Chapter Fifteen

  Tang Yin in another world

  Up to now, Tang Yin still didn't take the so-called military achievements too seriously. He originally didn't belong to the army and only wore a dead soldier's uniform by chance. He casually said: "Isn't it counted as one head in the army? That person's head can't be found."

  "It doesn't matter, having a military ID is the same, and there are so many brothers to testify!" Qiu Zhen smiled and handed the military ID to Tang Yin. The latter did not take it, but instead looked up and said: "Just put it away for now." As he spoke, he looked at the other people, where more than 30 Fengguo soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, some collecting weapons, others rummaging through food and supplies, and still others herding together the captured Ningguo prisoners and mercilessly beheading them...

  Qiu Zhenshun followed Tang Yin's gaze and smiled, saying: "Tang big brother, it seems that our helper has increased again, now we can form a small team!" Unconsciously, his way of addressing Tang Yin had changed.

  Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen lay in ambush on both sides of the road, originally intending to rob the military horses. However, after a day's work, they did not get any military horses, but instead gathered several batches of defeated Wind Country soldiers who were fleeing. By nightfall, the number of people they had gathered exceeded 100.

  So many people gathered together, can't be without military discipline. Tang Yin didn't care, but Qiu Zhen couldn't ignore it. He divided the more than 100 soldiers into four small teams and selected four veteran soldiers as temporary team leaders for each team. As for the commander, it naturally fell on Tang Yin's shoulders, while he himself became the deputy commander.

  He had been in the army for a long time, but unfortunately he was always an ordinary soldier. Now that he has more than 100 men under him, he finally got to taste the joy of being an official, and this feeling made him quite enjoyable.

  Seeing him busy and carefree, Tang Yin couldn't get excited. The more people there were, the less adaptable he became to those who had long been accustomed to coming and going alone. He didn't have Qiu Zhen's joy, only a feeling that he had a big burden on his back that he couldn't shake off.

  The Wind Country has been defeated, and the River East region is now the territory of the Ning Country. They are in a precarious situation here, where they can encounter the main forces of the Ning Country at any time. With just over a hundred people, they might not even be enough to fill the gaps between the enemy's teeth.

  Tang Yin recalled the scene when he was trapped in the mountain valley, and the cruel and brutal scenes were still fresh in his memory. In front of the neat army, life was as fragile as withered grass. Even if his spiritual cultivation was high, it would be impossible for him to fight against the army.

  At this time, looking at Qiu Zhen who was chatting with the four temporary team leaders, Tang Yin walked up and pulled Qiu Zhen aside, asking in a low voice: "Do we still want to go back to Tongmen?"

  "Of course."

  Tang Yin said: "But you've gathered so many people, where can we find that many horses?"

  Qiu Zhen scratched his head innocently and said, "That's what you say, but we can't just abandon them to die, can we? For now, let's take it one step at a time. We'll walk back to Tongmen and see if we can find any opportunities along the way."

  He said reluctantly, but Tang Yin really couldn't see that he had a reluctant look, on the contrary, he was enjoying himself.

  He sighed, shook his head helplessly and said, "Do as you please!" As he was about to leave, Qiu Zhen hastily grabbed his sleeve and laughed, "The captains of the four teams have already been chosen, why don't you get to know them first?"

  Tang Yin was pulled by Qiu Zhen and walked up to the four squad leaders.

  These four people are Zhang Bao, Zhong Zhen, Yu Hua and Li Yu. Tang Yin is quite familiar with Zhang Bao, but very unfamiliar with the other three. However, Zhong Zhen and the others, like Zhang Bao, have a very respectful attitude towards Tang Yin, having long heard about how he single-handedly took down an enemy general.

  "Brother Tang!" Seeing Tang Yin come over, the four of them bowed in unison.

  They were so polite that Tang Yin was somewhat unaccustomed to it, his mouth twitching as he forced a smile and nodded at the four of them.

  "It's really hard to tell, but Brother Tang is a master of Lingwu!" Zhong Zhen said straightforwardly.

  Judging by his appearance, Tang Yin is no different from ordinary people. He wears the clothes of an ordinary soldier, with a handsome face and a smiling face, but it seems like he's just pretending to smile. When you get close to him, he gives off a cold and icy feeling.

  "That's for sure, following Brother Tang will never go wrong." Tang Yin was silent and taciturn, but with Qiu Zhen around, the atmosphere would never be dull. He took over the conversation and continued, "We'll rest for a night and set off at dawn tomorrow to Tongmen, does anyone have any objections?"

