The roar of soldiers came from the camp, and murderous aura filled the entire military camp, waking Lin Zheyu from his sleep.
"I got up to train before dawn. With such amazing murderous intent, I thought the enemy was coming!"
Lin Zheyu got up and felt a terrifying murderous aura brewing outside.
These soldiers are all well-trained elite soldiers. After this period of fighting and baptism, the murderous aura in their bodies has become stronger.
There is a cold wind blowing outside, and the sky is gray and a little gray.
The soldiers were fully armed and started training in the morning under the leadership of Han Mo.
In the wild, their training is not very hard, it is mainly about running in the military formation.
Only by constantly adapting and running in can the spirit and spirit of soldiers be more perfectly integrated.
Lin Zheyu lit a bonfire not far from where the soldiers were training, cut off a large piece of meat and started grilling it.
While grilling, eating, and watching Senior Brother Han and the others training.
There are eighty soldiers in training, the other ten are patrolling and standing guard, and the remaining ten are serving as scouts, watching along the official road.
A military formation composed of eighty soldiers is completely incomparable to a miniature military formation composed of ten soldiers.
The more soldiers there are, the more complete the military formation is.
The soldiers' spirit and energy were connected together, and huge energy surged in the military formation.
The energy condensed by the concentration of murderous spirit and spirit flows among the soldiers in the military formation. All the soldiers together form the energy pool of the military formation.
Not only generals can mobilize this energy, but soldiers can also mobilize it, but the priority is lower than that of generals.
"This military formation is so magical!"
Lin Zheyu took a bite of the barbecue and praised.
It is very difficult to break through the military formation by killing soldiers.
When encountering an attack, the soldiers near the attacked position will mobilize energy together, and their strength will be greatly improved.
Soldiers in the military formation form a group of ten. When attacked, the ten soldiers will mobilize the energy in the military formation, and their aura will increase rapidly.
At this time, Lin Zheyu also understood why his senior brother said that if he was given a hundred elite soldiers, he would dare to fight even a martial artist in the Marrow Training Realm.
Lin Zheyu felt a little frightened by the energy surging in the military formation composed of eighty elite soldiers.
This energy is very strong, blended into the murderous spirit tempered by soldiers fighting for many years, making it extremely fierce and domineering.
"Brother, give it!"
After the training, Lin Zheyu handed over a piece of barbecued meat.
"This military formation is so magical, can I experience it?" Lin Zheyu asked tentatively.
He had asked Han Mo about the military formation before, but it was confidential, so Han Mo did not tell him in detail.
"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about it."
"Every soldier who forms the military formation needs to swear allegiance to the Wei Dynasty and drip blood on the talisman. Only in this way can the spirit and spirit be connected through the military formation."
"This kind of talisman is bound to the soldiers. Even if it is taken away, it cannot be used."
"Even if ordinary people know the formation of a military formation, they can't form a military formation without talisman cards." Han Mo shook his head and said.
A symbol is an identity token worn by soldiers to prove their identity. Only elite soldiers are eligible to own it.
Talisman? Blood?
Lin Zheyu was stunned. This inexplicable sense of déjà vu reminded him of the magic weapon for cultivating immortality in the novel.
"Could this talisman be a magic weapon from the Immortal family?" Lin Zheyu asked.
"What magical weapon of the Immortal Family? It is an important weapon of the country. It is a national weapon that has been refined with the efforts of the whole country. It is the basis for maintaining the peace and stability of the Wei Dynasty."
Han Mo said.
Talisman cards were widely used by officials and the military system of the Wei Dynasty and were of great use.
Talisman cards in the army have different authority according to their military rank. The higher the military rank, the greater the authority of the talisman they have.
"Can I take a look?" Lin Zheyu asked.
Han Mo thought for a while and nodded.
Talisman cards cannot be snatched away. Lin Zheyu is his junior brother and a trustworthy person. Just looking at it means nothing.
He took out a token the size of a baby's palm from his arms, which recorded Han Mo's name, birthplace, and birthday.
I don’t know what kind of metal this talisman is made of, but it feels warm and moist, like touching a piece of beautiful jade.
Lin Zheyu observed carefully for a while and found nothing.
Apart from feeling like jade, the talisman looks ordinary.
If senior brother Han Mo hadn't said that this thing was related to the military formation, he wouldn't have thought there was anything special about it and would have just regarded it as an ordinary item.
Similar talismans were found on the ten elite soldiers when he killed Xing Jinglong and the troops he brought.
The talisman on the soldier's body is relatively rough in production and does not feel as warm and moist as jade. It is similar to an ordinary iron talisman.
At that time, he only thought they were identity tokens worn by soldiers and did not dare to collect them, so he threw them directly into the ditch.
After returning the talisman card, Han Mo either couldn't tell more information, or he didn't know it himself.
crackle.
The bonfire was burning, and Lin Zheyu was absentmindedly roasting meat, thinking about the talisman and the military formation.
