"Don't be too happy!"

Xu Chen interrupted Lu Zhi's reverie for the future, and said solemnly: "You have also seen it with your own eyes, these cultivators cannot survive in the outside world, if you really become a cultivator, then the outside environment will be a disaster for you!"

Lu Zhi was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Then I can't accompany my son in the future?"

Xu Chen smiled with relief and said, "I'm glad you asked this question!"

Lu Zhi smiled and replied respectfully: "The old slave is not stupid! what the son can give to the old slave, the old slave can't get it in his execution plan!"

Xu Chen smiled: "It's good that you can understand!"

"There are quite a lot of restrictions on the path of cultivation, especially the cultivation qualifications, if you don't have them, you won't be able to take the path of cultivating the truth, but since you can break through to the Grandmaster realm, you must be not bad in terms of qualifications!"

"There's just one thing I have to make clear to you in advance!"

Lu Zhi saw Xu Chen's solemn expression, so he said respectfully: "Son, please speak!"

Xu Chen then said: "The abbot in the Imperial City Temple of Yuzhang City, a monk named Huineng, Chai Lao should have seen it!"

Standing on the other side, Chai Lao, who had been looking at this place with fiery eyes, nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes! That old monk is very unusual!"

At the beginning, Chai Lao thought that Hui Neng was just an ordinary monk who didn't even have kung fu, but after advancing to the grandmaster, he looked back and found that Hui Neng was more and more unusual.

Xu Chen nodded and said, "That old monk is the highest cultivator of all the new generation cultivators! Although he is injured now, he has the knowledge that few people can match, and he once said that the path of cultivation is now broken! If you embark on this path, what kind of future will there be, I can't predict it!"

When Lu Zhi heard this, he said with a smile: "Childe is too worried! If there is no opportunity given by Childe, then the old slave will only have a lifespan of more than thirty years at most, but if he becomes a cultivator, he can live for nearly a hundred more years, and he will have earned it a long time ago!"

Xu Chen listened, nodded and smiled: "It's good that you can think so!"

"Okay, take this jade pendant and read the book!

"Yes!" Lu Zhi took the thing and turned to retreat.

Xu Chen then turned his head to look at Chai Lao, who was already anxious waiting on the other side, and said with a smile: "Don't worry!

Chai Lao smiled embarrassedly and said, "The old slave is not in a hurry!"

Xu Chen immediately took out a jade bottle, handed it to Chai Lao, and said, "You have just entered the Grandmaster Realm, and you can't think of Lu Zhi in terms of strength, so take some pills to increase your strength first, and then go to build the foundation when the time comes!"

"The old slave thanked the son!" After Chai Lao took the jade bottle, he also retreated happily.

After the two left, Lu Hao, who had been watching silently beside him, hurriedly asked, "Big brother, have you really gone to the cultivator's territory these days?"

Xu Chen nodded and replied, "Yes!"

When Lu Hao heard this, he immediately asked with a full of expectations: "Then big brother, you have also become an immortal?"

As soon as they heard this, the young men in the handsome tent immediately looked over with starry eyes.

Xu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't become an immortal!"

"Huh?" said this, and the faces of the teenagers were full of disappointment.

"But I've killed a lot of immortals!" Xu Chen said with a grin.

"Is it relying on these treasures?" Shi Lei was shocked and hurriedly asked.

Xu Chen nodded and said, "It won't be long before you all have the power to kill gods!"

Hearing this, the teenagers' eyes that had just been disappointed were shining again.

It's just that Lu Hao was still a little worried, and asked, "These treasures of the eldest brother are all foreign objects, right?"

Xu Chen nodded.

Lu Hao then said: "But in this way, I'm afraid that Chai Lao and them will ......."

Lu Hao's words were still unfinished, but Xu Chen naturally knew it, but he just smiled and said, "Don't worry! I will pay attention to maintaining absolute suppressive power!"

"However, after all, it's just a foreign thing! If they really become cultivators and rely on their long lifespan, let's ......" After so many days, Lu Hao also knew a lot about the things of cultivators, so he became more and more worried: "Alas...... If only we could cultivate the truth! Our own brothers must be more credible than them!"

