That afternoon, the new recruits finally finished their training. Under the arrangement of the Battalion Commanders, the new recruits finally gathered and received their long-awaited official ident.i.ty tokens.
The new recruits from the Ranged Cavalry Battalion all held their tokens tightly in their hands, there was not a single sound from within the troop, everyone was listening to the last lecture given to them by Hong Fei.
For the next half month, a group of men pa.s.sed every day in sweat, blood, and even tears. Among them was pain, joy, and something called friends.h.i.+p. They grew quietly in this environment.
Hong Fei warned the new recruits a lot, and at the end, the men's eyes turned red!
Finally, amidst the laughter, Hongfei said something!
"Dismissed!"
"Is there anything else, Battalion Commander Hong?" Xiang Yun asked puzzledly.
"Heh heh." Hong Fei laughed, "You little rascal, hiding your strength well."
"Ahem, Battalion Commander Hong, I'm really sorry about that. I …" Xiang Yun scratched his head, not knowing what else to say.
"Haha!" Hong Fei laughed when he saw this, "What are you still talking about? There's no need to explain to us brothers. The stronger you are, the happier I will be.
Then, Hong Fei patted Xiang Yun's shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother Wei, you have to be careful when you go to the Rushu Cavalry Battalion from now on. After all, you've offended Xue Jie. This person is unscrupulous and is afraid that he will take revenge in the future."
Xiang Yun nodded and cupped his fists towards Hongfei, saying, "Many thanks for the Battalion Commander's reminder. For a vile person like him, we do need to be careful."
After chatting for a while, Xiang Yun waved his hand and left, heading towards his dorm. Halfway there, Xiang Yun thought of that letter from home and hurriedly changed directions, heading towards the exit of the five camps with that letter in his hand.
When they arrived at the exit of the camp, the guards at the camp's entrance stopped Xiang Yun. Upon hearing that he was here to send a letter, they immediately called out to a middle-aged man standing guard outside the camp. The man hurriedly walked over.
"This sir here has to send a letter."
"Yes, I have a letter for home to send to the Northern Forest County. The address is on the envelope." Xiang Yun handed over the envelope and silver.
The man quickly took it and said with a smile, "No problem. This little one will guarantee that you can deliver it as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Xiang Yun nodded and turned to leave.
It was at this moment that an explosive shout rang out from behind Xiang Yun!
He saw Xue Jie, Zhou Donghai, and Jiang Shan currently rus.h.i.+ng over aggressively. There was another familiar face beside the three of them, and it was actually the new battalion commander, Dai Hu. A group of soldiers carrying sabers and spears were behind them as they charged towards him.
"Wei Xiaobao, what are you doing!" Xue Jie scolded once again.
Xue Jie, it was unexpected that this fellow did not have a memory to actually come looking for trouble again. As for Xue Jie's question, Xiang Yun completely ignored it.
Xue Jie felt a little guilty from Xiang Yun's direct and oppressive gaze. His aura was greatly weakened. On the other hand, Dai Hu stared sinisterly at Xiang Yun as he asked in a low voice.
"Wei Xiaobao, this Battalion Commander is asking you, what are you doing?"
Faced with Dai Hu's question, Xiang Yun shot him a cold glance before replying, "Battalion Commander Dai, could it be that sending a letter home requires your permission as well? Aren't you being a little too magnanimous?"
"Impudent! Wei Xiaobao, how dare you talk to Battalion Commander Dai in such a manner!" Xue Jie, who was at the side, suddenly scolded loudly!
"Hehe, how could I possibly talk to Battalion Commander Dai? It has nothing to do with you. How dare you interrupt us here. " Xiang Yun scoffed.
"You!" Xue Jie was instantly infuriated when he heard this. Dai Hu, who was beside him, secretly pulled on his sleeve.
Xue Jie immediately understood. He suppressed the anger in his chest and turned to look at the postman outside the camp.
Xue Jie called out to the postman outside the camp entrance.
"Ah, sir, do you want to send a letter?" The postman greeted him with a smile.
"Ah …" The postman hesitated.
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!" Xue Jie could not wait any longer and rushed over, extending his hand to s.n.a.t.c.h the letter!
