Chapter 76

Of course, the main point is that such a display can satisfy Fei Xinyu's enormous vanity.

At this moment, seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, the satisfaction in his heart is no different from eating a large, sweet ice block on a hot summer day.

As for the Rainbow Sky Garment's merit badges...

Fei Xinyu is not unwilling to take out the Rainbow Sky Garment's merit badges, but since coming to Rainbow Sky Garment, he has been beaten or scolded every day. The few merits he has accumulated from doing various tasks are basically offset by his faults...

This has led to the new merit badges being so few that taking them out to compare with the other two piles would only expose his shortcomings, making him look ridiculous.

If he had a substantial and sufficient number, he would have shown them off long ago.

"The military is better!"

Fei Xinyu has already cursed his own father to the heavens in his heart. I was doing well in the military, but you old thing had to transfer me back to do nothing, and I'm not happy at all in Rainbow Sky Garment!

The guard captain, who was stunned, instinctively stood straight, full of respect but also greatly puzzled: "Sir, since you once crossed the boundary between life and death... how can you be in such a state now?"

He focused his gaze on Fei Xinyu's Rainbow Sky Garment rank, truly puzzled!

That is over four hundred merits, a glorious and honorable achievement that he could not even dream of.

How could it come to this?

Everyone is a soldier, and naturally knows that in general, soldiers do not have so many opportunities to achieve such feats. Only a few specific units can achieve such results.

Only those who walk the battlefield year after year, who face life and death every day, who hover on the edge of life and death, with one foot in the mortal world and the other in the netherworld...

Only in such places, only such people, can earn so many military merits!

Hearing the phrase "crossed the boundary between life and death," Fei Xinyu's expression quickly darkened, and he cursed: "If I were a bit more cowardly, a bit more obedient, and a bit better at flattering, I would have been a general long ago!"

"So I envy you. Now I can only show off with these to you, damn it... If one of you stands out and climbs above me, and then turns around to curse me... that would be truly unjust!"

His words unfinished, he felt utterly bored and weighed down by his thoughts.

He tidied up the merit badges, spat, and muttered: "I am the one who truly upholds the family's legacy of military achievements, showing off to a bunch of slackers... what a joke..."

He then turned and walked away, his shirt open, swaying as he went, completely carefree.

It seemed as if he did not care about his own life, not placing it in his heart at all.

Behind him, over a hundred guards stood straight, their eyes full of admiration.

Although this person had cursed them like dogs, they had the right to do so!

Not to mention that he was still an officer; even if he were now nothing, a beggar with a broken leg on the street, as long as he could show so many merit badges, he could curse them and their ancestors!

Because, he is a hero of the Great Qin Empire!

Seeing his swaying figure walk away, all the guards felt a burning shame on their faces!

The captain's face was as red as pig's blood.

After a few deep breaths, he suddenly roared: "Everyone, perk up! After our shift, I'll take you to train!"

"Do you want to be a pile of shit? I don't!"

"We don't either!"

"We don't either!"

All the guards, their faces full of shame and frustration, shouted in unison.

"The next time I see this officer, I will show him a proper face, and I would rather die than let him curse me again!"

These words truly expressed everyone's feelings, as they had been cursed so harshly!

It was as if their ancestors were about to rise from their graves to do sit-ups.

Fei Xinyu, walking away, heard their shouts and knew they were for him.

His face softened slightly, relieved that his intention had been partially achieved, but then it turned to deep sorrow and sadness.

Such a blood and fire military, can I never return?

That is the place I like the most.

So many of my brothers are still buried there.

How can I not return!

How can I not return!

...

Feng Yin sat at the other end, watching Wu Tiejun's investigation, watching Fei Xinyu's show, and seeing the hundreds of merit badges glittering like rainbows in the sunlight.

Seeing the guards standing straight in the sunlight, and seeing Fei Xinyu walking away like a defeated dog, he felt a deep stirring in his heart.

Finally, he sighed and got up to leave.

They are indeed going to take action.

If his intuition is correct, this action will likely result in significant losses, and might even...

