Chapter 455: It’s hard to pass, but it’s hard to pass

The sun rose, the heat spread, and the military camp remained where it was.

Unlike the simplicity of the past, the military camp at this moment was quietly permeated by a subtle change.

The outer defenses and fences were repaired, the military tents were brand new, the uneven ground was filled, and the charred areas left by the fire were all leveled.

Even beyond the many camps, you can see several bamboo buildings in the deepest part.
Even from a distance, you can see the brand new bamboo shining with warm luster in the sun, and each bamboo joint is clean and evenly distributed.

When Lu Yunyi saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He remembered that when he first came to the Puzikou City Camp, he went to the residence of Wang Bi, Marquis of Dingyuan, and lived in this kind of bamboo house.

Thinking of the achievements Lenovo had made this year, Lu Yunyi smiled knowingly.
As your status improves, some welfare benefits also come along, which is great!
Walking into the camp, the noise and jubilation of last night seemed to linger in the air.
After the celebration banquet, the mess was cleaned up in an orderly manner by the soldiers. The leftovers and broken wine jars were picked up.

Only the lingering scent of wine remained in the air.

Looking around, the soldiers were lazily lying in front of the military tent, basking in the sun, with a hangover look on their faces.

Seeing him coming, countless soldiers stood up swiftly.

Calling "General" and "Sir" again and again.

This made the dozen or so second-generation rich people following behind extremely envious, and they felt that a real man should be like this!
In fact, they have seen their fathers' majestic appearance.
But the age gap didn't make them feel much, or even a gap.

He took it for granted that when he reached that age, he would be able to achieve such success.

But now, a young man about their age appeared before them.
His power is countless times greater than theirs.
Especially when the soldiers showed respect on their faces and saluted Lu Yunyi, their envy reached its peak and their eyes became more and more fiery.

At this moment, they suddenly felt that their previous competitiveness was too childish and that men should have rights!

As he went deeper, Lu Yunyi saw Xu Zengshou busying himself with the blueprints.

In front of him was a huge square table with several soldiers standing around it, fiddling with their muskets.

"Zi Gong, you're here so early?"

Xu Zengshou was concentrating on his studies, but when he heard the voice, he stood up straight:
"grown ups!"

"I have some new ideas, so I can't wait to come to the military camp!"

Lu Yunyi nodded, looking satisfied.

The trial of the three-three system made everyone realize that
The musket could only fire once at a time, which was a huge obstacle to their advance and combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the first priority and direction of the front army scout department is to increase the firing rate and capacity of the muskets.

Lu Yunyi looked at the many parts and tools on the table and suddenly felt overwhelmed.
He is still drunk and can't bear to see these things.

He patted Xu Zengshou on the shoulder and pointed to the group of second-generation rich people wearing white linings in the back:
"These are all new soldiers. They will be incorporated into the musketeers after a few days of training. You should take good care of them and don't be polite to them."

Xu Zengshou tilted his head and looked around. Wow! They were all familiar faces!

"Yes! Your lord!"

Lu Yunyi nodded and led his men away.

Soon, there was a wave of friendly greetings and concerns coming from behind, but it soon turned into wailing.

After many twists and turns, Lu Yunyi arrived at the Central Army Camp.
After walking in, he saw Liu Heiying, who was buried in a pile of documents, with dishevelled hair and dirty face. There was a slight smell of alcohol in the military tent.

"You're up so early? Did you drink again last night?"

As Lu Yunyi spoke, he pulled up the curtains of the military tent to ventilate it.

Seeing him coming, Liu Heiying seemed to be relieved, leaning back and slumping in the chair:

"I drank until almost dawn. I was so tired. I should have gone home earlier."

"Hahaha, you were the one who said you didn't drink enough."

Lu Yunyi walked in laughing, picked up the palm-leaf fan on the table and fanned himself vigorously.

Liu Heiying shook his head, stood up, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it down with a gulp.

"What's going on with this camp? Is it being renovated?" Lu Yunyi asked.

Liu Heiying looked strange and sat down on a chair beside the military tent:

"Brother Yun'er, this is from Lu Chenxiu, the defender of Puzikou City.
I don't know what he wants to do, but he probably wants to go to war and hopes Brother Yuner will take him with him."

