As soon as these people entered the lobby, people on both sides of Xuanjie suddenly became popular again. They stood up to greet each other and exchange greetings.
Listening to everyone's conversation, Lei Xingkong quickly confirmed his guess that these people were from the Bailu County Army.
The slender middle-aged man in front of him is the current number one man in the Bailu County Army—Jianzhong Colonel Wei Qi Wuxin.
Lei Xingkong took a special look at the captain. Compared to the two captains in Qingshui County, Qi Wuxin looked younger and more refined.
The strange thing is that there is nothing about Qi Wuxin in Lei Xingkong's past life memory, but since this person can reach the top spot in a county army at such an age, in addition to family background, martial arts skills are obviously indispensable.
.
After the greetings, everyone from Bailu County sat on the few empty seats at the bottom.
They are guest soldiers, and according to etiquette they should sit at the end of the table.
"Which one is Dibei Post Camp Zheng Lei Xingkong?"
Just as he sat down, Jianzhong Colonel Wei Qi Wuwei asked first.
"coming……"
Lei Xingkong knew in his heart that what was coming was going to come, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. He immediately took a step forward generously, saluted everyone in Bailu County and said: "This is Lei Xingkong. I have met the captain and all of you."
grown ups."
"So it's you!"
Everyone in Bailu County looked over, among them Qi Wuxin's gaze was the sharpest, shooting over like a substance, gouging back and forth on Lei Xingkong's body.
Lei Xingkong looked back calmly, without any dodge in his eyes.
Qi Wuxin smiled coldly and asked: "Looking at you, you don't look like a courageous person. Why did you shrink from the enemy at the Dibei outpost and didn't dare to help our army fight the barbarians?"
The accusation was immediately laid upon him with this opening. Lei Xingkong couldn't help but frown upon hearing this. Just as he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, he saw a captain-level officer walking in very quickly from behind the screen in the middle of the lobby.
The captain's clothes were different from those of the county army. He was the same man who led Niu Qinglian, Luo Zhishi and Cheng Yuqing away in Wengcheng last night.
As soon as he arrived, he asked: "Which one is the Dibei outpost camp Zheng Lei Xingkong?"
Everyone in the lobby was startled.
Lei Xingkong thought for a while and quickly responded: "That's it."
The captain looked Lei Xingkong up and down before saying, "Okay, you come with me, General Pingyi wants to see you."
Pingyi is the general title given to Marquis Jieyi when he pays homage to the general.
"Why does Marquis Jieyi want to see me in private?"
Lei Xingkong was confused and secretly glanced at Yu Hongtian, only to see that Yu Hongtian also had a trace of confusion on his face...
Not allowed to think about it, Lei Xingkong had no choice but to agree: "Here!"
The captain turned around and left, followed quickly by Lei Xingkong.
Turning around the screen and passing through the main hall, there is a three-story courtyard behind the General's Office.
Walking into the main room of the innermost courtyard, Lei Xingkong finally met Marquis Jieyi.
The man in front of me named Guan Yancheng is over middle-aged and slightly obese. However, he probably takes good care of himself because of his pampering, so his skin is fair and red, and he does not look like a soldier.
Only those eyes were bright and sparkling from time to time, making Lei Xingkong wary.
"Meet General Pingyi."
As soon as he entered the gate, Lei Xingkong immediately saluted first.
Guan Yancheng looked at Lei Xingkong and said, "You mean Lei Xingkong? Although I have never met you, I have heard people mention you many times during this period."
He didn't know whether the other party's words meant praise or disparagement. Lei Xingkong didn't know how to respond, so he could only remain silent.
"Tell me about what happened at Dibei Post... Well, last night I saw people from Yingyuan, Yingchun and Yingyang Battalions. I heard that you rescued them. Okay, you will tell these things
Tell me too."
Lei Xingkong gathered his thoughts for a while, and without hesitation, he immediately spoke and told everything about it...
He did not exaggerate in the slightest when describing the process, and even deliberately concealed his role in several battles at key points.
Moreover, Lei Xingkong always spoke in a straightforward manner, without any ups and downs, and without any vividness.
After hearing this, Guan Yancheng nodded and said: "So, you really have a good sword, otherwise you wouldn't be able to fight with that royal barbarian general for a long time."
Lei Xingkong was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he had some bad premonitions in his heart.
Guan Yancheng said again: "Bring your sword up and let me have a look."
How direct!
If you are aloof, you don’t have to worry about anything and don’t hide anything?
Lei Xingkong could already guess what the bad premonition in his heart might be, but then he thought about it and secretly doubted it: He never brags in front of others, how could the Marquis in front of him know about Tianji?
But now is not the time to think too much, Lei Xingkong quickly took off Tianji from his waist, handed it to him respectfully, and at the same time pointed out: "This is a family heirloom sword of a certain person, it is extremely sharp, please look at it carefully.
"
Guan Yancheng took the knife and pulled it out of its sheath.
"Qiang..."
The blade let out a clear groan, and then the cold air from it spread out, filling the room with chills.
"Good knife!"
Guan Yancheng shuddered first, and then praised loudly.
Looking carefully along the lines of the blade, Guan Yancheng shivered at least five or six times, but he refused to let go at all, and looked at it again and again.
Lei Xingkong had a calm expression on his face, waiting silently and calmly, but he was asking the little god in his heart: "If he dares to use force, should I kill him with a knife on the spot, or should I endure it first and find an opportunity later?"
The little god responded: "If you kill him now, what will your mother do?"
Lei Xingkong suddenly thought of his mother working hard at home, and immediately gave up the idea of killing her on the spot.
According to the military regulations of the Yong Kingdom, if a soldier commits murder, the crime is tantamount to treason, and immediate family members must be implicated.
"First settle my mother, and then find an opportunity to kill him and get the knife back!"
After making up his mind, Lei Xingkong thought again: "But Tianqi is too sharp. Let alone fighting, even if he shines in front of others casually, he can't conceal his sharpness. If this continues, even if he can escape this time
, but after all, you will still provoke other people!"
After thinking for a while, Lei Xingkong asked the little god again: "Little god, is there any way you can make this knife look less conspicuous?"
"Make it look inconspicuous..."
The little god pondered for a while and then said: "There are several ways. The best one is to re-forge the knife. Not only can it be made sharper, but also certain materials can be added during the forging process.
It makes it look unattractive, similar to an ordinary saber."
Lei Xingkong's eyes lit up: "What should we do?"
The little god poured cold water on him and said, "It's a pity that with your current situation... well, you can't do it."
Lei Xingkong was stunned: "Why?"
The little god asked directly: "Do you know about forging?"
"I..." Lei Xingkong thought for a while, then reluctantly said: "I used to work in the blacksmith shop and helped the master blacksmith, so I have a rough understanding of it!"
"cut!"
The little god said unceremoniously: "If you want to forge this sword well, your effort is far from enough... Don't say I didn't remind you, this matter is not a joke. If you don't do it right, it will destroy the sword."
.”
"..."
When the little god said this, Lei Xingkong was discouraged on the spot.
Tianji is not only a weapon passed down to him by his father, but also a memory that his father left for his mother, Bai Mulan. He would rather the sword cause trouble for him than take the risk of destroying it.
