Chapter 199: Colonel Veteran
In the office, the young soldier stood upright in front of Yuan Zhengxuan, saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the general, the commander of the 99th Regiment, Colonel Tian Jian Zhongyi, has arrived." ”
"Why is it so long?" said Yuan Zhengxuan, sitting at his desk, frowning.
"When we arrived, Colonel Heavenly Sword was cultivating, and we didn't dare to interrupt him, so ......," the warrior replied tremblingly.
Yuan Zhengxuan waved his hand and told him to step back.
As the warrior retreated, he made a gesture of invitation to the people outside the door.
Colonel Tian Jian Zhongyi held his military hat and walked into Yuan Zhengxuan's office with a steady pace.
A slow and standard military salute, Tian Jian Zhongyi's hoarse voice was like a steam turbine in disrepair: "Tian Jian Zhongyi, the head of the Ninety-ninth Independent Regiment, came to report!"
His short gray hair stood on end, and the wrinkles on his face were like ravines in the earth. The ends of the eyebrows drooped, and a pair of parched eyes still sparkled. If it weren't for the neat military uniform, he would even think he was an old monk.
It looks like he's almost a hundred years old.
Yuan Zhengxuan stood up and saluted in return, and shook hands with him cordially: "The elder of the Heavenly Sword Family, the family teacher asked me to greet you. ”
Tianjian Zhongyi still stood straight: "The general doesn't have to be polite, I will personally go to Moyun Peak to meet Mr. Yiming another day." ”
Yuan Zhengxuan looked at the collar badge of Tianjian Zhongyi, pursed his lips and said, "With your identity and merits, you should have been promoted to major general a long time ago......"
Tian Jian Zhong smiled one by one, and the wrinkles on his face became even more: "I don't want to be promoted to general, that's because there is no one who can award me a title...... Besides, it is not my wish to be a marquis, but I ask for peace in the world. ”
Yuan Zhengxuan smiled and nodded: "The old-timers are high-spirited and bright, and they are really a model for my generation." ”
"The general has been awarded. ”
Yuan Zhengxuan turned his head and took a thick envelope from the table, and handed it to Tian Jianzhong with both hands.
Seeing the envelope, Heavenly Sword Zhongyi's old eyes seemed to light up: "It's a first-level mission?"
Yuan Zhengxuan nodded: "You completed the previous task very beautifully, and the juniors are proud of you." ”
This envelope is the one used by the Snow Nation military to issue the mission, and the document inside contains the details of the mission. There is a top-secret seal at the closure, as well as a circular seal with the striking "First Grade" inscription in the middle.
Tian Jian Zhongyi smiled and nodded: "It's just a matter of moving your muscles and bones, it's not enough to worry about it, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, now is the time for me to serve the motherland...... The old man should do his best to live up to expectations!"
"All the best. ”
Heavenly Sword Zhongyi saluted, slowly but forcefully, and then turned around and left Yuan Zhengxuan's office.
Looking at the old figure of Tianjian Zhongyi, Yuan Zhengxuan's eyes were complicated.
The adjutant beside him asked with a little sorrow: "General Yuan, is the old man of the Heavenly Sword Family still competent?" Although he was known as the Snow Country Military God a few decades ago, he is ...... now He's old. ”
Heavenly Sword Zhongyi had disappeared outside the door, but Yuan Zhengxuan was still looking at it, as if the heroic appearance of his youth appeared in front of him.
He nodded and said, "He can." Because his whole life is for this day......"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snow Marks walked in the jungle in the direction of Dongxiang Village.
Five minutes earlier, as the carriage had left the forest and approached the snow line at the foot of the snowy mountain, Snow Marks had jumped out of the car.
Because he suddenly remembered Qin, and thought that the group was still going to Dongxiang Village for himself. When he learned the news of his mother, he was so shocked that he forgot to tell Jean that "his mother is safe".
So he jumped off the speeding carriage and went into the jungle with only one sentence: "Go first, I'll go myself!"
He's going to inform Jean. The battle to rescue her mother is over, and her mother is fine, which must be known to Jean and her party. Dongxiang Village is not safe, and they cannot be allowed to continue to be in danger.
But he can actually do it with a letter crow.
He didn't understand why he had to go himself, maybe just to find an excuse to jump off the speeding carriage.
He had come to say goodbye to Jean, and he had already thought of his words:
I have made sure that my mother is not in danger, and this is the end of our agreement.
According to Eastern etiquette, I should have invited them to sit at home. But now it doesn't work, absolutely not, I can't let them meet their mother.
Jean may also invite herself to Jerusalem in the West to receive her education, but she can't accept it. In fact, it's not that I don't want to accept it, but ...... Not qualified.
At this point, it may be said: you can go back and don't stay here any longer, because foreigners are not welcome in this country.
They will definitely feel that they are unkind, ungrateful, and even suspected of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but there is no way, this is already the best solution.
Because we're not people of the world.
