Chapter 607: News from the Army

Putting aside the hospitality of those civilians, since the last time Zhang Jiutian stayed in Orchid Village to save the villagers, until he returned to the city today, Lin Xuanzhong saw Zhang Jiutian for the first time, and the two looked at each other and smiled after meeting, and greeted each other as friends.

For Zhang Jiutian, it was a pity that he could not accompany Lin Xuanzhong to Qincheng, and for Lin Xuanzhong, Zhang Jiutian was a person who stood the same position as him in the real sense.

On the way back to the General's Mansion, because of the increase in the number of people in the city, it was no longer as lifeless as before, and Lin Xuanzhong was very happy to see the happy smiles on the faces of those civilians.

I wanted to go back to Qucheng to keep a low profile, but because of the hospitality of those civilians, the entire general's mansion became lively. In the evening, those civilians also specially organized a dance troupe to send to the city lord's mansion. The city lord's mansion was full of laughter all night, and those songs and dances really made Lin Xuanzhong drink to the fullest.

The night passed, and early the next morning, Lin Xuanzhong, who wanted to return with the army, was unexpectedly left behind by the city people, because there were still many things in the city that needed Lin Xuanzhong's help. Who will lead Qucheng in the future, and whether they can continue to stay in the city, many people hope that Lin Xuanzhong can give them some advice.

For this reason, Lin Xuanzhong stayed in the city for two more days, and it was not until he helped them elect a new city lord that the army officially withdrew from Qucheng. Compared with the empty-handed when he came, when he went back, the night army returned with a full load, and the things that Lin Xuanzhong brought back far exceeded the standard of the task handed over by Yan Nantian. Not only that, Yan Nantian originally gave a month, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't even use it for half a month. In terms of the time it takes to collect grain, Lin Xuanzhong also performed well.

Qucheng was only fifty miles away from Shiyan City, and now he had to escort supplies, and the speed of the march was only half of usual, and two days later, Lin Xuanzhong returned to Shiyan City with his team. After handing over all the things he brought back to the internal affairs for inspection, Lin Xuanzhong was unexpectedly rewarded by Yan Nantian, and a credit fell on Lin Xuanzhong's head at the same time.

After that, Yan Nantian did not arrange other tasks for Lin Xuanzhong, but he also did not let Lin Xuanzhong be idle. In the following time, Yan Nantian kept Lin Xuanzhong by his side, teaching Lin Xuanzhong some knowledge of leading troops at any time, and cultivating Lin Xuanzhong's ability to communicate with people, so Yan Nantian officially introduced Lin Xuanzhong to Qi Lianhai and others.

Earlier, Qi Lianhai and the city lords had received the news from Qucheng, and they praised Lin Xuanzhong's way of cooperating with Qincheng to eliminate the bandits. Therefore, when they saw Lin Xuanzhong again, the first thing Qi Lianhai and the others did was to praise Lin Xuanzhong's young talent.

Speaking of which, eliminating the bandits is a good thing for Qi Lianhai and them, because if the bandit problem over there continues to be serious, sooner or later it will threaten Shiyan City, so when they praised Lin Xuanzhong, they also expressed a clear gratitude to Lin Xuanzhong.

Unlike Qi Lianhai and others, as Lin Xuanzhong's superior, Yan Nantian naturally pays the most attention to Lin Xuanzhong's results. Originally, Yan Nantian was still worried about whether Lin Xuanzhong would be able to complete the task, because according to the news he received before, Lin Xuanzhong should have taken the longest time, but now it was Lin Xuanzhong who came back the earliest, and for this reason, Yan Nantian was indeed surprised by Lin Xuanzhong's ability to do things.

For Lin Xuanzhong, praise from others doesn't mean much to himself, so every day when he has free time, Lin Xuanzhong practices swordsmanship in the small courtyard, and from time to time he also finds Zhang Jiutian to learn martial arts.

Earlier, Lin Xuanzhong had the idea of competing with Zhang Jiutian, but after staying in Shiyan City for a few days, the two of them were no longer interested in competing again. As in the previous opinion, Zhang Jiutian was an extremely outstanding cultivation genius in all aspects, even if Lin Xuanzhong felt that his swordsmanship had improved a lot recently, after testing his swordsmanship with Zhang Jiutian, he could still clearly feel the gap between the two.

Knowing that his swordsmanship was not as good as Zhang Jiutian's, Lin Xuanzhong also asked Zhang Jiutian from time to time for advice on swordsmanship cultivation, and then the two competed many times, although Lin Xuanzhong would make some progress every time, but he could not completely eliminate the gap between the two.

After another few days, Lin Xuanzhong had already understood very well that he had started too late in terms of swordsmanship cultivation, and there was no possibility of catching up with Zhang Jiutian in a short period of time.

On the other hand, in Zhang Jiutian's opinion, Lin Xuanzhong is completely a genius who cultivates swordsmanship, and he is improving almost every day, every time he fights martial arts, Zhang Jiutian can clearly feel that Lin Xuanzhong's swordsmanship is improving, not only that, but some of Lin Xuanzhong's performances can also promote his own progress. Therefore, the closer he got to Lin Xuanzhong, the more incredible Zhang Jiutian felt.

But sometimes when he thinks about it calmly, Zhang Jiutian feels that he doesn't need to be too surprised by Lin Xuanzhong's performance, because there are too many incredible things about Lin Xuanzhong, and it is indeed not just two words of "genius" that can be described.

