Chapter 144: The Two Great Families of Qingzhou! Award people according to their contributions!
"Lao Zhang, you're not joking with me, are you?"
"You have taught dozens of disciples in Qingzhou, and who can compare with you when you were young? It's just some straw bales. ”
Wei Anguo blew his beard and glared, looking incredulous.
After all.
A mere wilderness hunter, only a sergeant, with only this level of qi, blood, and spiritual power, he successfully killed the fierce beast Pig Po Long, who had been cultivating for hundreds of years.
Throughout the past decades of Qingzhou's history, only four people have succeeded in doing such a feat.
Qingzhou's actual commander Hong Wu,
Zhang Longxiang, the eldest grandson of the head of the Zhang family,
King of Zhenbei, abolished martial saint, general Wei Xuan,
and Zhang Baisui, who once crisscrossed Kyushu and fought five Qingzhou generals alone.
These four, no matter which one they are, are all top martial arts powerhouses who have the qualifications of a martial arts marquis, or have been successfully promoted to a martial marquis.
Wei Anguo squinted, gradually calmed down, and said in a deep voice:
"What do you think ......?"
"Jiang Chen also has the same qualifications as you?"
Zhang Baisui did not comment on this and did not answer rhetorical questions:
"You ...... Relying on his own martial arts, how long did it take to sublimate a certain martial art into a legion martial art? ”
"Uh-"
Wei Anguo pondered for a long time before slowly replying:
"Five years."
A hint of ridicule flashed at the corner of Zhang Baisui's mouth:
"When he officially obtained the rank of a hundred generals, the old man saw that this kid had some potential, so he casually gave him a copy of the inferior martial arts, called "The Fierce Knife Method".
Wei Anguo was stunned for a moment, then Tong Kong shook, his eyelids jumped, and his rugged face showed a little shock: "It's not even two months?"
He had long known that Jiang Chen's progress was rapid, and in just two months, he had risen from the civilian class to a middle-level military attache in charge of five hundred people, and was promoted to the rank of wilderness hunter.
It's a rapid progress.
But in just one and a half months, a newly acquired martial art has been trained from unfamiliar to perfect, and even brought forth the new, and deduced it to the level of the legion's martial arts, which is a bit out of common sense!
Ordinary martial arts, even if they are lucky enough to get an inferior martial arts, often polished and studied for decades, it is difficult to break through to the middle martial arts.
Not to mention deducing it into a Legion Martial Skill.
Zhang Baisui smiled and quipped:
"The qualifications between people cannot be generalized."
"When I was young, I was in a situation of extreme anger, and with the flick of my fingers, I deduced a certain knife technique from the intermediate level to the superior."
Wei Anguo's face sank, and he said angrily:
"What about strong talent, it's not the same as me, trapped in the level of fighting generals for many years, and I can't advance an inch."
Hear this.
Zhang Baisui couldn't help but recall the information that Jiang Chen revealed to him - "The Great Desolation Sutra", and hid it in the hands of the wilderness spirit.
This was his only hope of breaking through the realm of Wuhou!
And the only way to awaken the spirit of the wilderness is to make a once prosperous country go to the barren moment, and the field becomes a wilderness.
In fact.
Only a vast ritual based on the state can awaken the pan-consciousness of the souls of thousands of living beings in the wilderness after death.
Come to think of this.
Zhang Baisui couldn't help but take a deep look at Jiang Chen by the lake shore in the distance, and once again gave birth to a wonderful feeling of "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to find, and it takes no effort to get it".
It took him nearly 30 years to travel all over Kyushu and the ends of the earth, but he never found the location of the "Great Desolation Sutra".
Who would have thought that
It's just that Jiang Chen, a young military attache who inadvertently inserted willows and casually invested a little, revealed the whereabouts of the follow-up exercises of the Wilderness Martial Arts.
The world is changing, and it's really hard to figure out......
Seeing Zhang Baisui's gaze shifting, Wei Anguo also turned his head and looked at Jiang Chen by the lakeshore, and found that he was holding a treasure bow at the moment, looking up at the sky.
"God?"
Wei Anguo raised his head, immediately frowned, and said with a stern face:
"The number of vulture eagles in the sky seems to be a little abnormal."
Zhang Baisui gently bowed his head:
"It's the flying tamer of Xili City."
…………
Lop Nur, East Coast, Abandoned Wharf.
Fan Liangshan, the 100 general of Qingzhou who was in charge of vigilance, stepped on the slightly decayed damp plank, raised his eyes to look into the depths of the clouds, stared at the flying taming beasts flying in the sky, and said in disgust:
"It's a bad feeling to be watched!"
Between words.
He summoned a few Qingzhou soldiers who were skilled in archery and ordered them to shoot the vultures, flying eagles, and birds above their heads.
And yet—
After the Qingzhou soldiers only shot a few birds that had not yet stepped into the transcendent sainthood, the rest of the flying tamers immediately flew a hundred meters high into the clouds, and soon got out of the shooting range of the Qingzhou soldiers.
