Chapter 39: Clues
Zhu Xiaoqi was lying naked on the bed, beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolling down his forehead. Every time Zhao Tie Dan pulled out the silver needle on his back, it brought the pain of being extinguished.
"Iron Courage, don't you have any empathy?" Zhu Xiaoqi struggled to raise his head and yelled at him.
"Seventh brother, I have to listen to the squad leader, I don't want to be like them. Zhao Tietang pointed behind him. In the heel of the wall, ten recruits in military trousers stood facing the wall, with a bowl of water on their heads and a few needles on their backs. Because they stood by and watched during the fight, they were all "poisoned" by Leng Yunfei after returning to the class.
"Brothers, I'm sorry, it's all my pick!" Zhu Xiaoqi looked at the recruits who were in distress and said apologetically.
"Brother Qi, don't say that! I will remember this lesson, and next time I fight, let's go together!"
"Yes, it doesn't matter if he is Mo Tianci or Mo Dici, as long as he dares to move a group of people, we will fuck him together!"
"Brother Seventh can give us a squad leader face this time, and we will have to fight in the future!"
The recruits said excitedly, forgetting the pain on their bodies for a while. Zhu Xiaoqi looked at the high-spirited recruits and couldn't help laughing. Although he lost in the end, the process of the battle made him feel like he was reborn. His appearance undoubtedly set a glorious example for his comrades-in-arms, arousing the fighting spirit and desire for honor in their hearts. The first class is slowly becoming a united collective, and he believes that they will definitely gain something in the coming months. Because there is not only a squad leader Leng Yunfei who is full of mystery, but also a deputy squad leader named Zhu Xiaoqi.
"At the rate at which you sweat, it is estimated that you will lose several pounds in two hours. The squad leader is too powerful, Brother Seven, you are expected to lose weight!" Zhao Tie Dan pulled out the silver needle, sat on the edge of the bed and took a towel to help him wipe the sweat off his forehead.
"It's hopeful, it's hopeful, but only if my brother doesn't die of pain. Zhu Xiaoqi smiled bitterly.
This night, Zhu Xiaoqi slept exceptionally sweetly. A trace of spiritual power leaked out of the surface of his bulging skin, quietly converging into his sea of qi, naturally circulating in the five spiritual veins, quickly repairing the damage suffered by his body.
While he was asleep, Leng Yunfei got up several times and came to his bed and quietly checked his physical condition. After each examination, he excitedly clenched his fist and waved it vigorously in front of his chest.
This night, Lan Xinyue and Donna both had insomnia.
Lan Xinyue's heart was full of confusion and confusion. She didn't know why she suddenly returned Zhu Xiaoqi's gift after Mo Tianci appeared. She didn't know why when the two fought, she subconsciously stood on Zhu Xiaoqi's side. And Zhu Xiaoqi's unexpected outburst not only shocked her, but also made the chubby figure more and more blurred and farther and farther away from her.
On the other bed, Donna's heart was also distressed. She hates Zhu Xiaoqi, because in the game of feelings, she has always taken the initiative, and no one makes her feel humiliated like Zhu Xiaoqi. However, when it came to revenge on him, the boy's magical watch attracted her like a magnet. She still vividly remembered the hot sensation that he had buried his head in her chest.
"Sister Na, what's going on with you and Xiao Qi?" Lan Xinyue's voice sounded in the darkness.
"When I was on the island, I used to want to eat him, but he refused me. So, I've been looking for a chance to fix him. Donna said calmly. She could see that Lan Xinyue, the girl, actually had the shadow of Zhu Xiaoqi in her heart, and she didn't want the two to drift apart because of a misunderstanding.
"Oh?" Lan Xinyue said in surprise, "This can't be, right? This afternoon, he looked like he was obsessed with you!"
"Don't you see that he deliberately made a show this afternoon? I guess he was probably stimulated by something, and he wanted to fight with Mo Tianci. Donna laughed.
Lan Xinyue panicked in her heart.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Donna said again: "Although Mo Tianci won this time, he was almost made unable to step down by Zhu Xiaoqi, and it is estimated that the matter between the two is not over yet." The Mo family and the Wu family have been relatively close in recent years, you have to try to reconcile in the middle, otherwise Xiao Qi will have trouble in the future. ”
"You mean Wu Chen's business?" Lan Xinyue asked with a frown.
"Yes, that stinky boy can't stand the messy things that he did, let alone the majestic young master of the Wu family!" Donna smiled bitterly.
"Okay, I'll give it a try!" Lan Xinyue sighed lightly.
This night, there was also Mo Tianci who had no intention of sleeping. He sat under a tree in front of his dormitory, quietly looking at the full moon in the sky. Li Yuncong, a recruit in the same class as him and his best friend, sat with a cigar in his mouth and swallowed the clouds.
