The morning sun is born, and the blue sky is like a wash.

Zhang Chugao sat in the lobby of the helmsman of the Quadruple Gang.

One by one, wearing armor and carrying swords, dressed as military generals, they walked into the lobby one after another and saluted him.

Jiao Shan, the guard of the east gate of the former city guards, and Cheng Zhang, the guard of the west city, walked into the lobby side by side, and saw that there were already four people dressed as military generals sitting in the hall, all of whom were eight grades.

These people, they have all seen them, they are all thousands of households of the Xiang army and the people.

The second will walk into the hall and wave his hands.

"The last general Jiaoshan!"

"The last general Cheng Zhang!"

"Meet the General!"

Zhang Chu helped him through the void: "Get up!"

"Whoa!"

The second general got up and stood respectfully under the hall.

If at the beginning, the two of them respected Zhang Chu, they respected his identity as a county soldier Cao, and Shi An was supporting him.

Then, after this tragic battle to defend the city, the two of them respected Zhang Chu, what he respected was his ability to command ten thousand troops, his courage to rob the camp with hundreds of horses, and his strength to jump over the wall to chase and kill the six-rank white wolf lord!

Now the two of them are not loyal to Zhang Chu and swear to follow him, but as long as Zhang Chu is still their superior for one day, they will never have two hearts, and they will never play any tricks behind his back.

It's not that it can't!

Don't dare!

Zhang Chu's gaze swept over the two of them and asked, "The Thousand Households of the Southern City Gate and the Thousand Households of the North City Gate are Dugufang, why haven't they arrived?"

Jiao Shan hugged his fists and said: "Thousands of households have been killed in the south before the Zhenbei army entered the city, as for why Dugu Qianhu has not arrived, the last general does not know." ”

Zhang Chu frowned, since the Zhenbei Army entered the city, he had never interfered in the affairs of the city guards, and he really didn't know that the guards of the southern city gate had died in battle.

"Take a seat, let's talk about it after the Thousand Households Dugu Fang of the North City Gate Prison Gate comes!"

"Whoa!"

After the second general finished the salute, he found two vacant seats under the hall and sat down, and his own Xuanwu cousin entered and brought hot tea to the second general.

Zhang Chu sat above and glanced at the six generals under the hall.

Of the six generals, only Jiao Shan and Cheng Zhang were originally the thousand households of the city guards.

The other four people were all people from the Bapin Jianghu who he temporarily "invited" when he formed the Xiang Army and the Minfu team.

He originally thought that after the siege of the Northern Barbarian army, these people in the Eight Rank Rivers and Lakes would definitely quietly hang up their seals and leave.

After all, the siege of Alla's Mansion has been lifted, and these people are not deserters when they leave now, and they can even be said not to bend their waists for five buckets of rice.

He visited Nie Benhou yesterday, and deliberately did not summon them immediately, just to give these people a chance to sneak away.

I never thought that he had ordered the chief helmsman of the Eight Thousands of Households and Four Gang of Thousands of Households to discuss the deliberations of the various ministries today, and these four people would come faster than Jiao Shan and Cheng Zhang!

It seems that the system is indeed magical......

A cup of tea.

Dressed in a green robe like a blue lotus, the chic and neat Dugu Fang is late.

Zhang Chu saw him dressed from afar, and his heart was inexplicably a little happy.

What is the joy.

He himself doesn't know too well.

Perhaps, among the people in the rivers and lakes under his circle, there is finally a magic that resists the system......

Although in this way, he will have one less seven-rank general under him.

But he didn't care.

The world is bustling, all for profit.

The world is crowded, all for profit.

It's human nature.

But if all the people in this world are like this, then ...... How boring!

......

Dugu Fang walked to the hall with fluttering sleeves, waved his hands and said: "Grass people Dugu Fang, meet the general!"

"Excuse me!"

Zhang Chu deliberately pretended not to understand his self-title, and said lightly: "Take a seat, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Dugu in the hall showed shame and shook it to the end again, "The general's blue eyes are added, and the grass people are very ashamed, but the grass people are here to bid farewell to the general." ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Chu pretended to be strange and asked: "But where did Ben Jiang treat Dugu Qianhu lightly, and Dugu Qianhu decided to abandon Ben Jiang?"

When Dugu Fang heard this, he hurriedly replied: "The general did not treat the grass people lightly, but the grass people did not defend the city effectively, which affected the general's siblings, and he was ashamed of the trust of the general." ”

"It's all in the past. ”

Zhang Chu said lightly: "If Dugu Qianhu wants to resign for this matter, it is not necessary, Ben Jiang is not so narrow-minded." ”

"Please understand, General!"

