Two Hundred and Forty-Six, Qing's Camp

On the line between Daping Mountain and Xianlin Mountain, countless troops of the Qing Clan have been stationed. Occasionally, there are open areas in the valley filled with black tents, and this place must be the main traffic hub within the entire mountain range.

The road in the mountains is not a dirt road, but a concrete road built by the Qing family early on. Just by looking at the roadbed, it can be seen that the Qing family has been in business for a long time.

This is the only way to go south to the Li family. If you want to fight the Li family, you must not go around here.

The conflicts between the three southwest consortiums have not been a day or two, and the Qing family has made exceptionally adequate preparations, including the advance base and the fortifications in the mountains have been built long ago.

At this time, two off-road vehicles came from the northeast mountain. Qing Zhen and Luo Lan sat in the car and looked at the scenery outside the window. Qing Zhen smiled and said: "This place must be guarded. If the position here is lost, then this road will be repaired by others. The other party can drive straight in without hindrance."

"Don't worry, I can't lose it," Secretary Zhou, who was sitting on the co-pilot, said coldly, "Qing Zhen, asking you to be a military advisor is to make you atone for your crimes. I hope you can carefully consider the decision of the Qing's presidium and stop acting recklessly."

Qing Zhen smiled calmly and said, "Atonement? What is Qing Zhen doing?"

The soldier who was driving seemed to be deaf. He just drove and didn't dare to have any abnormal reactions. Secretary Zhou frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

The off-road vehicle traveled dozens of kilometers in the mountains, and finally came to a huge camp area. When they passed the checkpoint, Secretary Zhou showed his ID and the party let them pass.

Qing Zhen looked at the layout of the surrounding barracks: "It's a bit slack."

"Here we are, get out of the car." Secretary Zhou glanced at Qing Zhen, "You also know the chief combat officer here, he is your younger brother, Qing Yun."

"Oh," Qing Zhen nodded, "It's that slug, who used to cry a lot when I was a child."

Qing Yun was also the one who discovered the disappearance of the test subject at Fortress 113.

After getting out of the car, Qing Zhen walked towards the tent of the command headquarters: "Since I was asked to be the military advisor, what would happen if Qing Yun didn't listen to me? Have you ever thought about this question, if he insists on going his own way, will I have to take the blame with him too?"

Secretary Zhou's brows furrowed even deeper: "Qing Zhen, don't play tricks. He is the chief officer of the army, and of course he bears the main responsibility if something goes wrong. But as a military advisor, if you lose the war, do you dare to say that you are not responsible? It's all for the cause of my Qing family. I hope you can be more serious and don't deliberately sabotage your work."

This is actually what the members of the Qing Clan's presidium are most worried about. They are worried about Qing Yun facing the other two consortiums alone. After all, Qing Yun's combat experience is far less rich than Qing Zhen's, and when it comes to war wisdom, no one in the entire Qing Clan can match Qing Zhen.

Many people used to think that with such a big consortium and so many people, it was only natural to select elite soldiers and strong generals, but looking at history, there are only a few famous generals in the world, and sometimes there are people who are really talented.

But what they were more worried about was that Qing Zhen had been frustrated a while ago, and if Qing Zhen went to the front line but didn't work hard, it would also affect the overall situation.

It's not that the presidium is too stupid to suppress talents, but that they have long been accustomed to talents bowing their heads in front of the huge machine of the consortium.

There used to be an arrogant shadow who wanted to dominate the consortium, but what happened in the end? Didn't he bow his head and become a tool of the consortium?

The Keqing Presidium did not expect that Qing Zhen would be so stubborn!

Qing Zhen walked towards the tent with a smile. At this time, the officers in the tent of the headquarters shuttled back and forth, either holding the latest military information in their hands, or carrying out military orders issued by Qing Yun.

At this time, when everyone saw Qing Zhen coming in, everyone in the tent paused for a moment, as if even the air in the headquarters froze for a moment after Qing Zhen came in.

Qing Zhen greeted everyone: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, what should you do, Luo Lan and I will come to see you."

At this time, Qing Yun, who was next to the sand table at the headquarters, saw Qing Zhen and his expression was gloomy. Qing Yun looked at Secretary Zhou: "Why did you bring him here?"

Secretary Zhou said calmly, "Your second uncle asked him to assist you."

"Assist me?" Qing Yun sneered, "I don't need a prisoner to assist me."

Luo Lan smiled: "Qingyun, do you still remember the days when we were young and played with mud behind us? When you uncle Luo was fighting, you didn't know where to play with mud."

Secretary Zhou said angrily: "That's enough, Southwest is going to change a lot, you still have the mood to bicker like children here, Qingyun, the two of them will serve as your military advisors, let's report the current situation first, and hold a military meeting."

Qing Yun cast a glance at them, and said to the adjutant next to him: "Notify the chief officers of each combat sequence to come to the meeting!"

After all, Qing Yun did not dare to disobey the order of the presidium. Since the presidium asked Qing Zhen to be the military advisor, he had to cooperate in order to save face, so that even if he made a mistake, no one would blame him.

During the meeting, Qing Zhen sat at the conference table with his eyes closed all the time, wondering if he had heard the reports from the chief officers of each combat sequence, while Luo Lan simply fell asleep on the table.

A military officer said: "Now that we are stationed on the front line of Daping Mountain and Xianlin Mountain, the Li family and the Yang family should not attack easily. This war is mainly due to the conflict between their two families..."

Qing Zhen suddenly opened his eyes and interrupted, "Stupid."

There was a sudden silence in the headquarters, and Qing Zhen continued: "The philosophy on this battlefield is that except for our own people, all the people participating in the battle are enemies. Why do you think that Li and Yang have enmity, so they won't take the initiative to attack us?"

Qing Yun said coldly: "It's because of Yang that Li robbed them..."

Qing Zhen laughed: "It wasn't Yang who snatched it, I snatched it and gave it to Yang, but remember what I said, since I, Qing, have come here, I will definitely become Li's target, and if we neglect defense, then I'm afraid it will become the priority target of the other two. For this reason, they are even willing to let go of their hatred between each other, because embezzling Qing's interests is enough to tempt them."

Qing Yun stared at Qing Zhen steadfastly. He has lived under Qing Zhen's shadow for more than twenty years. When he was in kindergarten, everyone said that there was another person who was better than him, named Qing Zhen. He went to elementary school, middle school, and college. It was still the same. In the end, even when he walked into the barracks, everyone still said that Qing Zhen was better than everyone in the Qing family.

But even though he hated Qing Zhen so much, he still had to sit at the same table with Qing Zhen to discuss the battle situation, because he wanted the presidium to understand that he was more obedient than Qing Zhen.
