The sword light shone in the military base hall, and suddenly a sword light flashed like a thunderbolt. Chu Guan was startled, but he found that the opposite sword blade was already on his neck.
He recalled carefully that Qing Shu had clearly seen every sword strike just now. Each sword was a sword, which could be described as simple and unpretentious, but he just couldn't stop it.
He said sincerely: "I lost."
Qingshu put away his sword and came back, took a step back, and said with a salute: "I accept the concession."
The onlookers also noticed Bidou just now, and couldn't help but smile a little more on their faces.
Although the Wei Army successfully recruited Zhang Yu this time, most of them have not seen Zhang Yu's history and do not know what their strength is.
It's just that they thought, Qing Shu, as Zhang Yu's close follower, was already so strong, so Zhang Yu himself wouldn't be too bad, right?
At this moment, an old soldier hurriedly walked in, came to Wei Lingying's side, whispered a few words, and then handed over a red lacquered letter.
Wei Lingying took it, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a serious look.
The people around him also suppressed their smiles and watched with attention.
Jin Xiaobai whispered: "Sister Wei, what's the matter?" She looked at the letter and said: "Is there an edict from the military office?"
Wei Lingying nodded and frowned: "Originally, because our Wei army was damaged, the military government allowed us to take a year to rest, but now, they say that a military contract will be assigned to us before the end of the month."
Jin Xiaobai thought for a while and said: "Maybe Zhang Xuanxiu joined our Wei army. The military office received the news and thought that we were capable of handling this matter, so we sent someone to pass the news."
Wei Lingying said: "That may be the case." She raised her head and said: "Gentlemen, generally military orders will be issued three to five days after the edict is issued. Time is tight. We are not fully equipped now and must prepare immediately."
There is no way to shirk the mercenary army's edict from the Military Administration. If the military order is given, there is no reason to argue.
So she didn't think about anything else, she came directly to Zhang Yu, cupped her fists and said: "We have to rely on Zhang Xuanxiu in this battle.
Zhang Yuzhao said: "You should do your best."
Wei Lingying made up her mind, turned around, and immediately began to make arrangements.
This was not the first time that Wei's army had experienced war. Under her arrangement, the various leaders began to prepare separately.
But this time, because there was a middle-ranking monk in the army guarding the town, everyone felt much more at ease. Even though they were about to fight the enemy, the atmosphere was not as gloomy as before.
At this time, Jin Xiaobai picked up a piece of rubbing jade and came to Zhang Yu, and said cautiously: "Zhang Xuanxiu, we have to cooperate with each other and fight side by side. We need to know the method that Mr. Zhang is good at. Oh, if it is not suitable, Mr. Zhang
You don’t have to answer.”
Before the battle, they needed to find out what kind of Taoist skills Zhang Yu was good at. However, she knew that monks had many taboos, and some people just didn't like others to inquire about their special skills, so she was very cautious in her words.
Zhang Yu's answer was very simple, saying: "I am good at swordsmanship."
"Swordsmanship?"
Jin Xiaobai couldn't help but think of the sword Qingshu used just now, but she also knew that the swordsmanship wielded by monks and the swordsmanship used by armored soldiers were completely different. She didn't dare to ask more about the specifics, and said without a word: "Zhang Xuanxiu, I don't know.
What kind of compositions are you good at? Do you know the compositions of 'Ji, Lin, Huan, Chu' and so on?"
Zhang Yudao: "As far as the inner level, I have never practiced this technique."
Regarding these rules and regulations, he talked with Lian Zhuo on the road and learned a little about them. The so-called "Ji, Lin, Huan, and Chu" refer to the use of four magical powers.
Ji Zhang can benefit others in battle, Lin Zhang can save people's lives, Huan Zhang can use the magic of transformation, and Chu Zhang can scare away evil and evil.
There are few offensive methods here, but they are more popular among the conscripts. This is because most of the conscripts have mysterious soldiers and often do not lack powerful offensive methods, but they lack ways to deal with various changes in magical powers.
In many cases, all they ask for is that the monks can protect them so that they can exert their power normally.
Jin Xiaobai said cautiously: "Zhang Xuanxiu, if you are interested, we can first use our military savings to buy some seals for you."
Since the monks are invited, the mercenary army must bear the monks' spiritual needs, including the sealing method, pills and external medicine, which can be exchanged for a certain price on the outer level.
Of course, as the monks' strength increases, they are also the ones who benefit.
Zhang Yufou said: "It doesn't have to be like this. I see that you are currently short of weapons. If you have savings, you can first exchange for some divine robes and outer armor and creation boats."
Jin Xiaobai thought about it seriously and thought this would be a good idea.
They don't have much savings now, and the armor of the Wei army's previous divine robes were a bit old due to being infected by evil spirits from the void. Now that they are going to fight abroad, they should really replace them with a new batch.
But now that Zhang Yu has not shown any tricks and has not participated in any battles in the outer world, it is best to wait until he has experienced a battle and wait for him to make a request.
