Chapter 198: The Situation Is Grim
Entering Canglan City along the city gate, watching the city gate close tightly, the major officer in charge of guarding the city gate led people to the front of Lu Yuan.
If we compare the level of the army with the level of the administrative system, the major is actually one level lower than the mayor of a fourth-level city like Canglan City.
Therefore, in the face of Lu Yuan's appearance, even if there is no homogeneity between them, the major must come to salute.
The difference between the top and the bottom, within the borders of the empire, has unquestionable prestige.
"Major, what's your name?"
Originally, I thought it was just a formality, and after the salute, I planned to return to the major at the city gate, but before I could turn around, I suddenly heard Lu Yuan ask.
"Back to the words of the high-ranking officials, the next official Zhou Wu. ”
The Major was stunned for a moment, then leaned over and replied.
"Major Zhou, can you explain to me why you didn't allow the four of them to enter the city when Ye Ning and the four of them returned to the city gate, not only drove the four of them away, but also threatened with force and put on a posture of wanting to shoot the four of them?"
Lu Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Ning, and asked expressionlessly.
Zhou Wu was completely stunned at this moment.
Because he didn't expect that the number one person in Moxi Province, the head of a province, would speak specifically for Ye Ning and the four of them.
And also put on such a posture to be held accountable?
Why is this happening?
Zhou Wu couldn't figure it out, because in his opinion, the identity gap between Ye Ning and Lu Yuan was destined to have no connection with each other.
The level of high-ranking officials, even if you look at the entire empire, are really big people in the clouds, no matter how much the empire treats students preferentially, it is impossible to come forward to support ordinary students at will as high-ranking officials.
Not to mention the involvement of the military?
But it's ...... At this moment, Lu Yuan questioned him because of Ye Ning and the others!
What the hell is going on?
Zhou Wu felt that he must have overlooked some very important issues!
Before, he only knew that the Canglan Sword Sect had suffered a big loss in this preliminary test, and the two subordinate high schools were directly disqualified from participating in the preliminary examination, and they were also involved in two very troublesome cases.
All of this started because of a few students from Dusty High School.
As for the more specific situation, Zhou Wu is completely unclear, after all, he is a member of the army, and he only lives in the barracks on weekdays, and his contact with the outside world is really limited.
The relationship with the Canglan Sword Sect is also due to the fact that his father is a member of the Canglan Sword Sect, and he graduated from the Second High School affiliated to the Canglan Sword Sect, so he is naturally extremely close to the Canglan Sword Sect, and even full of hostility towards the Dust Washing High School.
That's why Fang Cai did such a thing after hearing that Ye Ning admitted that he was a student of Xichen High School.
Originally, Zhou Wu thought that there were just a few ordinary students, but the current situation was so troublesome that Canglan City had even begun to ask for help from other surrounding cities.
The whole city is in a state of war, and even if he kills a few students at this time, it is unlikely that he will cause any waves.
But they never expected that these ordinary students not only met the high-ranking official Lu Yuan for some reason after leaving, but also let Lu Yuan speak out to support them!
All of a sudden, Zhou Wu was a little flustered.
These thoughts are said a lot, but in fact, they flashed in Zhou Wu's mind, looking at the expressionless face in front of him, Zhou Wu could only stubbornly say: "Back to the words of the high-ranking officials, the war regulations, without an order, the city gate cannot be opened!"
"Oh, then, why did you open the gates when I came back just now? Do you say that how the military orders are carried out depends on your own feelings? Or how you explain them? It is up to you to decide how far you want to carry them out?"
Lu Yuan's voice became colder and colder.
These words are also very heart-wrenching.
At least Zhou Wu didn't know how to answer at all, because no matter how he answered...... None of that seems right.
"Your Excellency, we are just carrying out orders, and please don't deliberately embarrass you. You return to the vicissitudes, and of course no one dares to intercept you. Even if you have a military order, your status is there, and the rules are for you...... It's not meant to be observed, it's completely destructive. But for the others, we still have to carry out the military orders to the letter!"
Zhou Wu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to answer strongly.
Lu Yuan's attitude has already been shown, even if he admits his mistake at this time, it is useless to think about it, but it will give Lu Yuan a reason to start.
It's better to be tough to the end and put all the trouble on the military order.
After all, administrative officials and the military are not subordinate to each other, and they will have some scruples if they want to travel far away.
Sure enough, Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, just looked at Zhou Wu coldly for a while, and then said: "The state of war, I won't worry about you for the time being." But you remember, this thing doesn't end there. The beast tide is coming soon, and I won't affect the army defending the city because of other things. But when I resist this beast tide, I will settle accounts with you. ”
After speaking, Lu Yuan turned around and left.
Ye Ning and the others naturally wanted to follow, but Zhou Wu stood in place with a pale face, and there was a panic in his heart.
Lu Yuan's meaning was very clear, and his tough attitude obviously completely angered Lu Yuan.
A major in the army, facing the wrath of a high-ranking official...... At least within the borders of the empire, there is no possibility of turning over.
Thinking of the tragic situation he was likely to face, Zhou Wu felt a deep sense of regret in his heart.
Why did you suddenly embarrass those four dust-washing high school students on a whim?
Strictly speaking, the Canglan Sword Sect has no interest relationship with itself, and if it is angry for the Canglan Sword Sect, where is it important to have its own future?
However, it has come to this point, regret is useless, the only way is ...... The only way to contact your contacts as soon as possible is to see if you can find an opportunity to alleviate this matter.
"You didn't take him down on the spot, aren't you in a hurry?"
Sitting on the shuttle, on the way to the city hall, Lu Yuan sat in the co-pilot's seat and asked without looking back.
Lin Chuxia and Ye Ning sat in the back seat of the shuttle, and as for Du Fei and Tang Qi, they were sitting in the other shuttle car behind them with the entourage who was far away.
"What's there to worry about, the most important thing at the moment is to resist the sudden appearance of the beast tide, anything else, compared to the beast tide, is a trivial matter. Therefore, it is natural to wait until the beast tide is over before dealing with it. ”
Ye Ning said with a smile.
"It's good if you can understand it, this beast tide is very troublesome, and it can even be said that it ...... It is the first time in the history of the empire that it has to face the threat from the beast tide, and no matter which angle you look at it, you must face it with the most careful attitude. It is impossible to resist it only by relying on the garrison of Canglan City, and I have given an urgent notice to send troops from other cities to assist in the defense, hoping to ...... It's in time. ”
Lu Yuan said in a very heavy tone.