Dugu Fang waved his hand and said: "Before the invasion of the Northern Barbarian thieves, this responsibility of defending the land and protecting the family, I Qingxiamen did not dare to resign, and the grass people did not dare to resign, and there was no complaint or regret even if I died!"

"However, the northern army of Zhenzhen has been stationed in Jintianfu, the difficulty of the siege of the northern barbarian thieves has been solved, the grass people live in the rivers and lakes, and the life only wishes to idle clouds and wild cranes, free mountains and forests, and the official position is right in the grass people, just like the fence in the chickens and ducks, and the bamboo cage in the birds, and also ask the general, let the grass people and the division leave the Jintian Mansion and return to the rivers and lakes, if he dares to invade the Jintian Mansion again, he does not need to be called by the general, the grass people should ride horses and carry swords to throw, and then retreat from the enemy side by side with the general!"

The words are conclusive and sincere.

When the four eight-rank generals heard this, they couldn't help but look ashamed, and felt that they had failed the original intention of the Jianghu children.

Zhang Chu exhaled slowly, and nodded slightly in Dugufang's expectant gaze.

"Brother Dugu has made up his mind, and he will not be forced to stay!"

"Brother Dugu and the commander of your faction are both heroes who have thrown their heads and spilled their blood for the 100,000 people of Jintian Mansion!"

"Ben will not have the right to represent the people of AllHeaven, a city full of people, to thank Brother Dugu and your faction for their contribution to AllHeaven, but Ben will be able to give Brother Dugu and your faction a promise. ”

"Ben will owe Brother Dugu a favor to your faction. ”

"Since then, the rivers and lakes are far away, if Brother Dugu and your faction have a place to get the general, even if a letter comes, they will do their best and never refuse!"

When Dugu Fang heard this, his face couldn't help but show joy.

"The grass people worship General Gao Yi, and wish the general a long and prosperous military luck...... The grass people will no longer disturb the general and your deliberations, and will bow down!"

He once again faced Zhang Chu and shook it to the end.

Zhang Chu got up and hugged his fists and said: "Then I wish Brother Dugu and your faction a smooth journey, he will see him in the rivers and lakes in the future, and he will ask Brother Dugu for another glass of wine!"

Dugu Fang also hugged his fists: "If he can say goodbye to the general, he will definitely drink and talk happily, and he will not return if he is not drunk!"

"Brother Dugu walks slowly!"

"The general stays!"

Dugu Fang turned around, walked out of the lobby, plunged into the bright spring light, and never looked back.

Zhang Chu watched him go away, and the envy in his heart could not be contained.

After a long time, he retracted his gaze and looked around the four Jianghu children in the hall: "Can you be like Brother Dugu, be an idle cloud and wild crane, and enjoy the mountains and forests?"

No one answered.

They themselves are reluctant to hold official positions and power, and it is impossible for Zhang Chu to force them.

"That's good, this general has received the order of the official, from now on, the remnants of the city guard army, the remnants of the Xiang army, and the remnants of the people will contract 3,000 people and horses, and they will be combined into an army, and they will be transferred to the front army of the Zhenbei Army with this general to serve the country!"

"Ben wants to take 3,000 people and horses to form 3,000 households!"

"Jiao Shan! Cheng Zhang!"

Jiao Shan and Cheng Zhang stood up violently, clasped their fists together and said, "The last general!"

"Jiao Shan is the deputy general of the seventh grade, Cheng Zhang is from the seventh grade of thousands of households, and the two of you will reorganize the remnants of the city guard, each leading 500 officers and soldiers, with Jiao Shan as the main general. ”

"The last general will obey the order!"

"Niu Wu, Kou Xuan!"

Two more figures stood up and shouted in unison, "The last will be!"

"Niu Wu is the deputy general of the seventh grade, Cheng Zhang is from the seventh grade of thousands of households, the two of you are reorganized into the remnants of the box army, each leading 500 officers and soldiers, with Niu Wu as the main general. ”

"The last general will obey the order!"

"Dai Ying, Guo Ye!"

"The last general!"

"Dai Ying is the deputy general of the seventh grade, Guo Ye is from the seventh grade of thousands of households, the two of you rectify the remnants of the people, each lead five hundred officers and soldiers, with Dai Ying as the main general!"

"The last general will obey the order!"

"The source of troops in each department, adjust it by itself, and at the end of tomorrow, neatly lead the team to the North Army camp in the town outside the North City Gate to assemble, and the whole army will be awarded the flag by the young marshal!"

"Whoa!"

......

In the early morning of the next day, after a series of complicated ceremonies, Zhang Chu received a military flag painted with a blood-colored tiger from the hands of the champion Hou Shizi.

Blood Tiger Battalion.

This is the name of Zhang Chu's army.

Zhang Chu was powerless to complain about the bad taste of the champion Hou Shizi.

It is said that life is like ****, you can't resist, you can only accept it...... What do you call it?

