Chapter 34: Pillows Delivered

When Li Yan heard Liu Chengyong wanted to give him a weapon, he was moved, but then rejected the idea.

He put the sword back into the scabbard on the weapon rack and smiled, "Captain Liu, you are too polite. I have not learned any martial arts yet. I am just practicing my inner strength and mental skills. I still can't use it. If I learn a certain martial arts in the future and you have a suitable weapon for me, I will really come to ask for it."

Liu Chengyong laughed and nodded in agreement, but he also thought that Li Yan didn't like his weapon. There is no sect that only practices inner strength and not martial arts. I think with the outstanding martial arts of the military division, how can he be without a magic weapon?

After laughing, Liu Chengyong looked outside and said to Li Yan, "Brother Li, the Marshal mentioned something to me after the military meeting a few days ago. He said that you should go to him when you are free. It may be that the information you registered when you were called up for enlistment has not been recorded in detail. He is the chief military officer and needs to record all of this and report it to the court for archiving. Therefore, you still need to go there."

Li Yan was also stunned when he heard this. He was thinking about how to reveal some information to Liu Chengyong, and then pass it on to Marshal Hong through him. Unexpectedly, before he could say some of the words he prepared, Liu Chengyong gave him the result he wanted. Is this what the saying "When you want to doze off, someone will send you a pillow" is often said?

He knew that this was a signal that Marshal Hong wanted to start taking action. What about incomplete registration information? With the military's ability, even if he only filled in his name and hometown that day, they could find out his ancestry in a short time. And if the registration information was incomplete, then the family subsidies and his monthly salary were all paid by Marshal Hong himself without going through the account. But in this way, he didn't need to worry about it, and he just went with the flow.

He pretended to be surprised and looked at Liu Chengyong, then thought for a while and said, "Oh? That's right. After I was accepted as a disciple by the teacher at the military training ground, I really didn't do some of the things afterwards. I guess it should be like this."

Liu Chengyong has been staring at Li Yan. He said this with some hesitation at first, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncertain in his heart. But after hearing Li Yan's words, he knew that he was not at the military training ground that day and he really didn't know some things. However, he still doubted the purpose of the Marshal calling Li Yan over. He didn't believe that things were just like this on the surface, but he didn't dare to investigate it. As long as Li Yan thought it was, it would be fine. Anyway, the Marshal had no ill will towards Li Yan, which was also the reason for temporarily avoiding Chen An and Li Yin.

"Since that's the case, I have nothing to do today, why don't we..."

"Of course, of course, things can't be delayed in the military. Well, I haven't seen it in the military camp yet. Now Captain Liu, take me to the military camp first, and then we'll go over." Li Yan said. In fact, he didn't intend to hang around here. It's just that he only talked to Liu Chengyong for a while and left immediately. Chen An and Li Yin are not easy to fool. They must suspect that he came for a purpose.

"Of course, this is possible. Oh, then will we go like this? If Chen An and Li Yin know about it, will they report to the military division that we are not doing a good job, and we have to trouble you for such a small matter, and we have also alarmed the commander-in-chief. You see," Liu Chengyong said hesitantly. He was not sure what the consequences would be if Chen An and Li Yin knew about it.

"It's nothing, just say it directly, it's not a big deal." Li Yan said to Liu Chengyong, he thought to himself, "I want to see how Marshal Hong handles this sequelae, from the point to the whole, to see whether he is a rough warrior or a cunning person."

Although Liu Chengyong felt that something was wrong, he didn't know what was wrong for a while, so he agreed. After saying a few more words, he took Li Yan around the military camp, of course, they walked in the public area, which inevitably made him show off in front of the other teams.

Then the four of them went out of the camp gate, and the four of them rode towards the Marshal's Mansion. When Chen An and Li Yin learned that Li Yan wanted to go to the Marshal's Mansion, they showed hesitation on their faces, but Li Yan left without looking at them. Li Yan thought to himself, "It seems that my teacher must have given the two of them the secrets in person, and did not allow me to have too much contact with outsiders."

It didn't take long for them to arrive in front of the Marshal's Mansion. Liu Chengyong went forward to explain to the gatekeeper. After a while, the inside informed Li Yan to go in. In this way, even Liu Chengyong could not go in, and Chen An and Li Yin did not dare to follow without permission.

After passing through several corridors, Li Yan followed a soldier to the lobby of the rear mansion. The soldier stopped and turned back to Li Yan and said, "Sir Li, the Marshal is inside, you can go in by yourself." After that, without waiting for Li Yan to answer, he turned around and walked back.

Li Yan looked at the lobby. There were no soldiers guarding it. The door was open. He took a deep breath and walked towards the door.

When he entered the lobby, he felt that the light was a little dim. He focused his eyes and looked again. It was very spacious. There was a man sitting on a chair in the middle of the lobby looking at him. Who else could it be but the bald man he had met before? Li Yan stepped forward and bowed.

"I, Li Yan, pay my respects to Marshal Hong."

Hong Linying had been staring at Li Yan since he entered the room. He felt that Li Yan's aura was much more dignified than two months ago. This was not like the aura of a person who had just entered the martial arts. This made him take a breath of cold air, and he couldn't help but speculate in his heart, "Is this the internal strength of Ji Wenhe's sect? It's so strange that just two months can make an ordinary person's internal breath so steady and heavy."

