From the general of the army to the commander of the guerrillas, for the current Lin Yi, there is no doubt that he has reached the sky in one step.

But the official position of the Ming Dynasty is also very strict, not to mention a guerrilla commander, that is, a hundred generals in the army, and a hundred households in the guard, all of which need to be appointed by the imperial court, at least there must be procedures for the military department, don't look at Lu Xiangsheng Such a big official, you can't do what you want to point out as an official.

This time, there is also Zu Keyong. First, he sent a message in time during a long-distance attack, which greatly reduced the casualties of the Ming army. The second is that he followed Lu Xiangsheng to charge through the siege, killed a lot of Tartars, and added one of the two major merits, Lu Xiangsheng praised him on the spot, reinstated him as an official, served as the commander of the guerrillas, and also rewarded 200 taels of silver.

Zu Keyong said: "My lord, the reward will be received in the future, and the promotion will be counted, this time it is all the credit of Lord Lin, my Zu Keyong is just a little hard work at most, I don't care if the guerrilla is not a guerrilla, as long as I can be with Lord Lin, I am willing to be his soldier for the rest of my life." Everyone laughed.

At this time, the casualty figures came out, and the Ming army suffered heavy casualties in the early stage of the war, gradually stabilized the situation, and then turned defeat into victory, and 10,000 Ming troops suffered more than 3,000 casualties.

But this is a victory, after more than two hours of fierce fighting, at least more than 7,000 Tartars were annihilated, and the booty of war knives, spears, guns, and livestock was not counted, and the most brilliant thing is that 15 cannons and ammunition of Tartars were captured in this battle.

In this battle, Lin Yi's more than 300 people also suffered dozens of casualties. The remaining more than 260 people, after consulting Lu Xiangsheng, all formed their own guards.

Other meritorious officers and soldiers will be rewarded according to the military merit book.

Back in their tents, Zhang Hua, Erhu, He Tao, Wang Qi and others took turns to be on duty outside.

Xiaoying set up a simple banquet, made two or four dishes, and a pot of wine, celebrated Lin Yi's achievements and congratulated him on his ascension.

The two of them sat and drank opposite each other, and Lin Yi laughed and teased her: "Tomorrow these guys will pester me again, and 200 taels of silver do not belong to me." The guerrilla commander, the approval of the military department has not come down, so I only have a pair of armor from the governor, and I plan to give it to you, I have nothing, what is there to celebrate? ”

Xiao Ying laughed angrily: "Brother Lin, it's a fool to say this, 200 taels of silver are given to the brothers, the brothers are grateful for your kindness, that is your favor, and they will work for you at critical moments, how many lives can 200 taels of silver buy?" I can't wear the armor you gave me, so it's still yours. Although the guerrilla commander did not approve it from the military department, an official as big as Lord Lu announced it in public, and the promotion of a guerrilla commander was not a matter for him to be captured, are you afraid that Lord Lu will repay his debts? ”

"As far as you are clever, of course Lord Lu will not repay the debt, but it is not easy to say about the part of the military department, the Ming court is corrupt, stormy, full of holes, internal and external troubles, it doesn't matter if this official is not appropriate." Lin Yi is really not interested in the officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was a soldier in his previous life, and he was a soldier when he crossed over, he was just doing his duty as a soldier.

Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment, and bought him again, staring at him with two big grape-like eyes and sneering: "Brother Lin can't see it, he is still a true god who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, he has never been, since he is so unconcerned, then when Lord Lu rewarded you today, he was panicked and flattered, grateful to Dade, why is this?"

"You are stupid, if Lin Yi is indifferent to me so much, then he doesn't know what to do?"

When Lin Yi said this, he coldly took Xiao Yinglou in his arms.

The action was a little sudden, Xiao Yingjiao screamed, her breathing immediately became short, she felt that Brother Lin wanted her tonight, in fact, she was always ready to serve her Brother Lin.

