Song Zheng wanted to expand the Baotao Guard to 3,000 people, but he didn't expect that things happened one after another. As soon as he posted the recruitment notice, Hua Xu invaded.
Counting the losses in Xizhou, the Leopard Tao Guards now have less than 900 men left. The unlucky Mao Zhengdao has gone to the front line, and the thousand beast warriors are gone.
Li Sanyan seemed to be afraid that he would not agree, and further said: "It is the time when our Leopard Tao Guards are hiring people, and the Inspector has fewer soldiers around him. I think you are very smart and quick to respond. I recommend you to go. Well done."
If you reach the sky in one step, maybe you will be the commander-in-chief when you come out from your side."
Zhao Xiao was stunned again: Serving as a soldier for scholars?
The first reaction was one of rage: How dare he use this saint?
The second reaction was a bit strange: It seems... quite interesting.
Li Sanyan said impatiently: "You're a big man, would you like to say a word and stop being like a bitch?"
Zhao Xiao nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, thank you for your kindness."
Li San smiled and waved: "Let Shi Song out. You fools, be careful. Maybe Shi Song will be your superior officer in the future."
The two stacks of monks in the two corners were dumbfounded together: How come the one who beat the person was promoted? We are not convinced, it was obviously us who started the fight.
Zhao Xiao moved her wrist and walked out inexplicably. She was still wondering how to get out just now, but then she walked out with a strange identity.
Li San glanced at him and said: "You go and wash up first. I will ask someone to naturalize you and prepare a waist badge and Long Yiwei's uniform. When you are ready, I will take you to see the adults."
"Yes." Zhao Xiao agreed, and the captain next to her led her there.
As soon as she left, the confidants around Li Sanyan asked strangely: "Sir, how can we recruit people at will in these extraordinary times? If it is a spy, we will be guilty of a big crime."
Li Sanyan laughed strangely: "A bunch of idiots, you understand why I am now a hundred households, and you are still a captain, right? That's just a young boy!"
"Female?" The lieutenants were dumbfounded. It wasn't that they weren't good at recruiting, it was actually Zhao Xiao who had secret skills, and the disguise was so good that there were no flaws.
"Huh, I'm going to teach you another trick today. You can't just see with your eyes, you have to smell with your nose. That woman looks very similar in every aspect, and even the incense on her body is just the sandalwood that men usually use.
.
But under the sandalwood, there is still a faint scent of daughter. This has been accumulated over many years and cannot be dissipated for a while. She is definitely a beauty."
Although the subordinates admired their master's ability to do evil things, they did not dare to say: The last time you flattered your master, you took him to the Yanmen Inn. When you came back, you were severely criticized and got a hard job of maintaining the daily security of Huzhou City.
, I have been so exhausted and exhausted recently, why don’t I have a good memory and do this again?
…
Song Zheng was reading the battle reports from the front line in his study. Those truly confidential parts would definitely not be sent to Jiangnan, but the imperial court would report the war to the world so that local officials could assess the situation and detect some local changes.
After Zhao Xiao freshened up, she put on the official uniform of Longyi Guards School Lieutenant, and was led by Li Sanyan to see the scholar.
Along the way, the yamen were deep and official. She couldn't help but think that the scholar was really different now. She thought of her secret order again, and felt a special pain in her heart!
"Sir," Li Sanyan said outside the door: "I have found a soldier for you, please see if you like it."
"come in."
Li Sanyan led Zhao Xiao in: "Sir, this is Shi Song."
The war situation on the front line was not optimistic, and Song Zheng was also quite worried. He raised his eyes and suddenly frowned. Although he believed that there would be no problem with the people Li Sanyan brought, his heart was throbbing for no reason.
So he calmly raised the Void God Town and took a look.
Zhao Xiao clearly felt that the scholar's Yin Shen had improved again, and he secretly admired: I'm afraid this has touched the edge of "Heavenly Secret Sensation", and if it goes one step further, it will be the Yang Shen!
However, it is impossible to see through Zhao Xiao with the Void God Town. Song Zheng's "Desolate God Method" was originally obtained from Zhao Xiao. She is very familiar with the Ancient Thunder Destroyer and the Void God Town, and has her own secret method to deal with it.
Song Zheng looked at it and found no flaws, but the heart palpitations just now made him a little confused. After hesitation, he nodded: "Leave it."
Li San's eyes were filled with joy: "Yes, let me go and do some work."
Song Zheng waved his hand to drive him away, and then continued to read the official document: "I don't have much to do here. You wait outside. I will call you if anything happens."
"Yes." Zhao Xiao Gujing agreed without any waves and walked out.
Standing at the door, an inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in her chest: How long had it been since she had been so close to talk to a scholar? She was actually a little excited.
Song Zheng finished reading the official documents from the court and took out a private letter, which was sent by Mao Zhengdao.
Compared with the tone of "the situation is grim, but the future is bright" in the official document, Mao Zhengdao was much more realistic. He told Song Zheng that he was stationed in Lianyundao. Although it was still far away from the main battlefield, he could capture several people almost every day.
Hundreds of deserters from the front line heard that the situation was very bad.
The Hongwu Celestial Dynasty focused all their attention on Dingjie Bridge, because once Dingjie Bridge was lost, the capital would lose its last barrier.
Therefore, not many people pay attention to Wuhou Pass, Jiangjun Pass, and Lianyundao. However, there are millions of troops from the ancient Huaxu Kingdom below Wuhou Pass. Once defeated, the consequences will be equally disastrous.
