Chapter 167: The Town
"Zhang Taiyan, look, this is a flower crown. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" On the grass, Zhong Leyuan happily knitted flowers into a crown and put it on his head. Mao Xiyu on the side held the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.
Zhang Taiyan was relieved in his heart, but then he also began to become depressed.
...
Two nights ago, Zhang Taiyan and the three finally entered Lapland Province, and then after a full dinner, Mao Xiyu pulled him out of the room and came to the back of the post station.
"Do you want to get a little bit of exercise before bed? I'm going to sleep soon, and I'm going to go tomorrow. ”
Mao Xiyu said to Zhang Taiyan with a serious face: "Zhang Taiyan, now I want to tell you a very important thing. ”
Zhang Taiyan's heart felt bad.
"You know that Xiaoxi's state is quite bad right now, right?"
Zhang Taiyan nodded.
"It's only the strength of the primary fighting spirit, right, not the strength of the silver fighting spirit."
Zhang Taiyan nodded.
"Then let me tell you, now that you are going to have a fight after entering the imperial capital, what do you think?"
Zhang Taiyan was stunned and said, "Why do we want to fight?" ”
Mao Xiyu touched his soft hat and said: "It is a common practice in the military department that when the major responsible persons of the military regions of the country gather together, a competition will be held. This is a to test your strength, but more importantly, it is a selection for a certain purpose. ”
Zhang Taiyan frowned and said, "It can't be for us to perform some kind of dangerous mission, right?" ”
"It seems that you should know that there must be three armies in each region, and there are a total of five regions in the alliance, in the south, east, west, and west, a total of fifteen army leaders, who will participate in the battle with their retinue."
"So what are the rewards for winning, and what are the penalties for losing?"
"It doesn't seem to be anything if you win, it's just that the name is nice, the strongest in the country or something, and the rest, the top three from the bottom seem to be relegated."
"I think Zhong Leyuan's strength, plus you and me, shouldn't be in the bottom three."
"Don't you know that the military commanders of the whole country have basically awakened the silver fighting spirit, or have strong mecha operation ability, right?"
Zhang Taiyan began to rub his temples.
"The conditions for becoming a military commander lie in two points: first, possess extremely high military merit and strategic ability. Second, it has extremely strong strength, and can use fighting energy to defeat a bandit den, or use a mecha to sweep a mutated life, such as a barbarian. As long as you meet one of them, you can have the qualifications to become the commander of an army. ”
Zhang Taiyan felt that things were in trouble, in case he lost the battle and turned around and was demoted, what should he do, he didn't necessarily have to find another person to take on the position that Zhong Leyuan had worked so hard to achieve.
"So, as an indirect cause of her great loss, we must take responsibility and allow it to lose, but not to become the third from the bottom, if you can't do it..."
...
Looking at Hippolyta, who was still weaving garlands, Zhang Taiyan sighed.
"Alexander."
A wreath was placed on Zhang Taiyan's head, and Zhong Leyuan said with a smile: "Smile, don't be so depressed." ”
Zhang Taiyan smiled bitterly twice, and then sighed and said to Zhong Leyuan: "Commander, do you know that we are going to have a competition after we arrive in the imperial capital." ”
She looked at Zhang Taiyan in surprise and said, "I know, but how do you know about this?" ”
"It doesn't matter, what do we do now?"
"Cold salad."
Zhang Taiyan said anxiously: "Commander! Those who lose will be relegated! ”
"I've known about this for a long time, but I want to say that when I became the commander of the Western Border Guards, I knew how to deal with it."
"Then you're still so calm?"
"What else can I do if I'm not calm? If you want to fight, you can fight, and if you can't fight, you will admit defeat. ”
Zhang Taiyan covered his face, he didn't know what to do now.
"But don't be discouraged, we still have a chance to win, as far as I know, there are three army leaders who are relatively backward, and they are not better off than us."
