On the Huanyue Valley, the commander of the Fourth Army of Youzhou and Shu Baiye, the lord of Ansan City, stood above the valley together.

Today is the period of competition between the young marshals of the four armies.

Although it is not related to the ranking results between the four armies, whether or not they can win the top spot this time also represents the honor between the four armies.

Dressed in red, Xia Gumeng, who has pretty eyebrows, swept away the previous lazy and charming atmosphere, and at this moment in front of everyone, she was like a proud fire phoenix perched on a plane tree, her eyes swayed, and she never stayed on anyone's body.

"Brother Song, I heard that there was a fire gushing in the west of Youzhou a while ago, and it was your tiger roaring army that went to suppress it. The earth is spewing fire, and its power is endless. Brother Song is fine. ”

What is said is that Mei Jinggen, the commander of the Jade Armor Army, is the same as his son Mei Xiangchen, Mei Jinggen also looks like a handsome son, but compared to Mei Xiangchen's feeling, Mei Jinggen gives people a mature and elegant taste, not like the commander of a large army, but more like a Confucian who starts to Danqing.

The four armies competed with each other and compared themselves with each other.

The Tiger Roar Army has been at the head of the four armies for a hundred years, and both the soldiers under its command and the commanders and generals are all top-notch people.

Although he coveted the position of the head of the four armies in his heart, even if Xia Gu dreamed of snatching the title of this leader from the hands of the Tiger Roaring Army, he thought that he was not a little sure.

Song Yue, the commander of the Tiger Roaring Army, is a burly man, with a resolute face and a pale green scum, if people see it, they only feel the masculinity rushing to their faces, and they are shocked by their hearts.

Speaking slowly, Song Yue's voice had a thick sense of grit, and it was very thick: "Brother Lao Mei remembers, Song is fine." The ground fire in the west was surging, the scope was very small, and there were people from the Youzhou military commander at that time, so it was fortunate to suppress it safely. ”

"Well, that's good, that's good. Suppress the earth fire and pacify the people. This must be a great achievement, and it is impossible to say that Brother Song's position will be moved up again. ”

Smiled and arched his hand towards Song Yue, Mei Jinggen said.

For Mei Jinggen's congratulations, Song Yue returned the salute indifferently.

"Old white face, your words are so sour, my teeth are about to fall out. Glancing at Mei Jinggen, Xia Gumeng covered his white cheeks and said.

"Xia Gumeng, can you leave some virtue on your mouth, who do you call an old white face. ”

Frowning, the Jade Armor Army and the Red Phoenix Army have been competing with each other for decades, and the commanders of the two armies are also at odds with each other, and they will fall into the well at every opportunity.

"I'll just call you, how about it!"

Completely indifferent to Mei Jinggen's face, Xia Gumeng's jade neck was raised, and he looked at Mei Jinggen without timidity.

The smell of gunpowder between the two became strong in an instant, and if they hadn't both held this identity, the two of them would have already fought.

"Okay, okay, let's not say a word. ”

Shu Baiye admonished.

With a cold snort from each other, Mei Jinggen and Xia Gumeng turned their heads away, not looking at each other.

Shaking his head helplessly, Shu Baiye slowly stood up: "I announce that this competition has officially begun!"

Shu Baiye gave an order, and the commander beside him immediately took out a trumpet arrow and launched it into the sky, and in the sharp chirp, the bright trumpet arrow exploded in mid-air, signaling the beginning of the fight.

The arrow rose into the air, and the young marshal of the Fourth Army, who had been preparing for a long time in the four directions of the Huanyue Valley, suddenly led his team and smashed headlong into the dense jungle in the Huanyue Valley.

In the Huanyue Valley, there were a hundred arrows that had been prepared, and the young marshal of the four armies entered the valley at the same time to search. The time is one day, and after a day, there is a beacon in the center of the valley, and when the time comes, the beacon will light wolf smoke.

At that time, the number of arrows will be counted at the beacon tower, and the winner will be clearly determined by the number of arrows.

At the top of the valley, the commander of the four armies watched his team enter the valley, although his eyes were flat, but there was still a faint expectation in his heart.

In the valley, Bai Mei incarnated as Mei Xiangchen's personal guard, and followed Mei Xiangchen into the Huanyue Valley. It was early morning, and the fog that filled the valley had not completely dissipated, and the team was covered with dew not long after they walked in.

The area of Huanyue Valley is very large, and each young marshal can only carry fifty people, and if you want to rely on fifty people in such a large place to search for a hundred arrows that are no more than the size of a palm, although it is not easy to find a needle in a haystack, it is not easy.

This time the competition seems simple, but in fact, it is also to see the command ability of the young marshals, looking for things in such a big place.

If the team is acting together, it is too inefficient. If they were divided into small groups, in this kind of valley without reference, fifty people would be like mud cows entering the sea, and disappear without a trace in an instant.

After entering the dense forest of the valley, Mei Xiangchen gave an order, and the fifty soldiers immediately took out a few bells from the quilt bags on their waists.

Obviously, Mei Xiangchen, who had anticipated this situation for a long time, had prepared in advance.

Fifty soldiers tied bells to their feet, and the crisp bells rang with each step, so that even if they were separated from the squad, they could each stay in a relatively concentrated area.

