Lin Xi almost stayed up all night.

His speed in entering meditation practice is the fastest among all freshmen in Qingluan Academy.

Before nightfall, he completely covered Wanyan Muye's wounds with a large amount of plant ash, buried anything that might emit the smell of blood, and placed it in a place with thick snow in the forest.

They built an igloo according to the method taught by Qingluan Academy in the course. In the dark night in the wilderness forest, even if the talented student from Thunder Academy walked by them, it would be difficult to find their traces.

.

However, worries about Gao Yanan and Helan Yuexi's beast-like sense of smell made him enter the state of meditative practice intermittently for less than half an hour during the first half of the night when it was his turn to rest and practice.

This night was extremely long.

The night has not completely faded away, and the first ray of dawn has not yet descended on the Dentian Mountains.

Wanyan Muye, who was tightly bound with tree vines and faced with a large number of dead leaves, was in a coma due to severe injuries and weakness. However, the practitioner's constitution kept his breath stable and there was no immediate concern for his life.

Bian Linghan, who knew nothing, was still meditating and practicing.

Suddenly, his whole body became tense. Because of the tension, in such a cold environment, a layer of fine beads of sweat actually appeared on the palms of his hands.

He heard some unusual noises.

Through the ventilation hole and peephole on the igloo that was half sunk in the snow, Lin Xi saw a figure wearing a gray prison uniform.

Thinking of what Wanyan Muye said earlier, Lin Xi, who didn't even dare to breathe heavily, couldn't tell whether this was a real prisoner or a student from Thunder College pretending to be the prisoner.

But I saw this figure in a gray prison uniform trembling in the forest, peeling off pieces of spruce bark, taking out a thin layer of fiber from it, putting it into his mouth, chewing it, and swallowing it hard.

When he went down and carefully put the bark back to its original place, he was already sure that this was a real prisoner.

Thinking that the previous deliberate search did not find any trace of the prisoner, but now a prisoner happened to run near the igloo where he was, Lin Xi felt that the world was really full of unspeakable joys and sorrows.

Because he and Bian Linghan's cultivation level did not have to worry about the backlash caused by the soul power agitation, he gently tapped the long sword next to Bian Linghan's ear, causing it to make a slight sound of gold and iron, making Bian Linghan

Ling Han woke up from his meditation state.

After making a gesture to Bian Linghan, he quietly pushed aside a pile of snow and got out of the igloo.

When he was only about twenty steps away from the prisoner, the prisoner suddenly sensed something, trembled all over, and then turned around stiffly.

This was a face that was slightly blue from the cold. He looked about forty or fifty years old, with a few strands of long beard that had the aura of a scribe, and his hair looked extremely dry and gray.

Lin Xi immediately put her finger up in front of her mouth, making a silent gesture.

"I am a student of Qingluan College, and I am here to save you." Almost at the same time, he lowered his voice and said this to the prisoner immediately.

The prisoner, whose lips were pouting and silent for a moment, immediately closed his mouth and nodded.

"Are you not a cultivator?" Looking at the prisoner whose neck was bruised by the cold, and seeing some pine leaves tied to his feet, his eyes suddenly turned cold, "Are you here?"

Have you ever been in the military?”

The prisoner who looked like a scribe nodded, as if he could see Lin Xi's doubts, and whispered: "Before I was imprisoned, I was a military doctor in the Biluo Border Army."

"follow me."

Lin Xi looked at the trembling prisoner and nodded, "Put on my armor." After bringing the prisoner into the igloo, he took off his light armor and signaled.

The prisoner is replaced.

He didn't have any deep intention for this, just because the light armor on his body was warmer after all, and the prisoner's physical condition probably wouldn't be able to survive in the snow for too long.

But the light armor carrying his body temperature was extraordinarily warm to the prisoner at this time. An extremely touched look appeared on his face, even though he could only curl up in this snow house, he

Instead, he immediately bowed to Lin Xi and thanked her solemnly: "Wang Jianyu, what do you call me sir?"

"Sir?" Lin Xi was stunned.

"According to the Yunqin system, students from Qingluan College will have military ranks when they go out." Bian Linghan reminded Lin Xi.

Only then did Wang Jianyu regain his breath and come back to his senses. When he saw Wanyan Muye curled up beside him, his expression changed slightly. He reached out and put his hand on Wanyan Muye's wrist, and then said:

He said with some hesitation: "Sir, with all due respect, your partner has already suffered internal organ damage. If he cannot be treated with effective medicine within two days, even if he can be saved, the hidden injuries in his body may not be recovered.

