Shortly after nightfall, some soldiers came to inform Yunjing that they were ready to eat. Of course, they were not notified specifically, but they were notified next to the tent.
It can be seen that this army also eats in batches. It is estimated that some of them are poisoned to prevent all of them from being poisoned, or some situations such as neglect of precautions happen...
Yunjing and the others took the tableware they received and went to get food. The soldiers in other camps also actively came out to get food. There was no need to ask where the food was, they just followed.
While silently observing, Yunjing discovered that you don't actually need to go to prepare meals yourself. Of course, the premise is that someone helps you. For example, he found that many junior officers such as squad leaders and squadron leaders had people do the cooking for them without even leaving their tents.
Well, after all, the system of this army is not that strict. Many veterans have already figured out the rules and tried to make their lives as easy as possible.
Let's keep this in mind, it's not that Yunjing wants to cheat. If something happens in the future and he doesn't have time, he might as well ask others to help him prepare the meal, so as not to miss the meal.
The kitchen was in a separate area. When Yunjing and the others arrived, there was already a long queue, so they had to follow behind and move forward slowly to wait for food.
Because they wore similar equipment to others, no one recognized their status as scholars and enjoyed the privilege of looking at them. However, with unfamiliar faces, they could not help but be looked at a few times.
In fact, the scholars who came to this military camp in the past still had some privileges. For example, someone specially sent them meals, and they ate better than ordinary soldiers. But who let the previous wave of scholars fail to live up to their expectations?
Jing and the others were not well received when they arrived. Not to mention special treatment, not even the chief officer has seen one.
Not long after queuing, they each got two steamed buns, a bowl of thick porridge and a small spoonful of pickles. This was a military meal. There was no oil or water, so they could barely fill their stomachs.
I learned from the mouths of other soldiers around me that this was only as good as it was today when supplies were delivered, and it was not as good as this in the past.
In this world, it is difficult for rich people to eat green vegetables in winter, let alone the lower class. Pickles, pickles, and plums are the only way to get vitamins. I can’t compliment the taste. After all, salt is expensive, so it’s impossible to eat pickles whole.
So salty.
There was no requirement to eat in a specific area in the military camp, so Yunjing and the others took them back to the tent to eat.
Because the tent was wet and frozen, the charcoal fire inside was quite warm. Lu Wencheng put down the food and struggled: "Although I have military experience, I still have to say that it is difficult to fill my stomach with these foods, let alone nourish them."
Blood energy improves martial arts cultivation, but over time the cultivation level will go back."
As a middle-level acquired cultivation, his source of vitality mainly depends on food. If his nutrition cannot keep up, everything is nonsense.
"Be content, it's good if you have a stutter, but remember that at this time, countless people in the world can only eat such things in their dreams," Hou Xicai comforted.
Yunjing put the hard steamed buns on the charcoal fire to grill, and while flipping them, he said: "I remember that there seems to be something called military food pills in the army. They are easy to carry. If you take one pill, you will not be hungry for a day. It contains medicinal materials and tonics, which is barely enough."
The elixir is here. If you can eat that kind of thing, I think it can make up for the blood gap caused by lack of food."
"That's what happened. Master Chen developed Junliang Pills with great concentration many years ago. It played an important role in improving the combat effectiveness of our army. It was also one of the reasons why he was awarded the title of Master. Unfortunately, Master Chen was killed by the Dajiang Dynasty.
This protracted war is really hateful. Having said that, there are military ration pills in the army, but they are given priority to officers above the squadron leader. Ordinary soldiers should not even think about it, but ordinary soldiers do not have no chance to get them. They go on missions.
, If you don’t carry dry food, military food pills will be issued at that time,” Hou Xicai said. He was the oldest among the three. He had many military experiences and knew more than Yunjing and the others.
Lu Wencheng dug around at his body and took out a fist-sized porcelain bottle. He shook it and said, "I had expected the hardships in the army, so I was prepared. One pill can make up for the body's food shortage for a day."
The consumption is better than military ration pills. With it, even though the conditions in the army are difficult, you don't have to worry about losing your martial arts skills. I don't have much here, only fifty pills. Let's save some. Come on, one pill for each person.
, we meet by fate, we will have to fight side by side in the future, you’re welcome.”
With that said, he opened the bottle, gave one to Yun Jing and Hou Xicai, put the rest away, swallowed one himself, and then started to eat.
In this era, everyone who can read has some wealth, so it is not surprising that Hou Xicai was able to come up with this Yunjing thing.
