In verse 29, when he was thinking about his heart, his steps slowed down, and the sun slowly set in the west, and the setting sun gave him a long shadow. In order to facilitate Tian Hong's access to the guard camp, the house was not too far from the guard camp in the north of the city, but in such a short distance, Wu Ming walked for an hour. Today, most of the soldiers went to Tian Hong's place to eat and drink, and the entire Guard Palace seemed very quiet. From a distance, I saw a sedan chair parked at the entrance of the Konoe Palace, and several people who looked like family members were standing under the sun, constantly wiping their sweat. He was startled, he really didn't know who else was looking for him now, he thought to himself, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

As soon as he arrived at the door, a person suddenly came out of it, and when he saw that it was Wu Ming, he was overjoyed: "Ha, Lord Wu is you?" It's such a coincidence, it seems that there is no need to ask others to bring letters. ”

This voice was very familiar, Wu Ming looked up, and saw Liu Zezheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, smiling with a smile on his face, stepping out of it. Seeing that it was him, Wu Ming was also surprised and delighted, and said, "Lord Liu, I was about to look for you." ”

Liu Ze ran over in a few steps and grabbed Wu Ming's hand affectionately. said: "What a coincidence, I also have something to find Master Wu, let's get together." The way he looks makes Wu Ming quite unaccustomed. However, Wu Ming also knows that Liu Ze is also an invention fanatic, he met Lu Fang before, and he is like this now, it seems that most of his self-discovery is also related to this. He smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Lord Liu, it's so hot outside, let's go into the house and talk." ”

Entering Wu Ming's independent courtyard, Liu Ze couldn't wait to say: "Lord Wu, I came to you today because I had something to trouble you." ”

Wu Ming thought for a while and said with a smile: "Let me guess, is it because of the new type of chariot?" Liu Ze was taken aback and said, "Lord Wu, do you even know this?" In his tone, he was terrified. He had always felt that this matter was kept extremely secret, but he didn't expect the news to be leaked.

Wu Ming saw his trembling and frightened appearance, and could no longer bear to scare him. So I told me about the news I got from Lu Fang today. Liu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, wiped a handful of cold sweat, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Seeing him as if he was facing a great enemy, Wu Ming couldn't help but want to laugh and asked, "Lord Liu, what kind of treasure is it that makes you so nervous?" ”

As soon as he heard Wu Ming ask this, Liu Ze's face showed smugness. Shaking his head, he said, "Lord Wu, you don't understand this thing just by talking about it, if you really want to know." It's okay for me to take you to see it, but it's conditional. Wu Ming was overjoyed, he had been whetted many times by this thing today, and now he finally promised to take a look at it himself. I've been excited for a long time. Hurriedly said: "Lord Liu, tell me quickly, what do you need me to help you do?" ”

Liu Ze said: "Recently, we need real chariots, and to realize the power and range of this thing, we need ordinary soldiers and warriors. Ordinary soldiers are easy to find, but martial artists are more troublesome, respectively from one to six sections, Quanning can find such a complete configuration, I'm afraid only trouble Lord Wu. ”

Wu Ming smiled and said, "Lord Liu, it's easy to find a martial artist with more than three ranks, but I'm also embarrassed by the first and second stages." Liu Ze also smiled: "Lord Wu is hypocritical, this batch of martial arts students from Nanning Academy is about to graduate, some time ago I wanted to go to the academy to pick a few good seedlings to be my own soldiers, but these people all said in unison that they wanted to join the guard battalion." Now the officials and rich businessmen in Nanning don't know that Lord Wu, you have a big appetite, and you swallowed most of the martial arts in one bite, and you are still pretending to be poor in front of me. ”

When he said that, his tone was already very sour. Takeshi may not have been very popular in peacetime, but now it's wartime. Its value has also multiplied exponentially. Even if it is a low-level martial artist, he has now become a fragrant bait, after all, life is the most precious, who doesn't like to have a few more guards. It's just that these warriors were raked down by Wu Ming, and they were almost wiped out, so it's no wonder that he has such a tone.

Wu Ming smiled dumbly, Liu Ze even thought of this, obviously coming prepared. But Liu Ze's words really reminded him. In a few days, it will be the graduation ceremony of these little ones in Nanning College. The Guards Battalion will also usher in the first major blood change. He also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the addition of hundreds of martial artists, although the combat power was much inferior to these old soldiers, but at least temporarily relieved the pressure of insufficient manpower. Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Master Liu, don't worry, I will definitely get you the manpower you need at that time, but you have to tell me the time and address." ”

Liu Ze took out a scroll from his body and said, "Lord Wu, I have written all the manpower needed in it." In a few days, it will be carried out in the south of the city. Wu Ming took the scroll, nodded and said, "Lord Liu, but please rest assured, I will definitely not miss your big event." ”

Liu Ze said: "In this way, it will trouble Lord Wu, I will leave first, and I will not disturb your rest." I do not send it. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed the herbal tea on the table, took a big sip, and wiped his mouth. Hurried out. Look at him like this. Wu Ming only smiled bitterly, this Liu Ze is really a workaholic. If it weren't for myself, I guess I wouldn't have come here.

