Fire Monster

Chapter 152: Money and Wife
When Zhao Guanshan woke up from a deep sleep, his mental strength, which was almost exhausted and torn apart, quickly recovered. This feeling was like a new life.

"This war should be over soon, right?"

He sat up slowly, thinking to himself, so far, the war has lasted for one month and twenty-four days, which is almost the average duration of each war in the past fifty years.

Once the war is over, the entire Linjiang Prefecture will enter a relatively stable development stage. At that time, their second pioneering city will be in trouble.

But now, I can at least hold on for a few more months.

Because of this fight, the Demon Suppression Division certainly could not punish them, and even the Governor had to consider them as heroes.

Since he is a meritorious official, he must be rewarded according to the procedures, and then we can move on.

"Brother, are you awake?"

Xiao Chengyun's voice was heard outside the door, and then the door was kicked open, and she rushed in hurriedly.

"Hurry, hurry, stop being in a daze. There is still a lot to do. Senior Sister Yuwei has raided the nest of Cuihonglou and rescued more than 600 criminals and their children, as well as 124 female martial arts apprentices who have gone astray."

"In addition, the two Imperial Seal Chariots have been fully charged, and the psychic heavy crossbows seized from the Cuihong Tower have been installed, but it is still not enough. At least ten psychic heavy crossbows are needed on the top of the city. This task is left to you. You will repair the damaged psychic heavy crossbows and assemble a spiritual supply tower in the barracks."

"how about you?"

Zhao Guanshan rubbed his eyes and looked at Xiao Chengyun, who seemed to have transformed into the hostess.

"I'm going to perform the Dispersal and Cutting Spell on those criminals and their children. Originally, I had no way to save them, but now that we have a Level 1 Spiritual Supply Array and have enough spiritual energy to squander, we have to save all of them. They will be residents of this city in the future and can help us farm and do other things. We can also open a small Taoist temple to train students in both the arts and martial arts."

"The other 124 female martial arts apprentices who went astray were also forcibly assigned by Senior Sister Yuwei and I to those unmarried recruits. They will settle down here and have children. Yes, that's right, there are a total of 124 households. Senior Brother, please think of a way. We have used too much material to repair the city wall, and it is not enough to build the imperial residences."

"That's it, the rest is up to you."

Xiao Chengyun finished speaking in a hurry, and then ran out in a hurry.

What does that mean? If you don’t have a solution, then I do?
Zhao Guanshan felt helpless and a little regretful at the same time. Cuihong Tower was gone and he had not had time to check in and take a picture.

Besides, there are so many female martial arts apprentices who have gone astray...

Well, this is a just action.

Brothels are not allowed in the Taoist palace, and all women of childbearing ability must get married. But it is obvious that this rule can still be maintained in Linjiang Prefecture, but it is really not taken seriously on the front line.

In addition, the owner behind the Cuihonglou is not only powerful in the Governor's Office, but also a big boss in the Demon Suppression Office.

If the previous incident with the third-level imperially-sealed chariot was counted, they had already offended the other party twice.

So next, the other party’s revenge may come at any time, and the road ahead will still be difficult.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guanshan walked out of the room. He first assembled the spirit-supplying square tower that had been dismantled before in the lobby on the first floor, and then began to set up the spirit-supplying lines.

This is a very easy thing to do, but most people can't do it.

Easy means that no physical lines are needed, because there is a vortex of psychic energy above your head and psychic energy is everywhere.

You can connect it by simply attaching a thread, and there is no need to pull a line from Linjiang Prefecture across hundreds of miles.

But the difficulty lies here too. Once the psychic vortex is formed, it is very stable. Its internal pressure value is a secret that only Zhao Guanshan and Xiao Chengyun know.

Others either have to keep trying to crack it, or they have to attack by force and destroy it bit by bit.

If you want to steal spiritual energy, it’s impossible.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that as the pressure value of the psychic vortex increases, the energy consumption increases, and the tolerance to demonic energy and evil spirits decreases.

And vice versa.

The reason why demons of level three and below can sneak into Linjiang Prefecture is purely man-made. On the one hand, it is to save spiritual energy, and on the other hand, it is also to remind the residents not to forget the crisis.

As for the spiritual energy vortex here, Zhao Guanshan and Xiao Chengyun chose to allow third-level and lower demons to infiltrate. It's not that they can't achieve zero tolerance, but that it would consume too much spiritual energy and the cost would outweigh the gain.

Instead of doing this, the best solution would be to build first and second level imperial seal huts in the city.

During the day, increase the psychic vortex pressure, and at night, reduce the psychic vortex pressure, and use psychic energy at staggered times. This is a mature and efficient method.

In less than half an hour, Zhao Guanshan completed the spiritual energy access to the Spirit Supply Tower. With a flash of spiritual light, it could be officially put into use.

Here, many people have already lined up to charge their energy storage spirit stones, because Liu Yuwei has announced that charging will be free within one month.

"Zhao Guanshan, Zhao Guanshan!"

It was Yang Mao who was calling. He was also in the queue, very excited. While waving his hands, he did not forget to tightly hold a charming woman with a curvy figure, a round butt, fair skin, beautiful face and long legs.