"He."

Lu Yunyi's face looked strange. No wonder Lu Chan was so friendly when they first entered the city.

Liu Heiying seemed to remember something, stood up, took a document from the table and handed it over:

"Brother Yun'er, according to His Majesty's decree, Lin Shian's career as an official is over."

Lu Yunyi opened it and glanced at it before throwing the document back on the table:

“The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and this is not the way to protect yourself.”

Lu Yunyi shook his head. Although he had some conflicts and unpleasantness with Lin Shian,
However, in the Dingbian Defense War, Heyangwei also made great contributions and made outstanding achievements.
Now that his chief officer had ended up like this, he felt a little sad.

At this time, a figure appeared at the door. It was Zou Jing, a thin man with a calm face.

"Sir, are you looking for me?"

Lu Yunyi looked over, and the sigh on his face disappeared in an instant, and turned into a solemn expression. He waved his hand:
"You've come just in time. There's something I need you to come and see."

Soon, Lu Yunyi took out the letter he received yesterday and the love letter he received last year.

Put it on the table, and then look at Zou Jing:

"Come and see if these two letters were written by the same person."

Zou Jing didn't say anything, just nodded and sat down, took out a magnifying glass from the toolbox and looked at it carefully.

Liu Heiying stood behind Zou Jing, looking at the handwriting on the letter with a strange look on his face:
"Brother Yun'er, where did this letter come from?"

"Deng Lingyun gave it to me yesterday. She said she copied it from her father's desk. I want to confirm whether this letter is real or not."

"Are you doing this again?"

Liu Heiying's eyes were sharp and his dark face exuded a murderous intent.

Lu Yunyi pressed his hand: "This may not be fake, let's wait and see."

"So there are ghosts around us?"

Lu Yunyi nodded, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over:

"These are the people I listed as suspicious, come and take a look."

Liu Heiying took the paper and scanned it, memorizing the names of these people in his mind in an instant.

Then I began to recall these people's every move, as well as some strange and unreasonable things.

That's how it is with spies. If you don't suspect a person, everything he does seems reasonable.

But once the seed of doubt is planted, if you look at it with a critical eye, you will find something wrong in an instant.

On the table, Zou Jing buried his face in two pieces of paper.
He moved the magnifying glass in his hand a little bit, and quickly read the text.
Based on his experience, the two letters were written by the same person.

But to be on the safe side, he read it carefully three times, reading every word.

Finally, in the gloomy atmosphere, Zou Jing slowly raised his head and said, "Sir, these two letters were written by the same person.
The only difference is that the handwriting in the first letter is smooth and relaxed.
The handwriting of the second letter was a bit sloppy and hasty, and the writer must have been in a hurry at the time. "

"You can even see this?" Lu Yunyi was a little shocked.

Zou Jing stood up and handed over two letters:

“Sir, when people are anxious, they often find it difficult to control the strength due to nervousness, resulting in uneven handwriting.

Although this letter has only more than a hundred words, there are more than ten places where the characters suddenly become larger, more than twenty places where the strokes are connected, and more than ten places where the strokes are disconnected.

I can conclude that the latter letter must have been written in an anxious and nervous state, and he was even looking around. "

Liu Heiying looked at Zou Jing and said strangely:
"It's really unfair for you to be a military disciplinarian."

Zou Jing's expression remained unchanged, without even a smile:
"My Lord, military discipline is the backbone of an army.

No matter where mistakes are made, military discipline must be maintained. I have done a great job as a military discipline officer."

Hearing what he said, Lu Yunyi felt a little embarrassed. He spoke in a gentle voice:
"Zou Jing, the war is over, don't be so harsh on the way back.
Some soldiers relaxed their minds and made mistakes.
You can give him a chance, and punish him severely next time he does it again."

Zou Jing ignored him and spoke coldly:
"When laws are established, they must be enforced when violations occur; when orders are issued, they must be carried out without hesitation.

My Lord, if political laws are like this, military laws should be even stricter!"

Lu Yunyi took a breath and scratched his head hard, feeling his eyebrows throbbing wildly:

"Zou Jing, the law is not merciful but it also has compassion. It is only natural to be strict when going to war.

