Chapter 316: The Smoke Rises (7)

"Well, concentrate and calm down, cross-knee exercises, and stabilize your mind!" Ling Yi felt that the spirit of the recruits was a little confused, and hurriedly warned him, only to see many recruits on their knees on the ground, gathering their minds!

Sun Ze and Hao Jun's people patrolled and took care of the recruits, for fear that these soldiers who were killing people for the first time would be mentally confused!

After coming over for a long time, these recruits slowly recovered, and Ling Yi admonished loudly: "We kill to protect the people around us, protect the weak, and protect everything we should protect, and every time you kill the enemy in the future, you must condense your mind, and you can't let the evil thoughts in your heart control you!"

"Yes!" All the recruits bowed to Ling Yi and promised, they knew that Ling Yi was for their good, many veterans who had been discharged from the nightmare of killing people had not been able to get out of the nightmare of killing, that is, they could not channel the evil thoughts in their hearts in time, and now Ling Yi taught them the way to stabilize their hearts, so that their first killing was not so painful!

Seeing the recruits recover, Ling Yi said to Huang Akun, "Can you talk about it now?"

Huang Akun still looked at the soldiers around him hesitantly, still worried!

Ling Yi said to Huang Akun: "My riffraff qu, a total of five hundred and sixteen people, are all brothers who can be entrusted with their lives, I don't worry that they will leak secrets!"

Everyone in the riffraff looked at Huang Akun energetically, and told him with their eyes that no one here would go against Ling Yi's will!

Huang Akun looked at Ling Yi in amazement, what means did this general, who looked like a child of a family, use to subdue this group of heroic soldiers? Why did this general trust his subordinates so much?

After hesitating for a few breaths, Huang Akun waved his hand at his companions in the distance, only to see more than 100 riding bandits converging towards Ling Yi!

When he came to Huang Akun's side, Huang Akun beckoned to a subordinate, only to see that subordinate take out a letter in his arms!

As soon as the letter came out, the steward instantly shouted excitedly: "That's my letter, give it back to me, I'm going to kill you ants, damn the big-headed soldiers, I'm going to kill you!"

Ling Yi ignored the horse steward, but his brothers didn't accept him and let him go, and just punched and kicked him, kicking him to the ground, not gnawing, just looking at the letter in Huang Akun's hand with anger in his eyes!

Huang Akun personally handed over the letter to Ling Yi, this is a secret letter, there is nothing to see on the envelope, only the words "Ballai personally opened", which is still written in the Northern Wilderness script.

Ling Yi looked at the word "Ballai", and always felt very familiar, and he couldn't remember it for a while!

The letter has been opened, it should be that Huang Akun has read the content of the letter, what kind of letter is this, which makes Huang Akun attach so much importance to it?

With curiosity, Ling Yi stretched out his index and middle fingers and took the letter out of the envelope!

There is no long talk on it, just a short sentence: "The military troops of Youzhou are assembled, and they will send troops from the Yanjing checkpoint to the Northern Wilderness in the near future, with no less than 150,000 troops!"

After reading the content of the letter, Ling Yi broke out in a cold sweat, and his first reaction, Ling Yi waved his left hand and made a surrounding motion.

All the ruffian soldiers, as soon as they saw the command gesture, just a few breaths, surrounded this group of bandits in the middle, and the halberd was on guard, waiting for Ling Yi's order.

Sun Ze and the others also dispersed, each guarding one side!

Huang Akun asked in a panic: "General, do you want to break your word?"

All the bandits looked at the ruffians around them vigilantly, they were no match for this group of soldiers at all!

Ling Yi didn't answer Huang Akun's question, but asked, "Where did this letter come from?

Huang Akun did not evade, and replied directly: "The letter was touched by one of my subordinates from the horse steward! We all know the contents of it!"

Ling Yi nodded, judging from the snatching of the horse steward just now, this letter was his, not to mention how strong Ling Yi's spiritual power was, he could distinguish the truth from the false!

Ling Yi continued to ask, "Who else knows about this besides you?"

Huang Akun shook his head and said, "No one else knows!"

After hearing this, Ling Yi said to Sun Ze: "Big brother, you lead the ruffian to immediately take the horse steward and this letter, and hand him over to the light cavalry regiment, so that no one can find him and the letter on the road!

Sun Ze knew that the matter was urgent, and there was no need to give an order, so all the soldiers of the ruffian Yitun escorted the horse steward and galloped away in the direction of Bingzhou.

Ling Yi asked Huang Akun again, "Where is Guankou Village?"

Huang Akun replied: "It's not far to the northeast!"

"Please Brother Huang to lead the team, let's go there for a trip! Bring these corpses with you and wipe out all traces here!" Ling Yi continued to command!

After cleaning up for a while, under the leadership of the bandits, Lingyi and them galloped in the direction of Guan Kou Village!

On the way, Huang Akun asked Lingyi suspiciously: "Is the general really not ready to let our brother go?"

Ling Yi replied: "If I don't let you go, now that you are corpses, I am protecting you!"

