Chapter 28 Recruit Camp (Part 2)
Next, Cons waited for Isna to speak, while Insna was waiting for Cons to speak. For a moment, the entire hall was so quiet that only breathing could be heard.
In this quiet atmosphere, Isna's heart started to beat faster and faster again.
Isna heard the increasingly louder and louder beating inside her body, and she didn't know what to do. The more she wanted it to whisper, the more she jumped louder.
When Isna blushed for fear of being beaten by Cons when she heard her heartbeat, Cons finally spoke: "Sir, the official is leaving." After that, she turned around and walked away.
Isna, who breathed a sigh of relief, forced herself to hold back her actions to lean against the bookcase, and tried to speak to Cons' back in a plain tone: "Sir Cons, then please come here to study after lunch tomorrow."
Cons originally thought he had come again this time, but when he heard Isna's words, he couldn't help but stop and said respectfully: "Yes!" Although it was still a very simple and ordinary word, Isna could still hear a hint of joy from it.
Isna watched Cons disappear at the door of the hall, and finally leaned weakly against the bookcase, holding the book with both hands and pressing it against her chest. It took a long time to calm down her mood.
"What should I do? When I face him, I was so nervous. Especially when I saw his eyes: my heart immediately jumped up unscrupulously. What's wrong with me? How can I teach him like this..."
Isna whispered to herself, suddenly picked up her head and looked at the door and exclaimed in a low voice: "Oh no! The princess also asked me to mention the apprenticeship to him, but I forgot... Oh, I may have to live for several years after taking on this task..."
Shaking his head, Isna stood up and left without any help.
Isna was talking about Cons, and Cons was also thinking about the teacher: "The adults don't seem to like talking a lot, and they seem a little nervous. Is all priests like this?"
Cons shook his head: "I don't want to think about it anymore, tomorrow! I can realize my wish tomorrow..." Cons held back his joy and walked out of the temple, but the faint smile on the corner of his mouth still made Paru and Ida waiting at the door see it.
Of course Palu knew why Cons was happy because he watched Cons and Isna's performances using a very hidden voyeurism.
He is good at analyzing people's hearts and knows that Cons doesn't have any special feelings for Isna. Cons's happiness is to be able to learn.
When he heard Cons naturally say that he was illiterate, Palu fell in love with this straightforward young man. Unfortunately, because of his identity, he still had to plot against him. Who told Isna to have a good impression of him? Although this is Isna's one-sided problem, with his master's personality, he will definitely not let Cons go.
Paru was really surprised by Isna's performance. He didn't expect that Isna, who is famous for her coldness, would have such a performance. Although Isna has not yet noticed her feelings for Cons, it will definitely spark if she continues to develop like this.
Palu knew that once a woman as outstanding as Isna left a shadow of a man in her heart, she would be for the rest of her life. In order not to let that shadow be engraved, she could only act as soon as possible.
"Master, come quickly, otherwise I dare not act casually! Alas... I hope it will be too late." Palu sighed in his heart as he looked at Cons's back, because he knew that Cons would become a corpse soon.
Although he didn't have any contact with Cons, a hint of unbearableness suddenly surged in his heart. This feeling made him feel shocked, and cold sweat came out from his forehead. He quickly covered up his mood, said goodbye to Cons and hid back into the room.
Not long after, another white dove appeared in the sky and flew into the distance.
Ida was happy for his superiors, and followed Cons with a smile along the way.
Because he kept asking questions when he saw Cons, Cons had to tell him what he did when he went in. After all, Ida was his personal captain.
Ida didn't expect that his commander would be received by the great priest, and the great priest actually wanted to be the commander's teacher. He had never heard of any general who had such an honor. "Haha, you can show off when you go back." Ida was sincerely happy for Cons.
The personal soldiers and the superiors share honor and disgrace. When the superiors are promoted, most of these personal soldiers will hold some official positions. When the superiors are rewarded, they all have a great deal. Of course, when the superiors are blinked, they will also be in trouble.
Many generals had their former identities, including generals and personal soldiers.
In Qihong Kingdom, the general's personal soldiers are guaranteed by the future general. Therefore, many nobles sent their sons to the command of famous generals as personal soldiers.
