Chapter 299: Inability to Control Subordinates
When Zhang Ye was notified to go to see the commander-in-chief at midnight tonight, he was as surprised as the captain of the craftsmen camp. How could such a small character like him be summoned by the commander-in-chief?
Zhang Ye asked the captain about the news, but the captain said he didn't know anything. Zhang Ye had to wait for midnight with trepidation.
As soon as midnight arrived, soldiers from the central army came to pick them up. Zhang Ye followed them and wanted to ask some questions, but they ignored him at all. It seems that the army is not as easy to talk to as other agencies. Zhang Ye had to give up.
When he came to the commander-in-chief's tent, the lights were bright and soldiers came in and out from time to time. It seems that even at midnight, the commander-in-chief is busy.
The soldiers entered the commander's tent to report for a while, and a voice came out: "Come in."
Zhang Ye tidied his clothes and entered the commander's tent.
When Zhang Ye saw the commander for the first time, he sighed in his heart, what a mighty marshal, no matter his appearance or temperament, he seemed to be a natural general, no wonder he could manage the Feiyun Army in an orderly manner.
"I have seen the commander." Zhang Ye was still just an ant in front of Xuanxian, and saluted respectfully.
The commander was analyzing the military situation with a jade slip. After he put down a jade slip in his hand, he looked at Zhang Ye and looked him up and down: "Did you make the Shuangdaoyi saber?"
"It was me." Zhang Ye replied.
"You are a talent." The commander praised, and then said, "How about working for my Feiyun Army from now on?"
Zhang Ye's heart skipped a beat. He was just a small forger. Did the commander need to recruit people in person? In addition, compared with the army, although the Lingbao Division was full of intrigues, it was also better than the army. It was not that Zhang Ye was afraid of death, well, it was that Zhang Ye was afraid of death and would never dare to stay in the army for a long time.
With the power of the commander of Feiyun Army, Zhang Ye believed that he had the ability to keep him in Feiyun Army forever, but Zhang Ye thought for a moment and declined: "I admire the morale of Feiyun Army and admire the commander's good management of the army, but I am not interested in this. Please forgive me."
Maybe the commander just said it casually, and seeing Zhang Ye refused, he did not force it: "I want to see you late at night this time, and I have something to ask."
"I will tell you everything I know." Seeing that he did not force him to stay, Zhang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and answered a question.
"I believe you have seen the reincarnation rosary, have you found anything different?" The commander's voice has a kind of trust, which makes people want to open their hearts to him.
Zhang Ye almost couldn't help but talk about the power of reincarnation, but his heart skipped a beat and he stopped talking. He pretended not to understand and asked, "What's the difference?"
The commander stared at Zhang Ye for a moment: "Although I am not good at forging spiritual treasures, I can see that the reincarnation rosary is not an ordinary spiritual treasure. There is a power that does not belong to the heavens. You can refine a dual-dao spiritual treasure, so can't you see it?"
It seems that even if there is a dual-dao spiritual treasure that restrains the reincarnation rosary, the commander still wants to get to the bottom of it.
Zhang Ye dare not say that he didn't see it, let alone the power of reincarnation. Zhang Ye is too weak now, and it's better to keep some things in mind.
"So this is what the commander is talking about. Not only did the subordinates see it, but all the forgers in the Lingbao Division saw it, but they couldn't track the source of the unknown power. Please forgive me, Marshal."
The commander stared at Zhang Ye with a burning gaze, as if he wanted to see through him, but Zhang Ye looked normal and couldn't see any clues.
The commander was a little impatient and waved his hand: "Retreat."
"I'll take my leave." Zhang Ye exhaled a breath of turbid air and said goodbye.
The commander looked at Zhang Ye's back and wrote a word: "Fake!" He didn't know how the commander knew that Zhang Ye was lying, but he didn't stop Zhang Ye and let him go.
On the way back, Zhang Ye was also thinking about the commander's intention of asking about the nature of the reincarnation rosary. Was it to test whether he knew too much and killed people to silence them? Or was it simply to trace the source?
No matter what the purpose was, Zhang Ye didn't dare to get involved now. He was honest and retired after completing the task.
In the next few days, Zhang Ye stayed in his tent honestly forging. Except for going to the kitchen when eating, he basically didn't leave the tent.
In the Feiyun Army Artisan Camp, some forgers noticed Zhang Ye, a forger with a special identity, because some things were secrets, which aroused curiosity and many opinions.
"Even if that deacon Zhang is a deacon of the Lingbao Division, he is just equivalent to a centurion in my craftsman camp. Why does he have an independent tent and ten soldiers to guard him?"
"Have you heard? The Feiyun Army spent a lot of money on this foreign Lingbao Division forger!"
"Why does he have that?"
In the craftsman camp, there is more jealousy and xenophobia, which everyone has.
"Brother Bai, you used to be from the Lingbao Division. What is the background of this deacon?" A forger remembered something and asked Bai Yunhai on the side.
In the past few days, Bai Yunhai has integrated into the new environment of the craftsman camp with his superb skills. At this moment, when he heard someone asking, Bai Yunhai pondered for a moment and said mysteriously: "Some things cannot be said."
The more Bai Yunhai hides, the more curious people are. After repeated questioning, Bai Yunhai looked determined: "Then you must keep it secret."
"Brother Bai, don't worry, we are tight-lipped!" The forgers patted their chests to guarantee.