Now the battle is over, and the brothers are tired.
Some things can just be let go by turning a blind eye, so why bother taking them so seriously? "

"Sir, military law has been disseminated by various military discipline officers.

All the small flag officers should conduct self-inspection, and many soldiers in the army should know the consequences of violating military discipline.

They break the law knowingly, and it is you, the Lord, who always protects them.

Let them take it for granted and push it further. If this continues for a long time, military discipline will be damaged and combat effectiveness will be weakened."

Lu Yunyi narrowed his eyes slightly and panted heavily, "Zou Jing, why are you so stubborn? How about this, half, half of the punishment will be exempted!"

Zou Jing's expression remained calm:

"Sir, you asked me to be the military discipline officer because you saw in me my stubbornness.

You also promised me that you would not interfere with the decision of the military discipline officer."

"Zou Jing! I'm going to discuss this with you in a friendly manner. Can't we both take a step back and that be all?"

"My Lord, I am sorry that I cannot obey your order."

Zou Jing's expression didn't even change at all, he still looked like a zombie.

Lu Yunyi was furious and felt his head buzzing.

At this time, Liu Heiying saw that the atmosphere was tense, and he quickly waved his hands and mouthed:
"Go quickly, go quickly."

After seeing this, Zou Jing bowed his hands:
"Sir, punishments should not be given to the powerful, rewards should not be given to the close, and military law should be fair and impartial."

"Fuck off!"

Zou Jing said "I'm leaving" and quickly left the military tent.

Lu Yunyi stared at his back with wide eyes, sat down panting, and gritted his teeth:
"This bastard, he just showed off after reading a few books!!"

Liu Heiying sighed, picked up the teacup on the table and walked over:

"Brother Yun'er, he was like this in school.
Otherwise, how could I be chosen by the gentleman to be the discipline committee member!

By the way, this name was given by you, Brother Yun'er."

Lu Yunyi took the teacup and drank it all. He felt that the alcohol from last night was taking effect again, making him dizzy.
"How is it? Who on the list is worth noting?"

Liu Heiying handed over the list: "Brother Yun'er, there are three people who deserve the most attention."

[Uncle He, Xiaohong, Granny Wan]
Looking at the three names that were checked off, Lu Yunyi's face became solemn. They were all important people in the Yunnan Mansion.

Uncle He is the housekeeper, Xiaohong is the personal maid, and Granny Wan is the manager of the kitchen.

"Brother Yun'er, only these three people know the itinerary in such detail." Liu Heiying added.

"Who do you think is most likely among the three?"

Liu Heiying looked serious. He took a step forward and ticked off the name of "Uncle He".

housekeeper?

"Tell me the reason." Lu Yunyi frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Brother Yun'er, the reason is very simple. Uncle He is an old man in Lord Mu's mansion."

As the words fell, a gleam of light flashed in Lu Yunyi's lowered eyes, and he slowly raised his head:

"What do you mean?"

Liu Heiying walked closer and lowered his voice to the lowest level:
“Brother Yun’er, the Jinyiwei in Yunnan will not only monitor the remnants of the previous dynasty, but also have a more important purpose, which is to keep an eye on Lord Mu.

This was demonstrated in the Hu Weiyong case.

At that time, Hu Weiyong's coachman, butler and even personal maid were all Jinyiwei.

From this we can conclude that the more powerful a person is, the more Jinyiwei will be around him. "

Lu Yunyi also knew this. In the Northern Expedition Army,
Jiang Li often appeared in the general's tent, which might be a form of surveillance.

Lu Yunyi nodded:
"I understand. Wait until they arrive in the capital and investigate thoroughly."

Speaking of this, Lu Yunyi's face was somewhat puzzled:
"Even if they are really the Royal Guards, we should not take any action.

By creating controllable opposition and keeping them by your side, you may be able to pass on some false information to Mao Xiang at a critical moment. "

Liu Heiying nodded: "I understand, Brother Yun'er."

Then he couldn't help laughing and wiped his face:
"When I was with Hua Jieyu a few days ago, I told her about the hardships and grievances we suffered during the war.

She asked me about the killing of prisoners, and I told her a little bit. In short, it was all grievance, and it was done out of necessity for the sake of the court."