Zhang Chu brought the Blood Tiger Battalion into the front army camp and entrusted it to Ji Ba for training and drills, and then began to train with all his might.

In the past, he always had a lot of things to take care of, and he always had a lot of scruples.

By now, I can finally let go of my hands and feet and practice without any scruples.

And the effect of Jiaogu Dan is indeed as magical as Ji Ba said.

Coupled with Jiaogu Dan, Zhang Chu's eight-pin marrow practice already has a quadruple plug-in.

The first plug-in: the golden finger of the rice bucket flow.

This provided him with an almost endless supply of blood qi, allowing him to maintain the strength of refining five bones at the same time for about ten hours a day.

Eight-rank martial artists who do not have any secret methods and treasure pills to accelerate the cultivation of the marrow, their blood and qi are not good, and the second training of the marrow takes ten days to quench an average of one bone.

Five yuan, that is, a month and a half!

And Zhang Chu, each round of training five pieces, maintains ten hours of training strength every day, and can be quenched in five days, that is, one piece a day.

With this weight alone, Zhang Chu's speed of practicing the marrow is ten times that of other eight-rank martial artists!

Of course, if it weren't for the four jars of medicinal wine left by the little old man to restore his blood and qi, Zhang Chu's cost of practicing the marrow would be ten times that of other second-time marrow cultivation eight-rank martial artists!

The second plug-in: the four jars of medicinal wine left by Liang Chongxiao.

The four jars of medicinal wine themselves were used by the little old man to kill the cold qi in the marrow.

The little old man himself is a four-grade tycoon, and the cold qi that can torture him can be guessed without thinking about it, it must be an extremely powerful thing.

And the fire qi in this medicinal wine can actually dissipate this cold qi, judging from the energy level alone, this is definitely a high-level energy that is several levels higher than the blood qi of the lower three grades.

Zhang Chu used the golden finger of the rice bucket to forcibly digest the fire in the medicinal wine bit by bit, and integrated it into his own blood qi, bringing all-round improvement.

Including killing.

It's also about being strong!

Zhang Chu originally took an average of five days to refine five bones, but since there was more of this fire qi in his blood, his speed was directly doubled, and it was directly reduced to two and a half days!

The third plug-in: Qingxiamen's secret method of practicing the marrow "According to the Bone Sutra".

This secret method is a way to use dark energy.

Control a wisp of dark energy, in the form of high-frequency impact, constantly hit the bones, leaving enough cracks in the bones, so that the blood qi can penetrate into the bones more efficiently and quickly, and quench the bones and bone marrow.

This plug-in is the worst effect among all Zhang Chu's marrow training plug-ins, but fortunately, the effect does not conflict with other plug-ins, and his average marrow training time is shortened from two and a half days to two days.

The fourth plug-in: Jiaogu Dan!

According to Zhang Chu's understanding, Jiaogu Dan, to be precise, should be the bones of the giant python beast described by Ji Ba, which has the super effect of strengthening bones and accelerating the healing of bone injuries.

This effect is actually not difficult to understand, and it is the same as deer antler velvet to replenish blood and tiger whip to strengthen yang.

The source of this material, after all, is a strange beast with a head as big as a dining table, and it is understandable that the effect is a little stronger.

According to Ji Ba's own words, when he practiced the marrow for the second time in the eighth grade, it took ten days to quench a bone without taking Jiao Gu Dan, and it only took three days to quench a bone with drugs.

That's a direct two-thirds reduction in time!

Zhang Chu took one and tried it, and found that the bones that originally took two days to quench were shortened to about ten hours.

This speed increase is not as big as Ji Ba's.

But this time, in itself, is a limit time that he has obtained after the triple plug-in acceleration, and has once again compressed most of the time, in a sense, the Jiaogu Pill's help effect on practicing the marrow is greater than the four jars of medicinal wine left by the little old man.

It's not that the level of Jiao Gu is higher than the level of fire in the four jars of medicinal wine.

Rather, the effect of Jiaogu is to assist in marrow training.

And the auxiliary training of the marrow is only one of the many effects of that fire, and it is normal that the professional is not right, and the effect is not as good as that of Jiaogu.

......

At this point, Zhang Chu embarked on the highway of marrow training by swallowing one Jiaogu Pill a day and refining five bones in one day.

If the Northern Barbarian hadn't been in such a hurry, by mid-March, he would have been able to finish his second training and start his third practice!

After coming up with this precise time, even Zhang Chu himself was a little shocked.

It turned out that unconsciously, he had collected so many marrow training plug-ins......

People are really forced out.

It took him nearly ten months to practice the marrow at one time.

The second training is more difficult and slower than the first training, but he can complete the second training in one-third of the time.

Sure enough, the harder you work, the luckier you get.
