Chapter 752

Along the way, there were constantly people who greeted Qin Kui respectfully, but Qin Kui didn't pay attention to these people at all.

In his opinion, he is the housekeeper of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and he is not at the same level as these people.

Xiao Zhan asked with some curiosity:

"Does Steward Qin have any children?"

Steward Qin shook his head expressionlessly, "No."

With that, Qin Kui took Xiao Zhan to the outside of a stone house.

From the outside, it can be seen that the Marquis of Zhenyuan is in the stone house, talking to an old man in rags.

Qin Kui didn't dare to disturb, and took Xiao Zhan to wait at the door of the stone house.

After a while, a pair of young men and women, who were also wearing tattered clothes, walked outside the stone house and hurriedly saluted Qin Kui:

"I've seen Steward Qin."

Qin Kui smiled and nodded, "Master Hou is talking to your father inside, let's go in later."

The young man and woman nodded and waited patiently.

After a while, the Marquis of Zhenyuan looked at the door, glanced at Xiao Zhan and said:

"You come in."

Xiao Zhan did not hesitate and walked in.

The light in the stone house was even darker, and Xiao Zhan could only vaguely see that the old man sitting cross-legged on the ground was as thin as firewood, with a broken arm, a long leg, a short leg, and one eye blind.

Marquis Zhenyuan spoke:

"His name is Shi Kai, and he is my former right-hand man."

"Then she was injured and gave birth to a daughter."

As he spoke, Marquis Zhenyuan pointed to the young woman standing outside the door, "That's Shi Kai's daughter, her name is Shi Cui'e, or the name I gave her."

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, and he didn't know what the Marquis of Zhenyuan meant by saying this to himself.

"It's a pity, Shi Cui'e can't cultivate, she can only become an outcast."

Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, still not saying anything.

Marquis Zhenyuan chuckled, "Don't you ask, why didn't I let their family stay in Marquis Zhenyuan's Mansion?"

Xiao Zhan slowly shook his head and said:

"There are one and there are two, generation after generation, no matter how big the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is, it can't accommodate it."

Marquis Zhenyuan nodded, looked at the old man and said:

"Shi Kai, I saw you this time, and I won't come to see you."

Shi Kai hurriedly got up and knelt on one knee tremblingly in front of the Marquis of Zhenyuan:

"It is my blessing to be able to follow Master Hou in this life."

"Master Hou can come to see me, I have no regrets in my heart."

Outside the door, Shi Cui'e and her husband also knelt on the ground.

Marquis Zhenyuan nodded, walked out of the stone house with Xiao Zhan, and walked forward slowly.

Qin Kui followed behind, looking at Xiao Zhan with jealousy in his eyes.

The people on both sides of the market, when they saw the Marquis of Zhenyuan passing by, all knelt on the ground one after another, looking particularly respectful.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan said as if no one was around:

"When I chose the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion near here, there were thousands of miles in a radius and no one, and I also wanted to be quiet."

"Later, there were more and more people in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and more and more offspring were born, and those descendants became displaced people and scattered around the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, becoming what they are today."

Listening to the meaning of this, this Marquis of Zhenyuan has lived for a long, long time.

Xiao Zhan didn't think that the Marquis of Zhenyuan would have the heart to talk to him, he knew that the Marquis of Zhenyuan must have something else to say.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, the Marquis of Zhenyuan suddenly stood by the small river that was only two or three meters wide.

The black and viscous asphalt-like water in the creek was bubbling and emitting a pungent stench.

Marquis Zhenyuan looked at Xiao Zhan and said:

"I'm going to form a government army, the number is about 10,000, and I've already been notified to the White Bone City, and when the people send it over, you will be responsible for taking care of it for me."

"Choose a place around here to build a military camp, and you will train on weekdays

things."

Xiao Zhan suddenly frowned.

"Master Hou trusts me so much?"

"Now you're not qualified to let me trust," Zhenyuan Hou was expressionless, "In front of me, what else can you do that can't be done?"

"You can do things yourself, you are not allowed to leave the range of thousands of miles from the Hou Mansion, you can come to the Hou Mansion to find me when you have time."

Seeing that Xiao Zhan didn't speak, Zhenyuan Hou sneered, "Whether you can get more Nether Pill depends on your performance."

After speaking, the Marquis of Zhenyuan turned around and walked in the direction of the Hou Mansion.

