Chapter 339 - Evil?
To say that Ma Lu's news is still relatively reliable, it is not groundless, because soon Lin Yan received the appointment handed down from above.
There is nothing special about it, the main thing is that the cavalry Yan Ling performed well in this war, and he was specially commended, and he was promoted to the Cangzhou Mansion Cavalry Team, hoping to continue to be loyal to the country or something.
To be honest, it is not okay to be appointed as a cavalry all at once, which Lin Yan did not expect, because the level leap is too big! You know, before that, he was just a small soldier.
Thinking about it carefully, Lin Yan probably understood the above meaning, it is nothing more than that the Tang State is now in turmoil after this war, and it is necessary to set up some examples to stabilize the morale of the army, and Lin Yan is one of them.
If you are an ordinary soldier, I am afraid that I will be happy for a long time when I get this news, and I will think about how to repay the grace of the king and the country! But Lin Yan is different, not only is he not excited, but he is a little sad, because he feels that things are going to change!
Originally, he was quite good at honing his martial arts skills on the battlefield alone, but now he suddenly let him manage people, but he was a little uncomfortable.
I have to say that Lin Yan's brain circuit is a little strange, others can't ask for such a good thing, but it has become a source of trouble for him.
However, this kind of appointment is not subject to his will, as long as he remains in the Tang camp, he must accept it obediently! Although it was troublesome, it was not to the point where Lin Yan had to run away with a knife.
With the appointment of Lin Yan, all the important positions below the autonomous officials of Cangzhou Mansion will be filled in a short period of time, which makes people have to sigh at the speed of efficiency!
With the person in charge, the reconstruction work is not to be worried, it is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the worst damage of the Battalion A has been re-established, but the familiar faces are missing.
In addition to the recruitment of some soldiers from other places to replenish them, the rest needs to be replenished by conscription. Not to mention that this is a time-consuming and laborious job, even with the addition of new recruits, it is not an overnight thing to restore the previous combat effectiveness.
Moreover, after all, it is not the people of the past, this is the most cruel and helpless thing!
Everyone lives in the world, but how many have ever lived? Those people who Lin Yan is familiar with went and died for the country, although they don't say that they have no regrets, but they have no regrets!
Lin Yan finally accepted the identity of not being able to do it, and at the same time learned to teach these recruits the deeds of veterans that he had heard, seen and learned at the beginning, which can be regarded as a kind of inheritance! In any case, the will of the Cangzhou Jiazi Battalion has not been broken!
Fortunately, the barbarians have not attacked the Tang border in the past few months, whether it is because the army is resting due to the previous war, or if the other party has some other conspiracy, at least it is calm for now!
This also brought a respite to the war-torn Cangzhou Mansion, otherwise, with the strength of the Cangzhou Mansion Army now, if you fight with the barbarians again, you will only be crushed!
But now, everything is different! The original recruits have grown and gradually inherited the will of the army. Although he is a little immature, as long as he has received the baptism of the battlefield, he will complete his transformation and become a real iron warrior!
The Tang people are invincible, they have a toughness in their bones, and they are still strong after thousands of blows, perhaps this is the reason why the Tang Kingdom is strong!
Months have passed in the blink of an eye, but the pain caused by the war has not disappeared, but has been buried by people, who seem to have become accustomed to facing the pain, only occasionally secretly recalling the pain and licking the scars in the dead of night!
Lin Yan's team is justified and responsible, after all, he is in his position and seeks his own politics! He doesn't want to be scolded by the people in the backbone like some pleasure-hungry and extravagant guys!
Recently, he has also been thinking about some problems, that is, these soldiers under his command can't just practice like this, and if they haven't really experienced the cruelty of battlefield fighting, then they will suffer a big loss!
It's like a person who hasn't even killed a chicken before, but suddenly asks him to kill, what he can do without hesitation is that he has a psychological problem!
There is a step-by-step process in everything, and to put it bluntly, you have to adapt, so Lin Yan has an idea, that is-training!
As the old saying goes, "It's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk!" "They are not honor guards, it is useless to practice flowers, it is true that they can fight!
Coincidentally, there happened to be such an incident recently, and it is suspected that there is a cult spreading in the territory of the Tang Kingdom, especially in Cangzhou Prefecture, which has been devastated by the war.
Sometimes, people's psychology is very fragile, especially when they encounter hardship, which also gives some people with ulterior motives the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Cults confuse people with nothing more than two steps: one is "bewilderment" and the other is "belief." Use some means to fascinate you first, so that you can believe even if you don't believe it!
Originally, this was not a matter within the Battalion A, and their main task was to defend against external enemies. But who made Cangzhou Mansion short of manpower now, the task of investigating the cult was assigned, and Lin Yan took the initiative to take it.
The above meaning is very clear, once it is confirmed that the cult is true, there is no need to report it, and it will be eradicated directly! If there is a resistant, shoot and kill!
This can also see the attitude of the Tang Kingdom, if you make trouble in the territory of the Tang Kingdom at this time, you will inevitably bear the anger of the Tang Kingdom!
