Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 132: Hundred Households
Jiaozhou Prefecture, Sansi Yamen, Dusi Office
After dawn, Qin Huai, who had not slept all night, came to the tent of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Shen Zhong.

"Mr. Deputy Commander, Ye Buxiu, the flag officer Qin Huai, is asking for a meeting!"

"Enter"

Shen Zhong looked at Qin Huai, who was bowing and clasping his fists in the tent, and nodded with a calm tone.

"Breakthrough?"

"Your Excellency, your discerning eyes are sharp. You can hide nothing from me. I have just made a breakthrough."

Shen Zhong put down the arrow in his hand, stood up, walked to Qin Huai, and patted his capable general.

"Come on, give me a hand."

Qin Huai nodded happily. He just wanted to find a reference to estimate his own strength at the moment. Of course, it would be even better if he could test the depth of this deputy envoy.

The two men came to the round steel table in the corner of the tent, took a firm horse stance, and after holding the edge of the table, their two palms, one big and one small, pressed tightly together.

The iron fingers in their palms tightly grasped the steel and copper bones, and the two men's arms suddenly burst out with unparalleled strength. With a series of teeth-grinding creaking sounds, the fine steel round table was gradually twisted and full of dents.

Qin Huai's eyes narrowed, and the muscles on his forearms bulged.

"enough"

After a stalemate, Shen Zhong called for a stop.

The black steel table has a high bulge in the middle, and the elbow supports on both sides are deeply sunken, obviously it can't be compared.

Qin Huai shook his hands and looked at Shen Zhong who had no reaction in front of him with a serious expression.

Although the water vapor in the tent is thin now, Qin Huai only has the most basic Canglan bonus, but after the breakthrough, Qin Huai's arms are also strong enough to have thousands of pounds of strength. Even with such wrist strength, he can't get any advantage from Shen Zhong. It seems that the water in Bingshen 33 is much deeper than he imagined.
"Yes, it seems that you have gained something from your trip to Blue Mountain."

Shen Zhong returned to his desk, picked up his ink pen, and wrote down a document in a very eloquent manner.

"Take it and go find Councillor Xin. With your merits and strength, you are more than qualified to be promoted to a centurion."

"Yes!"

Qin Huai took the document, looked at the powerfully written word "令", and hurriedly responded, saying yes.

"Copper skin, iron bones, steel and silver tendons, could it be possible that I can produce a reincarnated Martial Saint under my command?"

Shen Zhong looked at his slightly red right hand, thinking that he had just been tested and was at least a young military officer of the third level of military strategist. He was a little unsure for a moment, so he simply ignored it and continued to study his precious arrowhead.

"To be able to maintain such a high level of exertion for such a long time without blushing or panting, one's physical strength is definitely stronger than that of a person at the fourth level of Dao Art."

Canglan's blessing is physical fitness and strength, and practicing fighting skills improves all-round qualities. Being able to compete with Qin Huai, whose body has been strengthened many times, this military method is really not to be underestimated.
Turning back to the Provincial Administration Office, Qin Huai, under the guidance of a clerk, met Lord Xin whom Shen Zhongyao had asked him to find.

Xin Yao, an official of the Left Councillor of Jiaozhi Provincial Government, was from Jiaolai. He was not only a fellow villager of the original body's father, but also a close friend. Back then, Qin's father was a military officer accompanying the Three Departments, guarding Xin Yao all the way, and they had gone through untold hardships to arrive at the Jiaozhi Longyuan.

Qin Huai entered the room and looked at the thin old man who was twirling a pen in deep thought at the desk, but he did not disturb him rashly.

After a long time, the man in green official uniform with a peacock embroidered on his chest finally came to his senses and caught a glimpse of Qin Huai who had been standing respectfully beside him for a long time.

"Runjin, you're here."

"Uncle Xin, I am here on the orders of Deputy Envoy Shen Zhong to review and deliver the official documents."