  "No objection!" Zhang Bao and the other three nodded in unison.

  Qiu Zhen said: "Then tonight's patrol task will be handed over to Brother Zhang, you are in charge of arranging personnel for sentry duty."

  Zhang Bao's face turned serious and he said firmly: "Yes!"

  Qiu Zhen said to Zhong Zhen, "Brother Zhong, take the brothers to collect as much food and water as possible. The road to Tongmen is treacherous, and we don't know what will happen along the way, so we need to make more preparations."

  "No problem, I'll take care of it!" Zhong Zhen replied.

  Tang Yin sat to the side, watching and nodding secretly. Although Qiu Zhen had a smooth tongue, he was still able to handle things in an orderly and comprehensive manner, even if placed in his previous world, he could be considered a rare talent.

  He lifted his head and gazed up at the night sky, which was dull and dimly lit. He said in a low voice, "Everyone should get some rest early, tomorrow's road may be difficult to walk."

  "What did you say?"

  Tang Yin said calmly: "It will rain tomorrow."

  As Tang Yin said, on the next day at dawn, just after everyone had set off, the sky began to drizzle with a fine misty rain.

  This kind of drizzle is much more annoying than a downpour, falling continuously without knowing when it will stop. The sky is overcast with dark clouds, like a huge boulder weighing on one's heart, making people feel an indescribable oppression.

  As it approached noon, the road became increasingly muddy and the crowd's pace slowed down. Walking in the rain was exhausting and slow, it could be said that it was a waste of energy, but no one dared to stop, being in a dangerous situation, delaying for another second would add another share of danger.

  The rain is getting heavier and heavier, while everyone is walking away with hunger and fatigue.

  Qiu Zhen panted beside him, and Tang Yin turned his head to ask: "Tired?"

  How is it possible not to be tired? Looking at Tang Yin's face, which was neither red nor panting, Qiu Zhen suspected that he was not a human being but a monster. After rushing for an entire morning, his face didn't even show a hint of fatigue. He sighed and said, "Brother Tang, it's not just me, the brothers are all exhausted!"

  Tang Yin turned his head and took a look. Indeed, the soldiers were all listless, hanging their heads low and mechanically lifting their legs.

  In Tang Yin's world, no one would care about him, and he wouldn't take the initiative to care about others. If it weren't for Qiu Zhen reminding him, he really hadn't noticed that the soldiers were already exhausted.

  Tang Yin stopped in his tracks, raised his arm and turned around, shouting: "Halt! Rest on the spot!"

  "It's just you." As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, Qiu Zhen couldn't care about anything else and sat down on the side of the road with a thud. He took out his water bottle and gulped down a big mouthful. After taking a few deep breaths, feeling a bit more comfortable, he said: "We should have walked 30 or 40 miles this morning, right?"

  Tang Yin glanced at him, not knowing how Qiu had calculated it, and said firmly: "At most twenty miles, at this speed, let alone three days, even if we walk for ten days, I'm afraid we won't reach Tongmen."

  "Alas!" Qiu Zhen threw his hands behind his head, and his body naturally leaned back, lying on the ground, looking at the hazy sky, and laughed: "The sky is not beautiful, I have no way to do it. But let's put it this way, we're moving slowly, Ning people won't get there quickly either, everyone is in the same boat!"

  Tang Yin made no comment, took out a piece of rabbit meat and started eating it slowly.

  Because there was no seasoning, the rabbit meat didn't taste good and had a strange, astringent flavor that was hard to swallow. But Tang Yin wasn't picky about his food; as long as it could fill his belly, he could eat even a pile of dry hay, one mouthful at a time.

  After eating two mouthfuls, Tang Yin suddenly remembered something and beckoned to Zhang Bao, who was not far away. The latter saw the situation and hurried over, asking respectfully: "Tang Dage, what's up?" This was the first time Tang Yin had taken the initiative to find him, and Zhang Bao spoke with caution.

  "Get some brothers to go out and keep watch, ensure safety within a one-mile radius."

  Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and was about to leave when Tang Yin called him back and said: "From now on, if the resting time exceeds five minutes, immediately dispatch brothers to be on guard and ensure that there will be no sudden appearance of enemies within at least one mile."

  "It's...understood!" The words were said, but Zhang Bao didn't leave, looking at Tang Yin with difficulty.

  Tang Yin asked back: "Is there anything else?"
