Chapter Fifty-Nine: Giving Orders in Danger (I)

After Jiang Chen calmed himself down as much as possible, he asked, "All the Dao cultivators of the Sword Worship Temple are gone?"

Jiang Wu replied: "The three main generals and deputy generals, the more than 200 Sword Worship Dao Masters and Daoists of the Guards Battalion, and the chief and deputy commanders of other battalions have almost all disappeared without a trace. There were more than 200 people before and after worshipping the sword, and now only seven or eight people are still in the army. The Dao Heroes are surrounding these people in front of the boss's tent, forcing them to ask what happened!"

"Let's go check it out too!" Jiang Chen said. He, Jiang Wu, Jun Zhu, Chen Ying and others also rushed to the boss's tent.

This place was already full of Taoist heroes, Jiang Chen and the others finally squeezed into the crowd, and sure enough, they saw seven or eight Taoist disciples wearing white-clothed Taoist robes who worshiped the sword and temple, and they were surrounded by everyone, constantly asking questions.

"More than 200 sword worshipping Taoist cultivators in the pro-guard camp said that they were going to explore the demon beast's lair, but there was no trace at all; even the three main generals and a number of deputy commanders of each battalion disappeared without a trace overnight, and a few of you are also sword worship Taoist disciples, don't you know at all?"

"It's strange that they know!" an old Taoist said coldly, "Can't you see it? The few sword-worshipping Daoists left behind are all the worst cultivators, and they are obviously outcasts. This trick is called abandoning the pawn to protect the handsome!"

Jiang Chen's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately followed the prestige and recognized that the old man who spoke was the old monster Chen who was known as the "Iron Palm". This old man Chen has a strange temper, but the cultivation of metallic Daomen exercises is extraordinary, especially a pair of iron palms, the cultivation is almost invulnerable, and he can grab the blade empty-handed, and he is quite famous in the scattered cultivation of the rivers and lakes.

"There is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the scattered cultivation of the rivers and lakes, this iron-clad old monster Chen is an understanding person, and he can see through the mystery at a glance. Jiang Chen said secretly in his heart.

"This battle can't be fought yet!" Many Taoist heroes complained: "The main general and deputy general are gone, but let us stay in the military village, I think it is better to disband on the spot and go back!"

The Daozi Army was originally not able to talk about strict military discipline, and at this time, the dragons were leaderless, and the few remaining Daoists who were not high in cultivation and young were unable to suppress these scattered cultivators, so the Daozi Army became a mess, which was also expected by Jiang Chen.

Several sword-worshipping Taoist disciples looked frightened, and the surrounding Daoists were angry, if they didn't still care that a few of them were people in the Dao court, they were afraid that they would have been divided into corpses by the sword!

One of the Sword Worship Daoists was Chi Yuan, and after he saw Jiang Chen, he hurriedly took out an envelope from his arms and shouted loudly: "Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen, the master has a letter for you!"

"Senior Ziqing left me a letter?" Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter, but the old monster of the Iron Palm Chen took the lead and snatched the letter from Chi Yuan's hand.

"What a letter, take a look!" said the surrounding Dao Heroes one after another.

Many Taoist heroes looked at Jiang Chen with puzzled eyes: "What does this kid have to do with Sword Worship, he actually left a letter for him!"

The iron-clapped old monster Chen opened the envelope and took out a token, which was the order of the chief general that symbolized the supreme authority of the Daozi Army! There was also a letter in the envelope, and the old monster Chen unfolded it and read it aloud:

"Poor Dao Ziqing, appoint the eighth battalion Dao Xiu Jiang Chen as the general staff of the Daozi Army, confer the rank of deputy general, and replace Poor Dao to take charge of the military order from now on, and command the whole army!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked! Even Jiang Chen himself was startled and dumbfounded.

"Really, fake, let such a hairy boy lead the whole army?! It's just nonsense!" Immediately, some Daoxia questioned loudly, and many people echoed it.

"There is another line of small characters!" Chen Lao Wei read again: "Jiang Xiaoyou, you should know that Lao Dao's move is really helpless, and he can't help himself! Now the fate of the Dao Zi Army is in your hands, whether it is life or death, it depends on your creation!"

After reading the letter, Old Monster Chen glanced Jiang Chen up and down again, then smiled meaningfully, and handed over the letter and military order to Jiang Chen: "Give orders in danger! The burden on Brother Jiang's body is not light!"

Jiang Chen was stunned by the military orders and letters, and his mood was very complicated. He didn't know why the Ziqing Daoist gave him the military order and the Daozi army, whether he was just finding someone to take over the military order, or did he really think that Jiang Chen had the talent to lead the army?

Moreover, why did the Ziqing Daoist tell Jiang Chen the mystery behind it in advance? Could it be that he abandoned the Daoist Army and couldn't bear it, leaving them a glimmer of life? Could it be that such an old and spicy Taoist figure also had a little contradiction in his heart?

"He probably just doesn't want to do things too much! This kind of old rivers and lakes have room to do things. Jiang Chen said secretly in his heart. Although the Ziqing Dao people took away the elite of the Sword Worship Temple, they left a military order, and the military salaries, military rations and other military resources were not taken away, and the dozen or so huge Xuantie bows were also left in the Daozi Army, leaving the Daozi Army to fend for itself.

As the Ziqing Daoist said, what the fate of the Dao Character Army is now depends on their own creation!

Old Monster Chen bowed to Jiang Chen and said, "Lord Adjutant General, I don't know what to do next?"

"Nonsense!" A middle-aged Daoist was extremely dissatisfied and shouted: "Could it be that I wait for the lives of thousands of Dao Heroes and hand them over to this stinky boy?

"It's really a bit inappropriate! On Taoism, this kid's cultivation is shallow, in terms of knowledge, he is so young, how much knowledge can he have!" Many Taoist heroes echoed.

"I really don't have the qualifications to do it!" Jiang Chen said loudly: "Fellow Daoists, if anyone thinks that they are qualified to accept military orders and command the whole army, please stand up! As long as they are recognized by the majority of Daoists, they will immediately hand over the military orders and transfer them to military ranks!"

There was silence for a moment. However, the Daozi Army was originally composed of a group of scattered cultivators from all over the world.

After a while, a lean middle-aged man in his forties suddenly said, "Let me come!"

Before he stepped forward to ask Jiang Chen to take the military order, a curse broke out in the crowd: "Wang Mazi, you are also worthy! Your Taoism is not enough to carry shoes for Lao Tzu, and you dare to grab the military order!"

The middle-aged man was furious: "Why am I not qualified, I can't do it, can you!"

The two immediately quarreled, almost facing each other.

The Iron Palm Chen Old Monster smiled and persuaded: "If you continue to make trouble like this, you don't need to wait for the demon tide to attack, our Daozi Army will fight for the military order by itself, and more than half of them will be killed or injured!"

Everyone understands this truth, but those who intend to fight for military orders will not be willing to accept the orders of a naïve young man like Jiang Chen, and suddenly around the ownership of military orders, the fierce quarrels of all Daoists have become more scattered, and there is still a shadow of the army.

On the contrary, the more than 100 mortal sergeants who were originally stationed in the Descending Dragon Valley and later went out with the Daozi Army still stuck to their respective posts at this time, although they were also very panicked and wanted to know what happened, but they still abided by military discipline and patrolled around the military village.
