Chapter 142 Being calculated
"Hey, Lao Wu, why are you still sleeping?"
Hong Lie strode over and looked at Wu You who was basking in the sun like a dead pig in the yard. He frowned and went up to pat Wu You's exposed belly.
"What are you doing if you don't sleep?" Wu You rolled his eyes at the other person: "Like you? Acting like a child in broad daylight, going out on the streets to watch the excitement with the people in the city?"
"What's wrong with this?" Hong Lie chuckled and said, "You don't know how lively these days are, with weapons competitions and archery competitions. I'm not telling you, Old Wu, the soldiers under your command are quite powerful.
I have a solid foundation in all kinds of boxing and kicking skills, swords, guns, shields and halberds, especially that boy named Di Yun, who is so good at horse-drawing. If I had had this foundation when I was a kid, the old man wouldn’t have chased me with a whip every day!”
When Wu You heard this, he didn't show much pride. Instead, he looked at the sky in silence and was in a daze.
Di Yun was a centurion personally selected by himself, so he wouldn't know what his abilities were?
But what's the use of practicing basic skills well? Everyone knows that the actual combat power is not as good as that of a blood soldier waiting to die, but the more this happens, the more blood and sweat you have to work hard to survive on the battlefield.
In this kind of life where hard work is required and there is no future, it is no wonder that most centurions choose to leave with the court's relatively generous retirement pay after the expiration date.
This was also the reason why he didn't want to wander on the streets. What he was afraid of seeing was the way those soldiers who were once numb were now surging with passion.
But with a silly boy like Hong Lie here, he can't escape even if he wants to.
"I'm telling you, Old Wu, you don't know how good the martial arts in Liuzhou are now. Our capital is considered a place for martial arts, right? But ordinary people still focus on studying. Chen Qing's place is interesting. It's large-scale
The people watched the competition lively, and the soldiers were convinced. Many children threatened to join the army. Tsk tsk, I think Your Majesty can do it this way. It is getting more and more difficult for us to recruit ordinary soldiers now."
"Those personal soldiers, just because they have blood, are too lazy to do anything. They can't even whip with a whip, and they have no ambition at all."
Wu You also frowned when he heard this. He had actually considered this issue. The bloodline families of the previous dynasty had risen, and many of them had been passed down for thousands of years. However, once the Central Plains were unified and the days of peace lasted a little longer, the Central Plains' military power would be overtaken by the surrounding ancient wilderness countries.
By comparison, in three hundred years at most, the armament will be relaxed to an extremely exaggerated level.
The same is true for the Great Jin Dynasty. It has only been 20 years since the founding of the dynasty, and the second generation of blood soldiers have begun to get tired. If this continues, why will another three hundred years be needed? I am afraid that within a hundred years there will be disasters on the border.
But this problem is difficult to solve, because the military is unfair. Under the restriction of bloodline, everyone relies on qualifications. No matter how hard they work, the ceiling is still there for those who are motivated. This is true for ordinary soldiers, and the same is true for bloodline families.
The bloodline of an ordinary bloodline family is there, and the purity of his bloodline has determined his upper limit since he was a child. No matter how hard he works, that is, at that position. In this case, it is actually easy to kill people's ambition.
"By the way, it seems that Chen Qing is back. She was greeting me just now."
Wu You was stunned for a moment, his eyes became serious, but then he looked a little disappointed. What did he mean by coming back so blatantly? He didn't care about his threat at all?
In fact, his soldiers are almost exhausted, and they are all going to participate in his Tiger Guard selection. Although they are all using the excuse of spying on military intelligence, in fact, he is very clear in his heart. There is a high probability that they are just meat buns beating dogs.
.
Now there are only a hundred private soldiers of family blood left. Even if I earn that defense, what's the point of taking it? How many of them are willing to listen to me?
"Aren't you even interested in coming to visit me, the imperial envoy?" Wu You said with a smile.
"Hey, Lao Wu, don't be so stingy." Hong Lie said with a smile, "I even made an appointment to drink tonight."
"night?"
Wu You looked at the sky and saw that it was actually close to dusk at this time. Logically speaking, this was the most appropriate time to meet him for a dinner date. After all, it was not the soldiers at the top of the city who were asking for midnight snacks.
For formal occasions, the appropriate time for an appointment is formal. If you are not free today, then make an appointment tomorrow. Why make an appointment at night? In the current situation in Liuzhou, there are no flower buildings at night, so what is there to make an appointment with?
Wu You sat up immediately: "Let's go and have a look!"
"Eh?" Hong Lie was stunned: "What are you looking at?"
"I'm afraid our prefect wants to hide something from us!"
"Why do you say that?" Hong Lie asked curiously.
"He reassured us by saying he had an appointment at night, which means he doesn't want us to show up at this time." Wu You said with a smile: "Although I don't know what he wants to do, I just don't want to do what he wants. Let's go. Look
Look!"
"You guy." Hong Lie shook his head in amusement: "You are always suspicious."
"Are you suspicious? You'll find out when you go there."

“I really followed you”
On a high building in Liuzhou City, when she saw Wu You leaving the state capital, Murong Yunji frowned: "You were quite right."