"

"I don't understand whether our names should be kept secret, so you don't need to know our names." Lin Xi looked at Wang Jianyu, then at Wanyan Muye, and said: "This sounds a bit cruel, but I don't want to

I'm lying to you, this is a student from Thunder College, not from our Qingluan College, and he wants to kill us first. Before we can ensure our own safety and the safety of others in our Qingluan College, I really

We cannot care too much about his life and death."

Wang Jianyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded to express his understanding.

"I don't think you are a vicious person. How could you become Yunqin's death row?" Bian Linghan looked at him and asked in a low voice with a slight frown. Even though it could be seen that the other person was not a practitioner, she felt that at least

You also need to know something about the other party to avoid any adverse threats to yourself and Lin Xi.

There was a slight silence in the igloo for a moment.

Wang Jianyu's bruised face became even darker, but he looked at Lin Xi and Bian Linghan and said, "I killed someone, three people. One of them was Ling Chang."

Lin Xi glanced at Bian Linghan: "What is the official position of Chief Ling?"

Bian Linghan said: "Noon Si Cong is the ninth rank." It seemed that Lin Xi really didn't know much about Yunqin's official rank, so she explained in Lin Xi's ear: "The governor is the eighth rank. Students from our three major colleges come out normally.

It’s from the eighth grade. It’s actually two steps higher than from the ninth grade.”

Lin Xi knew that ever since the late Emperor Yun Qin followed some of Dean Zhang's ideas and formed the Eight Divisions, Yun Qin's official system and names had always been somewhat stale, and were different from any dynasty he had studied in the world before.

But Bian Linghan's explanation was very clear to him. He was only two ranks lower than the regular graduates of the three major colleges. For ordinary soldiers, it was obvious that he was already a high-ranking official.

"Why did you kill the military commander?" Bian Linghan looked at Wang Jianyu and continued to ask: "Is it because of collaboration with the enemy?"

Wang Jianyu shook his head: "Once our team encountered a raid while performing a mission. Two of my partners and I escaped with serious injuries. It was a family of border residents who saved us. But later when we went back to thank the border residents, we

But we found that all five members of the border villagers' family were killed. Later we tried to check the records. According to the records, there was only one battle record during that period... but according to the records, two captains and two attendants were killed there.

There are five enemies."

Bian Linghan's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked at Wang Jianyu: "You mean those four people killed the border people and pretended to take military merit?"

"All the evidence confirms this." Wang Jianyu smiled miserably: "But after we reported the matter, the answer given above was that there was no evidence that the people they killed were border residents. One of the captains even

Because he had enough military merit, he was promoted to captain of the right wing. Moreover, we were once surrounded by a group of masked men at night and beaten violently. I had two ribs broken."

"Because my popularity in the army is pretty good. An old border military commander came to me specifically and told me in a vague way that among the several units of our Biluo border army, some of them killed some refugees and even settled border residents to pretend to be military merits.

Things often happen, and this is related to the overall military merits above, so it is a nest from top to bottom... Logically speaking, I can no longer interfere with this matter, but my life was given to me by that family. I will

When I closed my eyes, I dreamed that the family wanted me to take revenge. So I later found an opportunity to apologize and prepared some medicine. Unfortunately, three people came, and the one who was promoted to the right wing leader did not come.

"

"It seems that Yunqin's frontier troops are not so bright either." Lin Xi looked at Wang Jianyu's expression carefully, and after hearing this, shook his head and said.

"Where are the military priests?" Bian Linghan became a little excited, with an angry blush on his face. "If the facts are confirmed, you can go to the military priests."

Lin Xi patted Bian Linghan on the shoulder. Unlike Bian Linghan, who had not yet been exposed to much of the dark side, he could already imagine how much darkness could be bred under the huge bureaucracy. He said softly: "This is already the case. As long as

If we can take him out safely, we can grant him amnesty. It is useless to think about anything else."

Bian Linghan stopped talking, but her shoulders were still trembling slightly. She still couldn't figure out how, inspired by the majesty of the Holy Emperor and the faith of so many priests in Yunqin, among the dignified regular border troops of Yunqin, there could still be

Such dark things happen.

Lin Xi knew what Bian Linghan was thinking, and he knew even better that his other friend Li Kaiyun would be even more incomprehensible after knowing such a thing.

"If what you are telling the truth is true, I will ask the college lecturer to give you an explanation for the five people who died. Even if even the college lecturer cannot give you an explanation, I will give you an explanation as long as I have the ability from now on." Lin Xi looked at it.

Looking at Wang Jianyu, he said: "But now what we have to consider is how to deal with the students of Thunder College. First of all, we must ensure that we can get out of here alive."

Glancing at Wang Jianyu, who was saluting solemnly again, Lin Xi continued: "Have you found any traces of other people in the past two days?"
