When he was brought into Yan Bing's office, Yan Bing was immersed in reviewing the backlog of correspondence on his desk, and ignored Bullock who saluted him respectfully. ¡¼Please search <strong>Piaotian</strong> on Baidu to read the latest chapters of popular novels first!¡½
This is the first time that Bullock has faced the rising figure of Lions head-on. The legendary Earl appears to be much younger than the rumors say, but because of the power he holds, as time goes by, the influence from the superior person The power was as heavy as a mountain, and it was so overwhelming that Bullock, who had a ghost in his heart, could hardly breathe.
"Are you Second Lieutenant Bullock of the 5th Squadron?" After finally processing the documents at hand, Yan Bing raised his head, his eyes shooting straight into Bullock's soul like sharp arrows.
"Ah~ Yes, yes, General!" Yan Bing's sudden voice startled Bullock, and he responded quickly.
This is not a prejudice, but Yan Bing's first impression of Bullock was indeed not very good. Although Bullock's Vivino was unable to be let go in front of Yan Bing, the superior officer, there was a slickness about him. But Yan Bing couldn't feel good about him.
"Are the injuries on your body better?" Although he didn't like it, Yan Bing still had to do enough superficial work before determining the other party's fault.
Bullock showed a flattered look at the right time. In fact, he was actually a little frightened. "Thank you, General, for your care. After being treated by the military mage, my injury has improved a lot."
After Gru's accidental death happened, in order to cover up the truth, Webster and the others added several wounds that looked scary but were not actually serious to Bullock who originally only suffered some flesh wounds. Injured muscles and bones can be recovered quickly under the treatment of the light magician monks. As long as you can hide it from the sky, the pain of the flesh and blood is nothing.
"Well." Yan Bing didn't want to waste too much time on this. After a simple introduction, he said directly, "Second Lieutenant Bullock, you should know why I called you here today, right?"
Bullock knew that the real drama was coming, and quickly knelt down with one leg bent, and said with regret on his face, "It's a useless job, and I shouldn't go to a place where dragons and snakes are mixed. As a result, I have dragged down Second Lieutenant Gru, please general." Punish!"
He took the blame on himself like this, and Yan Bing couldn't blame him too much, so he had to say, "Gru is my guard. I can't ignore him inexplicably losing his life in the third area. Since you If you are the person involved, then tell me clearly what happened in detail."
Seeing that Yan Bing did not get angry with him from the beginning, Bullock breathed a sigh of relief.
In order not to expose the truth in the past two days, Bullock had rehearsed the current scene many times while hiding at home. At this time, seeing that the lie was initially working, his confidence immediately increased.
However, although Yan Bing seemed very calm when he said these words, Bullock knew that once the things he described could not be justified, he would immediately fall into an irreversible situation. For this reason, he worked hard and The prepared speech was carefully repeated from beginning to end.
Perhaps they have done too much to deceive others, but the rhetoric that Webster and the others prepared for Bullock turned out to be completely flawless. It was both true and false. Except for some details, it was not very different from the facts. In addition, Yan Bing's delay in the Dark Continent gave them a full two days of buffer time. Even if there were a few small mistakes, they tried every means to make up for them. With such sufficient preparation, even though he was as attentive as Yan Bing, he could not detect the fishy nature.
"Could it be that he was overthinking it? This was actually just an ordinary conflict," Yan Bing wondered. When he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw an arc flashing at the corner of Bullock's mouth in the military mirror on the side.
In the office of every senior general in the Lions Military Department, there is a military mirror as tall as one person, just on the side of the desk, so that the senior generals can face their subordinates in the best condition at every moment. Seeing that Bullock's position was within the refraction range of the mirror, Yan Bing accurately captured Bullock's expression even though it only passed by in a flash.
What does it mean? proud? Joking? Relieved?
Yan Bing's mind was spinning rapidly, and the suspicions that had been suppressed surged out again. Although he did not want to cause too many troubles on the Lanyuan Continent, he could not ignore things when they came to him.
After Gru's death, the other soldiers left behind in the camp were leaderless, but they did not do anything. In addition to privately organizing people to go out of the city to hunt down the fictitious so-called wandering mercenary group, in order to understand the progress of the matter, they also Replace the two places, the Flaming Lips Bar and Bullock's House.Click to monitor.
Recalling an anomaly mentioned later by the soldier in charge of monitoring, Yan Bing further stabilized Bullock, making him mistakenly believe that he believed the rhetoric. When the atmosphere was about the same, he suddenly asked casually, "Listen You said that several officers from the city defense army visited Lieutenant Bullock at your home many times in the past two days. What did you talk about?"
"We are discussing together"
Bullock was indeed a little carried away. He had seen that the lies he had made up had easily deceived Yan Bing, and he couldn't help but have the contemptuous thought that youth is still young. He relied on his knees to fall to the ground and bowed his head. No one could see what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but smile sarcastically, but he didn't expect his expression to be exposed through the mirror.
