Seeing that no one resisted, Qianye's eyes fell on Zhao Guanwei again, Dongyue picked him up lightly, and he flew a hundred meters like flying through the clouds, fell heavily out of the camp gate, and sprayed several mouthfuls of blood.
Qianye ignored Zhao Guanwei again, but said to the soldiers: "All line up and gather, those who fail to arrive within the stipulated time will be dealt with by military law."
After giving an order, an officer took out his whistle, and Yun Yuanli blew three short and one long whistles. All of a sudden, the barracks was filled with ebullition. Soldiers poured out from every corner of the camp, rushed to the playground, and immediately formed two neat square teams. The elite of the Zhao family's private army can be seen only from the gathering speed, which is much faster than the main army of the empire.
After all the soldiers assembled and lined up, Qianye just nodded, casually pointed to a young soldier, and asked him to take him to the general's tent, and left the soldiers of the two battalions on the playground without giving any orders.
Without the command of the general, according to the military regulations, these soldiers can't go anywhere, and they can't move a little, so they can only stand quietly on the playground.
After Qianye entered the big tent, it was as if he completely forgot about the two battalions of soldiers on the playground, and no more orders were sent out.
In the blink of an eye, it was late at night, and the soldiers of the two battalions stood for almost ten hours. Although they were far from tired with the strength of the soldiers of the Zhao Clan, they were unavoidably irritable and uneasy. But they also knew that this was Qianye's intentional punishment for disobedience to the military order, even if they stood until dawn.
At this moment, several of Zhao Xuanji's personal soldiers walked into the camp, went straight into the big tent, and said to Qianye: "The Lord Youguo has an order, ordering you to go to see him immediately."
After hearing this, Qianye put down the map in his hand, got up and followed the soldiers, and stood in front of Zhao Xuanji after a while.
At this moment, Zhao Xuanji was not dealing with military affairs as usual, but was fiddling with a set of complicated tea sets. Seeing Qianye coming in, he raised his hand to let him sit down, put another teacup in front of him, and then picked up the teacup himself, carefully Savor it carefully.
The tent was so quiet that one could hear embroidery needles falling to the ground, only the heat and the fragrance of tea permeated the air. Duke You didn't speak, and Qianye didn't speak either, they just sat there quietly.
Zhao Xuanji drank this cup of tea for half an hour before finishing it. He gently put down the teacup, looked up at Qianye, and said, "Guan Wei is a fierce general. He went to the battlefield after he became an adult. He has spent more than ten years in the front line of the Western Continent. He has killed countless enemies and accumulated a lot of achievements. The two battalions of forwards Soldiers, many of them are old people who have been with him. It is normal for you to have conflicts with him, but why do you fight so hard and drive him out of the forward battalion?"
Qianye said indifferently: "If I lost, I wouldn't necessarily be injured less than this, and I wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the forward battalion. In the current battle, I hate this kind of person who takes the opportunity to provoke me the most. Since he jumped out to trouble me, Then I will never show mercy, no matter who is behind him."
Zhao Xuanji laughed, and said: "You don't think it was me or Princess Yan who made it?"
Qianye said: "If it's you and Duke Yan, you don't need to do this, just don't let me lead the troops."
Zhao Xuanji didn't want Qianye to be so blunt, so he was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and smiled. I just heard Qianye continue: "I just want to earn some military merit. I'm not interested in knowing who the main messenger behind Zhao Guanwei is."
Zhao Xuanji pondered for a moment, then smiled, and said: "Forget it, let's stop here. I'll let people beat and beat those little fellows in Duke Yan's mansion. If they have trouble again, they won't It will be so easy again. As for Guan Wei, he may have some selfishness, but he will never make a mistake in a major matter. If this time I expected it to be correct, it should be because of some past favors."
"It's best like this." Qianye's tone was still flat, neither angry nor grateful.
Zhao Xuanji said: "Now the children in the clan don't know your identity. Seeing that you have received such preferential treatment, even better than the son-in-law of the Sangong's mansion, it is inevitable that you will feel resentful. But I don't know if there are benefits of not knowing. Some other things are wrong. However, Qianye, I have always been unclear about one thing, and I hope you can tell it honestly."
"Excuse me, my lord."
Zhao Xuanji said slowly: "You are in my Zhao Clan, what exactly do you want to get?"
Qianye asked without answering: "What is the purpose of the Duke's question?"
Zhao Xuanji did not hide it, and said: "My Zhao Clan has the theory of teaching students according to their aptitude, not only in secret arts and martial arts, but also in the direction of development. On the one hand, it is to prevent individuals from going astray, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent excessive internal friction in the family. You missed the time to lay the foundation, but with your aptitude and Cointreau's importance to you, Zhao Clan will definitely have a place for you in the future, so what you want is related to how you will be cultivated in the future."
Hearing these words, Qianye couldn't help being touched. Zhao Xuanji's intention was more sincere than simply piling up resources.