Zhang Taiyan thought for a while and said: "In that case, our winning side is not bad, as long as it is not the bottom three." ”
"That's right, think of it that way." Zhong Leyuan looked at Mao Xiyu, then at Zhang Taiyan and said: "And the two of you are not bad, the fox girl with superb skills, with a silver fighting spirit, a junior card maker with flowing water fighting energy, and a mini mecha, our victory surface is quite large." ”
Zhang Taiyan exhaled a breath, and his suppressed mood relaxed a little.
"If I'm not mistaken, the stationmaster said there's a nice town here, let's spend the night there today."
"Okay, no problem."
"To be honest, it's not bad to spend the night in the field, the aroma of the grass and the flowers, it's a good feeling."
Mao Xiyu put down the teacup, she listened to the conversation between the two, but she didn't make much noise, as if she was thinking about something, thought about it, and said, "I don't mind, let's spend the night here today." ”
Zhang Taiyan smiled bitterly, Hippolyta had been sleeping in the wild for two nights in order to feel nature.
Next.
The small town, compared to the lonely town in the west, is significantly larger, and the town that accommodates a thousand people is also brightly lit at night.
Zhong Leyuan looked at the town, very happy, and said to Zhang Taiyan: "Near the imperial capital, it is really lively. ”
"It's nothing compared to the imperial capital, the imperial capital has a population of one million, and there are many shops, until the night curfew, otherwise they are all brightly lit."
"Great, let's go to the imperial capital early."
Mao Xiyu looked at the town and said, "Well, however, before entering the imperial capital, we still have to make the final supplies here, there are some materials, it is better to buy them here, if they are in the imperial capital, it will be much more expensive." ”
"That's right."
Mao Xiyu smiled and said to Zhong Leyuan: "I will be back soon, before that, you two will eat and drink for a while." ”
Zhang Taiyan smiled and said, "It's wrapped up in me!" ”
An hour later.
"I need comfort," Zhang Taiyan said with a tired face.
Shopping is one of women's hobbies, and Zhong Leyuan is no exception, and Zhang Taiyan personally thinks that this is simply getting worse.
The traps in his hand were accurately put on the porcelain dolls one by one, and then happily said to Zhang Taiyan: "My technique is good." ”
"Not bad, not bad."
If a battle-hardened soldier doesn't have any accuracy, then simply start training on the basics again.
Zhong Leyuan has overcome all the obstacles and won numerous awards, but the bitter one is Zhang Taiyan, and the backpack is stuffed with all kinds of playthings, porcelain dolls, rag dolls, cloth shoes, and all kinds of cheap snacks. This is very interesting for her, who is busy with cultivation all day long, happily eating snacks, gummies, and pies.
Zhang Taiyan carried a large bag on his shoulders, tired and half dead, and the energy in his body flowed, soothing his tired body.
"It's not a long-term solution." The whole body, miscellaneous things add up, at least fifty or sixty catties, which makes Zhang Taiyan feel the importance of strength.
"Alright, that's all for today."
As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Taiyan was on the verge of amnesty.
"Let's go back to the hotel."
Carrying all kinds of things, with Zhong Leyuan's brisk steps, he returned to the hotel step by step.
...
"It seems that I used a lot of money today."
Zhong Leyuan played with all kinds of small toys in his hand and ate snacks. Then he picked up a dagger and said to Zhang Taiyan, "This dagger is for you." ”
Zhang Taiyan took it in his hand and looked at it and said, "This dagger is made of brass, and as an auxiliary weapon, it is not bad." ”
He then pinned it to his waist and placed it with his rapier.
"If you like it, if you like it. ”
"When I go back to the imperial capital, I will find the best scabbard to restrain this dagger."
"If you can cultivate your Dou Qi well, I'll be very happy."
Zhang Taiyan smiled, about the Qi in his body, he kept saying to Zhong Leyuan that what he woke up was flowing water and fighting spirit, and over time, it would be wrong to make a mistake like this, anyway, the two have interconnected, and such a subtle misunderstanding is not a big deal.
