When the adjutant refused to save him, Qiao Chengan became angry and wanted to kill him. But just as he was about to tell the truth, he was killed by the captain with an arrow. He died in a miserable way.
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, the prefect coldly accused the captain: "Qin Yu, you are killing people and silencing them!"
Qin Yu said without any sign of weakness: "Master Taishou, when we are facing a great enemy, how can we let such an unknown person disturb the morale of the army? Maybe he is a spy sent by Rakshasa City, who wants to sow discord and disintegrate Loulan City from within.
, we can’t be fooled!”
The prefect clenched his fists, but in the end he suppressed the anger in his heart.
Qin Yu is right, there is a powerful enemy in front of him, and it is indeed not a wise choice to conflict with him at this time.
However, we cannot let him continue to act recklessly, so we must find a way to check and balance him.
After thinking for a moment, the prefect turned his attention to the captain, who was still unconscious.
He walked up to Feng Ji and asked politely: "Doctor Feng, how is Captain Liu Shi's health? Can he recover?"
Feng Ji cupped his hands and replied: "I have checked. Although Mr. Liu was seriously injured, his muscles and bones were not damaged. In addition, his physical fitness is very good. As long as he takes good care of himself, he will be able to move freely tomorrow."
"Okay!" The prefect nodded heavily.
"I received a message from the flying pigeon in the royal city this morning. Reinforcements are already on the way and will arrive within five days at the earliest. Before that, we must do our best to defend Loulan City, so I announced that after Liu Hong wakes up, he will temporarily
Serve as commander of a battalion."
Only then did Mo Shouchen find out that the name of the tenth captain was Liu Hong.
Qin Yu's face suddenly dropped when he heard that the prefect asked Liu Hong to serve as the commander of the first battalion.
He walked to the prefect and said in a strong tone: "Liu Hong was demoted here. If he is made a captain of thousands, the king will definitely blame him when he finds out. No one can bear this responsibility!"
The prefect smiled and said: "Now is an extraordinary period, and everything must be done to protect Loulan City. Liu Hong is indeed guilty, but he was also the commander of the imperial army."
"And he only led a dozen people to successfully block the attack of the ancient ghosts, and also killed the enemy leader. With such outstanding abilities, looking at the entire Loulan City, no one is more suitable for this position than him."
Qin Yu continued to argue: "But the first battalion now has less than a thousand people. Instead of setting up a separate commander of a thousand, it is better to let them all belong to the second battalion and be managed by me."
The prefect shook his head and said: "I believe in Master Qin's ability, but after all, you are better at fighting at a distance, so someone still needs to lead the soldiers to charge into battle."
"As for the number of people, I think we can transfer 200 men from the second battalion to the first battalion, so that the number of people will be even. But don't worry, Master Qin. Although you and Liu Hong are both commanders, you are still the highest commander of the army."
Qin Yu smiled coldly.
Highest command?
To put it nicely, if a war really broke out, Liu Hong would not be able to obey his orders, so the prefect made it clear that he wanted to find someone to restrain him.
At this point, Qin Yu knew that no matter what he said, he could not make the prefect change his mind.
He flicked his sleeves and said unceremoniously: "Since your Excellency insists on having your own way, I, Qin, have no choice but to obey your orders. However, when I return to the royal city, I will definitely report to the King truthfully what you have done."
The prefect clasped his hands behind his back and said nonchalantly: "It's up to you!"
"Hmph! Let's go!"
The angry Qin Yu waved and led Adjutant Men and his trusted troops back to the city.
After Qin Yu left, the governor's expression immediately softened a lot. He turned to look at Mo Shouchen and others, and then said: "Thank you for helping Loulan City resist foreign enemies. From now on, you are no longer slaves and can be free."
Go in and out of Loulan City, but I still hope you can stay and help us guard Loulan City."
Mo Shouchen saluted the prefect, and then said respectfully: "Don't worry, sir, we have no plans to leave Loulan City yet, so before reinforcements arrive, my companions and I will join the first battalion to guard Loulan with Master Liu."
city."
The prefect replied: "Okay! Then I will first thank you on behalf of the soldiers and people of Loulan City!"
On the other side, Qin Yu returned to the barracks, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground.
Looking at the debris on the ground, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said to the adjutant door next to him: "You should hurry up and deal with that matter. You must solve the problem before reinforcements arrive."
The adjutant of the door bowed his body humbly and said: "Don't worry, sir, I already have a suitable candidate in mind, and he will definitely be able to handle this matter."
At night, exhausted mentally and physically, Mo Shouchen and others went to bed early. The pale moonlight shone on the wooden door of the barracks, and a black shadow emerged from the door like a ghost.
The dark shadow moved cautiously against the wall. After dodging the guards watching the night, he quietly entered the adjutant's barracks.
"You finally came!"
In the barracks, the adjutant was sitting in front of a square table. There was a pot of tea and two teacups on the table, as if he had known someone would come.
Chen Ying walked out of the shadows. He glanced at the teacup on the table and asked, "Your Majesty called me here late at night, so it must not have been for tea, right?"
The adjutant of the door smiled slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and motioned for Chen Ying to sit down. Then he poured tea and said calmly: "You are right, I came to you not just for tea, I need it."
You do one thing for me."
Chen Ying sat on the chair and reached out to pick up the tea that Adjutant Men had just poured. He brought the tea cup to his nose and smelled it, then put it on the table and pushed it back in front of Adjutant Men.
"Well, it's good tea, but I'm afraid I'll die if I drink it!"
The adjutant knew that Chen Yingyi had something to say, and he said: "I am not to blame for Qiao Chengan's death. It was because he was ignorant of current affairs and insisted on confessing me. If he had been stricter at that time, I would have been able to save his life."
.”
After speaking, the adjutant pushed the tea cup back: "I think you are smarter than him and won't do such stupid things. And if you cooperate with me, I can promote you to be a centurion."
Chen Ying shook his head and said: "I am used to being free and have no interest in being an official."
"oh?"
The adjutant door frowned slightly, then smiled faintly. He stood up and took out a small red box from the cabinet and placed it on the table.
"In the box is a pill that can improve your power. I wonder if you are interested."
Chen Ying picked up the box and opened the lid, only to see a black pill the size of a grape contained in the box.
He has a skill that can detect props in the script world, so he activated the detection skill while touching the pill.
