"Xiaoxi, you seem to be in a good mood these days?"

"Huh? Master? No, no. Hee-hee. ”

"You're gloating, aren't you?"

“……”

"If you don't quibble, I'll admit it, and now I'll start calling the great handsome guy I respect..."

"Wait a minute, respected great handsome... I guess I need to quibble. ”

At the same time, in the governor's palace in the north of Xingnan City, the governor of southern Xinjiang, Zhu Zhenfan, the first-class duke of the empire, the god of war and the madman of southern Xinjiang with the reputation of "the lion under the mountain", were looking at the mountains in the distance without saying a word.

Southern Xinjiang was an important part of the southern part of the Longtu Empire, including the three provinces of Nanhua, Nanrong and Nanluo.

Among them, Nanhua is located in the northernmost part and is connected to the empire mainland by a narrow pass of the Monopoly Mountain.

The province of Nam Vinh is located in the richest central and eastern regions.

On the contrary, Nanluo Province, which is connected to many small countries and even foreign territories, and the surrounding situation is complex and crisis-ridden, but it is where the Governor's Office of Southern Xinjiang is located.

The terrain in the north-central part of the entire Longtu Empire is flat and fertile, which is the native power inherent in the empire for a long time, and it is also the foundation.

In the southern part of the empire, there is almost the entire eastern continent of the east and west of the Longduan Mountains, its terrain is high and steep, stretching for thousands of kilometers, and it is also the source of many rivers flowing in all directions, so it is also known as the Eastern Continent Holy Mountain.

As early as 200 years ago, the then powerful Longtu Empire spent a lot of energy and resources trying to break through a weak pass on the periphery of the Broken Dragon Mountains and invade southern Xinjiang. With the help of extraordinary powers, despite the difficulties during the period, he finally succeeded.

According to the ambition of the Longtu Empire, the reason why it will spend great efforts to open up the Broken Dragon Mountain Range is that it wants to include all the dozens of small countries in the south of the Broken Dragon Mountain Range into the territory and enhance its own national strength to support the protracted war against the Three-Eyed Barbarians in the north.

Originally, the empire occupied less than a province.

But thirty years ago, Zhu Zhenfan inherited the family business under special circumstances, and then led the formation of the Southern Xinjiang Army to cross the Broken Dragon Mountains to the south of southern Xinjiang.

Everything has changed.

During this period, he destroyed several small countries in the chaotic southern Xinjiang region through the law of joint verticals, or forcibly seized life, and even occupied the most important barren stone road in southern Xinjiang in the past ten years.

It crushed some of the surviving countries around it almost breathlessly.

It also expanded the territory occupied by the empire, which was less than one province, to the land of the three provinces it is today. It occupies the most fertile land south of the entire Broken Dragon Mountain Range, and breaks the entire southern Xinjiang region into two pieces like a gourd.

The entire southern Xinjiang region, of which about 1/10 is the current three provinces of southern Xinjiang, the remaining half is in the east, half is in the west, and the small countries on the east and west sides want to communicate with each other, and have to buy tolls, which is a tragic word.

Even, if it weren't for the xenoplane invasion fifteen years ago, which unexpectedly broke out within the three provinces of southern Xinjiang, maybe the entire southern Xinjiang would have knelt at the feet of this madman now.

But it was precisely this unexpected war that caused southern Xinjiang not only to fail to achieve the goal of gathering resources to support the war in the north.

Moreover, a lot of manpower and material resources were wasted, causing the northern region to lose one after another in the war with the barbarians, and had to stop the pace of the southern expedition.

Fortunately, the kings of this world that pay attention to strength, if not those characters who are diligent in cultivating themselves and working hard, are at least willing to work hard, so it is unlikely that there will be faint kings.

did not lead to the collapse of the empire in this rather reluctant process of opening up territory.

Later, the Longtu Empire also put itself in a correct position, and its duty was to consolidate the three provinces of southern Xinjiang, making them a mineral and agricultural base, and the situation in the south was thus stalemate.

From time to time, I will fight with the small countries in the surrounding state of madness, or make some war money, or every few years, I will fight with the Inhuman tribes who come to fight the autumn wind...

Only the governor of southern Xinjiang, who took advantage of the chaos and crisis caused by this unexpected foreign war, took sole power, gradually broke free from the constraints of the empire, and became the biggest winner.

