Just when Xia He was brainstorming, wondering whether he should just fight to the death or just agree to it first and muddle through and then think of a solution.
When he was in a dilemma, a clear and loud female voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Sir General, you are trying to snatch people from the four major camps without even saying hello. Isn't this inappropriate?"
As the words fell, a graceful and beautiful woman rushed into the tent like a gust of wind.
The guards standing outside the door rushed forward to try to stop her, but they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, unable to stop the woman from moving forward.
"I really don't know who this girl is."
Zhen Jie looked at the sudden uninvited guest in front of him with a puzzled look on his face, and was secretly surprised in his heart. After all, a woman dared to break into the heavily guarded military camp alone, she must not be an ordinary person.
The woman raised her head slightly, reached out from her waist, took out a heavy iron plate, held it high, and handed it to Zhen Jie.
Zhen Jie took a closer look and saw that on the iron plate was carved a huge black turtle lying on the ground. A giant snake was coiling around the turtle's tail, its mouth wide open, with its scarlet tongue flickering in and out, just like the legendary mythical beast Xuanwu coming to life.
"My surname is Shan, and my given name is Ling."
When I saw this iron plate, I suddenly understood.
Zhen Jie quickly put away the contempt on his face, smiled, clasped his hands together and bowed to Shan Ling, saying: "Excuse me, it turns out that it is Lord Shan, the deputy commander of the Xuanwu Camp, who has arrived. I am Zhen Jie, and I am sorry for not coming in person to welcome you. I hope Lord Shan will forgive me!"
Although the four major camps have always had a bad relationship with these vassal officials, at this moment, superficial courtesy and greetings are still indispensable.
However, since these military nobles had been fighting fiercely with the prince in the court, there was no need for them to be overly polite.
"Won't the selection of peaks for the four camps be done after the beginning of next spring? Why is Lord Shan in such a hurry?"
Xia He couldn't help but look at Shan Ling.
Four camps to choose from?
You're here so early.
Lord Chai had previously reminded him that the Xuanfeng officer might arrive early, and the news turned out to be true.
The deputy commander of Xuanwu Camp is actually a woman! ?
But her appearance was so coincidental that it seemed that it would not be so easy for Zhen Jie to force him.
"Why, do I need to report to Lord Zhen about the actions of my Xuanwu Camp?"
The situation was tense as soon as they opened their mouths.
"Uh... naturally not necessary."
Zhen Jie laughed dryly a few times, but the smile seemed a little stiff, and the smile that had originally flickered in his eyes was now gone.
"I am just following orders."
Shan Ling, who was standing aside, couldn't help but smile scornfully when he heard this.
She crossed her arms and held her head high. "There are rules in the military. The four major camps have a special status. If there are any good candidates, they can be selected first, and other military organizations are not allowed to compete for them."
This was also the original intention of the late emperor to establish the four major camps - to train generals and martial arts geniuses.
"By order? By whose order? Is it more important than the rules set by the late emperor?"
Hearing this, Zhen Jie's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Master Shan, I cannot bear such a heavy responsibility on my head!"
Shan Ling no longer paid attention to him, but looked at the young man beside him and gestured: "Come with me, I have something to ask you."
After saying that, he took Xia He and walked out without looking back.
In the military tent at this time, Zhen Jie's face was livid, and his eyes were like spitting fire as he stared at Captain Fan fiercely, gnashing his teeth and asking:
"What's going on with this woman? Why did she suddenly come here? You didn't even bother to inform me in advance!"
Captain Fan was so frightened that he trembled all over, and quickly lowered his head to explain: "Sir, please calm down. I really don't know anything about this..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Zhen Jie.
"You don't know anything? What's the use of you?!"
Zhen Jie cursed a few times, then he calmed down a little, thought for a moment and analyzed:
"This woman came so early, she must have other purposes. In my opinion, the prince probably sent her to cause trouble for us..."
"If you don't want to die, you'd better make preparations in advance. I'm afraid this kid named Xia can't be kept alive..."
"If you really cause trouble for the governor, you will be beheaded!"
Captain Fan's expression changed slightly.
He had given Xia He several chances before, but this kid was really tactless and not as honest as he looked. He really misjudged him.
In this case, even if Zhen Jie didn't give orders, he couldn't let this kid go. A strong murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.
…
…
After walking out of the garrison, Xia He had no intention of paying attention to the surprised looks of the group of soldiers behind him.
At this moment, he was full of doubts and couldn't help turning his head frequently to take a closer look at the young woman next to him who was about his age.
Deputy commander of Xuanwu Camp?
It is said that the four major camps only accept geniuses, so what level is the woman in front of me?
And she suddenly appeared in the military tent to save the situation. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
Xia He thought to himself while following quickly.
Before I knew it, I arrived at the edge of a field.
There was a slightly shabby donkey cart parked in front, and a figure was standing next to the donkey cart.
When I got closer, I saw that it was the town magistrate, Lord Chai.
When he saw the two people returning safely, the huge rock in his heart finally fell.