Later, with Yan Bing's deliberate comfort, he slowly relaxed his vigilance. Now that he was asked about it suddenly, he almost blurted out the truth. Fortunately, he reacted in the middle of the sentence, and a huge wave surged in his heart. At the same time, he quickly changed his words, "Oh, that's just them asking me to provide as many characteristics of the suspect as possible for arrest, General!"
Unfortunately, it was too late for Bullock to change his tune. As a soul master, Bullock's subtle changes convinced Yan Bing that there must be something evil in this. He realized that this ant-like guy in front of him had been putting himself in As a monkey, Yan Bing's anger suddenly ignited.
Considering that he has not yet truly mastered the bodyguards, Yan Bing took a long breath, leaned forward with his hands on the edge of the table, and said, "Second Lieutenant Bullock, Gru's death is related to the face of me and our entire bodyguards. If If you have any concerns, you might as well say them directly and I can make the decision for you."
Anyone with a discerning eye can hear this sentence, which is an ultimatum to Bullock.
If Bullock chooses to tell the truth at this time, then he may still get Yan Bing's forgiveness, but at this moment Bullock seems to be fascinated, or thinks that Yan Bing, an external force, cannot fight against the support of the Lacey family. Major General Hamilton Milton, who insisted that the people from the city defense army only came to him to learn more about the situation at that time, ignored Yan Bing's suggestions.
"Okay! Okay Okay~" Yan Bing laughed angrily. After saying "ok" three times in a row, his mood completely calmed down. "It seems that I have overthought it. Wuyadi is the capital of the empire, and it is just a group of wandering mercenaries." How dare you commit murder in broad daylight in the imperial capital, and the person you killed was an officer in my bodyguard army. This kind of thing is absolutely intolerable. Those losers from the city defense army searched for two days and found no news at all. I decided to get the file back to us. Check it yourself.¡±
Just when Bullock heard this, he felt something was wrong, then he heard Yan Bing continue, "Second Lieutenant Bullock, of all the people, you are the only one who is most familiar with this group of bold mercenaries. I think you will take the lead. You have three days to capture all the gangsters who killed Gru, otherwise they will be punished by military law!"
Bullock was stunned by this sudden turn of events. After swallowing hard, he said calmly, "General, General, it is my duty to find the murderer for the Gru brothers. However, it's just General. Can you please extend some time? There are only three days, it¡¯s really¡ it¡¯s really¡¡±
After a brief period of confusion, Bullock realized that he could not run away from this responsibility. After all, Gru went out with him. More importantly, Gru was dead, but he was still standing here alive.
Now that Yan Bing has decided not to let the city defense army get involved in this matter, instead of being investigated by others, it is better to take the initiative in his own hands. The wandering mercenaries will definitely not be captured. Bullock first thought The best thing is to buy a little more time with Yan Bing, so that he can think more about countermeasures.
"Why, Lieutenant Bullock hasn't even started the investigation yet, so he has no confidence. Did he know what the outcome of this matter will be from the beginning?" Yan Bing's face turned cold and he asked Bullock.
"No, no" Bullock was sweating profusely and hurriedly explained, "General, I just saw that so many people from the city defense army were dispatched but still couldn't find the group of wandering mercenaries, so I thought it must be correspondingly difficult, so I ask you, General, for a few days of grace. In addition, I still don¡¯t know what the military law disposition you are talking about, General¡¡±
"Three days! I said three days is three days! As fellow soldiers, we naturally have to advance and retreat together. Gru's body has not been buried yet. If you, Lieutenant Bullock, can't catch that gang within three days, Mercenary, then you go with Gru!" Yan Bing said calmly with an emotionless tone.
At this moment, Bullock couldn't believe his ears, because Yan Bing's words clearly meant that if he couldn't catch anyone, he would be buried with him. At this point, he was finally confused, and suddenly he didn't realize that he had stood up, "Big, big ??, you can't be angry with me because of Gru's death. I had already advised him not to be too impulsive, but he couldn't listen. "
"I don't care about any of this. Gru is a warrior I trained with my own hands. A warrior should die on the battlefield, not in such a shameless fight. He was brought out by you. If you can't find the person to kill him, , then you can bury him by yourself!"
Bullock was so choked by Yan Bing's overbearing statement that he couldn't even utter a word. He stood there with his face changing, and beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. He thought for a long time and tried hard but in vain to defend, "Sir, I am a registered officer in the military department. You have no right to do this!"
"Hahahaha" Yan Bing raised his head and laughed for a while, snorted and squinted his eyes, "What a joke, I am the Imperial Major General Count, the deputy commander of the Guards Army, you are just a small second-level second lieutenant, I want you Die, who dares to save you!"
Isn¡¯t Bullock¡¯s first fear that Yan Bing would make him angry? This is what Yan Bing is showing now.
It is human nature to follow the crowd. No one would offend Yan Bing, a celebrity valued by two generations of emperors, for a small person like Bullock. What's more, strictly speaking, Bullock also has a reason to be punished. Thinking of this, Bullock His whole body went limp.
"Okay!" Seeing that Bullock looked completely different from when he first came in, Yan Bing said impatiently, "Galen, Talis, you two are responsible for assisting Second Lieutenant Bullock in tracking down the murderer who killed Gru. These three Wherever Second Lieutenant Tianbrock goes, you will follow him. If there is no result after three days, you know what to do."