But the more this happened, the greater his expectations became.

"No need to be so polite, sit down first." Hong Linying pointed to a row of chairs at the bottom and said.

After Li Yan thanked him, he found a chair on the side and sat down.

"It has been more than two months since we parted at the training ground. When I saw you today, I found that you have really impressed me under the guidance of Lord Ji."

"Marshal, you are too kind," Li Yan said with a wry smile.

Seeing Li Yan's expression, Hong Linying's face froze. "Oh? Could I have been wrong?"

Li Yan shook his head, as if he was thinking about how to answer, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing him like this, Hong Linying was moved. After straightening his body, he leaned back on the chair. "Thinking back to when Fang Yu entered the military advisor's mansion, I saw him again. But, that was when I was wrong."

Li Yan certainly knew who the "Fang Yu" he was talking about was. It was the name of his unlucky senior brother. His expression stagnated, and he said with a little hesitation, "What does the Marshal mean?"

"Oh, nothing. When I saw you today, I just felt that although Lieutenant Li's aura had grown a lot, your complexion was a little unstable, and you looked like you were ready to move." After saying that, he stared at Li Yan's face and watched carefully. He knew from the intelligence reports in the military advisor's mansion that Li Yan's temperament had been fickle and his aura was impetuous recently, so he said this.

Li Yan's face showed astonishment. "Marshal, can you see that there is something wrong with your subordinate?"

Hong Linying was happy in his heart, but he looked normal on the surface. "I can see a little, but I can't see the reason. Haha, but it is impossible for the practice to go wrong. There is a peerless master like Master Ji to teach you. I think there may be other reasons."

After hearing this, Li Yan's face was uncertain for a while. These expressions fell into Hong Linying's eyes one by one, and he remained calm.

After a while, Li Yan hesitated and said, "Marshal, do you know how to cure the poison in the martial arts world?"

Hong Linying was stunned, and then his face showed doubts. "Why ask this? Oh, are you worried about the poison that Master Ji was poisoned with? You don't need to do this. Even I can't help him. What's more, your current skills are still shallow and you can't help him at all. Hey, I didn't expect you to be a person who respects your teacher and abides by the Tao. Alas!" After saying that, his face darkened and he sighed.

"Well, but I do know some solutions. The first one is, of course, to use the corresponding antidote, but this requires knowing what poison is in the body; the second one is that people of my generation can use their deep internal strength to expel the poison from the body, but this is not a panacea. Once some strange poisons enter the body, they will penetrate into the internal organs and bone marrow. This kind of poison is very difficult to force out; the third one is a kind of magic that only the Jianghu magic can use. Find a person with strong internal strength, use him as a guide for the poison body, use this secret method to guide the poison into the other person's body, and then force the other person's pure internal breath into your own internal organs, but this method requires

The magic secret method is required, and there are very few sects that know this method."

He stared at Li Yan and said slowly, and saw Li Yan's forehead faintly sweating.

After a while, Li Yan said in a hoarse voice, "What about the third method, being treated as the person who caused the poison?"

Hong Linying said, "It is basically certain that he will die, unless he also knows the secret method of the magic way and then follows the same method, but this is obviously impossible. Oh, let's not talk about this. I think Liu Chengyong also told you that I asked you to come here today, but this morning the military counselor has obtained your detailed information from the government office of Daqingshan. I was just about to tell Liu Chengyong not to notify you to come."

Li Yan seemed to have not reacted to the words. After a long time, his face began to return to normal, but he still looked absent-minded. He stood up and bowed, "In this case, then I will take my leave."

"Okay, you go down first." Hong Linying said with a slight smile.

Li Yan turned and walked towards the lobby. When he was about to step out of the lobby, Hong Linying's voice came from behind him again, "Deputy Lieutenant Li, you don't have to worry too much about the matter of the Third Army Division. After all, he has been poisoned for a long time. He is also a master of medicine. I think there is still a solution."

Li Yan paused when he heard this, and then disappeared in the lobby.

After a while, the muffled voice in the hall sounded, "Brother, this kid seems to have doubted Ji Wenhe."

"Haha, today we can confirm three things. First, their internal strength is really amazing. In just over two months, he has cultivated to such a level. If he continues to cultivate like this, it will be terrible. Second, he is the one who will be poisoned. I didn't expect Ji Wenhe to really understand the method of this evil sect. The third is that this kid has noticed his situation and feels that he may be used by Ji Wenhe."

"In that case, brother, our next step is to wait for him to ask for help."

"Haha, I think he will take the next step soon. Life, who doesn't cherish his life?"

After Li Yan walked out of the hall, he thought as he walked, "Marshal Hong is also very eager to get this so-called "martial arts", and he has begun to plant the seeds of doubt in my heart. Since this has been confirmed, the next plan can be carried out. However, I did not find the other master mentioned by Dong Fuyi today. It seems that my cultivation is too low. I can't even sense the masters in this secular martial arts world."

While thinking, he had already walked out of the Marshal's Mansion and saw the three people standing under a tree a few dozen steps away from the mansion and talking, just looking over here from time to time.

This Hong Linying is very calculating. Li Yan's in and out only took a cup of tea, which was the time he took to report his origin and family information. It is hard to make people suspect that there is something else going on.
