Chapter 75

"Of course, it must be important. Apart from telling me, who else have you told about this matter?"

Wu Tiejun took a deep breath, feeling that this Fei Fenkeng, who seemed a bit more tolerable now, was indeed quite capable.

"Just now, he called me a few times an idiot, but I'll settle that score when I have the chance. Overall, his mind and abilities are still decent."

"Such a confidential matter, how many people could I tell? I only told you, this idiot."

Fei Xinru rolled his eyes and said, "Those other idiots, I wouldn't even lower myself to talk to them."

Wu Tiejun immediately retracted his previous evaluation, instantly changing his impression to one of wanting to beat him to death at any moment, and said sternly, "Why didn't you go to Lord He to report?"

Fei Xinru replied resentfully, "Are you asking on purpose? That old bastard always wants to skin me alive whenever he sees me, and he doesn't even want to listen to me. I don't want to make things difficult for myself. I don't know what I did to offend him; it's like a disaster out of nowhere. I didn't kill his whole family or dig up his ancestors' graves... At his age, he has no self-control at all; he's really living like a dog."

Wu Tiejun coughed and sipped his tea.

"Disaster out of nowhere?"

"Really, don't you feel guilty when you say those four words?"

"Why do others dislike you? Don't you have a clue in your heart?"

"If it weren't for Caihong Qingyi's strict prohibition on internal strife, you would have been the first to be beaten to death by the group!"

"I understand. You stay here and keep watch for a while. I'll go and talk to the Lord about this matter."

Wu Tiejun stood up hurriedly, "The Black Feather of Feiyi Hall is willing to sacrifice so much to do this, it must be extremely important and very detrimental to us."

"It's still the one we suspected before," Fei Xinru reminded, "Don't forget, you idiot."

"I'm smarter than you! And if you dare to speak disrespectfully to me again, I'll beat you to death!"

"You stay here and do your duty properly, don't be lazy like a pile of shit!"

Wu Tiejun, like a horse with a knife in its buttocks, left in a hurry after leaving a few words.

Fei Xinru crossed his legs and drank tea, ignoring Wu Tiejun's instructions.

He felt an infinite disdain.

"What an idiot. The stricter you are at the city gate, the more cautious the actions inside will be. Such a simple thing, and he doesn't understand it. How can he have the face to be my squad leader?"

"I, the third son of the illustrious General's family, have to serve under such an idiot as a deputy squad leader! Not only is the sky blind, but where is the justice in the world?!"

"The military department is blind, exiling me; the Caihong Tianyi is also blind, putting me in such a low position... This life, this world, is truly as foul as eating shit."

Fei Xinru drank a whole pot of tea before slowly coming out to take his post, looking lazy and disheveled.

His eyes were lifeless, as if he hadn't woken up.

Seeing him like this, it was clear that he wouldn't be able to catch anyone, and he probably didn't even know where he was.

The captain of the guard, seeing this, sighed with relief.

At least it wasn't Wu Tiejun, who, although he boosted everyone's morale, made everyone extremely tired. After a day of hard work, everyone would go home with sore backs and legs, cursing him for the rest of the night.

Now that Fei Xinru was here, with his lazy appearance, everyone could breathe a sigh of relief.

But the captain was speechless.

Not only did Fei Xinru not do any work, but he started to train the soldiers.

As a member of the Caihong Tianyi, his status was above ordinary officers, and the saying "one rank higher can crush you" was true.

He didn't participate in military affairs, just gave a few instructions, and no one dared to speak.

But no one expected his "instructions" to be so vicious.

"Look at you all... What is this? Are you about to fall asleep standing? Look at this bend, what's the difference from a well-formed piece of shit? Are you segmented? Are you a bamboo? So bony and dry like a piece of shit?"

"And this one, how do you lead your soldiers? Isn't it embarrassing? Can you be any more embarrassing? That one there, like a bad case of diarrhea, slowly collapsing... Is this a soldier? Don't disgrace the word 'soldier'!"

Then he started to scold the captain.

The captain's face turned pale, his face red with anger. He couldn't argue back... and more importantly, he couldn't fight back. Otherwise, this guy would have been drowned in a pit long ago.