Yunjing has heard of blood-tonifying pills, but has never eaten them. It is a common item for martial arts practitioners and can be bought in the market. Although it is not precious, one pill costs one or two silver. If there is a shortage in the market, the price will still be high.
It will be a little higher.
Looking at the blood-tonifying pill on the table in front of him, it was the size of a soybean, brown, and didn't smell very good. Yun Jing could roughly distinguish the taste of various nourishing herbs just by smelling them. The content wouldn't be very high, and the specific ingredients were not.
Can't tell the difference.
Hou Xicai picked up the pill given by Lu Wencheng and said with a smile: "It seems that my idea is similar to that of brother Lu. I also prepared some blood-enhancing pills before coming here. I have eighty pills here. I will use Lu first this time."
Brother, eat mine tomorrow."
As he spoke, he took up the blood-tonifying pill given by Lu Wencheng and swallowed it in one gulp.
Well, Yunjing said that they had made all kinds of preparations before coming, and they might have some life-saving measures. How could they be like him, who came here without preparing anything? Of course, he didn't need to prepare.
Blood-Building Pills are not military-food pills. They replenish blood but are not full. Yunjing guessed that military-food pills are similar to compressed biscuits, so they still have to eat them.
After looking at the blood-tonifying pill for a few times, Yunjing drank the porridge and said, "Thank you for your kindness, brothers. I don't need this stuff, so I won't waste it."
It's not that he's worried that the medicine is poisonous, or that Hou Xicai has ulterior motives in manipulating the elixir. Yunjing really has no use for this thing. With his physique, unless he eats the blood-tonifying elixir, he won't be able to keep up with the consumption.
.
Lu Wencheng raised his head and said with a smile: "Brother Yun, you're welcome. It can replenish our blood energy consumption in the middle stage of acquired days. If you haven't set foot in the middle stage of acquired days to practice blood energy, the effect will only be better. It will be of great help to improve martial arts. Although we are scholars
, knowledge is most important, but martial arts is still necessary.”
"Yes, Brother Yun, don't refuse," Hou Xicai also said kindly from the side.
After thinking about it, Yun Jing stretched out a finger, the inner energy of his fingertips flashed, his finger was glowing faintly, and he pressed it gently on the table, so a fingerprint was clearly displayed on the table.
Showing off his cultivation a little, Yun Jing said with a smile: "Thank you again, but this blood-replenishing pill is really useless to me."
Internal strength is the sign of a person in the late acquired stage. There is no better way to intuitively display a person's cultivation level. Their own cultivation level is not a shameful thing. They are enthusiastic. Yunjing doesn't want to make people feel chilled, so he shows it a little bit.
After looking at my own cultivation level, I realized that I really don’t need the Blood Replenishing Pill.
Seeing this, Hou Xicai and Lu Wencheng were stunned, and immediately stood in awe.
Hou Xicai looked at Yun Jing and cupped his hands and said: "Disrespect, disrespect. Brother Yun has cultivated his inner strength the day after tomorrow. The blood-replenishing pill is really useless, but we worry too much."
"Brother Yun, you are younger than us, your brain is more flexible than ours, and your cultivation level is even higher than ours. How can you survive?" Lu Wencheng said enviously.
Yun Jing hurriedly said: "Don't be like this, don't be like this. As scholars, knowledge is the most important thing, and the rest can be done naturally."
"Haha, that's true, but the problem is who doesn't want to be excellent in all aspects, so what, since Brother Blood-Building Danyun doesn't need it, I'll put it away," Lu Wencheng shook his head and said.
"You should be like this, even if you give it to me, it's a waste."
Hou Xicai looked at Yun Jing and asked curiously: "Brother Yun, what is it like to cultivate internal strength? I still have a long way to go before the late stage of tomorrow. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to cultivate internal strength in this life."
"Experience? This one's not bad, it's just that there are more tricks than before," Yunjing said casually.
After blinking, Lu Wencheng did not ask further questions. Instead, he said: "By the way, Brother Yun, after you develop your internal strength later in life, how will you improve your cultivation? It's definitely not enough to just eat food with no oil or water, right?"
"The inner force circulates within the body to form a cycle throughout the universe. As long as you don't use force with others, it doesn't cost much. As for improving your cultivation in the later stages of life, it's not that easy. Just take your time," Yun Jing said with a smile.
Nodding, Hou Xicai said: "That's right. Countless people will end up in the late stages of acquired life throughout their lives. But Brother Yun, you are still young, and you will definitely not stop here in the future."
Lu Wencheng was stunned at this moment, looked at Yun Jing and glared: "Brother Yun, your name is Yun Jing, right? You are not the Yun Jing who killed the enemy's innate general in Sitong Town, are you?"