Feng Yin had already made up his mind.

He originally wanted to meet Wu Tiejun, but now it seems he needs to find another way.

As for Fei Xinyu...

Even if he could meet him, Feng Yin did not want to.

Just that one sentence had already twisted his mind.

"Damn, Doctor, your medical skills are really fucking awesome!"

When he heard this thank-you, Feng Yin wanted to rip off his socks and stuff them in Fei Xinyu's mouth.

He is a good person, but that mouth should not exist in this world.

...

In He Biqu's study in the Yuezhou Green Garment Department, Wu Tiejun had already finished his report.

He Biqu was deep in thought.

"Indeed, it is a bit abnormal. What do you think?" He Biqu asked.

"My view is simple. The high-ranking officials and experts of the Black Feather Flying Wing have definitely infiltrated Yuezhou. The number of people is significant, otherwise it would be hard to explain the current inconsistencies. But we haven't caught any of them, and we haven't even noticed any abnormalities. The only explanation is that there is an enemy spy in the city."

Wu Tiejun continued: "And this spy's identity is likely very high."

"So I have already dispatched people to investigate. There are not many targets of this level, so we should have results soon."

Wu Tiejun spoke with confidence.

"Since you know the Black Feather Flying Wing has an action and a purpose, what is their action? What is their purpose? Do you know? Do you have any leads?"

He Biqu asked.

"Unknown for now."

"Have the captured people given any clues?"

"No, they only know they are looking for someone, but they don't know who."

"Looking for someone..."

"There were a few who were protecting some cats when they were found..."

Wu Tiejun clearly found it a bit amusing: "These Yan people are quite compassionate."

"Stop making light of it." He Biqu said sternly.

"Yes."

"Anything else? The captured ones?"

"Some are still stubborn. No matter how much we torture them, they won't talk." Wu Tiejun looked at He Biqu, seeking guidance.

"Those... let them go on their way." He Biqu paused, then said: "Even if they are enemies, we should not excessively humiliate them. Our original intentions are to protect our country, and our positions are different."

"Yes!"

Wu Tiejun's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.

What he wanted to ask about included this.

Those enemy spies who refused to talk, although they knew they might have significant secrets, everyone also knew that such people are mostly dead loyalists. Even if you break every bone in their body, you won't get a word out of them.

Such people, regardless of their stance, should be called heroes!

If you confess, I will squeeze every bit of information out of you; if you don't, I will kill you as soon as I confirm, without further torture.

This is my respect for you.

At the same time, I will spread the word and return their bodies; the families of heroes should be respected in their own country, and they should be able to return home, not be buried in a foreign land.

On the other hand, it also sends a message: if our heroes fall into your hands, do not torture them excessively.

This is an unwritten agreement between armies and even secret organizations of various countries.

Although this practice has been criticized by many politicians as naive and unrealistic, the military has strongly defended it.

They do not want to torture the heroes of the enemy, nor do they want their own heroes to be tortured.

Everyone is a soldier, and they understand each other. Truly excessive actions have almost never happened over the years.

Because everyone knows that if you do it once, you will face the enmity of the entire world.

Other seven countries' forces will torture your people even more severely when they capture them!

You face not just one country, but all the soldiers on the continent.

...

"Sir, this time, we must take action. Even if it alerts the enemy, we must act. Otherwise, we will never know their true intentions, and we will always be on the defensive." Wu Tiejun said.

He Biqu sighed deeply, hesitating.

"Sir!" Wu Tiejun was getting anxious: "This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

"Is it still the one you originally suspected?" He Biqu frowned, full of worry: "You have mentioned it many times, but you have no certainty. Do you now think the time is right?"

"Not yet." Wu Tiejun admitted.

"Do you know... if it backfires, what will happen to you?" He Biqu's eyes, under his white brows, stared intently at Wu Tiejun.

Wu Tiejun replied: "I know. It's just death; and no one will bury us. But as a Great Qin soldier, can we see danger and refuse to act because of the risk of death? What is the purpose of wearing this uniform?"
