Chapter 213: Moving to the Right as Deputy Envoy of the Hall of Heroes
"My sister? My sister Wan'er?"
Chu Chen was a little puzzled.
His sister joined the army, how could she have connections?
Although the best source of troops for accompanying soldiers and horses is the elite soldiers who died on the battlefield, after the soldiers died, their heroic souls will not be extinguished, and most of them are under the jurisdiction of the local gods at all levels. Where did Sister Wan'er get the connections?
"It seems you don't know yet."
Taoist priest Xu Ping poured a cup of tea and said calmly: "A few days ago, when I was looking through the newspaper of Qingzhou Residence, I happened to see that your sister had achieved military merit and was moved from the rank of seventh-rank deputy lieutenant to the right to deputy envoy of the Qingzhou Army Hall of Heroes (full seventh rank).
)."
Master Xu Pingdao did not say the whole story, only half of it.
However, Chu Chen understood.
Sister Wan'er really had something to do with him recruiting soldiers and horses.
The Hall of Heroes, as the name suggests, is a temple built for the souls of heroes who were loyal to the country and died on the battlefield. All Qingzhou Army and Qingzhou soldiers who died on the battlefield will have their souls returned to the Hall of Heroes, respected by all people, and their incense will never be extinguished.
The deputy envoy of the Hall of Heroes is responsible for presiding over the sacrifice of heroic spirits, helping the souls of the dead soldiers to consolidate their souls and extend their life span.
After the souls of the dead soldiers have been enshrined in the Hall of Heroes for a period of time, the deputy envoys of the Hall of Heroes will arrange for them to enter the shrine and city god's mansions at all levels, and try their best to provide them with ghost missions such as ghost soldiers.
In layman's terms, the deputy envoy of the Hall of Heroes is responsible for the "death transfer" of the souls of the soldiers, and often has to deal with the City God's Government at all levels.
Chu Chen wanted to recruit soldiers and horses, so he found Sister Wan'er. He really found the right person.
He is a serious recruiter. He has the qualifications to recruit soldiers and has prepared enough jade money. He is not using the back door to seek personal advantage.
The reason for looking for connections is simply that I don't want to be embarrassed and want to successfully recruit a group of elite soldiers.
With Sister Wan'er, the deputy envoy of the Hall of Heroes, coming forward, the Qingzhou City God's Mansion will definitely give him face.
After all, they are one of my own people who I deal with frequently, so I will definitely not offend them intentionally.
For Chu Chen, the relationship with Sister Wan'er is enough, and there is no need for too many connections.
Taoist priest Xu Ping was a little surprised to see his apprentice thoughtful and slightly surprised.
"Master, I thought you had known about it for a long time. Why, you only heard about it now?"
"Master, I really don't know this. You also know that my family has been cultivated and studied for generations, and it is considered a scholarly family. My father does not want my sister to show up in the public eye and join the army to fight."
Chu Chen smiled helplessly: "My sister basically doesn't contact her family for fear of being reprimanded."
Taoist Xu Ping suddenly realized that this was the case.
Having found a way out of his own affairs, Chu Chen felt at ease and began to care about Sister Wan'er.
"Master, I don't know much about the military. My sister has made meritorious service, so why was she transferred to the Hall of Heroes? The deputy envoy of the Hall of Heroes doesn't seem to be in command of the army, right? Did my sister offend someone?"
"Nonsense!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping waved his hand and explained: "Although the deputy envoy of the Hall of Heroes does not command the army, it is a very sought-after position. No matter how many people ask for it, you can't get it."
"The heroic spirits in the hall have immortal fighting souls, are soaring to the sky, and are full of dragons and tigers. They preside over the affairs of the Hall of Heroes. They can not only accumulate merits and virtues, but also be conducive to the cultivation of military magical powers. It is a holy place for military generals to practice."
"This is the Qingzhou Army cultivating your sister and helping her practice. When your sister's term is up, she will become a seventh-grade captain and take charge of a battalion of soldiers."
Chu Chen suddenly realized.
The army of the Dachang Dynasty was organized into ten people called fire, five fire teams, and ten teams called camps.
One battalion of soldiers and horses is reorganized into 500 soldiers and horses.
The five hundred well-trained soldiers and horses in the army are much stronger than the five hundred soldiers and horses of the monks.