Xu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "I'm definitely not able to cultivate the truth, it's just that you ...... I'll go back and find a way to test it! It's just that the road to cultivation doesn't work!"

"That's better than not having the power to counteract at hand, let's talk about the future later!"

"It's good!"

For the civilization of 10,000 years ago, Xu Chen only has a slight outline now, judging from the remaining classics, the gorgeous and colorful civilization of the year has many achievements, and the Xiuzhen civilization may be just one of them.

In the dark, Xu Chen always had a feeling that in this world that he came to by chance, there was always something inexplicable calling him.

The future, the road ahead, is uncertain!

Letting go of the thoughts in his heart, Zhang Tianyi walked in with the curtain.

Xu Chen then asked, "I heard, you want to leave?"

Facing Xu Chen's gaze, Zhang Tianyi smiled and replied, "I don't want to leave now!"

"Oh!" Xu Chen smiled too, looked at Zhang Tianyi and asked, "Why?"

Zhang Tianyi said calmly: "I saw Lu Zhi and them just now, and the benefits that can make the grandmaster unable to suppress the joy in his heart, I think it is definitely worth my stay!"

Xu Chen smiled: "You are very pragmatic!"

Zhang Tianyi smiled and replied: "After all, I don't know you too well!"

Xu Chen then smiled playfully: "Then why do you think I will keep you?"

Zhang Tianyi said as a matter of course: "Because you are very short of people now!"

Xu Chen nodded and replied, "Okay!"

Zhang Tianyi's role was replaced quickly, and then he reported very dutifully: "The one surnamed Zhou seems to have discovered the secret of the equipment!"

Xu Chen's eyes sank slightly, revealing a faint cold light.

Zhang Tian agreed, and immediately said: "Do you want me to ......?"

Looking at Zhang Tianyi's gesture of wiping his throat, Xu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "No need to be so troublesome!"

At the same time, Zhou Xiyu, who was patrolling the camp just now, couldn't calm down anymore after grabbing a few weapons and armor that the soldiers had thrown on the ground......

One or two things may only be said to be accidents, but when Zhou Xiyu checked several tents, the expression on his face became more and more strange.

At first, he was shocked, and when the number piled up for a certain distance, it became shocked, and then when he looked at the weapons and armor like a hill in front of him, the joy in his heart could no longer be suppressed!

"Haha...... Ha ha...... Hahahaha!"

The guards around him could not understand the general's joy, and only watched in confusion.

After Zhou Xiyu passed the initial joy, a trace of doubt rose in his heart.

"How could they be so well equipped? no! How dare they have so many treasures!"

That's right, Treasure! Indisputable Treasure!

Although Mingzhu is covered with dust, such a clumsy cover-up technique can't even hide it from him, a person who is not knowledgeable!

"Could it be that Xu Xiang sent it?" Zhou Xiyu was guessing, but then shook his head and said, "Impossible! Even Xu Xiang can't make up this amount!"

"It's not something money can buy at all...... It takes a lot of money!"

The more Zhou Xiyu thought about it, the more frightened he became, trotted in front of Ming Xuan in three or two steps, pulled over Ming Xuan, who was still watching the handsome tent, walked to the hill-like weapons and armor, pointed at them and asked Ming Xuan: "Are these things all allocated by Xu Xiang's order?"

Ming Xuan, who was still thinking about Xu Chen's motives, casually glanced at the pile of black armaments on the ground, and said irritably: "It stands to reason that the armaments for local regimental training are prepared by each locality, but Xiangye was afraid that Shengzhou would be too guarded to shirk, so he sent a private letter, presumably these things are supplied by Shengzhou!"

Xu Chen was originally recruited in Shengzhou, and he also used the name of Shengzhou Zhichong Mansion, but then he was transferred to his command by Wang Zhongsi with the military order of the marching camp.

However, the soldiers and horses of the marching battalion have their own belongings, and if they are finished in battle, they must return to their original station, but the military reform of the imperial court is underway, and the management of recruitment is relatively chaotic.

