Loan Wusheng

Chapter 115 Spiritual awakening, child of destiny?

As the morning light began to appear, the sky gradually turned pale.

A ray of light shone into the Zheng Mansion in Heishan County.

Qingdai got up early, tied her hair into a ponytail, changed into a set of tight-fitting casual clothes, and came to the training ground of Zheng Mansion with a long sword in her hand, intending to practice martial arts and do pile driving and breathing exercises.

In this world of martial arts, if you learn good martial arts, it will be very convenient to do anything.

Besides, this is also the young master's teaching, how dare Qingdai disobey it?

The weather today is pretty good. It snowed last night, and the parade ground was covered with a layer of silver, which made it look particularly charming and pleasing to the eyes.

Accompanied by the snowy scene, Qingdai practiced in the snow. After a while, she was breathing out some hot white mist and sweating a little.

I don’t know how the young master is doing now, and whether everything has been done properly.

I heard that something big happened in Changyang County recently. The destination of your trip is also Changyang. I don’t know if you are implicated.

Qingdai thought worriedly in her heart, and after slightly adjusting her posture, she continued to practice martial arts.

"Whoo~"

Qing Dai panted lightly, and just as she was about to change her formation and move, she suddenly heard a voice in her ear: "The purpose of this set of standing practice is to simulate animal behavior, nourish health and refine blood. The process you are doing is to form a crane shape. If you want to 'train your body to be like a crane', you must know the habits of cranes. Strength comes from the arms..."

The voice was very familiar, it was the voice of his own young master.

After hearing the young master's voice, Qingdai was naturally delighted, but at the moment she was practicing the standing meditation and it was not convenient for her to stop, so she followed Zheng Jun's instructions and began to slowly change her posture.

About half a cup of tea later, Qingdai finally completed a set of standing meditation, relaxed her stance, and panted.

Although she was panting, she did not stop for a moment. She raised her beautiful eyes with great joy and looked in the direction of the voice. When she opened her mouth, she made a sound like an oriole: "Master, you are back!"

But as soon as he raised his eyes, Qingdai was stunned.

Because Zheng Jun was in a rather embarrassing situation at this moment.

He was dressed as a porter with a shoulder pole beside him, looking quite shabby, completely different from the young man in blue riding a horse when he set out.

After Qing Dai was stunned, she did not ask the reason and said immediately: "Sir, I will prepare a medicinal bath for you so that you can have a good rest."

"Well, that's troublesome."

Zheng Jun nodded and spoke briefly.

For the past seventeen or eighteen days, Zheng Jun has been rushing on the road, always alert to his surroundings.

Killing the Prince of Changyang and his son, and stealing the magical weapon "Fen Guilty Spear" from the Prince of Xiang's faction, this is a serious matter. Although the direction he is heading in is not under the key control of the court, Zheng Jun cannot be sure whether the other party is deliberately luring him to let his guard down.

Therefore, Zheng Jun has been traveling around Guangyi County and Kangle County these days, and even went to Qijiang County and stayed there for three days. He found an inn and stayed there motionless just to prevent being followed.

Only after he was sure that everything was correct did Zheng Jun recover his outer strength from Qijiang County, and rushed all the way back to Heishan County.

After hearing Zheng Jun's reply, Qingdai did not hesitate at all. She got up and walked away to prepare hot water for Zheng Jun to wash and rest.

Zheng Jun went back to his room and closed his eyes to rest.

At the same time, prepare what you need.

Soon, Qingdai had prepared the medicinal bath, and seeing this, Zheng Jun did not hesitate at all and went straight to take a bath, not forgetting the short time for practice.

It was not until half an hour later that Zheng Jun finished soaking and climbed out of the medicinal bath. He changed into a clean and neat black official robe and walked out of the room where the medicinal bath was.

Zheng Jun's progress in repaying the Broken Jade Skill was also further repaid, reaching the level of '1034/8000'.

"Son."

Qingdai had been waiting outside the door. When she saw Zheng Jun leave, she immediately stepped forward and reported to Zheng Jun on the silver expenditures of the past few days: "During the twenty-six days that you were away, the mansion spent a total of 4,987 taels and 9 cents of silver, mainly used to purchase the 'Earthly Evil Qi'..."

"Ah."

Zheng Jun nodded, indicating that he knew about the expenses. After Zheng Jun left, Qing Dai hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Qing Dai heard that something big happened in Changyang County. Is everything going well, young master?"

"It didn't go well. The demon carp in Changyang was taken away by someone else. After I left, I heard that King Changyang was assassinated."

