The airship sailed smoothly and quickly, and finally landed at the airship base that Yu Yingnan had set foot on not long ago. A military off-road vehicle was already waiting for Qianye, Aunt Lan and the others. As usual, the golden standard Teng Snake military flag was planted on the front of the vehicle, and then it went on a rampage and headed straight for the Yin's courtyard. The handsome lieutenant colonel was waiting on the steps at the gate, and Aunt Lan disappeared after entering the gate.
Qianye followed the lieutenant colonel to the depths of the courtyard. It was the first time he saw such a large-scale retro-style building complex. Some of the local nobles encountered in the Red Scorpion missions in the past also liked arty, but most of them were one or two main buildings. Use wood and stone structures to create some artistic conception, because in this age of peace, buildings with bluestone and metal structures are strong enough.
Turning left and right along the way, there are many buildings and halls. Qianye was attracted by the scenery at the beginning, then he instinctively observed the terrain, and suddenly found that there were not many dead spots to hide in. This was obviously carefully designed in a garden with many buildings and lush vegetation. of.
Secondly, he noticed that the main energy source of the other courtyard is not Black Stone Steam. The scale of the Perpetual Tower is not large, and it is a bit far from the central axis of the building. Judging from the shape of individual facilities with exposed corners, at least the driving energy in the core area is all black crystal. This is just a courtyard of the Yin family in the Eternal Night Continent, which shows the background and strength of the upper family of the empire.
The lieutenant colonel finally brought Qianye into an independent courtyard. The main room ran through the entire distance to the south. When he stepped through the door, he saw that there was no partition in such a large space, and it was a whole study. The furnishings and decorations are all in the old style, more than a dozen rows of bookshelves occupy half of the room, there is a desk near the window, there is a pen holder on the desk, and a row of writing brushes hanging down. On the other side of the desk were stone inkstones and several pieces of specially made letter paper.
Only real aristocratic families would keep such a tradition, and Qianye had never seen such a ostentation. He looked around, and suddenly he was caught by a picture hanging on the wall.
Those are four large characters: "Killing and resolute".
The ink of these words seeped through the back of the paper, and the silver hook and iron stroke, every stroke was full of murderous intent. Although Qianye didn't know calligraphy, he could feel the iron-blooded aura rushing towards his face.
While watching, a voice suddenly sounded behind Qianye: "How about these four words?"
Qianye turned his head and saw a handsome and beautiful woman standing at the door of the study.
She is tall and slender, almost at the same level as Qianye, with eyebrows like swords, and a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes. . She was very young, about twenty years old, but she was wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform, which really surprised Qianye.
Seeing Qianye turn around, the woman's eyes lit up immediately, she whistled unscrupulously, and said, "You are Qianye, right? You look really good, I am very satisfied! I am Yin Qiqi."
Qianye bowed slightly, and said, "Miss Qiqi."
Qiqi frowned slightly and said, "Have you never learned noble manners?"
Qianye said calmly: "Yes."
Qiqi waved her hand and said, "It's not a big deal. I'll find some of the best teachers for you tomorrow, and it will be almost done in a few days. As for the task content, Aunt Lan should have told you roughly However, in fact, the family assessment and the like are not very important. Just remember one thing, you can do whatever I tell you to do. When there is no order, you can act freely. But I have many opponents, no matter who they are, As long as it will affect my assessment results, you just do what is written in this picture!"
As she spoke, Qiqi pointed to the banner on the wall that read "Killing and Judging".
Qianye was stunned for a moment, this seemed to be somewhat different from Aunt Lan's previous words.
For Qiqi, the heir exam is the top priority now, and the result will largely affect the decision of the family elders to choose the next generation of patriarchs. After ten years of nurturing and screening the core children of the Yin family, a total of four successor candidates were identified last year, and Qiqi was one of them. The content of the assessment is very broad, and the method is relatively free. Each candidate will get 500 soldiers from the main imperial army and resources worth 500,000 gold coins. Based on this, they will make as many achievements as possible.
Yin Qiqi's optional mission is to go to the Eternal Night Continent to fight against the dark race. The military record is the highest score in the successor exam, and it is also the least controversial achievement. She has the highest personal strength among the candidates, and her family also has a certain influence in the military. This choice was originally very wise and could give full play to her advantages.
The problem is, Qiqi has been in the Evernight Continent for several months. Apart from picking up girls every day, this young lady is just picking up girls, or eating, drinking and having fun. Customs and customs, anyway, I just haven't done anything serious. Qiqi didn't even use the 500 soldiers under her name, and she didn't care about throwing them at the front line, let alone using resources to form a private armed force and a staff team.
Qianye turned out to be the first assistant she formally recruited in the Eternal Night Continent.
This situation made everyone who followed Yin Qiqi a little nervous, including Aunt Lan who went to the Dark Blood City to interview Qianye, because the assessment period was only one year.
After Qianye heard Qiqi's strange instructions with his own ears, he finally understood Aunt Lan's attitude of hesitating to speak on the airship several times, wanting to cover up but was at a loss for words. Whether there is a conspiracy in this task is still hard to say, but the young lady's jumping thinking is indeed beyond the understanding and execution of ordinary people.
"Your basic remuneration is one hundred gold coins per month, and there will be... special rewards depending on actual achievements. You will definitely like those special rewards." Qiqi has already walked very close to Qianye, and there is no No intention of stopping.
