C36 (2/2)
Qu Feizhi himself was confused. He had stayed in the barn for only a few months, how did he become a famous person just after coming out? He tremblingly said, ”Brothers, I escaped by myself …”
”Cool!”
”Cool!”
”It should have been like this a long time ago!”
Cheers rose and fell.
Qu Feizhi swallowed his saliva. ”About that, I came here this time to pick a few Apprentice Knight s to follow me on a secret mission.”
”I'll go!”
”I'll go too!”
”Idol!” Please take me with you! ”
”Swear his life to Lord Qu!”
Qu Feizhi clenched his teeth, and said his last sentence: ”This operation is extremely risky, there is a high chance of death. Furthermore, even if they were to return alive, they would probably end up as criminals in the Empire. ”
The crowd finally quietened down, and a moment later, a white-faced Apprentice Knight spoke with a sorrowful expression, ”With the life and death of the nation at stake, how can we avoid disaster! Lord Qu, if I don't enter hell, who will?! ”
Boom ~ ~ ~ Applause, whistles, applause, and cheers rang out again. So it turned out that they were not shocked by Qu Feizhi's words at all, but had simply fallen silent because they could not find a single suitable word to say.
Qu Feizhi secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart: Could it be that I've seen a ghost?
Just like this, before the guards of the barn and Ling Zilu had led the others to surround them, Xiu'er, Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi had already brought over three hundred light riders out of the Phoenix City Pass. The reason why one of them could be so fast was because the two of them had been able to gather a group of Knights in such a short period of time. She used a straight line to cut through more than half of the Phoenix City Pass. All the walls and buildings that were blocking this line had disappeared, including the city walls.
Looking at the large gap in the city wall less than three hundred meters away from the southern gate of the Phoenix City Pass, Shi Keren sighed helplessly, ”Are they that anxious? What if he cheated the City Gate Officer? ”What a waste!”
Zhao Handong laughed bitterly: ”old commander, how do we deal with this?”
Before Shi Keren could reply, one of the staff officers by the side shuddered. ”Reporting to Master Zhao, we follow the orders given by the Imperial Military Discipline, those who leave the battlefield without permission in time of war are deemed as deserters! If it is serious, it can be considered a traitor, and its nine generations will be exterminated! ”
Shi Keren turned his head to look at the young staff officer and asked: ”Do you know where they went?”
The staff officer hurriedly replied, ”Sir, I do not know.”
Shi Keren glared at him fiercely. ”You don't even know what they're going to do? This old man sent them out for a secret mission! If he were to scold them now, he would be scolding them for being a spendthrift, but he would not be scolding them for running away! Do you understand? ”
The staff officer anxiously tried to explain, ”Yes, I'm sorry, sir. ”This official has never heard you mention this in the meeting ~ ~”
”Bastard!” Shi Keren became even more furious: ”This old man is the highest-ranking officer in the north of the empire Battlefield, don't tell me I have to report everything to you? Which school graduated? Who's your officer? ”What's your position now?”
The staff officer's face was covered in sweat. She stood there trembling, not daring to make a sound.
Shi Keren waved his hand at Zhao Handong: ”Master Zhao.”
Zhao Handong hurriedly stepped forward. ”old commander.”
Shi Keren pointed to the staff officer. ”Discipline, discipline.” With that, he turned and left.
Zhao Handong sized up the little adviser who was trembling from head to toe, and laughed: ”Forget it, someone who does not know is not to be blamed. You're young and insensible, so it's not your fault. ”
The staff officer's voice was close to tears as she said, ”Thank you, thank you, Master Zhao.”
Zhao Handong waved his hand towards the guards and said, ”Find his direct subordinates and beat him with thirty military sticks.”
Hearing the sounds of begging coming from behind him, Shi Keren stopped in his tracks, raised his head, and looked towards the sky in the east, silently thinking to himself, ”This old man can only do this, I hope your choice is correct.”
After the Xiu'er and her group left the Phoenix City Pass, they followed the Wulian Mountain Range and ran east for three days. They were so tired that they felt tired, and it was only then that they finally arrived at Wu Lian County. After resting for a day, they entered the mountain from Wu Lian County and headed straight for the Wulian Border Army encampment. This place was one of the few gentle slopes in the Wulian Mountain Range. It was a place where one could enter easily if the mountain was light. There was also water nearby.
Wulian Border Army was a part of the set up of Border Army, known as the empire's strongest individual military capability. Although Phoenix City Border Army and the words ”the strongest” were not willing to accept it, in his heart, he still felt sincere admiration. Wulian Border Army were stationed inside the Wulian Mountain Range, and fought against Demonic Beast all year round. Soldiers could not say that they all possess unique skills, but they were definitely experienced in facing off against enemies. The others watched as the terrified Demonic Beast arrived in front of them. It could catch wolves on its own, and kill tigers on its own. The men who lived in the mountains fought with the Demonic Beast everyday, and over time, their bodies were tainted with the Demonic Beast's habit, and they also developed the unruly nature of Wulian Border Army. Any officer would have a headache because of this troop.
According to the Empire's customs, the Wulian Border Army was also protected by the Red Camp, but the Red Camp here had quickly turned into the senior officer's training camp. Most of the senior officer s in the Red Camp have a record of serving here, at least half a year or at most two years. Some people truly wanted to hone their combat skills, but there were also others who wanted to earn the qualifications to do so. There was an unwritten rule in Fire Phoenix Army: one wanted to be a senior officer, but one did not have the qualifications to be a guard in the Wulian Border Army. And the Imperial Military Academy students who were born in Baidu would sometimes choose to live here as well, for no other reason other than to pave a path for their own future.
As a result of this, the fighting strength of Red Camp was actually not equal, and so Wulian Border Army had quite a bit of opinion towards them. Since the other Red Camp were all for help, then the here should just become a source of confusion. Regardless of whether or not he was a soldier or an official, he had come to gain some qualifications. Sometimes, he had already been moved away before they had even acknowledged him. In the Wulian Border Army, other than a few officers, most of the officers and soldiers were scolded until they could not even lift their heads …
But the reason why Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi came here was to convince them to help him, to help him with something that he absolutely couldn't win over.
