Chapter Seventy-Four: Protruding Drums
The dawn of the morning sky is gradually falling, leaving traces of the night.
The brilliant evening star left behind is not as dazzling as it is at night, but it is dazzling enough. Yesterday's moon was blurred, but it was also clearly outlined.
A fresh breeze blew up in the barracks, blowing a chill.
Today, Xiao Lin took off the purple robe he usually wore and put on the silver-black armor sent by the soldiers last night. The armor shimmered, refracting the faint glow of the morning sun, emitting a hint of luster.
Xiao Lin, who was dressed in armor, completely lost the demeanor of the elegant scholar before, but had an indescribable wisp of general power.
"Captain Xiao, the general has something to look for you, please move there. At the door, the voice of a soldier reached Xiao Lin's ears.
"Good. Xiao Lin replied.
So, Xiao Lin wore silver-black armor and stepped out of the door of the residence.
When Xiao Lin's figure appeared between heaven and earth, the entire heavenly dome seemed to tremble, and the boundless earth seemed to be silent and colorless.
Even if Xiao Lin didn't deliberately exude his coercion, the vast land seemed to be able to feel the momentum of Lingyun from the depths of Xiao Lin's soul, and he couldn't help but fall into silence.
Step by step, Xiao Lin seemed decisive every step he took, without the slightest hesitation.
Just a moment later, Xiao Lin came to Ren Qiwei's tent.
Xiao Lin walked straight into the tent, and his arrogant posture in armor directly met Ren Qiwei's eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Ren Qiwei looked at Xiao Lin's posture at this moment, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and subconsciously muttered in his heart: "The way he wears armor is so familiar...... It's like a person......
"General Ren, what's the matter?" Xiao Lin arched his hand lightly at Ren Qiwei and asked lightly.
Ren Qiwei took a deep breath, suppressed the thoughts that were flooding in his heart, and then stared at Xiao Lin and said, "Captain Xiao, this morning you led the soldiers of the Red Wind Battalion to guard the North Street of Yanxing Pass. After noon, I returned to the camp after the change of duty. ”
"Good. Xiao Lin didn't make any salutes, just nodded.
If it was replaced by other lieutenants under his command, who did not know how to count the military salutes so unruly, Ren Qiwei would definitely blame him. But when he looked at Xiao Lin's sassy and heroic appearance in armor, he didn't know why, he couldn't raise the slightest dissatisfaction.
After Xiao Lin left, Ren Qiwei was still staring at the back of Xiao Lin's armor, and muttered a little dementedly: "Really...... It seems like...... It seems like that. ”
Suddenly, Ren Qiwei's eyes seemed to appear with a majestic back that was enough to carry half of the Great Han Kingdom on his shoulders......
Leaving Ren Qiwei's tent, Xiao Lin went straight to the camp of the Chifeng Camp.
At this time, the soldiers of the Red Wind Battalion were lined up in formation, full of vitality.
"Line up and go to the North Street of Kannai to guard the town. Xiao Lin walked in front of everyone, didn't say any polite words, and gave an order straight to the point.
The soldiers of the Red Wind Battalion looked at each other, not knowing whether to listen or not. Until now, they couldn't accept a teenager as a lieutenant.
Although Xiao Lin kicked Liu Wu inexplicably yesterday, and now Xiao Lin looks very majestic in armor, there is still no way to make everyone in the Red Wind Camp surrender from the bottom of their hearts.
Because, everyone didn't actually feel the fluctuation of Xiao Lin's cultivation, and deep down they still felt that Xiao Lin was a little kid with no cultivation. Even this little kid is a little weird.
"What, didn't you hear that?" Xiao Lin said directly to Liu Wu who was standing in front of him.
Liu Wu straightened his back and looked at Xiao Lin with a strong sense of war: "Yesterday's competition must have been careless, which made you kick me over, and I didn't accept it." Unless you win another fight with me, I'll recognize you as a captain. ”
As soon as Liu Wu's words came out, the generals of the Chifeng Battalion trembled, and their eyes stared at Xiao Lin like torches, as if they wanted to see Xiao Lin and Liu Wu fighting.
When everyone thought of Xiao Lin's inexplicable kick yesterday, they kicked Liu Wu to the ground, and they felt extremely weird. Of course, they were not convinced by this and wanted to do it again.
"After the guard comes back, let's talk about it!" Xiao Lin said indifferently at all.
"Okay, you said it. The corners of Liu Wu's mouth twitched, and his fists clenched. Then, he turned to the soldiers and said, "Brothers, let's go to North Street to guard the town first, and when we come back, we will compete with him." ”
"Good!"
Everyone raised their hands and shouted with great interest and high spirit, and the sound resounded through the sky like thunder.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin didn't react at all, just stood aside with an expressionless face.
The population of Yanxing Pass North Street is not large, but it also needs to be guarded by the army to prevent some young people from causing chaos in the pass, which is not conducive to governance.
Xiao Lin arranged for Liu Wu and the others to disperse on their own, guarding all corners of North Street, while he himself found a tavern to sit in.
"Master Jun, this wine is all home-brewed, it's a little rough, don't mind. The little guy served Xiao Lin two pots of turbid wine, and said respectfully with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. Xiao Lin took out some broken silver from his waist and handed it to the little servant.
"Thank you, thank you. The little guy looked at the silver in his hand, and hurriedly bowed down to thank him, and his smile was about to grin behind his ears.
Xiao Lin waved his hand and motioned for the little guy to leave.
One person, two pots of turbid wine, looking back at the past life, contemplating this life.
The wine in the cup was exhausted, the green silk moved slightly with the wind, and the corners of Xiao Lin's mouth couldn't help but chuckle.
Suddenly, a roaring drum sounded from all directions, breaking the quiet environment where Xiao Lin was drinking by himself.
Rumble ......
The drums roared like thunder, reaching into the depths of the sky.
"What's going on?" Xiao Lin frowned slightly, and a bad premonition rose.
As the beating of the drums became more and more urgent, Liu Wu's figure immediately appeared in front of Xiao Lin's eyes, and he said with a solemn and eager expression: "Oh no, we have to go back to the barracks quickly!"
"Hmm. Xiao Lin guessed that this rapid and continuous beating of drums was probably something big and that everyone was going to be called back.
So, Xiao Lin also put down the wine glass in his hand and led a group of soldiers from the Chifeng Battalion to hurry to the barracks.
The yellow sand covered the sun, and a growing smell of tension spread in all directions of the barracks, making countless soldiers hold on to the sharp blades in their hands, pointing at the sky.
When Xiao Lin stepped into the gate of the barracks in front of him, a soldier stepped forward and said eagerly: "Captain Xiao, after the general asks you to come back, go to the general camp immediately, and there is something important to order." ”
General Battalion?
Isn't that the place where the general who is now guarding the Yanxing Pass is located......
