In the tent of the Chinese army, the negotiating general was discussing with the officers at all levels of the Northeast Frontier Army, and suddenly noticed the fluctuations of heaven and earth vitality coming from the depths of the camp, and heard the subsequent miserable howl, and couldn't help but change his expression slightly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

One of the generals suddenly tightened his expression, stood up and prepared to rush out of the tent.

The negotiating general stared at him coldly and asked in a cold voice, "Leng Feng, what do you want to do?"

The border army general named Leng Feng turned around and looked at General Shu, whose face was like iron, and finally understood why there was such a meeting today. He forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and explained in a deep voice: "There is movement in the camp, maybe there is an enemy spy infiltrating, and the general, as a partial general of the Shanzi battalion, should go to inspect it." ”

"No need. ”

The level of the negotiating general was far above Leng Feng, and he looked at the other party expressionlessly and said, "The imperial court is on a mission, so you don't need to go to the inspection." ”

Leng Feng was hit hard in the chest, worried about the situation over there, and worried that if it was really the imperial court checking on the horse thief, it might be more involved, so he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Why doesn't the last general know what the imperial court is investigating? And now that it is deep in the wasteland, could it be that the imperial court will send someone to investigate." ”

The negotiating general slammed the table and shouted: "Presumptuous, do you still need to explain to you, a little general, when the court does business! You shut up for me, and then sit down!"

The pale-faced middle-aged man was the leader of the horse thieves who were killing the grain team on the wasteland, he looked at Xu Chen's face with blank eyes, and said weakly: "Since you can find me, why do you have to ask who I am?"

"I can find you because I guessed your identity, but I can't guess after all. ”

Xu Chen continued: "It doesn't matter who you are, and it's easy to find, you just need to draw a portrait for the military department to check it out." ”

The middle-aged man frowned painfully and said, "Then you can go and check." ”

"Now that I'm in the wasteland, it's impossible for me to go back to the capital, and even if I find out who you are, it won't help me with what I want to know, just like if I break the Han law and kill someone, no one will dare to say anything bad about my master. ”

The middle-aged man slowly closed his eyes and said, "My name is Lin Jiong, the chief general of the Inner Forward Battalion of the Northeast Frontier Army of the Empire. ”

Xu Chen looked at his pale cheeks, silently repeated the name in his heart, and then said, "Very good, then the next thing to say, who instructed you to kill me?"

The middle-aged man pursed his bloodless dry lips tightly, and he didn't say a word anymore to see what he meant.

Since he is the chief general of the Northeast Frontier Army's internal forward battalion, then the top boss is General Ximen Wang, in fact, Xu Chen doesn't need to ask, and the middle-aged man doesn't need to say, they both know who wants to kill Xu Chen, but the inference can never be turned into evidence, just like Xu Chen said before, Lin Jiong, the great spiritual master, admitted his identity because he knew that it was nothing.

Xu Chen looked at the middle-aged man with his lips closed, glanced at a place outside the tent with his spare eyes, where there was a faint figure, and after a moment of silence, he said with a serious expression: "I swear in the personality of the crown prince, as long as you are willing to say who the instructor is, I can let you go back alive, and let the academy guarantee your safety." ”

Great Spirit Master Lin Jiong opened his eyes and looked at him, but he still didn't say a word.

"I've sworn by the prince's personality, don't you still believe it?" Xu Chen said.

Lin Jiong said with difficulty: "There is really no one to instruct me, this is my own decision." ”

"Even if it's your own decision, there must be some tacit consent. You must know that although you are a powerhouse of the Five Realms, you are still not qualified to command more than six hundred horse thieves in the wasteland. ”

Xu Chen looked into his eyes and said, "I want to know that person's name." ”

Lin Jiong gasped and said, "Is it really so important to hear that name from my mouth?"

"For the imperial court to investigate the case...... Maybe it doesn't matter. ”

Xu Chen paused for a moment and said, "But it's very important to me. ”

Lin Jiong suddenly laughed, and his pale smile looked a little weird: "If it's important to you, then how can I say it?"

