Chapter 267: People are warm and cold, and they protect each other secretly
Zhao Lan saw Chen Ban turn his back and touch his slightly clenched fingers, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed an inexplicable look.
This veteran general can be regarded as an alternative in the barracks, he has been in the army for more than 30 years, and with such a long experience, even some commanders of the army are difficult to compare with him. But after more than 30 years of polishing, he is still a city protector, which is really unusual.
Although the general of the city protector talks about official rank, he is still above him Zhao Lan, but it is not a good official position. The reason is very simple, in the face of hundreds of millions of monsters in this chaotic place, the city protector is the easiest type of person to die.
Over the decades, almost all the guards on the four walls have changed their faces. Especially the north wall facing north, the four guards on it have changed more than three times in ten years. With such a high risk of fall, even soldiers who are not afraid of death can hardly ignore it.
And the old general in front of him has been guarding the city for thirty years, although he has been on the verge of death countless times, but he has also escaped death countless times, which makes it rare in the county town military camp that does not know him.
Among the many generals, even the commander-in-chief of the unified army has some respect for this old general. Because this old man is not a person who retreats without fighting, but is also a model of life to death.
It's just that people are unpredictable, and not everyone is like that.
In Zhao Lan's opinion, this old general is nearly half a hundred years old, and how many years can he be in this martial arts for many years.
His future path has been completely cut off, even if he can rely on his rich experience and pure true qi to fight at this time, but as time passes, his qi and blood will become more and more depleted, and how much of his combat power will remain?
Although he is famous, it is impossible to leave a veteran who has long lost his combat effectiveness among the three armies.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Zhao Lan's eyes, compared to him, he was different. Although his official rank is lower than his, he is much younger than him, and even though there is a gap in the cultivation of the two, this gap is not world-apart.
With his talent, as long as he doesn't go to the dangerous city to garrison, even if it's just to boil up his qualifications, he has full confidence that he will surpass the old man in front of him. Even if he can't be the commander in chief of the unified army, he will be able to become a partial general of the left and right armies.
He knew that this old general Chen looked down on what he had just said, but in his eyes, the reason why this old general was still stationed on the city wall after more than 30 years in the army was because of his unbending character and didn't know how many Shangguan he had offended.
He didn't want to be like Chen Ban, who was still desperately working on the dangerous city wall when he was over half a hundred years old.
In life, from winning the army, isn't what you do is power?
Zhao Lan had a look of color in his eyes, he would not take the initiative to slap the horse, because it was a model of wall grass, but it was enough to leave some good impressions on a few Shangguan invisibly, and he still had a lot of time to plan for his future.
Chen Ban could detect the gaze coming from the side, but he didn't bother to take care of it, if it wasn't for the sake of sending Han Ning away safely, he wouldn't have come to this smoky place.
This tower is full of human sophistication, and it is far from his moat barracks. At least in the dangerous barracks, everyone can hand over their backs to their colleagues, and there will be no stumbling in the shadows.
Glancing back at this General Zhao, Chen Ban's expression did not move, not showing any emotion.
As long as today's business is over, he will not stay here for half a minute, and the comfort in the county town has long made these tigers in the army become lambs. Even if they have horns that can attack foreign enemies, most of them are used for intrigue, and it is difficult to use them against monsters anymore.
Suddenly, Chen Ban's face changed slightly, he quietly moved forward half a step, raised his hand on the fence of the tower, frowned slightly, and looked at the changes in the stone platform in the distance.
When the strong man died, although the soldiers who surrounded him frowned slightly, they didn't say anything. The sergeant at the head glanced at his colleague behind him slightly, and then slapped the other three men who were still sitting on the ground stunned with the war in his hand.
The three of them finally woke up from a dream, looking at the white-faced young man who seemed to want to come over, but was blocked by a military master, and saw his long black whip that was still slowly dripping blood, and subconsciously shuddered, so he hurriedly stood up and hurriedly put away the corpse.
This stone platform is engraved with dense formations, which is a modified teleportation array, which shortens the distance of teleportation a lot, but it also widens the space in the teleportation formation dozens of times.
This formation can only connect the county town at the very edge of Xuanzhou, and if it is far away, it will be a little difficult to reach.
However, for these merchants who transported demon bones to sell, as long as they left Zhenhan Continent, they could get rid of these materials anywhere. There is not much difference between going to the Broken Bone County and going to the distant Cangyun County City, so there is nothing wrong with it.
It's just that although this teleportation formation is not as fragile as the transformed storage formation, it can't let the formation be stained with such a thick bloodstain, and the blood here must be cleaned up before the goods are decorated.
The soldier who had just walked over seemed to be calling the three men to work as coolies, but in fact, he also saw that this prince of the Hou Mansion was not a good stubble. The change just now made him lose face, if he didn't send these three people out at this time, then the fate of these three people would probably not be much better than the one just now.
With the operation of these soldiers, the stone platform was busy again, but the figures moving goods subconsciously avoided the direction where the white-faced young man was standing.
Even if they all know that the person is just a straw bag, but after all, he is also a powerful straw bag, and this straw bag is still holding back the anger in his stomach at this time, and he is afraid that he will be burned at this time.
Huang Zhaohui looked at the figure that was busy again, and then looked at the soldiers who seemed to be standing a lot closer, and a faint blood color seemed to rise in his eyes.
What the armored soldiers did just now, he naturally saw in his eyes, at this time, the soldiers who were originally guarding the edge of this stone platform, the direction of the position seemed to be a lot closer to him, and the reason for this was naturally self-evident.
This naturally made him even more indignant in his heart, and he only shook the long whip in his hand slightly, but he did not dare to throw the whip down on them.
In this town, the status of the armored soldiers is much higher than that of ordinary cities. Moreover, most of the sergeants in these various barracks have been working together for several years, and they have a deep affection for each other, which can be said to be a matter of touching the whole body.
He dared to whip a laborer for no reason, but he didn't dare to make trouble in the barracks for no reason, after all, his father, the old marquis of Huangshan, was also a person who came out of the barracks and relied on his military exploits to become a marquis.
If it causes anger in the army, his father may not be able to protect him, which is the bottom line of an old soldier.