Generally speaking, because the commanders of the various battalions generally recognized the combat power of recruitment, and did not want to be constrained by the local generals of each military town, they often used a large number of recruited troops in warfare, and after they were used up, they were either assigned to military towns on the spot or transferred to other places, so that the mobility of recruiting troops was very strong.

Each recruiter may have fought in many places during his service years, and has followed many generals.

The reason for this unstable flow of soldiers is really the result of open and secret battles between military towns and imperial courts in various places.

The government military system, which was originally based on the Juntian system, existed in name only after the destruction of the Juntian system with the annexation of land, and the weakness of foreign wars in the late Wu and Zhou dynasties was the consequence of the decline of the government military system.

So it was only after Xuanzong ascended the throne and rectified the dynasty that the military reform that lasted for many years began.

It's just that in this long process, the fate of the recruits is the most tragic.

When he was in the front of the battle, he rushed to the front, but the reward he got passed through the hands of many people, and it was not like the soldiers of the armies and towns on the other sides who could settle the fields on the spot. Because the barren land of the border pass could not accommodate the formation of recruited troops to be stationed, let alone compete with the original border army......

As for the inland state capitals...... If there is enough land to cultivate, who will trade their lives for a bite to eat?

Drifting like duckweed, they can only exchange their blood and lives for a small amount of silver.

This resentment is accumulating deeper and deeper, the generals know it, and the court knows it!

However, there was no effective solution to this contradiction caused by population and land, and the imperial court could only use military exploits and silver bounties to drive them to war.

This contradiction directly induced the great turmoil that changed the Tang Dynasty and the Chinese nation not long after.

When Youyan's elite soldiers and horses broke through Chang'an, when the eight years of war consumed countless people and left countless pieces of land idle, the boiling oil became calm again because of the removal of a few firewood under the pot, but it was waiting for the time of the next outbreak.

Repeatedly, divided and combined......

In this counterinsurgency in the south, although the imperial court dispatched soldiers and horses from several military towns in Hebei, Hexi, and Guanzhong, it also issued a military order to the whole country to gather existing recruits as usual.

Recruited troops from all over the country gathered under Wang Zhonghe's tent and became the main force in his counterinsurgency.

However, the armament of the conscription simply cannot be described as armament!

Xu Fan, who knew these routines well, privately went to Xinshengzhou Taishou when Xu Chen was recruiting, hoping that he could take care of Xu Chen in terms of food and armament.

Ming Xuan also knew about this, and now when he heard Zhou Xiyu ask, he replied casually.

However, what Ming Xuan didn't expect, and couldn't imagine at all, was that these inconspicuous things in front of him were very terrifying!

Zhou Xiyu looked at the careless Ming Xuan, thinking that he was already Xu Fan's person, he still pointed to the equipment on the ground and asked, "Do you know how much these things are worth?"

Ming Xuan glanced at him, and replied impatiently: "The equipment of a regiment training soldiers and horses is worth ......."

Before he finished his words, Zhou Xiyu stepped forward, grabbed a long lance and signaled: "This lance is made by hand by a famous craftsman! Without ten years of hard work, it is impossible to make it!"

As he spoke, he grabbed another piece of armor, and then said: "This armor, the best Mingguang armor! Wang Zhongsi estimates that there will be a set!"

"And this knife, the authentic Damascus knife! Put it in Chang'an City, there are thousands of times, don't even think about touching it!"

Looking at Zhou Xiyu's appearance of jumping left and right, Ming Xuan only felt a little funny, but the deep solemnity on the other party's face made him unable to laugh.

"You...... Are you serious?"

Zhou Xiyu sighed lightly, turned to the side of a personal soldier, took off the saber on the other party's waist, and said to Ming Xuan: "Look at it!"

"Bang!", Zhou Xiyu slashed at the black armor, but only a few sparks were splashed.

Handing the armor to Ming Xuan, Zhou Xiyu pointed to the faded black paint on the armor and said, "See, I used seventy percent of my strength just now!"

