Lin Zhan solemnly looked at the people behind Zheng Wuji, carefully feeling the aura emanating from them. Lin Zhan's eyes froze, flashing with fine light.

"They are the members of the law enforcement department of the academy you lead, they are not very old, they should still be students of the academy. But it looks very different from other rookies who don't know anything. ”

Zheng Wuji said: "They have been to the same places as you, and they have all been really honed. ”

As soon as Zheng Wuji said this, Lin Zhan immediately understood.

The so-called same place, if nothing else, is the Celestial Star Forest.

In order to quickly improve Wu Tian's strength over the years, Lin Zhan would send them to the Heavenly Star Forest from time to time for trials. Lin Zhan himself often entered the Heavenly Star Forest to improve his strength by fighting with beasts and spirit beasts.

Lin Zhan often went to the Celestial Star Forest, this matter was not a secret in the Emperor of the Celestial Star Empire, and anyone with a little bit of intelligence would know about it. And the Zheng Wuji in front of him even guessed the purpose of Lin Zhan's entry into the Heavenly Star Forest.

Because Zheng Wuji's training method is the same as Lin Zhan's.

Lin Zhan's gaze returned to Zheng Wuji again, and his expression became even more solemn.

Zheng Wuji put these people out and deliberately pointed to the Tianxing Forest, on the one hand, he wanted to demonstrate to Lin Zhan and destroy the prestige of Lin Zhan before. On the other hand, it is to remind Lin Zhan that he can hide those things from others, but he can't hide them from Zheng Wuji.

Lin Zhan has pretended to be crazy and stupid all these years, wandering between several major forces in the imperial capital, left and right, and may deceive many people in a short period of time, but Lin Zhan will definitely not be able to deceive everyone.

The Zheng Wuji in front of him may be one of them.

Lin Zhan was secretly vigilant in his heart, trying his best to maintain his external calmness, and said calmly: "These people, are they all trained by you?"

In the face of Lin Zhan's further temptation, Zheng Wuji did not answer directly. On the contrary, it seemed that he remembered something, and there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

"Eighteen years ago, the old man was the general of the empire, and he was in charge of the empire's 600,000 military horses. ”

Zheng Wuji did not answer Lin Zhan's question, but talked about his past by himself.

And as soon as he heard Zheng Wuji say this, Lin Zhan immediately felt a shock in his heart. I didn't make a noise, but listened quietly.

There must be an extraordinary reason why Zheng Wuji can suddenly talk about the past at this time.

Moreover, Zheng Wuji suddenly mentioned this matter at this time, so it is very likely that this reason has something to do with Lin Zhan.

In other words, it has something to do with the Lin family.

"At the beginning of the empire's crisis, the five enemy countries around the Celestial Star Empire formed an alliance to jointly crusade against the Celestial Star Empire, intending to completely wipe out the Celestial Star Empire. At that time, the old man and Lin Tianxiao, Situ Wei, Ma Jianfei and others were ordered to lead the imperial army to resist foreign enemies. The old man was already hot-tempered, and the situation was critical at that time, so he advocated that the troubled times should be re-enacted. Therefore, I am extremely strict with my subordinates, and I will punish my officers and soldiers for the slightest mistake. Under this iron-fisted method, the 600,000 soldiers and horses under my account were in awe of me, and all of them trembled when they faced me. ”

The old man relied on this to show his might on the battlefield, and his reputation was greatly enhanced. But Lin Tianxiao, who was the commander of the enemy at that time, couldn't get used to my approach, thinking that my method of commanding troops was improper, contrary to the peace of heaven, and he was looking for trouble for me everywhere. In front of the officers and men of the three armies, he severely punished me. At that time, I was only a general in front of the battle, and Lin Tianxiao was the commander of the enemy, and his official rank was higher than mine, so I could only endure it. ”

Zheng Wuji stood with his hands in his hands, his head slightly tilted, his eyes looking into the void, immersed in the memories of the past, and told this history by himself. The tone was calm, without showing a trace of joy and anger, as if he was talking about a small thing that had nothing to do with him.