Qianye is very unaccustomed to strangers walking into his safe distance, and is hesitating whether it will be rude if he walks away, Qiqi has already leaned forward, the tip of her nose is almost touching Qianye, and her hot breath is on his face: " This week, you will first train on etiquette and familiarize yourself with the environment, and the task will officially start a week later. It's such a happy decision!"
At this time, Qianye finally couldn't bear it anymore, and turned her body to get out of the way. Yin Qiqi stood up straight, and said nonchalantly, "Now, let me see your strength."
Qianye slowly mobilized his original force and released his breath.
Yin Qiqi's eyes lit up again, and she stretched out her hand to touch him a few times unceremoniously. Qianye always felt that the young lady's actions were not so much testing his physical strength and the thickness of the original force, but rather taking advantage of the opportunity.
"It's actually level four. It's different from what I said before. You've been promoted to a level recently?"
Qianye nodded.
"Very good! Level 4 is very important, because you are no longer a good-for-nothing pretty boy, but a pretty little boy with some usefulness. Someone will take you to the place where you live, so let's do it first!"
Qianye didn't know how to react to this weird comment, so he could only keep his face expressionless.
Qiqi laughed and left the study, and then came in two handsome, tall and sunny Imperial Army second lieutenants, leading Qianye to his residence.
Qianye was assigned an entire courtyard. There is not only an independent garden pond, but also a bedroom, living room, study room, and even an armament room and a training room. This kind of living conditions is absolutely extravagant to the extent that Qianye has only seen it in his life.
Qianye put down his luggage and looked from room to room.
The bedroom has its own luxurious bathroom, the living room is spacious and bright, and the calligraphy and painting furnishings are all boutiques with origins and years. Qianye didn't know any of these things, but just looking at the metal material used for the frame and some of the original force gems inlaid, he knew that each piece was worth a lot of money.
He strolled into the study again, sat down in front of the ancient desk, opened the drawer casually, and was speechless for a while.
In the drawer was actually a Level 3 pocket force pistol! Every carving on the body of the gun is exquisite and gorgeous, and the handle of the gun is actually wrapped with a complete deep-sea pearl shell. The light blue lines are shimmering, and a clump of ink bamboo is painted on it. The force array inside this pistol might not be as valuable as the decoration on the shell.
Next to the pistol, there were three special blank original force bullets, which were obviously temporary self-defense weapons for the owner of the study. A self-defense weapon that may never be used is a third-level force gun, and the ammunition is all solid bullets, which made Qianye once again see the family background. This kind of background is quietly displayed through such details all the time.
Not long after, the lieutenant colonel who greeted Qianye walked into the courtyard. This time he introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Ji Yuanjia, you can just call me Yuanjia. I will be responsible for explaining the future mission arrangements to you in detail. "
After the two sat down in the living room, Ji Yuanjia handed over a document and said, "During the mission, you will serve as Miss Qiqi's special assistant and adjutant, with the rank of captain. This is the letter of appointment, please have a look."
Qianye took over the letter of appointment, which stated that he was the captain of the Field Army of the Seventeenth Legion of the Empire. Of course he could distinguish the authenticity of the letter of appointment, the paper patterns and seals were all real, but the place to fill in the name was not engraved but hand-filled, and the ink was just dry.
Ji Yuanjia seemed to know what Qianye was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, this letter of appointment is real and valid, all relevant documents have been completed, and military standard equipment can be used at any time. But in my opinion, you still use The Yin family's own equipment at the same level is better, with more choices and better quality."
Of course Qianye knew the procedures for the appointment of officers. The normal procedure was to engrave the full text, but there were many appointments before the battle. Handwritten signatures were absolutely valid, as long as the person issuing the letter had this authority and filled in a complete set of files. However, the 17th Legion is the regular main force of the empire, and it is too much energy for this Miss Qiqi to be able to control such a group of officers.
Qianye flipped through the attachments at the back, and sure enough there were a lot of documents that should have been there, even Qianye's resume was filled out completely, and he didn't have time to see what identity he was assigned. Lieutenant Colonel Ji handed over a thick manual and said, "This is the equipment catalog of the Yin family's private corps. You can choose from it. The budget is 1,000 gold coins."
In the end, Lieutenant Colonel Ji put an armband on the table and said: "According to Missy, the 131st Independent Battle Company will be assigned to you and you will have full command. The standard established, I hope to satisfy you."
The standard for strengthening the company is not only to increase the number of personnel and equipment, but also to increase the strength of officers at all levels. The squad leader will be a first-level soldier, the rank of the platoon company commander will increase accordingly, and the full company commander will definitely be a third-level soldier. The strength of a reinforced company can approach that of an ordinary battalion.
Such a strengthened company, one hundred and fifty soldiers, was thrown to himself
However, Qianye was not stunned by the sudden drop of power. No matter how weird this task was, for him, it was still a task.
Qianye closed the document and asked seriously: "What about the intelligence authority?"
Lieutenant Colonel Ji was slightly taken aback, looked at Qianye's eyes more seriously, and said, "With the same authority as me, basically Xichang City and the surrounding human-controlled areas have no secrets from you. It's just that Information above the secret level involving the Yin family and several other aristocratic families is not within the scope."