Zheng Jun heard this, his expression was normal, and he said calmly: "This thief is really bold. Then I went to Yunzhou, found a dragon demon in a mountain, disguised myself as a porter, and ambushed it for seven days before I killed it."

After hearing Zheng Jun's reply, Qing Dai couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said happily, "Fortunately, the young master was not dragged into the turmoil caused by the events in Changyang County. We should celebrate!"

Zheng Jun shook his head and said, "Let's talk about the celebration later. I have to go to the county government office to talk to Brother Cai about something."

"Sir, I'll take you there!"

"No need, I'll go by myself."

"..."

After a brief conversation, Zheng Jun walked out of his own Zheng Mansion openly and walked slowly towards the county government office.

In the entire Heishan County, only a few people such as Qingdai and Cai Xun knew that he was not in the courtyard during this period. Most people still thought that he was practicing in seclusion at home. After seeing Zheng Jun appear on the street, some members of the Tongzhou Society and county soldiers also greeted Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun also smiled and nodded in response, and began to think about it in his mind.

It was naturally impossible for Zheng Jun to explain everything to Qingdai.

Jishidiang actually gave Zheng Jun a lot of support.

But Zheng Jun's trust in Jishidiang is far less than his trust in the Cai family.

Ever since Zheng Jun met the ancestor of the Cai family, his trust in the Cai family has reached a whole new level.

The Cai family gave me a magical weapon, so it must be a shared secret. What's wrong with believing it? !

Such a deep investment is certainly worth speaking openly about.

And the most important thing is.

The sword he was wearing when he killed King Changyang was the Xue Shou Sword. Others might be unfamiliar with the Xue Shou Sword, but the ancestor of the Cai family must be familiar with it. After Cai Xun inquired about his itinerary, he knew that it was he who did it, so there was no need to hide it.

If we want to cooperate, we can't hide anything.

What's more, Zheng Jun was counting on the Cai family to find someone to help him refine the magic bow.

Although the Punishment Spear is very useful when thrown, it is after all "stolen goods" and cannot be used casually.

Therefore, Zheng Jun would hide some things from Jishidiang.

Even if Qingdai's attitude is indeed good, it does not mean that Zheng Jun will have 100% trust in Jishidiang.

With this in mind, Zheng Jun quickly arrived at the county government office. When the strong clerks on guard saw Zheng Jun, they immediately became alert and quickly led Zheng Jun inside.

"General Zheng, you are out of the city!" An old clerk complimented Zheng Jun, "Are you here for that matter?"

This old clerk also worked as Zheng Jun's subordinate for a period of time at that time.

After all, Zheng Jun had been the leader of the strong squad, and it had not been long before most of the third squad clerks in the county government were old men under Zheng Jun.

After hearing what the old police officer said, Zheng Jun couldn't help but feel a little confused and asked, "Old Liu, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Zheng Jun didn't know, the old clerk immediately perked up, and said to Zheng Jun with a sad face: "Old squad leader! The court has issued an edict to urgently summon the militiamen from all the counties in Pingzhang County to transport supplies and materials to the front line of Yanting to resist the enemy army. Our squad is responsible for the militiamen! In a few days, Zhou Dianshi will lead the militiamen in our squad to transport food to the front line of Yanting County..."

Zheng Jun was also a little surprised when he heard this.

This is a bit tricky.

We can't openly defy the imperial court's orders.

"Gather all the militia first, but don't set off immediately. I will talk to the county governor, Lord Tang."

Zheng Jun took a deep breath and thought to himself: "Can we use the excuse that the Black Mountain bandits have surrendered to Zhang Bengong to suppress the civilians from the four counties and send them all to Black Mountain?"

If we go to Yanting County, we will be completely screwed.

Although the militiamen were not in any serious condition, based on what Zheng Jun saw of the refugees along the way.

There was actually no difference between the officers and soldiers of Yanting County and the bandits. They were all like crazy, killing people everywhere.

My brother-in-law Zhou Pu is now the Dianshi. He doesn't have to serve on the front line. He just transports militiamen. After he goes there, he will be able to bring his brothers back, but there are many twists and turns on the road.

It would be terrible if you happened to meet a Chen Sheng or Wu Guang-like character, who would chop your brother-in-law to death with a knife, and then do something like "the great Chu will rise, and Chen Sheng will be the king".

In this case, let’s try to find a reason to send all the militiamen to Montenegro.

As for what can be done... build a dock.