"I have never seen the man named Wu, but I know from what you said that he is someone who wants to cause trouble. He is most likely to have a quick mind when he wants to cause trouble. If you are not aware of this, it would be too stupid."
Murong Yunji was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment. She actually liked to make trouble, but to be honest, she didn't have that much on her mind. The fool Chen Qing said was not her, right?
"Here we come!" Murong Yunji suddenly looked to the southeast: "The location is a little tricky, it's in the downtown area!"
Chen Qing came back to her senses and smiled: "This is the best position!"
——
"You can actually get in!"
Mortals do not enter the Yin Division. As soon as the Yin Yang Road passage opened, Wang Ye's flying star landed almost directly in front of the former residence of General Yuchi, which was the best location on South Street.
Nowadays, the people in Liuzhou mainly live in South Street. It is dusk at this time, the weather is not so hot, but it is the most lively time.
Because many young people who applied for Daqingshan farmers temporarily had time at this time, either to watch the excitement or to participate in the competition themselves. As soon as Wang Ye and others arrived, they were cheered by the lively people on the street.
The scream was incomprehensible.
Shen Laosan, Shen Yimiao, looked around and marveled. He was not sure before, but now he is very sure that the huge feat that can isolate Liuzhou from Yinyang Road is probably really the work of the prefect!
What a character!
The more this happened, the more cautious he was originally. If someone with such ability sets up a trap, he must be extremely vigilant.
But when I got to this street, I suddenly changed my mind.
"This Liuzhou is better than imagined!" Master Shen looked around with curiosity. Eight million living corpses from the West Sea attacked Jiangnan. Jiangnan was divided and unable to support each other. According to what they thought, the entire
I am afraid that only Nanyang City and Nanming Mansion can defend Jiangnan.
When Wang Ye said Liuzhou was defended, he didn't believe it at first. But now it seems that not only has Liuzhou been defended, but the situation is not good at all.
Not only the flow of people, but the overall atmosphere and people's hearts are almost as good as Nanyang City.
But Nanyang City has the ancient magic formation left by the ancestors, and it is controlled by Lao Liu, a top magic formation master. This allows Nanyang to defend the city without injury. Why does Liuzhou rely on it?
Logically speaking, even if it can be defended, it should be extremely brutal, but looking at the scene now, it is more lively than Nanyang City.
Looking at the cheering smiles of the people in Liuzhou and the overall lively atmosphere, I was surprised and at the same time, my vigilance relaxed a little.
After all, for the other party to be able to achieve this step, in addition to magical means, it must also cost a lot of energy. If you and others are in this position, for the sake of stability, the other party will most likely not mess around.
Such thoughts arose, which made both of them feel free to look around.
Then the more I looked at it, the more strange it became.
Different from the popularity of Nanyang City, which uses piled goods to create a lively market, Liuzhou does not seem to need a market to drive the night. People will unconsciously come to wander on the streets. This is obviously a kind of energy that is well conserved.
Just a habit.
In ordinary cities, ordinary people are exhausted and eat very little just for two meals and money during the day. How can they still have the energy to hang out at night?
Usually only people with some financial resources, three meals a day, and a small labor force will do this.
Not only are the people of Liuzhou safe, but their quality of life can be so good?
Looks don't lie. Mr. Shen could see clearly that almost everyone on the street was full of energy and rosy. Even in the affluent Nanyang City, it was impossible for everyone to have such a look. It seemed that
The prefect of Liuzhou is a capable official.
Such a good situation must have taken a lot of effort. When I think about it, my tight vigilance becomes more and more relaxed, thinking that the other party will not take action in the situation that I have worked hard to create.
But such happy thoughts did not last long.
A very unexpected figure suddenly appeared almost at the moment when his vigilance had just slackened.
The speed was so fast that even Lao Ba didn't react immediately.
"Sister-in-law?" Mr. Shen's pupils shrank, and before he could say anything, a piercing wind hit his face!
Kamikaze!
It's a killer move right away!
Shen Yimiao quickly retreated directly to Lao Ba's side. Murong Yunji's divine wind was compressed and had extraordinary penetrating power. It was difficult to block it with any magic technique in a hurry, but Lao Ba could.
Master Shen was seen squinting his eyes, as if he had not yet reacted, but the divine wind in Murong Yunji's hand had become distorted, and it seemed that he could not touch Master Shen no matter what.
There is no lower limit for Yin and Yang and positive pole!
Murong Yunji knew that this was Lao Ba's technique, which could use the positive and negative magnetic fields of yin and yang to form a magic barrier around it. When it works, yin and yang complement each other, and the cycle is endless. It can form a very strong defense with almost no subsequent consumption.
It is a rather rogue technique. After all, a technique that carries a defensive barrier at all times and does not consume spiritual energy is a bit too rogue!
"Tsk" Murong Yunji didn't take any chances. She missed the target and turned into a streak of green light and retreated, leaving Shen Laosan stunned.
Murong Yunji's sudden attack was terrifying, because her skills were the most suitable for being an assassin. Before Lao Ba could react, this was the best time to attack, so why didn't she just stop attacking?
