Chapter 169: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey
Outside the military camp, a one-eyed man wearing armor and holding a single sword on his waist came.
Seeing him coming, the soldiers made way to both sides, looking at him with a little awe.
"Greetings to the deputy commander!"
"Greetings to the deputy commander!"
The bearded man who was angry just now also lowered his head, looking like a bullied young wife.
Yan Si walked in front of Han Xu, who had already got off the horse. When the two stood together, Han Xu was actually a little taller.
Although Yan Si had only one eye, this remaining eye seemed to have a sharp insight into the world.
He said, "Are you Han Xu?"
"It's the real thing, it's me."
It was not until then that many people calmed down and really heard Han Xu's name clearly.
Suddenly, everyone started to mutter, and Han Xu felt that everyone's hostility towards him had become stronger.
"Ah!" Yan Si paused, and the soldiers gradually quieted down.
"Han Xu, what are you doing here today?"
"What are you doing?" Han Xu said, "Of course I'm here to take up my post. Could it be that I've come all the way to this remote place to enjoy the mountains and rivers?"
"Watch your words, or the brothers won't be polite!" said the bearded man.
"Back off." As soon as Yan Si spoke, he backed off.
"I've received your letter of appointment a long time ago, but you haven't come yet, so I didn't ask anyone to urge you. Since you're here today, I'll take you to get familiar with it first." Yan Si's awareness is obviously higher than others.
"Deputy Commander, save me!" At this time, Ma Zi's weak cry for help sounded again. Yan Si looked in the direction of the sound, frowned, and asked, "You ten people, didn't you beat the two of them?"
"Yes, it was her alone." Ma Zi tried to arch his lips and pointed in the direction of Qing'er.
Yan Si looked over in the direction he pointed, looking at this beautiful girl he had discovered a long time ago. He didn't expect that she looked so cold, but she was so powerful.
Then, Yan Si suddenly scolded Ma Zi: "Disgraceful waste."
After that, he led Han Xu and Qing'er into the camp. Ma Zi struggled for help behind him, but no one went to untie their chains.
After entering the camp, Yan Si took Han Xu around, from the arena to the dormitory.
From the current conversation, Yan Si did not seem to have any resistance to Han Xu's arrival.
After the tour, Yan Si asked people to notify all soldiers to gather at the arena.
Then, the horn sounded, and the soldiers heard the sound, put down their work, and ran towards the arena.
"Han Xu, we are colleagues from now on. I have to remind you here."
"Please speak."
"It was rumored in the military camp that General Wang's death was closely related to your sister and brother, so don't expect the brothers in the camp to have a good attitude towards you."
"It seems that Wang Qian has a high prestige in your hearts."
"It can be said that at least when General Wang was alive, everyone received five times the silver they get every month."
"Is there anyone in the military withholding military pay?"
"You can talk nonsense, but I can't." Yan Si said, and then he didn't say anything more.
However, his implication was already very clear. Someone in the court took advantage of the fact that the Cavalry Battalion had no backing and stretched out his greedy and dirty hands here.
Soon, the soldiers gathered in the arena. The Cavalry Battalion was not large, and there were only 500 people in total.
"Everyone, this is the deputy commander appointed by His Majesty himself, General Han Xu."
As soon as the voice fell, there were bursts of sighs from all around, which showed that Yan Si's words were not untrue.
Han Xu sneered at the corner of his mouth and said to Yan Si: "Brother Yan, please introduce the brothers to me."
Yan Si admired Han Xu's psychological endurance and said to him: "There are more than 500 soldiers in the camp, ranging from the third to the eighth level. Of course, I am the only one with the eighth level at present."
"The positions in the camp are determined according to the cultivation level. Among them, there are five centurions, that is, the five people standing in the front row, and there are fifty decapitators."
Han Xu looked at the five people in the front row. The bearded man was among them. Although this man had an explosive temperament, his strength was indeed remarkable and had reached the peak of the sixth level.
Most of the other soldiers were in the third level. Those who reached the fourth level were ranked as decapitators, and the lowest level among the five centurions was the peak of the fifth level.
Overall, the fighting power of the Cavalry Battalion should be good, and Han Xu could feel a murderous aura from these soldiers. They should have experienced the test of life and death on the battlefield. Such soldiers can only exert their full strength on the battlefield.
If this team can be trained well, it may not be impossible to become a tiger and wolf division. =
Looking at a group of soldiers who wanted to kill him, Han Xu smiled and walked to the front of the stage and said, "I know that 99% of you have opinions about me, dislike me, and want to beat me up."
"It doesn't matter, I can understand. After all, I don't take you scumbags seriously."
"Asshole, watch your words, otherwise even if you are the deputy commander, I will be rude to you!" The first one to be ignited was still the bearded man. He had a bad temper, and his monthly payment was deducted a lot during this period, so he was very depressed.
And all this was blamed on Han Xu.
"Is this the military discipline of the Cavalry Battalion?" Han Xu asked in a cold voice, "Military law stipulates that anyone who commits an offense against his superiors in the army shall be punished with death!"
"You, a young boy, I'm stretching my neck here, do you dare to chop it?"
As he said this, he deliberately stretched his neck and patted his neck again and again, constantly provoking.
"Before you said this, I'm afraid you lack some basic understanding of me."
"There are really not many things in this world that I, Han Xu, dare not do."
"Come on, drag him down and chop him off!"
After Han Xu finished speaking, no one responded for a long time. The bearded man looked at Han Xu arrogantly and said, "Why don't you call someone to chop him off!"
Han Xu looked around and said, "No one obeyed the order, right?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Qing'er."
As soon as the voice fell, Qing'er raised his knife and chopped it down with a wind blade at lightning speed.
A round head fell to the ground.
It took a while for everyone to realize what happened. Han Xu actually chopped off a centurion directly.
"You"
"Brothers, kill him!"
"Kill him!"
For a moment, the crowd was excited, and many people drew their swords and were about to step forward, and Yan Si did not stop them.
"Qing'er, whoever starts a fight, just kill him." Han Xu said coldly.
This word was clearly heard by everyone, and everyone remembered that the cold and beautiful girl on the stage had just cut off the beard in a second without blinking an eye. She killed a centurion.
The soldiers believed that if Qing'er wanted to kill any of them, she would not need to blink an eye.
Perhaps it would be easier than cutting wheat.
So, the voices denouncing Han Xu suddenly became much smaller. People are like this. When their own interests and safety are threatened, they will take care of themselves first.
"Okay, since you won't say anything, I'll say it." Han Xu saw that everyone had quieted down, and then said, "This man contradicted his superiors and deserved to die. Remember, from now on, when I, Han Xu, am in the camp, you'd better abide by the rules and don't let me catch you."
"In addition, starting from next month, the military pay will double on the previous basis."
At this moment, everyone's eyes on Han Xu changed.
Even Yan Si looked at him, feeling surprised.
The soldiers in the camp usually don't go to the royal city, but Yan Si often goes there, so he knows Han Xu better than any soldier present.
But now it seems that it is not as bad as the rumors say.
From his big stick and candied dates just now, he is definitely not a waste. In just a few moves, he shocked the unruly Cavalry Camp.
Seeing that the surroundings were completely quiet, Han Xu knew that the first step was completed. At least today he established prestige and found out the details.
After Han Xu achieved his goal, he did not forget the mission that Emperor Wu had given him. He said to Yan Si, "Yan Si, accept the order."
"According to my order, Yan Si will lead the soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion to the southern border to investigate the Wushen Cult's opening of the Heavenly Calculation. Act according to the situation."
