Zi Chuanxiu walked towards his residence, feeling upset. Just at the door of his residence, he suddenly felt that the sun was so bright that his vision went dark, he felt dizzy, and his body was shaking and teetering.

A pair of warm hands came to support him in time, and a female voice asked: "Sir, are you okay?"

"Is it Bai Chuan?" Zi Chuanxiu heard the voice. He opened his eyes and took a long breath: "I'm fine."

Only then did he notice that Bai Chuan was not the only one around. Right at the door of his tent, stood a long line of generals. At a glance, Zi Chuanxiu saw Roger, Ming Yu, Lin Bing, Brand, De

Kun, Fang Yun and others. The generals did not speak, but all looked at Zichuan Xiu.

Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Zichuan Xiuqiang smiled and said: "Why are you all here? Is something wrong?"

Generals, you looked at me, and I looked at you, but no one said anything. Their expressions were quite strange, and everyone had a straight face. In the end, Baichuan, who was closest to Zi Chuanxiu among the people, spoke on behalf of everyone: "Everyone

, it’s nothing, it’s just that we haven’t seen you for a long time and miss you very much. Now everyone is coming to see you.”

Zichuanxiu felt confused. It had been a long time since he had seen him. Didn't he greet him at the city gate just now? Looking at the gloomy faces of everyone, Zichuanxiu suddenly noticed this: everyone gathered here, except Fang Yun,

They are generals from the Far East, and there are almost no generals from the mainland of the family.

He suddenly understood: I'm afraid everyone knew about the conversation between Sterling and him just now. So, everyone gathered here now came to be loyal to him! In other words, appearing at the door of his tent at this moment,

They are all people who are loyal to themselves.

His heart trembled: What about those people who didn't show up here at this moment? Even a man as big as Roger and even rough orcs like Bran and Dekun knew that this was a critical moment and they had to arrive. Those who didn't show up

People, where are they?

Wen He of the First Cavalry Corps, Stari of the Jiashan Infantry Division, Lindi with the Undead Battalion Division, Wu Bin with the 101st Special Forces Division, none of them showed up at this moment, so where are they?

At this moment, is there a circle of people around Sterling who are also expressing their loyalty to the head of the Military Affairs Office? Because of Sterling's arrival, the originally monolithic expeditionary force has split into two distinct camps.

Zi Chuanxiu was surprised, why did Fang Yun, a red-robed Hatamoto from the mainland, also appear here? According to his background, he should be a die-hard general of the mainland faction! But there were so many people at the moment, he was too embarrassed to ask. He just smiled easily.

He said: "Since you are here, let's go in and sit down. It's been a long time since we saw you. I miss you all too."

Everyone filed in and sat down in a circle in Zichuanxiu's tent. The orderlies poured tea for the generals, and Zichuanxiu told everyone about their experiences during the trip with Meng Khan. All the generals were there.

Listening - but it was obvious that no one was paying attention to the conversation in front of them. The atmosphere was low and depressing. Even Zichuanxiu mentioned shocking personnel matters such as Meng Han's sudden death. It did not stir up much waves. The generals

His eyes were as weird as those of a drug dealer, exchanging one or two meaningful glances from time to time.

Obviously, in terms of patience and intrigue, the simple orcs are far from the opponents of humans. Unable to stand such a depressing atmosphere, the orc general Bran was the first to speak: "Everyone, we have heard that,

The Zichuan family sent Sterling to seize the military power of the expeditionary force. He wants to seize your position as the commander! Sir, what should we do?"

As if hearing the clarion call for battle, countless eyes focused on Zi Chuanxiu, and everyone was observing Zi Chuanxiu's expression.

Zichuan Xiu's eyebrows were raised, and her eyes were as bright as lightning: "Bran, what are you talking about? Lord Sterling is not only the military affairs director of my family, but also my best friend. Everyone, you should know that Sterling Your Excellency is the leading tactical expert of our Zichuan family, and his ability to command on the spot is unparalleled in the world. Now, the family has appointed him here to strengthen the command line-up of our expeditionary force and speed up the progress of the expedition against the Senea tribe! Bran, this is a major event for the legion. It's very complicated. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! If you dare to talk nonsense again and shake the morale of the army, I will deal with you according to military law!"

