Chapter 1520 Feiyan Camp
"Then I see that you and your subordinates are all a bunch of trash!"
Gu Zongyuan's unceremonious reprimand and cursing made Ming Yulong's face turn red and his breathing short of breath.
The sergeants on the surrounding city walls were also Ming Yulong's subordinates, and they were all within the range of Gu Zongyuan's speech, and they all had angry expressions on their faces.
"I asked you to seal it all up, but you actually put a black cloth on it to fool me, you're so smart!" Gu Zongyuan walked to the nearest magic crossbow in two steps, and continued to reprimand angrily.
"Elder Gu, the magic crossbows at the gates of the other three cities are also always above the city walls. Why do we have such regulations here?!" Ming Yulong took a deep breath and said forcibly suppressing the humiliation and anger in his heart .
"What enemies are the other three gates facing, what enemies are you facing? Are you using the magic machine crossbow to wait for the ice and snow forest to attack?" Gu Zongyuan sneered with disdain on his face.
Ming Yulong still wanted to speak, but was interrupted directly by Gu Zongyuan:
"Don't say any more, I will directly report the matter here to General Xie, you wait for the punishment!" Gu Zongyuan lifted his Taoist robe, turned around and left with others.
As soon as Gu Zongyuan left, several generals who had been watching by the side surrounded him.
"General Ming, this old man is too deceitful!"
"Could it be that my West City Gate is not the opponent's main attack point, so I can relax and ignore it?!"
"That is, in case the army of the Cangwu Kingdom attacks here, wouldn't it be our lives that we will pay?"
"If this divine machine crossbow wants to move, from under the city wall to above the city wall, it will take at least half an hour for twenty Jindan stage monks to carry it. According to what the old man Gu Zongyuan said , when the enemy invades, how much time and sacrifice do we have to waste!?"
"The magic crossbows on the city walls in the other directions have been exposed to the wind and snow. I don't understand why it's only our side. This Gu Zongyuan has repeatedly provoked!"
"The magic crossbows in the other positions were engraved by other elders, and Gu Zongyuan has no right to control them!"
"Shut up!" Ming Yulong finally spoke, interrupting the discussions of the surrounding generals.
He strode forward and lifted the black cloth covering the nearest Divine Machine Crossbow.
What came into view was a Zhang Xu long machine, the whole body was cast from pitch-black black iron, with intricate runes engraved on it, and a mysterious and mighty aura instantly permeated the air.
Ye Tian also narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the true appearance of this magical machine crossbow.
With just one glance, he could see through the mystery of this divine machine crossbow, and he could tell that it should be a powerful magic weapon.
At a glance, along the crenels of the city wall, a row of divine machine crossbows covered with black cloth lined up neatly, until the end of the city wall.
This magic crossbow should also be one of the most important defense equipment in Zhengyang City.
From Ye Tian's point of view, Gu Zongyuan's actions were indeed somewhat inexplicable. Logically speaking, even if this powerful magic weapon was placed in the open air and exposed to the wind and snow, it should not have any effect at all.
Ming Yulong gently stroked the Divine Machine Crossbow in front of him, and remained silent.
There was a moment of silence on the city wall.
At this time, several people came up again.
Ye Tian noticed these people first, and Luo Ying was among them. The leader was an old man in the early stage of returning to the void, wearing a red armor, looking energetic and majestic.
Then the sergeants on the city wall and Ming Yulong all reflected and saluted together.
"Thank you General!"
Xie Chongguang nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Ming Yulong like lightning.
"Ming Yulong, what are you doing here? Why don't you listen to Elder Gu's order and transport all these magic crossbows to the bottom for sealed storage!?"
Ming Yulong took a deep breath, stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and saluted Xie Chongguang as a military salute.
"General Xie, although I don't understand the reason why Elder Gu gave such an order, I can be sure that if I follow Elder Gu's actions, if a battle breaks out, I will sacrifice many brothers in vain, and it will even have a great impact. The defense of the walls."
"I can't bear such a responsibility."
"I know that military orders are like mountains, but I will not do an order that I know will harm my brothers, Zhengyang City, and my old Muguo."
"So, General Xie, please punish me!" Ming Yulong said loudly through gritted teeth, with an appearance of resigning himself to punishment.
Xie Chongguang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Ming Yulong seriously.