Early the next morning, Wu Ming got up early. Yesterday, he took a closer look at the scroll that Liu Ze gave him, and he knew that it was okay not to read it, but he was taken aback when he saw it, there were really a lot of people needed on it, and five people were needed for each rank. I don't know what this so-called new tank is, it needs so many people.

It should be no problem for a first-stage and second-stage martial artist to solve it, go to Nanning Academy by himself, say hello to Tang Xuan, and let those martial artists come to help, but the five sixth-stage martial artists made it difficult for him. Yang Xiong and himself are both over the sixth stage, which is definitely not up to the requirements. Although Tian Hong has been very diligent in the past year, he is still working in the late fifth stage. There is no breakthrough for a long time, and the entire guard battalion is now Lei Fei'er and Ge Yi are now in the sixth stage, one in the early stage, one in the middle stage, who are the other three people looking for?

Forget it, don't think about it for the time being, go to Nanning Academy first, and solve the problem of martial artists in the first and second stages.

Nanning College was built in the east of the city, a little far from the Guards Palace. Wu Ming thought about it, but still brought Nanwang out. After all, there are so many things going on right now that I really don't have time to wander the streets.

As I rode through the streets, the number of pedestrians gradually increased as I passed through the center of the city. Unlike before, there are now more people walking outside, not the surging refugees of two months ago. As soon as Tang Xuan's decree came out, the grain stocks in the hands of those big merchants and big families were sold, and the grain prices in Nanning had long been suppressed. In the past two months, the military stockpiling has also paid off, and the number of refugees has gradually thinned. Looking at the citizens coming and going on the street, he was also a little relieved.

Before he arrived at the academy, he heard a lot of noise inside, and the sound of shouting and killing was higher than the other. He turned over and looked south, and a porter had already trotted forward, saluted, and said, "Lord Wu, is it still the same old rule today?" "After all, most of the martial arts students who graduated this year will enter the guard camp, Wu Ming has been running to Nanning Academy a lot during this time, and this time he is naturally very familiar with him. The so-called old rule is naturally to feed Nanwang soybeans and take a bath.

He handed the reins in his hand to the porter and said with a smile: "Then it's troublesome big brother, thank you." What's going on today, why is it so lively? ”

The porter took the reins and smiled casually: "If you go back to your lordship, today happens to be the graduation assessment of the academy's martial arts students." Those martial arts students are doing graduation drills on the playground. ”

"Oh, so I really got it together." Wu Ming muttered and walked in.

On the playground of the academy, there are nearly 300 martial arts students who have graduated from this academy, and according to Zhu Yuqing's arrangement, the principle of volunteerism has been sent to the guard battalion to report a total of 263 martial artists. This is already a very high rate, and it is no wonder that Liu Ze is also sour when he mentions it.

When I walked into the college, I saw several large circles on the playground. Several martial arts practices are testing the achievements of martial artists. Zhu Huai's opening of the martial arts department originally implemented the principle of "applying what he has learned". On the basis of the traditional true qi, long and short weapons, Wusheng also added several military disciplines such as bow and arrow, equestrianism, etc. So this circle is also going on with relevant tests in several disciplines.

I look around. One of the teachers next to him shouted, "Quick, dodge, dodge." He screamed as hard as he could, and Wu Ming was also startled, and quickly jumped to the side, and as soon as he jumped away, he saw a group of knights rushing past him as if they were splashing the wind, raising a large cloud of dust.

These people were all dressed in the uniforms of the academy's martial artists. Also wearing a shield, apparently testing equestrianism. First, a knight on a red horse was the most eye-catching. Not only is his horse several times ahead of the others, but he also performs all sorts of difficult maneuvers on it. I saw that he sometimes fell down, suddenly dismounted and jumped up, and before his body could stop and hung back on the horse, the whole person was almost the same as the horse's body. All the onlookers were shouting and cheering in unison.

The knight was even more proud, circled around the playground, and when he approached Wu Ming's place again, he suddenly accelerated, and the horse was in pain, and suddenly he neighed, and suddenly launched a madness, and the entire front body almost stood up. The knight did not check, and immediately flew off his horse. With such a fast speed, it is really going to fall, it must be a lot of meat, and it is possible to even hurt the muscles and bones. There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd. The teacher just now was even more shocked, and shouted, "I wish the little boy ......"

Wu Ming was about to go to the rescue, but when he heard it at this time, he didn't dare to slack off, so he suddenly raised his true breath and drank softly. The person had turned into a faint afterimage, and he could catch the other party before Zhu Xiaolong landed. The exclamations around suddenly turned into cheers.