The empire had to canonize him as a first-class duke and become the de facto controller of the three southern provinces.

With an unhurried 'bang' sound from far and near, the governor of southern Xinjiang came back to his senses and let the wine glass in his hand fall from the high platform into the courtyard below.

As if because he didn't hear the sound of the glass breaking, he frowned a little dissatisfied.

"I thought it was going to shatter. But it didn't..."

"Solo, you say, I obviously feel that there is nothing wrong with everything, but there is always a kind of uneasiness that hangs over people, but people can't notice it at all, what could be the reason..." Zhu Zhenfan didn't pay attention to the old butler's instructions, his eyes were deep and dangerous.

The old butler listened to his master's words that seemed to mean something else, and a heart-pounding chill came out of his heart, and he didn't dare to answer this sentence for a long time.

The Duke's consciousness vaguely expressed his distrust of the people around him, so even his seniority did not dare to express his opinion at will.

This is not the first time, as the most trusted housekeeper of the other party, he naturally knows how many people have been disposed of openly and secretly in the past month.

And in fact, it also proves that the Governor may not suspect out of thin air, and those who are disposed of have more or less some problems. However, it is as if there is a force that makes everything rational and makes all the problems fragmented and unimportant.

But as a person who has come before, sometimes this kind of reasonableness often represents a greater unreasonableness.

Zhu Zhenfan suddenly laughed, and he didn't embarrass his old housekeeper: "How are things going?" ”

"A preliminary selection of 100 people has been selected from all over the country to prepare for the secret guard formation. It's just that although the loyalty of these people is not a problem for the time being, their strength is uneven. Most of them, I'm afraid, will be embarrassed..."

The governor of southern Xinjiang faced the old butler's doubts, but he smiled indifferently, but said with satisfaction: "Hehe... That's good. ”

"Southern Xinjiang... There is no enemy of mine... Even if it's those aliens. So what I need is not a real dark guard with more power. ”

Solo said that habit can't keep up with thinking, "??? ”

"Hiding behind us, the real enemy is cunning, but even the most cunning enemy will show its tail. Since they are so good at hiding, then I will break the current situation and make them unable to hide. ”

"I will give those newcomers enough 'trust' and preference, and even let them become important pawns in the eyes of others. As long as they are hard enough ... ”

"Then, when a group of upstarts who are not worthy of virtue appear, there is always someone who will jump out. I don't believe that those with ulterior motives can hold back and not bite... I'll know who has the energy to do it right under my nose. ”

"Solo, you go and tell the people below that you can take extra care of those flags, so that they can grow to the top as soon as possible."

Solo looked at the gloomy master in front of him with a complicated expression, but in the end he didn't say anything: "It turns out that the so-called cultivation of a new team is just a bait... Master, I hope you don't end up losing yourself, you back then...'

。。。。。。

Assassination, poisoning, secret words, lurking, disguise, even acting, etiquette education, etc., and of course, the most maddening brainwashing mission.

Luo Xia unknowingly spent his 1st birthday, well, I've been in this world for 1 year, so there's nothing wrong with being 1 year old.

Luo Xia was just thinking that if he could also catch Zhou, what if he was able to catch women? Or is it better to grab money?

Of course, it didn't matter, because the three-month hellish training was so painful that he didn't even think about it.

All of it, in the sun and at a distance, will be beautified. But in the actual dark world, the spy is not as chic and majestic as 007.

A real spy has no justice, not even humanity. Take death row prisoners to understand the vital points of the human body and test the poison formula.

Role-play in the dirtiest and most complicated places, pretending to collect intelligence, and in the blink of an eye, you may have to switch emotions and flirt with those restless noblewomen.

Although everything is mainly drills except for death row prisoners, for Luo Xia, it is still a bit ruined. Plus one-on-one brainwashing and preaching every night.

Sometimes he really doesn't want to act with this violent and ugly guy anymore. Several times he almost thought that he was really a loyal dog raised by the governor, of course, after reacting, he felt sick to his stomach and disgusted.

Therefore, being a human being is sometimes really inferior to a dog, thinking about how chic and heartless it was when I was not a human being.