Zichuan Xiu scolded him sternly, but it seemed that the generals were like the wind blowing in their ears, and no one was intimidated. Another half-orc general Dekun coughed: "Sir, we Zoe people don't understand anything. It’s a major event for the legion, but I see something is wrong with Sterling’s approach this time. Commander Jun Wuer, this is basic common sense, even we all know it. But since the expeditionary army has you sitting in charge, why did the family send it again? Sterling? From now on, who should listen to what happens in the army? Who gives orders? In my opinion, this family order is very fishy. Maybe they will treat everyone like you..."

Dekun stopped speaking meaningfully and looked around. He looked at Zichuanxiu with his one eye with great intelligence: "Sir, there have been rumors everywhere in the military camp in the past two days, saying that Sterling intends to steal your rights." Military power, it is said that the Undead Battalion has received a secret order. They are ready to do harm to you and kidnap you back. Now, we are also ready! When you were talking to Sterling just now, I had already asked the boys under my command. We are ready, as long as there is any noise, we will rush in immediately to rescue you!"

"Nonsense!" Two scolding voices sounded at the same time. While Zichuan Xiu was scolding, Lin Bing had already stood up. She pointed at Dekun and shouted: "Dekun! You are going too far! Although Mr. Xiuchuan is not here, But I am still the temporary person in charge of the military camp! You mobilized your subordinates without the consent of the superiors, and prepared to provoke a fight in the army. When it comes to military law, you can prepare to be hanged!"

If he was scolded by Zichuan Xiu, Dekun might still be a little scared, but he didn't care if he was scolded by Lin Bing. He looked arrogant and unruly, rolled his eyes and looked at Lin Bing sideways, as if what can you do to me? posture.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Bing's face was as cold as a layer of ice: "Dekun, do you think this means you are loyal to the Lord? Let me tell you, you almost harmed the Lord! In such a sensitive period, You mobilized troops there, do you think Sterling and the others are just fools and don't know anything about it? Did you know that Wu Bin's 101 Special Division has been mobilized just now, in dozens of tents and commanding heights around the commander's camp, They are all ambushed by military police armed with powerful crossbows. If you lead people over so rashly, if a conflict breaks out and everyone is injured, can you bear the responsibility?"

As soon as Lin Bing said this, everyone was shocked, and several voices sounded at the same time: "What's going on?"

"Is this really happening?"

"How do you know?"

Zi Chuanxiu was also shocked. In this world, the person he trusted most was Sterling. Sterling was upright, serious, and solemn. Although he was a bit rigid, Sterling's personality and quality were impeccable. , he is like a majestic mountain, which makes people feel supported in their hearts when they think of him.

He looked at Lin Bing seriously: "Sir Lin, this matter is important, so we can't talk nonsense. Where did you hear this news?"

Lin Bing leaned forward slightly, lowered his head and replied: "For everyone, it was Your Excellency Fang Yun Hongyi who informed me urgently."

"Fang Yun?" Zi Chuanxiu's doubtful eyes turned to the red-clothed flag book who had been silent next to him. The latter stood up and bowed respectfully to Zi Chuanxiu: "Your Excellency, you are aware of this. However, this matter was not ordered by Sir Sterling.

Because, the real mastermind is someone else. In fact, Sir Sterling has no idea about this at all."

"Who is that?"

"Lindy Red Flag Book."

"Lindy from the Immortal Camp?"

"It's this person!" Fang Yun nodded affirmatively: "He found me and Wu Bin at the same time and told us that the family intends to sideline Commander Xiuchuan. Now everyone in Sterling is meeting with Commander Xiuchuan because

Everyone knows that Mr. Xiuchuan is the top expert in the family, so we must be on guard to prevent Mr. Xiuchuan from doing that... "

Speaking of this, Fang Yun hesitated a little, as if he couldn't say it. Zi Chuanxiu urged him: "It doesn't matter, just say it."