Montenegro is where our roots are the deepest, so it is normal to build a fort there.

Didn’t the county governor say that he was the captain of the Black Mountain Fortress?

Since it is a fortress, there must be a real fortress.

However, the war situation in Yanting County has become really tense.

The battle on the Bozhou mainland had actually caused a shortage of food in Yanting County... It was probably because Zhang Bengong had burned the granary, causing the Bozhou officers and soldiers defending the city to lack logistics, and they could only ask Pingzhang County and other counties that were farther away to transport food.

It seems that the officers and soldiers of Yanting County are indeed unable to stop the ferocious and wolf-like bandit army under the command of King Dayi Zhang Bengong.

Zheng Jun thought in his heart.

After hearing Zheng Jun's promise, the old clerk surnamed Liu couldn't help but be cheered up. He was very happy and a smile appeared on his face, as if the outcome had been decided.

There is no other reason.

Nothing General Zheng says is untrue!

A word of advice is as effective as a nail. General Zheng’s words in Heishan County are more effective than an imperial edict.

So, the clerk named Liu led the way for Zheng Jun in front, and they soon arrived at the lobby.

At this moment, Cai Xun was discussing government affairs with several aides. After learning of Zheng Jun's arrival, he was about to go out to greet him, but saw Zheng Jun had already come in.

Upon seeing this, Cai Xun immediately said to the several staff members in front of him in a very serious tone: "Gentlemen, please continue your calculations. I will discuss the urgent matter with General Zheng first."

"Yes, County Lord."

All the staff members immediately bowed in agreement, and Cai Xun also took Zheng Jun to the tea room in the back for a detailed discussion.

"Sanlang is finally back. I have been worried for a long time."

As soon as he entered the teahouse, Cai Xun smiled and said, "Those in front are all the retainers assigned to me by the clan. They are all scholars with achievements. Although they strengthen their bodies every day, they mostly practice health-preserving standing exercises. They haven't even entered the door and haven't even reached the blood refining stage. They can only assist me with miscellaneous tasks."

After saying this, Cai Xun seemed to be filled with emotion.

Zheng Jun heard this and nodded.

When he first traveled through time, if he hadn't had the 'Great Dao Wu Shu', he would indeed have wanted to take the path of imperial examinations and study literature.

For ordinary people, if they do not have a talent for martial arts, studying is indeed a way to change their destiny.

"All things are inferior, only reading is superior" is not a lie.

However, scholars who passed the imperial examinations found it difficult to become local chief officials because of their low martial arts skills. They were basically assistant officials: a warrior's high martial arts skills did not mean he had strong governance capabilities.

Therefore, the county magistrate was often accompanied by aides who handled government affairs on his behalf.

And the emperor is no exception.

Most of the gentlemen in the Southern Court of the imperial court are scholars of this generation. Their cultivation is only at the outer level, but they are in control of the affairs of a country.

Why is the realm of martial arts only the outer realm? It is also because relying on external objects to instill the power, at most it can only instill the outer realm, and there is no room for improvement.

Before, Cai Xun came to take office alone to serve as a county lieutenant. Now that he is a county magistrate, the Cai family will naturally allow some scholars with the titles of scholar and student to come and assist Cai Xun in handling government affairs.

Otherwise, it would be terrible if Heishan County stopped functioning.

Zheng Jun understood, and was about to say something, but heard Cai Xun take the initiative to say: "My dear brother, do you know that something big has happened in Changyang County? The Prince of Changyang County is dead, the Prince of Changyang County's son is also dead, the General of the Right Guard of the Prince of Changyang County's Palace and the Eunuch in Chief of the Prince of Changyang County's Palace are also dead! It's so fucking exciting that someone dared to break into the palace in broad daylight and skin the Prince of Changyang in front of everyone!"

"Fortunately you left quickly. The thief seemed to have used a knife and a magical weapon. Yang Li from Changyang County is very angry now. He ran into a group of escapees from Yunzhou in Wuguang County and directly wiped out all of them! If Yang Li had run into you, you wouldn't be able to explain yourself even if you had a mouth."

"I don't know where this villain came from, but he is so bold! But it's good, kill Yang Li's arrogance! Yang Li is just a bit smart, relying on the reputation of the Yang family in Kyoto, he doesn't take my Cai family seriously, and even insulted my father in Bozhou City, saying that 'the old men in Bozhou are treacherous and short-sighted'! This time, the Prince of Changyang died in the palace, and I'm afraid that he, the county governor, will also have to suffer the consequences!"

