Chronicles of Celestial Origins

After some discussion, everyone left. At midnight the next day, Tangning rang the wind chime in front of the team's meeting room.

Not long after, several monks arrived one after another. There were nine people in total. In addition to the four monks from the second team, there were also five monks from the first team.

Due to the serious casualties among the teams under the alliance, the two teams were merged into one team to facilitate management. The original captain of the first team was killed, so he took charge of the affairs of the two teams.

"Everyone is here. I have called you here today to discuss an important matter that affects our own interests..."

Tang Ning recounted the news she heard from Pan Xian.

After hearing this, several people were filled with indignation and expressed their dissatisfaction one after another.

"We can't let them slaughter us. Our headquarters has contacted other teams to appeal to the legion meeting hall and strive for the meritorious rewards they deserve. If you are willing to go with us, be prepared to set off at 10:00 in two days. If you are not willing to go, Don’t force it. When the coalition forces change their minds and award meritorious service, don’t complain if it’s not your share.”

"Juniors will obey the orders of seniors."

"Junior, I obey."

Several people spoke in response.

"Since you are all willing to fight for it, well, let's gather here the day after tomorrow and set off together. We should keep this matter as secret as possible and don't let it leak out."

………

Two days passed by in a flash, and in front of the alliance meeting hall, various teams gathered one after another.

In the hall, the captains and stewards of each team, including the captains of each team, gathered together, but Jiang Huan was not on the main seat.

Tang Ning was sitting behind Pan Xian, surrounded by Nascent Soul cultivators from the headquarters.

As time went by, several more brigades entered one after another. After about a quarter of an hour, a group of people from the fourth brigade finally entered. The leader said hello to the commanders of each brigade and sat down below.

At this time, a man with a leopard head and ape arms stood up. He was Shen Jian, the captain of the Ninth Brigade. He was also a disciple of Taixuan Sect. He said: "Everyone is here. We are going to the Legion Meeting Hall to appeal this time. To be fair, everyone should not cause trouble. When they got there, they just sat quietly in front of the palace and waited for the legion to send someone to deal with it. If you have any objections, you can raise them now. "

No one raised any objections.

"Since everyone has no objections, let's set off!"

Everyone stood up and filed out after him. Outside the hall, disciples from various teams were already waiting here.

"Let's go." I don't know who shouted, and many escaping lights rose into the sky. Tangning followed behind, and the mighty team of hundreds of people headed south.

…

In the majestic and majestic cave, a man pushed open the door and entered, bowing to the old man sitting cross-legged inside and saluting: "Greetings, Uncle Master."

"What's up?"

"In front of the legion meeting hall, many low-level monks from the headquarters came and sat in a group. There were about a thousand people. They asked to see the top brass of the legion."

The old man frowned slightly: "Is there such a thing? Who are they?"

"They are the Allied monks who were on the front line of Longhua City. My disciple has already inquired about them. These people are all monks of the seventh column. I heard that the Allied forces are not going to distribute their rewards for their achievements, so I came here to ask for an explanation."

"Nonsense." The old man shouted in a low voice: "Let them all go back. If they behave like this again, arrest all the leaders. Isn't the Legion Assembly Hall a place for them to be arrogant?"

"Yes, disciple, please leave." The man responded, left the cave, and soon came to a large hall. At that time, the front of the hall was surrounded by monks, all sitting neatly.

The man escaped from the light and said loudly: "By the order of the commander of our army, I order you all to go back and not to cause trouble."

After everyone heard this, they looked at each other, but no one moved. Tang Ning saw that no one else got up, and she stood still.

"Are you going to disobey me?" The man shouted sternly when no one responded.

"Senior, I'm here to complain to the legion. I hope the legion will give me a reply." At this time, a burly man among the crowd replied.

"Who are you?" The man looked at him.

"Junior Seventh Column, Seventh Regiment, Third Battalion, Feng Yuan."

The man took a step forward and came to him. His eyes were like eagles and he said sternly: "Feng Yuan, the legion commander ordered you to leave immediately. Do you want to disobey?"

Feng Yuan saw his sharp eyes, looked at the people around him, and whispered: "Junior dare not disobey."

"What about you? Do you want to disobey?" The man turned to look at the other person beside him.

"Junior doesn't dare." He responded immediately.

The man's sharp gaze swept over the crowd: "Without any superior arrangements, you privately formed a team to surround the legion meeting hall. Your behavior today can be classified as a riot, and the coalition forces have the right to detain and convict you all."

