"You dare! We are..." Before he could finish his words, Wang He slashed at his neck with a knife, ending his life.
The remaining people all struggled on the ground. They didn't expect that a young man could be so cruel and kill without any humanity.
If Gu Lingze could hear their thoughts at this moment, he would probably laugh out loud. How could it be that you can kill me but I can't kill you?
"Stop! We are just..." someone shouted.
Gu Lingze raised one hand slightly, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Just what?"
The man panted heavily, "We just followed you because we were attracted by your attractive appearance. Don't blame us for having such thoughts since you, a little boy, ran to the military camp!"
Not to mention Gu Lingze, even his accomplices wanted to kowtow to him after hearing this explanation.
They were clearly killing people directly, so how could they be tempted by beauty? Could it be that they didn't want to take care of a living person, but wanted to take care of a corpse?
Gu Lingze laughed several times, then stepped forward, looked down at the man and said, "Good explanation."
Then he kicked the other person on the head. There was a crisp sound, and the person died.
After all the people on the ground were dealt with, Gu Lingze snapped his fingers, and Wang He instantly fell to his knees, trembling all over.
"Go back and tell your master that if he wants to kill me, let him do it himself." At this moment, Gu Lingze's voice fell into Wang He's ears, which might have frightened him more than the King of Hell.
"Also, he'd better keep his tail hidden. Otherwise, I will make sure this traitor is killed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang He ran down the mountain like a madman and disappeared in a moment.
After returning, Gu Lingze did not tell anyone else about this incident. As a result, he did not suffer any loss, but instead scared the other party half to death.
He looked up at the sky, returned to the tent, took out all the medicinal herbs in the secret realm and placed them on the ground, then turned and went to the main tent.
As soon as he entered, he found that all the people sitting there had angry expressions on their faces, and some of them became even angrier when they saw him.
Gu Lingze didn't care about other people's expressions. He bowed to Gu Tianhua and said, "General, I need fifty soldiers to help grind the medicine powder."
"Grinding medicine?" Before Gu Tianhua could answer, Wang Wencheng on the side said sarcastically, "Even if you are the son of a general, you cannot arbitrarily transfer people in the army to do what you want."
"How can you be casual? Am I not asking for instructions?" After saying that, Gu Lingze glanced at him sideways, as if he was looking at a fool.
Wang Wencheng was immediately angered by his gaze and slammed the table hard, "Even if the general agrees, military regulations do not allow you to act rashly!"
Gu Lingze just felt that this person was too noisy, and a trace of impatience flashed across his eyes.
When the Right Army Commander Ye Zhixue saw him frowning, his heart skipped a beat. He kept his upper body still and stepped on Wang Wencheng under the table.
"You stepped on me to do it..."
"Grinding some medicinal herbs is not a big deal. Military regulations must be followed, but don't be too rigid." Ye Zhixue spoke before Wang Wencheng could finish.
Gu Tianhua didn't care whether they agreed or not, and immediately asked his deputy general to dispatch people to Gu Lingze.
When it was time to cook, Ye Zhixue followed Wang Wencheng back to his tent.
"Why did you step on me just now? Why didn't you let me finish my words?"
Wang Wencheng, Ye Zhixue and Cao Bingquan are the commanders-in-chief of the left, middle and right camps of the capital respectively. They usually stay in military camps not far from the capital and are directly dispatched by the emperor.
Therefore, they did not have to enter the palace without being summoned, let alone attend court every day, so the three of them knew nothing about what happened in the hall that day.
But Ye Zhixue's father-in-law was the secretary of Taichang Temple. When he returned home from court that day, he wrote down everything that had happened in a letter and sent it to him.
In fact, Ye Zhixue was also skeptical. After all, the things described in the letter were too mysterious and could not be fully convinced.
But it is better to be safe than sorry. Even if Gu Lingze is not that powerful, he is still the son of a general who protects the country. It will be of no benefit for them to confront him head-on.
After listening to his explanation, Wang Wencheng not only did not take it to heart, but instead had a look of sarcasm on his face.
"But he is just a young man. Even if he really has that ability, he would not be forced to come to the northern border." Wang Wencheng snorted coldly.
"So what if he is a general guarding the country? In this situation, even the Chongning Iron Cavalry dares to disobey our orders and refuse to help. How dare he turn against us?"
Seeing his arrogant attitude, Ye Zhixue stopped making any comment.
Anyway, he had already advised him for the sake of his colleague. If Gu Lingze was really a powerful figure, he would not be the one to suffer.
Gu Lingze was busy grinding medicinal herbs when Zhao Chengmo walked in carrying a tray.
"Eat first."
Gu Lingze picked up a pancake and took a bite. "Just eat this."
Zhao Chengmo stuffed him back into the chair, then picked up the soup bowl and said, "If you don't eat well, I'll feed you."
"What? They're all dead?" Wang Wencheng turned around, a look of disbelief on his face, "Are you sure Gu Lingze went out alone?"
“Yes.” The man kneeling on the ground replied, “Among the people sent out, only Wang He came back, but he vomited blood and died after saying a few words.”
"What did you say?"
A hint of hesitation flashed across the man's face. "He said...he told you to be careful, Master."
After hearing this, Wang Wencheng narrowed his eyes, and his expression changed unpredictably.
It was soon evening, and Gu Lingze finally completed all the preparations. After everyone had gone out, he put all the things back into the secret realm.
"Second brother!" Gu Lingze came to Gu Feirui's tent.
Gu Feirui put down his chopsticks and stood up. After Gu Lingze sat down, Gu Feirui comforted him, "You don't have to remember what Wang Wencheng said. Find a day and your second brother will help you beat him up."
Gu Lingze looked at him with confusion, "Who is Wang Wencheng?"
“…”
"Let's not talk about this for now." Gu Lingze had a cunning look in his eyes, "Let's have some fun tonight, do you want to come?"
The two men left the military camp at night and after walking for an hour, they arrived at a high ground in the west.
"Lingze, why are we here?" Gu Feirui looked around and asked puzzledly.
Gu Lingze took out the ancient mortar he had made earlier - the flying mortar, placed it on the ground, and conjured up a field of ammunition filled with powder.
"Using a flying cannon here?" Gu Feirui asked in surprise, "There's no one here, who are you going to bomb with it?"
"You'll find out in a moment."
Gu Lingze never speaks without a purpose. Since he said so, Gu Feirui did not ask any more questions.
The Feiling cannon can hold ten rounds of ammunition at a time. After Gu Feirui had filled both cannons, he pointed the muzzles of the cannons towards the air as Gu Lingze requested.
During this time, Gu Lingze had been drawing something on the ground with cinnabar. After finishing, he nodded to Gu Feirui.
