Chapter 10 The Black Sheep

Chapter 10 The Black Sheep
The military tent was filled with the smell of blood. Lu Yunyi looked at Wu Fuliu with confusion in his eyes.

This man killed ten levels in the formation, so logically he should be extremely brave, so how could he end up like this?

Lu Yunyi looked at his chest, and saw dark red blood seeping out from under the linen.
Judging from his painful expression, several bones must have been broken.

He had experienced this feeling when he first joined the army. It was so uncomfortable that he couldn't even turn over.

Wu Fuliu smiled bitterly, a hint of self-mockery flashed in his eyes, and shook his head:

"It was all due to my negligence that this happened. I can't blame anyone else."

But Lu Yunyi frowned and stared at him, causing Wu Fuliu to avoid his gaze.
"you are lying!"

Lu Yunyi shouted coldly, his voice was icy, and immediately attracted the attention of several wounded soldiers around him.
"No subordinates have lied."

Wu Fuliu's eyes flashed with panic, and he quickly shook his head.

But this action pulled the wound, and severe pain swept through the whole body.

It made him frown and take a breath.

"Just now on the battlefield, I reminded you not to slack off.

You can behead a level 10 person, so you must have some talent. How could you be so careless? Tell me the truth, what's the secret?"

Lu Yunyi was not a person who would go into details, but beheading a level 10 person was indeed a little unbelievable.
He wanted to see whether Wu Fuliu was worthy of the title or whether those heads were stolen.

The military system is not yet completely perfect, and only the heads of the soldiers are counted. There are rumors in the army.

It is better to pick up more than to kill more, and it is better to rob more than to pick up more. This is the disadvantage of the head-capital system, which makes it impossible to trace the source.

If Wu Fuliu picked up the head of the fallen soldier, it would be fine if he was not discovered.
Now that we have discovered it, we naturally have to investigate further!
He has just taken office and has fifty more subordinates. If he doesn't make an example of them, it will be difficult to lead this team.

Lu Yunyi stared at Wu Fuliu, but he avoided his gaze, as if he had something to hide.

At this moment, a voice came from behind them, with long-suppressed anger.
"Sir, someone is trying to frame us!"

Lu Yunyi's face suddenly darkened, and he turned around to look.

It was a soldier whose left forearm had been chopped off.

At this moment, his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Lu Yunyi intently, as if he had a deep hatred!
Wu Fuliu's face changed: "Xiao Shunzi, stop talking nonsense. It was our negligence!"

Lu Yunyi ignored him and pushed him down on the bed. He stood up and came to the side of Xiao Shunzi.
Without speaking, he first took up his left arm and looked at it.

Seeing a hemp rope tightly tied around his arm, he nodded slightly.

"It was handled fairly well. Although the forearm is missing, it can still do some military work."

At present, the Ming Dynasty does not have any good arrangements for the disabled in the army.

The limited positions in the army were also occupied by the trusted wounded soldiers of the gentlemen, in order to win over the hearts of the people.

Given Xiao Shunzi's situation, if Lu Yunyi didn't speak up, he would probably have no choice but to return to the garrison to farm and be bullied.

As expected, Xiao Shunzi's eyes widened slightly when he heard this, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes:

"Sir, is it really possible?"

"Nonsense, you were injured while following me, so I will naturally take care of the follow-up arrangements.

Anyway, don't worry, I will definitely let you find a job in the army so you won't starve."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Xiao Shunzi's eyes were suddenly full of sparkle.

A small person like him could only farm when he returned to Gyeongju.
But because of a word from a great man, his second half of life changed.

"Okay, now you can tell me."

Lu Yunyi touched his head. The child looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although his skin was dark, he still looked childish and a little pitiful.

Xiao Shunzi sniffed and nodded: "Please feel free to ask me anything you want, I will tell you everything I know."

"Okay, since you are under Wu Fuliu's command, tell me what happened at that time."

There was a flash of hatred in Xiao Shunzi's eyes, as well as a hint of deep-hidden resentment, while Wu Fuliu gently closed his eyes and sighed.

Then I heard Xiao Shunzi say:
"Sir, we are here to follow you to clean up the outer Yuan people.

When you were fighting that strong man, I was right beside you. People say you are very skilled in fighting, and now I have seen it for myself."

"Without further ado!"

Xiao Shunzi shrank his neck and said quickly:

"At that time, Brother Wu led ten of us to search tent by tent. At first, the battle went smoothly. Although we gained something, it was not much."

