Border Soldier: My fiancée snatched credit and broke off the engagement, so I promptly became a marq

Ma Liu was blocked outside the medical tent.

He had just handed in half a grain ration book cover, and before he could even get his footing, Han's personal guards surged up from the snow.

The leader was a square-faced captain, whose sword sheath was brand new.

"Take it down."

Two guards stepped forward.

Zhou Tieyi stood in front of him.

"Whose?"

The square-faced captain said, "Ma Liu from the cookhouse secretly followed the White Wolf Pass's grain officer to spy on military affairs."

Ma Liu immediately jumped up.

"I'm following the thief who stole the grain register!"

The square-faced captain remained expressionless.

"Whether there is a thief or not, the military judge will handle the case."

He spoke clearly.

His hands were very dark.

Arresting people allows for interrogation.

As the investigation progresses, the person might disappear.

If Ma Liu, a man with a sharp tongue and quick feet, were imprisoned by Han's personal guards, no one could say for sure whether he would come back alive.

What's more troublesome is that the book cover he just handed in will also get dirty.

If Han Wenshan were to say that Ma Liu stole, forged, or framed the grain accounts, half of the grain accounts would be in jeopardy again.

This is aimed at people.

It was also a payment for the debt.

Stone's eyes reddened again.

"Yesterday you were begging for firewood, today you're arresting Ma Liu, have you no shame?"

The square-faced captain looked at him.

"Say one more word, and I'll take you too."

Stone gripped the iron fork tightly.

Old Chai muttered hoarsely from behind, "Stone, put your hands down!"

Stone's chest heaved, but he remained motionless.

The military officers also arrived.

Yan Heng stood not far away, looking at the square-faced captain, then at Ma Liu.

"Who gave the order?"

The square-faced captain bowed.

"Deputy General Han."

Yan Heng said, "The person should be handed over to the military law office."

The square-faced captain did not answer immediately.

Now everyone could see it.

Han Wenshan did not intend to interrogate Ma Liu.

The goal is to extract information from Ma Liu about Chen Mu's crime of secretly planting spies.

Chen Mu heard this from inside the tent and thought of getting up.

Lin Qinghe held him down.

"If you move again, the wound will reopen."

Chen Mu looked at her.

Lin Qinghe's eyes were dark and her lips were chapped.

She has barely slept these past few days.

But she held his hand firmly.

"I'll go."

She got up.

Chen Mu frowned.

Lin Qinghe said in a low voice, "Ma Liu was blocked when he brought things to the medical tent."

"May I ask the person in charge of the medical treasury?"

She picked up the medicine box.

Half of the medicine box's inner compartment was missing, and there were tear marks on the outside.

Lin Qinghe walked outside the tent and stood in front of Ma Liu.

She was actually afraid too.

Everyone in the medical ward knew that her hand still hurt, and her medicine box had been torn in half.

But as soon as she came out, Ma Liu felt as if he had seen a small shield, and he shrank back half a step behind her.

Lin Qinghe did not turn around.

She simply placed the medicine box in front of her.

The square-faced captain frowned.

"Dr. Lin, move aside."

Lin Qinghe did not allow it.

"Ma Liu just brought me the medicinal ingredients."

Ma Liu was taken aback.

Lin Qinghe glanced at him.

Ma Liu immediately realized what was happening.

"Right! A medicinal ingredient! Grass roots by the well, used to...use for what again?"

Lin Qinghe remained unfazed.

"Cures gossip."

Someone in the kitchen almost burst out laughing.

The square-faced captain looked grim.

"Even military doctors have to fake it?"

Lin Qinghe looked up.

"You accuse me of forgery, then show me the evidence."

She is usually quiet and speaks softly.

But this sentence is very harsh.

Han Wenshan walked over from a distance.

"Medical Doctor Lin, doctors are meant to save lives, not get involved in military affairs."

Lin Qinghe gripped the handle of the medicine box tightly.

"Someone snatched my first-aid kit, injured my hand, and tore open my inner lining."

"Does this count as military affairs?"

Han Wenshan's smile faded slightly.

He looked at the medicine box.

That box is very conspicuous now.

Half of the original copy is left here.

The other half is still in the hands of someone.

Han Wenshan said slowly, "Hiding military records in the medicine chest is a crime in itself."

Lin Qinghe asked, "What happened to the people who stole the medicine box?"

Han Wenshan did not answer.

At that moment, Anato suddenly laughed.

She was tied to the list of military merits, her face half-covered by an iron mask, and her other eye was crooked.

"You Han people are really strange."

"Those who steal are not interrogated, but those who chase thieves are apprehended."

The square-faced captain immediately looked at her.

"Shut up, you barbarian."

Anato said lazily, "I won't close it."

"I saw it too."

Han Wenshan's gaze darkened.

Anato raised her chin.

"One of the people who stole the first-aid kit last night was missing his little finger on his left hand."

The snow fell silent for a moment.

The square-faced captain instinctively pulled his left hand into his sleeve.

Ma Liu, with his sharp eyes, immediately shouted, "That's him! He's missing a finger on his left hand!"

The square-faced captain's expression changed drastically.

He wasn't the one who stole the medicine box.

But he knew the man with the missing finger.

Han Wenshan's eyes turned cold.

