Eighty-eighth Preface Private Soldiers
Boom, boom, boom
Under the scorching sun, a long line of trucks, accompanied by a puff of dust, swept across the empty sand.
The convoy consisted of seven or eight carriages, with the first three carriages and the two carriages at the rear, which contained huge boxes and were guarded by vendors or workers in simple attire.
It is not so much a worker as a private soldier who travels in civilian clothes, and for those large families with a background, private soldiers are indispensable. Whether it is in the pomp and circumstance, or as the duty of guarding the family, it is of great significance.
At this time, the soldiers around the carriage were all holding long arrows in their hands, stuck in their waists, and their clothing was quite uniform, all dressed in black and brown colors, and some people were still constantly observing the surrounding situation, so as not to be able to respond at any time in the event of an accident.
And then again, although it is said that in every family, the private army is an indispensable part of a family, but due to the strict control of the empire, even if some families have a strong background, they dare not have too many achievements.
To put it simply, each family is divided into the size of the family, that is, there are different control over the number of private soldiers, for example, in some remote small towns, those families that are not very large, the number of private soldiers is under the jurisdiction of the system, and the number of private soldiers is maintained within a stable number, while in some central cities, or the top families with the emperor himself, the number of private soldiers that can be owned will be higher.
As for why there is a control over the number of private soldiers, I am afraid that anyone can understand it, for the sake of balance!
The way of balance is the primary requirement that every emperor must have, and the handling of anything must naturally be within a stable range of control. If there is no rule over the number of private soldiers, then if one day, when the number of private soldiers exceeds the number of private soldiers that the empire has, how will the state be governed.
In this regard, the degree of management in any empire is quite strict, and if the rules of the empire are violated and the number of troops is beyond the scope of the number of troops, then it is not necessarily impossible to be forcibly disbanded by the imperial army without the special preferential treatment of the emperor.
As Mu Ying's friend, Lian Po's family, the same is true among the Xuanmen Dao Shang clan, in the Shang clan, the private army is naturally an indispensable component, whether it is for the transportation of goods, or for the protection of finance, it has a role that cannot be ignored, and compared with ordinary families, the policy in the empire is to have another favor for the Shang clan, that is, the number of private soldiers that any Shang clan can have can be a grade more than other ordinary families.
For any family, being able to climb the Shang clan is a great benefit to their own family.
Aside from the abundant financial resources of the Shang clan, the number of private soldiers they possessed could not help but be underestimated.
There are even some families with strong backgrounds, and even a large-scale army of cultivators, which is naturally stronger than just a grade compared to ordinary armies.
At this time, this army, along with the carriage in front of him, was obviously a private soldier among the Shang clan.
Not only the infantry, but on both sides of the convoy, there were two cavalrymen accompanying them, holding snow-white spears in their hands, and silver-white armor flashing in the sunlight.
At this time, Mu Ying was in this carriage, prostrate on the window, looking at the scenery that was constantly passing by.
By the time we set off, it had already been three days.
At this time, Mu Ying's position was only on the border of the empire, and I heard the leader say that it would take at least three or four days to get out of the empire completely.
And in the past three or four days, Mu Ying has nothing to do when she is idle in the car, so she constantly runs her own yuan power in her body every day, so that she can achieve the effect of cultivation.
Although there was a little bump in the carriage, for a person like Mu Ying, whose perception was not inferior, this level of bump was probably not too much of an impact, so after a few days of practice, it also had a little effect.
And what made Mu Ying even more excited was that she had been at the peak of silver for several months, and after this period of stability, as well as the cultivation of these few days, the bottleneck of this silver peak actually showed signs of slight cracking!
Mu Ying can even guarantee that if there is a third-rank, no, even as long as there is a second-class demon core refining, it may not be impossible to reach the level of gold in these few days!
But right now, although it is said that Mu Ying had several high-grade magic cores before, they have all been used up now, and Mu Ying, who is empty, naturally has no magic cores.
This thought reminded Mu Ying of the battle in the woods, the spirit beast in the form of a python, at that time, Mu Ying and Baili Shou had a lot of effort to kill it, with its almost golden water, etc., the demon core it condensed was at least a third-class level.
Originally, this magic core was to be owned by Mu Ying, but due to Baili Shou Yu in that accident, it was absorbed away from Yuan Li Xiu and returned to the level of silver.
This recollection still makes Mu Ying have a lot of emotion.
It was at that time that Mu Ying met the two little sisters, Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao......
If he hadn't gone out hunting that day, I'm afraid that what happened before would not have appeared in Mu Ying's life, and in Mu Ying's heart, this woman would naturally not have appeared.
And God seems to have arranged this karma, that is, in the ghost envoy, Mu Ying and Da Qiao came together.
Thinking about it like this, Mu Ying was still a little grateful to Baili for keeping the promise, if he hadn't persuaded him to go hunting, there would probably not have been so many accidents.
Thinking about it, looking at the scenery outside the window, it was already at the border of the empire at this time, and compared to the town, it naturally seemed a lot more deserted, at least in this place, Mu Ying looked at it at a glance, it was all plains.
At this time, it is already autumn, and although the grass on the ground is still green with youth, a good part of it is already close to pale yellow, and it must not be long before the scene here will change.
On the dry land, as the wheels ran over, there was a lot of sand and dust splashing up, and in Mu Ying's Yuan Force Transformation, these dusts were all resisted by Mu Ying one by one, and did not enter the car window at all.
In this way, although it is boring, it is also a little comfortable.
"Okay, it's been so long since we were on the road, let's all take a rest. ”
Just as Mu Ying looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze, a loud sound broke the comfort.
In front of the convoy, the leading strong man jumped off the horse, his whole body flashed, and he easily fell to the ground.
The leader waved his hand at the convoy behind him and motioned for everyone to stop.
"The fire that should be lit, the erection of the platform, all give Lao Tzu to move faster, Lao Tzu is going to drink today!"
The leader shouted at the group of soldiers behind him with a rather amused face, and the soldiers took their tools from the carriage and began to erect the platform under the accent of what sounded like an order.
Apparently it was time to eat.
Touching her stomach, Mu Ying realized that she was really hungry.
