, they all think that these young eagle guards are going to play in the mountains, and they are going to seek excitement with public weapons for private use, and there are many discussions in private.
And those generals in the army listened to the private discussions of these soldiers, afraid that these gentlemen would bring bad morale in the army, and reported to the Northern Military Division, and Han Angelgui, the director of the Northern Military Division, read the training outline submitted by the Eagle Guard, and the content written on the outline was all routine training, and there was no substance, and they also thought that these teenagers had just made a training outline to fool the military division. Hearing the complaints of those middle-level generals, he couldn't afford to offend the forces represented behind these teenagers, and the highest dispatch power of the Eagle Guard was far away in Kyoto, so he didn't control the full strength of this army at all. I had to set up a separate camp near the camp of the Electric Ox Legion for this only 100 young eagles, to isolate it from the rest of the army, and do my best to make the camp of the young eagles extremely comfortable, so that they try not to go out and contact with other soldiers in the army.
This patrol captain relied on his own efforts to enter the Electric Ox Legion step by step, and he also had his own pride, and he looked down on these young men who were called the pride of the sky. However, as an ordinary low-level commander of the Electric Ox Legion, he didn't know that the young man of the Eagle Guard had undergone secret training with the Martial Arts Squad. Therefore, like the vast majority of soldiers in the army, I think that the young eagle guards are a group of gentlemen who come to the army to seek excitement, and they are not worth mentioning at all. Hearing that Zhao Rong actually used military law to talk to him, and then looked at the team members behind him who were looking at him, he couldn't get off the stage for a while, and shouted angrily: "This is the camp of our legion, not anyone who wants to come and leave." ”
Zhao Rong was also angry when he heard this person say this. Zhao Rong admires himself a little now, if he had his usual character, he would have let people beat this person up a long time ago, or it would be okay to do it himself. However, since Jiang Chen promulgated the law of Eagle Guard, these former sons and young masters have gradually forgotten their original identities, and have been immersed in training and penance, striving to surpass their peers one day sooner, and Zhao Rong is the same, he is afraid of being surpassed by others, and losing his position as the leader of the team has always been an active practice.
But now he was aroused by the captain of this patrol team, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I can come if I want, I can leave if I want, what can you do with me?"
Listening to Zhao Rong's disdainful tone, the captain of the patrol team was even more angry, and said angrily: "Take down this person who trespassed on my Den Legion, and make a decision after finding out his identity." ”
Zhao Rong didn't expect this person to dare to do this, and shouted angrily: "You dare?" but saw that the soldiers behind this person had already obeyed his orders and surrounded themselves. Zhao Rong was already restless today, and he had already patiently talked a lot to this person, but he didn't expect this person to dare to use force after knowing his identity, and he was furious and took the lead in attacking. Seeing that its spiritual power fluctuations have reached the sixth layer of the spiritual realm, it is not yet the opponent of these martial cultivators, and after only a few rounds, it was captured by the patrol team of the electric bull.
The place where Zhao Rong clashed with people was not very far from the camp of the Eagle Guard, when Zhao Rong used the aura, the aura emanated fierce fluctuations had already alarmed the team members who were on duty in the camp of the Eagle Guard, Yu Chi De ordered one of the team members to report to his captain Zhao Xinchen and Jiang Chen, and he took the other three team members to run towards the direction of the aura fluctuation just now.
When Wei Chide arrived, Zhao Rong was being escorted forward by the patrol team of the Electric Ox Legion, and Zhao Rong had been struggling to resist, Yu Chide had already seen by the light of the moonlight and the light of the lights that the person who was being escorted was only wearing an underwear It turned out to be Zhao Rong, and he didn't understand why Zhao Rong, who was supposed to rest in the camp at this time, appeared here. Looking at Zhao Rong's embarrassed appearance, Wei Chide, who was still a little gloating, remembered what Jiang Chen had said during the day, pondered for a while, and then turned his body and led the three team members to rush a few steps to stop in front of the patrol of the Electric Ox Legion, blocking their way forward.
Wei Chide asked bluntly: "I don't know what Zhao Rong has done, where are you going to take him?"
The captain of the patrol team didn't expect the young men of the Eagle Guard to react so quickly, and as soon as the battle between them and Zhao Rong ended, these teenagers rushed over. Looking at Wei Chide, who was dressed in a dark red armor, he said: "This person trespassed into our army's camp, and his identity is unknown. After the investigation is completed, it is natural that you will be notified of the commander of the Eagle Guard. ”
Zhao Rong stared at the captain angrily, and shouted at Wei Chi De urgently: "I didn't trespass, when they just asked me for the password, I was right." When they asked me about the army I belonged to, I told them, but they insisted that I was unidentified. ”
Wei Chide was also stunned when he heard the angry roar full of grievances in Zhao Rong's words, he had never seen Zhao Rong, who had always been arrogant and domineering, still aggrieved. Then he said to the captain: "I testify that he is Zhao Rong, the leader of the third group of my Eagle Guard Electric Owl Detachment, so I can always release him!"
"You say he is, he is. This has to be reported to the military department to check the file, whether there is a record of his military status?In order to prove his identity, you have no evidence, how can you prove that he is your young eagle guard?" The captain said unhurriedly. He is now riding a tiger, and he must treat this matter as a public matter, if he lets Zhao Rong go like this, how can he save his face, and how will he lead his subordinates in the future.
And Wei Chide looked at Zhao Rong, who was stunned, and then looked at the patrol captain. The person in front of him is really a good official, he has nothing to say, the only thing he can do now is to delay time, he can't let him take Zhao Rong away from his eyes, and wait for Zhao Xinchen and Jiang Chen to arrive, and then make a decision. This is no longer a matter of Zhao Rong's personal honor and disgrace, but it is related to the reputation of the entire Eagle Guard in the army in the future.
Seeing that Wei Chi De was blocking the way of himself and the others, the captain shouted: "Get out of the way, otherwise the four of you will be taken down together and reported to the military department: you and others are hindering our team from carrying out the mission." ”
Wei Chide smiled and said, "My name is Wei Chide, I don't know what to call a general?" The man didn't answer, and stared at Wei Chide.
Wei Chide still smiled and said slowly: "When I was in Kyoto, I admired the heroes of our Electric Ox Legion, and I watched your entrance ceremony when I was seven years old, you are my idol! Looking at the momentum of this eldest brother, I must have participated in the entrance ceremony at that time! Now I finally see my idol, can you sign my name?"
Suddenly, he heard a whistle from the camp of the Eagle Guard, and the captain knew that this was a signal for all the members of the Eagle Guard to be combined, and then he realized that this round-faced boy had been stalling for time. is even more anxious to escort Zhao Rong away, otherwise this matter will only get bigger and bigger, if there are any serious consequences at that time, it is not something he can afford, seeing that Wei Chide is still in front of him and will not give an inch.
In an instant, I heard the sound of hurried but uniform footsteps coming from far and near. The captain listened to the footsteps, and became even more anxious, leading people to forcibly pass through the road blocked by Wei Chide and the four of them, but he heard a very majestic young man's voice shouting in the distance: "Stay"
