Chapter 397 Choice

 March day, outside Xiguan.

After eating green food and before eating cold food, the soul is broken and the grass reaches the sky.

The coldness of winter has not yet dissipated, and the smell of early spring has gradually moved closer to the mountains.

No matter how the world changes, the world in spring, summer, autumn and winter will never change.

This is the most suitable environment for survival. If this environment is changed, the world will never be the same again.

The camp of Cao Jun stationed here is full of spring inside and outside.

The soldiers did not have to worry about food and drink, and there were entertainment activities every now and then, so their morale did not drop.

When Wang Meng and Wei Kai led their troops to come, they saw Cao Jun's training shouting to kill Zhentian, and countless Cao Jun troops galloping on the hills in the wilderness.

After a few people approached, soon the drums in the camp were beating like thunder.

Cao Su, wearing black armor, rushed out with more than a hundred flying cavalry.

Before he even got close, he heard his loud laughter.

"Master Wei, you are here!"

These two claims made Wang Meng and Wei Kai feel like they were worlds apart.

It had been a long time since I heard these two titles, and both of them felt a sense of warmth in their hearts.

Cao Su rode a war horse, reined in the horse and hovered, then turned over and jumped off the horse.

Wang Meng and Wei Kai also immediately jumped off their horses.

When the three met, Wang Meng's thunderous speech made Cao Su feel particularly cordial.

"Asu, long time no see!"

As soon as Wang Meng finished speaking, Wei Kaidan smiled and said: "I'm still called Asu, I should be called General Pingxi..."

Cao Su was a fourth-grade general with a high title and high authority. In terms of personal force, the number of troops under his command, and social status, he was already above Wang Meng and Wei Kai.

When the two saw Cao Su, they always felt that everything was not real.

In just three years, Cao Su had climbed to such a high position. He was truly the number one person who came out of Pingcheng, and his future career was formidable.

Cao Su laughed twice: "The title is not important."

He took Wang Meng and Wei Kai inside, and then Zhang Ke, Li Li, Luo Yi and other generals brought out by Cao Su from Pingcheng met with Wang Meng one by one.

These three people are now at the peak level of the seventh level of the power realm, and are just a hair away from breaking through to the middle level of the power realm.

Nowadays, in Cao Su's team, there are more and more powerful realms, many mid-level ones, and several people are in high positions, which puts a lot of pressure on them.

Wang Meng glanced at the young man next to Cao Su in surprise.

Ma Chao looked up at the sky unruly, with a proud air of "I am the best in the world".

"Fifth grade?"

Wang Meng was shocked. Such a young boy has actually reached the fifth level? And judging from this position, it seems that he is just a personal guard of Cao Su?

The more they watched, the more frightened they became.

Then Shi Yong came to greet Wang Meng and Wei Kai.

"Master Wei."

Shi Yong was a senior disciple from the outer sect in the martial arts school, and he was very familiar with Wang Meng and Wei Kai.

Wang Meng quickly supported Shi Yong and said hello repeatedly.

"Not bad, not bad, I'm already in the state of strength."

Cao Su's camp has obvious Pingcheng characteristics. After Wang Meng stepped into the military camp, he felt very friendly.

Cao Su led him to the inner tent, and then all the high-ranking officials in the army gathered him.

The army brought out good wine and meat, and entertained the team of "envoys" who came to help Cao Su enter the pass.

Wang Meng liked wine and meat, so Cao Su entertained him with good wine and meat, which made him even more happy.

He smiled and said: "Cao Su, when you walked out of Pingcheng, did you ever think about being as prosperous as you are today?"

"Everything is different now."

When old friends meet, they always talk about past events.

Cao Su shook his head and said: "I haven't changed much. In the past in Pingcheng, I was a little martial artist obsessed with practicing martial arts. Now in Shendu and other places, I am still a martial artist obsessed with practicing martial arts and pursuing higher goals.

The realm of martial arts.”

It can be summed up in eight words - don't forget your original intention and move forward.

Of course, in the eyes of Wang Meng and others, how could Cao Su remain unchanged?

It is true that he was a pure martial artist before, but now he is a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, a young general in the imperial court who holds real power, and has gathered a group of political groups under his command with him as the core.

A few people chatted about the past for a while.

Then Wei Kai brought the topic back to business.

Wei Kai said softly: "This time I was ordered to come here just to help you enter the customs."

Cao Su is actually quite happy outside the Pass now. He has been practicing diligently these past few days, which has consumed some of the previous essence. His internal energy has gradually become fuller, and he has even made significant progress in the Star-catching Technique.

But he still pretended to be angry and dissatisfied.

"Xiguan guard Zhu Ming is so disgusting. This guy is blocking me here. How can I get through easily?"

