Chapter 53: The Secret Order

Because of the recent appearance of wolf barbarians, the gate of Guxin County has also strengthened the guarding force, and there are more than ten guards guarding it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, since there are no wolf barbarians who will really attack the Terran county, at most, there are occasional people who come to report that there are wolf barbarians in a certain place, so they just register and finish.

Since they don't really go into battle, their work is as easy as ever.

At this time, a few guards basked in the sun that was about to set, stretched lazily, and then suddenly frowned, and complained: "Where is the smell wafting, it really stinks to death!"

As he spoke, the guard searched in the direction from which the smell came, but saw a young man driving a carriage, and a young girl of about the same age riding a horse following him.

Seeing this, several other guards thought that they had been plundered by the wolf barbarians again, and directly stepped forward and shouted: "Which village is it? The dead are not allowed to enter the city, hurry up and find a place to bury them, don't make any epidemics!"

Cheng Yingying glanced at a few guards in disgust, and did not open her mouth to explain, but directly took out her own identity token and took it in her hand.

Seeing this, several guards instantly had flattering smiles on their faces, and their attitudes also took a big turn, and said: "I'm really sorry, it's our brothers who were blind for a while and didn't see it, please don't take it to heart just now." ”

"But looking at the age of the two, they should be both students of the Cangzhou Element University Hall, right? The Imperial Court Military Department has an order that all students of the University Hall must show the heads of the wolf barbarian warriors they have captured when they enter the city, otherwise they will be directly disqualified from attacking the operation, and please cooperate with the two of you. ”

Although their attitude has changed on the surface, they are still quite unimpressed in their hearts.

After all, in the past few days, there have been many people who have entered the city to hand over the heads of wolf barbarian warriors, and the more powerful ones will come to hand over one or two almost every day. Guards like the two in front of them had never seen them before, so they must have been at that level.

Cheng Yingying also knew that there was such a rule, so she didn't feel sorry for them, and replied casually: "Let's see for yourself! It's all in the carriage." ”

"Everything?"

Several guards chuckled in their hearts, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, since the other party used the word "all", it means that there must be more than one gain.

"Zhang Laosan, go and take a look!" commanded one of the guards.

"Yes!"

When Zhang Laosan heard this, he immediately stood up, then walked to the back of the carriage, endured the stench from inside, and stretched out his right hand to the curtain outside the carriage.

The rest of the guards also looked over in unison, wondering how many heads there were in the car.

Wow!

As the curtain was lifted, a truckload of wolf warrior heads suddenly came into everyone's eyes.

"Oh my God!"

"So much!"

"My mother, this is to scare people to death!"

All the guards were stunned, their mouths wide open, and they were speechless for a long time.

From the beginning of the sortie action formulated by the Ministry of War to the present, although there are three or two students in Guxin County who have turned in more than ten heads, they have come to the county seat once every day or two at most, so it is far less shocking than taking out more than 30 at a time like this.

Cheng Yingying had expected that these people's performance would be similar to her at the beginning, and she also showed a slight smug look at this time.

After a long while, the leading guard came back to his senses, and then trotted all the way, bent down and said earnestly: "The two young heroes are going to the county government to register, right? I'll take you there!"

A moment later, Yang Li and his party came to the gate of the county government.

Seeing this, the guard also had a look of disgust on his face at first, but after the captain of the guard whispered a few words in his ear, his face immediately changed to a look full of shock.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and inform the master in charge. ”

After the official finished speaking, he ran in with a smoke.

Yang Li and the others didn't wait long outside the door, and they saw the official leading the master, and the three officials in charge of the warehousing work, all of whom hurriedly walked out.

Seeing this, Cheng Yingying pointed directly with her hand and said, "The things are all in the carriage, you can pull them over and count and register!"

The master did not agree immediately, but walked to the carriage suspiciously, opened the curtain and took a look, and then hurriedly said: "Hurry in, two of you, and I will arrange for the inventory and registration." ”

So Yang Li and Cheng Yingying were invited to the backyard of the county government, and someone moved tables and chairs to bring tea.

The carriage was also pulled into the courtyard and counted in the presence of both parties.

One by one, the officials removed the heads from the wagon, gave them to the special examiners for inspection, and finally took them to the designated treasury and sealed them.

The so-called identification is mainly to look at the bone spurs in the forehead of the skull.

As long as the wolf barbarians are at the warrior level or above, the bone spurs will be more than three centimeters, and they will be clearly felt when you touch them with your hands.

The heads of ordinary wolf barbarians do not count military merits, because these wolf barbarians are relatively poor in combat power, and they are often old and weak, women and children.

A long time ago, when the heads of these wolf barbarians were also counted as military merits, there was a small group of Terran troops who specifically sought out these people, and then angered the wolf barbarian tribe, attracting a large army to overwhelm the border, and finally the cloud country was forced to pay a large amount of compensation.

Since then, the imperial court has revised this rule to prevent anyone from deliberately committing indiscriminate acts.

And as the counting process progressed, regardless of whether it was the master or the official responsible for carrying and appraisal, they were more and more surprised. Because the heads on the carriage are actually mostly wolf barbarian warriors!

There was only one thing that made them feel very strange: the skulls of these wolf warriors, who were known for their sturdiness, had all been cut open at this time.

However, this does not affect the identification of the owner of the head, and everyone knows that this may be related to the individual's attack methods, and it is likely to involve some secrets, so they did not ask for anything.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the count was complete.

I saw the master put down his pen and said solemnly: "After identification, there are a total of thirty heads of wolf barbarian warriors, I wonder if the two of them have discussed the distribution method?"

Thirty?

The surrounding officials and officials all gasped.

As far as they knew, in the entire Cangzhou, so far, there are not many people who have beheaded more than ten heads, there are only three or two people in each county of more than 20, and there seem to be only one or two in the entire Cangzhou of 30.

And this also includes those opportunists who spend a lot of money and charge a high price, and then use it to win military merits.

Now these thirty heads, if one of them is obtained, then this result will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Cangzhou.

However, Yang Li replied lightly: "This is obtained by the two of us working together, and when we register, let's do it in the way of one person and half." ”

Master and the others were slightly disappointed with this answer, but even if there were fifteen people per person, this achievement could be regarded as the best among the Yuan Controllers.

So the master still smiled and said with some flattery: "In this case, please come to the account room with me and go through the relevant registration procedures." ”

This was the last step in the process, Yang Li and Cheng Yingying naturally had no objections, and followed him into the room on the side.

The room was full of cabinets with various account books, and the master took out the key, opened one of the heavy locks, and took out a relatively new booklet, and wrote basic information on it.

After finishing these, he asked for the special token number issued by the two soldiers, and after filling in all the correctness, it was confirmed by both parties and signed by both parties.

Yang Li and Cheng Yingying also got a copy as a voucher to receive the relevant rewards in the future.

After everything was taken care of, the two were ready to say goodbye and leave and go to the next county to continue their operations.

But when he was leaving, he was stopped by his master.

I only heard the master say solemnly: "Please stay together, yesterday the Ministry of War issued a secret order, I need to inform everyone who comes here." And after the two learned about it, in addition to telling the students who are also in the Elemental Academy, please don't leak it to others. ”