"Yes, sir!"
The Galen and Talis mentioned by Yan Bing are the two violent camp soldiers who summoned Bullock.
More than 300 soldiers in the camp survived many battles, and they all had a life-long friendship with each other. Galen and Talis knew that it was Bullock who encouraged Gru to go out and fool around and caused Gru's death. He didn't have a good impression. At this time, after receiving Yan Bing's order, the two men stepped forward to pick up Bullock and left. Bullock could clearly see the smell of blood in their eyes.
When Bullock was about to be carried out of the door, Yan Bing, who was sitting behind the desk, added seemingly unintentionally, "Oh, by the way, Second Lieutenant Bullock, you should have a certain background to be able to join the Guards." , then you have to hurry up these three days and see if you can find someone to stand up for you, but if you find someone, you must find someone with a heavier weight. I don¡¯t know if you have heard of it. Duke Peter has a nephew named Acker. Da, but I committed suicide myself, right in Max Semo City!"
Yan Bing's words became the last straw that broke Bullock's psychological defense, "Sir, sir, I was wrong, I was wrong! I still have something to say, I was forced, it was all them. My" Bullock shouted with tears in his eyes.
Yes, who doesn¡¯t know about the death of Count Akda of Max Semo City? He was a brigadier general. He was killed by the man in front of him without even notifying the military department. Later, I heard that the person in charge of the military department was Duke Peter said he wanted to show off the Imperial Eagle, but was suppressed by Prince Norris, and nothing happened to him.
Although Major General Hamilton Milton of the City Defense Force wanted someone to send a message saying that he was willing to accept him into the Leith clan's faction and promised many benefits, but at least he had to live to enjoy it. Maybe then He was already dead before others came forward. At this last moment of life and death, Bullock finally figured out the joints.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
After learning all the truth from Bullock, Yan Bing slapped his palm heavily on the desk and became furious.
Without the support of people from the city defense army, how could the members of the underground organization dare to attack Gru and others even after they revealed their identities? This Hamilton Milton had gone too far to bully others. He had not yet settled the previous incident with him. The account is getting worse now. Whether intentional or not, Yan Bing knows that this kind of thing must not be tolerated.
Let Galen and Talis carry Bullock, and Yan Bing took the lead all the way to the office of Lieutenant General Jeff Jones, the highest officer of the Guards. When he saw Yan Bing a few days later, Lieutenant General Jeff Jones originally wanted to Yan Bing expressed his apology for not serving in the army and causing casualties among his men. When Yan Bing told the truth, he couldn't believe it and was furious at the same time.
Yan Bing ordered Galen and the two men to bring Bullock into the office. Bullock, who had already confessed, recounted the incident exactly. This time, in order to obtain a lighter punishment, he even included the information given by Webster instead of Hamilton Milton. The promise was honestly made. After listening to all of Bullock's explanation, Lieutenant General Jeff Jones fell silent.
After thinking about it, Yan Bing quickly understood the concerns of Lieutenant General Geoff Jones. Although this matter related to the face of the Guards, it also involved the Lions Emperor.Among the three major families, Lieutenant General Jeff Jones, the Lacey family, will retire within the next two years if nothing unexpected happens. In order to protect himself wisely, he has to think about himself and his family.
After thinking about this, Yan Bing took the initiative to speak to Lieutenant General Jeff Jones, "General, the officer who died this time was one of my men. I would like to apply to you, General, for full authority to handle this matter. I hope you can approve it." .¡±
Hearing Yan Bing's request, Lieutenant General Jeff Jones was shocked. This was the first time Yan Bing actively asked him to delegate power after reporting to the Guards. After thinking for a while, he asked, "This time it is indeed The people under that boy from the Leith family have gone too far, but I would like to ask Deputy General Bingyan first, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
Speaking of which, Lieutenant General Jeff Jones was still frightened by Yan Bing's killing of Brigadier General Akda. He was afraid that if Yan Bing got angry and killed Hamilton again, the whole thing would be ruined. It's a big deal. Judging from the last imperial court competition, the lieutenant in front of him, whose strength exceeds the age limit, is fully capable of this.
The problem is that Hamilton Milton's identity is not comparable to that of Akeda. He is the direct heir of the Lacey family and represents the future of the Lacey family. Once something happens to him, Duke Lacey will never give up. , even if Lieutenant General Jeff Jones did not intervene, he could not stay out of it.
What is even more troublesome is that Lieutenant General Jeff Jones cannot let Yan Bing feel that he is biased towards Duke Leis. His deputy has made it clear that it is Prince Nosis who has arranged to replace the commander of the Guards Army. As for the position, if a mishandling makes him hold a grudge, it will be equally difficult for him to move forward in Uyadi in the future.
After weighing it in his mind, Lieutenant General Jeff Jones felt in a dilemma. In the end, he could only make a decision to prevent the incident from further expanding within his own scope. Therefore, he urgently needed to know Yan Bing's attitude. Of course, he could get a Guaranteed to be better.