"Damn! This is actually a deputy squad leader? Tsk tsk, really impressive. Is this position passed down in your family? Or did you beg so much that your back can't straighten up? Oh, right, did you do too much work and hurt your back? What will your wife do? Being a soldier has made your back so bent? No wonder your face is green... Quit, go home and take care of your wife, or else, not only will your face be ugly, but your head will be ugly too."

"Brother, listen to me, I'm doing this for your own good. Quit and go home, really."

"Look at you all, like various shapes of shit, except for the smell... Oh, my mistake, I can't speak... The smell on you is no different from a dead body in a coffin, like one that's been dead for three days in the summer."

"Just stay here and enjoy your old age, don't think about protecting the country. When will the Great Qin need you to fight? It would have fallen long ago... Hey, this is actually an army? I swear, the way to live a long life is to kneel and beg for mercy when you see the enemy, calling them 'dad.' That will definitely save your life. No need to thank me, I just can't bear to see you give the enemy credit. On the battlefield, you'll just die!"

"The enemy's commander will be overjoyed to see such opponents. Do you know why he says 'good'? Think about it, really think about it, hahaha..."

"Really, I've traveled far and wide, and I thought I had seen everything, but today I've seen something new. The Great Qin actually has soldiers like you? Honestly, when I saw you, I lost all hope for the Great Qin Empire. Oh, the future is so dark, the Great Qin is finished, the Great Qin is finished..."

Fei Xinru's words were like a river of filth, endless and overwhelming.

The small squad of guards at the city gate was about to burst with anger.

A bearded man, his lungs almost bursting with anger, shouted, "What have you accomplished? What gives you the right to speak to us like this? Just because you have a higher rank? Are all members of the Caihong Qingyi like you?"

"What qualifications do I have? Hahaha, what kind of person am I? Today, I'll open your eyes, you maggots..."

Fei Xinru waved his hand, and a pile of military medals fell to the ground.

"See that? This is what I got from the battlefield when I was fifteen. Can this be faked? The merits of leading the charge, jumping into battle, breaking through the enemy lines, slaying generals, and capturing flags, even the Crown Prince wouldn't dare to fake it. My name is engraved on the back! Is it genuine enough?"

"Truly ashamed, from fifteen to twenty-two, seven years, I only got about a hundred merits. I regret it so much, I want to bang my head against the wall. Too useless, too useless..."

Fei Xinru threw another pile, "This is what I got from the northern border from twenty-five to thirty-seven, just a bit more than the first pile, a bit embarrassing... Later, I joined the Caihong Tianyi..."

"Do you want to see my medals from the Caihong Tianyi? Hahaha..."

"You're right, I don't have the right to lecture you. What right does a person like me have? Hahaha... I only got less than four hundred merits before I was forty. My meager achievements don't qualify me to lecture you, great soldiers, hahaha..."

The entire squad, including the captain and deputy captain, stood straight, their eyes fixed on the nearly four hundred shining military medals on the ground, speechless.

Their faces showed nothing but unmasked respect!

Even his curses seemed justified; he had the right to do more than just curse, even to kill!

As Fei Xinru said, these things can't be faked.

Each medal has a record, and the back is engraved with the name of the person who earned it.

As long as the Great Qin Empire exists, the merit remains.

One medal can ensure the safety of three generations.

Three generations, as long as they don't commit major crimes, minor offenses are exempt from punishment, no taxes for the current generation, half for the second, and eighty percent for the third.

After three generations, the medal is returned and melted down.

This man, whose mouth was like a river of filth, had such a glorious and astonishing past, shocking and unbelievable, yet undeniably real!

Since coming to Yuezhou, Fei Xinru had been dissatisfied with the guards here. As a son of a general's family, he particularly disliked the lax military discipline and had long wanted to teach them a lesson. This time, he came to pass on the information he had gathered to Wu Tiejun, but he also intended to discipline the garrison.

Although he couldn't truly train them, he could give them a shocking and unforgettable lesson.

Not to mention, there was a bit of personal interest involved.

In the future, if nothing goes wrong... cough, he couldn't think about it now, to avoid Wu Tiejun, that idiot, competing with him.