Since the two of them have more free time, in addition to sword competitions, sometimes the two will also compete in body skills. In terms of body technique, although Zhang Jiutian's attainments are not as good as Lin Xuanzhong's, they are still more than one and a half stars stronger than ordinary martial arts cultivators, at least at present, Fang Qing and Ni Youbin's body skills cannot be compared with Zhang Jiutian.

It is worth mentioning that during the martial arts fight between Lin Xuanzhong and Zhang Jiutian, Yu Tong would occasionally come over to join in the fun. After Lin Xuanzhong killed the bandit leader with a sword that day, Yu Tong no longer regarded Lin Xuanzhong as a sixth-order martial cultivator, so fighting with Lin Xuanzhong was completely normal for Yu Tong.

After Yu Tong joined, Lin Xuanzhong's strength improved faster, because whether it was Zhang Jiutian or Yu Tong, they all had something worth learning from Lin Xuanzhong, and it was Lin Xuanzhong who was the best at learning the advantages of others.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it had been time for Lin Xuanzhong to return to Shiyan City, and the team that had gone to Liucheng had already returned, and it had brought back a lot of news.

Not long ago, the other two neighbors of the Wing Country, in accordance with the instructions of the Qingyuan Powers, had each sent an army to be stationed in two places in the Wing Country. In the name of helping the main wing country defend against foreign enemies, the two armies have been stationed in the wing country for many days, but they have not done anything in the real benefit of the wing country for many days.

At the same time, the wing capital is still the same as before, since the death of Ruan Qiling, the monarch of the wing country has concentrated all the remaining forces in the country to defend the imperial city, but in fact, the total strength is not even 50,000. Originally, he wanted to use those forces to defend the Wing Country in the last battle, but unfortunately, after the decisive battle between the two countries, the Night Army did not show any inclination to occupy the Wing Country at all.

Now that the armies of the two neighboring countries are coming, in desperation, the king of the wing country can only use the less than 50,000 troops to guard against the two armies that are closer to the wing. It is a pity to say that the monarch of a country who was originally dignified has now fallen to such a point.

Aside from the situation of the Wing Capital, the large and small cities in the Wing Country that have lost the rule of the royal family are now in the same situation as Shiyan City, they no longer expect to get the help of the royal family, but they also have to guard against threats from all sides, and the situation is very difficult.

When the war is together, the Wing Kingdom will be completely chaotic, and as Zhao Xu and others speculated before, the Wing Country will become a quagmire.

It has been almost a month since the end of the decisive battle between the two countries, and in the past time, Zhao Xu has received news from Yedu. Now that the danger of the night capital has been solved, they no longer have any worries, and some of their previous decisions can be changed. So, after discussing with the right minister, Zhao Xu planned to increase his troops in Shiyan City and use Shiyan City as a temporary station for the night army to occupy the Wing Country.

In addition, in the past 20 days or so, the night army has been busy dealing with all kinds of beasts and bandits in the snow country, and the results have been remarkable.

Now that the situation in various parts of the Snow Country has stabilized, Zhao Xu is starting to gather the troops scattered in the Snow Country, so as to send troops to the Wing Country.

It is worth mentioning that in less than a month, the right minister helped Zhao Xu recruit 100,000 recruits. The reason why the right minister was able to recruit 100,000 new troops has a lot to do with what the night army did in the snow country, but for a long time to come, the right minister will not recruit new soldiers, because the snow country needs to recuperate.

Soon after the decision to send troops to the Wing Country, the training of new recruits became a primary issue, and in this regard, Zhao Xu has made many arrangements recently. Next, the expedition is imminent.

In the camp of Beast Ridge Pass, Princess Lan Xin has been bored for a month, especially when Lin Xuanzhong is not in the camp, the military camp is no longer the place where Princess Lan Xin wants to stay. Although it was quite interesting for Fang Qing and the others to stay together on weekdays, they didn't always have the feeling that Lin Xuanzhong was by his side.

In a blink of an eye, it had been a month since Lin Xuanzhong left, and based on her miss for Lin Xuanzhong, Princess Lan Xin wanted to find Lin Xuanzhong. Just a few days ago, Zhao Xu ordered the three armies to set out on the expedition. So, a few days ago, Princess Lan Xin found Lan Feng to express her intention to go out with the army.

At the same time, Ni Youbin and Fang Qing, who learned the news, also wanted to find Lin Xuanzhong. So in the next few days, several people have been paying attention to the news about when to transfer troops. It would be best if the higher authorities offered to send them, and if the higher authorities did not arrange for them to go, they had to think of some way.

"Fang Qing, have you gone to find General Fang?" After the training of this day, Ni Youbin, who was more and more familiar with the military environment, went to the cavalry camp alone to find Fang Qing.

"My uncle told us to wait for a while, the marshal has not yet made specific plans. ”

"Do you think it's more likely that we'll be transferred?"

"It depends on how many people the marshal intends to send, and the more people there are, the greater the chance!"

"It's like I didn't say anything. ”

"If you have the ability, can you inquire elsewhere?" Seeing that Ni Youbin was not satisfied with his analysis, Fang Qing sneered unhappily.

"Count me as quick talk, don't you mind," the longer he stays in the army, the more Ni Youbin realizes the importance of identity, if he wants to be like a fish in water in the army, it is necessary to have a good relationship with someone with an identity background like Fang Qing, this is the truth that Ni Youbin has figured out recently, so at this moment, although he is dissatisfied with Fang Qing's speaking attitude, Ni Youbin still chooses to endure the past.