Xu Chen frowned, realizing that he had underestimated Ximen Wang's prestige in the other party's heart and underestimated the other party's loyalty. He gently stroked his knees, and after a long silence, he suddenly asked, "Do you have any parents and children?"

Lin Jiong seemed to guess what he wanted to say, and said with a difficult smile: "No." ”

In Xu Chen's opinion, this smile is very hateful and proud.

After a moment of silence, he continued to ask with a gentle expression, "Then as a cultivator, you always have a sect of masters, right?"

Lin Jiong replied: "Yes, but since I joined the army, I have rarely interacted with the division, and I have no feelings. ”

"You're lying. ”

Xu Chen looked at him and said calmly: "If you don't have a relationship with the master, you can let me this empty door, but you are in a hurry to tear the master apart, proving that you have the intention of protecting you." ”

Lin Jiong was slightly stunned, frowned painfully, and said, "Believe it or not, I won't say anything anyway." ”

Xu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, whether you lie or not, but you have to know what kind of crime it is to collude with horse thieves to attack the grain team, especially to murder this me." ”

Lin Jiong's expression was resolute and calm: "It's just one death, who hasn't died through the ages?"

"Of course it's not as simple as death, and although I think death is indeed the biggest threat, I know that loyal people like you have always thought that there are more important things in the world than life and death. ”

Xu Chen looked at his eyes and said: "Just by virtue of this matter, I can ask your master and elders, disperse your sect, and even kill all your relatives and fellow disciples, maybe you really don't care about their life or death, but in case there are your childhood sweethearts among those relatives, in case there are senior sisters in those fellow sects who gave you a quilt at the beginning of the night, and they die like this...... Wouldn't it be a pity?"

Lin Jiong couldn't understand his childhood sweetheart, but he understood Xu Chen's undisguised killing intent, so his cold body became colder and colder because of excessive blood loss, and it seemed to be even more desolate than the wind and snow outside the tent.

"I'm not used to being so threatening, because I used to have very little capital to threaten people. ”

Xu Chen said very seriously: "And I don't want to threaten people, I just want to know an answer, you and I know this, it's just the answer I want to hear from your mouth." ”

Lin Jiong's thin cheeks showed a look of struggle, and his gray eyes gradually overflowed with feelings of abandonment and guilt, Xu Chen looked at it carefully, and added calmly: "I swear by the personality of the prince." ”

I don't know how long it took, but the dry syllables finally came out slowly from the dry lips of the dying Great Soul Master.

Xu Chen lowered his head, listened quietly and carefully, and asked something from time to time.

After hearing everything he wanted to know, he stood up and nodded his head at the middle-aged man who was dying, but his eyes showed a little calm and relaxed in addition to guilt.

Then he drew his standard saber from his sheath and slashed downward, the cold blade slicing through the opponent's throat.

The complex emotions such as guilt and fear in the eyes of the Great Soul Master all turned into gray shock and despair, and his eyes were so wide that he couldn't close them even if he couldn't breathe.

Walking out of the tent, Xu Chen looked at the Han soldier who was waiting for him and said, "It's really a pity that he couldn't survive." ”

The soldier watched what happened today from beginning to end, and when he heard this, he didn't know how to deal with it at all, and looked at the residual blood on Xu Chen's blade, so he had to be silent.

I can't close my eyes without breathing, this is the so-called death without blinding, Xu Chen didn't close his eyelids for Lin Jiong in the tent, and he didn't have any heavy feeling in his heart, and even quickly forgot about it after leaving the tent.

He has killed too many people in his life, seen too many dead people, and seen many dead people, so he doesn't care at all, the dead are resentful and unwilling to take revenge?

For those who try to kill him, Xu Chen has never forgiven, as long as he can achieve his goal, any oath and promise is the most worthless thing.

