Chapter VIII The Storm of Meritorious Service I

On the triumphant road, the remnants of the setting sun covered the wasteland.

The queue in the pioneer battalion was a lot shorter, 5,000 when they went, and less than half when they returned. All of them were bloodied and wounded to a greater or lesser extent. It's just that these death row inmates are usually fierce-minded, and some non-fatal injuries are nothing, and they all endure themselves and don't say a word.

"Boss Shocking Clouds, can we really take off this death row prisoner's skin this time?" Dongfang Xiong asked worriedly, pulling at his bloodstained clothes.

"I don't know! That's how the rules are set, but they've never been enforced. Dugu Jingyun kicked the pebbles in front of him, and he was really a little bottomless in his heart.

"What does this mean, have we done it for nothing this time?" exclaimed Dongfang Xiong angrily.

"Not really. For thousands of years, no death row prisoner has received such an honor. So, naturally, there is no question of implementation. Dugu Jingyun explained.

"Haha! In this way, we are not the first to have death row prisoners. No, they won't cheat, will they?" said Dongfang Xiong, who was suffering from gains and losses, and muttered to himself.

"It's a big deal, the fish is dead, the net is broken!" Lu Canglang suddenly said.

Dugu Jingyun shook his head disapprenously: "You must not take this step unless you have to." Our brothers should live uprightly, stand in the sun openly, and the kind of behavior of hiding in Tibet all day long and wandering in the shadows is by no means the style and style of our generation. ”

The good news came, more than 80,000 enemies were annihilated, 3,000 miles were pursued, and more than 10,000 casualties were inflicted on our army.

The camp was jubilant, and people laughed and laughed. The generals of the battalions and teams were smiling and went to the quartermaster office to receive rewards and supplies.

The three of them returned to the camp, washed them, and changed into clean clothes. At this time, the battalion was already empty, and they flocked to the meritorious office, eager to prepare for merit points.

In normal times, the meritorious office is already overcrowded at the moment, in contrast, the number of soldiers in the exchange office is the largest, followed by the pioneer battalion, and the number of people in the general exchange office is much more sparse.

Luckily, the speed of the exchange offices is very fast, otherwise it may not be the turn until dawn.

In the early hours of the morning, it was finally the turn of the three of them.

A civilian officer took the waist card in Dugu Jingyun's hand, and his expression changed instantly, showing a slight shock. Then he whispered a few words to another civilian officer beside him, and then stood up and said to the three of them: "Your waist card is too heavy, it must be verified, my authority cannot handle it, and I need to report to the upper peak." Wait here, and I'll go back. After saying that, he left in a hurry.

"Sure enough, I said it wouldn't be that simple!" Dongfang Xiong complained thoughtfully.

"So what! Do you dare to swallow it privately!" Lu Canglang's eyes flashed with coldness.

"No, it's a capital crime, who would dare to be so bold!" Dongfang Xiong shook his head, a look of disbelief on his face.

"Hmph! It's hard to say, starve the faint-hearted, support the bold. Dugu Jingyun's face sank, "Nothing in this world is impossible, maybe the scene we least want to see is about to appear, everyone get ready, and act according to my eyes when the time comes." ”

The two nodded solemnly.

Half an hour later, the civilian officer arrived.

"You three come with me!" the civilian officer waved his hand and led the way.

The three of them exchanged glances, followed closely behind, and walked towards a large tent not far away.

Outside the tent, there were two soldiers holding hands. In the center of the tent sat a guy dressed in silver armor with a fleshy face, with a proud expression, and he looked like a captain or something.

A civilian officer in bronze armor was flattering at him, and there were four ironclad men standing on each side, and the formation was somewhat like that of a prisoner.

"You brought these waist cards?" Seeing the arrival of the three people, the civilian officer's face changed, and he said in a vicious voice.

"Who are you?" Dugu Jingyun did not answer the question, his expression was calm, without the slightest fear.

"Bold! I am the highest officer of the Meritorious Service. How bold it is for you, a little prisoner on death row, to speak to me like this!" roared the civilian officer in exasperation.

"Why don't you just ask! Even if you are in a high position, you don't have to make such a fuss!" Dugu said disdainfully.

"Hmph!" the civilian officer snorted coldly, and then asked, "I ask you where these waist cards come from?"