A trace of fear flashed in Xiao Shunzi's eyes, and he paused and said:
"Later, when we found the fifth tent, there were four Yuan people inside.
According to Brother Wu's strength, he should be able to take the credit without suffering any damage.

But, but, at this moment, a team of ten people led more than ten Yuan people and rushed towards us.

I saw them at that time, and I shouted at them to drive them away, but they ignored me and still drove the Yuan people over.
In fact, if we fight together, it will be fine, and it can be easily resolved.

But those people just watched from the side, watching the Yuan people gather together, watching the Yuan people surround us, watching them fight with us."

Xiao Shunzi's voice suddenly dropped:

"I am weak and have poor fighting skills, which has hindered my comrades.
Brother Wu is still the best, he killed many people, but two fists are still no match for four hands."

Xiao Shunzi's breathing suddenly became rapid, and even Wu Fuliu beside him began to breathe rapidly, followed by groans of pain.

"And those people watched the death without helping, and just stood by and watched coldly,
Finally, they came to rob the seriously injured Yuan people, and took away several heads. "

"Why don't you report to your superiors?" Lu Yunyi's eyes were cold and his voice revealed murderous intent.

"We are new recruits and don't know you, sir.

They said they have been following you for a long time, and even if they report it to you, it will be useless. If you want to keep things quiet, just shut up."

As he spoke, Xiao Shunzi's face turned red, his face was full of grievance, and tears fell one by one:

"Brother Wu is also injured and I am disabled. We are all injured, so..."

"So you plan to keep quiet?" Lu Yunyi's voice was cold, his brows furrowed.

"Sir, this is my decision. It has nothing to do with Xiao Shunzi."

Wu Fuliu on the side suddenly opened his eyes. The gentleness just now was gone, and his dark face was filled with murderous intent!
Seeing him like this, Lu Yunyi nodded. This kind of momentum is required to kill a person of level ten.

"You should have a good rest. The army has its own rules. Since you are under my command, you must abide by the rules. Don't worry."

Lu Yunyi patted Xiao Shunzi on the head and comforted him.

Then he stood up, walked to Wu Fuliu's side, and looked down at him:
"I don't know who you were before, and I don't know what achievements you have made, but I think you are not a stupid person. They are not standing idly by or watching someone die, but driving a tiger to devour a wolf and killing someone with a borrowed knife!"

Lu Yunyi's voice was icy cold, and it echoed in the military tent, causing several soldiers present to feel a chill in their hearts and chills down their spines.

"Since you have joined the army, we are comrades. What does this behavior mean? Tell me."

Wu Fuliu was lying on the bed and could feel the fierce murderous intent from the new master, which was even stronger than his own!
He just felt his throat dry, and a glimmer of hope inexplicably surged in his heart. He spoke hoarsely:
"They are so heartless that they slaughter their fellow soldiers!"

"Since you knew, why did you keep silent? Where did the vigor and vitality of our Ming army that swept across the world go?"

"Sir, we are all small people. We just want to join the army to earn some money and get married. It's better to have less trouble than more. I am a coward."

Wu Fuliu felt a little embarrassed. Although he had beheaded ten people, he still did such a cowardly thing.

"Everyone has a desire to protect themselves. You did nothing wrong. But you made a big mistake by not reporting the situation.

If you allow such people to join the army, I am afraid that they will all be dead before I lead you to clear the way and find Yuan Ting."

Lu Yunyi stood up and walked in front of Xiao Shunzi: "Can you still stand up? Follow me to identify the murderer!"

"Yes!" Although Xiao Shunzi felt dizzy and his face turned pale due to blood loss, he still struggled to stand up.

Seeing the shaky appearance, Lu Yunyi sighed and held him up.

"Let's go."

Two quarters of an hour later, all the soldiers were gathered at the entrance of the col.

There are tents in front and mountains behind, so the cold wind is slightly weaker and our subordinates will not get cold.

Lu Yunyi thought to himself that he was very good to these soldiers, as they were the foundation of his future career.

That's why he was so angry.
Although not all of your subordinates may be good people, there cannot be any black sheep like this!
At this moment, less than a hundred soldiers gathered here, looking at each other, wondering why the master called them here!

But when they saw the pale-faced young man standing next to him, several soldiers looked puzzled.

Lu Yunyi didn't waste any time, but went straight to the point, pointing at the young man beside him and said loudly:

"His name is Xiao Shunzi, he should be quite young. Their small flag has made a lot of gains, and the flag officer even beheaded ten people!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers cried out in surprise.
Only they know how difficult it is to kill someone on the battlefield.

