Until midnight, someone suddenly went up to the tower, where Jiang Ye and Wei Lin were on duty.
Wei Lin vaguely felt a figure in the corner of his eye, turned his head sharply, and clearly saw someone not far away, and immediately asked, "Who is it!"
Jiang also heard the voice, and followed Wei Lin's line of sight.
The man raised his hands to show that he was not hostile, and loudly expressed his intention: "Brother Wei, it's me, Cao Zhong!"
Hearing Cao Zhong's name, Wei Lin was relieved and stepped forward quickly: "Cao Zhong, why are you here? I remember that you are on the day shift?"
"Yes, let's do something." Cao Zhong said with a mysterious smile.
Wei Lin had no hostility at all, but neither did Jiang.
The moonlight on the tower is dignified, and it is cloudy on weekdays on duty, and the torches on the tower are also lit for illumination. Today, because of the sudden incident, the torches are not lit, so I can only see things through the moonlight. This darkness also just concealed Jiang Ye's hostility. He stood not far behind Wei Lin, watching the two of them greet each other warmly, without letting go of the guard in his heart.
"The general asked Jiang to assemble too and sent me to call." Cao Zhong explained his intention, Wei Lin was a little puzzled, and asked, "What are you assembling for in the middle of the night?"
"Hey, how did I know? I'll send a message."
Wei Lin thought for a while, then turned to look at Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye didn't say a word, he walked to Cao Zhong's side, and said without any emotion, "Let's go then." Then he took the lead and wanted to leave. The atmosphere was weird. Cao Zhong glanced at Wei Lin and could only say hello and go down with Jiang Ye. Unexpectedly, just a few steps out, Wei Lin called out to Cao Zhong: "Hey, wait."
"What's the matter?" Cao Zhong turned to ask again.
During this walk, Jiang also walked out for a short while.
Seeing that it was a good opportunity, Wei Lin whispered to Cao Zhong, "I'm not at ease. Either you can help me for a while, and I'll come back when I see what happens, will it work?"
Cao Zhong looked embarrassed: "Brother, I stand for one day during the day, just wait for this moment to sleep."
"Hey, it's not less than half an hour." Wei Lin smiled and didn't give Cao Zhong a chance to refuse. Cao Zhong thought for a while and said, "That's fine, but I have a request."
"Say."
"I want to know too. Come up and gossip with me later."
"No problem!" After speaking, Wei Lin trotted after Jiang Ye's back.
Jiang Ye walked all the way to Xue Ziqin's tent. There was light inside the tent, and two soldiers were guarding outside the tent. Jiang also saluted honestly and said, "I heard that the general called me."
The soldiers guarding the tent immediately entered the tent, inquired about it, and then let Jiang in as well.
Wei Lin followed behind, from a short distance, and watched Jiang Ye enter Xue Ziqin's tent. He knew that he would definitely not be able to follow him. Looking around, there was a path blocked by tree shadows, and there was no one there. Behind him, he hurriedly walked over on tiptoe.
Not daring to lean on the tent, for fear of a shadow coming out, Wei Lin had to get close, and then held his breath to listen to what was said inside. He was just behind Xue Ziqin, Xue Ziqin's voice could be heard clearly, Jiang Ye's voice was not so clear.
Jiang also entered the tent, and immediately saluted Xue Ziqin: "General!"
"Well, I have something I want to ask you." Xue Ziqin was drinking tea, and he didn't look like he was troubled at all. Jiang also felt that maybe Jia Da Jia Er and the others were just chasing the wind.
"Excuse me, General."
"Do you remember what you said that day?" Xue Ziqin said, "The day of hunting."
"Naturally remember."
"If I want you to make it clear, will you say it?"
"The general speaks, and I will explain it truthfully."
"Tell me first, can you confirm?"
"This..." Jiang also hesitated for a moment, "It can only be said that it is possible."
"Jiang Ye, you are a smart person, I like it very much." Xue Ziqin said.
Before Jiang could pretend to thank Xue Ziqin for his appreciation, he saw that there was a figure on the tent behind Xue Ziqin. He immediately raised his finger and pointed behind Xue Ziqin, reminding Xue Ziqin.
Xue Ziqin was puzzled at first, and then he understood what Jiang Ye meant. He turned around very lightly, and saw a figure standing behind him with his waist bowed.
Then Xue Ziqin carefully pulled something out of his waist. Jiang also took a closer look. He actually had a soft sword coiled around his waist. . Xue Ziqin's movements can be described as extremely light, and no matter how fast, the soft sword stabbed out at the figure.
"Oh my God! It's me, it's me! General, I was wrong!" Wei Lin's voice came from there, and Jiang also saw the figure kneeling on the ground. The soft sword pierced through the tent and stabbed out from Wei Lin's nose. If it wasn't for Xue Ziqin's mercy, I'm afraid it would have gone in through his ear and out of the other ear. Wei Lin was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Xue Ziqin could hear his voice, and roared in a deep voice, "Don't get out of here yet."
"Yes, yes, get in right away!" Wei Lin said, the figure behind the tent disappeared, and then he saw Wei Lin lift the curtain and walk in.
Xue Ziqin wrapped the soft sword around his waist and saw Wei Lin kneeling down in front of him, his head bowed, and he didn't dare to let out the air.
Instead, he asked softly, "What are you doing hiding behind?"
Wei Lin
Tremblingly replied: "Eavesdropping..."
"Oh, you're being honest." Xue Ziqin said with a hint of playfulness in his tone, "Tell me, what good things have you done?"