"Five hundred lords, we can't help it."
Several Qingzhou soldiers with bows shook their heads, indicating that there was nothing they could do.
See this.
Jiang Chen walked to the shore of the lake, smiled slightly, and patted the storage bag hanging from his waist casually.
A crimson treasure bow suddenly fell into his hand, and it was the Red Soul Bow that he bought from the Eastern Hero Dao Master at a huge cost.
This thing is a medium-grade weapon comparable to the wings of a demon soldier.
It's powerful.
It can withstand up to 65 stones.
In a previous life, even a world weightlifting champion would never have been able to pull this bow apart.
And now.
Jiang Chen exerted his strength slightly, lightly holding the crimson bow with one hand, and twisting the bowstring with the other, slowly pulling it apart, and gradually aiming at one of the vultures.
Will bend the bow like a full moon.
Shoot an arrow!
Stop~
The arrow was wrapped in a rolling air current, and in a flash, it disappeared from the sight of Feng Lebin and others in an instant.
Next second!
"Ahh
A terrible chirp instantly resounded between heaven and earth.
Then.
A vulture fell from mid-air and fell to the ground, smashing into a lake of flesh and blood.
Fan Liangshan was overjoyed:
"Master Jiang Five Hundred, I didn't expect your archery skills to be so exquisite?"
As soon as the words fell.
Jiang Chen squinted, released his fingers one after another, and the arrows came out in a chain.
Bang!
The bow is like a thunderbolt!
One arrow after another misses like a meteor and flies away!
Connection.
More than a dozen vultures pierced their bodies, and even if they were not dead, they fell to the ground, which was enough to break their bones.
"Roar!"
The winged Heavenly Tiger-Yin general, who was hidden in the clouds, soon couldn't help it, and with a low roar, more than a dozen wind blades moved, cutting off the arrows one by one.
However.
Jiang Chen barely paused, and the speed of the arrow was three points faster.
In just three or five breaths, a full eight or nine arrows flew through the air, piercing one flying beast after another and died.
The ground was bloody.
Many flying beasts were chilled, but they didn't even dare to let out a frightened cry.
Just because—
As soon as it sounded, the ghostly cold arrow missed, and it would break through the sky and take the life of a flying taming beast.
General Yin lay on his stomach at the top of the thick clouds, staring at the human holding the bow below with huge tiger eyes, his eyes full of bitter hatred.
But on the contrary.
At the top of the hill, there were two top powerhouses, who were chatting happily, but they also left a point of qi on Jiang Chen.
If you rush down, I'm afraid you will be beaten in mixed doubles......
"Whew-"
General Yin exhaled a foul breath, then roared, ordered the remaining flying beasts to tame the beasts, and turned back to Xili City.
"Chirp~"
"Wow~"
"Ga~"
As if they had been granted amnesty, many flying beasts hurriedly spread their wings, turned around quickly, and slid over Lop Nur, not like going home, but like avoiding death.
Jiang Chen sneered, raised his bow and aimed at General Yin, who was lying on the clouds, his eyes gradually sharpened, and the power of the sea was condensed.
See this.
General Yin felt a hint of sarcasm in his heart.
The clouds were so thick that even if it was the Yang clan, the Divine Shooting Family of Xili City, it would never be possible to see where they were.
The next moment.
A sharp arrow worth sixteen taels of silver missed, and it quickly pierced through the clouds and shot straight into General Yin's soft abdomen.
"Pss
Blood flowed everywhere.
General Yin couldn't dodge for a while, and was hit by an arrow in the abdomen.
The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth rose slightly, no matter how thick the clouds were, with the blessing of the power of watching the sea, it was enough to see the mosquitoes within hundreds of zhang, not to mention the huge tiger body with a body nearly three zhang long?
"Roar—"
General Yin was angry in his heart, but Jiang Chen had already lost a new sharp arrow on the bowstring again, and the arrow edge showed a slight scarlet shimmer, and it had to flap its wings and fly towards another cloud at high speed.
But no matter how it hid, Jiang Chen was like opening a perspective hanging, and he could always find its traces.
Not much.
There were seven sharp arrows missing, which were inserted into the tiger's head, abdomen, wings and other parts.
Although it was not fatal, it also caused General Yin to suffer minor injuries.
"Roar—"
General Yin let out a low roar in his throat, his breathing became heavier and heavier, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Jiang Chen, who was located on the shore of the lake, carrying a knife and a bow.
Brush!
Wings flutter.
Dozens of wind blades were instantly generated, flying towards the abandoned dock where Jiang Chen was, and stabbing down!
"Ridiculous."
Jiang Chen walked a few steps at will, and easily avoided the attacks of those wind blades.
The wind blade transformed by qi and blood is not as good as the real thing like the arrow loss after all, and when it is separated by hundreds of zhang, it almost loses its destructive power and accuracy.
Ultimately.
General Yin roared incompetently, angrily left the high altitude here, turned around and flew back to Xili City.