Lin Yan set off with the cavalry team after reporting to the new captain, they naturally had their own intelligence sources, and they had already inquired about the location of a cult altar, but they didn't alarm the other party for the time being!
Now the big move is to catch it all! Although it should be enough for a cavalry team to deal with the sect division, out of caution, Lin Yan still left some back, ready to ask for help at any time.
Riding his horse and galloping, Lin Yan's thoughts also drifted away, and he remembered some things from the past.
At that time, he had just come out to practice, and he was just a small body forging realm martial artist, and when he passed through "Nai He Town", he encountered a cult called "Hades God Sect".
At that time, the young man was high-spirited, and together with Feng Yichen, Mo Xiaoxiao, Jin Fugui, and Li Tieniu, he dealt with the "Pluto God Sect", defeated the envoy An Daoquan, and rescued the local people.
Later, he learned that the identities of these people were not simple, the first two were disciples of Wudang, Jin Fugui's real name was "Jin Yisi", and he was the second prince, but he didn't know if Li Tieniu was as simple as it seemed on the surface.
After Song Yi and Song Zier, who were rescued at the beginning, left, I don't know if they are okay?
Now Lin Yan is no longer the innocent boy he was at the beginning, and after thinking about it carefully, he feels that An Daoquan's method of summoning the gods of the underworld is similar to the "Death Come" of the Death Song Order, and he can't help but wonder if these evil gods really exist?
Just as his thoughts were diverging, a voice came from beside him: "No, not far ahead is where the sect altar is located!" ”
Lin Yan came back to his senses, glanced at the man, and then said, "You lead the two men and horses to sneak in first, and once confirmed, send a signal immediately!" ”
The man gave up his hand and then took the command.
This person is the head of Lin Yan's subordinates, called Ah Liang, and he is a veteran left behind in Cangzhou Mansion. The team was disrupted during the barbarian invasion, so they ran all the way and stayed here after the war.
Lin Yan saw that this person was capable, so he arranged a position for him as a team leader, so as to restrain the recruits below.
Ah Liang quickly selected soldiers to go with him, and the war horse stayed in place, if he rode directly over, the movement was too big, and the other party was not a fool, he would directly startle the snake and lose the meaning of stealth.
Lin Yan watched them leave, with Ah Liang leading the team, he was still more relieved. Next, it's time to wait for the results!
The time of a stick of incense passed, but it was a long time before Ah Liang came back from the message, and Lin Yan immediately frowned.
"No, I'll investigate!" Lin Yan said.
"No, no! I'll go for it! Liu Daqing on the side said. He, like Ah Liang, is also the leader of Lin Yan's men.
"It's an order, no need to say more!" Lin Yan said.
As a commander, it is very unwise to risk his own life, but he has his own considerations. Now that Ah Liang is out of touch, the situation inside is unknown, even if another Liu Daqing is sent out, it may be the same result, and in the end it can only be "gourd baby to save grandpa", which leads to further deterioration of the situation.
In this way, it is better to go out in person from the beginning, although there is no one in ten now, but at least he has the foundation of a martial artist, and it is easy to deal with anything once it happens, so that things will not be able to turn around.
"But......" Liu Daqing was about to say something, but was interrupted by the gang elder Zhong on the side.
"Okay, Daqing, just listen to the team! He must have his own considerations, we can do our own tasks and be ready to cooperate with the team to attack! "Lao Zhong is very calm, he can be said to be the oldest among the people present, and many years of military camp life have also made him quite experienced.
He will not blindly follow the decision of his boss, but he also has his own ideas and fully cooperates with his own work.
After Lin Yan settled here, he turned over and dismounted, and his figure swept towards the direction where Ah Liang and the others were sneaking before. Although the realm has fallen now, the quality of his martial artist is still there, and his speed is far from comparable to ordinary people!
Soon, he approached the cult altar and infiltrated it without alarming anyone. Inside is a large hall, the layout is eerie and treacherous, there are people on the stage preaching something, and the audience is densely packed with believers, and there are hundreds of people at a cursory glance.
Lin Yan was immediately shocked, this is not a small amount! What the hell is the situation today, so many people have gathered!
Searching among the crowd, he soon found Ah Liang and the others who had come in early, but they looked confused, listening carefully with the rest of the believers, with piety on their faces, obviously blending into them!
Lin Yan's heart immediately sank, Ah Liang and the others had been disguised before they came in, and they had not been recognized for the time being, but they didn't know why they were tricked and became like this!
He squeezed hard to Ah Liang's side, poured vitality into his fingers, and then pressed Ah Liang's eyebrows, and shouted softly in his heart: "Open!" ”
In an instant, a golden vitality entered his body, and Ah Liang came to his senses. Cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he said, "Team Zheng, why are you here?" ”
Lin Yan made a silent gesture and asked quietly, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Ah Liang pondered for a long time, and then said: "After we sneaked in, we were going to observe, so we stopped preaching for a while, and then we didn't remember!" ”
Lin Yan suddenly felt bad when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "Can it affect the spirit?" It seems that this place is really weird! ”