Anado looked at him and smiled even more softly.

"What, you know him too, Vice General Han?"

Han Wenshan suddenly drew his sword.

The movement was minor.

But it's fast.

The blade flashed straight at Anato.

No one around him expected that he would make a move in front of the military judge.

Lu Shuangyi was closest, and drew her silver knife to block the blow.

when!

A spark flashed in the snow.

Anato's smile froze.

The tip of the knife was only half a foot away from her throat.

This isn't scary.

He really wanted to kill.

Han Wenshan sheathed his sword and said coldly, "The Northern Barbarian spies are spouting nonsense and disrupting the military interrogation. According to the law, they deserve to be executed."

Anado didn't smile this time.

Her hands were tied, her back pressed against the wooden stake, and a hint of coldness finally appeared in her eyes.

Yan Heng walked between the two.

"Deputy General Han."

Han asked Shan to look at him.

Yan Heng said, "If you're going to execute someone, I'll have to finish asking them first."

Han Wenshan said calmly, "Lord Yan, do you intend to believe the barbarian woman?"

Yan Heng said, "Whether I believe it or not is not important."

"The few people she was referring to are important."

Han Wenshan's face darkened completely.

The square-faced captain lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Chen Mu listened from inside the tent without making a sound.

He knew that Anato's words had saved Ma Liu.

They also put themselves in a dangerous position.

Han Wenshan wanted to kill her, not because she was a barbarian woman.

It was because she pointed out the person who stole the medicine box.

Yan Heng turned his head.

"Ma Liu is temporarily handed over to the military law office; Han's personal guards are not allowed to keep him privately."

Ma Liu breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately put on a bitter face.

"Do we still need to make a deposit?"

Zhou Tie cursed, "It's good enough that we can be imprisoned alive."

Ma Liu muttered, "That counts as merit, right?"

Old Chai cursed from the stretcher: "You little brat, you're being taken into custody and you're still thinking about making a name for yourself. You're hopeless."

Chen Mu's voice came from inside the tent.

"Calculate."

Ma Liu immediately perked up.

The square-faced captain was detained by Yan Heng for questioning.

Anato was then removed from the list of military merits.

Lu Shuangyi walked over and glanced at her.

"You were scared by that last stab."

Anato snorted coldly.

"Why don't you try being tied up?"

Lu Shuangyi didn't say anything more.

She untied a thin string from her sleeve and loosened the thick rope on Anato's hand a little.

Anato paused for a moment.

Aren't you afraid I'll run away?

Lu Shuangyi said, "You can't escape."

"Then why did you loosen it?"

"My hand is injured from the straps; I won't be able to identify people tomorrow."

Anado stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"You all know how to use people better than anyone else."

Lu Shuangyi said calmly, "It's better than you Northern Barbarians directly killing people."

Anato did not refute.

She looked down at her loosened wrist, her eyes flashing with a complex expression.

When Lin Qinghe returned to the medical tent, there was a crack on the handle of her medicine box.

Chen Mu saw it.

"Where are your hands?"

Lin Qinghe hid her hands in her sleeves.

Chen Mu looked at her.

She had no choice but to stick it out.

His tiger's mouth was bruised and swollen from being hit by the scabbard of the personal guard's sword.

Chen Mu paused for a moment.

"Record this too."

Lin Qinghe said in a low voice, "I am not from the cookhouse."

Chen Mu said, "Record all injuries sustained while protecting the certificate."

Lin Qinghe looked up at him.

The snow outside the tent was dim, and the lamplight inside was also dim.

There was weariness in her eyes, and a hint of suppressed soreness.

"You remember everything."

Chen Mu said, "If you don't remember, then you've suffered for nothing."

Lin Qinghe didn't say anything more.

She bent down to change his dressing again, her movements slower than usual.

Outside the door, Anato suddenly called out.

"Chen Mu".

The military officer frowned, but did not stop him.

Chen Mu looked outside the tent.

Anato leaned against the wooden stake, her voice low.

"The younger brother is not a member of the Han family's personal guard."

"The calluses on his hands are something only someone who works in an armory packing boxes would have."

Chen Mu's eyes flickered.

"White Wolf's Armory?"

Anato shook her head.

"no."

She looked at the shadows behind the granary in the distance.

"Red Iron Treasury".

Lu Shuangyi's expression changed slightly.

The Crimson Iron Citadel is not located in Blackrock Fortress.

That was one of the three armories under the jurisdiction of Bailang Pass.

They were in charge of the border troops' armor, crossbows, and arrows.

Han Wenshan wanted to kill Anado, not because of the grain register.

It was because she smelled an even stronger rusty odor.

Chen Mu closed his eyes.

This situation was even more treacherous than he had imagined.

Han Wenshan's act of stealing the medicine box was just the surface.

What truly fears the light of day is the armory.

Just then, Yan Heng's military law officer rushed over.

"Lord Yan has given the order."

"The trial of the barbarian woman will begin tomorrow."

"If the testimony is found to be false, the perpetrators will be dealt with on the spot."

Anato looked up.

The snow fell on her iron surface and quickly melted into water.

She smiled.

This time, the laughter was cold.

"Chen Mu".

"You Han people's account is starting to cost me my life."
