On the way back, Ma Yu was still a little excited. He said to Shi Ziling: "Ziling, although I know that you will definitely win without using strange arts, I really didn't expect your swordsmanship to be so powerful. Is it really the 'Yu Family Eight Style' that you use?"

Shi Ziling said: "I really used the Yu Family Eight Style, but I added some of my own ideas and changes to it. ”

"Actually, I didn't intend to hurt people, but my actual combat use of this swordsmanship is not mature enough after all, if my swordsmanship is really powerful enough, it will not be difficult to stop for a while and hurt Tang Yifei's life. I didn't expect everyone to cheer for this, could it be that the people in Songhu City hate Tang Yifei very much?"

Ma Yu said: "It's not that I hate Tang Yifei, but everyone worships you as a hero." In today's troubled times, almost everyone is still martial, and everyone hopes that there will be a few more heroes like you to boost the prestige of our Songhu City. ”

"You must know that among the so-called five major families, our Duanmu family in the eastern continent has always been the weakest in terms of martial arts strength, and this time you can defeat Tang Yifei, one of the 'Four Great Princes', so simply and beautifully, it is equivalent to proving to everyone that in addition to the Duanmu family, there are still masters in our east who can compete with big families like the Tang family in the Central Plains. ”

"Although the east is rich, there have been few masters who can compete with the major traditional families for many years, so your killing of Tang Yifei this time has really greatly boosted the confidence and momentum of our military and civilians in the east, and everyone will naturally cheer for you. ”

Shi Ziling said: "But I hurt my opponent's life in the competition, and I always feel a little sorry in my heart. ”

Ma Yu said disapprerovingly: "What's this, casualties in the competition are inevitable." You win the dignity, even the Tang family has nothing to say. Besides, now is the era when the strong are king, as long as you are strong enough, there will be countless people who support you and follow you. ”

"Although we only got the position of lieutenant general this time, your performance is undoubtedly the best of all, with both unpredictable thaumaturgy and magnificent swordsmanship, which has laid a good foundation for you to lead the defending army in the future. ”

"With the strength you have shown today, I believe everyone will recognize you as the number one master in our Songhu City garrison. In the future, if there is a war, as long as you climb the heights and shout, I think even the sergeants under other generals will definitely have many people following you and willing to charge into battle with you. ”

Shi Ziling didn't think so far, but he did regret that he hurt Tang Yifei's life. After listening to Ma Yu's explanation, although he was a little relieved in his heart, he still secretly warned himself not to use the blade easily in the future.

In fact, although Shi Ziling is obsessed with the world realm of martial arts, he just wants to explore the unknown of life through this, and he is not too interested in real killing techniques. In his opinion, if his swordsmanship could be a little better, maybe Tang Yifei would not die today.

When Shi Ziling returned to the Yu family, because the Yu family had already received the news, Zhilu Dao Shi Ziling Lik Qunxiong got the position of deputy general as he wished, and everyone came to the door to greet him happily.

Yu Wei walked in the front, and Lao Yuan shouted in a loud voice: "Deputy General Shi, General Shi, congratulations to General Shi on his victorious return, Ha Lu Ha ......"

Everyone in the Yu family laughed.

Shi Ziling glanced at Yu Wei and said, "I'm not going out to fight, what are you saying about returning from victory, you are really nonsense! Besides, I'm just a little lieutenant general, so why do you need to come out to greet me." ”

Yu Zhengtian said with a smile: "Ziling, today you have not only been given the post of deputy general, but I heard that you have even surpassed the audience, and you have been unanimously applauded by the officers and men in the army, and the future prospects must be limitless! Such a gratifying and congratulatory thing, how can we not come out to greet you! We must have a good celebration tonight and get drunk before resting!"

Everyone echoed in unison.

Shi Ziling understood everyone's intentions, and saw that everyone's interest was so high, although he didn't have much interest in drinking, it seemed that he had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman tonight......

Early the next morning, after having breakfast, Shi Ziling came to the barracks of the defending army alone to report for duty.

The garrison of Songhu City totaled more than 50,000 people, led by Zhao Xiong and Gu Fei, two chief and deputy commanders, and there were military positions such as staff generals and deputy generals under the commanders. The general is mainly responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass and managing ordnance, while the deputy general is mainly responsible for guarding the city and exterminating horse thieves and bandits.

The military camp was divided into the south camp and the west camp at the southwest end of Songhu Castle, where most of the sergeants were stationed, and the main camp of the garrison was located not far from the palace of the castle keeper, and the largest of the mansions was the usual office of the two lords.

Shi Ziling walked into the main camp, and along the way, many sergeants who had seen him in the martial arts arena yesterday saluted and greeted him, and their eyes were full of awe.

Yesterday, Shi Ziling passed all the way until he won the last game, whether it was the unpredictable soul dementor ** or the most powerful and magnificent swordsmanship all the way to the end, the soldiers present regarded him as a celestial.

Many people privately say that Shi Ziling is already a top master who can rank among the top 50 on the top 100 list, and you must know that garrison adults like Ma Dai and Chen Gongzhao are only ranked more than 70 on the top 100 list.