It's just that today is a little sudden, the two sides are drinking against each other, without any warning in advance, Lin Yi started, and it was a little rough, when a man wants a woman, he is probably so anxious.

Xiaoying, who is just in love, has a budding feeling about the affairs of men and women.

Xiaoying obediently let Lin Yi hug her, feeling Lin Yi's strong manly atmosphere, her face was flushed, her blood accelerated, and the deer in her heart was about to crash out, although she knew that there would be such a day sooner or later, but when this day came, her reaction was still very strong.

"Don't make a sound, there's a thief behind the tent!" Lin Yi whispered in her ear.

Xiao Ying's body twisted a little, only then did she know that Lin Yi's reaction turned out to be that the drunkard did not mean to drink, she was also startled, and the afterglow of her eyes swept back, and there was indeed a figure behind the tent.

Xiao Ying's heart moved, could it be a Tartar's spy? I didn't notice it at all.

"What should I do?" Xiao Ying tried her best to adjust her mentality, let her heartbeat slow down, and said in Lin Yi's ear with a delicate breath.

"You pretend to go to fetch water, and let Zhang Hua catch them alive."

"Brother Lin, wait a minute, wait for Xiaoying to take a bath and then serve Brother Lin......" Xiao Ying said deliberately, got out of Lin Yi's arms, twisted her waist and walked towards the door of the tent.

Lin Yi pretended that nothing had happened, sat back at the table again, ate two mouthfuls of food indiscriminately, and took another sip of wine.

Xiao Ying arrived outside the tent, called Zhang Hua and Erhu to the front, and explained two sentences in a low voice, the two people were startled, Zhang Hua gently pulled out the waist knife, and the two tigers prepared bows and arrows, and the two of them touched the back of the tent left and right.

Afraid that the two of them would lose, Xiaoying hurried to find someone, intending to block the back road of the thief.

Zhang Hua turned to the back of the tent, and sure enough, there was a black shadow, covered with light veil, dressed in black.

Zhang Hua didn't speak, a hungry tiger pounced, jumped out coldly, and stabbed at the black shadow.

The black shadow was extremely alert and far-facing, and in the face of a sudden attack, he ducked down and dodged the knife.

Then he turned his head and ran, scattering his legs like flying, in the darkness the two tigers shot an arrow, the black shadow turned his head, the two tigers missed the arrow, and the two people began to chase the thief behind.

But the thief's body method is extremely fast, and suddenly Xiao Ying took a few people with knives, guns and torches to block the way of the black shadow.

"You can't run!"

The black shadow only turned around and ran in the other direction, but before he could run far, the black shadow stopped, because there was a black shadow standing in front of him, unlike him, this black shadow was not covered with a light veil, but only carried a steel knife, steadily.

"The bold thief, don't you catch it yet?" It was Lin Yi who spoke.

At this moment, the shouts of catching thieves sounded behind them.

The black shadow already had a sharp blade in his hand, and he rose into the air and stabbed at Lin Yi, Lin Yi dodged to the side, and was about to make a move, but how did he know that the black shadow took the road and fled.

Lin Yi pulled out the dagger in his boot, and threw it out with a raised hand, and the black shadow was crooked, hiding in the shadow of the tent.

Lin Yi jumped three times and arrived in front of the tent.

"What man, stop!" The night patrol team came, and the saber rattling was aimed at Lin Yi.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm Lin Yi." Lin Yi hurriedly responded.

"Lord Lin, why did you come to the governor's tent after not resting so late? ...... who also wields knives and guns," said the officer of the night watch.

Only then did Lin Yi notice that the big tent in front of him was the big tent of the Governor Lu Xiangsheng, and he hurriedly put away the knife and saluted to explain what happened.

At this time, Zhang Hua, Erhu, He Tao, Wang Qi, Dongsheng, Wang Jian, Xiaoying and others also came over.

"How can such a thing happen?" The officers on the night patrol were very surprised and immediately ordered a careful search.