"Violation of military orders and knowingly committing crimes shall be punished as crimes!" Xie Chongguang said coldly.
Ming Yulong remained silent.
But the rest of the sergeants and the generals beside Ming Yulong also knelt down in unison at this time, begging in unison.
"Shut up!" Xie Chongguang shouted, interrupting all the pleas of the soldiers.
"Elder Gu is the maker of this batch of magical machine crossbows. He has the right to give orders! Since you, Ming Yulong, are ready to violate the orders, then accept the punishment honestly!"
"Now my army is tense in Zhengyang City. You will be spared the death penalty, but all posts will be cut off and you will be dispatched to the Death Battalion!"
There was silence on the walls.
"Thank you, General, for not killing me!" At this moment, Xie Yulong bowed deeply again.
"Your position will be replaced by the general Li Jia!"
A general behind Ming Yulong was stunned for a moment, then stood up and took orders.
Next, Xie Chongguang will solve all the job changes caused by Ming Yulong's dismissal.
Finally, he looked at Ye Tian.
In the time just now, Luo Ying has already told Xie Chongguang everything she saw and heard after meeting Ye Tian outside the city.
"Your Excellency is Daoist Ye Tian?" Xie Chongguang took the initiative to cup his fists and salute Ye Tian.
"This is General Xie Chongguang, who is in charge of guarding the west of Zhengyang City." Luo Ying introduced Ye Tian from the side.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, and returned the gift.
"Before, Fellow Daoist Ye Tian took action outside the city and saved Commander Luo Ying. On behalf of Zhengyang City, I would like to express my most sincere thanks." Xie Chongguang's words sounded very polite.
"General Xie, you are polite," Ye Tian said lightly.
"Fellow Daoist Ye Tian is powerful. It is an honor for our army to meet you." Xie Chongguang said with a smile, "I hope that fellow Daoist Ye Tian will give you some advice in our army!"
Afterwards, Xie Chongguang had another polite exchange with Ye Tian, and Ye Tian responded with a few simple words.
Although this Xie Chongguang is very kind and polite on the surface, Ye Tian can sensitively perceive that under the surface of this person's kindness, there seems to be a little distance and hostility towards him.
This kind of hostility is relatively simple, similar to the kind Ming Yulong had towards Ye Tian before.
So Ye Tian didn't say much.
When the conversation came to the end, Xie Chongguang really showed that kind of faint hostility. Between words, he, the highest general in the west direction of Zhengyang City, seemed to have regarded Ye Tian as his guest.
Judging from this attitude, it seems possible even for Ye Tian to become an elder. In the end, Xie Chongguang didn't promise Ye Tian anything practical. The Feiyan camp led by Ying served as a guest minister.
The gap between the two is of course very huge, one in the sky and the other in the ground, which surprised Luo Ying herself, and she couldn't accept it.
After Xie Chongguang finished his orders and inspected the city wall, he left.
Luo Ying, who had been silent all this time, came to Ye Tian.
"Ye Tian, I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to be your superior, and I'm going to wrong you." Luo Ying's face was a little embarrassed.
In fact, Ye Tian didn't care at all what kind of identity Xie Chongguang could give him.
He came here to investigate this Lan Xun secret realm, even if he is an ordinary soldier, it doesn't matter. The main reason is that these identities can't restrict Ye Tian at all.
But Ye Tian noticed something.
"Do you know why Xie Chongguang did this?" Ye Tian asked with a raised brow.
"I just suddenly remembered it just now." Luo Ying nodded lightly, but then immediately shook her head and said, "But don't worry, General Xie has absolutely no malice towards you."
"That general Ming Yulong seemed to be the same before," Ye Tian turned his gaze to Ming Yulong who was taking off the general's armor and putting on the ordinary sergeant's armor in the distance.
"Yes, Ming Yulong has always been General Xie's subordinate and has been deeply influenced by General Xie," Luo Ying said, "They don't like you because they think you are very similar to Elder Gu Zongyuan."
Ye Tian knew in his heart that Ming Yulong said the same thing before.
"I see that the general and Elder Gu have some disagreements over the parking of the Divine Machine Crossbow," Ye Tian said.
"It's just a trivial matter," Luo Ying said, "Both General Xie and General Ming have practiced and grown up in the army since the beginning. Elder Gu was born in a practice sect."