Although Songhu City is the richest and largest city in the east, there have always been few masters who can compete with the major families outside except for the Duanmu family. The soldiers and civilians are worried that once a war breaks out, the Duanmu family, which has the weakest martial arts strength among the five major families, will be able to resist the invasion of those peerless masters from the northwest and other places like wolves and tigers together with the defenders.

And the birth of Shiziling gave everyone hope. He is so young and has unlimited potential for development. With him, the future of Songhu City seems to be brighter.

Due to the addition of three new deputy generals, Zhao Xiong and Gu Fei specially summoned all the generals and officers above the rank of 1,000 generals in the army today, first, to let everyone get to know each other, and secondly, to arrange the division of labor among them.

When Shi Ziling entered the Metropolitan Mansion, the people had not yet arrived, and the two main and deputy Metropolitan Lords had not yet arrived. When the first thousand general staff officers saw Shi Ziling coming in, they all stepped forward to greet him, and everyone praised Shi Ziling's miraculous performance in the martial arts arena yesterday.

Shi Ziling said humbly: "Everyone, although I have studied martial arts, I don't know anything about the affairs of the army, and if there is anything I don't understand in the future, I will ask you for more advice." ”

The general Wang Shen, who was in charge of deciding the winner during the competition yesterday, came over and patted Shi Ziling on the shoulder and said, "Brother Shi, you don't have to be modest, your strength is obvious to everyone." I think there is no second person in our city defenders who can kill a famous master like Tang Yifei in the blink of an eye. ”

"As for the affairs of the army, although it is a troubled time now, our east is still very peaceful, even if there are a few horse thieves and rogues occasionally, there is still some distance from Songhu City. Therefore, except for regular training of soldiers and horses, we usually do not have any major events. ”

"To put it mildly, if something big happens one day, what can we three-legged cats do, and when the time comes, you will have to take care of us more, Brother Shi. ”

Yang Weiqing, who had just been promoted to the position of deputy general through the competition yesterday, came over and said: "Brother Shi, I won't tell you, in fact, we have discussed it in private, once there is a war, no matter what Li Xiaoyao is, or what Xiahou Feiyang, if they really bring people and horses to Songhu City, we will probably have only one way to die." ”

"Although the Duanmu family is very famous, you also saw it yesterday, Duanmu Xuan can't even beat a woman. Besides, the Duanmu family's strength was not as good as that of the Xiahou family and Li Yuan's Tongtian Sect. When the time comes, we really don't have that confidence to expect them to take the lead against a strong enemy. ”

Shi Ziling frowned and said: "The confrontation between the two armies is not something that can be solved by just a few masters, right? I think no matter how strong a person is, but in the face of thousands of troops, I am afraid that he will not be able to start." ”

Yang Weiqing said: "Why haven't you heard of it, that Tongtian Sect Leader Li Yuan once exterminated tens of thousands of Lingbao Sect remnants in one fell swoop with three hundred sect members. Legend has it that when his martial arts reached his level, with a wave of his hand, hundreds of enemies were overturned on their backs. There is also the Yanyun Legion of Xiahou Feiyang, their iron cavalry is said to be able to defeat a hundred with one enemy. Where will these ordinary soldiers in Songhu City be their opponents?"

"Yes, yes," Counselor Wang nodded again and again, "That's why I said that only a person like you, Brother Shi, who has superior strength and excellent channel skills, can withstand those strong enemies like wolves and tigers." ”

"Spermatozoa?"

Shi Ziling secretly wondered how his soul dementor ** had suddenly become what they called Taoism?

He was about to distinguish when the general Wang continued: "You pointed at that Li Feiran with your hand yesterday, and that guy fell from the air to the ground at once, and until yesterday, he was still talking about his weakness and his brain was buzzing." And that Fu Jian, as soon as you worked, he automatically admitted defeat and stepped down, I don't think he understands what's going on until now. ”

"Brother Shi, I didn't understand what was going on yesterday, until I asked the white-bearded old Taoist priest who returned to Longguan when I went back, and I realized that you used a superior Taoist technique!"

"It's good now, if the two armies face off in the future, as long as Brother Shi and you use Taoism, then whether he is a Tongtian Sect or an iron cavalry, we don't have to worry!"

Shi Ziling couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't know what the old Taoist priest who returned to Longguan was talking about when General Lu Dao Wang said that he would say that his "soul dementor" was Taoism. If you really want to be a fine channel technique, then just pinch your fingers and calculate, don't you know your origin? Do you still need to worry about amnesia?

Looking at everyone's blind trust and expectation of himself, he almost regarded himself as half an immortal, and Shi Ziling couldn't help but feel a little big. He can't honestly explain the principle of "dementorship**" to them, they won't understand it if he does.

When Shi Ziling was worried, the two lords walked in, and everyone stopped talking.

Shi Ziling's eyes swept away, and only then did he realize that Bai Qingshuang had come earlier than him, and she was standing in the corner and did not participate in everyone's conversation. Her face was still veiled, and she didn't look at herself, not knowing what was going on in her mind.

From time to time, a few thousand presidents would come forward and want to talk to her, but Bai Qingshuang looked like she was rejecting people thousands of miles away, so they could only walk away boringly.