Qin Huai handed the official document from the Military Commission to Xin Yao with both hands. "Well, you have been in the army for six years, participated in the war for four years, and killed hundreds of enemy chieftains and demons in battle. This position should indeed be promoted. But Runjin, if you were willing to become Master Huang's disciple, you would have stayed in the Third Commission and governed a region. I don't know what you are thinking, but you insist on learning from your father and taking up a knife to fight for your future."

"I dare not forget my family's martial arts, not to mention Jiaozhi is in a remote place. Rebels and demons are emerging one after another. To protect the safety of the Ming people, Huai has no choice but to do his duty."

"That's all. Just follow me."

After Xin Yao made his reply on the document and affixed his official seal, he stood up, straightened his hat, fastened the jade belt around his waist, and motioned Qin Huai to follow him.

"Huang Ruxi! Don't keep talking about Zhang Wenbi! Even if he's not here, as the chief of the Three Departments, are you going to just sit there and watch that Li snatch our royal favor and openly challenge the authority of the Three Departments?!"

Ma Qi shouted at the top of his lungs and slammed the mahogany table beside him, making a deafening noise. His neatly combed hair was now a little disheveled, and his expression was as hideous and terrifying as that of a demon.

Huang Fu, the governor of Jiaozhi and the chief judge, had his eyes narrowed, one hand on his forehead and the other hand tapping the huanghuali table.

"Sir, the Duke has just suppressed the rebellion and has specifically instructed me not to start a war again. Moreover, the army is not in Longyuan, and the three officials are staying behind and cannot move without authorization. Even if I want to send troops to seek justice for Sir, I am really powerless!"

"Then let the old Taoist priest from Qingwei Mountain come with me. I am the military supervisor appointed by the emperor to represent the royal family. I can't just swallow my anger!"

Ma Qi's eyes rolled and his tone became cold. Seeing that this method didn't work, he came up with another plan.

"Dehong Gaogong is a Taoist master and is not under the jurisdiction of the Three Departments. Moreover, the old Taoist's whereabouts are erratic, even the military supervisor probably can't find his trace."

"Nonsense! I saw him drinking tea with you yesterday! Huang Ruxi, don't take advantage of your position as the head of the Third Department to take revenge and do whatever you want! If you don't agree, I will write to His Majesty and punish you for your incompetence!"

As soon as Xin Yao led Qin Huai in, he saw the two of them arguing with each other. Smelling the strong smell of gunpowder in the meeting room, Xin Yao coughed twice, and Huang Fu waved his hand as if he had seen someone to help him out.

"Sir, I have some official business to attend to. Let's leave this matter alone. Please return."

Qin Huai saw Huang Fu winking at him, and quietly walked to Ma Qi's side.

"Master Military Supervisor, please come in."

Ma Qi didn't move at all, obviously intending to fight Huang Fu to the end.

"My Lord, I am sorry."

Seeing this, Qin Huai was no longer willing to tolerate the old eunuch. He reached down with his arms and grabbed the old eunuch tightly, intending to move him and his chair out of the conference room.

The old eunuch snorted coldly and tried to break free with all his strength to teach this ungrateful military officer a lesson.

His muscles and bones stretched, his flesh expanded, and no matter what means Ma Qi used, Qin Huai absorbed all the force without changing his expression, and gently placed the old eunuch outside the hall.

The old eunuch blushed with shame, but he did not stand up. He continued to sit there and wait, obviously planning to move in as soon as Qin Huai left.

Qin Huai shrugged, ignored the unreasonable old eunuch, turned around and walked into the meeting room.

Huang Fu held in his hand the official document that Xin Yao had just presented, looked at Qin Huai who walked into the hall, stroked his long beard, and was very satisfied.

"Not bad, not bad, you are indeed a talented person. Qin Runjin, right? From now on, you will be the chief of the Yebu Baihu.

Since you are a member of the Yebu Shou Baihu and have such powerful strength, it just so happens that the Three Departments have an important task for you to do recently.

I wonder if you are willing? "