"Alas..." He sighed and closed the letter.
Mao Zhengdao was not very confident and hinted in a private message that Song Zheng should make preparations early. If he wanted to, he could secretly support him with some money and materials. If the imperial court was defeated and the emperor moved the capital, he would definitely fall into the south of the Yangtze River. Song Zheng was a local snake in the south of the Yangtze River and he wanted to
The return is cashed out at that time.
To put it simply, Mao Zhengdao is preparing for a retreat.
Song Zheng did not reply to him. If such a letter fell into the hands of someone with intentions, it would be a capital crime.
He thought for a while, came out of the study, and said to the new soldiers: "Follow me for a walk." Zhao Xiao quickly followed behind.
But as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he met Zeng Baihu. He was holding a jade plate in his hand: "Sir, I don't dare to make the decision on this matter. Are you sure?"
The Gouchen family is going to hold the "Xiao Shui Sword and Song Festival".
In the past few days, there were many martial arts cultivators in the city, and they would fight each other if nothing happened. There were also some knowledgeable people among the martial arts cultivators who felt that such chaos was not a good thing, so the martial arts cultivators laughed at them.
Since the literary cultivators will hold some literary meetings before the provincial examination and the general examination, then we martial arts cultivators will also hold some "sword rallies".
It's just that these days Long Yiwei strictly prohibits gatherings without authorization for fear of causing trouble, so if you want to hold a sword meeting, you have to come to Longyi Guard to apply for registration.
In the past, several guys from small families came to apply, but Zeng Baihu turned them away mercilessly. However, the Gouchen family is one of the three aristocratic families, and Zeng Baihu did not dare to make an easy decision.
Song Zheng took a look and saw that it was just an ordinary martial arts gathering. There would be some competitions for supremacy, but there would be no ring battles, so there shouldn't be any conflicts.
He said: "That's right. It's better to block things than to block them. With so many hot-blooded martial artists gathered together, something will happen sooner or later. It would be good to have some sword fights to let them vent their anger."
"Yes." He agreed and then said: "But sir, today the Gouchen family's sword association has been approved. I'm afraid other sect families will also apply in the next few days."
"You decide based on the situation. If there are no problems, just let those martial arts have a place to go, so as not to always be jealous and cause trouble in the city."
"Yes, I understand."
Zeng Baihu went quickly, and Song Zheng went out with his soldiers. He walked around the city in casual clothes and asked about the prices. People's livelihood is relatively stable, with not much increase. However, the resources for cultivation have increased significantly, and
Some precious magical artifacts and exotic medicines are all valuable but not marketable, and it is said that they were all looted by the monks from the north.
Song Zheng looked worried: The national war really had a huge impact.
After looking around for a while, I turned back. When I was almost at the Yamen of the Prefecture, I heard someone talking: "Brother, are you going to Chen's Xiao Shui Sword and Song Recital tomorrow?"
"Go ahead, it means that the Gouchen family has such a great reputation that they can get Long Yiwei's permission. This time the Xiao Shui Sword Song Competition will have rich prizes, and if you can come out on top, it will also increase your confidence in the provincial examination."
"The prizes are huge? What kind of prizes are there?"
"Since it is said to be a sword and song competition, of course the flying sword competition is the most important. It is said that Gou Chen has designed an ingenious method to test the skills and power of the flying sword this time. If you can rank first in the flying sword, you will be rewarded
An eighth-level flying sword."
Song Zheng, who is used to the ninth level, has ruled out the exception of Lingbao. For young cultivators who still have to take the martial arts examination, the eighth level is already out of reach.
"In addition to the Flying Sword Trial, there are also the Pill Trial, the Refining Trial, and the Beast Summoning Trial. At that time, the Gouchen Family will invite three ancestors to comment. The first place will receive an eighth-level treasure, and the second and third place will receive an eighth-level treasure.
There are other rewards as well.”
The commentators gradually moved away, and Song Zheng suddenly remembered that Xiao Zhen had reminded him that Gou Chen was not honest. He paid attention secretly, and returned to the Yamen and ordered "Shi Song" to call Zeng Baihu.
"Do we have anyone in the Gouchen family?"
Zeng Baihu knew this well: "Yes, codenamed 'Baigui', he is a steward of the outer courtyard."
Song Zheng said: "Let him check the Gouchen family secretly. The situation in Huzhou City is tense now, so be careful in all aspects."
"Yes." Zeng Baihu accepted the order and went away. Song Zheng suddenly looked at Shi Song, and Zhao Xiao remained motionless with a straight face.
"Shi Song, are you in the Mingjian realm?"
Zhao Xiao said: "The early stage of Mingjian Realm."
In fact, we are already in the middle stage of the realm of clear vision.
Song Zheng nodded: "Very good! I'll give you a task. You pretend to be a casual cultivator from Fuzhou and attend the Xiaoshui Sword and Song Festival tomorrow..."
Zhao Xiao said angrily: "Why don't you go by yourself?"
Song Zheng was stunned by the rebuttal. This private soldier has a bit of personality. Zhao Xiao reacted as soon as the words came out and quickly made up for it: "This is not what I meant. I feel that if you take action in person, you will definitely win the first place."
"You don't need to win the title, you just need to find out whether the Gou Chen family has ulterior motives." He said: "I went here to bully others, and they all know me."
He was very strange in his heart. He had just been robbed of something, but he didn't feel unhappy about it. It was very strange.