However, the strong wind suddenly howled beside his ears. In the blink of an eye, a fist the size of a sandbag was constantly magnified before his eyes!
"Scram!" Xiang Yun's expression was cold as he struck out, a fist flying towards Xue Jie's face.
Xue Jie was so frightened that his expression changed. Xiang Yun's punch came with incomparable speed. He had no time to dodge at all.
Just as Xue Jie was frightened to the point that he closed his eyes and was about to cry out in pain, a figure swiftly flew over and instantly appeared in front of Xue Jie.
"Bam!"
With a dull thud, both his arms trembled, but Xiang Yun's punch had still been blocked! The one who attacked was none other than Dai Hu!
Dai Hu stared coldly at Xiang Yun and coldly said, "Kid, you can casually hurt someone in the military camp. You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
"Hmph, he opened my letter privately, what's wrong with me stopping him!"
"The secret of the military camp!" When Xiang Yun heard this, he was momentarily stunned. A bad premonition immediately struck him, however, before he could even react, Xue Jie had already s.n.a.t.c.hed the letter from the postman's hands.
"Chi la!"
Xue Jie tore open the letter and took out the letter. He exclaimed, "This is not a letter, it's a map!"
"Huh?"
When Dai Hu heard this, he secretly glanced at Xiang Yun, his eyes revealing a hint of playfulness. Soon after, he returned to Xue Jie's side with a solemn expression. Taking a look at the map, he immediately cried out in shock!
"This is the military map outside the cold wall, this is confidential. Wei Xiaobao, you actually dare to steal the military map! How dare you!"
The angry shout caused the surrounding soldiers to jump in fright. The middle-aged postman staggered and fell to the ground, scared to the point that his face was drained of color!
"Hmph, it's none of your business, but stealing and transporting military secrets is a heinous crime. Men, arrest Wei Xiaobao and the postman!" Dai Hu coldly scolded and immediately ordered his men to be arrested!
However, this letter was given to him by Dong Lin. Xiang Yun did not dare to imagine Dong Lin, and could only feel a chill in his heart! That seemingly simple and honest Dong Lin who would do whatever he wanted actually wanted to frame him?!
While his mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, those soldiers with weapons had already arrived by Xiang Yun's side, ready to grab him.
"Wait a minute!"
After experiencing the bone-chilling cold in his heart, Xiang Yun swiftly calmed down.
Now it was not about why Dong Lin wanted to frame him, but how to get out of this predicament. If he were to reveal his ident.i.ty as the son of a shoulder to shoulder, they would not dare to do anything, let alone steal military secrets.
However, he had made a promise with Xiang Jinglei that he would not reveal his ident.i.ty as the crown prince. He did not want to lose to Xiang Jinglei, and he had to think of a way to resolve this matter.
Immediately, Xiang Yun went through all sorts of thoughts ran through his mind, going through the entire matter in his mind.
At the same time, Xue Jie impatiently scolded, "Hmph, now that the evidence is conclusive, what more do you want to say?"
Xiang Yun's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he said to Dai Hu, Xue Jie, and the rest, "This matter is extremely important."
"That's right, there is also evidence, but where is the witness? Tell me, who is the person who reported me? He has seen the contents of the letter, and besides, other than being locked up in the cold cell for the past few days, I have been training with the soldiers. There are people who can prove that I have time to steal the map."
"This …"
At this moment, there were already more and more people gathering here. After asking each other questions, everyone already knew what had happened. When they heard Xiang Yun's question, everyone also started asking questions.
"That's right, these military secrets are well guarded. How could they be so easily stolen?"
"Brother, you're right. Only material evidence has no witness, so there's no way we can be found guilty."
At this moment, everyone was discussing amongst themselves. Dai Hu, Xue Jie and the others looked at each other, momentarily dumbfounded. They had originally thought that Xiang Yun would only be able to be dealt with by them once the spoils were gone.
How would they know that Xiang Yun was, after all, a famous university student in his previous life, and he knew even more about this than they did? Immediately, he found a bunch of flaws in this matter, slowly revealing them one by one.
