When I walked out of the lieutenant's house, a faint white color appeared on the horizon. At this time, the night gradually dispersed, and a new day was about to usher in.
Li Yinchen looked at the hazy white sky, feeling the slight chill in the morning, and walked towards the yard where the wounded were treated.
"Captain, how are you? Did the old man tell you what rewards you will get in the future?" A young man with a bandage on his arm came over. He was wearing white clothes similar to Li Yinchen, and his complexion was pale, and he was half human.
The existence of the Chi bloodline.
"Don't shout like an old man, that's Uncle Lin. He usually takes good care of us. Even if you shout, you should call him Mr. Lin." He shook his head helplessly, and then asked with concern.
"Are you feeling better?"
"It's okay, I'll just cultivate myself for a few days and I'll be fine. You haven't answered me yet, is there any reward?" This young man was in his early 20s and somewhat impatient.
"Yes, I've written it down for you, and I'll give you some money as well." As he said this, Li Yinchen took out a dozen silver rings from his arms and put them in his hand.
"Take it first to buy some delicious food and keep yourself healthy. Don't go out of the border these days."
"Well, thank you, Brother Li." He counted the silver rings excitedly and then stepped back.
Afterwards, Li Yinchen expressed condolences to several other injured companions, gave them some money for health care and treatment, and then walked out of the fortress.
The fortress is a place where troops are garrisoned, so there is naturally no place for ordinary people to live. However, he usually lives in a small town on the border, which is the town called "Youcen" that Lorran Hill passed through before.
After returning to the town, he met many familiar neighbors on the road, and he extended his hand to say hello.
"Is the Yinchen back?" An auntie sitting at the doorway choosing vegetables on the roadside saw her and asked.
"Yes, Aunt Liu." Li Yinchen paused and responded.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been lately? It's dangerous to patrol outside the border, isn't it? Let Auntie see if you are injured?" She said and walked over.
"It's okay." Li Yinchen shook his head. This aunt took care of him a lot when he was a child, so it's not surprising that she cares about him like this.
"It's fine." After approaching, Aunt Liu looked at Li Yinchen carefully.
"Yinchen, you are almost thirty this year."
"Yes." Li Yinchen felt something bad in his heart.
"It's time to start a family and start a business. If it's too late, no girl will like you."
"Look at you, you were so fair when you were a child, and many little girls in the neighborhood liked you. Later, when you grew up, even though everyone knew that you were of different blood, there were still a few people who were willing to marry you. But you were better off, and ignored them all. Later,
Everyone has gotten married, and now you are the only one left..."
The aunt started nagging again. After all, in the eyes of the older generation, getting married and having a successful career is the most important thing. Although Li Yinchen is very prestigious in the patrol team, it is a dangerous profession after all. It is best to retire and find another job.
It's good to work.
"Hey, when can you save some money and settle down in the mainland, it would be a good choice. Uncle Wang's family moved to the city the year before last. I will go to their new home. They are so beautiful..." The aunt said.
When there is no end.
"Ahem...Aunt Liu, I know, I'm already saving money now." Li Yinchen had to interrupt and explain.
In fact, he had planned to visit the mainland of the dynasty in his early years, but due to his bloodline, he encountered a lot of strange looks outside and was relatively ostracized, so he simply came back later.
Although people with half-human and half-monster bloodlines are very rare in the mainland, they are also common in this border. And because of their bloodline, they are less affected by the Nine Netherworld Qi in the Ximu Mountains, and can walk there all year round without damaging their bodies.
, so these people were also recruited by the local state capital to set up a special night watch team to deal with monsters and ghosts on the border.
After joining the night watch team, the military will issue them exclusive "winter weapons", which are the slender cold moon sword and moon-white robes that they carry with them.
The long knife is a silver-level creation made by Qipoufang, a subsidiary of Dongguan. It has a special effect on killing souls, and also has a slight purifying effect. The moon-white robe is also from Qipoufang, but this piece of clothing has average protection.
, more useful is to attract ghosts.