"Yes, sir. Lindy said that in case Mr. Xiuchuan jumped over the wall in a hurry and a sudden explosion injured General Sterling, he asked us to arrange some manpower to be on guard nearby. Wu Bin hesitated for a while, but agreed, and I asked him

, Sir Sterling wants to mobilize troops, of course there is no problem. But mobilizing troops to monitor the commander's camp is tantamount to a mutiny. Such a big thing, without Sir Sterling's personal order or his handwriting

Warrant, how dare we as subordinates? And Mr. Lindy, you yourself command the undead camp, why don't you let your subordinates do this and find us?"

"That's a reasonable question! How would Lindy answer?"

"Lin Di didn't answer. He just sneered. He said this kind of thing just to see everyone's loyalty. Everyone can take care of it by themselves. He showed others the way and he didn't force them to go - his tone was very tough.

, with a confident posture, as if he has a lot of background behind him. I suspect that there is someone behind him, otherwise, how could a small red-shirted flag book dare to deploy troops to monitor the conversation between the two commanders without authorization? "

Zi Chuanxiu frowned, recalling Lindy's appearance in his mind. As the commander of the expeditionary force, he had a rough idea of ​​the identities and backgrounds of his senior officers. Lindy was from the Imperial Capital, and was said to be a noble from a certain family.

He is a very young and talented young man, not yet thirty years old. He was originally the captain of the Imperial Guard, and later commanded his men to defend the last corridor during the defense of Danya and withstood the final fight of the demons.

After living in Zichuan Shenxing, Luo Minghai and other senior family members, Liu Fengshuang came to help him. After accomplishing this great feat, he rose to great heights.

During the war, many senior officers were killed in action, and there were many vacancies. In just half a year, Lindy rose from a small banner-level captain to a high-ranking red-coat banner commander in less than half a year. I had no personal contact with him and usually

I only had contact with him at military affairs meetings. In my impression, he was a taciturn young man with a slightly pale face and a thin and frail figure. He seldom spoke and always liked to frown and his eyes were a little deep. Usually Zichuan

Xiu didn't pay much attention to him and just regarded him as a talented young general. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, he was the first to jump out and embarrass himself so resolutely.

If I don’t get angry, all cats and dogs will jump on my head! Do you think you are easy to bully?

Zi Chuanxiu's expression remained unchanged, and there was a hint of forlornness in his eyes. In the eyes of Bai Chuan, Roger and other old subordinates who were familiar with him, they all changed their eyes knowingly, knowing that this usually amiable commander had murderous intentions.

He looked at Fang Yun and said kindly: "Your Excellency Lindi is young and successful, and his actions are a bit reckless. General Sterling and I are brothers and sisters. If he does this, won't he be afraid of the general punishing him? But Your Excellency Fang Yun, I am also

It's a bit strange. Normally, you are from the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, so you should be a direct subordinate of the Military Affairs Department. You and I stand so closely this time, aren't you afraid of being punished when you go back?"

All the generals' eyes were focused on the round-headed young man, with doubts in their eyes: Yes, Fang Yun is a die-hard general of the mainland faction. He had no friendship with Zichuan Xiu before, no matter from which angle.

, he has no reason to side with Zichuan Xiu!

Under the gaze of many suspicious eyes, Fang Yun looked calm: "Sir, I have a reason to do this."

"Please tell me."

Looking around, Fang Yun hesitated and said: "Sir, can you let me report it alone?"

Bai Chuan, Lin Bing, Luo Jie and others stood up knowingly and were about to say goodbye when Zi Chuanxiu waved his hand to stop them. He smiled and said: "The people here are all my most trusted subordinates and they are all trustworthy. I

There is nothing to hide from them. Your Excellency Fang Yun, please tell me."

When Zi Chuanxiu said this, all the subordinates around him were flushed, energetic, and felt that they had come today. Fang Yun felt slightly embarrassed, looked around, and hesitated for a while. Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind.