"Protection?" Huang Akun doesn't know why!

Ling Yi explained: "What kind of consequences will it be if such an important letter is found and lost by the people behind the scenes, as long as they follow the traces of the horse steward to Guanshankou Village, do you say that you still have a way to live? Not to mention you, maybe your family members may be murdered!"

After Ling Yi's reminder, Huang Akun finally knew the seriousness of the consequences, as Ling Yi said, as long as the people behind the scenes take action, let alone themselves, even their families will not be happy.

Ling Yi continued: "What we have to do now is to eliminate all the clues of Guan Kou Village, at least not let people know that your affairs today are related to you!"

Huang Akun finally understood Ling Yi's intentions now, and whispered to him, "Thank you!"

Ling Yi Yaoyao nodded, urged the horses, and asked Huang Akun softly, "Are your subordinates all people with tight mouths?"

Huang Akun knew what Ling Yi meant, and replied: "Although our group of people are all rogue bandits, they are all friends of life and death, and they are all border people who are deeply affected by the war, and they are the most hated traitors!"

"That's good, after this incident, you still have to be careful, there is no impermeable wall in the world, you must pay attention to safety!" Ling Yi reminded.

Huang Akun understood what Ling Yi meant, he let himself leave this area and continue to stay here, he would only be focused on!

When I came to Guankou Village, as Huang Akun said, I could smell the pungent smell of blood from afar, and many houses in the village were still burning.

With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi dismissed the ruffians into the stockade, and brought out a lot of seriously injured people, including bandits and members of the Chamber of Commerce.

Without hesitation, as soon as Ling Yi waved his hand, those seriously injured members of the Chamber of Commerce were directly killed underground by the ruffians.

Ling Yi said to the ruffian's brother: "All the corpses of the stockade are collected into the house, and all the places are burned with a fire!"

"General, there are still the bodies of my brother and the villagers here, can they not burn them?" Huang Akun stepped forward and pleaded with Ling Yi.

Ling Yi looked back at Huang Akun and said: "We can't leave any clues, especially yours, as long as there is a trace of clues left, the enemy will find you, although those who died are your brothers, but think about your relatives, think about the relatives they left behind, they don't want to bother you because of this!"

But...... "Huang Akun still wants to speak, but he can't open his mouth, he doesn't want to be himself, what about his brothers?" So many people died today, and I don't know how many people will die in the future, and he fell to his knees weakly, Huang Akun sobbed silently: "Brothers, big brother, I'm sorry for you! You can rest assured, your family, I will take care of it!"

The other bandits all knelt on the ground, kowtowed to their brothers who died in battle, and drank and joked together in the morning, and now they will be separated forever!

A big fire burned the Guankou Village, leaving only white ashes!

Huang Akun stood up weakly, knelt on one knee in front of Ling Yi, and said, "Huang Akun, please take the general in!"

The other bandits also knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Please take the general in!"

Ling Yi didn't know how to answer Huang Akun's actions, and asked, "Are you really willing to follow me?"

Huang Akun nodded and replied, "Yes!"

Everyone else shouted back "Yes!"

Ling Yi asked, "Why are you bandits?"

Huang Akun replied: "We are here to defend our homeland! In the past, we were harassed and killed by the cavalry and bandits of the Northern Wilderness, and later in order to defend our hometown, we spontaneously formed this team, we have never done anything against our conscience, and today we found out about the evil deeds of the horse steward, so we attacked, and when we saw the letter, we made up our minds to kill the horse steward, and prepared to send him to the government, but we were caught by the general, this is better!"

Ling Yi can be sure of this, if it weren't for this group of bandits today, Steward Ma would definitely send the secret letter of collaborating with the enemy out of the border.

From the inside, these bandits are loyal people.

"Follow me, maybe you will die on the battlefield one day, you have to think about it!" Ling Yi already has the heart to take it in!

Huang Akun knelt on the ground and said, "We are not afraid of death, we just want to contribute more to the protection of our families!"

Ling Yi asked, "After you follow me, what will happen to your family?"

Huang Akun couldn't answer for a while, he himself has no family, but the brothers behind him still have families, once he leaves, his family has no one to protect him!

"As long as we can protect the border, we are willing, I will be like the eighteen horsemen of Yanyun back then, and dedicate my life to Youzhou!"

A teenager under twenty years old stood up and replied firmly.

Driven by the young man, the others also said excitedly: "We want to learn from Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, for the sake of my family, I am willing to follow the general!"

Ling Yi looked at the excited and determined bandits, and he also sighed in his heart, the Youzhou bandits are a disaster, but these bandits are the ruthless people who are really willing to give everything for their hometown!

Ling hesitated for a while, and said to Huang Akun: "It's not impossible to take you in, but now that we are on a mission, it's not the time!"

"We'll follow the general on a mission!" everyone replied to Ling Yi.

"Okay, I'll take you in, you don't have to worry about your family, as long as you want, you can send people to Bingzhou, where I have a farm and ranch, and there is no problem in taking care of them!" Ling Yi finally decided to take in these bandits.