Having said that, Zhao Xuanji drank another cup of tea to give Qianye time to think, and then said: "My Zhao Clan's younger generation is full of Chinese and elite talents, but only Jundu and you are far ahead of Yuzi, and Yuying and the others are all inferior. One way, ten years later, the Zhao Clan will be ruled by your brothers. But I do not deny that because of your background, the position of Clan Clan must belong to Jundu. But if you go all the way smoothly, at least find a peace It is possible for me to achieve considerable achievements.”
Qianye's brows twitched slightly, and said: "To be honest, I didn't think so long-term, nor did I think about seeking power in the Zhao Clan. What I want now is military merit."
Zhao Xuanji was quite surprised, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Military merit? It seems that you are asking for a reward from the empire. No matter what it is, you might as well talk about it, there are not many things that I can't do of."
Qianye smiled bitterly, and said: "That is something in the future, and it may not happen. It is too early to say these things now."
Zhao Xuanji saw that he was unwilling to speak out, and he didn't force it, so he nodded and said: "Forget it, then you can handle it yourself. In terms of war, if you have ideas, feel free to bring them up, and the guild will try our best to arrange them."
"Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your kindness."
After Qianye saluted, he took his leave.
From the curtain behind Zhao Xuanji, a middle-aged man stepped out. His face is pale and beardless, and he looks a little weak. However, Zhao Xuanji respected him very much, stood up to greet him, and asked, "Mr. Yan, how do you feel about this son?"
Mr. Yan pondered and said: "This son is not alarmed, his aura is calm and thick, even in front of you, he is calm and at ease, regardless of his strength and temperament, he will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future. It's just that this son seems to have a lot of secrets. Use with caution until fully informed."
Zhao Xuanji shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, I think this kid is a person who values love and righteousness. He first played for the Zhao Clan because of his friendship with Yu Ying. He has always been concerned about the status and power in the Clan. Ask for nothing."
Mr. Yan said: "Because of this, the bond between him and the Zhao family has become weaker. You must know that since ancient times, family love and blood are the source of loyalty."
Zhao Xuanji sighed, and said: "I can't force this matter, let's take a step and see. By the way, how is the situation there recently?"
Mr. Yan showed embarrassment, and sighed: "I'm ashamed, there is no water leakage. I have been planning for many days, but I can't find a chance to put some eyes and ears in there, and I can't find any useful information. In this regard, my... that brother is capable." It is indeed much stronger than me, and I am ashamed of myself, and I have failed the entrustment of the Duke."
Zhao Xuanji didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Mr. Yan has great talents in other fields, and I will have more to rely on in the future!"
Mr. Yan was ashamed and touched at the same time. He sighed and said, "My younger brother violated the precepts of the ancestors and voted for that side. Speaking of which, I am also responsible for it. Alas! I only hope that he can wake up soon and don't fall deeper and deeper. good."
Zhao Xuanji nodded and said: "There is no need to rush this matter, just plan slowly, I believe he will come back sooner or later. Oh, by the way, how are the preparations for the military strategy in a few days?"
"I already have a general idea, but there are some small details that need to be coordinated with Commander Boqian. I can review them for you tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Mr. Yan, let's go to work first."
After Mr. Yan left, Zhao Xuanji sat in front of the case again, picked up a document, and read it carefully. At this moment, he seemed to be concentrating and holding his breath, and was fully engaged in military affairs, but in fact, there was a thin voice ringing in his ears.
"Reporting to the Duke, Mr. Xiaoyan's guards are extremely tight over there. Recently, they have doubled the manpower for protection. There is really no chance to attack. The subordinate suspects that someone inside us has leaked the news, otherwise we will not It would be such a coincidence."
This sound was actually a ray of original force, which was sent directly to Zhao Xuanji's ears. Even if they were sitting opposite to Zhao Xuanji, they couldn't hear the slightest sound.
Zhao Xuanji flipped through the documents, his lips didn't move, but a ray of original force also shot out, and he ordered: "Continue to investigate. Once there is a chance, do it immediately, and be sure to kill him!"
After finishing speaking, Zhao Xuanji added coldly: "At any cost!"
"Subordinates understand!"
The force fluctuations gradually dissipated, and the voices hidden in it also faded away, and there was silence in the camp, as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, Qianye had already returned to the Vanguard Battalion, and finally ordered the soldiers to disband and return to their rooms to rest. The battle is imminent, so it is very important for the soldiers to maintain their physical strength, and the matter of punishment can only be done at the end.
When Qianye gave the order on the school grounds, it was nearly midnight, but two visitors suddenly came to the Vanguard Camp. Apparently most of the soldiers of the Zhao Clan knew these two people, even when Qianye saw ordinary soldiers, many officers' expressions changed.
Those two, one of Zhao Jundu's entourage, sent Qianye a box, which contained some common clothes and some secret medicines. The other one was actually Zhao Junhong who came in person, and he couldn't see what was going on. He just sat in Qianye's tent for a while, drank a cup of tea, chatted with him, and then left.
So far, Qianye still doesn't know their reason for coming, while smiling wryly, there is a slight warmth in his heart. Of course, Lord You also learned of this immediately, and the guards who came to report saw that Zhao Xuanji hadn't expressed anything, so they quietly withdrew from the tent.
In the next few days, the imperial camp suddenly became much quieter, and there were no more fleet reinforcements arriving.
The rain is coming.