"I remember that you fought bravely on the front line and resisted the rebels. With little hard work, it was your first time to make a mistake. The army has issued a special decree to forgive you for this crime. You will not be lenient if you do it next time."

"Now I order you to leave immediately. Anyone who dares to disobey will be captured immediately. Those with the highest cultivation level will be punished first."

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Faced with the strong pressure from the senior monks, no one dared to speak out, especially the commanders of the brigade. Take action on them.

Under such circumstances, naturally no one dared to stand up to the thunder. Only one monk after another stood up and turned into light and fled away. The mighty team of hundreds of people turned back the same way, each returning to his headquarters.

…

At night, in front of the majestic cave, two escaping lights came out, and two figures appeared. They entered the inner room one after the other. The person in the lead was tall and tall, and the person behind them had slightly white temples. They were the seventh column. Inspector Jiang Huan of the Sixth Regiment.

The two came to the first hall, where two other monks were sitting. They were Inspector Fengxian of the Fourth Regiment of the Seventh Column and Wang Yue, the deputy captain of the Eighth Regiment.

"Please three fellow Taoists, please wait a moment while I call Master Qin." After saying this, the man turned and left.

Jiang Huan and the two of them nodded and took their seats on the left side.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are here too. It seems that Senior Qin is here for us in exchange for today's events." Wang Yue said.

Fengxian said: "I don't know what the attitude of the higher-ups is. I heard that Taoist friend Huang Jian, who was directly under the column, was very rude when he dispersed the people who complained, and threatened to arrest and convict those who took the lead in making trouble. Do they think what happened today is Are we instigating this?"

"No matter what happens, we can't escape our involvement in this kind of thing. However, since Senior Qin summoned us to his cave, it at least means that the higher-ups are aware of the situation. If they really want to get angry, they won't have this attitude."

"What Fellow Daoist Jiang said is, once you come, make peace with it. Senior Qin will naturally know when he comes later."

A few people chatted and waited for a long time. They heard footsteps outside and a middle-aged man walked in slowly. The three of them quickly stood up and saluted: "I have met Senior Qin."

The man came to sit down and waved his hand: "No need to be polite, just sit down!"

"Thank you, senior." The three of them took their seats as instructed. "I invited you here because of what happened in the legion meeting hall this morning. You must all know it!"

The three of them looked at each other, and Fengxian responded: "Senior, we are not behind this plan. The people below contacted them themselves. I don't know who spread the news, saying that our column did not declare their meritorious service rewards. Therefore, everyone was unwilling to give up, so they got entangled and went to the legion to complain. We only found out after the fact. I hope our seniors will understand. "

The man surnamed Qin glanced at him: "Knowing it after the fact? I'm afraid this is not true! The joint action of so many people, I heard from the disciples who were on duty today, there were thousands of people, except for those in charge of the alliance and above, basically Everyone is involved. As the actual commander of the unit, don’t you know anything about it beforehand? Do you think the above are all fools?”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them could not sit still and stood up one after another. Jiang Huan said: "We dare not hide it. This junior did receive some news in advance. These days, there is news that our column will cancel our meritorious service rewards. It has already spread throughout the entire regiment, and everyone feels aggrieved after hearing this letter.”

"Several leaders of the brigade found the junior, complained to the junior, and said they would appeal to the legion. The junior warned them not to listen to gossip and act rashly, waiting for the coalition forces to announce the results."

"Unexpectedly, they contacted each other privately and agreed on a date, so that they did what they did today. The seniors know clearly that what happened today was not instructed by the juniors and others."

The man waved his hand and said, "Everyone, sit down!"

"Yes." The three of them responded and sat down again.

"The impact of this incident is very bad. Master Qu, the commander of our army, is very unhappy. He was originally planning to severely punish the person who took the lead in making trouble, but since you have just come back from the front line and have made some achievements, I will be generous and forgive this for now. Once. Tell me to have a good talk with you. Regardless of whether you knew it beforehand or not, and whether you did it behind the scenes or not, forget it this time. Don’t blame the ruthless military law for the next time. "

"Yes, I, this junior, must be strict with our staff."

The three people expressed their opinions one after another.

"As for the reward for your unit's meritorious service, the coalition forces have their own considerations, but no matter what the circumstances, an incident like this will never happen again. Understand it!"

"Yes, this junior knows."

"You go ahead!"

"Junior, take your leave." The three of them stood up and left.