As he was one of the new recruits and had no marriage record, he was sent to a woman from Cuihonglou.

In fact, all the people queuing here at the moment were this kind of combination, rookies + misguided beautiful female martial arts apprentices, even female martial arts, and even the charming Liu Niang, all were treated equally, and no one knew which lucky one got shot. Anyway, the veterans were envious and jealous, and the rookies were jubilant. It looked like even Xu Ming's rookie team had been turned against him.

Because there is nothing in this world more tempting than giving money and women.

"Zhao Guanshan, it's so hard to see you. I heard that you are now the deputy captain. Have you got a wife? Aren't you still unmarried? Come on, call me sister-in-law."

As soon as Zhao Guanshan walked over, Yang Mao introduced it enthusiastically and couldn't let it go.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Zhao Guanshan did not lose face for Yang Mao and called out very readily. The woman was a little embarrassed. Although her eyes were still full of charm, she still looked very virtuous.

"Yang Mao, now that you've gotten married, you can only have children here from now on. Be more careful in your actions and don't bully your sister-in-law. Life in this world is not easy for everyone."

Zhao Guanshan gave a special warning.

"Hey, how do you know I'm not safe? In the past month, I have learned how to assemble and repair five kinds of weapons. Commander Liu praised me. Even if I can't advance to a martial artist in the future, I can still support my family. Of course, if you can think of a way to help me advance, that would be great. I have already cultivated four breaths of pure Yang Qi, but because I took the demon-sealing potion, I can't advance in this life."

Yang Mao was very upset.

Life is always full of ups and downs.

He and Liu Erya were in love with each other and had decided to spend their lives together, but when the war broke out, he was forcibly conscripted, and Liu Erya left him at the critical moment.

Then he arrived at the frontline as a soldier. He was still ignorant, but was noticed by Ding Wanjin, who made him his personal guard. He was specialized in training and was given all kinds of resources without paying any money.

I thought that with the strong wind and flying clouds, I, Yang Mao, would go to heaven. However, the good days didn't last long. Ding Wanjin was killed by someone. He was also left in the basement for several days without anyone taking care of him because of his injuries.

He thought that this would be the way his next life would be, but he never expected to have a wife here.

Gee tut,
At this point in life, what does the husband want?
"Brother Zhao! Brother Zhao! Look over here, I'm Han Erzi!"

At the back of the team, someone was shouting again, and there were quite a lot of familiar faces.

So Zhao Guanshan said to Yang Mao: "Do what you should do first, don't be lazy. When I have time, I will arrange something for you, whether it's going to the front line or being a maintenance apprentice in the rear, or even I can arrange an operating table for you and open a small workshop. It's all fine."

"Really? Then I definitely don't want to go to the front line. Tell me in detail. As long as you open a small workshop for me and your sister-in-law, I will call you dad!"

Yang Mao grabbed Zhao Guanshan. Now he no longer had the ambitious mentality as when he was in the Taoist Academy's martial arts department, wanting to go to the front line to make merit and become famous. Being alive is better than anything else.

"father!"

Yang Mao's wife even spoke directly. She really knows how to ask for help.

Seeing that other people around him were about to follow suit, Zhao Guanshan was about to explode.

"Shut up!"

"Fuck you, Yang Mao!"

Zhao Guanshan only had time to say hello to Han Erzi before he could only flee in panic.

Damn, which gentleman can withstand such a test!

After leaving the camp headquarters, I saw that the entire camp town had changed.

At least half of the barracks were demolished by Xiao Chengyun's order, so a large open space was left. At the central roundabout, hundreds of criminals with hideous faces were queuing up, most of them were women.

A big reason why Cuihonglou has continued to keep them is that there are always some customers with special hobbies willing to patronize them.

It is said that there is a special kind of pleasure in the moon demon.

In short, it's difficult to stretch.

But if you just think about the succubus back home on Earth, you’ll know that it’s the same everywhere.

"Zhao Guanshan? When I heard your name these days, I almost thought I had heard it wrong." A figure ran over. It was Xu Ming. It was not easy. After more than twenty days, they finally had the chance to meet.

"Brother Xu, that's great, you're still alive! I don't know how worried my sister-in-law must be at home. By the way, have you been home before?"

"I went back to report that I'm safe. Thank you so much, Brother Zhao. I felt at the time that you were an extraordinary person and would soar to the sky sooner or later. I never thought that in just two months, you have really accomplished something great."

Xu Ming was deeply moved. As the team leader, he was in daily contact with Liu Yuwei, so he knew a little more.

"By the way, Brother Zhao, there is something I would like to ask you to do for me. I don't know what Commander Liu was thinking. He directly gave wives to my new recruits. I only have 39 men in total, and 39 of them were directly bewitched and left. If the higher-ups investigate, I will not be able to report to them!"

"Ah, this, don't worry, let's slowly figure it out, don't worry, haha!"

Zhao Guanshan really had no way to deal with this matter, at least not for now. It could be a big or small matter, so he would deal with it in the future.

Anyway, he couldn't give Xu Ming a clear answer now.

Fortunately, isn’t there still two months left in the stationing period?
