At noon the next day, the dazzling sunlight shone in through the window, and Mu Chen finally woke up from his deep sleep. Mu Chen, who reacted, slapped his head violently and scolded secretly: I almost delayed the business.

Mu Chen hurriedly washed up and walked out, and went straight to the military department, the head of the military department had already received the news, and allocated an army of 100,000 to Mu Chen, this army was already stationed in the suburbs of the imperial city, just waiting for Mu Chen to go to receive it.

Mu Chen took the talisman and led an ordinary white horse from the military department to the suburbs, and sure enough, the originally barren and inhabited field was full of makeshift tents. Looking at these neat and orderly tents, Mu Chen was slightly surprised, could it be that Mu Feng would leave an elite army for him?

When Mu Chen approached, he finally saw the appearance of these soldiers clearly. As Mu Chen thought, all of them were covered with wrinkles, and they all looked like they were all about forty or fifty years old, all of them were veterans, and they basically had no combat power.

Seeing Mu Chen's arrival, the commander of this army greeted him with his adjutant, gave an extremely standard military salute to Mu Chen, and said loudly: "Zhong Jiannan, the commander of the Tenglong Legion, greets the eldest prince of Mu Chen. ”

This momentum shocked Mu Chen, he didn't see the twilight aura that an old man should have in this general's body, but the murderous aura emitted by his body made Mu Chen awe-inspired. It's just that their combat power makes Mu Chen really dare not compliment, they are all ordinary soldiers, and people who have not cultivated have no strength at the age of forty or fifty, even if the momentum is still there, it can't affect anything.

But even so, Mu Chen still turned over and dismounted, and returned a standard military salute, his eyes revealing this sincerity and firmness.

"Commander Zhong, please report on the basic situation of our army. ”

"My Tenglong Legion used to be the defender of the western border, but because the soldiers were old, they were no longer suitable for this heavy responsibility, so they retreated to the second line. There are 100,000 soldiers in the whole army, and there is not a single young blood, the youngest is forty-three this year, and the oldest is fifty-seven this year. Each of them is a veteran of a hundred battles, and the oldest one has been in the army for 40 years, and he definitely has the most combat experience. However, it can't be reused, and the old man is in wait. ”

Mu Chen smiled slightly, very good, although he is old, his ambition has not been lost because of this. Mu Chen was very confident that all of these 100,000 people would break through the cultivation level and become a powerful army composed of all cultivators.

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Chen said to Zhong Jiannan: "Gather all the people above the position of the Thousand People's Regiment and give you five minutes, whoever can't come on time will expel Tenglong, my army will not allow useless people to appear." ”

As soon as Mu Chen's words came out, Zhong Jiannan didn't have a trace of doubt, and immediately ordered him to go down. Sure enough, as Zhong Jiannan said, there was no one in this army who lost their fighting spirit because of the twilight, and within five minutes, all the people above the commander of a thousand people rushed over, and Mu Chen counted it, exactly one hundred people, and there was no shortage of one. After a closer look, some of them were still chewing their lunch in their mouths, but even then they were standing neatly one by one.

Mu Chen couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart: The world thinks that this is a useless remnant army, but everyone knows that the most precious thing about an army is not the young and powerful young soldiers, but the momentum and experience honed over decades.

Zhong Jiannan stood at the front of the team and reported to Mu Chen: "Report to the eldest prince, the Tenglong Legion has a total of 100,000 troops, and there are a total of 100 people with a thousand regimental commanders and above positions, no one is absent, and all of them are present." ”

Mu Chen smiled and nodded, motioned for Zhong Jiannan to join the ranks, and then said, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Mu Chen, and I used to be the crown prince." Although General Zhong still calls me the eldest prince, I don't like this title myself. So you can call me Childe in the future. ”

Everyone nodded, and their movements were surprisingly consistent, which really surprised Mu Chen.

"Now it's your turn, take turns to introduce yourself. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Jiannan, who had always been calm, couldn't help frowning, and said to Mu Chen: "Childe, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, right? After all, there are so many people here, it's really a waste of time." ”

Mu Chen did not waver in the slightest, and said undoubtedly: "Zhong Jiannan listens to the order! Start with you, start now!"

Zhong Jiannan sighed, and finally said: "My name is Zhong Jiannan, the supreme commander of the Tenglong Legion, fifty-two this year, thirty-five years in the army, experienced thousands of battles large and small, and made hundreds of meritorious contributions......

With Zhong Jiannan at the beginning, everyone began to take turns to introduce themselves in an orderly manner.

"Commander of the First Legion of the Dragon Legion......"

......

Nearly an hour later, everyone finally finished speaking, Zhong Jiannan was about to fall asleep when he heard it, but Mu Chen remembered it all seriously.

"Very well, now I ask you a question, why did you join the army?"

The commander of a regiment of 1,000 raised his hand and replied, "To protect the homeland from foreign invasion." ”

Mu Chen glanced at him with interest and said, "Yes, I don't see the slightest hypocrisy in your eyes, if I'm not mistaken, your name is Wang Baichuan, right?"

"Yes"

Everyone was stunned, remembering the names of hundreds of people they met for the first time at once, how attentive this person was to listen.

Mu Chen then asked, "What will happen to you if you are not reused?"

Everyone was silent, they knew that they had passed the high-spirited age of their youth, and that they had been able to get to where they were now because of the habits left over from decades of military service. If they are not reused, their only ending is to disband, disarm and return to the field.

Mu Chen didn't wait for them to answer, and continued to ask, "Tell me, who are you loyal to?"

Zhong Jiannan did not remain silent this time, but said loudly: "Home!"

There was no hesitation, no fear, although it was only a short contact, he could already see that Mu Chen was a different person, and he would definitely not ask him about his sins because of this seemingly unfaithful answer.

Sure enough, Mu Chen didn't get angry, but applauded: "Very good, I like this kind of honest subordinate." So now I ask you, if you are given a chance to fight for your homeland, and the conditions of that opportunity are harsh and the process is painful, will you accept it?"

This time, it was no longer one person who answered, but hundreds of people answered in unison: "I'm willing!"

Mu Chen was also infected by this momentum, and said loudly: "This is very good, everyone disbands on the spot, go back to rest, and convey my instructions, the process is much more painful than you imagined, and those who can't accept it can only quit today, and officially start the hell cultivation mode tomorrow." Zhong Jiannan, you stay, and I have something to explain to you. ”

The crowd listened to the order, and without the slightest hesitation, dispersed. Only Zhong Jiannan and his lieutenant generals were left. Mu Chen didn't delay, took out a list from the storage bracelet, handed it to Zhong Jiannan, and instructed: "All the things on this list are purchased, and the funds are not enough to go to the household department to allocate them, so take my handwritten instructions and go." ”

Zhong Jiannan did not hesitate at all, and immediately walked down with his people and began to make preparations.

After everything was done, Mu Chen began to get a little bored, and then he thought that when he got up, he saw Mu Yuntian's message on the sound transmission jade, and asked him to go to Mu Yuntian after waking up, and he had something to give to him. Although Mu Chen was not interested in that "mysterious" thing, he was not good not to go, so he drove his horse to the palace.