The wilderness is very vast, and even if you patrol sometimes you may not encounter prey. Naturally, you need something to attract ghosts and monsters, and this dress plays this role, with a special aura. And if it is white, even in the dark night
It is more conspicuous, making it easier for people to identify and ask for help, and also easier for those monsters to see.
Li Yinchen actually had a complicated mentality towards recruiting these half-human, half-monster border troops. On the one hand, he was grateful that such an organization could put his force to use, receive a relatively generous salary, and earn a living in a small border town.
Some respect.
But on the other hand, he actually saw very clearly that the border troops did not take them seriously, they were just convenient tools and consumables that could be discarded at any time.
People with special status like them are not naturalized in the military. Even if they are injured or killed, they will not report it. At most, they will give some money to express condolences to their families, and then nothing else. But other naturalized sergeants are different. They will only take those
Let's talk about 'Xuanbaoqi'.
These elite sergeants come from the military mansions in the interior. Many of them have been military households for generations. They usually work as farmers. When necessary, they will be recruited by the dynasty to form an army. Such military households have special records in the local area. If
If he died in battle, not only would the dynasty support his family, but he would also be exempted from corvee service and taxes.
If a man in the family dies and his wife and daughter are bullied in the countryside, other military households from the same town and county will also come to help, and the local governor will also take care of these honors on weekdays. This is regarded as the basic national policy of the dynasty. This is why it has been maintained all year round.
The glory and combat effectiveness of the army.
Otherwise, the world's one hundred and thirty-four continents, including many alien dangerous and barbarous lands, would not be so peaceful.
Similarly, important officials in the court who lead armies or serve as officials usually recruit soldiers in their hometowns. Because these fellow villagers share the same interests, they are often extremely loyal and are the confidants of these generals and high-ranking officials. Xuanbaoqi is the current Zhou Mu
He is a pro-army soldier, so he is so arrogant.
After all, this is a world with extraordinary power. If there is no force, even civil servants will be despised and bullied. But as an important member of the dynasty, his own cultivation talent may not be that high, and sometimes he does not have so much energy to practice.
The existence of pro-military forces solves this problem very well.
The pro-army soldiers who practice the Sequence of Killing Soldiers (War Sequence) are often the best-equipped, most loyal, and highest-willed troops around the general. After forming a consensus formation, they often have good combat effectiveness.
The founding king of the Plantagenet Dynasty had two pro-armies around him back then, one of which was the 'Red Bird Dragon Cavalry' and the other was the 'Marigold Hanging Flower'.
On the battlefield, these pro-soldiers accompanied the generals to charge into battle and served as officials in other places. These pro-soldiers also protected the court officials from being killed by extraordinary beings. At the same time, they could also frighten the local gangsters so that these officials would not be left unavailable and defeated.
Hijacked by local forces.
Li Yinchen put aside the thoughts in his mind for the time being, and after talking to the neighbor's aunt for a few words to deal with it, he was able to escape and return to his house.
"Sigh... It's better not to think about far-fetched things. Let's solve our own personal problems first." He laughed at himself in the courtyard, and then relaxed again.
Although patrolling outside at night is usually very dangerous, after returning to this small town, it feels very peaceful. After handing in the heads of so many evil spirits this time, not only did I get a commendation salary, but I also got a few days of rest, which is a good thing.
Fortunately.
With this in mind, Li Yinchen leaned on the lounge chair under the shade of the tree, looked at the flowing clouds in the sky, and prepared to take a nap. After all, he had not slept all night, and when he returned home, he was a little tired.
Half of the afternoon sunshine fell on me, and half was blocked by the green leaves. Sparse birdsong and human voices occasionally came from a distance, and the small yard entered a quiet moment in the afternoon.
Dong Dong——
Just as Li Yinchen gradually fell asleep, a knock on the door suddenly came, and then a female voice sounded.
"Excuse me, is this Li Yinchen's home?" There was a hint of official accent in his accent, which seemed to come from the distant hinterland of the dynasty.
