To be honest, Zhao Ran felt a little guilty for not being able to teach Song Xiong's skills, but there was nothing he could do about it. Therefore, he could only make up for his first named disciple in other ways, such as paving the way.
Zhao Ran brought Song Xiong to the garrison camp and told Ning Shouyu that he was his disciple and his specialty was martial arts. Now that he wanted to have a job in the army, he asked Ning Shouyu to help take care of him.
Ning Shouyu immediately understood. For a military general like him, arranging duties and appointments is a matter of casualness. Since he is a disciple of Abbot Zhao and has "excellent military force", he definitely cannot be a leader. In the end, he is a disciple of Abbot Zhao.
At least it's a small flag, and it's a small flag that points to one's own army.
The small flag among the soldiers means that as soon as you have achieved military exploits, you can immediately be transferred to lead the army, and the next step is the road to Qingyun - as long as you don't die.
After arranging Song Xiong's affairs, a few days later, another acquaintance reported.
Rather than reporting in, it is better to say that Zhao Ran went to get people. When Zhao Ran was helping Guo Zhiwei and Fairy Toad Palace in Dajun Mountain, he received the flying talisman from Pei Zhongze, so he quickly left the cave and rushed to the garrison camp.
.
Pei Zhongze took Zhao Ran to a military tent, which was where prisoners were held. Of course, the prisoners were prisoners who practiced spiritual practice, so they were sealed tightly by the talisman array.
There was only one person in the tent, who was tied tightly with tendons and had a restraining talisman stuck on his forehead. He was lying on a haystack unable to move, with only one pair of eyes left spinning around. He looked extremely embarrassed, but it had been two years.
Missing Bai Geng.
Zhao Ran sighed and nodded to Pei Zhongze: "That's him. Senior Brother Pei, please relax. There's a misunderstanding."
Pei Zhongze smiled, reached out and took off the restraining talisman on Bai Geng's forehead, and broke the tendon with a wave of his hand. Bai Geng jumped up, took out a bronze mirror from his arms, hurriedly arranged his clothes, combed his hair, and then
Salute to Zhao Ran: "I've seen Zhao Xingxing."
Zhao Ran pointed to his hair, and a breeze rose up, blowing away the hay clippings on his head, and asked Pei Zhongze: "What procedures need to be done?"
Pei Zhongze shook his head: "Just take him away." Then he said to Bai Geng: "Be more cautious in the future. This is a military camp. There is no place for you to spy on me secretly!"
"Yes, yes, please pay more attention in the future. You will cause trouble to Taoist Pei."
Zhao Ran led him out and asked, "Bai Geng, why did you come to the military camp to spy?"
Bai Geng said helplessly: "The Baihe River is known as the natural danger of Songfan. It's such a beautiful scenery. Now that I'm here, how can I not come and take a look? Unexpectedly, I approached the military camp while walking. It was fine. I happened to see a sergeant on the river from a distance.
After practicing, I got closer..."
"You didn't suffer any big losses, did you? Senior Brother Pei is my good friend, and he is also responsible for it. Don't blame him."
"How can I? I won't blame him. I'm used to it, so I don't suffer anything."
"Don't you have a badge on you?"
"The Master of Dongfang Hall asked me to come and report to you. He doesn't have Junshanwei's badge. You will give it to me after meeting you."
Bringing Bai Geng back to Junshan, Huangshan Jun lay on the big rock, lazily raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Ran and Bai Geng behind him, then closed his eyelids again and snored.
Bai Geng marveled: "The noble sect is so generous, using spirit demons to guard the mountain gate."
When he saw the spirit monsters running around the lake, Bai Geng was even speechless, especially when he pointed at one of the huge spirit wolves and opened his mouth for a long time before he said: "I
I’ve seen it before! This is the Junshan Wolf!”
Sitting down at a small pavilion by the lake, Zhao Ran asked: "Last month I asked Senior Brother Dongfang for someone, and he recommended you. I thought you wouldn't come. What did you think? Don't you want to travel around the world? Why did you suddenly
Have you changed your mind?"
Bai Geng said: "I have traveled a lot in the past two years and seen a lot of scenery. It is really one of the joys of life! I didn't plan to come back at first, but I heard that I was going to Xixia, so... I have been yearning for Xixia since I was a child.
, but it’s a pity that I have never dared to go. Now that I have such an honorable opportunity, I must go and experience it.”
Zhao Ran hurriedly waved his hand to stop him: "Stop it. If you are going to Xixia to see the scenery, forget it. What I want is a warehouse manager who is stationed in Xingqing. He is there to do things, not to have fun."
Bai Geng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Zhao Xingxing, if you ask me to do something, since I have accepted it, I will definitely do it well. Watching the scenery is just my free time, I won't miss anything."
Is it true? Zhao Ran is a little doubtful, but he has always been kind to others and is unwilling to deny others easily. What's more, he also believes in Dongfang Li's vision. Since Dongfang Li recommended this person, he must have something unique.
So Zhao Ran took out a waist badge that had already been carved and threw it over. Bai Geng took it and looked at it. The word "Junshan" was engraved on it in seal script.
"If I look like this, does it count as officially joining the Junshan Guards of the West Hall of Sanqing Pavilion?"
"What do you think?"
"Well, meet the envoy of the Guard!"
"Pull him down."
Zhao Ran began to explain the tasks to Bai Geng.
When we went to Xingqing, Bai Geng went to Xingqing to represent Zhao Ran as the storekeeper of the warehouse. Zhao Ran had already negotiated the address of the warehouse with the owners of Jinbo Club when he was in Xingqing. Jinbo Club had also bought the house, and Bai Geng was waiting for Bai Geng.
Geng went.
Bai Geng's main job was to participate in the Jinbo Auction House's bidding and buy back the things Zhao Ran needed. To this end, Zhao Ran issued a list for him, and the first item on the list was Han slaves.
At the same time, Zhao Ran will also organize the supply of goods to be sent to Xingqing and handed over to Bai Geng, who will bid at the auction house.
In addition, Zhao Ran hoped that Bai Geng could actively use his subjective initiative and find ways to purchase some good horses, but the prerequisite was that the Xixia officials and Tianlong Academy would not find out.
If there is any urgent matter, you can report it to Zhao Ran Feifu. But Zhao Ran reminded him that the warehouse will be under the strict supervision of Tianlongyuan. Therefore, he mainly collects public information and does not take the initiative to spy on secrets. If there is anything important,
It is best not to use flying talismans to deliver information to prevent it from being intercepted by Tenryuin.
After the explanation, Zhao Ran spent a lot of time telling the background and connections between the upper-level figures in the Jinbo Club, so that Bai Geng would not be in a dark situation after he left.
After listening, Bai Geng repeated it several times, until he remembered it all completely, Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "I've explained everything, and then it's up to you. This is nothing compared to you traveling around.
It's a brain-consuming job and quite boring, but I hope..."
"No, I think it's quite interesting, going deep behind enemy lines, haha, it's exciting just thinking about it!"
"...It's better not to take things too lightly...Do you have any other questions?"
Bai Geng pondered for a moment and asked: "Cheng'an is very important. Since he is a merchant from the Ming Dynasty, um, a fellow countryman of Long'an Mansion, do I have a chance to instigate him?"
