The selection of the Long Family Army's elite soldier plan is almost complete, and the number of people who have signed up is far more than 15,000.
Everyone must meet the conditions of being married and having children.
On the one hand, this rule is because they are afraid that they will not be able to change back after becoming a half-ghost and will not be able to have children; on the other hand, because the trained elite soldiers have to be at the forefront, the death rate will be surprisingly high.
Entering this army is equivalent to automatically joining the death list.
Long Chen was sitting in the room while Wu Jian reported the entire incident. The empress sat in the middle and listened quietly with her head straight.
"The officers and soldiers of the Long Family Army are all good, and they regard death as home."
The empress praised the Long family army with a solemn tone.
What it means to participate in the elite soldier plan has been made very clear. Even so, the soldiers are still very enthusiastic.
"How is the situation over there with the barbarians? Has Tu Zhi convinced the tribesmen?"
Long Chen asked Wu Jian, Wu Jian shook his head slightly and said: "The barbarians are no better than the Long Family Army. They look fierce. If they really meet death, they will be cowards."
"Yesterday I asked Tuzhi, and Tuzhi replied that only two thousand people were willing, and the others were afraid of death. Some people even migrated south and did not return to the grassland."
The empress frowned and said, "These people are not allowed to travel in groups when they move south, to avoid causing trouble."
The barbarians were good at riding horses and shooting arrows, but they were not good at fighting ghosts and they were more than capable of robbing the people. The empress was worried that these people would plunder along the way.
Wu Jian said: "As I said, Tuzhi will not allow them to move south."
The barbarians fled south, and the most annoyed person was Tu Zhi. He was a Chanyu, and his subordinates had fled, so he became the bare commander.
"Okay, the candidate has been selected and training will begin tomorrow."
Long Chen didn't know when the ghost fetus would invade again, so he had to prepare early.
The empress asked: "The meat and vegetable garden has not been established yet, and the Yufu Kingdom has not returned yet. Will it start tomorrow?"
To cultivate a half-ghost body, you must rely on meat and vegetables. This is the foundation and premise.
The empress felt that Long Chen was too impatient for training without meat and vegetables.
Long Chen said: "It's okay to practice some basic skills first. The meat and vegetable garden requires time and cannot be wasted."
The empress nodded slightly, it would indeed be better to start earlier.
"You are in charge of this matter. There is no need to tell me."
The Empress completely delegates power. Except in public situations, the Empress must be the master. In private, Long Chen's decision is the Empress' will.
"Wei Chen accepts the decree."
The empress stood up and left, and Long Chen and Wu Jian also walked out of the room.
It was windy and snowy outside, Yanmen Pass was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the biting cold wind whistled.
"Uncle Wu, go ahead and do your work. I'll go to Lao Feng's place."
Wu Jian nodded and went to do his own thing. Long Chen walked into the prison, and Feng He was recording the changes of the four death row inmates.
When Long Chen walked in, the four death row prisoners immediately climbed up, grabbed the railing and shook it vigorously, shouting: "You don't mean what you say, I obviously won the battle!"
"Guan Gu, you don't keep your word. If you want to kill grandpa, go ahead!"
"Bah, if you come in if you dare, I will kill you!"
The prisoner spat outside. Long Chen frowned and stopped. He shook his head slightly and said, "Old Feng, cut out their tongues. It's not a problem. Sew their mouths together and cut them open while eating. They won't be killed."
Feng He chuckled and said, "My lord, this is a good suggestion. These four people really have dirty mouths. They will have their tongues cut out later."
Feng He is a ruthless person. If he says he cuts his tongue, he cuts his tongue. It's not a joke.
The four prisoners were not stupid. Knowing that Feng He was ruthless in his actions, they immediately shut up and did not dare to curse.
"If you dare to cut my tongue, we will die!"
The thinnest prisoner threatened Long Chen. He saw that Long Chen was using them for experiments and needed to keep them alive.
Long Chen sneered and said: "If you want to die, just bite your tongue and commit suicide. What nonsense!"
Feng He said: "Sir, let's go out and talk. These people are noisy and annoying."
The two of them sat outside and Long Chen asked, "How is the situation?"
Feng He said: "After eating it, my body's strength has been significantly enhanced, and my sleep time has been reduced."
"No bad changes have occurred in my body, and I haven't noticed any changes in my appearance."
These are Feng He's records, which are somewhat different from Long Chen's expectations.
According to Long Chen's estimation, after eating the meat of ghost warriors, some bad changes will occur to the body, at least like Ji Zhang, he will become very ugly.
But these bad changes did not happen, Long Chen was surprised.
"That's weird, they're not exactly the same."
The first time Long Chen saw the ghost tribe was when he was wiping out the pirates. The village was full of living dead.
Those living dead are afraid of the sun and hide in caves to sleep during the day.
The ones I saw later at Shengxue Peak were different from ghost fetuses.
The ghost warriors encountered at Yanmen Pass are also different.
Are there different types of ghosts?
"Maybe Ji Zhang eats something different from these ghost warriors."
This is Feng He's guess. Apart from this explanation, he can't think of any other reason.
Long Chen shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, maybe."
"Since there are no other side effects, you can let the brothers take it."
The meat of ghost warriors seems to be more effective than meat dishes, at least it takes a shorter time.
Feng He said: "Sir, I will eat too."
Long Chen looked up at Feng He, slightly surprised, and asked: "You want to eat too? Have you thought about it?"
Feng He chuckled and said, "Hey, I'm so old and have children, so I don't have anything to worry about."
"Besides, the ghost clan is so powerful. If you eat meat and your cultivation level improves, you may have a better chance of surviving."
The last war deeply shocked Feng He. Facing an absolutely strong man, any cunning would be redundant.
In the past, intelligence could be obtained by means, and one could hide in the dark to ensure safety.
At this point, none of this works.
Long Chen nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you can eat together too."
Feng He's family members are all in the capital, and they are no longer hiding from Long Chen. They are all aware of his situation.
When he first cooperated with Long Chen, Feng He hid his family. Later, Long Chen became more and more powerful, and Feng He felt that there was no need to hide in Tibet anymore.
After the fall of Nanliang, Feng He had no worries at all.
The wooden door of the prison opened and Gan Zhen walked in. He bowed to Long Chen and said, "Sir."
Long Chen asked: "What's the matter?"
Gan Zhen came over and glanced at Feng He. Feng He stood up and said, "Sit down, I have something else to do."
Long Chen said: "Everyone, please sit down. Is there anything you should avoid?"
Feng He sat down again. Gan Zhen sat down sheepishly and said, "It's not that I want to avoid Lao Feng, but I'm afraid of being embarrassed if I say it."
Feng He smiled and said, "Then I'd better avoid it?"
Long Chen signaled Gan Zhen to speak directly, and Gan Zhen said: "Sir, we are the Rebellion Army. Although you didn't say it, we are equivalent to the personal guards."
"My lord, in this selection, some brothers were not selected, and they were unwilling to accept it."
Long Chen asked Wu Jian to select the Nilin Army at that time. Wu Jian was responsible for the initial training. Later, they fought many tough battles with Long Chen, and their relationship gradually became closer. They can also be regarded as Long Chen's personal bodyguards.
These people followed Long Chen through life and death. Those who were not selected this time were very frustrated and asked Gan Zhen to ask Long Chen to plead for mercy and must join the elite soldier plan.