I was once shocked and attracted by Qin's awe-inspiring justice on the pilgrimage road, and I also wanted to become a teacher like her and live with integrity. But now he finds that he may be in a dark whirlpool, like a moth in the dark, so envy the radiant flame of Qin, but if he gets close, he will only be burned to ashes.
The question of the gods resurfaced in my mind: If your relatives fall into the devil, should you follow the power or the heart?
That's her mother, your only relative! Not even her, all her relatives and friends may be degenerates!
But to accept this reality, or even to become a degenerate like them, you can't do it yourself. Why?
I don't know.
But Snow Mark knows that if she and Jean continue to get along, the end could only be a tragedy, and maybe even the two sides will become enemies.
He now finally understood the true meaning of Pissarro's prophecy, that if they were together, they would surely die.
Snow Mark gritted her teeth and made up her mind that as long as she could get Jean out of this place of right and wrong quickly, it didn't matter how they misunderstood her, she must pretend to be ruthless.
Since then, I have cut off with them and her, and parted ways!
Snow Scar walked all the way south, and at this time it was close to the place where Qin and his party were stationed.
Just as he was about to reach the camp, Abu suddenly appeared on a nearby tree branch and meowed at him.
Snow marks knew that this was an early warning from it, indicating that someone was nearby.
Xiaoshan Biao Abutong is human, and his concealment ability is comparable to the invisibility cloak of Snow Marks, and he also has a farther detection range than Snow Marks, so it has gradually become a great help for Snow Marks.
Led by Abu, Snowmark spotted a figure moving at high speed, as if fleeing in panic.
Snow Scar recognized that the way he ran was the hunter's unique ladder branch, there were not many hunters who could maintain such a high-speed ladder branch, and the posture and movement Snow Scar was very familiar, it was Xiaoqiang.
Snow Scar whistled to make Xiaoqiang notice him.
The greeting of the snow mark made Xiao Qiang look nervously like a frightened bird, and he was relieved when he saw that it was the snow mark.
"Why are you here?" asked Snowmark, "what about the Nianshi?"
"Xuejin, let's go, the village can't go anymore! The people in the village have changed!" Xiao Qiang's face was panicked and anxious.
Because Qin and his party were stationed in the jungle west of Dongxiang Village, Xiaoqiang saw Xueji going from north to south, and mistakenly thought that Xueji was going to Dongxiang Village.
"No, I'm not going to the village, I'm going to the camp of the teachers, I'm going to look for the piano. Snow Scar explained.
"Then don't go!" Xiao Qiang admonished again.
"What's going on?" Xue Zhen realized that something terrible had happened again, which made Xiaoqiang so flustered.
"They ......"
"What's wrong with them?"
"They...... It's all gone!"
Snow Scar was stunned.
How could it be? Could it be the unknown attacker? On the airship, he killed Lesoan with a single blow, could it be that even Roland Kevin and Olager were not his opponents?
"What's going on!"
"They went to the village of Dongxiang and were attacked outside the village......"
"Where's Jean? What's wrong with her?"
"I don't know, it's messy, a lot of people died...... There was blood everywhere, and I escaped by myself......" Xiao Qiang's lips trembled, obviously the battle was too tragic, and he was a little frightened too much.
Xue Zhen suddenly appeared in front of his eyes that Qin was seriously injured, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he felt extremely panicked, he knew that Xiao Qiang could not get more information from him, so he left Xiao Qiang and jumped on the branch.
"You go to our secret base and wait for me, I'll come when I go!" Ladder Zhi started again, and he hurried in the direction of Dongxiang Village as fast as he could.
The circular fortress-like structure of Dongxiang Village appears in front of you. At this time, Dongxiang Village was not at all what it was usual, the observatory was empty, and the gate made of thick tree branches was closed, like a blockhouse to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
At the entrance of the village, the snow marks easily found the battlefield, and the large area of blood stains was the best signpost.
It was a mess, all kinds of equipment were scattered on the ground, and there were corpses and blood stains everywhere, and from those corpses, Snow Marks identified many Dongxiang villagers.
"Jean! Roland!" cried out Snow Mark, her voice trembling a little.
How so? Is it really all gone?
That's impossible. Snowmark refused to believe it.
Although that attacker was very powerful at being able to kill Lessoan with one blow, Roland Kevin and Olajeel were much more powerful than Lessoan, weren't they B-rank? There were few opponents in the world, how could they die easily? Although Qin was an ordinary person, there must have been a lot of great moves that had not been used to press the bottom of the box. How could it be so easily wiped out?
But after thinking about it, it's not completely impossible, although Roland is at the peak of the B-level, but he has injuries on his body, and he is not in the best condition, although Kevin's reading ability is very effective, but he is not rich enough in actual combat, and the people in Olajer are not so trustworthy, as for the piano...... After all, she doesn't have the ability to read, and it's not even like she can barely use that "hard" once or twice, and it is possible to provide herself with mental power when she is in a critical situation. She is in the war of this powerhouse, just like being in the ice and snow in a single coat, and it is easy to have accidents.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, but the speed of rummaging slowed down, for fear that she would see Jean's corpse at the next glance.
At that moment, someone behind him tapped him on the shoulder.