Bai Yunhai then whispered, "Deacon Zhang once built a batch of alchemy furnaces for the garrison in Nantianfu City. They exploded, killing hundreds and injuring thousands. Have you heard of this?"
"I have heard of it, but wasn't it a deacon named Qian from Lingbao Division who was the mastermind?" someone asked.
"Shit, that's the one who took the blame." Bai Yunhai glared at the speaker, "I'm telling you, there's someone on Deacon Zhang's side. He came to Feiyun Army purely to make money and get credit. I have exact information. The benefits he can get from a mid-grade Lingbao are several times that of ours, and he will be promoted to chief when he returns to the Lingbao Division!"
Bai Yunhai knew only a little bit about it. Through his second uncle, he knew that Zhang Ye came to the military camp because of a military secret, but he made it more jealous and maliciously smeared and slandered it.
Hearing Bai Yunhai's words, the blacksmiths in the craftsman camp were convinced. They were already dissatisfied with Zhang Ye, but this time it aroused public anger.
"That's unreasonable. What do you think of me as the Feiyun Army!"
"We must not let these scum continue to cause trouble for our craftsman camp!"
"Let's go find Mr. Qianhu to judge!"
The Feiyun Army was strict in running the army and resolutely resisted all ugly phenomena. The blacksmiths were excited and hit it off immediately, and immediately walked towards the camp of Lord Qianhu.
There was a hint of pride in Bai Yunhai's eyes. No matter what Zhang Ye came to Feiyun Army to do, I have plenty of ways to make it impossible for you to do it!
Today, Mr. Qianhu thought that time was almost up, and prepared to go to Zhang Ye as usual to get the Double Dao Spiritual Treasure forged today. However, as soon as he went out, he was blocked by various blacksmiths under his command. There were dozens of them. There are also several heads of households.
Master Qianhu saw the unkind expressions on everyone's face and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Sir Qianhu, I dare to ask, what is going on with Deacon Zhang?"
"The commander-in-chief has made it clear that everything in Feiyun's army must be conducted according to rules and regulations. Why didn't Zhang Ye just come to my craftsman camp to skin him just because there are people above him? We don't accept it!"
…
Everyone was talking a lot, and Master Qianhu gradually realized that these guys thought that Zhang Ye came here to get gold plating from a related household!
Discipline in the Feiyun Army is strict, and anyone can report illegal behavior, so these commanders and hundreds of families came together to seek justice.
Mr. Qianhu was a little speechless. Zhang Ye's matter is a military secret approved by the commander-in-chief. How can you stop it just by making a fuss?
These guys also thought that Mr. Qianhu was using his power for personal gain, which made Mr. Qianhu even more angry. He didn't bother to explain and scolded: "Zhang Ye's affairs are not something you can understand. Get out of here. Anyone who dares to cause trouble again will be killed without mercy! "
Obeying orders is a soldier's bounden duty. After Master Qianhu scolded him like this, many blacksmiths did not dare to make a fuss, but they felt even more angry and left with their sleeves rolled up.
"It's clear that this Qianhu master has something up his sleeve, and we have to report it to the head coach!"
"With our level, we can't see the coach!"
"If we go on strike and make things worse, the coach will definitely intervene and see if Wu Qianhu is still so arrogant by then!"
"That makes sense!"
Since ancient times, mutinies in the military have been banned frequently, and any trivial matter may be an inducement for mutiny. In fact, these blacksmiths usually don't dare to do this, but when Bai Yunhai provoked them, they were jealous and passionate, so they couldn't swallow this breath.
It doesn’t make sense to sacrifice one’s life and blood for the sake of the immortal world, and someone dares to come and dominate us. This is what the blacksmiths thought in their hearts. They hit it off and decided to hold a general strike in the craftsmen’s camp.
When Bai Yunhai learned about everyone's plan, he was shocked. He only wanted to incite everyone to force Zhang Ye away, but he didn't expect that things would become so big? Once something goes wrong, he, the instigator, will certainly not be able to escape his involvement, right?
However, Bai Yunhai didn't stop him even after thinking about it. He just said a few words. The young master didn't initiate what happened next. Wouldn't it be wonderful if things got serious and really ruined Zhang Ye's good deeds?
Bai Yunhai thought so, instead of reining in the situation, he only added fuel to the fire.
The next day, Wu Qianhu was frightened when he received the news that the entire craftsman camp was on strike. He quickly went to inspect the work. Sure enough, the blacksmiths were sitting quietly in front of the furnace and did not start work.
"You are so outrageous, you are seeking death!" Wu Qianhu was so angry that he could not even speak.
"Master Qianhu, we shed our lives and blood for the immortal world, we just want justice!"
"It's fine that all the departments in the Immortal Mansion are dark and seek personal gain with power. I didn't expect that someone would extend their claws to the Feiyun Army. We don't accept it!"
Someone spoke up.
When Wu Qianhu heard these words, he was even more angry: "Nonsense!" Wu Qianhu knew that the matter was serious and wanted to explain it, but such a secret could not be made public, which made him jump anxiously.
At this moment, a general in golden armor entered the craftsman camp. When Wu Qianhu saw the person coming, his face turned pale with fright, and he immediately knelt down on one knee with military salute: "Master Commander, please punish me for your incompetence in controlling your subordinates!"