"The faction represented by Elder Gu has always looked down on General Xie and the others, thinking that they only know how to kill and fight, and disregard the meaning of cultivating the Tao. What they are pursuing and walking is the real way."
"General Xie and the others think that the meaning of cultivating the Tao is to become stronger. Elder Gu and the others are just pretending to be gods and ghosts, and playing tricks."
"In the past, this kind of conflict was only hidden in the dark. It was the invasion of the Cangwu Kingdom and the outbreak of the war that intensified the conflict between the two. Now it is even a bit incompatible."
"The unfavorable situation of the war now, the primary responsibility naturally falls on the army headed by General Xie."
"Everyone seldom refuted anything on the surface, but they all held a kind of fire in their hearts, thinking that part of the current unfavorable situation should be blamed on Elder Gu and the cultivators led by them. The resources at hand are too far behind."
"In short," Luo Ying said, "it's obvious that you give General Xie Ming and the others the same feeling as Gu Zongyuan, which is why they hold hostility towards you. But don't worry, this hostility is not aimed at you alone Just to wrong you in my Feiyan camp..."
"It doesn't matter, you can do whatever you want in your daily life," Ye Tian waved his hand and said indifferently.
That's what Ye Tian said, but Luo Ying didn't dare to really say that. He suspected that if he asked the strong man, even if he had returned to the void at most, he would have to confess as an ancestor.
Over there, Ming Yulong has changed into the armor of an ordinary sergeant, but the majesty and aura of a general is still there, which seems a little funny at first glance.
After going through such a change, Ming Yulong's state was not greatly affected, and he still seemed to look normal, talking and laughing happily when he met his colleagues.
Of course, the partial general named Li Jia who succeeded Ming Yulong, including other sergeants who had already surpassed Ming Yulong in military rank, was still polite to Ming Yulong.
"I'll take you to Feiyan Camp." Luo Ying said to Ye Tian from the side.
The two got off the city wall, and under the leadership of Luo Ying, they walked forward along the root of the city wall.
At the same time, Luo Ying introduced the situation of her Feiyan camp to Ye Tian.
The Feiyan Camp is an organization to detect the enemy's situation, also known as a scout, directly under Xie Chongguang's command, and its status is relatively important.
Luo Ying is the commander of Feiyan Battalion, and under him is a deputy commander named Lin Xin. The strength is the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Under the two, there are a few school lieutenants in total, plus ordinary sergeants, the entire Feiyan Battalion has about 300 people, basically all of them are in the golden core stage, and because of various needs, there are also other people.
The scale is small, but they are all elite.
When talking about this point, Luo Ying's words were quite complacent.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Luo Ying stopped, and a building appeared in front of her. There was no signboard on it, and it looked like an ordinary courtyard. The gate was open, and occasionally pedestrians could be vaguely seen passing by in a hurry.
"Commander!"
Two soldiers at the gate saw Luo Ying and saluted respectfully.
Luo Ying's embarrassment when facing Ye Tian just now disappeared, and she looked quite majestic and heroic. Gently nodded to the two of them, hummed, and led Ye Tian into the gate.
It wasn't until Luo Ying walked in that the two sergeants at the door exchanged glances, revealing curious expressions.
"Can you see Commander Luo's attitude towards that man in the distance just now?"
"Of course I saw it!"
"It's a wonder in the world that a witch can be so respectful and cute!"
"Who the hell is he?!"
In fact, Luo Ying's attitude towards Ye Tian at this time, apart from being in awe of Ye Tian's strength that he showed before, is also guilty of Ye Tian's hostile attitude towards Xie Chongguang and Ming Yulong.
Leading Ye Tian into the courtyard, until they came to the lobby of the Juzhong building, the passing soldiers saluted Luo Ying one after another, and at the same time cast their curious eyes on Ye Tian.
Luo Ying asked Ye Tian to sit down, and waved for a few soldiers.
"Let Commander Lin and several school lieutenants come over, there is an important announcement!"
Several sergeants were ordered to go.
After a while, a man in light armor rushed in hurriedly, saw Ye Tian as soon as he entered the room, nodded slightly, and then looked away.
"Commander Luo!" The man cupped his fists and saluted.
"Wait for the others first," Luo Ying replied gently, pointing to the seat next to her.
The man looked at Ye Tian curiously again, but he didn't say much, nodded and sat on the side.