Speaking of this, Cai Xun looked extremely relieved and gloating.

Seeing Cai Xun so relieved, Zheng Jun was silent for a moment, then said, "Brother, I was the one who killed Prince Changyang."

Cai Xun:?
Cai Xun was unhappy when he heard Zheng Jun's words.

"You killed him?" Cai Xun was extremely surprised. "Why did you... kill the Prince of Changyang?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun was immediately filled with righteous indignation and said, "Of course I heard that Yang Li insulted my future old Taishan, so I was filled with righteous indignation, so I killed him and put the blame on Yang Li!"

Cai Xun: ...

Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?

"In fact, when I killed the 'Lujiang Dragon King' and extracted the dragon's tendons to get the inner elixir, I met the Prince of Changyang and a secret guard and chief eunuch of the Pacification Division. The prince wanted me to be his dog, but I didn't want to be his dog. Then the prince said some very irritating words, so I killed him."

Zheng Jun's previous words were just to liven up the atmosphere and make Cai Xun less nervous. He then continued, "Before the prince died, he said that his father would not let me go. I rushed into the palace in advance and killed his father as well, and put an end to it all."

After that, Zheng Jun added: "It was indeed a bit impulsive, but the soldiers of Changyang County did not suspect me, so it should be nothing serious."

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Cai Xun also fell silent.

Is it just for this reason?

The Prince of Changyang is really a bummer.

Cai Xun didn't know what to say for a moment. He was a little shocked after listening to Zheng Jun's words. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth to confirm: "Brother, you did break through to the outer realm a month ago, right?"

Zheng Jun nodded.

Seeing this, Cai Xun couldn't help but cry silently in his heart.

They are all outer Gang, why is there such a big difference?
Although I didn't get this external energy through a legitimate channel, it doesn't mean that Brother Zheng is that strong? !

They rushed into the palace, where thousands of palace guards, several outer guards, and a Tongqiao warrior a hundred miles away were watching them covetously!
With this configuration, could Brother Zheng skin the Prince of Changyang in public?!
Is it true that the imperial court is just sitting around doing nothing? They can't even catch the murderer when a prince dies. Does our family really have a chance to compete for power?
Cai Xun thought in his heart.

"Brother, I will report this matter as soon as possible... No, I will go to Bozhou in person and inform my father and grandfather."

Cai Xun took a deep breath and said, "I'll leave tonight!"

"There's no rush for this, brother." Zheng Jun said, taking out the dragon tendon and two demon pills, "I want to ask our family to help me make a bow, I have prepared all the materials... I don't ask for a magical weapon, just a durable one."

After that, Zheng Jun thought of something else and added, "I still have the 'Spirit-Slaying Spear' from the Prince of Changyang's Mansion. By the way, please help me ask if there is any way to change the appearance of this 'Spirit-Slaying Spear'?"

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Cai Xun felt dizzy for a moment and couldn't recover for a long time.

There is too much information.

He needs to take it slow.

Brother Zheng really gave me a big surprise as soon as he came back!

"Brother Xian, please go back and take a rest first. I will take some time to calm down. Once you have recovered, I will set out to help you find out what happened."

Cai Xun's face turned pale. After taking a deep breath, he continued, "Leave the dragon tendons, demon pills, and other things in your hands. Give them to me. I'm afraid that someone will kill me on the way... Then I will personally invite the weapon refining master to Black Mountain."

Killing or something like that is just an excuse.

Cai Xun was worried that someone would find out the dragon tendons, the demon pill and the punishment spear along the way, and then he would have to assassinate the prince himself.

This is truly indefensible.

For your own safety, it is better to leave these things in Zheng Jun's hands.

Although Zheng Jun was discovered, the Cai family was also to blame.

But Zheng Jun's strength is much stronger than his own after all. Staying in Zheng Jun's hands is definitely safer than staying in his hands.

"In that case, thank you for your help, brother."

Zheng Jun cupped his hands, but when he heard that the other party wanted to invite a master weapon refiner over, he immediately felt embarrassed.

what is this?
A fly falls under the toad's mouth, it's like giving away a piece of meat for free!
The weapon refining master has come to Montenegro. If I can't keep him here, wouldn't his trip be in vain?
Thinking of this, Zheng Jun's eyes couldn't help but become hot, and he looked at Cai Xun as if he was his 'brother-in-law'.

Don’t mention that Cai Anyun is good-looking.

Even if he is fat and strong.

Zheng Jun can marry her if he grits his teeth.

