Chapter 325 Someone broke into the camp?
Zhong Ming had a gut feeling that if he walked toward the waterfall that cascaded down like diamonds in the night light, he would definitely bump into some young couples having a secret rendezvous.
Forget it, let's go find Yue Kaishan to play.
This is where the advantage of having all these brothers in the military camp comes in; doesn't that mean they have a reason to go anywhere?
He rushed all the way to the Shield Guard Camp, only to learn that the unlucky Yue Kaishan was being "accompanied by a thousand needles" by the medical cultivators. It wasn't that he had been seriously injured in the last battle, but rather that he had found an opportunity for a breakthrough and immediately prepared medicine to seek help from the medical cultivators.
While inserting needles into his body, he also applied medicine.
Zhong Ming didn't understand any of this, but he felt it was best not to disturb them at this time. Without hesitation, Zhong Ming decided to launch a surprise attack on Xuan Jing.
Xuanjing is probably locked up in some dark room in the armory right now, drawing talismans.
As a result, no matter where they went, they could not enter because it was a heavily guarded military area, even though he was the captain, so they had to give up.
"You're lucky to be able to wander around the military camp. Do you know about the curfew? Only captains and above can move around freely." The guard in front of the armory curled his lip, looking resentful.
He's at the ninth level of Qi Refining, so he can only stand guard here, while this kid at the eighth level of Qi Refining can wander around everywhere. It's infuriating to compare yourself to others.
Zhong Ming was helpless. Going to Chen Dahai's place probably wouldn't work either, since that guy's combat readiness level was no lower than that of the combat readiness room.
After wandering around the military camp, I found myself nowhere to go.
As he walked, he felt a little hungry. He was about to take some food from the storage stone when he suddenly remembered that the things in the storage stone were not meant for human consumption.
Let's go out and find something good to eat under the cover of night.
Zhong Ming is the captain of the guard team, so it's normal for him to go out on patrol.
As long as he doesn't stray too far, he can see the signal from here, so there shouldn't be any problem.
So, during the crucial time when the battalion commander was nearly forced to kneel on a washboard by his Daoist partner, Fang Qianqian was unconscious, and the envoy was reporting the situation to Zhao Wuji, Zhong Ming secretly slipped out of the barracks.
He walked in the opposite direction of the waterfall, hoping to meet some farmers and buy some livestock such as cattle and sheep from them.
To be honest, Zhong Ming thought that his own cooking was better than what the chef made.
After traveling several miles, he unknowingly arrived at a row of camps. The temporary tents were lined up in a row. The main camp was not yet fully repaired, and some people were working day and night to set up a new defensive line in front of the camp.
"Who goes there!" The people on the other side were very alert. Upon seeing Zhong Ming's blurry figure, they shouted and beckoned several guards to come forward with their steel guns.
"I am the captain of the Third Guard Team."
"Nonsense, I am the Third Guard... Greetings, Immortal Master!" The man suddenly realized halfway through his rant that the stranger was not referring to the mortal Third Guard.
"I didn't know you were coming, Immortal Master. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you properly. Please forgive me, Immortal Master, hehehe~~" He chuckled a few times, the strong man bowing a head lower than Zhong Ming, his smile very forced.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll just wander around for a bit. Don't be nervous."
Zhong Ming waved his hand, signaling him not to make a scene, that he was just taking a casual stroll.
For mortals, is that just "casual" wandering? How powerful are the immortals? They can make them see if they want to, and if they don't want them to, the immortals can't find them even if they stare with their eyes wide open.
They must be here for an inspection, hmm, a clandestine visit.
Especially the waist tag hanging from this immortal's waist, a proper captain's tag.
"Don't be afraid, I'll just walk around. Just pretend I was never here."
"Yes, yes, yes, I was on guard duty here today, and I didn't see anyone." He puffed out his chest, stood ramrod straight, and looked around arrogantly.
Zhong Ming was unaware that this was a mortal's camp, so he planned to leave. However, upon closer inspection, he discovered that the camp was filled with torches, illuminating the surroundings. The tents were arranged in a line, stretching into the distance, and there were other camps extending towards this place in the far distance, seemingly trying to encircle the artillery camp.
He immediately understood: the construction of a defensive line here meant that his cannons would need a considerable amount of time to be repaired.
"Someone has broken into the camp!" someone suddenly shouted in the military camp.
"No!" The mortal soldier standing in front of Zhong Ming immediately responded loudly. Even if the Heavenly King himself came today, this immortal master wouldn't be here!
"Someone broke into the camp! They've been caught! They've been caught!"
At this moment, Zhong Ming pressed down on the shoulder of the soldier in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Another person has broken into the camp. Let's go and take a look."
Upon hearing the immortal's words, the soldier immediately ordered his subordinates to surround the immortal and clear a path for Zhong Ming.
Since joining the army, Zhong Ming has always acted alongside cultivators. Due to his low cultivation level and young age, he was always at the lowest level wherever he went. Only in the last two days has things gotten a little better, with a large group of people surrounding him and him walking past in a huge throng, which makes him feel somewhat embarrassed.
after a little while.
"Come on, make way, make way! I'm the deputy captain of the Third Guard Team. What's going on?"
The man pushed through the crowd and got closer. He saw two boys, about thirteen years old, tied up tightly with a smelly rag stuffed in their mouths, obscuring their faces.
"what happened?"
"Ah, Captain Li, it's nothing serious. These two little rascals were sneaking over the camp wall, but we caught them." The person answering pointed to a temporary wooden wall about the height of a person next to him, with torches stuck in the ground, and the grain of the wood was clearly visible.
After saying that, he kicked the boy who was kicking wildly and shouted sternly, "Behave yourself."
Zhong Ming frowned slightly and asked, "What are they doing crossing the camp?"
"Who knows? We'll find out after the interrogation. Wait, who are you?"
"Never mind that." Deputy Captain Li stood in front of Zhong Ming, his eyes flashing with a stern look. "How can we interrogate him with his mouth gagged? Let him go."
"Hey, Captain Li, watch out, these two peasants bite." The man violently pulled out the two smelly rags.
One boy remained silent, glaring angrily at the others, while another pleaded with a tearful voice, "Soldiers, please have mercy and let us pass. We're just going to the mountains to gather herbs."
At this moment, a soldier beside Zhong Ming suddenly said, "Hey, I've seen them before. They wanted to go over this morning, but I stopped them."
Zhong Ming frowned slightly and said, "Is the gathering of herbs for saving lives or for making a living?"
"Help! Help!" The boy became agitated upon hearing someone's question. "My mother fell ill with a strange disease five days ago. I consulted the old Chinese medicine doctor in the village, and he said that to cure her, she must find the money grass on the mountaintop of Silver Waterfall Mountain. It must be the grass that is covered with dew when the mountain mist rises in the morning. Gentlemen, please have mercy and let me pass."
Several soldiers didn't believe him at all; they even laughed at him and mocked him.
"I've seen that excuse a million times. Get out of here."
"Let Wu Laoqi interrogate those two brats who are spouting nonsense first."