Previously, he did not swear by his own personality but by the prince's personality, naturally because his personality was not as valuable as the prince's personality, and the prince's personality would be bankrupt because of his actions...... Anyway, the prince doesn't know, and those who don't know don't sin me.

If you let others know the truth of this matter, you will probably feel that Xu Chen's approach is a bit lacking in morality.

This is because they don't know the nickname Xu Chen got in Weicheng since he was a child--Lack of Virtue.

The horse thieves who attacked the grain team tried to assassinate him, and the last few remaining leaders and leaders were all dead, and the affairs of the military tent in the Han camp went very smoothly without any accidents.

This cavalry belongs to the Northeast Frontier Army, but the negotiating general came with a holy order, and Leng Feng, who was suspected of harboring horse thieves, as the commander of the cavalry, had no room for resistance, and was honestly captured.

The negotiating general found out the identity of Xu Chen, who investigated the horse thief case, which was naturally one of the important reasons for suppressing the officers and men in the battalion, but the more important reason was the discipline of the Han army.

Now that the Chaoyang Empire is powerful, the idea of allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor is deeply rooted in the marrow of every proud soldier, and the people in the capital have never worried about any heresy in the four border armies, and it is precisely because of this.

In the Chinese military account, Xu Chen told the negotiating general about the previous situation, and then selected some secrets confessed by Lin Jiong, which were recorded by the general's personal guards, and would be sent back to the capital later.

As for the secret spy, he has already returned to his tent, and there is also a secret performance, which will be handed to the national teacher through relevant channels, and then directly to the palace.

Therefore, Xu Chen was not worried that the horse thief case would disappear without a trace, he was even more worried about another thing at this time - why did Ximen want him to kill himself? Even if Lin Jiong suspected that he was implicated in the Yushi case, this reason always felt that it was not strong enough, as an apprentice of the national teacher, he would inevitably take a great risk to kill himself, if there was not enough motivation or inducement, why would Lin Jiong cause trouble for his master?

The negotiating general looked at him thoughtfully, thinking that he was thinking about something else, and said slowly: "Although Lin Jiong is the great spirit control master of the Northeast Border Army, this matter may not be deduced to the general, after all, there is only one confession, and there is no record on the spot, Mr. Thirteen, I am only responsible for reporting this matter back to the capital." ”

Xu Chen smiled and said that he understood, even if his current identity is extremely noble, but this status is not deeply involved in the world, and it is delusional to want to let the court ask a town army general to blame him with a word.

Under the complicated gaze of everyone in the barracks, he walked out of the Chinese military tent and walked towards his tent, and before he had walked a few steps, he saw a small figure running over from outside the fence.

Yaxiu's face was slightly red, and she waved her hands pantingly and said, "Senior brother, your pile of luggage is too heavy, I really can't move it alone, do you want to get it yourself?"

Xu Chen originally wanted to move back to the Han camp, after all, this is his own place, but today he killed several horse thieves pretending to be in the forward battalion of the Northeast Border Army, and caused the top commander of this army to be bound, although no one dared to show the slightest disrespect or hostility to him, but the complicated emotions in those eyes really gave him a headache.

"No need to move. ”

He stretched his hand out of the fence, rubbed the little girl's head, and said with a smile, "I'll go back to sleep at night." ”

Yaxiu was overjoyed, clapped her palms and said, "Great, the senior sisters still say that you won't come back." ”

After Xu Chen's identity was exposed, the girls of Yuxuanmen thought that Xu Chen had no reason to stay with his people, and would definitely move back to Hanying, maybe they would never see each other again in the future, thinking about supporting each other along the way, as well as those jokes and roasted wild sheep until golden, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful and sad.

So when Xu Chen appeared outside the tent with the big black horse, he was warmly welcomed by the girls, and even the big black horse was touched by the soft and fragrant girl's hand many times, it shook its head gently, kicked the hard ground on the soles of its feet, and turned its thick lips from time to time, looking particularly proud.

Only Duanmu Rong was as indifferent as ever, or even more indifferent.