After thinking about it, she put away the jade, called a clever young man over, touched the latter's head and said: "Zhang Xuanxiu, I need to deal with some things, and I can't accompany you. His name is Xiaolong, and Zhang Xuanxiu is here."
Just take care of him as you say."
Although Xiaolong was young, he looked very smart. When he arrived, he bowed politely to Zhang Yugui and said, "I have met Xuanxiu."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said: "I am also here and am not very familiar with this place. Please take me around first."
Xiaolong hummed, and then took Zhang Yu and Qingshu to walk up and down the military base, and got a general familiarity with the surrounding internal layout.
At this time, Zhang Yu caught a glimpse of a high platform by the lake. Under the afternoon light, the golden jade outer wall was glowing with a layer of light. He asked, "Where is that?"
Xiaolong said: "This is the place where Cheng Xuanxiu lived before."
Zhang Yudao: "Go over and have a look."
The three of them left the military base and followed the flat stone road to the high platform. This high platform was not big, only about twenty steps in front and back, and had three floors.
Zhang Yu took a look outside and said, "Have you ever gone in since you became a Taoist friend?"
Xiaolong shook his head: "Cheng Xuanxiu has no disciples, and all his belongings have been sent to his relatives in the inner level. There is nothing left here, so not many people have been here."
Zhang Yu stepped forward and pressed lightly. The heavy platform door moved back. He stepped into the high platform and the light suddenly dimmed.
He looked around and saw that the inside of the high platform was transparent from top to bottom and had no levels. If the door was closed, it would be a secret room for practice. Only a few holes were drilled on the top to let in the light of the sun and moon.
However, after his eyes fell, he saw many profound patterns on the walls and floors. He said, "Is this left by fellow Taoist Cheng?"
Xiao Long said: "Yes, these patterns are so strange. Six months before Cheng Xuanxiu died, he was drawing these things here every day. I heard people said they were drawing talismans."
Zhang Yu stared at it for a few times, and he immediately judged that this was not a talisman and had nothing to do with Taoism. It was an unknown magical figure.
His eyes flashed slightly, and in a moment, an unusually blurry figure appeared in front of him with his hands spread out, leaning against the wall and moving slowly. His posture was very weird. But after a while, the light and shadow dissipated.
After all, it had been a year, and even though no one had come here, many of the traces had begun to dissipate, and he couldn't see much.
However, he also kept this strange scene in mind.
Seeing that there was nothing else here, he came out, walked around the lake again, and then returned to the military base.
Because the military commission could arrive at any time, he did not go back to his residence, but stayed directly in the accommodation arranged for him by the station.
Time flew by, and two days passed. On the 28th, the Wei Army officially received the military order.
After reading the content, Wei Lingying's originally worried heart finally calmed down.
The Military Administration did not assign an overly difficult task this time, but asked them to exterminate several indigenous tribes that worshiped evil gods in the southern swamps.
In fact, these tribes in the wasteland are not really indigenous. Instead, most of them are the believers and descendants of gods who were left behind after the evil gods invaded this place and killed all the original indigenous people.
After the evil god was driven away or killed, these evil god believers would disperse in the wilderness. They would often attract the evil god's clones, and the main task of gathering places in Tianxia was to prevent and eliminate these poisons.
The followers of the evil god are nothing, but the evil god is not necessarily easy to deal with. If the evil god comes incarnate and there are no monks to guard the town, even if the mission can be completed, there will definitely be heavy casualties.
But this time, we were fighting at home, and there was no need to go to other planets in Kuisu to fight as usual, so Wei Lingying felt a lot more relaxed. She discussed with Jin Xiaobai for a while, and then ordered someone to invite Zhang Yu.
Send an order to find all the corps leaders.
When Zhang Yu entered the hall, everyone had already arrived first.
After seeing the ceremony, Wei Lingying invited him to sit down with everyone, and then explained the general situation. Finally, she added: "This time the Military Administration gave our Wei Army half a month. On the surface, it seems that there is still time.
It’s considered plenty, but those indigenous tribes are wandering around and it’s very difficult to find them, so we have to set off as early as possible.”
At this time, an older leader who seemed to be in his forties turned over the imperial edict and said in surprise: "Hey, isn't it just us, the guards, who are the only ones who are entrusted with this commission?"
Jin Xiaobai said: "Yes, Uncle Lin, there is also a mercenary army from the south that has been ordered to go there, but we are not in the same place, but act separately, so there is no interference with each other."
Wu Shou, surnamed Lin, said: "Do you know which family it is?"
Jin Xiaobai said: "I checked. The military leader's surname is Gu. It is said that he is a newly established military force. There is very little information about this family."
Leader Wu, surnamed Lin, thought for a while, looked at Wei Lingying and said: "Military leader, as usual, send a letter before departure."
Wei Lingying said: "Okay, Uncle Lin."
She came down and asked everyone present one by one. Seeing that everyone had no objections or questions about his proposal, she felt a high spirit of fighting in her heart and said: "Okay, since everyone agrees, then we will set off early tomorrow morning
