Chapter 555 The army is coming
"Hai Dabao, come here."
Zhang Darong shouted towards the team, and a big man in centurion uniform walked out. One of his sleeves was empty. He had fair skin and a big belly. He was about 1.8 meters tall and had a smile on his face. With a flattering smile, he walked quickly:
"Brother Rong, what's the matter?"
Lin Xiaofan winked at Zhang Darong, who thought about it and said:
"It's a personal matter, let's talk further away."
Hearing this, Hai Dabao's eyelids twitched, he shrank his neck and said:
"Brother Rong, why don't you just say it here? There will be afternoon training in a while. If I don't lead this army training, these people below will inevitably slack off."
Hearing this, Zhang Darong glanced at Lin Xiaofan behind him, who stood there with a cold face and said nothing.
"It won't take long, come with us. Besides, the soldiers under your command are not three-year-old children, so why do you need to keep watching them."
With that said, Zhang Darong took Hai Dabao's arm and walked out regardless of whether he agreed or not.
Although he was not very strong, Hai Dabao did not dare to resist, so he was pulled out.
Lin Xiaofan looked at the strong man walking in front, and there was nothing suspicious about his expression and movements just now.
"Brother Rong, Brother Rong, what on earth is going on."
Hai Dabao asked all the way, while Zhang Darong pretended to be deaf and dumb and led the people outside the military camp. Only then did Lin Xiaofan shout to stop.
"Hai Dabao, please tell me the truth."
Lin Xiaofan's face was as cold as ice, which made people shudder.
Hearing this, Hai Dabao's expression changed, and then he touched the back of his head:
"General Lin, what do you want to tell me?"
"Take it!"
Lin Xiaofan spoke directly, and Duanmu Liangjiang pushed Jiujiang Haidabao to the ground with three strikes.
Seeing this scene, Hai Dabao was even more confused. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Darong on the side with a somewhat puzzled look on his face.
Zhang Darong sighed and put on a serious look:
"Dabao, this matter is very important. I really can't help you. Please tell me honestly. There is still room for change."
If the city is destroyed tomorrow, he, the commander of the city guards, will definitely not survive. This matter was related to his life, and he had to put his best effort into acting.
"Explain? Account for what? I didn't do anything!"
Hai Dabao looked at the two of them, his face full of grievance and confusion, but the only thing he received in response was the cold gazes of the two.
After a while, he gradually lost his battle and lowered his eyes, trying to hide the turmoil in his eyes:
"Okay, I admit it. Last month, I was obsessed with money. I took money from others and promoted a few people in the army. But I'm not dirty. The total is only forty or fifty taels. Besides, To be honest, who among our city guards has never been greedy? "
When saying this, Hai Dabao seemed to have made up his mind.
Hearing this answer, Zhang Darong scratched his head.
Looking at Hai Dabao's appearance, it seems to be a misunderstanding. He subconsciously looked at Lin Xiaofan.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Xiaofan's mouth, and his eyes suddenly became sharp:
"Hai Dabao, you are really good at avoiding the important and taking the easy. You kept silent about colluding with the Sirius Kingdom."
Hearing this, Hai Dabao was startled and fell to his knees on the ground, pointing one finger at Lin Xiaofan:
"General Lin, please don't slander others. I, Hai Dabao, have been upright and aboveboard all my life. I am greedy for money because my mother is seriously ill and in urgent need of money. As for the collusion with the Sirius Kingdom you mentioned, I have never done it!"
"Hai Dabao, with your acting skills, it would be a pity not to act. If I hadn't placed a spy in Tianlang Country, you would have been able to get through."
Lin Xiaofan took a few steps forward and pulled out his knife.
Seeing this posture, Hai Dabao wanted to retreat, but was tightly controlled by Duanmu Liangjiang, unable to move forward or retreat at all. He used too much force and his whole face turned red:
"Why do you say that I colluded with the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom! I have a sixty-year-old mother, two children who are waiting for food, and I am a centurion. Why did I collude with the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom? Let me see, you are the one who colluded with the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom. The one from the wolf country!”
After the words fell, Hai Dabao gasped, and then looked at Zhang Darong aside:
"Brother Rong, why don't you say a word to me. I went to the battlefield as an adult and fought hard for more than ten years. At least a dozen enemies died under my hands. I even lost an arm in order to kill the enemy. Unexpectedly, In the end, he was framed as a traitor."
"I think Lin Xiaofan is the one who colluded with the Sirius Kingdom! Brother Rong, you absolutely cannot trust him!"
Hai Dabao looked like he was risking his life.
Seeing this, Zhang Darong felt very sorry, gritted his teeth and went up to grab Lin Xiaofan:
"Forget it, General Lin. It seems that Zhang Darong is really not a meticulous worker. He has made a lot of contributions to the country. If we kill him here, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers?"
He looked at Lin Xiaofan, praying that the other person would not be carried away by anger, so that Hai Dabao could still save his life.
Lin Xiaofan always had an indifferent expression, but his steps stopped.
To be honest, it is almost impossible for Hai Dabao to be a good person in a situation where there is an elder and a younger one, a happy family and a successful career. But for some reason, he always felt something was wrong.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and waved his hand to Duanmu Liangjiang, who then let go of Hai Dabao.
Then Lin Xiaofan showed a friendly smile and stretched out his hand like Hai Dabao:
"Someone reported you this morning for being a spy. In these extraordinary times, if the city is destroyed, everyone in Guangling City will inevitably die. As a general, I must be more cautious. I hope you don't mind."
"When the battle is over, I'll treat you to a drink."
Hearing this, Hai Dabao's expression softened a bit, and he felt lucky to survive the disaster. He grabbed Lin Xiaofan's hand, used his strength, and patted the dust on his body:
"I understand. I thought I was going to die just now, and what I said was a bit unpleasant. I hope General Lin doesn't mind."
The generals have taken a step back, what can he, a centurion, say? Can only forgive.
"Hai Dabao, the Sirius Kingdom has recently invaded. According to my guess, there are fine craftsmen in the city, and these fine crafts are most likely to come from the city guards, especially among the centurions and thousand commanders. They are the most powerful in the army. The power of speech is great. If you rebel, the consequences will be disastrous. If you have any news, just report it and it will be a great achievement."
"This battle is of great importance to the Sirius Kingdom. If the news is true, it is not a big deal to be granted the title of Baron. If you make a big contribution, you might be able to get an exceptional promotion of two or three levels."
Lin Xiaofan said.
"He's actually doing something meticulous! He's usually just a bit corrupt, but he doesn't care about the safety of the country. These people are eating everything inside and outside. If I knew, I would have to pull out his skin. Brother Rong, I didn't mean what you said, you Do not misunderstand."
Hai Dabao saw that Zhang Darong's face was a little dark, so he hurriedly explained.
Zhang Darong nodded slightly. He also knew that Hai Dabao was not talking about him, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Back in the military camp, afternoon training has begun. At this moment, several soldiers standing guard ran over quickly, breathing heavily:
"Here we come! The people from the Sirius Kingdom are here!"
Lin Xiaofan's expression changed, and he quickly walked towards the city wall. Xiao Tiansheng, Duanmu Liangjiang and others also quickly followed.
There was a wilderness outside Guangling City, with an unobstructed view for several miles. Everyone could clearly see that an army was stationed on the spot a few kilometers away.
The elite Sirius is here!
