Chapter 22 Kiki's Command
The float sailed smoothly and quickly, and finally landed at the airship base that Yu Yingnan had set foot on not long ago. A military off-road vehicle was already waiting for Qianye and Aunt Lan, and the front of the car was planted with the golden Gui Zhen Teng Snake Military Flag as usual, and then went on a rampage, heading straight for the Yin family's courtyard. Waiting on the steps at the gate was still the heroic lieutenant colonel, and Aunt Lan disappeared after entering the door.
Qianye followed the lieutenant colonel to the depths of the courtyard, it was the first time he had seen such a large-scale retro-style building complex, and some of the local nobles encountered in the Red Scorpion mission in the past also liked to be vassal-style, but most of the main buildings were one or two main buildings with wood and stone structures to create a bit of artistic conception, because in this era of not peace, bluestone and metal structures were strong enough.
Along the way, turn left and right, and there are many buildings and palaces. Qianye was attracted by the scenery at first, and then instinctively observed the terrain, and suddenly found that there were not many dead spots to hide, which was obviously carefully designed in a garden with many buildings, lush vegetation and interlocking trees.
Secondly, he noticed that the main energy source of the annex was not blackstone steam, the scale of the perpetual motion tower was not large, and it was a little far away from the location of the central axis building. This is just a separate courtyard of the Yin family in the Eternal Night Continent, which shows the heritage and strength of the upper family of the empire.
The lieutenant colonel took Qianye into an independent courtyard after the last, and the main house ran through the entire row of distances to the south, and when he stepped through the door, he saw that there was no partition in such a large space, and it was a whole study. The furnishings and decorations are all in the ancient style, with more than a dozen rows of bookshelves occupying half of the room, and a desk near the window, on which there is a pen holder and a row of brushes. On the other side of the desk are stone inkstones and a few pieces of special letterhead.
Only a true family would preserve such a tradition, and Qianye had never seen such a pomp. He looked around, and was suddenly caught by a writing hanging on the wall.
That's four big words: "Kill decisively".
These words are inked through the back of the paper, with silver hooks and iron strokes, and every stroke is full of murderous spirit. Although Qianye doesn't know calligraphy, she can feel the iron-blooded aura that rushes to her face.
Just as he was watching, a voice suddenly sounded behind Qianye: "How about these four words?"
Qianye turned around and saw a beautiful woman standing at the door of the study.
She is tall, almost level with Qianye, her eyebrows are like a sword, her phoenix eyes are narrow and long, and she has a domineering momentum when she rises, but when she bends slightly, her whole expression becomes like two people, revealing indescribable flattery. She was very young, about twenty years old, but she was wearing a lieutenant colonel uniform, which really surprised Qianya.
Seeing Qianye turn around, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and she whistled unscrupulously, saying, "You are Qianye, right? ”
Qianye bowed slightly and said, "Miss Kiki." ”
Kiki frowned slightly and said, "You haven't learned aristocratic etiquette?"
Qianye said calmly: "Yes." ”
Kiki waved her hand and said, "It's not a big deal, I'll find you a few of the best teachers tomorrow, and it won't be about the same in a few days." As for the content of the task, Aunt Lan should have told you roughly. However, in fact, family assessment and the like are not very important, as long as you remember one thing, you will do whatever I tell you to do, and when there is no instruction, you can act freely. But I have a lot of opponents, no matter who the opponent is, as long as it will affect my assessment results, you can do what is written on this picture!"
As she spoke, Kiki pointed to the "Kill Decisively" banner on the wall.
Qianye was stunned for a moment, which seemed to be a little different from Aunt Lan's previous words.
For Kiki, the heir exam is now the top priority, and the outcome will largely affect the decision of the family elders to choose the next patriarch. After ten years of training and screening of the core children of the Yin family, a total of four candidates for the heir were determined last year, and Qiqi was one of them. The assessment content is very broad and the method is relatively free, and each candidate will be given 500 soldiers of the main army of the empire and resources worth 500,000 gold coins, based on which to make as many merits as possible.
Yin Qiqi's chosen mission is to go to the Eternal Night Continent to fight against the Dark Race. The military record is the highest score in the heir examination, and it is also the least controversial achievement. She has the highest personal force among the candidates, and her family also has some influence in the military, which was originally a very wise choice to play to her strengths.
The problem is that Qiqi has been in the Eternal Night Continent for several months, and this eldest lady is either eating, drinking, and having fun every day, and going out a few times is not so much to encircle and suppress the dark race, but to appreciate the customs of the Forsaken Land, anyway, she has not done anything serious. Kiki didn't even use the 500 soldiers under her name, and she didn't care about throwing them to the front line, let alone using resources to form private armies and staff groups.
Qianye turned out to be the first assistant she officially recruited in the Eternal Night Continent.
This situation made all the people who followed Yin Qiqi a little nervous, including Aunt Lan who went to Dark Blood City to interview Qianye, because the assessment period was only one year.
After hearing Kiki's strange instructions with her own ears at this moment, Qianye finally understood Aunt Lan's attitude of wanting to speak and stopping several times on the airship, wanting to cover it up but running out of words. In this mission, it is difficult to say whether there is a conspiracy, but this eldest lady's leapfrog thinking is really not something that ordinary people can understand and execute.
"Your basic remuneration is 100 gold coins per month, and then there will be special rewards depending on your actual merits. Those special rewards, you'll love it. Kiki had already walked very close to the Thousand Nights, and she didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.