It not only expands the search area, but also avoids the situation of being left behind.

Following Mei Xiangchen on both sides, Bai Mei's eyes scanned the surrounding environment, this time the assessment content is not difficult, but it is a matter of time.

Although it is stipulated that the true cultivation of the foundation cannot interfere with the assessment, it is just a convention.

After all, if you really go to the battlefield, who will tell you about this and that rule.

Bai Mei, who had a plan in his heart, waited quietly at first, and the time kept passing, until noon. Mei Xiangchen looked at the eight pieces sent by his subordinates, and frowned slightly.

Huanyue Valley is too big, even if Mei Xiangchen tried his best to expand the scope of the search, but there was not enough manpower after all. It took half a day to collect eight arrows, which was less than one-tenth of the total.

"Brother Bai, do you have any good ideas?"

Turning his head to look at Bai Mei, Mei Xiangchen has always wanted to understand this strange and mysterious sword cultivation, but Bai Mei's cold personality always cleverly avoids him again and again.

"The solution is simple, wait. ”

Saying flatly, Bai Mei looked up at the sun overhead.

"Wait?"

Mei Xiangchen wondered.

Smiling slightly, Bai Mei leaned close to Mei Xiangchen's ear and told him his plan.

"Isn't that too risky. ”

Listening to Bai Mei's plan, Mei Xiangchen hesitated, after all, if it was according to Bai Mei's words, it would be equivalent to dealing with the other three armies at the same time, which was really too dangerous.

"Is there any? Anyway, it's so early, Young Marshal Mei can continue to lead people to search for Ling Arrow, and when the time is almost over, it's not too late to implement my method. ”

Bai Mei, who looked natural, said.

"Okay. ”

I always felt that Bai Mei's method was a bit excessive, but Mei Xiangchen thought about it carefully, but there was no method more effective than Bai Mei's method.

So Mei Xiangchen could only accept it temporarily, on the one hand, he continued to vigorously search for Ling Jian, and on the other hand, he thought about how to optimize Bai Mei's method.

It was dusk at noon, and the sky was getting dark

After the night shrouded, the soldiers under Mei Xiangchen's command took out the fire fold at the same time, illuminating the surroundings and continuing to search for the arrows.

Suddenly, a cry of pain came from a detachment not far from Mei Xiangchen's team.

When Mei Xiangchen heard this, he led the crowd to rush there, only to see three soldiers of the Jade Armor Army falling into a large pit more than two meters deep, and the bottom of the pit was covered with sharp wooden thorns, which blurred the flesh and blood of the three people's feet.

"Despicable!"

After rescuing the three soldiers, seeing the bloody soles of the three soldiers, Mei Xiangchen scolded in a low voice.

This competition is just a competition for honor, so there will be basically no casualties. But there is this kind of trap to hurt the opponent and slow down its progress, but Mei Xiangchen is not light.

"It's getting late, so be sure not to fall into this despicable trap again. Let the three Jade Armor Soldiers rest in place, Mei Xiang Chen Lang reminded the other Jade Armor Soldiers.

"Digging traps is such a despicable method, it is impossible for the Tiger Roaring Army to do it. Although Xia Yaoyi is arrogant, she will not be so inferior. That's Xie Jinglong's kid?"

The appearance of the other young marshals of the three armies flashed in his mind, and Song Ge, the young marshal of the Tiger Roaring Army, acted in a style similar to his father, majestic and upright.

Digging traps shouldn't be the one he did.

And although Xia Yaoyi is delicate and domineering, he has never done such a thing.

On the contrary, it is Xie Jinglong, the young marshal of the Yinze Army, who has been a young marshal for a short time. is the youngest son of Xie Pengbo, the commander of the Yinze Army, and his only son, and he has been named a young marshal for only three years.

Because the time he has been a young marshal is too short, Mei Xiangchen doesn't know much about it, and Mei Xiangchen is not very sure whether he did it or not.

The appearance of the trap slowed down the speed of the Jade Armor Army a lot, after all, in this thick night, always pay attention to the surroundings under your feet, which invisibly slowed down the pace of the Jade Armor Army a lot.

Sensing that the speed of travel was slowed down, Mei Xiangchen was also a little anxious, but he couldn't forcibly speed up, if anyone was injured again, the efficiency of the search would inevitably drop again and again.

Fortunately, in the subsequent march, the Jade Armor Army did not encounter any other traps, and no one was in their hands.

At the same time, the other three armies in the Huanyue Valley were all ambushed by traps without exception, and each had its own attrition. At the same time, every young marshal has secretly set his own suspicions in his heart.

Soon, a night of intense searching passed

The sky dawned and became cloudy

A long line of wolf smoke stretched across the sky, guiding the direction of the four armies in the Huanyue Valley.

"Young marshal, have you thought about it? If it's decided, we'll have to go to the beacon at full speed. ”

Bai Mei looked at Mei Xiangchen, for his plan, Mei Xiangchen considered it or not, Bai Mei needed an answer.

Mei Xiangchen, who was still hesitant about Bai Mei's plan, has completely let go of his worries after last night's trap incident.

Since you are unkind, do not blame me for being unjust.

Standing up straight, Mei shouted to Chenlang: "All soldiers, march towards the beacon tower at full speed!"
