Chapter 105: On Meritorious Deeds (2)

"100,000 Dao troops!

In a grand and solemn hall, a middle-aged man was furious. The second young master and the seventh young master of the Chengtian Sect in front of him did not dare to respond.

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and said, "This matter is to be reported to my brother and let him deal with it!"

"Fourth uncle, no!" the Seventh Young Master hurriedly said, "My father is in retreat and practicing, and his old man has long stopped asking about worldly things, so why bother his old man's cultivation because of this!"

The second young master also said: "My nephew has a plan to resolve this matter, and he doesn't have to disturb his father's cultivation!"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "It's rare that your brothers have the same attitude, Zixuan, tell me, what plan do you have?"

The second young master said: "The seventh brother advocates gathering the Taoist heroes of the rivers and lakes, organizing the Taoist army, defending the frontier, and quelling the demon tide, the original intention is also good, but there is no judgment of the situation, and 100,000 Taoist troops unexpectedly appeared. However, as long as the 100,000 Dao Army is rewarded for their merits and deeds, and the mission of the Dao Zi Army is completed, and then the rivers and lakes are ordered to disperse. In the final analysis, these rivers and lakes are still scattered into the five lakes and seas, so there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

"Hmph, how can it be so simple!" the middle-aged man sneered and said: "In terms of the number of cultivators, there are more than ten times more Dao Court monks in the rivers and lakes, but the world is controlled by the Dao Court, just because the scattered cultivators can't gather their own strength. This time, the assembly of the Dao character army has greatly increased the cohesion of these scattered cultivators, and the hidden danger is not small, it is not that it can be disbanded if it is disbanded!"

The Seventh Young Master said: "The scattered cultivation of the rivers and lakes is still fighting on their own, as long as they are given certain benefits, it is enough for them to go back to their homes and return to the rivers and lakes." ”

"What benefits are you going to use to buy them?" the middle-aged man said, "This time the Dao Character Army is presided over by my Chengtian Sect, and the other sects of the Dao Court are not willing to give too many materials to reward these Dao Character Troops!"

"You don't need too many supplies," the Seventh Young Master smiled slightly: "Just need some false names." ”

"False name?" The middle-aged man nodded thoughtfully: "Keep talking!"

The seventh young master said: "In ancient times, the emperor rewarded the princes from all walks of life, split the soil and sealed the territory, and made the princes kings. We can also follow suit, select ten people in the Daozi Army, and make them the masters of one party, presiding over a small place. This kind of temptation is enough to impress these Jianghu Taoists. As for the Dao Court, it is only ten small plots of land that are carved out, which is harmless at all. Moreover, my Chengtian Sect can win over and buy these Dao Masters, and in the future, these Ten Directions Dao Masters may become a subordinate force of my Chengtian Sect. ”

"As for the way to elect a Dao master, my nephew has already planned it. It is selected in the form of a fighting battle. There are a total of ten rounds of competition, and only one person can win each round and win a place as a 'Dao Master'. Except for the winning Dao Master, all other Dao Heroes can continue to participate in the next round of competition!"

"These Jianghu Dao Heroes, no one will really convince anyone, if they lose the fighting method, they will often hold a grudge for a lifetime! Ten rounds of fighting methods, the direct resentment of these Jianghu Dao Heroes is very deep. In this way, the cohesion of their assembled army will no longer exist, and the hidden dangers that the fourth uncle said will naturally be eliminated!"

The middle-aged man pondered for a while when he heard this, and then nodded slightly: "One Dao Master! Well, it is indeed a good gimmick, which is enough to make those Jianghu scattered cultivators fight for their heads." Okay, that's it! However, you have to keep a close eye on this matter, and if there is any other change in the Dao Character Army, immediately report it to the main hall, and no forces will be allowed to challenge the authority of the Dao Court!"

......

After Jiang Chen led the Daozi army to wait in the Dragon Valley, he finally ushered in the Ping Edict and cleared the charge of "traitorous general".

Subsequently, the Daoist Court issued another order, the Daozi army guarded the frontier, negotiated peace with Loulan, and rewarded meritorious deeds, in addition to doubling the salary of each sergeant, all sergeants above the lieutenant colonel of the Daozi Army can be allowed to join the major sects of the Daoist Court and become a member of the Daoist Court.

Most of the sergeants who can take the rank of captain or above are famous people, and if they had the heart to join the Taoist court, they would have joined the major sects long ago. Therefore, this reward is not very attractive.

Just when all the Daoists were talking about the rewards of the Dao Court being too shabby, the third military order of the Dao Court was also issued: order the Dao Zi Army to be disbanded, and at the same time select ten "Dao Masters".

Jiang Chen had already planned to disband the Daozi Army, and all the sergeants had already been mentally prepared, so the most eye-catching thing about this military order was the selection of the "Dao Master".

This "Taoist Lord" is really an extremely loud name, the Taoist is equivalent to the princes and kings of the Taoist court, in the area under the jurisdiction of the Taoist Lord, all things related to the Taoist are presided over by the Taoist Lord, and all mundane things are still taken care of by the imperial court.

In other words, every Dao Master is a small Dao Master!

For the rivers and lakes to cultivate casually, becoming a Taoist master is the master of local casual cultivation, which is a great symbol of reputation and status.

For a while, the whole army was talking about this "Taoist master", who didn't want to get the quota of this Taoist master. However, there are only ten places, and the way of selection is also based on the fighting method of real strength, except for those Dao Masters who are cultivators, other monks do not dare to be delusional at all.

Jiang Chen didn't think much about it, anyway, it wouldn't be his turn.

Jiang Chen handed over the handsome seal and military order, resigned as the commander of the Daozi Army, and just waited to watch the Daoist master's fighting competition with Jiang Wu, and then returned to Yunlan City.

Looking back on this journey to join the army, it can be said that he fell into a desperate situation several times, one would be a rebel, and the other would be a hero. The higher the position, the more they are coerced and used by various forces, and they really can't help themselves. Now that he is unofficial and light, he enjoys it very much.

The Seven Young Masters took dozens of Daoist masters of Chengtian Sect and personally presided over the "Dao Master" competition. Their work efficiency was much higher than that of supporting the front line, and on the third day of the military order, the first round of the competition officially began.

The competition is a knockout system in pairs of twos until the last person is decided and a place is won. Any sergeant of the Daozi Army can sign up to participate, so there are many people who participate in the competition, more than 300 people, divided into more than a dozen competition venues, and the competition is carried out at the same time.

Even if the other sergeants did not participate in the competition, they were all watching the battle from the sidelines, which was a rare opportunity to open their eyes and see the fighting methods between the two Taoist masters!

Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu came to a test table to watch the battle, although Jiang Chen had resigned as the coach, but the sergeants still respected him a lot, leaving him a best front row position to watch the battle.

Just watching, suddenly a sergeant rushed over and shouted: "Boss, the No. 3 competition platform said that you appeared on the competition, why don't you go?"

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "I didn't sign up!"

"Why not!" the sergeant said: "It's obviously your name, go quickly, all the Taoist heroes are waiting for you!

"Okay!" Jiang Chen sighed, he went through the motions, anyway, everyone in the Daozi army knew that he was low-minded, and he was not ashamed to lose. (To be continued.) )