Like Gula's son, he was promoted not long after his father's command. Of course, he needed a powerful and capable noble son. Other ordinary nobles, especially civilians, had to wait for the opportunity obediently.
But don't think it's safe to be a personal soldier.
In the war, the brave general's personal soldiers also died the fastest. Therefore, those who were selected as personal soldiers must not only expect their superiors to be not brave men, but also expect their superiors to be a victorious general. In this way, they can be promoted easily. I wonder if Cons' personal soldiers will be so lucky?
"Sir, where are you going?" Ida saw that Cons did not walk towards the palace, but walked on the street, and asked strangely. Isn't the adult's home in the palace? Moreover, this is not a place to go to the recruit camp.
"Military Department." Cons used to expressing his meaning in concise sentences, even if he spoke to his personal soldiers.
"Uh..." Before Ida could speak, Cons had already arrived at the heavily guarded Qihong National Army headquarters.
In fact, the military headquarters is very close to the palace. Cons noticed it when he went to the horse farm in the morning, so this time he didn't have to ask anyone to know where it was.
The military headquarters could not enter casually, so Ida had to stay at the door, watching Cons go up the steps, and ask the two guards what they were doing.
Ida was surprised to find that the two guards who had seen Cons's team uniform, who were just a slight salute, suddenly became very respectful after Cons talked to them. He nodded and said something to Cons, and then watched Cons enter.
Seeing the sudden change of the guards, Ida couldn't help but wonder what the commander said to them? What did the proud military guards become respectful? He just heard the two guards muttering something, curiously taking a few steps forward, and pricking up their ears to listen.
"Wow, I didn't expect that he was Lord Cons, I really can't tell!"
"Yes, I didn't expect the legendary God of War to be so inconspicuous."
"Hey, why did Lord Cons suddenly have this nickname? Didn't he say he is the god of death?" the guard asked strangely.
The guard shook his fingers and said with an unspeakable expression: "Stupid, the god of death is the enemy, and of course we ourselves are talking about the god of war."
"Yes, the title of God of War is delicious. You can kill thousands of enemies with your own strength. This title is truly worthy of."
"Shh, whisper, the sir seems to have objections to Lord Cons and don't let us talk nonsense everywhere."
"I understand, but Lord Cons is so majestic, how could he be just a team leader?"
"Oh, Lord Cons didn't know what to do, but he actually used his noble status to exchange for the opportunity to learn."
"Ah... no! I really don't understand him..." The two guards said this and didn't say it anymore because Cons came out.
The two guards saluted in panic. They were afraid that Cons would hear their conversation. When they saw Cons bowed and left, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Ida, who was stunned, couldn't help but show an admiration when he saw Cons. He didn't expect that his commander would have such a majestic history.
But he didn't dare to say anything. Just after getting along this day, he knew that Cons was a person who didn't like Zhang Yang.
"Ida, you go back to the recruits camp first to rest. I will go by myself tomorrow morning, so I don't need to pick me up." Cons came to the palace gate and said to Ida.
And Ida knew that the palace was not something he could enter at will, so he nodded.
When he wanted to turn around and leave, Cons stopped him again: "Ida, help me find a place in the recruit camp tomorrow. I just went to the military headquarters to ask for the palace. They said they would report to the princess and wait for the princess to agree, but I think I should be able to leave tomorrow. Please trouble you."
Cons explained this because he suddenly thought that these things should be known to his own soldiers so that they would not feel that they did not trust them.
Ida opened his mouth, he was a little confused now. What scary thing did Cons not let him know?
It was scary to live in the palace, but now when I move out of the palace, I actually need the princess’ consent? But Ida nodded immediately to show that he knew. He decided to go back and scare his partner.
When the princess received a report from the military headquarters that Cons asked to leave the palace, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly agreed.
She knew that it would be best for a soldier like Cons to be with soldiers, at least to make Cons no longer live alone.
Although she knew Cons was living alone, for some reason, she was unwilling to send her maid to take care of him.
Night fell and the whole city slowly fell into darkness.