Lu Yunyi was stunned: "She believed it?"

Liu Heiying thought about it and nodded heavily:

"She must have believed it, since she was crying her eyes out.

He also gave me the money he had saved over the years and asked me to take it to the capital to settle the matter."

"Did you take it?"

"It would be a waste if you don't take it."

Lu Yunyi opened his mouth slightly and reminded:
"Don't be fooled. Maybe she is here with a mission."

Liu Heiying smiled, his face full of honesty:

"The mission is there, and the friendship is there.
I know women of this age best. If you use some tricks, they will be completely devoted to you.
She is a member of the Imperial Guard, but she is more of a woman.”

Lu Yunyi pursed his lips, somewhat speechless, and finally he could only sigh:

"Black Hawk, you do have some talent.

I used to be a little skeptical about the idea that Emperor Gaozu of Han ruled the country from one county.

But now I believe it a little bit. I didn't expect that a small city like Gyeongju,
You two are such a pair, one is stubborn and the other is a scumbag."

After a while, Lu Yunyi came over and asked:

"Since you understand women so well, tell me what Deng Lingyun is thinking?

Is she sincere or is she on a mission?"

"Brother Yun'er, Deng Lingyun is just a little girl, how can I know what she is thinking?"

"Don't you understand women?"

"I understand older women. They are both rational and confused. Younger women are just confused and hard to figure out."

However, Liu Heiying changed the subject and said something meaningful:

"However, the more this happens, the more impulsive I become. Perhaps I am really betraying myself.

Lu Yunyi returned to his original seat and sat down, blinking his eyes back and forth.

"Okay, go to the fruit shop more often in the future, interact more with the woman who disguised herself as a man yesterday, and get more information from her."

Liu Heiying nodded repeatedly!
Lu Yunyi continued: "All the servants of Xinchen Commercial Bank in the family should be thoroughly investigated.
If possible, find out more about the Xinchen Trading Company and find out who is behind them.

Don’t let the enemy rush to our home while we are still kept in the dark.”

"Don't worry, Brother Yun'er, we've already started investigating.
By the way, the Governor's Office asked us to submit a document about the "Three-Three System", saying that it was a letter from the Duke of Ying, asking the Governor's Office to study it more."

"So fast?"

Lu Yunyi was a little surprised, but soon felt relieved.

For those dukes, power and money can no longer cause any ripples in their hearts. Perhaps only new military tactics can arouse their interest.

"Send the summary from the past few days, and also send the process flow of the bamboo tube filling method."

"Got it, Brother Yun'er."

Liu Heiying curled his lips, feeling a little unhappy, and muttered:

"This Governor's Office has been asking us for this and that all day long, but has not given us any rewards. I always feel that we have suffered a great loss."

Lu Yunyi didn't care and waved his hand:
"Don't worry about it. We have so many generals in the Ming Dynasty, but only a few dukes are known by name.

Although these things now do not bring any rewards, the benefits are yet to come.

As the things were spread out one by one, our names were also spread to various garrisons and provinces of the Ming Dynasty.
By then we will be a household name, and if we have made enough contributions,
When the two are combined, fame and popularity will rise in a spiral.

Although reputation is useless in daily life, it is very useful when it comes to life and death.
Maybe it can save lives. In short, we can't relax, and we must work tirelessly to promote these weapons and military systems!
Ten or twenty years later, if we are still alive,

Soldiers all over the world have used our weapons and military system, so what a great prestige that must be."

Liu Heiying blinked after hearing this, and suddenly felt a chill:
"By that time, death will be very close."

Lu Yunyi curled his lips nonchalantly:

"Every difficulty must be overcome, every step must be taken. First, do your best to overcome the current difficulties. Why worry so much about the future?"

"By the way, I'm going to ask to see the prince today. Will you come with me?"

Liu Heiying shook his head like a rattle:
"No, no, I need to go to the business and make money to open a brothel.

If those two idiots come looking for us, it would be such a bummer if none of us are there."

"I'm warning you, one of them is the daughter of the Minister of Industry, and the other is the granddaughter of the Grand Secretary. You can have some contact with them, but don't get too close to them, or you'll get into trouble and end up in trouble on both sides."

"I know."