In order to achieve great things, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life!
Thinking of this, Zheng Jun immediately expressed his opinion: "Brother, I wonder if An Jun has come to Heishan? I can't wait to meet Miss Cai."

Let's finish it as soon as possible.

In the past, Zheng Jun wanted to keep his distance from the Cai family, who had great ambitions.

Now Zheng Jun found that the trouble he had caused seemed to be bigger than that caused by the Cai family, so he was eager to get involved with the Cai family as soon as possible.

"We have already reached several nearby counties, but for some reason, Ninth Sister has been hesitant to move forward."

After hearing Zheng Jun's question, Cai Xun gritted his teeth and said, "I will urge my father when I go back this time. If it really doesn't work, I still have three unmarried sisters in my family. They are all good-looking, beautiful, intelligent, and well-read! If Brother Zheng doesn't mind, it's fine to marry them all!"

These three are naturally the side branches of the Cai family.

However, since they are within the fifth degree of mourning, they are naturally Cai Xun's cousins.

If An Jun continues to act like this, even after marriage, there will inevitably be a rift between her and Brother Zheng.

In that case, why not send all the unmarried sisters in the clan to Brother Zheng’s house and marry whichever one he likes!
The Yang family was able to send concubines three times, so why can't my Cai family do the same? !
As for the saying "a pair for a lifetime"... No, buddy, you've listened to too many storytellings, right?
Since ancient times, emperors have had three thousand beauties in their harems. Their Cai family invested so early. If they succeed, it would not be too much to ask for the position of empress and become the first foreign relative, right?

What about concubine's daughters and legitimate daughters? All four can go together. As long as one of them becomes the queen, they will be good children of the Cai family! Cai Xun thought to himself.

When Zheng Jun heard Cai Xun's words, he was stunned and his face became strange.

He could see Cai Xun's determination.

He didn't want to leave any way out for the Cai family and put all the pressure on himself.

However, if the Cai family really placed all their hopes on me, then if I succeed in the future, the status of the Cai family would be unshakable unless they committed a heinous crime that would put me to death.

The friendship of helping someone in times of need is naturally much better than adding icing on the cake.

"That's not necessary. Brother is thoughtful."

"..."

Zheng Jun was humble and said goodbye to Cai Xun, then walked towards the Bingmasi.

I have been away for more than 20 days, and I want to see how the soldiers under my command are doing these days.

When Zheng Jun entered the Bingmasi, the officers of the Bingmasi had already known about Zheng Jun's 'exit' and were waiting there. When they saw Zheng Jun coming, they shouted in unison: "Greetings, General!"

"No gift."

Zheng Jun nodded slightly, walked forward with a tiger's gait, and after entering the big tent, he sat on the commander's seat in the main tent, looked at the generals below the stage, and immediately asked: "How is the recruitment of soldiers in the two capitals going?"

"General."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun, the captain of the Black Mountain Guard, stepped forward and bowed to Zheng Jun, saying, "The recruitment of soldiers is almost complete. The two cities have 600 soldiers, all of whom are complete. Most of the soldiers are brave and strong people from the four counties. Among them, 170 are from Tongzhou Association and are the reserve members of Tongzhou Association."

"There are more than 40 people, who are refugees from the war. They joined the army to serve the general for a bite of food. Among them are eight blood-refining warriors, and the remaining thirty or so are all young and strong."

Yang Jun once faced Zheng Jun and also responded by playing badly.

Now that he had been promoted by Zheng Jun to be the captain, and seeing that Zheng Jun indeed had the potential to be a great general, he naturally began to work seriously.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun nodded and looked at the deputy captain Xu Zhilei. Seeing this, Xu Zhilei said, "General, in the two newly established cities, the guardian Yuan Yaoyang in the association volunteered to join the army and wants to serve as the captain of the first city. Please approve it. As for the second city, the court recently sent a military order saying that a captain will be assigned to you. In addition, a deputy general from the outer Gang realm and a military officer will also be assigned."

"Assign me a deputy general, a captain, and a military officer?"

Seeing this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but sneer: "Assign it if you want."

Because there were no external martial artists before, I was asked to come here to guard.

Now that I have become an outer Gang, how come there are suddenly outer Gang warriors?
I'm afraid he was transferred from another county.

Is it to guard against the Black Mountain bandits? Zheng Jun felt otherwise. The new deputy general, the military officer, and the captain were probably here to guard against his own dominance.

Zheng Jun actually disagrees with this.

Your own army belongs to you.

Not to mention one deputy general, even if ten came it would be useless.

