Gao Deming raised his head and glanced at Ren Ning opposite, with a complicated look on his face.
From last night to now, one day and one night has been enough for the fortress to ask a detailed question clearly about how old a craftsman is: how old he is when he wets the bed and how old he is when he peeks into the widow's bath.
Xizuo didn't know Ren Ning.
He just randomly selected a wounded soldier, put the poison on him, and waited for the wounded soldier to return to the fortress and took the poison with him.
I don’t know who the secret agent is in the fortress, what military positions they have, or how to obtain the poison.
Why choose wounded soldiers?
the reason is simple.
Most of the wounded soldiers were covered with thick bandages, and their sense of touch was insensitive due to their injuries. If there was something extra in the bandages or clothes, they usually couldn't feel it.
The most important thing is that the fortress has just won a battle, and the proud gate guards will usually not look at the wounded soldiers to check their identities. As long as they have an identity token, they can return to the fortress smoothly.
How can I be so unlucky that I couldn't choose anyone, but I chose Ren Ning.
A scout who kills decisively.
Before Sesaku could react, he was stabbed on both arms, and then his head was hit hard, without even giving him a chance to spread poison or bite his tongue.
Ren Ning didn't know this.
In the days after he came down, he was training horses and self-training in the scout camp.
In the blink of an eye, it had been three months since he returned to the fortress.
It is said that it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones. On this day, Mrs. Zhang came over to remove the bandage, checked Ren Ning's pulse carefully, and officially announced that he had recovered.
Now that he has recovered, it means he can go on missions.
However, the grassland suffered fires and rare heavy rains last time, and was pushed back by the fortress's army. This autumn and winter, the grassland has finally become much more peaceful.
Without the fighting, the scouts would have a lot less worry, at least they would not have to go deep into the grassland to check the situation from time to time.
Ren Ning watched Mrs. Zhang packing the medicine box and preparing to leave, and suddenly her heart moved.
"Mrs. Zhang, do you still remember the herb I mentioned when I first returned to the fortress three months ago? The healing effect is very significant. I call it life-chasing grass."
"Some impressions." It had been a while, Mrs. Zhang thought about it carefully and then nodded.
Ren Ning chuckled, "Now that the injury is healed, I have nothing to do. I want to go out and look for it, maybe I can find it. You see..."
Mrs. Zhang slowed down her hands, looked up at Ren Ning hesitantly, and said nothing for a while.
She understood what Ren Ning meant.
The Yankui Fortress in front of us is more like a large military camp than a city.
Such an important military place has strict discipline. Ordinary people from outside cannot enter, and ordinary soldiers inside can rarely get out.
They had to receive training day after day in the fortress.
Of course, the fortress is not that harsh, and the soldiers can still go out if they have enough reasons.
For example, going out to perform a mission or fight.
Another example is that the families of some soldiers moved to settle near the fortress. They can go out to visit their families during the Chinese New Year and festivals; they can also go out to help with farm work during spring planting and autumn harvest...
It's just that Ren Ning doesn't have any family members nearby. In addition, few of the scouts in the camp are dead, and everyone who is alive is a treasure. When there is no mission assigned by the superiors, it is almost impossible for him to figure out the fortress.
Therefore, Ren Ning set his sights on Mrs. Zhang.
"Wait for my news." Mrs. Zhang replied lightly and left with her apprentice.
A few days later, before Ren Ning could hear any news from Madam Zhang, someone else came from the scout camp.
Guanlu Ping, Starfall Legion's forward general.
In front of Gao Deming, whose face was as dark as jet, he patted Ren Ning, who was incomprehensible.
"Ren Ning, last time I saw you in the competition arena, your archery skills are as good as yours, and your temperament is neither greedy nor greedy. Our Starfall Legion welcomes such warriors the most."
He directly sent the local invitation: "Now that you have recovered, would you like to join our Starfall Legion?"
Ren Ning was stunned.
It turns out that the legend says that if you perform well in a martial arts competition on the stage, you may be favored by the superiors and rise to the top, which is not the case for the fortress.
It turned out to be real, and it really fell before my eyes.
Starfall Legion?
Ren Ning's heart moved and she subconsciously touched the ration bag on her waist.
It's just that he has been staying in the fortress recently and doesn't need to carry rations with him, so his hands are empty.
In fact, what Ren Ning was looking for was not the bag, but the short wolf fang.
The two brothers Liu Dashi and Liu Goukuan who entrusted the Wolf Fang to him when he died on the grassland came from Longyuan City in Xingluo County.
"General Guan." Ren Ning bowed his hand respectfully, "As far as Ren Ning knows, the Xingluo Army only accepts troops from Xingluo County."
"That's right." Guan Luping nodded, "The Xingluo Legion does only accept people from Xingluo County."
He had a strange expression on his face, "Why, have you, the Ren family, lived in the imperial capital for so long that you have even forgotten where your hometown is?"
Ren Ning was startled, his head rumbling.
Only then did he remember that the Ren clan in the imperial capital did come from Xingluo County. Every year during the Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival, the Taishi Mansion would send direct descendants back to their hometown in Xingluo to clean the ancestral temple and worship their ancestors.
It's just that as an illegitimate son who couldn't be included in the family tree, Ren Ning was so indifferent to this that he almost forgot about it.
"I am deeply honored by the general's favor." Ren Ning glanced at Gao Deming, who had a gloomy expression next to him. "Ren Ning has also longed for the Starfall Legion. It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and I need to think about it."
Guan Luping was not surprised, he nodded in understanding.
"Of course it's no problem. When you think about it, you can come to me at any time."
He said a few more words before turning and leaving with his bodyguard.
Gao Deming sat down, and the desk in front of him creaked.
As the saying goes, the first level of officialdom crushes people to death.
He is just the brave general of the scout camp.
He was named General because of the important location of the scout camp. In fact, Gao Deming was just a small scout instructor.
As the forward general of the legion, Guan Luping was an unknown rank higher than him. Even if Chi Guoguo poached him in front of Gao Deming, Gao Deming had to endure it.
He looked at Ren Ning and knew what his subordinate was thinking without even asking.
But Gao Deming also understood.
Although the scout unit is indispensable, it has no future, and the casualties during missions are generally too high. Every time they go out, they have a narrow escape.
Obviously there were people coming and going in the camp yesterday, but today there was a grand triumphal celebration banquet in other parts of the fortress, but there were only three or two kittens left in the scout's place.
Gao Deming stood up and patted Ren Ning on the shoulder.
"You are the most outstanding scout under my command, bar none. You are very meticulous both inside and outside, and have outstanding military exploits. If it were another soldier, with your talents, you might have risen to the level of a fake general like me."
"Since you have the opportunity to be promoted now, I won't stop you. But no matter where you are, remember to live well."
"Only when people are alive, everything else has meaning."
"Yes, General." Ren Ning saluted.
He took a deep look at Gao Deming and turned to leave.