This involves the methods of the immortal family, which is not something that a warrior can do.
But Master Liang and his senior brother both said that those who cultivate immortality have become demons. In the mouth of the senior brother, cultivating immortals is called a forbidden art.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this world.
The sky is getting brighter, and the golden sun rises from the mountains in the distance.
After dawn, Lin Zheyu said goodbye to his senior brother.
He plans to continue wandering in the mountains and forests, getting familiar with the environment in the mountains and forests, and at the same time hunting the bandits in the mountains and forests.
These bandits are not good people. With fewer bandits, people's lives will be more stable.
Lin Zheyu took a map they drew from Han Mo. Some places were much more detailed than his previous map.
Shashasha
In the mountain forest, the trees make a rustling sound.
A young man in fancy clothes, holding a map, quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests at an extremely fast speed, and his body flashed by.
There are many mountains and forests outside Songyi City and the area is very wide. Although there are many bandits, it is not easy to encounter them because of the wide area.
Lin Zheyu took the initiative to search around, and encountered only four waves of bandits throughout the day, but he encountered quite a few hunters and herb collectors.
The hunters and herb collectors were extremely cautious. After discovering him, they stayed away and tried not to come into contact with him.
When we returned to Songyi City, it was already Shenshi.
Entering the city gate, Lin Zheyu felt familiar sights.
"Lin Zheyu?!"
At the gate of the city, the members of the Wuding Gang who were responsible for keeping track were stunned when they saw Lin Zheyu, then quickly got up and ran towards the Xing family.
The superiors have ordered that when Lin Zheyu is found, he should report it immediately.
Lin Zheyu looked at the man running away without stopping him. Sooner or later, the Xing family would know about his return.
"I wonder if the bodies of Xing Jinglong and others have been found?"
Lin Zheyu thought secretly.
In the wilderness, their bodies had probably been eaten up by wild beasts long ago. But Lin Zheyu felt that with the Xing family's ability, they should be able to find them.
Without thinking much, Lin Zheyu went straight home.
Put away the full parcels, and you will gain a lot from this trip.
Originally, he thought that he could only obtain healing medicine, poisonous powder, and hidden weapons from the bandits. Unexpectedly, he would be surprised when he went to Senior Brother Han's place and ran into a bandit who had just intercepted some goods from the caravan.
I took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and went out again.
He is now a member of the Feihong Gang, and together with Jia Yanyong and Xie Jiang, he is responsible for maintaining order in several blocks near Baiwei Street.
I've been out for two days. When I come back, I need to say hello to them and ask them some questions.
"Where are Xie Jiang and the others?"
Lin Zheyu found a Feihong gang member on the road and asked.
"They were listening to music at Baihua Tower."
"Well, patrol well."
Lin Zheyu patted his younger brother on the shoulder and walked towards Baihua Tower.
"Brother Lin!"
"You are finally back. If you don't come back, I will worry about you getting into trouble outside the city." Xie Jiang saw Lin Zheyu and said with a smile.
"It's not that scary outside the city. With my strength, if something happens if I go out for a walk, all the ordinary people living outside the city will be dead long ago."
Lin Zheyu said with a smile, and came to sit next to a few people.
The dancers on the stage are dancing. They are all new faces with good figures, but their dance moves are a bit green.
"Nothing happened in the past two days, right?" Lin Zheyu asked.
"No, it's very good."
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone is busy with New Year's celebrations. Few people will make trouble here." Jia Yanyong said.
He picked up the jug and poured a bowl of wine for Lin Zheyu: "Here, let us have a drink!"
"Done!"
Lin Zheyu raised his wine bowl, touched it with them, and drank it all in one gulp.
"How do you feel about going out of the city this time? Did you meet any powerful bandits?" Jia Yanyong asked curiously.
He is a war-mad man who likes to fight with Xie Jiang and Ning Hui whenever he has nothing to do.
If you don’t fight for a few days, you will feel uncomfortable all over.
Jia Yanyong was very interested in the bandits outside the city, and he also had the idea of going out to kill a few bandits, but Xie Jiang quickly put an end to the idea.
Xie Jiang believes that for Jia Yanyong, who is warlike and doesn't like to use his brain, going out alone is no different than committing suicide.
"If you meet a few, your strength will be average."
Lin Zheyu asked: "I found many bottles and jars of medicine powder, poison powder, and hidden weapons tempered with poison from them. Do you know where to get these things?"
He had gone to Manager Wu to buy poison before, but he could only buy a small amount, as this stuff was strictly controlled in the city.
"This kind of thing is not easy to sell. Songyicheng is very strict about poisonous powder and hidden weapons. You can ask Ning Hui, he may know where to sell it." Xie Jiang said.
Although he usually likes to gossip, he rarely comes into contact with such things.
When the Bai family was still alive, Ning Hui's father worked as a steward in the Bai Mansion and knew a lot of things. Ning Hui may know some of this kind of thing.