How could an ordinary outer force possibly be able to check and balance itself? It was just like throwing a meat bun at a dog, with nothing to gain... cough cough, it was just stealing a chicken but losing the rice.

Du Ding, who was standing by, waited for a long time and finally got his turn to speak. He immediately presented a list and said to Zheng Jun respectfully, "General, this is the list of additional personnel for each unit."

After saying that, he handed over a list.

It records the news of new recruits.

The purpose of this addition is mainly to fill the gap in the salaries of the Heishan Guard, Zhiyuan Guard, Rongyuan Guard and Pingyun Guard.

After all, Zheng Jun has arrived, and the county soldiers no longer have to continue drawing empty salaries.

Zheng Jun nodded and asked casually, "Are there any talents worth cultivating among them?"

Just asking casually, trying my luck.

What if there is some good talent worth mentioning?
Talent is what matters.

If I really start a rebellion in the future, I am afraid that no one present will be able to follow Zheng Jun to the end.

Only when you reach the outer Gang can you be considered to have touched this threshold and be qualified to be a pioneer.

Therefore, I urgently need to cultivate my own confidants and possess talents.

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, several people were startled. After thinking for a while, Du Ding said, "In the newly established First Capital, there is a refugee who escaped from Yanting County. He has good talent. He previously learned an unknown mental method, which was a mess. After he switched to practicing Eagle Falcon Power, his progress was rapid. In addition, he also made rapid progress after being exposed to several military martial arts. In just over ten days, he completed his first blood refining."

After saying that, Du Ding scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I once sparred with him, but I didn't expect that we were evenly matched..."

After hearing Du Ding's words, Zheng Jun became more energetic.

Du Ding is a warrior who has refined his blood seven times.

He was already strong, and after joining the army, with the supply of Zheng Jun's elixirs, his energy and blood became even stronger.

In this way, he was actually on par with a kid who had just refined his blood?
It's interesting.

Moreover, he completed his first blood refining in just over ten days, which is indeed a gifted talent.

Compared to myself, I am not giving in.

But it’s not quite the same as me.

I have a cheat.

"What's his name?"

Zheng Jun asked.

"The refugee's name is Wei Quan, he is fifteen years old, from Weijia Village in Yanting County, and he is currently the head of the third division of the second group in the first city."

Du Ding immediately stepped forward and said, "He came with several fellow villagers. They said they were on the road to escape famine and were guided by an expert to come to Heishan County. They heard that if they joined the army, they would be able to get a house, so several of their fellow villagers from Weijia Village also joined the army together."

"Captain Yang was worried that they might be colluding with their fellow villagers and become spies for Zhang's gang, so he separated them and assigned them to the Black Mountain Guard, the First Capital, the Pingyun Guard, and the Rongyuan Guard, and prevented them from having any private contact."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun nodded, indicating that he had done a good job.

Then, Zheng Jun stood up and said, "I understand. Let's adjourn the meeting."

Upon hearing this, the generals stood up and were about to leave. Zheng Jun suddenly thought of something and stopped Xu Zhilei. He said to him, "Captain Xu, when you go back, tell Protector Xu to come to the Zheng Mansion to get three portions of Ning Gang Powder to help break through the outer Gang as soon as possible and become my arm."

"Yes!"

Xu Zhilei was cheered up and accepted the order immediately.

After everyone had left, Zheng Jun stood up and prepared to go to the First Capital himself to see the refugee named Wei Quan.

Listening to Du Ding's description, Zheng Jun vaguely thought of something.

Perhaps, these were the group of people from Weijiazhuang that he met on the refugee road.

This Wei Quan, I’m afraid he is the young man lying on the wooden door. If I hadn’t helped him, he would have died in the wilderness now.

I didn't expect that he was a martial arts genius. It was really unexpected.

Of course, Zheng Jun went to the first capital not just for "Wei Quan".

Another reason is to take a tour.

To avoid the situation where "the soldiers do not know their generals, and the generals do not know their soldiers".

After all, after he killed the Prince of Changyang, he did have a sense of crisis. If the Tongqiao warrior named Yang Li came to his house, if he wanted to fight him, he would have to rely on his troops to form a battle formation.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun immediately left the city and went to the military camp outside the city.

As soon as I arrived at the military camp, I saw a bustling scene in the army.

The two newly established cities, plus some soldiers from the original Black Mountain Guards, totaled eight hundred people stationed here. There was indeed a vibrant atmosphere, but with all eight hundred people gathered here, this small military camp seemed a little small.