"I didn't realize it until Brother Lu said this," Hou Xicai said in shock. He even forgot to eat the rice while looking at Yun Jing.
Smiling, Yunjing said: "I guess it's me you're talking about."
There is no need to show off this kind of thing.
"Hey, it's really you, Brother Yun. It's like a dream," Lu Wencheng took a deep breath and said.
Hou Xicai shook his head and said: "After getting along for a few days, I still haven't connected Brother Yun with that Yun Jing of Sitong Town. It's just that Brother Yun is too young and his eyesight is dull."
"The day after tomorrow, I will be able to surpass my ancestors with my later cultivation. Brother Yun, how did you do it? You have to give me some pointers on martial arts when you have time. There are not many opportunities like this."
"That's right, Brother Yun, please give me some advice."
"Definitely, hey, you guys are making me so embarrassed," Yunjing said awkwardly, feeling a little uncomfortable being praised like this.
After chatting and eating, they turned snow into water and washed the dishes. After they finished chatting, they went to bed to rest.
Although Lu Wencheng and Hou Xicai were surprised that Yunjing was the same Yunjing, he did not beg and fawn over him, and he still communicated normally. Scholars are all shameless, and ordinary people can't do things like kneeling and licking.
Early the next morning, Yunjing and the others got up early, and upon being notified by the soldiers, they went to the kitchen to get food and came back.
During the meal, several people chatted about some knowledge and martial arts, and discussed with each other to prove their shortcomings.
During this period, Yunjing noticed that Liu Fang and his logistics team who had delivered the supplies yesterday were heading back. When they left yesterday, Liu Fang had greeted them and indicated that they had not come to say goodbye.
Yunjing and the others came here to practice, but the chief officer hasn't seen them yet, so they don't know how they will arrange it, which is a bit embarrassing.
Originally, the three of them thought they didn't know how long it would take to get specific arrangements, but they didn't know that just after they had finished breakfast and packed up, the top brass of the garrison here came here to look for them.
It's not malicious speculation about others. Yunjing and the others thought that the local garrison wanted to give them a try, so they came to see them the next day. After all, they, the newly arrived scholars, needed to cool down. Well, it was possible that the previous batches had not performed well.
Okay, the local high-level officials wanted to use this method to get Yunjing and the others to leave voluntarily, so as not to cause any unpleasantness later and make everyone look bad.
As for what exactly I think, who knows.
A total of seven people came, including the garrison general, the logistics manager and the garrison general's deputy. Apart from these three, the remaining four people were the garrison general's personal guards.
‘General’, regardless of the size of the officer, the existence of personal guards is still necessary, that’s the card.
The commander of the local garrison was in his forties. He was a tall man with a fierce look and a big beard. He was wearing dark armor and walked with a windy air. He seemed to be moving vigorously, and the armor made a rattling sound when he moved.
He is the innate master in the camp that Yun Jing felt yesterday, named Zhou Dahu. He was born as a pure soldier. His martial arts skills were honed in fighting, and his status was achieved through merit.
Zhou Dahu is a man of great ability and merit. Otherwise, he would not be able to secure this position even if he has not captured the enemy for several months. However, as a pure soldier, he is a bit lacking in intelligence. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hold the position for several months.
The embarrassing situation of being unable to defeat the enemy.
Zhou Dahu's adjutant is a late acquired cultivator, one of the five late acquired masters in the local garrison. This man looks to be in his thirties and is a scholar. He usually helps Zhou Dahu make suggestions. The power lies with Zhou Dahu himself. After all, he is the deputy.
, strictly speaking, it has no real power.
Then there is the person in charge of the post-production process. Yesterday when Yunjing and the others went to register, they met a man of about sixty years old. He looked very kind and unassuming, but his cultivation was also in the late-stage stage.
It can be said that after the arrival of the three people, Yunjing and the others immediately saw the three most important figures in the local garrison.
"General Zhou is here. You three, Master Hou, who came yesterday, why don't you rush to greet him?"
When they arrived outside the tent, Zhou Dahu's personal guard immediately reminded them.
So Yunjing and the others hurried out and saluted one after another: "See General Zhou."
Zhou Dahu is actually just a captain, but since he is leading the army, it is not wrong to be temporarily promoted to a higher level and called General Zhou.
When he saw Yunjing and the others, especially the hot air gushing out from inside the tent after the tent was opened, Zhou Dahu raised his eyebrows. He knew that tents in other places would not be so warm in such weather. Zhou Dahu looked at the tent calmly.
He nodded to Yunjing and the others and said, "Sorry, everyone, I was so busy yesterday that I couldn't receive you right away. I was negligent."