Fortunately, after three months, I finally got through. He was placed in a new identity, and a 'legitimate' third identity, the orphan of a former sergeant major (squadron leader) of the Fury Hammer Regiment.

It was only at this moment that Luo Xia felt the horror of the dead guards in these 'feudal' eras.

Triple identity, one more secret than the other. If he is really capable and truly loyal to the Duke, then how terrible would it be to suddenly launch a fatal blow against the Governor's enemies under activated conditions one day after climbing to a high position?

Straight to the point.

The soldiers of this world, in terms of soldiers alone, do not have specific titles, unlike in the previous life, when they reached a certain level in ancient times, they had rank treatment, 28 titles or something.

Because there is a more universal proof that can be used instead, and that is professional certification. The military rank may have room for manipulation and will be unfair, but professional certification will not, relying on hard power (relative fairness).

For example, in the military, ordinary soldiers generally do not have strength requirements, but the higher the certification level obtained, the better the treatment, and the easier the opportunity to get promoted.

And above the rank of non-commissioned officer (captain), lieutenant officer (squadron leader), etc., the elite level or even the warrior level has become a must.

After all, if the strength is not up to standard, it will affect the overall combat effectiveness.

The way of certification is very simple, a neutral body organized by the Demon Breeder Association, and paid for the assessment. If you pass it, you will be able to apply for a new certification certificate, and you can come back at any time after a while.

The test is completely actual combat ability, not imaginary paper strength.

Although there are some frauds, but considering that they will be challenged, they will be punished jointly and severally if they are revealed.

In general, there is no fraud. It's a fair model.

Just like Luo Xia's new identity 'father' is an elite and high-level professional, the military lieutenant is the pinnacle of his military rank.

Because the other party is also an orphan, Luo Xia has no pressure to adapt to his new identity, and he can even mix a set of real estate and a wave of pensions for nothing: 50 gold coins.

By the way, according to the tradition of this world, in the newly formed Angry Hammer Legion, you can hang the title of Master Chief and become a petty officer in command of 20 people, if he wants to, and his strength reaches the elite level.

Of course, there is no one who wants to or not, he is now a reserve officer, a descendant of combat heroes and combat heroes. Don't forget that he survived the battlefield, even though he was just cannon fodder at the time.

Similarly, in exchange, Luo Xia and the other survivors of the Angry Hammer Legion, who also chose to remain loyal to the Governor, had to play a scene together afterwards.

The general content of the play is: the Angry Hammer Legion disrespects orders due to the previous captain's fierce fighting, and the rash advance causes the Angry Hammer to fall into the trap of the Inhumans, and is besieged by enemies several times their size.

Then after the unfortunate death in the frenzied battle, the second son of the governor, as the deputy commander of the legion, Young Master 'Zhu Weisi', resolutely led the remaining warriors to launch a Jedi counterattack, and finally defeated the Inhumans in a tragic victory...

The plot is so shameless, just talking nonsense with his eyes open, and then, the people of the three provinces of southern Xinjiang fell into a carnival...

Luo Xia didn't like this status, although he also served as a foil, and at the ceremony when Zhu Weisi was awarded the title of Legion Commander to prepare for the reorganization of the Angry Hammer Legion, he was awarded the title of the so-called Young Knight: it has no substantive meaning, it is an honor for the young class. Anyway, Luo Xia said he didn't know.

But at first, he was just a coolie at the time, and he didn't have any empathy for Bao Ze with the dead Angry Hammer soldiers, and he even had a hateful position if he really counted it.

Second, he needs an identity for him to integrate into the world. But most crucially, he has no power and power to say no.

It is precisely for this reason that as long as Luo Xia is not stupid, he will understand that the new Angry Hammer Legion Commander with the temperament of the Second Ancestor will not want to see him dangling in front of his eyes.

The so-called inherited military position is just empty talk, and it really loses.

All he could get was 50 gold and an ordinary house.

At the same time, it was time for Luo Xia to leave the MIA, or the MIA training base, and start a career as a spy.

"Wait! Thanks to the care and cultivation during this time, although I am familiar with a lot of knowledge about secret agents, my absolute strength does not seem to have improved much. Didn't you say at that time that you would give resources to improve your strength? ”

Luo Xia stopped the pock-faced leader who wanted to wave his hand to drive him away.