"Well, I'll go find him later."
Lin Zheyu nodded, leaned on the chair, listened to the ditty and enjoyed the dance.
The group of young dancers just finished their dance and walked off the stage, replaced by a group of familiar faces, and enthusiastic shouts rang out in the building.
Compared with the beautiful but youthful dancers just now, they prefer the current group of dancers with weak and boneless waists and enchanting charm.
"You are indeed here!"
"Hey, Brother Lin, you're back. Didn't you have fun outside the city?"
A familiar voice sounded, and Ning Hui came over and greeted several people with a smile.
The site he was responsible for was next to Lin Zheyu and the others. When he was bored, he often came here for a stroll.
"The outside of the city is very desolate and there are bandits everywhere. What fun is there?"
Lin Zheyu said, moving to the right to make room for Ning Hui.
"You came just in time. Brother Lin went out of the city and got a lot of poisonous powder and hidden weapons from the bandits. Do you have any way to sell them?" Xie Jiang said.
"Is it a lot? If it's not a lot, I'll take care of it for you." Ning Hui asked.
"Not too little."
Lin Zheyu thought for a moment and said, not only were the poisons and hidden weapons, but the jewelry was also difficult to deal with openly.
"Awesome!"
"Brother Lin went out this time and met a lot of bandits. Not only did he come back safely, but he was also able to kill them and touch their corpses." Ning Hui gave Lin Zheyu a thumbs up and said.
"It's just a fluke. All I encountered were bandits who were not popular with others." Lin Zheyu said.
"If you want to sell these contraband items, I know of a black market, in a secret underground stronghold in Pingnan District, Outer City." Ning Hui thought for a while and said.
The black market in the city is all run behind the scenes by aristocratic families, and the official estimate is that there are also some complicit people.
Back then, Ning Hui's father worked as a steward of the Bai family and was responsible for business related to the black market, so he happened to know a lot of inside information.
"Hey, I knew I was right to ask you about this." Xie Jiang said with a smile.
"Please tell me carefully where it is in Pingnan District?" Lin Zheyu said.
"The location is a little unclear. Do you have a map?" Ning Hui said, "Paper and pen will do, I'll draw it."
"Boy, bring a pen and paper over here!"
Lin Zheyu immediately called the waiter and asked for a piece of paper and pen.
Ning Hui took the pen and paper and began to draw on the paper: "This is the intersection of Pingnan District and Baishan District. In this area is a big tree four to five meters high. Next to it is a river, facing the big tree...
”
"Find the old house, enter and be guarded, and after matching the code, you can enter the secret underground stronghold through the secret passage."
"The black market is only open on the evening of the 1st and 15th of each month. It will be open normally on the first day after the new year. Don't miss the time."
Ning Hui said, handing the sketch over. It was very detailed and came with simple notes.
"Thanks!"
"I'm inviting you to Baihualou this time, so you can have a good time!" Lin Zheyu put away the sketch and said with a smile.
"This is what you said. I want to order Zhaofeng Girl. I have been reluctant to order it because it was too expensive." Ning Hui laughed and said.
"Just order it, you're welcome."
Lin Zheyu said boldly.
As a courtesy, Xie Jiang and others often invited him.
I gained a lot from this trip to the city. After selling the jewelry and many poison powder concealed weapons, I estimate that I can get more than a hundred taels of silver.
……
Xing Family Martial Arts Field.
On a cold day, Xing Jingan’s upper body was bare, revealing his smooth muscle lines, and he was covered in sweat.
"Tell me what's going on."
Xing Jing'an looked at the young man from the Wuding Gang in front of him and said.
"Sir, Lin Zheyu from the Feihong Gang is back. I saw him coming in from the west gate with three packages on his back." said the boy from the Wuding Gang.
"Come back?"
"Is he injured?" Xing Jingan asked.
"I'm not injured, and there are no signs of fighting on my body," said the Wu Ding gang member.
"Go down and ask the people who met Lin Zheyu that day to come and see me." Xing Jing'an ordered.
He has asked the spies in the city, and there are no obvious signs of transfers from other forces, including the Feihong Gang.
His younger brother Xing Jinglong did chase Lin Zheyu out of the city that day, otherwise Xing Jinglong would not have gone to such a remote place.
The opponent chose such a remote location, which was obviously premeditated.
"There is no record of the mobilization of the city guards. Several key passes outside the city were stationed in place that day, and they were not mobilized because of bandits."
"Is it possible that there are other forces behind that kid, or is it the hands of those bandits?"
"Or is it that someone took this opportunity to attack my Xing family, but only spared that kid's life, hoping to provoke a conflict between the Xing family and the Xu family and reap the benefits?"
Xing Jingan thought, frowning slightly.
He never thought that Lin Zheyu would do this alone.
In his opinion, Lin Zheyu is just a little guy in the bone forging realm. He doesn't have the ability or the right to mobilize so many people.