Zhou Dahu's attitude was quite polite. Although Yunjing and the others were here for training, they were scholars after all. Strictly speaking, the relationship between the two parties was not between superiors and subordinates, but they had to have the proper attitude. Who knew that these scholars in front of them would suddenly become
How high will it climb? It’s better not to offend me.
Everyone in the sedan chair is in charge of others. Zhou Dahu didn't read much, but he had enough worldliness and sophistication. He learned it after he suffered a lot.
"General, you're welcome. I came here to make trouble. How dare I delay the general's business? I will have to trouble the general in the future..."
There were not so many twists and turns in the army. After the two sides exchanged some greetings, Zhou Dahu said directly: "Everyone, I already know your purpose of coming. I took some time to think about it last night. This is what I thought about your arrangements. Hou Xicaihou
Young Master, follow me. I will lead the entire army. There are many things that I cannot take care of. I hope Young Master Hou will remind you when the time comes. Then Lu Wencheng. Young Master Lu will go to the logistics to follow Mr. Deng. He is short of manpower there. I hope Young Master Lu can relieve Mr. Deng.
As for Mr. Yun, just follow your adjutant, Lieutenant General He. He is usually responsible for arranging dispatches and personally leading the team. Specifically, if you feel that the general's arrangement is okay, let's make it this way. I will elaborate on it separately next.
What do you think?"
Zhou Dahu arranged this situation carefully. Hou Xicai is older, experienced, and stable. To put it bluntly, he has many ideas. By following him, Zhou Dahu can always watch and prevent Hou Xicai from causing trouble. Lu Wencheng is in his twenties.
, it is the time to accumulate knowledge, and you should be able to learn a lot by following Mr. Deng. As for Yunjing, you are young and at the age when your passion is high, and you can be sharpened by following Adjutant He.
I have to say that this week Dahu also has a rough and a fine side.
"It all depends on the general's orders"
Yunjing and the others nodded and had no objection.
They came here to experience and follow the arrangements, they did not come here to enjoy being a prick.
Nodding, Zhou Dahu said: "If that's the case, let's settle it like this for the time being, and I will make adjustments to you after a while." After saying this, he paused and continued: "Master Lu and Master Yun, please go with Mr. Deng and Vice General He."
, Mr. Hou, follow me."
After saying that, he thought of something and asked: "By the way, your tent is no different from other places. Why does it feel so much warmer than other places?"
Before Yunjing and the others could answer, someone outside the military camp heard an anxious shout.
"Report... The logistics transport team was attacked by enemy forces thirty miles away on their way back. Some people tried their best to escape and came to ask for help. I would like to ask the general to make a decision!"
The voice yelled and ran straight towards this side.
Hearing this voice, Yun Jing and others' expressions changed, something happened!
"Mr. Liu, they just set out in the morning, and they were attacked so soon. How could this happen? By the way, according to their normal schedule, they would have arrived here this afternoon, but with the sledge, the logistics saved a day, which is absolutely
It's not a coincidence, it should be a premeditated ambush by the enemy. Is there a spy in our army? I don't know what happened to them..." After hearing the report, Yun Jing looked into the distance and quickly analyzed in his mind.
Unfortunately, it was more than thirty miles away from his range of perception, and he could not see the situation of Liu Fang and others.
Zhou Dahu couldn't care about anything else at this time, and immediately gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The thief is so brave, send the order, the whole army is on alert, Adjutant He will listen to the order, and you will lead a group of 500 soldiers to rush for reinforcements. We must try our best to save Mr. Liu."
If they have a chance, I will kill all their enemies in the future!"
"The general will receive his order at the end"
The situation was urgent. Adjutant He responded and strode away immediately, calling out: "Assemble the three battalions and follow me on the expedition!"
He was assigned to study with Adjutant He, and because he was worried about Liu Fang and the others, Yunjing thought for a moment and said, "Everyone, the matter is urgent. I will go on an expedition with Adjutant He first and take my leave."
"That's fine, Mr. Yun, follow Adjutant He closely. He will protect you." Zhou Dahu nodded and said, but he was a little surprised. This Yun Jing was not a greedy person. He took the initiative to get in danger when he encountered danger. This made him feel a little surprised.
He took a high look. After all, he had seen the faces of the previous few scholars and remembered them in his heart.
Hou Xicai immediately ducked into the tent. When he came out, he took the sword that Yun Jing received when he joined the army, threw it to Yun Jing and said: "Brother Yun, bring your weapons."
"Thank you very much," Yunjing said after catching Adjutant He without looking back.
