Chapter 184 "Ritual: Killing Three Warriors with One Gut!" ", promoted to Commander of a Thousand Commanders!
On the way to the central camp.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes, raised his eyes and looked around, observing the changes in the blessings and misfortunes of the Qingzhou Army, mainly gray and black, and there were very few auspicious blessings that were full of brilliance.
gray gas,
It represents bad luck and bad things.
For example:
"Strangers in a foreign land, creditors!"
"The cave room is a candle night, and it is green!"
The occurrence of such unfortunate events does not directly lead to the death of an individual, but it is a low point in the life of a person, and bad luck is riddled with bad luck.
And black gas.
It's bad luck, and it carries the risk of death!
Like what:
When Jiang Chen first crossed, if he escaped on the battlefield, he would become a [fugitive] together with Chen Buying, Xiao Wu, Gongsun Hu and others, and would be pursued by the Qingzhou Army and die.
Even if they were not caught, it was extremely difficult for them to survive under the barren Gobi.
The many accidents represented by the gray and black qi are the disasters that people experience.
Jiang Chen raised his eyes and looked around, carefully observing the gray and black qi on the many Qingzhou soldiers, hundred generals, five hundred masters, thousand commanders, and even the captains.
Only then did I realize that I was surprised:
The lower the military rank, the less black qi lingers on the body, almost nothing; The higher the rank, the heavier the black qi becomes, and even faintly glows with blood!
"That is to say......"
"This unknown disaster has little to do with the middle and lower class soldiers, at least there is no danger to life!"
"Therefore, the factor of war can be ruled out, on the battlefield, the probability of death of ordinary soldiers is the largest, and the higher the status, the safer it is."
"It's hard to ......"
"Is it political?"
Jiang Chen was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought of an extremely dangerous possibility.
After thinking about it.
Suddenly stopped.
He turned and walked briskly towards a rather lively soldier's tent.
Moreover.
In the process, Jiang Chen tried to use his newly-acquired qi and blood martial arts, the Snake Breath Technique.
His own breath suddenly disappeared for the most part.
Unless a strong man of the level of Qingzhou Fighter concentrates all his attention and carefully observes Jiang Chen's traces,
otherwise
It is impossible for anyone to notice the presence of Jiang Chen.
Under normal circumstances, the vast majority of people will only regard Jiang Chen as a stone that can be seen everywhere, a rotten stake.
"This kid ......"
"What are you going to do?"
Zhang Baisui blinked several times before he was startled, noticed that Jiang Chen had suddenly disappeared, and then walked quickly into a soldier's tent.
…………
Jiang Chen stretched out his hand, opened the door curtain, and carefully observed the situation inside.
Inside the tent.
There were about twenty or thirty soldiers.
With money in their hands, they gathered around a pot, sometimes laughing, sometimes cursing loudly.
Jiang Chen stood on tiptoe and looked inward, there was a cat and a dog inside, as if he was playing with something very new.
Calling:
"Kill three soldiers in one intestine!"
Also known as:
"The big intestine catches the king!"
This is a low-profile version of the ritual that imitates the old Yue Wang's practice of [lying on salary and tasting gall], by chewing the unpalatable pig into the water, sharpening the mind, so as to strengthen one's own faith.
For Qingzhou fighters, it has the effect of enhancing the belief of fighters.
The person who was surrounded by many soldiers was also Jiang Chen's old acquaintance.
is not an outsider, but a fat man who contributed several fire folds in the battle of the grain truck, whose real name is Tang Niu, can be regarded as "sharing hardships".
Now, he is the leader of the gang, and he is even qualified to preside over the ceremony of "killing three warriors with one intestine".
Tang Niu bought a full nine kinds of spices from Hu Shang in the Western Regions, and it took nearly half an hour to cook three dishes and nine large intestines.
Tasmer,
It is the three Qingzhou fighters, and the other two Jiang Chen don't know, but the person who sits in the center with a big grin is Ruan Tiehan, who is greedy and takes care of the young lady.
"It stinks~"
Jiang Chen smelled the smell of the large intestine, so he couldn't help covering his mouth and nose, frowned, and asked in a low voice:
"Didn't you clean it up?"
In a trance.
Tang Niu heard the familiar tone, but he didn't know who it was, so he replied casually:
"I removed most of the fishy smell from my intestines, but I kept some of it."
"I think if you keep some of the original flavor, you know that you are eating the large intestine."
Isn't that just not cleaned?
The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth twitched and asked:
"Did you keep it on purpose?"
Tang Niu raised his proud chin and said to himself slightly:
"Of course."
"I have practiced this dish for two and a half years, and combined it with the unique spices and seasonings of the Western Regions to improve it, and in the process of cleaning, I deliberately left a part, the stronger the intestinal taste, the more powerful the hundred generals can further grasp the power of the fighter's faith."
Conversations.
