Chapter 217 Follow-Up (1/2)
In the evening, after the general meeting, Ji Dayou, the leader of the Tanlang Army, returned to his tent to hold a small meeting.
After the small meeting, it was already very late.
All the battalion commanders under his command went back, and only Ji Daogong stayed here.
"Daogong nephew, is there anything?"
Ji Dayou couldn't help but ask.
"Sixth uncle, I do have something to ask you."
Hearing this, Ji Dayou didn't say anything, nodded, and signaled the other party to continue.
"It's like this, Sixth uncle, I got the information of a secret stake before..."
Ji Daogong explained the cause and effect of last night's action in detail.
In fact, in his expectation, the person sitting in front of him should be his uncle Ji Guangchong.
But after attending the two meetings today, he suddenly lost the confidence to take credit for the results of his action.
The situation changed too fast. Yesterday, the two countries were still in a state of confrontation and fighting, but today there are signs of shaking hands and making peace.
He suddenly didn't know whether he would be rewarded or punished if he reported this matter.
Therefore, he came to seek Ji Dayou's opinion.
After listening to Ji Daogong's entire narration, Ji Dayou habitually tapped the handle of the wooden chair under his seat with his fingers.
"What a pity, what a pity, if this person didn't die, then you really did a great deed."
"As long as he doesn't die, we have plenty of ways to pry out all kinds of secrets from his mouth, even memories that he has forgotten, we can get them out of his head."
"Since he is the messenger who delivers supplies to the rebels of Da Zhou, he naturally knows their current base camp and even some hidden gathering points."
"With these, we can carry out precise strikes and quickly eliminate this group of cancers of Da Zhou."
"After eliminating that group of cancers, we can also return this person who has no value to Da Yue as one of the sincerity of cooperation between the two countries."
"It's simply killing two birds with one stone."
Said At this point, Ji Dayou couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that none of this can appear, because he's dead."
"Once this person dies, his value has greatly decreased."
"If you took out this head yesterday, although the value has greatly decreased, it would still be a great achievement, because you can use it to taunt Otsuki and hit the other side's morale."
"But now that the relationship between the two countries is unclear, the appearance of this head is quite inappropriate."
"If I were to deal with it, the safest way would be to deal with it coldly."
"The way to deal with it coldly is to suppress the matter and pretend that it didn't happen."
When Ji Daogong heard this, a look of unwillingness appeared on his face.
"Is it really the only way?"
"It's probably similar to what I guessed. After all, I've been with the marshal for decades, and I think I know his methods of doing things better."
After Ji Dayou said this, he stretched out his hand to Ji Daogong and said, "Give me the head of that man, and I'll give it to the marshal for you. If a small probability event really happens, I'll have someone reply to you."
"And if it's the same as what I guessed, and it's treated coldly, you don't have to worry, you won't lose the corresponding military merits."
"Of course, I know these military merits are nothing to you, but the subordinates who work hard for you need them, and you can't let them down."
Although he was a little reluctant, Ji Daogong still handed the wooden box containing Lin Qingshan's head in the [Storage Ring] to Ji Dayou.
Ji Dayou opened it and took a look, and recognized the identity of this person: "Lin Qingshan, from the Lin family of Dayue. I heard that one of the Lin family members serves as the high priest in the Moon God Religion, and there are many other members of the Lin family serving as priests. The family is quite powerful."
"What a pity. If this person were alive, how much information would be obtained."
As Ji Dayou shook his head with regret, Ji Daogong left here.
At this time, there was a fire in his chest, rising straight up.
A great merit that should have been within his reach flew away. If he had this merit, he would have completely established his foothold in the military camp.
The other direct descendants of the Ji family will have a big gap with him.
And with this gap, he can accumulate more advantages, and may eventually become the best young generation of the Ji family in the army.
At that time, with all kinds of resources tilted, he will achieve the Condensed Evil Realm within a dozen years, and then begin to take over the army, becoming a battalion commander under the four legions controlled by the Ji family, and then the army master.
In the end, he can even succeed the old Marshal Ji Guangchong and become the new military marshal of the Great Zhou.
Unfortunately, all these have become fantasies, just because one person died.
Ji Daogong became angrier and angrier as he thought about it.
After returning, he not only gave Jin Shanquan another 100 military sticks, but also gave Yan Shishan another 100 military sticks, all of which he would execute himself.
Ji Daogong, who was blinded by anger, now just wanted to vent the evil fire in his heart.
But he was still rational and did not catch those who surrendered to him and helped him to carry out the mission and beat them up.
He only beat his own retainers.
To put it nicely, he was a retainer, and to put it bluntly, he was a senior servant.
His own people, behind closed doors, no matter how excessive they did, would not affect his reputation in the military camp.
After this night, no one saw Jin Shanquan and Yan Shishan around Ji Daogong again.
A few days later, not only did two innate peak warriors take over their positions, but there was also a handsome man dressed as a scholar, serving Ji Daogong, inseparable.
