Chapter 264

After one hour.

On the hillside.

The car stopped slowly.

now.

They have already arrived at the border of the Dayan Empire. The main landform here has been replaced by the Gobi, and the desert further east will blow sandstorms to the west every year.

Stars and stars in the distance.

That is the town of Qianjun.

quick!

Xiang Liang only had this feeling. It took him more than a day from here to the place where he was ambushed.

And now, just take a nap.

There is also the ability of night vision and infrared marking.

so technical.

so amazing.

Not only can the target be seen clearly at night, but it can also be marked according to the heat source.

As long as a little skin is exposed, it is as conspicuous as a beacon.

If it is a night battle.

Simply invincible!

. . .

They didn't march into town.

Whoosh!

One speed up.

The car disappeared into the night, and it was still a while before dawn. According to the normal speed, it was impossible for Xiang Liang to return to Junzhen so early.

therefore.

The car rushed to another place, which was also the first destination planned before.

--- Shacheng.

The largest city among the eastern border towns of Dayan.

It was originally a military town.

Later, as the trade gradually prospered, it finally became a city. Although it is called a city, its size is only a few hundred thousand people.

It is more than two hundred kilometers away from the military town.

then.

An hour and a half later, I saw Shacheng in the distance.

When Xiang Liang saw it, he smiled wryly. He was extremely fast, and his maneuverability was beyond the charts. The most important thing was that he was tireless. As long as he had fuel, he could keep running.

Think carefully.

future.

The horse may really have to withdraw from the battlefield. Compared with an indefatigable machine, the horse has no advantage.

riding.

riding battle.

cavalry.

will all be history.

"Wait here." Shu Fu said.

"yes."

Xiang Liang catted obediently in the car, and Shu Fu came back ten minutes later.

Getting in the car and leaving, Xiang Liang didn't know what happened and didn't ask much.

As a subordinate.

Just listen to the order.

What should be known, will always be known.

Shouldn't know, not curious.

in this way.

Only then can he be regarded as a qualified subordinate.

subsequently.

As soon as the direction was turned, the car headed towards Chongjunjun Town. There was a guard of Shu Fu in the sand city. Under the night, he chose a place that was easy to climb for Shu Fu to climb over the wall.

Then he randomly bound to a house and left.

I will go to guard the selected house when I have time. Now there is a curfew, so it is inconvenient to walk on the street.

. . .

early morning.

In the town of the army.

"Woo!"

"Woo!"

"..."

The continuous sound of the whistle made the entire military town alive. Tens of thousands of exiled prisoners got up, ate, and then were escorted to work. This is an oasis.

There are many farmlands and farms.

certainly.

The output of the farm is not for the prisoners. It is eaten by the frontier soldiers. This is the army town of Chongjun, and it is also a supply point for the military towns of the Duhufu.

The meat and vegetables produced greatly solved the food problem of the frontier army.

To say hard.

Just a little bit.

after all.

This is the place where exiled prisoners are guarded. Although it is located at the border, the oil and water are better than those purely stationed military towns, because there are prisoners' family members.

Always some extra cash.

Tens of thousands of people ate an unpalatable mushy breakfast in numbness, and then went to work in the fields.

escape?

Where can I go?

Hundreds of miles around, there is no human habitation, it is all Gobi, and there is no way to escape.

Although life here is bad, at least it is better to be alive than to be dead.

and.

Good performance, there is hope to go back.

Exile.

At least it means that he did not commit a capital crime, so if he behaves well, the empire will commute his sentence accordingly.

Once jailbreak is caught, the top penalty will be imposed.

---cut!

Never give another chance.

"hurry up!"

"Don't be lazy, watch out for the whip."

"..."

The guards were not easy to talk to, and they served them with sticks and whips at every turn, but they were mainly for stealing, rape and trickery.

Under Xiang Liang's rule, it was not allowed to beat prisoners without reason.

certainly.

Guards are human beings too, so it doesn't matter if they are too strict.

So, compromise up and down.

They resolutely carried out Xiang Liang's orders, while the higher-ups kept a balance with the "gray income" below, turning a blind eye and closing an eye.

. . .

The main entrance of the military town.

Xiang Liang came back wearing bloody armor, and immediately the guards were in a commotion.

Without saying a word, Xiang Liang brought Shu Fu and others to the guard's mansion first.

Imperial appropriation.

Plus extra money.

therefore.

The construction here is not bad, the guard's mansion is quite large, it is not only a place to live, but also a place to work, once entering the door Shu Fu meditated and bound.

Finish!

then.

Then he excused himself and went to a wing.

withdraw!

He has nothing to do here, and he left two guards as personal soldiers for Xiang Liang.

Mixed qualifications.

no way.

Unless you rebel.

Otherwise, in a country with a strict hierarchy like the Dayan Empire, it would be extremely difficult to get promoted, and all the hidden guards were still at the bottom.

It doesn't matter.

No background.

No matter how capable you are, you can only accompany me to read.

. . .

Guard House.

Xiang Liang didn't have much emotion for the revenge his subordinates clamored for, because all those who chased him had been thrown into the wilderness.

One didn't live.

now.

What he had to do was to implement Shu Fu's instructions.

---Stand firm and seek greater power.

Like this time.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what the reason for the attack was. Therefore, he can use this to seek greater benefits from the side he is in line with.

Like this time.

Going to the Duhu Mansion to report on his duties and get promoted is almost a certainty.

Otherwise, the other party would not use the lowly means of attacking and killing.

That's a tactic he chooses when he can't use the obvious method.

The debriefing is over.

Ask for leave.

Back to the imperial capital.

Then he came back to take up the post of Deputy Chief Protector of the Protectorate Mansion. The news had not spread, and very few people knew about it. As for why someone bet heavily on him?

Obviously not just his abilities.

And family background.

otherwise.

Ability alone cannot achieve the position of guard in the army town. This is a very lucrative and very important position, and it will not be changed even if it is given to the deputy guard.

His father was the previous Protectorate, who later served as the Dian Division of the Ministry of War.

Both the previous and current guardians were former subordinates of his father.

Now.

Promoting him to be the deputy governor is also paving the way for the position of governor, and it is also because of this neither strong nor weak background that he is here.

Only then can he serve as the guard general of the army.

His father has a lot of old stories and had a certain influence in the eastern frontier army.

The same is true, only to enter the sight of some people, trying to win him over.

in the past.

Xiang Liang no longer has much interest in power, because even his own father, who was a senior member of the third rank of the Eight Classics, was a Zeng Guan to the Dian Si of the Ministry of War.

Also ended up a victim of imperial power.

Those behind the scenes, just because they belong to the royal family, are still at large.

And now.

Hugging the thigh of a 'rebel boss', Xiang Liang immediately had a goal.

promotion.

that power.

To work for Shu Fu, break the imperial system he already hated, and create a brand new world of order.