The three Qingzhou fighters smelled the strange smell of the nine-turn large intestine and looked at each other, but in the end, they still picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a section of the nine-turn large intestine into their mouths.
Rumble!
Dark cuisine on the tip of the tongue!
Very fresh and very tasty!
Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, smelly, astringent, fishy!
All kinds of unpalatable tastes, especially the fishy smell of organs unique to the grease on the outer wall of the large intestine, swept the tongues of the three Qingzhou fighters in an instant.
The smiles on the faces of the three disappeared instantly, and instead a look of gritting teeth appeared, and even the evil idea of killing the fat guy Tang Niu rose in their hearts.
"Puff ha~"
Seeing the three Qingzhou fighters was like wearing a mask of pain, which caused a burst of laughter.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh, the smile would never disappear, it would only be transferred from some people's faces to others.
But.
Ruan Tiehan, who has always been greedy, quickly adapted to the peculiar taste of the nine-turn large intestine, and as soon as his mouth slumped, he ate all his share into his stomach, gave a thumbs up, and exclaimed loudly:
"Tang Niu, I'm afraid you don't want to be a kitchen god in the future!"
Even.
Ruan Tiehan was still unsatisfied, and asked the other two Qingzhou fighters if they needed help?
Jiang Chen, who was watching from the sidelines, shouted:
"Ruthless!"
The cultivation path of every martial arts path is really not that simple!
Ultimately.
The other two Qingzhou fighters still endured, gritted their teeth, chewed all the three plates of nine-turn large intestines, and swallowed them all into their stomachs.
Such a difficult ceremony, such a delicious homely meal, also in exchange for corresponding benefits.
After Ruan Tiehan and the other three aroused the belief of the fighters, they raised the test bronze tripod on the side, and their strength was one or twenty catties more than yesterday.
The more the class of Qingzhou fighters sharpened their beliefs and minds, the more powerful the actual power they transformed.
And at this time.
Jiang Chen also fulfilled his purpose of entering the soldier's camp - during the period when he had just risen to the top, he asked dozens of soldiers for their names.
Especially the surname.
Half of the soldiers are either surnamed Zhang or Feng, and the evil aura on their bodies is heavier than that of ordinary soldiers of the same level.
Moreover.
The other two Qingzhou fighters who ate the nine turns of the large intestine together were both surnamed Feng.
The black qi on their bodies represented the danger of death, almost twice as much as the evil qi on Ruan Tiehan's body.
"The old emperor wants to attack the two great families of Qingzhou?"
Jiang Chen fell into deep thought and slowly walked out of the soldier's tent.
And the dozens of soldiers in the account all shook their heads, always feeling that there was a very special person who had come, but they never remembered.
This is the wonder of the Snake Breath Method!
"It's not bad~"
Jiang Chen opened the curtain with a leisurely face, returned to Zhang Baisui's side, and said with a mysterious expression: "Old Tun Chief, guess what I found?" ”
"Got a clue?"
Zhang Baisui raised his eyebrows in surprise, just by watching the "ceremony: killing three soldiers in one intestine", he could discover the secrets that only the generals knew?
Jiang Chen pondered for a few breaths and said concisely:
"If it's not Zhang is Feng, today's disaster of the Qingzhou Army may be related to this."
Hear this.
Zhang Baisui's heart tightened, and he suddenly realized the true purpose of Jiang Chen's action just now: "You asked the names of those soldiers, these two surnames, the evil spirit on their bodies is heavier?" ”
"Not bad."
Jiang Chen's face was worried, and he said in a deep voice:
"Now, seventy percent of the land in Loulan, as well as the four cities on the border, have been brought under the control of the Qingzhou Army, General Hong and General Liu, have also returned to the camp, it is time to sweep away the national capital with a thunderbolt, if something goes wrong in the rear, I'm afraid it will ......."
"It's better to ask General Wei, alas......"
Zhang Baisui raised his eyes and looked.
Ahead was the central barracks, and after speeding up the pace, and after reporting to the guards and soldiers, he got permission and strode into the camp.
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided!"
Jiang Chen shook his head, quickened his pace, and walked into the general's tent.
…………
Inside the huge camp.
The general Wei Xuan stood with his hands in his hands.
He stood in front of the panoramic map of Loulan, expressionless, as if he was a little unhappy, and asked lightly:
"Lord Jiang Five Hundred, you just said that the military disaster in Guanqingzhou is pervasive, is this true?"
After hesitating for a while, Jiang Chen glanced at Zhang Baisui, and saw that he had a reassuring look, and then slowly spoke:
"Absolutely."
"I have the power of the greedy wolf star, and I can see the blessings and disasters in the world, if I see these problems, but pretend not to know, won't I know and not report it?"
"Well, that's good."
Wei Xuan nodded, although he was a waste, when it came to actual combat effectiveness, even Qingzhou fighters might not be able to beat him.