But it was this calm tone that made the people around him tremble even more, and he faintly felt a terrible aura slowly spreading around him.

Lin Zhan had been trying to keep himself calm before, even if he was becoming more and more vigilant in his heart, he couldn't show the slightest hint on his face.

But now, Lin Zhan couldn't hold it even if the city was deep, and his expression became a little difficult to look at.

Although Zheng Wuji was only halfway through the speech, Lin Zhan had already heard what Zheng Wuji meant. Lin Zhan didn't expect that there would be such a relationship between himself and Zheng Wuji, or between the Lin family and Zheng Wuji.

Because of this bloody process, this relationship is not a good thing.

"Lin Tianxiao is powerful, no matter how much I make a fight, there is no room for resistance in front of him. Even my life was left by Lin Tianxiao for the sake of the empire's employment at that time. ”

"Capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be avoided. These are the original words that Lin Tianxiao said to me back then. Ignoring the righteousness of his comrades and the great exploits I had made, he took off my armor and then beat me with fifty sticks in front of the officers and men of the three armies. ”

"That's the biggest shame of my life. Fifty military sticks, I remember each one clearly. I still have scars on my back. With my means, I could have erased all these scars, but I didn't. I've always kept them. And I'm going to stay until the day I die. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Wuji suddenly laughed coldly. The laughter was not loud, but it sent chills down the spine of everyone who heard his laughter.

"Eighteen years on, I can remember every moment of the scene. The officers and men of the three armies, all the generals, all the soldiers, at least hundreds of thousands of people saw the whole process of my punishment. The stick hit me, and I could see every blow and every detail clearly. Lin Zhan, can you imagine the original scene? I, Zheng Wuji, the dignified Imperial Zhenwei General, the former chief general who commanded the 600,000 Imperial troops, was stripped naked and beaten violently in front of everyone's eyes, and I didn't even have the courage to resist, what a shame it was. ”

It was the first time Zheng Wuji told this history in front of everyone, and it was also the first time to show his joy and anger in front of so many teachers and students. Zheng Wuji laughed there and questioned Lin Zhan, the expression on his face was extremely complicated.

And listening to Zheng Wuji's laughter, Lin Zhan's face became more and more ugly.

"The generals, the soldiers, every one of them looked at me the same way. Especially the soldiers under my command, the eyes that looked at me were full of schadenfreude and joy. Although they didn't say it, I can guess that they must all be chanting Lin Tianxiao's name in their hearts, and they are grateful to Lin Tianxiao for making me such a big ugly. ”

"Because of the crisis of the empire, manpower is urgently needed, so after the heavy punishment, Lin Tianxiao did not take away my military power, but let me continue to command the army. A month after that, I was ordered to lead an army to fight against the Yantang Empire, but I was ambushed, and my 600,000-strong army was almost completely wiped out, and I myself was seriously wounded. You can only go back to the rear to recuperate. ”

After that, the Five-Nation Alliance was defeated, and the empire turned from danger to safety, rewarded meritorious deeds, and began to seal meritorious heroes. Although the old man also made a lot of achievements, he was defeated in the last battle, and his merits and demerits were offset by each other, and he did not get any knighthood and reward. I can only hide here and become a teaching director. ”

After saying that, Zheng Wuji exhaled lightly and returned to his original calm.

"Lin Zhan, do you understand now?"

You see? It's a very simple question, and it's a very easy question to answer.

Not only Lin Zhan understood it, but everyone around him now understood. So their expressions are extremely wonderful now.

There were festivals between Lin Tianxiao and Zheng Wuji, and Zheng Wuji has always remembered these festivals.

Lin Zhan is Lin Tianxiao's grandson who attaches great importance to him.

Now Lin Zhan's criminal is in the hands of Zheng Wuji.

Maybe that's as simple as that.

Now Zheng Wu has too many reasons to take down Lin Zhan based on reason, public and private.