I heard that he was a staff officer hired with a large sum of money.
That night, after Kong Chuanbing returned to his tent, he received a letter from Li Yan disguised as Kong Tianyang.
The content of the letter was that Li Yan wrote in great detail what Yuwen Kui had done.
It also included a comment from Li Yan: No tolerance for others.
"Come here."
After reading the letter written by Li Yan, Kong Chuanbing had a touch of appreciation and a touch of coldness in his eyes.
The appreciation was for Li Yan. As a soldier, his style of doing things was vigorous and resolute.
Li Yan's move was in line with his behavior. When he found that Yuwen Kui had problems, he directly cut off ties with him without any delay.
Through this move, in Kong Chuanbing's view, Kong Tianyang was worth cultivating.
A useful talent in the family was naturally worthy of Kong Chuanbing's appreciation.
And the coldness, needless to say, was known to be directed at Yuwen Kui.
That person walked out of his own guards, and he was carefully selected and sent to Kong Tianyang.
Now Yuwen Kui's actions are simply slapping him in the face.
"Sir, I'm here."
The personal guards guarding outside the tent came in immediately and replied with a fist.
"Did Yuwen Kui come back today?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to bring him to see you?"
The personal guards couldn't help asking.
After all, Yuwen Kui was very much liked by Kong Chuanbing because of his tall and burly figure.
He arranged for him to stand guard outside his tent every day.
If Yuwen Kui hadn't been transferred later, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to stand here.
But he didn't expect that it was just such a sentence that made him regret it.
"Why, do you have a good relationship with him?"
"I haven't said I want to see him yet, but from what you said, you want to make a decision for me!"
These two sentences without any emotion immediately made the other party kneel down on both knees.
"No, I have nothing to do with him. He came to me today and gave me some benefits, so that I could find a chance to say a few good words for him."
"I deserve to die. I will never dare to do it again."
After kneeling down, the man told everything in detail.
As Kong Chuanbing's personal guard, he knew his temper.
If he made a mistake and admitted it himself, it would not be a big deal as long as the situation was not serious. If he was found out, he would be punished severely.
Just by listening to Kong Chuanbing's two words, the man knew that Yuwen Kui was probably finished, so he quickly cleared himself.
"Oh, so he took the money."
"I know."
The calm voice made the personal guard kneeling on the ground tremble, but he did not dare to defend himself.
"You go out and ask Hao Fan to come in."
"Yes, sir."
The man replied in a trembling voice.
Soon, another personal guard, Hao Fan, walked in.
This man had a simple and honest face and a resolute look in his eyes. He still maintained the training posture of the Great Zhou army while walking.
"Greetings, sir. I wonder what you want to call me for."
After a standard military salute, Hao Fan asked in a heavy voice.
"Hao Fan, let me ask you, have you seen Yuwen Kui today?"
"Yes."
"Then have you ever received anything from him?"
"No."
"Okay, go get Kong Hao to call me."
"Yes, sir."
Looking at Hao Fan's back as he left, Kong Chuanbing's eyes were filled with thoughts.
"I hope you are not lying. I will give you a chance then."
Not long after, Kong Hao was brought to Kong Chuanbing by Hao Fan.
"Sir, I don't know why you call me so late."
Kong Hao asked in confusion.
He is a member of the Kong family's side branch and the chief of Kong Chuanbing's personal guards. He manages hundreds of personal guard companies and has more power than an ordinary captain of a thousand men.
"Go and arrest Yuwen Kui and interrogate him about what he did in Tianyang and who he bribed after returning."
"After you find out everything, you should know how to deal with it."
Kong Chuanbing's cold voice made Kong Hao shudder, and he quickly replied: "I know, I know."
"Then do it. I hope to get an answer tomorrow morning."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Without asking why, Kong Hao left Kong Chuanbing's tent and led his men to where Yuwen Kui was.
"Boss, why are you here?"
When Kong Hao saw Yuwen Kui, he was chatting with a group of former comrades in the tent all night.
After seeing Kong Hao, everyone stopped talking and stood up to greet Kong Hao, including Yuwen Kui.
"Boss, hello."
It turned out that they were all from the personal guard company.
"Yuwen Kui, come with us."
After Kong Hao finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked the two people behind him to control Yuwen Kui's hands and lead him out of the crowd.
"Boss, is there any misunderstanding? Kuizi has only been back for less than a day."
When everyone saw this scene, they were all surprised. One of them stopped Kong Hao and asked hurriedly.
"Get out of the way."
Kong Hao did not answer the man's question, but shouted in a serious and cold voice.
This voice made the other party dare not move any more and stood there stiffly.
"Everyone, see you again if we are lucky."
Yuwen Kui was still a little nervous, but he was not panicked because he had expected it.
"Maybe I'm leaving here, but that's fine. I'm a congenital warrior. Wouldn't it be wonderful to go home and build a family and enjoy myself?"
