After walking out of the rock gap, the strong wind blew, and Lei Xingkong suddenly felt refreshed.
The senses seem to slowly extend outward with the wind, and all the subtle movements within a hundred meters around are clear to the mind.
"After refining these living souls, it seems that the souls have really become stronger."
After refining the souls of those little beasts, the inner energy obtained was not much, which was not comparable to the beast poison, but it benefited Lei Xingkong a lot in terms of souls.
He looked up at the sky and saw that it was almost dusk. Lei Xingkong couldn't help but scream inwardly. The military order to go out on patrol today had not been completed yet. He hurriedly trotted towards the boundary monument according to the map.
After passing through Demon Mountain, we finally found the boundary monument at the northwest corner of a Gobi hill.
The boundary monument is as tall as a person, with the four characters "Yongzhen Guozuo" written in large letters on it.
"This is the handwriting of the founding emperor of Dayong!"
Lei Xingkong carefully looked at the words on the boundary monument, and felt that the words were written with majestic force. Every stroke and every stroke seemed to have traces of swords, guns and halberds, which were extremely sharp.
Quickly take out the original stone from the small leather bag, insert it into the groove above the stone tablet, and replace the original one. This time the mission is considered complete.
After doing all this, Lei Xingkong didn't dare to delay and trotted back along the same route.
On the way back, we also passed through Demon Mountain, but this time there was no danger. It seemed that night in Demon Mountain was much safer than during the day.
When we returned to Dibei Post, it was already a bright moon in the sky.
"Little boy, you are finally back!"
When I walked into the gate of the outpost, I saw the old team leader first. When he saw Lei Xingkong coming back, he asked excitedly: "You're not dead? Are you really not dead? I thought you little kid died in Demon Mountain."
It's over... Hey... You're injured on your face... Where else are you injured? Why are you covered in blood... It's okay..."
What are you talking about? If I were dead, would I still be standing in front of you alive?
Lei Xingkong curled his lips helplessly, smiled and did not answer.
Turning around and looking to the other side, he saw the new recruits there too.
When they saw Lei Xingkong coming back, they all had a smile on their faces.
Lei Xingkong knew full well that the old team leader and these new recruits must have been waiting for him, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
After a few nagging questions, the old corps commander remembered that Lei Xingkong had not handed over the military orders yet, and quickly urged: "Go, hurry up and hand over the orders to Han Juncheng, he is in the lobby now."
"I'll go immediately!"
This was business, Lei Xingkong didn't dare to delay, and walked quickly towards the lobby.
The so-called handing over the military order means handing over the replaced Bichen rough stone to prove that this patrol mission has been completed.
In the lobby, almost all the veterans of the post were present.
Han Juncheng sat at a table alone and ate his meal slowly and unhurriedly.
As soon as Lei Xingkong entered the lobby, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.
He, a new recruit, is now the most watched person in the entire outpost.
Everyone knows that he killed and injured others yesterday.
Everyone knows that he was fined to patrol Demon Mountain every day for a month.
Everyone is wondering whether he will come back alive.
At this time, when they saw Lei Xingkong walking into the lobby, everyone suddenly knew one thing: this new recruit came back alive from the Demon Mountain. You must know that it was the Demon Mountain, a place where countless people died at the outpost.
, but there is nothing that can be done about this new recruit.
"Master Jun Cheng, I'm here to give you the order!"
Lei Xingkong walked up to Han Juncheng, bowed with clasped fists respectfully, and then presented the original stone to him.
A gloomy look flashed across Han Juncheng's eyes. He picked up the Bichen rough stone and took a look at it, then put it down without speaking immediately.
After waiting for a while, he said: "You did hand in the military order, but it was a little late."
"..."
Lei Xingkong didn't say a word. His delivery time was set before sunset, and he was really late coming back today.
Han Juncheng continued to say in a gloomy tone: "I am late in delivering the order, so I have to punish you. Are you convinced?"
"I'm convinced!"
Although the man surnamed Han meant to find fault, at this time Lei Xingkong could only respond in this way.
"good!"
Han Juncheng smiled coldly, and then said: "Then I will punish you to be locked in an underground water prison tonight, and you will not be released until dawn tomorrow."
"ah?"
Before Lei Xingkong could react, the old battalion commander behind him let out a soft cry, and then heard him speak for Lei Xingkong: "Master Jun Cheng, this child just came to the military camp yesterday, and today he went out on patrol. Many
He was unfamiliar with the matter, and this time he was a little late in delivering the order, so he asked the military chief to forgive him and let him go."
Han Juncheng turned around, glanced at the old corps commander coldly, and said: "Old man Qiu, whether you are the Juncheng or I am the Juncheng in the camp now, are you trying to disobey orders?"
The old corpsman raised his brows, leaned over quickly and said, "I don't dare to do this because of my humble position."
Han Juncheng snorted coldly: "I'm sorry you don't dare!"
On the other side, among the old soldiers, one person stood out from the crowd at this time, it was Xie Jin.
He cupped his fists to Prime Minister Han Jun and begged for mercy: "Master Jun Cheng, the yin energy in that underground water prison was too strong at night. Lei Xingkong went out on patrol today and was already covered in injuries. If he was imprisoned in it, he might not be able to withstand it.
Besides, he has to go to Qingniugang tomorrow, so please give him a lighter sentence!"
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately paid attention to Lei Xingkong's appearance.
There is a new scar on his face, which is shocking. You can imagine how dangerous this scar is. It seems that it is only a hair away from cutting off half of his entire face.
His body and hair were stained with blood everywhere and covered with dust, black and yellow. Just looking at these was enough for people to understand how he survived in that demonic mountain.
"Although this guy is just a new recruit, he is really a tough guy!"
In an instant, such an idea came to the minds of the veterans.
The Dayong Army advocates bravery. Although the Dibei outpost is a bit remote, it is not without such a culture. It's just that these veterans walk around the world of life and death one by one on weekdays and never pay attention to other people. This is
After seeing what Lei Xingkong did for two days in a row, they couldn't help but feel a little recognition of Lei Xingkong in their hearts.
Han Juncheng had made up his mind to kill Lei Xingkong, so he slammed the table and shouted: "Bold!"
Standing up from his position, he stared at Xie Jin: "The iron laws of military law, how can we tolerate mercy outside the law? If in the future everyone is late in submitting military orders, but will be given a lighter sentence, then what is the use of military law?
"
After a slight pause, he pointed at the old team leader and said: "Old man Qiu, I order you to immediately lock Lei Xingkong into an underground water prison, and he will not be released until sunrise tomorrow."
The old team leader hesitated for a moment, then finally responded helplessly: "Here!"
He came over and patted Lei Xingkong on the shoulder, pulled him and walked out.
Lei Xingkong didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
In the end, he just gave the Han Army Prime Minister a fist, nodded to Xie Jin to express his gratitude, and then turned around and followed the old team leader out.