Not only are they trying their best, the enemy is also trying their best. It is very difficult to kill them.

He beheaded ten people, and he is undoubtedly a brave warrior in the army.

Lu Yunyi was very satisfied with the soldiers' performance. He nodded slightly, his face turning grim:
"But such a brave soldier was sure that he was being plotted against, and was using a knife to kill someone.
Wu Fuliu is now lying in the military tent, with many broken bones, and it is still unknown whether he can survive."

As soon as he finished speaking, noisy and chaotic words suddenly enveloped the entire queue. Almost all the soldiers looked at each other with a changed expression.

"Xiao Shunzi, tell me everything you just told me."

Xiao Shunzi's face turned pale, but he still stood up.
Seeing the coldness and seriousness in Shangguan's eyes, he inexplicably felt that he had become much braver.

So he slowly told the story, this time in more detail.
Because everyone present was a soldier, they might not be smart, but they could still distinguish right from wrong in what happened on the battlefield.

Gradually, a solemn atmosphere spread throughout the entire team, and the soldiers frowned.
If someone had a worse temper, he would have spat at me long ago.

He looked at the soldier, trying to find out who stabbed him in the back.

Soldiers can be bullied, have their food and wages withheld, and be ordered around by their superiors, but the only thing they cannot accept is being stabbed in the back on the battlefield!

This is taboo!

"Kid, who is he? I, the general flag Liu Heiying, will definitely kill him to avenge you."

A curse was heard, and Xiao Shunzi looked at him gratefully.
He knew this man; he was an old subordinate of Shangguan's. The person being fought today was carrying out the most dangerous military mission.

Xiao Shunzi glanced at Lu Yunyi, and after getting his affirmative nod, the timid look in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by determination!

He took a deep breath and pointed to the side of another general Qian Hong.

He was a tall and thin young man with fair skin, a stern face and a bit of viciousness.

"It was him. He was the one who drove those Yuan people here."

Lu Yunyi narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.

How could this person be his old subordinate? He was clearly Yan San's distant nephew.
Before they set out again, Yan San told him that his nephew did not get along well with his colleagues in the Zuo Qianhu Office, so he was transferred here and should be taken good care of!

He didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was no big deal.
But now it seems that there must be some other hidden reason behind the disagreement among colleagues.

Before he could react, Qian Hong, who was standing beside him, exclaimed: "Yan Wujian, it's you!"

The surname is Yan? Many soldiers present were shocked and immediately knew who it was.
They have always speculated that this person has some relationship with Lord Yan, after all, there are too few people with the surname Yan.

But Qian Hong couldn't care less, as everyone's attention was focused on this.

It is a good opportunity to stand out and also a good opportunity to be noticed by the new superior!
Liu Heiying got the credit for being the first, which made him extremely envious.

"Fuck it, I've heard that you're not a clean person, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Qian Hong cursed again, and then waved his hand heavily:

"Tie him up for me! It's better to kill this villain."

The soldiers behind him had received orders from their superiors and could no longer hold back. They rushed forward and pinned him to the ground, along with ten of his subordinates.

"Let me go, let me go!!"

Strangely, Yan Wujian did not struggle. He just shouted twice symbolically and stared at Lu Yunyi with a hint of sarcasm at the corners of his mouth.

"You know who I am." She even lip-synced arrogantly, making Lu Yunyi's face even gloomier.
This stupid second generation, no wonder he is just a small flag now!

Lu Yunyi remained silent the entire time, but quietly watched as some soldiers punched and kicked them, causing them to feel pain.

Yan Wujian was a little surprised. Is this man blind?
As he felt the punches and kicks on his body getting heavier, his face turned paler and he couldn't help but speak:
"Your Excellency is wronged. All the gains we made were obtained through hard fighting. We have never done such a thing to harm our comrades!"

"You are lying, you are the ones who brought people here!" Xiao Shunzi retorted loudly from the side.

"What do you know, little kid? If it weren't for our combined efforts, how could you have killed those Yuan people?

Moreover, if my troops had not exerted pressure from outside to block their retreat, how could you have killed people?"

"You are trying to steal our credit!" Xiao Shunzi was a little anxious, his face flushed red.

"Stop talking nonsense. Qianhu Yan San is my cousin. What merits do I need to steal? It's obviously you who are jealous and put the blame on me!!"

The soldiers around were all startled, their hands and feet stopped in mid-fall, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
Everyone turned their eyes to the young man standing at the top.
