Shennong Sequence

Chapter 7: Forcing a Good Man
"Everyone, it's already late tonight. You have no identity in this guardhouse, so you must not walk around. Li Zhiguang next to me is in charge of logistics. You can follow him to arrange accommodation first."

Officer Cheng Qi led a group of people into the garrison and handed the person over to Li Zhiguang who had been waiting at the gate.

Then, those who were able to escape being sent to the frontier as exiles nodded hurriedly in response and looked at their new superior.

"Also, Zhao Yun, after you have completed your household registration matters tomorrow, wait for me at the playground. I will come to find you."

Before leaving, Officer Cheng gave Zhao Yun some special instructions.

However, this explanation did give Li Zhiguang, who wanted to take Zhao Yun and the others with him, some hints in his mind.

He already knew that Zhao Yun had a certain relationship with Cheng Xiaoqi...

And there is a connection within this guard post.

That’s easy!

It definitely needs some care.

Li Zhiguang led a group of people and walked around in the guard post.

On the way, he specifically asked Zhao Yun:
"Xiao Zhao, what is your relationship with Cheng Xiaoqi? I see you two are quite familiar with each other."

Before Zhao Yun could say anything, Zhao Liang, who like Zhao Yun was from the same family as Zhaojiazhuang, came up to him and said in a flattering tone.

"Sir Li, you don't know this. Our Zhao Yun is highly regarded by the flag officer Cheng. He said he would introduce him to the important people in the garrison. He will surely rise to prominence in the future."

Zhao Yun sighed, it was too late to stop Zhao Liang from revealing himself and praising him.

As the saying goes, good things do not go out, and bad things spread for thousands of miles.

This good thing has not been confirmed, and he has no foundation... If things are not kept secret, trouble will easily arise.

Or if someone else is also recommended, wouldn’t that mean that they would be exposed in advance and would have to start fighting with those who were competing for the spot in advance…

'Damn it.'

Zhao Yun cursed Zhao Liang inwardly.

'Introduce him to an important person?'

Li Zhiguang pondered over it secretly in his mind.

Zhao Yun was seen carrying a longbow on his back and a quiver slung behind him. Could he be an archery master recruited from the hunters in the mountains?
If this is the case, then Officer Cheng will be able to take him seriously.

Li Zhiguang brought them to a large dormitory, pointed at the remaining eight people except Zhao Yun and said:
"There are two empty houses here. The eight of you can divide them among yourselves, four people per room. Stay here first, and someone will come to call you tomorrow morning."

"Also, there is another small single room here. Let Zhao Yun stay there. Meanwhile, I will ask the people in the kitchen to bring you some dinner."

"Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and bowed in thanks.

Although the other people were treated differently, this is how the world is. There is no such thing as absolute fairness.

However, at this time, Zhao Yun was also ready to take advantage of the opportunity to take care of his fellow villagers.

If you can win over one or two people afterwards, it would be a good choice.

"Master Li, look at my fellow countrymen. They have traveled a long way to get here. Please give them some food."

"Okay, these are just small things!"

Li Zhiguang responded readily, then turned around to prepare things.

"Haha, thank you, Brother Zhao. If it weren't for you, I think we would be looked down upon by this dog official and we would have to go hungry all night."

"Everyone, be careful with your words. After you have eaten your fill, go to bed early. Tomorrow we will take a look together to see what the treatment in this garrison is like."

"Okay, okay." Then, Zhao Yun said goodbye to everyone and went into his room.

He took off the bow and arrow on his back, and then looked at his skills again: archery.

Feeling the slight headache in my head.

Feeling the sharp gaze that could see through the finest dust on the stone walls of the house.

Feeling the white, strong and healthy body.

When Zhao Yun followed the tax collection team to Niujiao Village, his legs were already weak from exhaustion.

But after his archery skills improved and transformed, he walked for another afternoon. Not only did his feet not hurt or his legs not feel weak, he could also feel that his body was continuing to strengthen.

The only drawback of this transformation process is hunger!
Uncontrollable hunger!

So much so that he finished eating the bread he brought from home, but his stomach was still empty...

In addition, when he first walked into the camp, Zhao Yun saw many people wearing colorful clothes like them, not the uniform worn by the regular soldiers of the garrison.

This shows that in recent times, there are many new recruits like them.

It is estimated that tomorrow morning, all the recently recruited people will be called up, have their household registration changed, be given clothes, and then be trained on the playground, etc...

And once there is training, there will definitely be competition.

In other words, before that training, there might have been another time when Officer Chengqi did the same thing as he had done before in front of the garrison gate, asking about skills, allocating troops, and so on.

At that time, inside the military camp, Zhao Yun was also ready to show himself.

Show off your archery skills!
You must first gain a good reputation, and then when Cheng Qiguan recommends you to the so-called big shot, you will have a better chance of staying and obtaining better resources!
Then, Zhao Yun planned to seek the powerful combat skills like that possessed by Cheng Qiguan!
Becoming stronger continuously is Zhao Yun’s constant pursuit.

And the most crucial thing is the source of skills and the increase of skills. Zhao Yun has been fiddling with it for a whole day, but he still hasn't fully understood it.

As well as the previous "archery skills", they were obtained from a ball of light condensed from the dead body of the hunter Zhang Sheng.

So if there is a ready-made technique, how can it be included in the yellow cloth of "The Way of Heaven Rewards Hard Work" and turned into a skill that continuously increases progress?
Or maybe Zhao Yun originally had a skill called "reading".

He already owns that thing!
In his previous life, he received nine years of compulsory education, as well as high school and university education, and in this life he also studied secretly for a period of time with a private school teacher.

When this "Reading" skill appeared, it was directly in the "beginner's level", which made sense...

"If every skill can be trained naturally or acquired later, that would be perfect!"

Just when Zhao Yun was full of expectations for the future, the "bang bang bang" knock on the door suddenly rang out.

Squeak~!

The old wooden door opened.

Li Zhiguang carried the lunch box and said with a smile:
"Brother Zhao, the food has been delivered to you. When you are finished, just put the bowl and chopsticks at the door. Someone will come to collect them when the sun is about to set."

"Please, Brother Li!"

Zhao Yun hurriedly thanked him.

"Haha, these are just small things. They are not a big deal if I can do them within my ability."

Li Zhiguang doesn't care about the red tape.

However, when he went to get the food just now, he asked about Cheng Xiaoqi's matter.

That Cheng Xiaoqi had forced a decent man to give money to his superiors...