Qin Kui smiled and said hello to Xiao Zhan, and then left with the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Xiao Zhan stood by the creek and fell into deep thought.

He was now confused and completely confused.

However, with his current strength, he is indeed not qualified to refuse.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhan returned to Shi Kai's house and said in a deep voice:

"Old Man Shi, is it convenient for me to come in?"

Shi Kaizheng was sitting weakly against the wall, and Shi Cui'e and her husband were processing a few gray herbs that had been picked back.

Hearing Xiao Zhan speak, Shi Cui'e hurriedly got up and said:

"Your Excellency, please come in."

Xiao Zhan nodded, walked into the stone house, and sat down in front of Shi Kai.

Shi Kai smiled and said:

"It can be seen that Master Hou still takes you very seriously."

Xiao Zhan chuckled, he didn't think that the Marquis of Zhenyuan was very important to him.

"Master Hou asked for 10,000 people from White Bone City, saying that he wanted to form a government army, and let me be fully responsible."

"Do you have any good advice from Old Man Shi?"

When Shi Kai heard this, his old face suddenly became solemn.

"Then it should be another big competition for the government army."

Xiao Zhan frowned and asked:

"What is the Great Tournament of the Military?"

Shi Kai said with a smile:

"I don't know the specifics, but I know that in our area, there are a total of 100 Hou Masters on the surface."

"But there are still many strong people who also have the strength of a feudal marquis, but there are no places."

"Every time in a long time, all the Hou Mansion will send 10,000 government troops to participate in the competition."

"Those adults who don't have official titles will also let their government troops participate in the competition."

"Only by entering the top 100 can you keep the throne or be officially crowned."

Xiao Zhan grasped the point in this sentence and immediately asked:

"Who sets the rules, and who will make the marquis?"

Shi Kai shook his head, "Of course, it is the marquis from the palace."

"I have participated in three government army competitions with Hou Ye, and they all won easily."

Xiao Zhan nodded, and asked again, "What about the people who participated in the Fu Army Contest with you, old man?"

Shi Kai shook his head, "The government army is very big, and the casualties are very serious."

"Those who survived are slowly dying."

"Having said that, this time the government army competition has indeed been delayed for too long."

"It is estimated that there are not many strong people born, and no one is competing for the throne."

Xiao Zhan fell into deep thought, and only after a long time did he continue to ask:

"Since it is a battle for the throne, why doesn't the Hou Ye personally participate in the battle? It's to let the weak government army go to war?"

Shi Kai shook his head and laughed:

"Everyone who can compete for the throne is a rare master, and it takes a long time to grow to the point where he can be a marquis."

"If the Hou Masters do it themselves, whoever is injured and who dies will be a great loss."

Xiao Zhan said "um", hugged his fist at Shi Kai, and after thanking him, he left the stone house directly.

He wandered aimlessly, preparing to choose a place to build the barracks.

Anyway, the 10,000 government troops are all going to participate in the competition, and the requirements of the military camp are not high, just be quiet.

The main thing is how to be able to be in

Win the competition of the government army, keep the top 100 ranking, and keep the position of the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Xiao Zhan had no doubt that if he lost the position of Marquis Zhenyuan, Marquis Zhenyuan would definitely kill him mercilessly.

At the same time, Xiao Zhan was also thinking that the Marquis of Zhenyuan was only now starting to establish a new government army, but he was afraid that it would be too late, and he felt like he was sharpening his guns.

Maybe the other Hou Ye's government army are all masters, but only the government army of the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion is a newcomer who has just been sent from the white bone not long ago.

How can this be compared?

As it stands, there's no chance of winning.

But why isn't the Marquis of Zhenyuan in a hurry at all? Looking like you're nine out of ten?

The more Xiao Zhan thought about it, the more wrong it became.

However, the Marquis of Zhenyuan dared to hand over this matter to him, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan was not afraid, what did he have to fear.

After walking around for a long time, Xiao Zhan found that the netherworld power outside was not as strong as that in the Hou Mansion, so he walked in the direction of the Hou Mansion.

After returning to the Hou Mansion, Xiao Zhan didn't think about anything and began to seize the time to improve his strength.

He is alone now, and his memory has not recovered much, only by improving his strength can he feel safe.

There is no day or night here.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan didn't know how long it had passed.

Qin Kui suddenly came to the small courtyard behind him and said to Xiao Zhan, who was still practicing in the No. 9 stone house:

"Someone from Bone City has been sent here, you can go and receive it."