But the momentum of the superior exuded by him almost suppressed the whole audience, and many of his own soldiers were obedient and well-behaved like courtiers.
This kind of phenomenon suddenly made Jiang Chen secretly frightened, and he couldn't help but recall the aura exuded by the newly promoted Wuhou Wei Anguo, and made a simple comparison between the two.
Only then did I realize that I was surprised:
Even if he is promoted to Wuhou and General Wei Anguo, it seems that it is difficult to compare with Wei Xuan and his waste.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh secretly:
"It is worthy of being the former king of Zhenbei, only half a step away from stepping into the genius of the martial saint, no wonder he was ordered by the old emperor and became the commander of the Qingzhou army!"
And at this time.
Wei Xuan also opened his mouth:
"You didn't tell your generals about this, did you?"
Jiang Chen shook his head:
"How can such a major event be easily spread out and disturb the morale of the army?"
Wei Xuan nodded:
"Well, these things are kept secret for now."
"After the New Year, when the will of the Zhongzhou court comes out, some secrets will no longer be secrets, but now, they can't be made public."
"The last will understand."
Jiang Chen clenched his fists and thought secretly:
"Sure enough!"
"These sudden disasters are related to Kyushu in the mainland!"
"And even—maybe it has something to do with the old emperor?"
Then.
Wei Xuan lost interest and said coldly:
"Let's go back."
"Yes, General."
Just as Jiang Chen was retiring.
Wei Xuan suddenly seemed to remember something, and said:
"You have repeatedly made military exploits to help defend Anguo and break through the western plow, which is also a great achievement, and tomorrow I will contact the military judge of the headquarters and be promoted to the commander of a thousand soldiers."
"Thank you, General!"
Jiang Chen's heart was slightly happy.
For each rank of the rank, you will receive a generous reward.
If you are promoted to 100 generals, you can get 100 acres of fertile land!
Five hundred lords are thousands of acres of fertile land!
At the level of a thousand-commander, he can own a full 3,000 acres of land, and often need hundreds of hired farmers to take care of the fields, and he is a proper landowner!
According to the calculation of more than ten taels of silver per mu of watered land, you only need to become a thousand-mile commander, and you can accumulate nearly 50,000 taels of silver.
David Wu Dynasty, established the country with force.
Sergeants have a prominent position.
It's never just talk.
With money, status, and real power, this is the Kyushu warrior!
Soon.
Jiang Chen and Zhang Baisui walked out of the camp together, and the two glanced at each other, with a look of worry in their eyes.
The Qingzhou Army is like a tough tree, able to endure most natural disasters, but if there is a man-made disaster in the rear...... What will happen?
Jiang Chen spoke first:
"Lao Tun Chief, if the Qingzhou Army's disaster is closely related to Zhongzhou...... And how do we stand alone—after all, there are no eggs under the nest? ”
If the Qingzhou Army is compared to a big tree, then Jiang Chen and other soldiers are equivalent to young birds in the nest on the tree.
"If the tree falls, the birds in the shell will be doomed, and the young birds will have a hard time surviving, but if the eagle spreads its wings and soars into the sky, why is it afraid of the disaster of covering the nest?"
Zhang Baisui smiled indifferently:
"Let's concentrate on taking care of a bunch of things in our hands, even if the sky falls, there are those tall people."
Jiang Chen agreed, nodded and said yes:
"Hmm."
"You're right."
The two of them talked.
Jiang Chen's heart suddenly moved.
It seems to be a whim.
An inexplicable sense of familiarity swelled up in my heart.
It was as if someone who was extremely familiar was approaching.
The next moment!
Jiang Chen came back to his senses, as if he realized something, and suddenly evoked the power of watching the sea, and raised his eyes to look to the east.
More than ten miles away.
A battalion of about eight or nine hundred people was stepping on the yellow sand and slowly walking towards the camp of the Western Army.
And the person at the head is the extremely fierce captain of the eighteenth battalion - Zhang Longxiang, or rather, his shadow - Zhang Ying!
"Captain Zhang?"
"Isn't he stationed in Dongli City?"
When all the soldiers of the eighteenth battalion arrived, Jiang Chen knew:
General Hongwu did not want such a strong combat force as "Zhang Longxiang" to be responsible for the garrison work, so he sent a battalion of soldiers to change guards with Zhang Longxiang's troops.
But—
No one knows......
"Zhang Longxiang" is fierce and fierce, in fact, there is a shadow general, who is neither fierce nor atmospheric, just a stand-in.
It didn't take long.
Zhang Ying rode a high-headed horse, led eight or nine hundred Qingzhou soldiers, and strode into the camp of the Western Army.
After the soldiers settled down, he dragged the sick body and quickly found Jiang Chen.
And the first sentence he said startled Jiang Chen.
Zhang Ying stared at Jiang Chen.
In his eyes, there was a hint of sadness and helplessness:
"My body...... I can't hold it anymore! ”
