Chapter 83: 100,000 Dao Troops (I)
In the Descending Dragon Valley, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu climbed the lookout platform and looked into the distance.
"I heard Captain Liu say that Sister Junzhu left this morning. Jiang Wu said.
Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes, Mrs. Sun from Yaowangzhuang came to pick her up in person, who can bear to refuse her mother's bitter pleas?"
Jiang Chen also handed over the "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum" to Junzhu for safekeeping, anyway, if it was left in the army, the book would either be destroyed or buried. Jun Zhu left Xiaobai behind and let Xiaobai hold Jiang Chen's hand.
"That's fine!" Jiang Wu nodded: "Our brothers don't have much to worry about, when the time comes, when we encounter demon beasts, we just have to fight hard!"
The two brothers looked at the military camp under them, and the only remaining two or three hundred Taoist heroes were still frolicking, fighting, and some were secretly drinking, as noisy as usual. Seeing this Daozi army, outsiders will only think that this is a team with loose military discipline, and I am afraid that they are all soldiers who regard death as home!
There are still seven days left, and the deadline set by the Dao Court will be reached. At that time, if there are no troops, Jiang Chen, the commander of the Daozi Army, will be dealt with by the Dao Court with military law, and it will be difficult to escape death.
It is better to simply rush out, kill demons and destroy the enemy, and die on the frontier! Therefore, they have already decided that as soon as the deadline is up, they will immediately send troops!
"Brother, if I die under the claws of the demon beast first, you don't have to accompany me to die, if you can kill it, try to kill it, so as to keep a bloodline for our Jiang family. ”
"Brother, you are the same. Don't forget, Sister Junzhu is still looking forward to your return. ”
......
There were still five days left before the deadline, and Jiang Chen gathered all the Daozi military and Taoist heroes. He counted three hundred and thirty-eight people, including the two brothers. At the least, there were only more than 200 people in the Daozi army, but later there were some Taoist heroes who were "scolded away" by Jiang Chen and returned, and the "dead" was in the Daozi army, so now there are more than 300 people.
Jiang Chen counted the heads while silently reciting the names of each sergeant, he had an excellent memory, and he could call out the names of the more than three hundred sergeants one by one.
"Bring the iron box out!" Jiang Chen commanded, then pointed to the iron box and said, "It's still the same as last time, throw the suicide note into the iron box." The iron box was left in the Valley of the Descending Dragon, and whoever could come back alive would open the iron box and fulfill the will of the other sergeants. ”
Jiang Chen said again: "This time is different from the last time, if you enter the Gubei Wasteland again, the chance of returning safely is very slim! It's still too late to retreat now, anyway, you have all been expelled from the army, so you don't have to accompany Ben Shuai to death!"
None of the more than 300 Taoist heroes left, and those who wanted to leave had already left.
All the sergeants followed Jiang Chen's instructions and threw the suicide note into the iron box, and while they were in progress, suddenly the mortal sergeants guarding the Dragon Valley came to report: A large group of people and horses were coming from the east to the Dragon Valley.
"East?" Jiang Chen was suddenly very puzzled, there was only one road from the east to the Descending Dragon Valley, that is, from Xiliang County, which was their big rear. To be able to swagger from this road to the Descending Dragon Valley is definitely not inferior.
Jiang Chen asked, "Is it the reinforcements sent by the military camp to guard here? Why didn't the commander receive the military order?"
The sergeant shook his head: "It's not the army that came, but a team of chariots and horses, and there seem to be a lot of Taoist heroes." ”
"Could it be that those Dao Heroes who were scolded by the boss have rushed back again?" All the Dao Heroes were puzzled, and the team of men and horses gradually approached the Dragon Descending Valley.
Jiang Chen led the sergeants to greet him in the early stage, and the pair of men and horses also stopped in front of the military village, and an old man with a white beard walked out of a carriage, seemingly the person who was the leader.
Jiang Chen didn't recognize this old man, but Wang Mazi recognized it at a glance, and he was immediately surprised and delighted, and shouted loudly: "Master, why is your old man here?"
"Master?" Jiang Chen's heart sank, he had heard before that Wang Mazi's master was called Cangxia Daoren, and the Jianghu Scattered Cultivation gave him a nickname, called "The First Knife in the Southwest"! He cultivated with a knife, and his sword technique was superb, and he was not even under many Taoist masters! Wang Mazi only met him by chance, and practiced the sword technique under him for three days, and as a result, he also made some fame in the casual cultivation.
"Your Excellency is Cangxia's senior?" Jiang Chen hurriedly saluted respectfully, in front of such a famous predecessor in the rivers and lakes, he didn't dare to hold it up.
Cangxia Daoren laughed like a bell: "Haha, this is Coach Jiang." The coach doesn't have to be polite!"
"Master, why are you here?" asked Wang Mazi in surprise.
Cangxia Daoist smiled slightly: "You can come, but you can't come as a teacher? This Daozi Army, but recruiting Jianghu scattered cultivators to gather as an army, and being a teacher is also a loose cultivator, why can't you come to join the army? Moreover, the teacher not only came by himself, but also brought more than 300 disciples and grandchildren to join the Daozi Army together!
"Seniors want to lead people to participate in the Daozi Army?" Jiang Chen was surprised. The sergeants were also stunned, and Wang Mazi was so frightened that he couldn't say anything: "This, this, why is this?"
In the name of Cangxia Daoist, even if he was personally recruited by the Seven Young Masters and other prominent figures in the Dao Court, he would never succumb to his command. At the beginning, Lan Jiusi recruited the Dao Word Army, and he didn't think that he could summon such a famous cultivator, so he could only summon some unknown people like Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu. But now, this Cangxia Daoist not only took the initiative to participate in the Daozi Army, but even brought more than 300 disciples and grandchildren, which is really incredible!
"Why do you say?" Cangxia Daoist asked Wang Mazi rhetorically: "I heard that you have been expelled from the army by the commander, why are you still in the Daozi army?"
Wang Mazi said: "The boss is kind to save the disciples, and the heavy responsibilities are righteous, and the disciples stay, one is to repay the kindness, and the other is the morality of the rivers and lakes!"
"What a morality in the rivers and lakes!" Cangxia Daoist nodded again and again, and praised: "That's right, I didn't disgrace the teacher! The Daoist Court recruited the Daoist army this time, just to use the hands of our Jianghu Scattered Cultivators to fight against foreign enemies, and even take the opportunity to weaken the power of our Jianghu Scattered Cultivators. This matter was originally the result of mutual jealousy and resentment between the Dao Court Cultivator and the Jianghu Scattered Cultivator for many years, and it was difficult for anyone to resolve it!"
He not only served as the commander and brought the Daozi army back from the dangerous frontier, but also drove all the soldiers away in order to save the Jianghu Dao heroes as much as possible, intending to kill the enemy alone and resolve the deadlock of the Jianghu Dao Heroes with his own strength. This is exactly the so-called morality! The old man is also a casual cultivator, but for many years he has been deeply respected by scattered cultivators, and in such a situation, how can the old man stay out of the matter, not even as a young man!"
"How did the seniors know so clearly about the Daozi Army?" Jiang Chen asked.
Cangxia Daoist laughed and said: "Boss Jiang doesn't know yet, those Daoist soldiers and Taoists who were driven away by you, but this matter is publicized everywhere, and all the rivers and lakes are scattered, all the world, the south and the north, are all talking about it! Now your Boss Jiang's reputation in the rivers and lakes is beyond the reach of even the old man!"