The only way to pass the level is to be smart, never to use force. Cao Su has already done everything he can do, and his current attitude is that of a bad guy.

Whether you can enter the pass depends on how determined the people inside the pass are.

Wei Kai said silently: "Zhu Ming was one of the most trusted ministers of the late emperor. He should have been one of the four generals at the front, back and left. However, during the previous Wanping Rebellion, Zhu Ming followed Lin Xiao to the Wanping Army, and Hou Lin

Xiao was defeated by the Wanping Army, and Zhu Ming was also reduced by one level."

"Before his death, the late emperor transferred Zhu Ming to Xiguan in order to let Zhu Ming guard Xiguan and ensure the stability of the divine capital."

Cao Su asked: "What about Shenguan? Has the guard of Shenguan been replaced?"

Wei Kai nodded: "Yes, Shenguan has also been replaced. They are all generals from the original Yulin Army."

"There are many talented people in the Yulin Army. For example, Zhu Ming is also a master of the third level. Zhu Ming has now determined that he must obtain the emperor's edict or a warrant before he can let you enter."

Cao Su frowned: "If that's the case, then I won't enter."

"How can you not enter the customs?"

Wang Meng has a loud voice.

Cao Su said helplessly: "Zhu Ming admits death, and I am only a fourth-grade martial artist. I can't defeat him. How can I enter the pass?"

Wei Kai looked around and whispered to Cao Su: "Not long after, it will be the day when the general of Xiguan will be reinstated."

The day when the guard of Xiguan is restored to his post is one of the customs guarding systems.

According to the system of the Qianyuan Kingdom, at important passes such as Shenguan and Xiguan, the guards will return to Shendu every once in a while to report directly to the general on the recent status of the pass, who will then submit the situation to

Son of Heaven.

"Smuggling?"

Cao Su subconsciously thought of this word.

He immediately wanted to refuse. How could his dignified General Pingxi, a fourth-rank imperial official, do such a thing as sneaking into the country?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As soon as Wei Kai saw Cao Su's look, he knew that Cao Su had gone astray, so he told him the stakes of the identity change before and after passing the border.

.

"Before passing the border, it was the Pingxi Army, and after passing the border, it was the Imperial Army."

"The general will personally assign you to the new Changshui camp. Ahem... you will be the captain of Changshui."

Captain Changshui is one of the eight major captains of the Forbidden Army. Although he only holds the position of captain, due to his location in the divine capital and his high position of authority, he cannot be treated as an ordinary captain.

The previous eight captains were all the sons of important officials in the divine capital.

They may be the celebrities around the general, or they may be members of the chamberlain group, or they may be relatively close to Lieutenant Rong, the Prime Minister, etc., but in summary, none of them are from civilian backgrounds.

If Cao Suruo became the captain of Changshui, he was the first captain of Changshui who was born as a civilian.

He wondered: "Where is Huang Hao?"

Huang Hao was the former captain of Changshui, and Cao Su had a deep impression on him.

The main reason was that this person deliberately provoked Cao Su before Cao Su went on the expedition. Although it failed to have any effect, he successfully attracted Cao Su's attention.

Wei Kai said calmly: "Huang Hao has been transferred to the Yulin Army."

The transfer between the Yulin Army and the Imperial Army is smooth, but generally speaking, only the Yulin Army is transferred to the Imperial Army, and rarely the Imperial Army is transferred to the Yulin Army.

Cao Su frowned and asked, "I've seen Huang Hao before. His martial arts skills are average. How can he join the Yulin Army?"

"Why, you still look down on him?"

Wei Kai was delighted, Cao Su looked down on Huang Hao in his tone.

Cao Su didn't mean this. He was able to serve as the captain of Changshui before, presumably because of his excellent skills. How could he look down on him?

Cao Su smiled calmly and said: "If Huang Hao becomes the Yulin Army, then the position of Captain Changshui will be vacant. I wonder how many people are watching. Who can take my turn?"

Wang Meng on the side laughed and said: "Cao Pingxi, don't belittle yourself."

"Since you came out of Pingcheng, which battle have you not won?"

"Although you are only twenty years old now, your military achievements are outstanding and are rare among the entire court."

"The pacification of Xizhou this time should have allowed you to take a step forward. However, the emperor suddenly passed away. This reward can only be handled by others."

Cao Su understood that the person who would do the work for him was the general.

This is the choice given to him by General Yang Ming. If he fights with the General, he should accept this offer.

First, he sneaked into the pass while Zhu Ming was leaving, and then took up the post of captain of Changshui, and stepped into the chaos of the divine capital.

Cao Su frowned, he could see now that God was a mess.

It's possible to fish in troubled waters, but it can also be frustrating.

The benefits and risks of Shendu exist at the same time.

How to choose?

He fell into deep thought and did not immediately agree to Wang Meng and Wei Kai.