In Palu's room, the lights were still on in the middle of the night, and Palu was taking a note from the tired-looking white dove's feet.
Palu hurriedly opened and looked carefully. After seeing the beginning, he whispered to himself: "Master has set out, so the master can't accept the white dove today?"
He continued to watch and suddenly couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "What!"
Palu quickly covered her mouth and looked around. After a long time, she found that no one heard it, so she continued to watch. In fact, he was too nervous. The room was closed tightly and it was midnight. Who would hear the low voice?
Palu lit the note with the light, watched it burn to ashes, and then sighed in a low voice, thinking, "The master is too impatient, but judging from today's situation, it is not a prescient vision.
"The master was also very nervous about Lord Isna's unusual behavior. Yes, when Lord Isna was with those princes and nobles in the past, he did not act like this now."
Palu opened the window, looked at the dark night sky and sighed: "Oh, Lord Cons, this can only blame you for being in bad luck..."
In the early morning, although the breakfast shop in the city was already open, there were not many customers.
After enjoying the meal comfortably, Cons, who was used to getting up early, came to the military horse parking lot, used his identity to ask for a horse, strolled out of the city, and ran towards the direction of the recruit camp.
Cons knew that equestrianism was the same as martial arts. If he didn't practice it a day, he would go back three days, so he took every opportunity to practice equestrianism. When he ran into the woods, Cons suddenly felt a murderous aura shrouded around him.
This is a sense of danger, and this feeling has been encountered by Cons many times on the battlefield.
Without thinking, Cons jumped off the horse's back suddenly, and two arrows shot at the horse's back for a few swishes, of course they were lost.
The other two arrows were inserted into the saddle, and the horse was not actually hit by the arrow. It can be seen how accurate the opponent's archery is, and the targets are all aimed at the rider's position.
Cons got off the horse's back and immediately rolled on the spot, hid in the woods. After the horse lost its owner, he still ran towards the fixed destination without looking back.
Cons quietly wiped his cold sweat. He was wondering why someone would assassinate him? Although the military headquarters was not in harmony with him, he should not find someone to assassinate him? So who is it?
Don’t talk about offending anyone, there are not many people he knows. He really doesn’t understand who came to him, and he can’t be a robber, right?
Now is not the time to think about who the enemy is. The horse has already run away and there is no chance to escape. It seems that only by destroying the enemy can one be safe.
He noticed that there were four murderous people hiding in the surrounding forest, but he did not know the exact location of the other party.
When Cons touched his body, he realized that he was not carrying a weapon, so he had to hold his troops temporarily.
Cons gritted his teeth and thought to see who can't hold it in the first place. At this time, Cons suddenly felt very strange. Now his ears and ears suddenly became sensitive, and even the sound of the little bugs jumping could be heard, and his whole body was full of strength.
Only then did I remember that I had never felt this long-lost feeling since I left the battlefield and came to the capital with the princess.
Cons smiled helplessly: It’s a shameful life for you, and it’s suitable to live in danger.
A gust of wind blew, causing the branches to sway and the leaves to rustle.
Cons moved his position slowly, silently and quickly through this voice. As soon as he moved away, four arrows were shot in the place where he was.
Cons almost shot himself, and the green arrows inserted at his feet couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the other party was just archery skills, and the skills of hiding and endurance were not enough.
He quietly pulled up the arrow and touched the enemy's place where he was exposed.
Cons was able to see the killer, and saw the guy squatting in the jungle, holding a crossbow with all his concentration, aiming at the place he was just here.
As the distance got closer, Cons could see that the killer's mask was soaked, and his two wide and fierce eyes began to feel tired, and they were about to blink.
Finally, the killer could not bear such waiting, and a bead of sweat flowed into his eyes. He couldn't help but let go of one of the hand holding the crossbow to wipe his eyes.
Cons was waiting for such an opportunity and then rushed towards the man like a leopard.
Hearing the sound, the man turned his head suddenly and moved the crossbow over, but when he saw the green arrow in Cons's hand, he couldn't help but look panicked because he knew that he had reacted too late.
Just as he was about to shout, the cold arrow had already pierced into his throat. He could only make a faint giggle with his throat and rolled his eyes.