The three treasures of spirit, energy and spirit of the soldiers and horses in the army are gathered together to repair the evil energy and condense the evil body. They are also blessed by the dragon and tiger energy of the country, and combined with the magical powers of the military strategists, the combat effectiveness of a battalion of soldiers and horses is extremely terrifying.
Ordinary sixth-grade monks would not dare to easily compete with a battalion of soldiers and horses.
If Sister Wan'er can take charge of a battalion of soldiers and horses, it will be a very great and happy event.
The next day.
Chu Chen took a rest and went to the Chen family instead of going to the County Ghost and God Division to make a fortune.
The news that he was promoted to the eighth rank had already spread back to the Chen family, so he had to go home no matter what.
Upon entering the Chen Mansion, Chu Chen once again felt the enthusiasm of everyone in the Chen Mansion.
This is true whether it is the rooms in the Chen family or the servants and maids below.
Soon, Chu Chen met Chen's father and Chen's mother, and asked about Sister Wan'er sideways.
After asking, Chu Chen found out.
It turned out that Chen's father, Chen Jiaxian, had known for a long time that Sister Wan'er had moved to the right to become the deputy envoy of the Eighth-Rank Hall of Heroes. She was flourishing in the army and was expected to take charge of a battalion of soldiers.
Unfortunately, Father Chen was not happy at all and was even ashamed to mention it.
You are a good lady, but you don't like female celebrities, but you still want to dance with guns and sticks, and fight and kill, how unbecoming it is!
Chu Chen didn't agree with Chen's father's outdated ideas in his heart, but he didn't try to persuade him too much, for fear of having a counterproductive effect, he just listened but didn't speak.
Anyway, my father can't control Sister Wan'er.
After inquiring about the specific information about Sister Wan'er, Chu Chen left the Chen family and set off for Qingzhou City.
Guangping County is thousands of miles away from the capital city of Qingzhou. It is far away for ordinary people, but it is not too far for practitioners.
Chu Chen has good foot power, and the calligraphy and magic horse [clouds on the soles of the feet] take turns to rush on the road, stopping and resting along the way.
We set off in the morning and arrived at Qingzhou City at noon.
After showing the immortal official's ultimatum, the city guards politely waived the entry fee and invited Chu Chen into the city.
After entering the city, Chu Chen made some inquiries on the street and soon found out the address of Qingzhou Hall of Heroes and searched for it.
The Hall of Heroes is adjacent to the Qingzhou City God's Temple. There is an endless stream of people going to the Hall of Heroes to pay their respects, and the incense is flourishing.
Chu Chen finally squeezed through the crowd into the Hall of Heroes.
The Hall of Heroes occupies a large area and is divided into two courtyards: inner and outer.
The outer courtyard is for the common people to pay their respects and worship, while the inner courtyard is the essence of the Hall of Heroes, where the souls of countless dead soldiers gather and are guarded by military soldiers and horses to preside over the sacrificial affairs.
As the deputy envoy of the Hall of Heroes, Sister Wan'er naturally handles errands in the inner courtyard.
"The inner courtyard is a forbidden area, no idlers are allowed to enter!"
A group of soldiers wearing armor and full of evil spirits stopped Chu Chen.
Chu Chen bowed and said politely: "Everyone, I am here to find my relatives. I have relatives who are on duty in the inner courtyard."
Upon hearing that they were here to look for relatives, the patrolling officers restrained their stern and scrutinizing gaze and softened their tone:
"Brother, who are you here for?"
"I'm looking for my sister, her name is Chen Wan, she is the deputy envoy of the Hall of Heroes..."
Chu Chen had just reported Sister Wan'er, and the attitude of the patrolling soldiers suddenly changed.
"It turns out he is Deputy Ambassador Chen's brother, please come in quickly!"
The attitude of the soldiers was enthusiastic, even vaguely solicitous.
Chu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and allowed the soldiers to "enthusiastically" welcome him into the inner courtyard.
As soon as you enter the inner courtyard.
Chu Chen felt an iron-blooded evil spirit coming towards his face, making him tremble all over.
It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm infected by some kind of emotion and my heart is surging.
In his mind, a fierce scene of thousands of troops fighting each other emerged, making him stand up solemnly involuntarily.
"Erlang! It's really you, why do you have time to see my sister!"
A man dressed in red came over happily.
It was Sister Wan'er whom I hadn't seen for many days.