Zhou Xiyu's skills, Ming Xuan naturally knows.

Looking down at the armor that had restored its original color, the faint scratch finally woke up Ming Xuan!

"This ...... Are these all these?"

Zhou Xiyu nodded heavily: "Not only these are in front of you, but the soldiers of the Wuwei Army are estimated to have a set!"

"No! No way! Where did he get such a thing? And there are so many of them! Even the generals of the military department can't have so much inventory! It's impossible to have inventory for decades!" Ming Xuan, who was too shocked, instinctively shook his head and retorted.

Zhou Xiyu sneered and said: "It is natural that the imperial court does not have that!

"I don't know how many qualified armaments have been eliminated by them!"

"What's more, it's not only the craftsmen who will be the prisoners in this world who can have these skills!"

"Those family valves, especially the master craftsmen of the Jiangmen family, are far more skilled than those who will be the prisoners! I don't know how much inventory there are in these families that last several times longer than the imperial court!"

"Yes...... But they shouldn't ...... Don't dare to ......" Ming Xuan's words were intermittent, but in the end, there was no sound.

Because, Ming Xuan knows, they dare!

"Is there anything in this world that they dare not do? To put it irreverently, if the saint is gone, they can do anything!"

After Zhou Xiyu lowered his voice and said this disrespectful sentence, he was still angry with these big families: "Some people sell rice, some people sell cloth, and naturally there are people who sell swords and swords, the forest is big, what birds don't have?"

"It's said that these treasures are worth a lot of money, but if you really want to take a city out and try it, don't say it's an exchange for these things, if you're not careful, they will dare to rob these things!"

"They don't value money, but they value a lot of money!"

Zhou Xiyu's guess is roughly correct, most of Xu Chen's sources of these armaments are transferred to him by the black market in major cities, and with the Grandmaster Realm coming forward, as long as there is a large amount of cash, he really can't worry about not being able to buy what he wants.

What's more, although the practicality of these things is not low, most people are used for watching and playing, and no one has ever thought of using them to equip the army on a large scale, because if someone really has that kind of idea, they will not know how many thousands of soldiers and horses can be equipped for so much money!

In addition, there are only a few or a dozen sets that can be collected in each city, and the most that people with a quick mind think that someone is hoarding in large quantities in order to raise the price and resell it for profit, and it is really impossible to think about equipping the army!

"Yes...... But how can they have so much money, these hairy boys?" Ming Xuan admitted the reality with difficulty, but he was still troubled by this question.

"How do I know this?" Zhou Xiyu shook his head, and said again: "It seems that these disciples of Xiangye are really unusual, you have to report this matter to Xiangye as soon as possible!"

"Oh......" Ming Xuan nodded absentmindedly, but after a moment of silence, he suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! I finally know why he agreed so happily!"

Zhou Xiyu's eyes froze, and he blurted out, "You mean he is secretly gathering people?"

Ming Xuan nodded and said, "That's right! Gather all the soldiers and horses first, otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to leave this big camp!"

"Gather now, they may not listen to me!" Zhou Xiyu said busily.

Ming Xuan's eyes rolled, he thought about it, and blurted out: "Drumming! Let's just say that the rebels attack the camp and gather the soldiers and horses, you will take them to attack the city immediately, as long as they are on the battlefield, they will be helpless against us!"

Zhou Xiyu's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Okay!"

After that, Zhou Xiyu immediately dispatched more than a dozen personal guards beside him.

A moment later, the people in the camp turned on their backs, and the soldiers who were eating were driven by these wolf-like guards, hurriedly put on their clothes and armor, and gathered in the open space in the center of the camp.

Xu Chen in the tent was naturally alarmed, lifted the curtain, looked at the soldiers who were gathering, and was silent.

"Big brother, they're going to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle!" Lu Hao on the side said solemnly.

It's just that Xu Chen suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't expect him to be so anxious!"

Lu Hao was puzzled, but he heard Xu Chen spit out a sentence leisurely.

"At this point, it's indeed time for the underworld to collect people! If you hurry up, you really have to spend the night in the wilderness......