Dugu looked at him with contempt: "What do you say, can you find it on the street? ”

"Presumptuous! You think it's cabbage, you can find it everywhere!" the civilian officer sneered.

"Did I say I was looking for it?" Dugu Jingyun's face was solemn, and he said seriously.

"You!" the civilian officer suddenly found that he had been tricked by a small death row prisoner, and immediately became angry and shouted, "Say! Where did it come from?"

"Bloody battlefield, heroic killing, nine deaths"

"Hahaha" The silver-armored captain, who had never spoken, suddenly burst out laughing wildly, and his face trembled with laughter.

"What a madman who doesn't know whether to live or die! How can you ant-like death row prisoners kill two thousand-commanders, twelve centurions. Any one of them can pinch you to death with a single finger. ”

"Oh, according to this chief, only a brave and heroic captain like the chief who is dressed in silver armor has the ability to kill them one by one?" Dugu Jingyun said with a look of sudden awakening.

"That's natural! But it's a snap of a finger, no fuss. Captain Silverarmor waved his hand effortlessly.

When Dongfang Xiong and Lu Canglang on the side heard this, their blood went to their brains, their teeth clenched faintly, and their fists were sweaty.

Dugu Jingyun was still not in a hurry or impatient, and responded without being salty or indifferent: "The chief is mighty! It's just that by accident, these waist cards were lost."

"You know that, you're very smart, hahaha," Captain Silverarmor laughed out loud with satisfaction.

"That's us death row prisoners taking the lead to lead the army?" Dugu squinted, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness.

"Hehe! Nian'er and others don't know the military regulations, and it's the first offense, so the official will open up here and won't pursue it. He waved his hand generously, "Go ahead!" This matter will be stopped, and you must not make a public announcement, lest it be difficult for the official to do it. After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at the civilian officer on the side, revealing a smug look.

"Haha!ha" Dugu Jingyun suddenly laughed wildly, and at the same time used the method of thousands of miles of sound transmission to transmit the laughter into the handsome tent not far away.

"As a high-ranking general in the army, you dare to flout military regulations, know the law and break the law, and use your power to risk leading the army's merits, even if you have your hands and eyes to the sky, you can hide it from the eyes and ears of the world. However, can you hide it from the sky? People are doing it, the sky is watching, military law is like a mountain, and military law is ruthless!"

"Shut up, shut up!" the civilian officer stopped in horror.

The silver-armored captain was a little confused, and immediately came back to his senses, and roared furiously: "Come on, take down these death row prisoners who have taken the lead in leading the army!" and then added, "Behead the public immediately!"

When the ironclad men on both sides heard this, they were about to make a move, when suddenly there was one more person in the tent, covered in golden armor, with a compelling momentum, and their eyes flashed.

From the figure on the back alone, Dugu Jingyun recognized this person as the middle-aged general standing on the high platform before the expedition.

"General Wu!" Captain Silverarmor stood up in horror, "they"

General Jinjia Wu raised his hand and said in a cold voice: "The marshal wants to personally inquire into this matter, you just wait patiently for the result!" Then he turned around, looked at the three of them, and frowned slightly, the three juvenile death row prisoners were alarmed, and there was no panic and uneasiness in the face of his own might, so calm that he was like a pool of clear water, so calm that he would not blink even if the sword was added. Whoever ignores it is unlucky.

"Come with me!" said in a much softer tone, turned to put away the cards on the table, and strode out of the tent.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and followed with a light step. General Jinjia Wu turned his head abruptly, looked behind him, and saw the three of them following unhurriedly, and his heart was slightly shocked again, he didn't hear the footsteps behind him, could it be that they had also practiced martial arts?

"Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

"Yes!" Dugu replied dryly.

"Why can't you feel the fluctuation of the Yuan Force on your body?" General Jinjia Wu asked.

"The cultivation is too low, and the Yuan Force is weak," Dugu Jingyun defended.

"Forget it! I don't want to say it, don't force it. Everyone has their own secrets. General Jinjia Wu didn't mean to be angry, and his tone was very calm, "It's here, you guys go in, be careful when you speak!"

"General Xie takes care of you!" Dugu Jingyun thanked sincerely, his impression of this General Wu was quite good.

"What's your name?"

"Lonely and frightened. ”

"I'm optimistic about you!" General Wu smiled meaningfully, handed the waist card in his hand to the soldiers guarding the door, and quickly turned to leave.