After this battle, many flying tamers have been frightened, and there is no longer any thought of snooping.
Fan Liangshan on the side also breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully:
"Five hundred lords are mighty."
The rest of the Qingzhou soldiers with bows also said in unison:
"Five hundred lords are mighty!"
Jiang Chen smiled and spoke:
"Go on your patrols, and if you find an enemy that is difficult to deal with, come to me."
"Yes, Lord Five Hundred."
Everyone nodded yes.
Staring at the winged tiger soaring away in the sky, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart.
With his current archery skills, he was enough to inflict some damage on this Sky Beast, but it was impossible to kill it.
After all.
When he killed Zhu Polong, he took out almost all of his hole cards, including but not limited to "Zhang Longxiang Inheritance Shadow", Legion Martial Arts, Heavenly Dome Soft Qi, Nioh's Heart Shield, and the "Ritual: Warm Wine Killing Huaxiong" that came to mind.
The accumulation of four powers, and with Zhang Baisui sweeping the formation, he barely killed Zhu Polong.
And the winged tiger ......
It can fly!
When in danger, it will run!
Jiang Chen held his forehead and sighed, but he had no idea for a while.
When he was having a headache, on the hill, two veterans, Wei Anguo and Zhang Baisui, also walked down with a smile on their faces.
And behind them,
It was accompanied by 6,000 sergeants.
The army of the western plough army officially arrived at Lop Nur.
Many soldiers quickly poured into the temporary camp, resting and eating, and accumulating physical strength for the upcoming attack and defense of the western plow.
The 3,000 people were responsible for burying the pot and making food, and continued to expand and repair the camp.
Not long after,
Bursts of smoke rose.
Jiang Chen's heart tightened, and he said secretly:
"The strength of the vulture bone is probably a little stronger than Zhang Baisui in his heyday, with the strength of General Wei Anguo, can he fight?"
"If you are on the battlefield and accidentally die at the hands of the vulture bones......"
Just thinking about it.
A herald strode over, and when he saw Jiang Chen, his cold face immediately turned into a smile, a little flattering, obviously he also heard about Jiang Chen's feat of killing the fierce beast not long ago, and between the words, he regarded him as a superior military attache equivalent to a school captain, and said with a smile on his face:
"Lord Jiang Five Hundred, Lord Qincha invites you to go to the central camp to discuss matters, it seems that he wants to reward you for your meritorious deeds."
"Thank you."
Jiang Chen followed the herald and strode into one of the huge tents that was nearly ten zhang wide.
Inside.
In addition to Zhang Baisui and Wei Anguo, there are two captains surnamed Zhang and one captain surnamed Feng, who is Feng Wu, who was extorted a little money by Jiang Chen when the granary rat infestation.
In addition, most of the five hundred lords and commanders who participated in the military conference were also related to Feng Zhang's second family.
"It's not Zhang is Feng, ah......"
Jiang Chen's eyebrows lowered, and he suddenly recalled the current situation in the seven counties of Qingzhou.
The two counties and state capitals in the interior are all Feng's sphere of influence, mainly producing grain, metallurgy, and mining.
The four coastal counties are in the hands of the Zhang family, and commerce, shipping, and medicine are the mainstays.
The two great families have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, not only have they not weakened a bit, but they have squeezed many small families in the state to death.
Even the 30,000 Qingzhou troops almost fell into the control of the two great families.
If it weren't for the sudden rise of the partial general Hongwu, the promotion of Wuhou, and the reversal of part of the situation by himself, I am afraid it would have been ......
The tail is too big to fall off!
The danger of local secession!
Even if these two great families rebelled, those people who received the favor of Feng Zhang Er will definitely support it.
Imperial?
Ordinary people in Qingzhou have long forgotten the majesty of imperial power.
Jiang Chen gradually realized:
"No wonder the old emperor provoked party strife, vigorously supported Liu Chengzhi, and made trouble everywhere in the Qingzhou army!"
"If the Feng and Zhang families form a good alliance between Qin and Jin, the old emperor will wake up from his dream even if he sleeps at night......"
In fact.
On the day of the Qin Mission, it was only Feng Lebin, a disciple of the Feng family, who called for a call, and recruited nine Feng generals to help.
The influence of the two great families, a glimpse of this, is enough to see the whole leopard.
Between thoughts.
Wei Anguo, who was sitting in the first seat, was staring at himself with a smile, showing a warm smile:
"Jiang Five Hundred Lord, you pave the road for the army, this is hard work, and it is also a great achievement to kill the fierce beast Pig Polong."
"Logically speaking, meritorious deeds should be rewarded...... But for a while, General Ben didn't know what to reward. ”
The subtext in his words was undoubtedly to let Jiang Chen put forward his own needs.
Suddenly.
The faces of many five hundred lords and thousand commanders all showed envy.
From these words, they all felt Wei Anguo's affectionate recognition of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen combined his previous guesses and thought secretly:
"I don't have the surname Feng, nor do I have the surname Zhang, which is a disadvantage...... It's also an advantage! ”