Qianye is very unaccustomed to strangers walking into his safe distance, and is hesitating whether it will be rude if he dodges, Kiki has leaned forward, the tip of his nose is almost touching Qianye, and the hot breath is spit on his face: "This week, you first train etiquette and familiarize yourself with the environment, and the mission will officially start in a week." Such a happy decision!"
At this time, Qianye finally couldn't help it, turned his body sideways and moved away from the front, Yin Qiqi stood up straight, and commanded casually: "Now, let me see your strength." ”
Qianye slowly mobilized the Force and released her breath.
Yin Qiqi's eyes lit up again, and she reached out and touched him unceremoniously. Qianye always felt that this eldest lady's actions were not so much a test of his physical strength and force thickness, but rather an opportunity to rub oil.
"It's actually level four, it's different from what I said before, and I've recently been upgraded by one level?"
Chiya nodded.
"Very good! Level 4 is crucial, because you are no longer a pretty little boy who is good for nothing, but a pretty little boy who has a little use. Someone will take you to the place where you live in a while, so let's do it first!"
Chiya didn't know how to react to this strange comment, so she could only keep her face expressionless.
Kiki left the study with a big smile, and then two handsome, tall, and sunny Imperial Army ensigns came in, and led Qianye to his residence.
What was allocated to Qianye was actually an entire courtyard. There is not only an independent garden pond, but also a bedroom, a living room, a study, and even a weapons room and a cultivation room. Such living conditions are absolutely extravagant to the extent that they are only seen in a thousand nights' lives.
Qianye put down her luggage and looked over one by one.
The bedroom has its own luxurious bathroom, the living room is spacious and bright, and the calligraphy and painting furnishings are all fine products with origins and vintages. Qianye didn't know any of these things, just looking at the metal material used to frame the frame and some of the Force gems inlaid with them, he knew that each piece of Lu Dao was worth a lot.
He walked into the study again, sat down in front of the antique desk, opened the drawer casually, and was speechless.
In the drawer was a third-level pocket Force pistol! Every carving on the body of the gun was delicate and gorgeous, and the handle of the gun was actually wrapped in a complete deep-sea pearl shell, with light blue lines shining with a faint light, and a clump of ink bamboo painted on it. The Force array inside this pistol may not be as valuable as the decoration on the shell.
Next to the pistol were three special blank Force Bullets, apparently temporary self-defense weapons for the owner of the study. A self-defense weapon that may never be used is a third-level Force gun, and the ammunition is also a physical bullet, which makes Qianye see the family's heritage again. This kind of heritage is quietly displayed through such details all the time.
It didn't take long for the lieutenant colonel who greeted Qianye to walk into the courtyard, and this time he introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Ji Yuanjia, just call me Yuanjia." I am responsible for explaining to you in detail the tasks ahead. ”
After the two sat down in the living room, Ji Yuanjia handed over a document and said, "During the mission, you will be Miss Kiki's special assistant and adjutant, with the rank of captain." This is a letter of appointment, please take a look. ”
Qianye took the letter of appointment, and it was written as the captain of the field army of the 17th Army of the Empire. Of course, he could tell the authenticity of the letter of appointment, and the paper patterns and seals were all genuine, but the place where the name was filled in was not engraved but filled by hand, and the ink had just dried.
Ji Yuanjia seemed to know what Qianye was thinking, and said: "You can rest assured, this appointment letter is true and valid, all relevant documents have been completed, and the military's standard equipment is also available at any time." However, in my opinion, it is better for you to use the Yin family's own equipment of the same level, there are more choices, and the quality is a little better. ”
Of course, Qianye knows the procedures for the appointment of officers in the Dao, and the regular procedure is to engrave the full text, but there are also many cases of appointment in battle, and the handwritten signature is absolutely valid, as long as the issuer has this authority, and a full set of files are supplemented. However, the Seventeenth Legion is the regular main army of the Empire, and this Miss Kiki can actually control such a group of officers, and the energy is a little too great.
Qianye flipped through the attachments at the back, and sure enough, there were a lot of documents that should have been there, and even Qianye's resume was filled out very completely, and he didn't have time to see what identity he was pressed on. Lieutenant Colonel Ji handed over a thick manual and said, "This is the equipment catalog of the Yin family's private corps, you can pick one of them." The budget is one thousand gold coins. ”
Finally, Lieutenant Colonel Ji put an armband on the table and said, "According to the eldest lady's wishes, the 131st Independent Combat Company will be assigned to you and under your full command." This battle company is built according to the standard of the Empire's main legion reinforcement company, I hope you are satisfied. ”
The standard for strengthening the company is not only to increase the number of personnel and equipment, but also to improve the strength of officers at all levels. The squad leader will be a first-class soldier, and the level of the platoon and company commander will also increase accordingly, and the company commander will definitely be a third-level soldier. The combat power of a reinforced company can approach an ordinary battalion.
Such a reinforced company, soldier number one hundred and fifty, was actually thrown to himself?
However, Qianye was not stunned by the sudden fall of power, no matter how weird this task was, for him, it was also a task.
Qianye closed the document and asked seriously, "What about the intelligence authority?"
Lieutenant Colonel Ji was taken aback slightly, looked at Qianye's gaze much more seriously, and said, "With the same authority as me, basically Xichang City and the surrounding Terran control area have no secrets for you. It's just that the information above the secret level involving the Yin family and several other families is not within the scope. ”