"I..." Wei Lin wanted to say but didn't dare. Xue Ziqin is so hard to figure out, I don't know how much he knows, this is the most terrifying.
Jiang also looked at Wei Lin's cowardly behavior and was a little irritable, so he simply said for him: "General, he also stole your book!"
Wei Lin instantly raised his head and glared at Jiang Ye: "You superficial brother! I'm back, General!"
It was really interesting for Xue Ziqin to see the two of them, but at the moment, there was still something to do, and it wasn't time to entertain the two of them, so he turned his face down and started talking about business.
"Jiang Ye, tonight, follow me to Qinguan."
"No!" Wei Lin yelled.
This time, Chang Jiang also glared at him, regardless of whether Xue Ziqin was beside him or not, he scolded, "Why do you answer for me, I don't know you well!"
Wei Lin didn't care so much, he just pretended he didn't hear it. He turned his head to look at Xue Ziqin and said, "Jiang Ye doesn't know anything, he will only hold back the general!"
"Oh? Interesting, how did you know?" Xue Ziqin asked.
Wei Lin gritted his teeth, as if he was going out of his way, with an expression of resignation, he spoke very quickly and said a lot of words: "General, Qin Guan's affairs will definitely not sit idly by, I know what the general intends, While the wind does not leak out, the general can bring a team of elite soldiers to support him, ambushes from the flanks, or sneak attack on the forage positions from the rear, which are all good choices. As long as the victory is won, the general’s previous difficulties can be easily resolved.”
Hearing this, Xue Ziqin laughed.
Unexpectedly, among the recruits under his command, there are not one or two talents.
"You keep talking."
"So, General, Jiang is definitely not an elite soldier, but I am." In Wei Lin's eyes, there was a strong confidence and firmness.
"The general chooses him, it's better to choose me." Wei Lin said.
If Jiang hadn't been with Wei Lin all the time, Wei Lin's performance at this moment was like some idiot who was eager to take credit, the kind of person that Jiang also disdained the most. But the person who said this was Wei Lin, and Jiang naturally understood why he said that. Xue Ziqin seemed to be very interested in Wei Lin, and Jiang also saw it. So he knelt down and said to Xue Ziqin, "Wei Lin is brave, but he has no plans. Now that his old injury has not healed, I am willing to follow the general to Qinguan." Jiang also said.
Xue Ziqin pondered for a while, but did not speak.
These two were so interesting, they rushed to the battlefield with themselves to die. It was easy to see through. Neither of them wanted the other to take risks. Xue Ziqin thought about what they said, and it was true, but he agreed with Jiang Ye more. The reason is very simple, Wei Lin, who has not healed from his old injury, is not as good as Jiang Ye.
With a plan in mind, Xue Ziqin finally said, "Jiang Ye, you go with me."
"General!" Wei Lin wanted to say something, but Xue Ziqin strode up in front of him and looked at him condescendingly: "Don't try to influence me, since it's a wounded soldier, then take good care of me, because of your performance, I I'll let Min Qiu stay behind and take good care of you."
Xue Ziqin's words had a clear meaning, military orders could not be violated, and those who violated the orders would die.
Jiang Ye said, "General, I have two brothers, who are from Qinguan. I believe it will be of great use. If possible, I would like to ask the general to bring them along."
"Okay, we will gather in front of the barracks in half an hour." After speaking, Xue Ziqin left the tent, and the two of them also left the battalion commander after seeing this.
For Xue Ziqin, one more person and one less person is not important. Speaking of appreciation, he appreciates Wei Lin more than Jiang Ye. But Jiang Ye's temperament made him more optimistic, calm, and careful observation. These are the keys to being able to survive on the battlefield, so he moved his mind to Jiang Ye, wanting to see if it was a manufacturable material. Looking back at Wei Lin, he always felt that Wei Lin's face looked very annoying, he seemed familiar but couldn't tell where he had seen it, and Wei Lin was definitely unusual, he had already noticed this. What Wei Lin said today made Xue Ziqin extremely suspicious of Wei Lin.
He knew too much.
After the two of Wei Jiang walked out of the general's tent, they went straight to their tent, and they must first tell him the news.
From beginning to end, Jiang never said anything to Wei Lin.
Wei Lin followed behind him with an indescribably complicated expression. He opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something, but rubbed his lips dryly back and forth a few times, but still said nothing.
Xue Ziqin walked out of the camp and walked straight to the front of the camp. Min Qiu and Guo Linchong were already waiting there, listening to Xue Ziqin's arrangement.
"Five hundred people ready?" Xue Ziqin asked in a low voice.
Guo Linchong nodded: "We have quietly gathered in Yanhangu."
"Min Qiu, give me your war horse, and then lead two more horses."
Min Qiu was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Isn't the general taking me with you this time?"
"You mean that Hanzhou doesn't need to be guarded?" Xue Ziqin asked back, "You are guarding in Hanzhou, that Wei Lin, please show me a good look, don't let him come out and follow without authorization, so as not to ruin a major event."
"What does the general mean by this?"
"Wei Lin should not be a meticulous work, but I always feel that he is not his own." Xue Ziqin said.
This "always feel" means Xue Ziqin's intuition without origin.
"No matter who Xi Zuo is, this operation is extremely concealed, and I believe it will not leak out. Min Qiu, you must be optimistic about the remaining people in the military camp, and don't let Xi Zuo have the opportunity to go out and report the news."
"The last general takes orders!"
"Guo Linchong, follow me in half an hour."
"Yes!"