"God, joining the army is also a kind of cultivation for you, on this road you must show your dedication to pursuing martial arts, defeat any opponent that appears in front of you, and become a general as soon as possible. When the time comes, you will find that the army is the most feared force on this continent. Any strong person, even a martial saint or even a more powerful being, in the face of the rolling iron flow formed by thousands of troops, will eventually be unable to escape the fate of annihilation. Master's parting advice echoed in Mo Tianci's mind.
"The army, it's really a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden!" Recalling the battle with Zhu Xiaoqi in the afternoon, he couldn't help but let out a light sigh. If you look at that fight as a battle, the fat man is obviously a better commander. When the situation was extremely unfavorable to his side, he rationally allocated the forces in his hands, forcing him to use reserve forces to barely achieve victory. If the power in his hands is stronger, it will not be difficult to turn the tables. On top of that, after the battle, the fat man got the qiē he wanted, while he was empty-handed. Perhaps the only gain is the discovery of one of the recruits who can be used as an opponent.
"Still thinking about the afternoon?" Li Yuncong puffed out the smoke ring and turned his head to look at him.
"Hmm. I wanted to learn the good points of my opponents, but I found that there were some things that I couldn't learn. Mo Tianci nodded.
"There are some things that you can't learn. Li Yuncong smiled faintly, "A mouthful of blood was vomited twice, and he took the opportunity to get into the arms of two beauties, this is talent." If you know, you won't be a godsend. ”
"Playing hooligans is also a talent?" Mo Tianci smiled dumbly.
"Of course. Who is Lan Xinyue? Who is Donna? If he dares, it shows that he has the bottom in his heart. Watching the battle in the afternoon, Li Yuncong gained a lot, and Zhu Xiaoqi's instant burst of light left a deep impression on him.
"You admire him very much?" Mo Tianci looked at him, his brows furrowed. Li Yuncong's IQ is very high, and his ability to analyze and predict the situation is even better. Taking him into Xishan, Mo Tianci wanted to train him to be his future think tank and form a powerful staff camp.
"Not appreciation. It's just my gut that tells me that this thing is hard to entangle. So, I want to remind you that you can treat him as an opponent, but it's better not to turn him into an enemy. Li Yuncong looked at the sky and whispered.
Late at night, the lights were still on in the inner court of the palace and in the imperial study.
Long Xiaoyun sat on the soft chair, holding a knife in his hand and examining it carefully, his expression gradually becoming extremely gloomy. In another soft chair beside him sat a thin man in his forties. It was already a little hot in Haiyue City in June, but he was wrapped in a thick mink coat, revealing only a pale face, and his eyes were also sleepy.
This sick man is the commander of the Northwest Theater of Operations, General Xiao Yanli, an imperial shield that shoulders the heavy responsibility of the northwest defense of the Tianlong Empire, so that the two empires of Rising Sun and Fengwu dare not take lightly.
"This knife is the gift you brought me when you came back this time?" Long Xiaoyun put the long knife in his hand on the coffee table, turned his head to look at Xiao Wanli, and asked in a deep voice.
"Cough-cough-" Xiao gradually coughed violently, and a flush rose on his pale face. He tightened his coat hard and nodded.
"If Mu Bai is still here, you will be able to recuperate. This disease is getting worse and worse!" Long Xiaoyun looked at him, his eyes full of worry.
"I'm used to the cold in the northwest, and I'm a little uncomfortable coming back. Xiao gradually smiled and said, "But rest assured, if the affairs of the Li family are not revealed one day, I will not be able to die." ”
"You're shaking my faith in pursuing this matter. Long Xiaoyun smiled bitterly, "If there is a war in Tianlong, it must come from the northwest. Your shield also protects the empire from the wind and rain!"
"If it's just Mu Bai, I'm just that. A glint flashed in Xiao Yanli's dim eyes, "But judging from all indications, from the beginning of Mu Bai's defeat, a huge conspiracy against the Li family and the empire has begun. I want to see who's behind it, and I want to see if they can withstand the trampling of thousands of troops!"
A solemn aura permeated the imperial study. Long Xiaoyun felt that the years had not overshadowed the light of this shield.
"Where did this knife come from?" he asked. He has been secretly investigating the affairs of the Li family, but unfortunately he has found nothing. Now, the appearance of this knife has brought a ray of light. Its material is very similar to the weapon used by the bandits who attacked Li Xiaowan's father and brother under the Yinshan Blood Tomb.
"Blackwater. Xiao Yanli replied softly.
"Good. After the training camp at the Xishan Exercise Ground was over, I sent someone to investigate the matter. Long Xiaoyun nodded.
"Good. That's what I thought, too. Xiaowan said that she accepted a righteous son on behalf of Mubai, and she is currently training in Xishan. She said that this kid has good qualifications and is a genius who practices martial arts. I think if he can stand out in the training camp, I might as well let him be involved in it. ”
Long Xiaoyun was obviously a little surprised when he heard the news. After pondering for a moment, he made a decision.
"Of course, this is good, and it is also a comfort to the Li family. But the premise is that he can pass the metamorphosis assessment that you have drawn up yourself. If he can create a miracle, I will give him the opportunity to revive the Li family!"