With determination, Gao Wan took out a small iron sign from the pocket of his clothes and handed it to Zichuan Xiu with both hands respectfully: "My lord, please take a look."

Zi Chuanxiu took it. The iron plate was dark and shiny, and had been polished very smooth. It had obviously been hidden close to the body for a long time. The front of the iron plate was flat, without any logo or text. Zi Chuanxiu slowly turned the iron plate over, and a dragon and a phoenix danced around.

The word "frost" suddenly comes into view.

His body trembled slightly, and amid the thunder and lightning, Zichuan Xiu immediately gathered the iron plate in his hand to prevent others from seeing it. He already understood that he had indeed taken a huge risk by forcing Fang Yun to reveal his identity!

He slowly handed the sticker back to Fang Yun, who took it with both hands and carefully packed it away.

At this time, when Zi Chuanxiu looked at Fang Yun, her eyes had lost all doubts and speculations, and had become more intimate: "I didn't expect that you are hers."

"I am scared. Because the matter is so important, I have not dared to reveal my identity to you. However, Your Highness has always been very concerned about you and asked us to try our best to assist you. At this moment, I have concealed my identity so far. Please forgive me."

Zichuanxiu nodded and sighed in his heart: Just like the Zichuan family has spies in the Liufeng family, the Liufeng family also has a large number of spies and spies inside the Zichuan family. These spies have always been the key targets of the Special Counter Intelligence Division of the Supervisory Office.

It is not uncommon for both sides to capture many traitors and spies every year, but it is really rare for a spy to sit in the high position of commander of the corps and red-coated bannerman.

After gathering his thoughts, Zi Chuanxiu asked gently: "So, Fang Yun, tell me, has Sterling said anything special to you since he arrived at Varnstad?"

Understanding what Zichuanxiu meant by "special words", Fang Yun shook his head firmly: "Sir, no. Not only no, Sir Sterling also warned us on various occasions, saying that Mr. Xiuchuan, you are personally appointed by the family. The expedition commander is the supreme commander of the expeditionary force. We must obey your orders, and we must not violate them openly or covertly, and we must not have other thoughts. If anyone dares to disobey your orders, even if you are magnanimous and do not pursue them, he will never Let it go!”

Listening to Fang Yun's words, Zichuanxiu felt a warm current flow into his heart. Sterling is indeed Sterling, he has not changed, he is still the upright and aboveboard Sterling that he is familiar with!

Most of the generals listened to the conversation between Zichuan Xiu and Fang Yun, and most of them were in tears. Zichuan Xiu simply explained to them: "You don't need to ask anything else, just know this: Your Excellency Fang Yun is one of our own. Now we understand, It turns out that it was all a false alarm. Dekun, you have to change your impatience. Don't let the wind be the rain and make people laugh. You all have to listen to me. Mr. Sterling is not only the military leader of the family, but also the leader of the family. My good friend. Everyone must respect him. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will never let him go! Okay, nothing happens, let’s leave like this!"

The generals dispersed as ordered and separated one after another. During the separation, Lin Bing looked back at Zichuan Xiu with a complicated look in her eyes. But she didn't say anything, so they separated.

Everyone dispersed, but Baichuan stayed alone. Zichuanxiu asked strangely: "Baichuan, what's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Bai Chuan looked a little hesitant and hesitated: "Renren, can I say a few words?"

"If it is related to Sterling this time, then it goes without saying."

Baichuan said eagerly: "Sir, I'm sorry, but I have to disobey your order. Although we all know General Sterling's character and character, we also know that he is a good friend of yours. He is a trustworthy person. But I believe that the problem is not Lord Sterling's attitude. The fact that the family sent him here shows a very distrustful attitude. This is to contain and monitor your actions. . Regarding this, we must be prepared in advance, otherwise if the family suddenly attacks us, we will be caught off guard and will be very passive."

When Bai Chuan was talking, Zi Chuanxiu had been sitting on the chair, hiding his face in his hands tiredly. When Bai Chuan finished speaking, he raised his head: "Are you done?"

Bai Chuan was stunned: "It's over, sir."