In his opinion, he had no merits, but he had worked hard. At most, he would be dismissed.
If there hadn't been that letter from Li Yan, or if there hadn't been a few words of pleading for him in that letter, his idea would have been correct.
After saying hello to many comrades in arms in a rather casual manner, Yuwen Kui disappeared from everyone's eyes and sank into the darkness.
No one followed him out, firstly because Kong Hao's previous attitude made them know that the matter was not simple.
Secondly, it was already late at night. They didn't have a warrant from their superiors. If they went out and were caught by the patrol team, they would be subject to military law.
"We can only find out tomorrow what Yuwen Kui did wrong."
Someone said so.
Obtained unanimous agreement from others.
However, the originally cheerful atmosphere had become dull at this time.
After a while, everyone fell asleep one after another.
The next day, after they got up, they asked about Yuwen Kui, but they didn't get much useful information.
They only knew that Yuwen Kui was no longer in their camp, and there was no news about where he went.
As for what Yuwen Kui did, from a few circulated news, they knew that it was related to Kong Tianyang.
As for the specific situation, they didn't know much.
In addition to Yuwen Kui's matter, there was another thing that also made the people of the personal guard company very concerned.
The two personal guards who stood guard for Kong Chuanbing were transferred away.
The personal guards who could stand guard for Kong Chuanbing were all innate warriors.
Therefore, one was dismissed from the status of personal guard and demoted to become a centurion.
The other was transferred away, and there was no news about where he was transferred to.
At the same time, Li Yan received news early in the morning that his second uncle sent him another person and asked him to accept him.
Although Li Yan was reluctant, he had no good reason to refuse, so he had to meet the person.
"Good morning, sir. I am Hao Fan, hello."
Looking at the tall and honest man in front of him, Li Yan nodded.
"It seems that you have found an honest and obedient person for me."
In the subsequent series of questions, Li Yan also roughly understood Hao Fan's personality and style of doing things.
Old-fashioned and taciturn, this is Li Yan's first impression of Hao Fan.
"Okay, you will serve under me in the future."
"Come here, call Su Han and say that his new centurion is here."
The centurion position that Hao Fan is going to take over is the original position of Mu Yingmei.
As for Mu Yingmei herself, she was naturally upgraded to deputy centurion.
With her strength, she had a place in this position, and now it was just returned to her.
After solving the unstable factors in the team, Li Yan planned to take a group of subordinates to obtain more military exploits.
When not fighting, he was even prepared to let Su Han split up and lead some of the most elite people in the entire team to perform various tasks.
Li Yan had seen that some of the tasks could be easily completed with the help of the priest clones of Dayue.
However, when he sent someone to the task tent again to get the latest task, the reply he got was that there were no tasks.
"How could there be no tasks? Are you sure you didn't go to the wrong place?"
Li Yan looked at the person he sent out with a bad look.
"Reporting to the lord, there are really no tasks. When I went there, there were a lot of people gathered there, all asking for the tasks to be opened."
"But the person in charge there said that the higher-ups ordered that the tasks would be frozen recently. When there are new tasks, there will be a notice for the whole army."
The person sent out by Li Yan replied with an aggrieved expression.
After hearing this, Li Yan showed a look of surprise on his face.
Waving his hand to signal the other party to retreat, Li Yan fell into deep thought.
"Did something big happen that I didn't know about?"
After thinking for a while and not being able to figure it out, Li Yan sorted out his clothes and ran to find Kong Chuanbing.
He didn't know, Kong Chuanbing, as the battalion commander of a 10,000-man battalion, didn't know that this was a real senior level in the Da Zhou military camp.
More than an hour later, Li Yan came back with a frown.
In this hour, he didn't get the answer he wanted, but he confirmed his premonition that something big had happened that he didn't know about.
Kong Chuanbing didn't tell him the specific things, but just vaguely said that he would know in a few days.
"I have a clone on the Dayue side, and I didn't hear the news. There are more clones on the Da Zhou side, and they didn't hear the news either."
"What went wrong?"
"Oh, Daman."
In a flash of inspiration, Li Yan remembered the news that Daman's clone knew.
"It must be that Dazhou and Dayue knew that the group army of the Daman Arsi tribe was heading towards the battlefield."
"Such a powerful enemy must have contributed to the intention of reconciliation between the two countries. This explains why all the missions against Dayue were frozen."
Li Yan exhaled, followed by a sigh.
What's the use of knowing it? His strength can't change anything.
"The efficiency of the main body's cultivation has been maximized and can't be improved."
Thinking of the strength, Li Yan couldn't help but look at the situation of the main body and found that the tenth meridian has been opened up now.
If everything goes well, in another half a year, he can be promoted to the late stage of Xiantian.
"That group of people have been in the city for so long, why haven't they taken action yet?"
Since the focus has shifted to the main body, Li Yan has to pay attention to the group of [Red Blood Cover Zhou Army] that has been lurking in Linjiang City for nearly a month.
