Following the team to trot all the way to the front, the injury in his chest was faintly painful, making Qin Zhen a little out of breath.

"General, are you looking for me?"

Today's love is still white, revealing a detachment and uninhibitedness.

With a faint smile in the corner of his eyes, Zhong Yi looked at Qin Zhen: "How are you injured?" ”

"Out of the way." Qin Zhen responded.

Zhong Yi smiled and asked, "That's good!" Listen to Zhenwei (Taishi Wangzi) said, you have made a lot of efforts in this crackdown on bandits, and you will always have clear rewards and punishments, and you will be rewarded for your merits, I don't know what reward you want? ”

Not to mention anything else, the vaults of the Huang and Chen families, accumulated over a hundred years, are only a lot more!

With such a large sum of money, can you not be happy?

"It is my wish to eliminate harm for the people, so why should I be rewarded?" Qin Zhen is colorful.

"Little Brother Qin is really high-spirited!" Adjutant Wang said in a weird manner: "If the world is full of benevolent and righteous people like Little Brother Qin, what else do you need us to do as soldiers?" The world has long been peaceful! ”

Ning Huang made up a knife without mercy: "Don't reward those who are soldiers, so what do you want?" The wine is not stained with wealth, but I am afraid that this Qin Zhen has a big picture! ”

Life is to talk and laugh with enemies.

In the face of the cynicism of the two, Qin Zhen looked calm and asked rhetorically.

"Dare to ask General Zhongyi, why did you join the army?"

Zhong Yi said proudly: "I think it is to drive out the Northern Barbarians, level the evil platform, recover the lost territory, and defend the country!" ”

For a person of his level, ordinary rewards and utilitarianism are no longer so important. The Zhong family is a double prince, and has almost reached the top of being a human minister, and as the son of the marquis of Zhenguo, he likes to pursue his own ambitions and life ideals.

"Does the general know why I joined the army?"

Everyone was waiting for Qin Zhen's answer.

Qin Zhen's answer was only two simple words.

"Alive."

Adjutant Wang laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "If you are afraid of death, why do you want to be a soldier?" In the army, there have always been only soldiers who live to die, and there are no soldiers who steal their lives. ”

Ning Shu also smiled, his eyes full of disdain: "People who are greedy for life and afraid of death are also worthy of my great merchant sailor?" ”

Tai Shiwang frowned slightly, obviously not very satisfied with Qin Zhen's answer.

Zhong Yi quietly looked at Qin Zhen, as if he wanted to see through this young man's heart through this calm face.

Facing Adjutant Wang and Ning Sheng's sneer, Qin Zhen asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask the two generals, if you join the army, you will definitely die, how can you join the army?" ”

"Naturally! The fate of our soldiers is to be shrouded in horse leather and die on the battlefield! Adjutant Wang was babbling nonsense that he didn't believe.

Qin Zhen believes that there are such soldiers, but they should be people like Yongjun Hou, not Adjutant Wang! The former is to protect the family and defend the country, while the latter is just to be promoted and make a fortune.

Qin Zhen didn't have such a high consciousness, he joined the army just to live.

Zhong Yi looked at Qin Zhen thoughtfully and suddenly asked.

"How's your recruiting going?"

Qin Zhen's original plan was to return to the small fishing village to recruit 1,000 people, but because the mountain bandits attacked the village, the reserve team suffered heavy casualties, and Qin Zhen only took 200 people with them.

"Back to the general, there is still a gap of 800 people at the moment." Qin Zhen said in a deep voice.

Zhong Yi groaned: "It just so happens that there is still a vacancy in the White Horse Battalion under General Wang, so you will go to serve under him and temporarily take over the position of protector." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Zhen did not move on the surface, but he was very bitter in his heart.

Although Zhong Yi had already told him that he would be placed under Ning Xianbei as a pair of eyes and ears.

But when this innocence came, Qin Zhen still felt very aggrieved and tricky.

Adjutant Wang obviously didn't expect that Zhong Yi would put Qin Zhen into his tent so blatantly, didn't it make it clear that he would give him eye medicine?

But before he could speak, Zhong Yi took the first step and said: "General Wang, this son is reckless, please take care of it." ”

"General Zhong, should this matter be discussed with General Ning?" Adjutant Wang didn't dare to offend Zhong on his face, so he could only judge and say: "You don't know, the position of the protector of the White Horse Battalion has been selected, if it is ......"

"I should have human rights, right?" Zhong Yi said coldly: "Is it possible that this little thing must be discussed with Ning Xianbei?" Dashang Shui Shi, shouldn't he be surnamed Ning? ”

This is already very serious, and the meaning of the threat of beating is obvious.

Where does Adjutant Wang dare to say more? You can only bow your head and agree.

In his heart, he was thinking, even if Qin Zhen came, what would happen? He has more ways to make Qin Zhen unable to stay! Moreover, Qin Zhen fell into his hands, didn't he just take it and humiliate him?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

After Qin Zhen left, Tai Shiwang couldn't help but whisper: "General, Qin Zhen and Ning are injured in the same way, you let him go to the command of the surnamed Wang, isn't this pushing him into the fire pit?" Ning Sheng would never let him go. ”

"Isn't that right?" Zhong Yi smiled.

Tai Shiwang was puzzled.

Zhong Yi didn't explain too much, but said meaningfully: "If Qin Zhen wants to live, he can only serve me." ”

Seeing Qin Zhen coming back, Shanhai was the first to come up.

"Zhen'er, how's it going? What did General Zhong do with you? ”

"Good news, bad news, which do you want to hear first?" Qin Zhen responded weakly.

"Good news!" Shanhai couldn't wait to say.

"General Zhong asked me to take over the White Horse Battalion as the protector of the army."

"And what about the bad news?" Zhao Yu then asked.

"The bad news is that the White Horse Camp is under Adjutant Wang."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"This favorite is clearly to make it clear that we want our brothers to die!" Chen Shu frowned, as a former member of the Flying Fish Battalion, he was very aware of the cruelty of factions, internal friction, and party strife in the Great Shang army.

Zhong Yi and Ning Xianbei don't deal with each other, Qin Zhen and Ning Zhen don't share the sky, and now Zhong Yi has inserted Qin Zhen into Ning Xianbei's tent, can Qin Zhen still be good? The official level crushed people to death, and Ning Xianbei wanted to kill Qin Zhen, it was like a joke.

"Zhen'er, if you can't do it, let's escape." Chen Shu said in a low voice: "This Dongwanggang is the ghost gate, I can't go there!" ”

"Now that we're gone, we're deserters, and you know better than me what happens to deserters." Qin Zhen smiled bitterly, seeing that everyone was worried, he couldn't help but start to comfort everyone: "Don't worry, General Zhong Yi must have a reason for arranging it like this, if General Zhong Yi really wants me to die, why save me?" ”

This is indeed the principle.

But as soon as they thought of going to Ning Xianbei's tent, everyone pressed a mountain in their hearts, as if they were not going to the military camp, but the Longtan Tiger's Den.

"On the bright side, the Ning family will definitely not touch you, but I'm afraid that they will come to the yin!" Chen Shu was still frowning, he knew too well what kind of tricks those high-flying things would make.

How many loyal and brave people, who did not die at the hands of the enemy, were stabbed in the back by traitors.

"Don't worry."

Qin Zhen squeezed out a smile.

"I know what I know."
