Chapter 261 Candlelight



"Deer-like creature!"

Before even getting close to the camp, Shen Qian first saw a fluttering flag with two bright red characters printed on it.

Besides the text, there is also a strange image of a ferocious beast.

At first glance, it looks like a horse, with a white head and a bright red tail, and tiger-like stripes. It is exceptionally handsome and majestic.

"Is that the Deer-Shu from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

She frowned deeply.

"Yes, it is said that all the battalions of Jiangzhong Army are named after mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

Shang Zuo answered in a very serious manner.

"Then there should be a real deer-like creature..."

He murmured before sinking in.

Shang Zuo glanced at Shen Qian with surprise, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Shen Qian probably knew what he was thinking.

Regardless of whether the mythical beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas actually exist, even if they do, they must be incredibly powerful. Ordinary people would never have the ability to capture them alive, let alone use them as guardian mascots.

After verifying their identities, the two entered the Lu Shu camp's encampment and first arrived outside the commander's tent.

Shen Qian waited outside, while Shang Zuo went in first to report.

A moment later, Shang Zuo came out again.

"Report: Commander Yu is out and not in the camp!"

"Going out?"

After a moment of surprise, Shen Qian frowned deeply.

Are you kidding me!

If Yu Shouyi didn't know that Shen Qian would officially enlist today, Shen Qian would never believe it.

Shen Qian hadn't seen Yu Shousi when he was in the school's small auditorium. He had assumed that Yu was already waiting for him in the Lu Shu camp, but who knew it would turn out like this.

"What the hell...!"

After pondering for a moment, Shen Qian shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's go straight to Liandi!"

According to the normal procedure, before going to his post, he should first pay a visit to the commander-in-chief, then get to know his colleagues through the commander-in-chief's introduction, and finally go to take up his post.

But since Yu Shouyi ignored him and it seemed that no one came to greet him, he simply skipped over it.

The tenth company of the Lushu Camp were stationed right next to each other, and Shen Qian and Shang Zuo walked along the first company.

It must have been during drill time, as rows of soldiers could be seen shouting and lining up. At first glance, the scene was truly impressive, with a solemn and imposing military bearing.

"As expected of the Jiangzhong Army, even though the Lushu Battalion is not ranked very high, they still have such a military bearing."

He silently sighed before sinking down.

Long ago, when Shen Qian learned that Yu Shousi came from the Lu Shu Camp, he had done some research on him.

Jiang Zhongjun had a total of thirteen battalions, and the Lushu Battalion was not particularly prominent among them.

But this is only relative. After all, Jiang Zhongjun ranks among the top in China, so his lower limit is fixed and cannot be too low.

The military personnel also noticed the two people walking by, but they only glanced at them curiously before looking away.

They continued forward, passing through one continuous land after another.

"...Seventh Company, Eighth Company, Tenth Company!"

"Huh?"

Shen Qian was taken aback for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Shang Zuo, who was equally confused.

The two of them went back down.

"Tenth Company, Eighth Company, Seventh Company..."

Before sinking, he was finally able to confirm that he hadn't misread anything.

No nine-pull... what the heck?

Shang Zuo found a guard patrolling the roadside, asked him a few questions, and quickly returned with a strange expression.

"What do you mean?" Shen Qian asked.

Shang Zuo didn't say a word, but simply led Shen Qian to the entrance of a small road.

Shen Qian realized something from Shang Zuo's expression. He frowned, then took a few steps back and examined him carefully.

This is a narrow intersection sandwiched between the Eighth Company and the Tenth Company.

It was overgrown with weeds and there were absolutely no signs.

Shen Qian and Shang Zuo had passed through here twice before, but they had never recognized that it was a road.

"...That bastard Lao Huang lost again last night, hahaha, he won't get his salary for the next three months!"

"Damn, Wang Jing's luck has been too good lately, so we can't play with him."

Just as Shen Qian was lost in thought, two cursing voices rang out from behind him. Then, two disheveled military men, their arms around each other's shoulders, staggered past them, reeking of alcohol.

"Excuse me, is the Ninth Company located here?"

He asked in a deep voice.

The two men paused, glanced at Shen Qian, but didn't answer him at all, and went straight into the path.

"you……"

Shang Zuo was about to shout when Shen Qian stopped him.

Only after the two people disappeared at the end of the path did Chen Qian exhale a breath of stale air. "Let's go in and take a look."

Shen Qian led Shang Zuo into the narrow path, slowly making their way deeper into the path.

After about a few kilometers, the view suddenly cleared up, revealing a sparse campsite.

Compared to the other plots of land, this campsite with its crooked sign at the entrance was not only extremely small, but also looked incredibly dilapidated compared to the orderly and well-organized plots.

"This is more than just a mess..."

Shen Qian actually laughed. He stood there for a while, experiencing the noise of the camp and listening to the various sounds, before finally stepping into the camp gate.

"Halt! Military restricted area. No trespassing!"

The guards at the gate stopped Shen Qian in time, which gave him some comfort, at least he wasn't completely useless.

"Young man, bring Lin Tong to see me."

Therefore, Chen Qian's attitude was extremely warm.

The guard was taken aback when he heard Lin Tong's name, but when he saw the military document that Shang Zuo presented, he quickly stood at attention, saluted, and then ran inside without saying a word.