The construction of the dock needs to be accelerated.

With this thought in mind, Zheng Jun stepped into the military camp.

"General!"

"General!"

"..."

Seeing Zheng Jun arrive, the county soldiers from Heishanwei were all in high spirits and stepped forward to salute.

After hearing the words of the veterans, many new recruits were particularly excited. They immediately stepped forward and shouted "Greetings, General" in unison.

Most of the recruits came to join the army after hearing about Zheng Jun's legend, especially the more than 170 alternate members of the Tongzhou Club, who were the beneficiaries of Zheng Jun's "equal land" and were naturally extremely fanatical about Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun's worry about the situation where 'the soldiers don't know their generals, and the generals don't know their soldiers' is indeed a bit unnecessary.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun felt relieved and even made some jokes with the soldiers, making them laugh.

"Tonight's drinking will be all on my head."

After instructing the quartermaster in the barracks, Zheng Jun asked again, "Where is Wei Quan? Why doesn't he come out to see me?"

Just after Zheng Jun called out, a young man wearing leather armor and holding a spear in the military camp, who looked a little immature but had a resolute look in his eyes and exuded a unique aura, suddenly stepped out and said to Zheng Jun in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Your Majesty, Wei Quan, greets the general!"

After that, the young man's eyes flickered, and he seemed a little excited, and he said: "To repay the general's kindness, I came to Heishan to join the army. To repay the general's kindness, I am willing to follow the general until death!"

"good."

Zheng Jun nodded. Seeing the young man's blood surging and his arms strong and powerful, it was clearly just one time of blood refining, but his foundation was no less than that of an ordinary person who had refined blood three or four times. It seemed that he was also an expert who could accumulate energy after refining blood five or six times.

It is indeed a gifted talent.

There are so many talented people in the world, and today I happened to meet one of them.

Zheng Jun opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly he saw a flash of light in front of him, and a long string of small gold-plated characters appeared in front of him.

[If you find someone whose spirituality has been awakened, and the other person is not hostile, watch their spiritual magical power performance for 30 days, and you can copy their magical power. ]

[Spiritual awakening: The ancient Dharma image, after death, the obsession does not disappear, and it can turn into a spirit after a thousand years. After another five hundred years, you can find a predestined person to awaken the spirit, so that the predestined person can inherit the magical power of the Dharma image, and the speed of practice and understanding will be further enhanced, until the spirit disappears, and then return to normal. As the saying goes, "When the time comes, the heaven and the earth will work together, and when the luck is gone, the hero cannot be free." 】

[Current spiritual awakening: Flowing Shadow Floating Life Fist Method to Suppress Mountains and Rivers. ]

Seeing the small gold-plated characters in front of him, Zheng Jun was stunned.

'Spiritual awakening, what is this? ! '

Zheng Jun was horrified in his heart, thinking a lot: "He got the obsession inheritance of the ancient Dharmadhatu who had been dead for at least 1,500 years, so he jumped a thousand miles directly. Not only did he get supernatural powers, but he also increased his cultivation speed?"

The above content is not difficult to understand, in simple terms.

It means you have met your destined child.

This child of destiny is given a free experience doubling card and magical martial arts.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to calm his heaving chest as much as possible.

This is too much.

I spent a lot of effort to obtain the Yi Ri Liu Guang and Lu Shui Zhan Jiao.

How come there's a thing called 'Spiritual Awakening' that can speed up other people's cultivation and gain magical martial arts?

Why don't I have it?!
The obsession with Dharmadhatu is too blind. Just come find me if you have an obsession with Dharmadhatu!
A trace of resentment rose in Zheng Jun's heart.

There is nothing we can do about it. The spirit doesn’t come to find us. It’s just luck. There’s nothing much we can say.

The number of Dharma images in ancient times is constant.

Every time a new successor is passed on, there is one less. If you want a new one to be born, you can only wait until the new Dharma image dies for fifteen hundred years.

It is indeed difficult to obtain, even more difficult than winning the lottery.

However, Zheng Jun only had a trace of resentment, which soon disappeared completely.

the reason is simple.

I have something even more perverted than 'spiritual awakening'.

The great martial arts book!

So what if it’s spiritual awakening?

In just thirty days, you can make a copy of it yourself!
Such abnormal abilities are beyond the reach of spiritual enlightenment!
Moreover, Zheng Jun also felt that after possessing the 'Great Dao Martial Book', his own cultivation speed was also accelerated.

It seems……

This 'Great Dao Martial Book' seems to be somewhat similar to the essence of spiritual awakening?

