Chapter 20: It's hard to be confused
In the middle of the night, when they walked towards the cafeteria, on the top of a nearby attic, a pair of eyes stared at them tightly through the cracks in the blinds, and there was a murderous intent in their eyes.
"Of these people, at least half of them will have to be killed!" the owner of the eye slowly spat out a sentence. This person is not very tall, he is wearing civilian clothes, and he looks a little kind, it is Hu Kuan.
With a few flutters, a small bird flew in the distance and landed on another window in the attic, tilting its head and pecking at the window. Hu Kuan withdrew his gaze from Ling Ye and them, turned to see the bird, grabbed a handful of millet from a small bag on the side, walked over quickly, and carefully sprinkled it on the table in front of the window.
When the bird saw the millet, it flew down and pecked at it. Hu Kuan carefully grabbed it, took something from its foot, and slowly unfolded it, but it was a tightly rolled note.
There were only three words written on the paper: "Done!"
These three words are written crookedly, scribbled and ugly, almost no different from the words written by children who have just learned to write in the school, which makes people frown. Hu Kuan smiled as if he had seen a love letter from his dream lover, and grabbed a handful of millet and scattered it to the bird.
He threw the note into the small stove next to him and burned it, looked at the ashes, and smiled: "You still want to grab my handle to bring me down? Hehe, it's not that easy!"
He picked up the pen, wrote a few words on a piece of paper with his left hand, and then rolled them into a roll, tied them to the bird's leg, and patted its head lightly with his index finger: "Eat, eat!

Also in the training camp, in another attic, Li Hei was standing in front of a corpse and watching. It was the corpse of a strong man, and there was a bruise on his face that looked very new, as if he had been beaten with a stick or something, it was the same strong man who ran to their dormitory yesterday to incite rebellion, and Li Hei wanted to stay and interrogate.
Now, the brawny man had turned into a stiff corpse, the fatal wound was in the neck, with a deep wound on it, and the throat had been severed. Even if the most cruel punishment of the empire was inflicted on him, he would never be able to speak.
There were several officers and soldiers standing with their hands hanging on the side, and they didn't dare to breathe. Li Hei asked them to take care of this strong man, but this strong man still died, they were seriously derelict in their duties, and they were not allowed to be dragged out and cut down by the chief instructor.
Li Hei didn't look at them, but leaned over to look at the corpse for a while, stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Carry it away!
A stout officer asked aloud, "What about them, chief instructor?" as he spoke, pointing to the derelict officers and soldiers. This man's name is Mo Yun, and he is Li Hei's adjutant.
Li Hei said lightly: "Each of them will be punished with fifty boards and fined one month's salary!"
The officers and men all showed a look of relief on their faces. Compared to being dragged out and cut, this punishment is simply too light, and it is extraordinarily gracious.
Mo Yun said: "That's it?"
Li Hei waved his hand to let the officers and soldiers carry the corpses out to see that there was no one in the house, and then slowly said to Mo Yun: "Otherwise, what else? It's not their fault!"
Mo Yun looked puzzled: "Nothing wrong?
Li Hei smiled: "There are some things, it's better to pretend to be confused, it's rare to be confused!" As he spoke, he picked up a wine jar, poured two bowls casually, and handed one to Mo Yun: "Drink!
Although Mo Yun was full of doubts, he still craned his neck and drank the wine. Li Hei laughed and said, "Okay! I like your alcohol consumption and obedience!"

"Why do I think that what you said yesterday seems to be stupid? Ah, Brother Ling, I didn't say you were stupid, I said ......"
When they took a nap after dinner, Lin Yuannan and Ling Ye sat away from the crowd and whispered to him.
Ling Ye said lightly: "Do you mean, did I say yesterday why someone instructed that strong man to come over and incite everyone to rebel?"
Lin Yuannan nodded again and again: "When I think about it carefully, I always feel that something is not right, and it is not very reasonable." If you really want to find out the people who are dissatisfied and want to rebel, can you go to such great lengths? In particular, the person behind this is Hu Kuan, who wants to kill us, is it so important to pay attention to the reason?"
Ling Ye shrugged his shoulders, carefully noticed that there was no one else around, and then said lightly: "If you can, you can't, and you don't know if you know." I'm pretending to be confused, pretending not to know. It's a way to protect yourself!"
Lin Yuannan's eyes lit up: "Brother Ling, have you also learned the art of war?"
Ling Ye snorted. Lin Yuannan looked at him with a little more reverence in his eyes: "You know so many things, I thought that only I had read the military book for a few days." ”
Ling Ye said lightly: "My father taught me." ”
Lin Yuannan sighed, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and he turned back to the previous topic: "Do you think, why does Hu Kuan want to kill us?"
A sneering smile appeared on Ling Ye's face: "Have you noticed that he is not eye-catching with Li Hei?"
Lin Yuannan nodded. Ling Ye said coldly: "This is the most obvious reason. As for the further reason, I don't know now, and I don't want to know. What does their intrigue have to do with me? For me, I just need to know that Hu Kuan wants us to die, and I don't want to die, and that's enough. ”
Lin Yuannan smiled: "You don't seem to care about a lot of things. ”
Ling Ye shrugged his shoulders: "There are too many things you care about, aren't people tired?
“...... Say it like you're happy......"
Ling Ye smiled faintly and changed the topic: "Soak in the venom to practice, are you afraid?"
Lin Yuannan was silent for a while, and then said: "I really hope that I am really confused at this time!"
A sneering smile appeared on Ling Ye's face: "If I'm not mistaken, the so-called pills that will be sent to us at that time to promote practice will still be poisonous. ”
Lin Yuanan smiled bitterly: "Brother Ling, don't you think that once you take that Xuanhuang pill and die, can you turn back except for going down step by step, soaking the medicinal liquid, and eating their elixir?"
Midnight was silent. He couldn't tell Lin Yuannan now that he hadn't actually taken that pill, so he could only say, "I guess, these pills and liquid liquid are nine times out of ten concocted by ghost doctors." I guess no one here will toss these things except him!"
The two of them were relatively silent for a while, and Que De shouted in the distance: "Get up, get up! Don't want to be lazy, it's time to practice! The silver that the empire spends on you every day is enough for a hundred families to live a good life for a year!"