But near this tent, where are there any traces of thieves except for a few drops of blood?

"What's the commotion out there?" Lu Xiangsheng came to the outside of the tent. Such a toss outside the big tent also alarmed him.

Lin Yi and the others hurriedly saluted, "My lord, there are ears outside the tent under Fang Cai, I will wait to go out to get the thief, I don't want the thief to be successful, I came in this direction, disturbed the prince, and the crime of my subordinates." ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was also sleepy, he had just fought a battle during the day in this wilderness, this was a temporary camp, and there were thieves?

Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered a search, and the whole battalion was alarmed, and after searching for a long time, nothing was found. Liu Chongzhen, the chief soldier of the army, and Luo Dai, the deputy chief soldier of the town, were also alarmed, and they brought people to greet the adults.

Seeing that the third watch day had passed, Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to continue to expand the incident, so he sent everyone away, ordered people to step up patrols, and he went back to the tent to continue to rest.

Lu Xiang ascended into his camp, he didn't feel sleepy, he put the lamp in his hand, and thought about it.

The figure flashed, and a person came in from the door of the tent, and when he looked up, it was his personal soldier Lu Ming.

Lu Ming is not surnamed Lu, but a slave with the master's surname, and has served Lu Xiangsheng by Lu Xiangsheng's side for many years.

"You haven't rested yet?"

"Master, I heard that there was a thief tonight, and the little one came to scare the master." Lu Ming said, come over and pour tea.

Lu Xiangsheng found that Lu Ming usually pours tea with his right hand, but today he changed to his left hand.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Master, when I broke through during the day, I was slashed in the arm by a Tartar, it's okay, it's a little flesh wound, and I've already been drugged." Lu Ming poured the tea and handed it to Lu Xiangsheng with his left hand.

"It's okay, it's really an unexpected battle, it's not far from Yuyang, these Tartars are actually ambushing Bendu here, if it weren't for Lin Yi and them, the consequences would be unimaginable......" Lu Xiangsheng took the tea, remembering the battle during the day, and said with emotion.

"What the master said is that Lord Lin is young and promising, and he is indeed a talent. However, it is difficult to draw dragons and tigers, and it is difficult to know people and faces, but not hearts, and the master still needs to be careful. ”

"What do you mean? If you have something to say, just say it. Lu Xiangsheng just took a sip and felt that Lu Ming had something to say.

"Master, please forgive the villain. The villain is thinking, Lin Da Wen Taowu strategy, not less than the talent of the general, the military exploits are so prominent, but he is a border soldier, these years the army is chaotic, Tartars and thieves are pervasive, and there are more factory guards of the imperial court, before the adults reuse him, it is better to pay more attention to him, so as not to cause accidents. ”

"You are right, go back and rest early, it's late at night, and Bendu is going to rest."

"Yes, sir. The villain retired. Lu Ming left, Lu Xiangsheng took the lamp, and lay down on the bed with his clothes, thinking about these things in his head.

It was the first case of thieves in his military camp, in this wilderness, just after a big battle, the thieves should not be Tartars and thieves, could it be that there were spies in the camp?

He remembered Lu Ming's words again, Tartars, thieves, factory guards, it is indeed a bit chaotic, and then thought of Lin Yi, and then shook his head, this person is upright, jealous and hateful, definitely not a traitor, so who will the thief be, according to Lin Yi and others, the thief is very skilled, and he is by no means an idle person, is it an assassin who has mixed in, and he really has to be wary of it in the future......

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, he was too tired from the daytime march and battle, and his brain fell asleep......

Lin Yi returned to his camp, and Zhang Hua, He Tao, Wang Qi, Erhu and others took turns patrolling outside, and increased the manpower.

Xiaoying withdrew all the wine and food, and sat opposite Lin Yi.

"So many people still let him run away, Brother Lin, who will the thief be?"

"It's hard to say. It's so late, go to sleep. ”……