For a moment, Zheng Jun was stunned.

A thought came to my mind.

Could it be that his 'Dao Wushu' is the same as this 'Spiritual Awakening', which is the result of the posthumous obsession of some powerful being?

Or, is it something else?
If it is a powerful being transformed by obsession after death.

So it is known that the Great Dao Martial Book is definitely one level higher than spiritual awakening.

Spiritual awakening is the result of the strongest obsession after death in the Dharma Realm.

Then,

Isn't the Dao Wu Shu supposed to be the obsession after death of a powerful being who is above the Dharma and possesses the status of a True Lord?
However, this cannot be confirmed. After all, the functionality and initiative of the Dao Martial Arts Book are stronger. If it is really the obsession after death, there should be no need to collect it by oneself. There will naturally be some martial arts skills in the book.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun just felt a little annoyed, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Looking at the somewhat excited and nervous Wei Quan in front of him, he smiled and said, "Not bad, he knows how to repay kindness, and he is a good seedling!"

"Would you like to join my personal army and serve as my personal attendant?"

Zheng Jun smiled and said, "Good talents are hard to find. If you come to my camp, I will personally teach you how to practice!"

Watch the thirty-day martial arts performance.

no problem.

In that case, just move this kid to your side so that you can watch!
perfect.

Zheng Jun was extremely satisfied, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Wei Quan.

For Zheng Jun, Wei Quan was more than just a promising talent.

It is also the first walking skill book, a skill book that possesses the magical martial arts 'Flowing Shadow Floating Life Fist to Suppress Mountains and Rivers'!

Boxing skills are exactly what Zheng Jun lacks.

If it’s a close combat, the weapon will be lost.

Zheng Jun's abilities were reduced to 60%. After learning the 'Flowing Shadow Floating Life Fist to Suppress Mountains and Rivers', he was able to turn his weaknesses into strengths, allowing Zheng Jun to take a step further on the road to becoming a hexagonal warrior.

After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Wei Quan was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am willing to go and meet Master Zheng!"

Although Wei Quan arrived relatively late, he also knew that General Zheng's personal soldiers could be taught martial arts by General Zheng.

Therefore, all the soldiers called General Zheng "Master Zheng"!

Now that I have joined the royal guard, I naturally have to call General Zheng "Master Zheng"!

When the soldiers around saw this, they couldn't help but exclaimed in envy.

"Get up quickly."

Zheng Jun had a kind face and helped Wei Quan up. When he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves outside the camp. Zheng Jun frowned and looked outside the camp.

As Zheng Jun looked up, Wei Quan and the other soldiers around him also looked in the direction Zheng Jun was looking, but they didn't see anything for a long time.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little puzzled about this.

But just as they were wondering, they suddenly heard the sound of dust and smoke from horse hooves, and a majestic cavalryman wearing a helmet and armor on his chest came rushing over with an urgent flag!
He saw Zheng Jun from a distance and was immediately overjoyed. He hurriedly rode his horse to the front of the camp, then quickly walked into the camp, bowed to Zheng Jun and said, "General Zheng, I am Xue Neng, the leader of the cavalry team under the Pingzhang Camp, and I have come to convey the imperial edict of the county governor, Lord Tang!"

"General Zheng, please rush to the county city and participate in the emergency military report!"

After saying this, the Qi-accumulating cavalryman stepped forward and handed over an envelope.

Zheng Jun couldn't help but frown when he saw this.

It was such a coincidence that he was called away just after I got back.

However, Zheng Jun did not show anything on the surface. Instead, he reached out, opened the envelope and took a look.

This sight surprised Zheng Jun.

The above is written by the county magistrate Tang Yu himself.

The content is very simple.

It is the military report of Yanting County.

The officials and soldiers of the imperial court fought a fierce battle in Yanting County with the Righteous King Zhang Bengong in Donghe County. After three days of bloody fighting, they were defeated. Yan Wei, the prefect of Yanting County who was at the Tongqiao realm, was injured by the Righteous King Zhang Bengong and fled away with serious injuries!

Among the generals of the Outer Gang Realm, eight were killed in the battle, two were captured, and one surrendered to the enemy on the battlefield.

None were spared.

The number of soldiers killed, wounded or captured was no less than 20,000!
The city of Yanting County is in danger, and soldiers from all counties are urgently summoned to provide assistance!

Pingzhang County is ranked second after Yanting County, second only to Kangle County, so it is naturally the first to bear the brunt!
