Central Plains, Star Billow City.
Kacha...
Kacha...
A car covered in mud came at an extremely fast speed. When it approached the city gate, it suddenly stopped.
The car was too fast. The moment the brakes were applied, the tires rubbed against the ground violently, emitting a burning smell.
Fortunately, it stopped steadily and did not hurt anyone.
The driver was Qin Lan.
Qin Lan held the steering wheel and looked at the towering city wall and the two words 'Xinglan' on it. She raised her eyebrows slightly and muttered to herself," I'm finally home. I haven't been home for almost a year. I wonder how things have changed at home?" Was the fish pond that his father was going to build completed?”
"If it's built, I'll have to experience the joy of fishing.”
He cultivated in Maoshan. Other than returning home for the Spring Festival, he spent the rest of his time in Maoshan Sect.
In other words, there were only a few days of vacation in a year.
Now that he had been expelled from the Maoshan Sect, he would be living in the Central Plains in the future. This made him feel extremely emotional.
As he spoke, he slowly stepped on the accelerator and drove into the city.
When they passed by the checkpoint at the city gate, a soldier carrying a standard rifle reached out and stopped the car covered in mud in front of him.
"Sir, please show your identification."
This soldier knew that people who could own a car were either rich or noble. Usually, such a car would be allowed to pass and would not make things too difficult for the other party.
However, the car in front of him was covered in mud.
This made him suspicious.
Kacha...
Kacha...
Qin Lan was very cooperative. She rolled down the window, took out her ID and handed it to the other party. She asked casually," Why don't I see Old Zhuo? Wasn't he usually on duty at this time?”
Old Zhuo was Wang Zhuo, the chief of the inspection station at the eastern city gate.
Every time he came back, he would meet Wang Zhuo, who was good at talking and doing things. As time passed, they became familiar with each other.
The soldier took the document and said bluntly," Station Chief Wang Zhuo has been promoted. He's now in charge of the economic order of the West City Urban area. This is a lucrative job. I'm so envious of him.”
"Oh? Promoted? This is pretty good."
" Of course, it's good. I heard that he got close to Young Marshal Qin Lan. Otherwise, how could he be promoted…"
Before the soldier could finish speaking, his voice stopped abruptly, as if his throat had been choked and he could not speak.
He flipped open the documents in front of him.
On the ID card, there were two big words,'Qin Lan'.
On this document, there was a seal of the marshal's residence.
Gulp...
When the soldier saw this, he swallowed hard and hurriedly handed the document back with both hands. He said respectfully," I didn't know that you were back, Major. Please forgive me. I…I…"
At this moment, he was too excited and stuttered incoherently.
Qin Lan took the documents and waved her hand." It's okay. I came back suddenly. You can continue your routine inspection. I won't take up any more of your time."”
"Yes, yes, Major. Please wait a moment.”
Then, under the instruction of the soldier, a few soldiers moved the fence blocking the city gate to make way for the city.
In response, Qin Lan released the brake and shifted the gear. Just as she was about to step on the accelerator, the soldier came out of the window again and winked at her." Young Marshal, I see that your car is so dirty. Why don't you drive the military car back and leave this car here? I'll wash it for you and send it back to you."”
As he spoke, he revealed a hint of anticipation and excitement.
Major?
This was the Central Prefecture's Young Marshal.
With an ordinary soldier like him, how could he have the opportunity to come into contact with a figure like the young marshal? In his eyes, the Young Marshal was equivalent to the former Crown Prince.
Now, he had to perform well.
As long as he could be appreciated by the Young Marshal, he could be promoted and get a raise like Wang Zhuo.
How could Qin Lan not know what the other party was thinking?
In response, Qin Lan looked straight at the soldier and questioned," If you go to wash my car, then who's on duty? If something happens, can you afford it?”
"Abandoning your post without permission is a punishment under military law. If it's light, you'll be given 30 strokes of the cane, and if it's serious, you'll be shot.”
Although his voice was soft, he was not angry.
Instantly, a cold air rose from the soles of the soldier's feet to the top of his head, causing him to break out in cold sweat, which soaked his clothes.
In this hot afternoon, he felt a chill.
It was because a few simple words from Young Marshal Qin Lan had caused him to feel as if he was hovering between life and death.
"Young…Young Marshal, I…"
Pa…
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Lan took out a cigarette from the car and stuffed it into the soldier's pocket. She patted the soldier's shoulder and said softly," I appreciate your kindness, but you have to stick to your post. Here's a cigarette for you. Give a few to your brothers."”
When the soldier heard this, he touched his pocket again and nodded like a chick pecking at rice." Yes, Young Marshal. Young Marshal is right. I was not considerate enough. Please rest assured, Young Marshal. I will definitely fulfill my duty and stand at my post. I will never let bad people enter and leave the city easily. Please rest assured, Young Marshal."”
Qin Lan nodded in relief. She rolled up the window, stepped on the accelerator, and drove straight into the city.
A slap!
A sweet date!
It was a very simple method of controlling people.
In this way, he won over the hearts of the people.
At this moment, the soldier touched his pocket that contained cigarettes and looked at the gradually disappearing carriage of Marshal Qin Lan. He revealed an excited smile." Brothers, Marshal has given us cigarettes. Come…come, one for each of us."
