Xiao Che achieved a hundred victories in the training of the new army commander, and soon spread throughout the imperial army.

Of course, this name is naturally Xiao Yuan, who is Xiao Che's pseudonym.

In the next two months, Xiao Che achieved 100 victories in Shichang training and 100 victories in centurion training respectively.

This made Xiao Che famous in the entire Qingxuan Empire's army. During his tenure as the commander of the training new army, Xiao Che, a person with great potential for an excellent commander, appeared, and Lu Yanyan was also extremely happy.

The selection of talents is also included in Lu Yanyan's military exploits.

In her opinion, Xiao Che has great potential, and even surpassing herself is just around the corner. It's just that now, it still needs to be honed in actual combat.

Although Xiao Che was still an ordinary soldier now, his treatment was already the same as that of Zi Wuji and the other commanders. No one was dissatisfied with this, after all, Xiao Che's centurion's results in training and victory were really there. This has not been done in the history of recruits.

Originally, according to Lu Yanyan's meaning, Xiao Che didn't need to practice the formation of ordinary soldiers, he only needed to learn the knowledge of formation and the art of war, and command skills every day. But Xiao Che didn't do that. In addition to learning formations and the art of war, the rest of the time is spent with the soldiers to practice formations.

This move allowed Xiao Che to win the respect of more people. In fact, Xiao Che didn't think about it that much. It's just that he feels that the formations and the art of war in the books are important, but it is equally important to get along with the soldiers and actually participate in the formation drills. In this way, he can study the formation more comprehensively and thoroughly.

Soldiers, the land of death and life, the way of survival, should be protected by benevolence. With the teacher of benevolence, the master of the wayless, and the help of heaven......

Xiao Che has been in the army for half a year. Xiao Che has changed a lot in the past six months, and on this day, Xiao Che was reading the military book in his hand, thinking about the meaning inside. At this moment, Zi Wuji ran over quickly. It was said that Lu Yanyan summoned their commanders above the commander of a thousand commanders and asked them to complete a temporary task, and Lu Yanyan specially ordered Xiao Che to participate in this operation.

So Zi Wuji rushed to Xiao Che in a hurry.

Knowing that there was an action, Xiao Che did not delay, put away the book in his hand, and followed Zi Wuji.

When he came to the conference hall, he gave a military salute to Lu Yanyan and stood in the last position.

"According to intelligence, there have been frequent changes in the plateau tribes in the northwest recently. A squad is needed to investigate in depth, and this squad cannot be too large. Originally, this operation had nothing to do with you. But I think it's a good opportunity to fight. You are all the elite of this new barracks, future military commanders. Espionage is also a compulsory course for you, and this operation should be regarded as an assessment, and if you successfully complete it, then this part of the assessment will be considered to be completely passed. After a brief introduction to the operation, Lu Yanyan was the candidate.

The main goal of this mission is to step out of the empire and go deep into the many tribes in the northwest to find out the cause of the change. The team leader was naturally Dongfang Ye, who had the highest position and the highest cultivation among them, and the vice captain fell on Zi Wuji's head without any accidents.

The other team members are, Poison Master Tang Tang, Mo Fei who manipulates the puppet, Cheng Yin who practices soul exercises, Xue Wuxian who practices ice exercises, Duan Qiu, a swordsman, Liu Xuan, who is outstanding in whip skills and practices fire attribute exercises, Fu Hui who practices water attribute exercises, and Xiao Che.

The reason why these ten people were selected, except for Xiao Che, these ten people are all outstanding people in the YMCA, and since they entered the new military camp, their results in all subjects have been among the best. The reason why Xiao Che was brought was that Lu Yanyan wanted to focus on cultivating Xiao Che.

This is how the ten-man squad was formed. No one knows that in the near future they will stir up the world. At this time, although the ten of them were familiar with each other, they had not yet formed a friendship.

After a little preparation, Dongfang Ye led the team to set off. The operation was called Operation Hurricane.

They went to the northwestern frontier of the empire and did not travel on any means of transport in the army. Instead, they used an extremely secret teleportation array to teleport them to a hidden place on the northwest border of the empire.

This kind of ultra-long-distance teleportation costs a lot of money, and in view of the importance of this mission, they can only use it with Lu Yanyan's special approval.

The secrecy level of this operation is very high, and the difficulty is also set at the danger level, which Lu Yanyan had already informed them before leaving, and even asked if anyone could quit, but naturally no one withdrew, which made Lu Yanyan very satisfied.

It is a stone mountain, and in the depths, not a single tree or even grass can be seen on the mountain. The mountain is in the form of a ravine. Seeing such a desolate mountain, Xiao Che and the others were also in a daze, this is really a barren place.

Coming out of a hidden area in the mountain, several people wore unique veils. Originally, this was a secret operation, of course, the fewer people who knew about it, the better, but Dongfang Ye didn't think so, he thought it would be better to disguise himself as a horse thief in this kind of place.

Several of them had already undergone disguise, and even their skin had become extremely dark, which was a compulsory course for officers in the army.

Their immediate priority now is to find the town and buy a few war horses. Fortunately, the maps they carry are extremely detailed. Sure enough, it didn't take long to reach a small town in the northwest direction. This is no longer the Qingxuan Empire.

In fact, these countries do not have obvious borders, but are divided according to the territory of the city, and the exotic town they have arrived at now does not belong to any country, it was originally a desolate place, just because there are three roads connecting the east, west, north and south in this place. In the beginning, it was a place for business travelers to stop because of the convenient transportation. With the flow of people, over time it gradually formed a small town.

The population of the town is not large, but it is not small, there are 70,000 or 80,000 people.

The town is called Liujia Town, and it is said that the first person to settle here was a family surnamed Liu. This Liu family is not simple. According to rumors, the ancestor of the Liu family was originally a bandit of the Qingxuan Empire, but because he was on the empire's wanted list, he had to flee with his family here. I heard that when the Liu family first arrived here, the territory of the Qingxuan Empire was not as large as it is now. Originally, this was a far away place from the Qingxuan Empire.

In addition, the place is so desolate that no one lives here at all. Fortunately, the transportation here is well developed, and there are often tourists coming and going. Because this area is located in the border area of the northwest countries, and it is really desolate, it has become a three-way zone. With the cessation of the war, the Qingxuan Empire reached a peace agreement with the surrounding countries, and this place gradually became a gathering place for fugitives, bandits, and deserters.

Bandits are naturally indispensable in this kind of transportation artery. What's more, there are too many gangs gathered in this area. Fortunately, the martial arts cultivation of the ancestors of the Liu family was strong, and when they came, they also brought a lot of powerful and loyal bandits. After fierce battles with dozens of bandits, the Liu family won by force. In addition, the ancestors of the Liu family were very good at being people, so they reached an agreement with the bandits of all parties, and the Liu family charged protection money to the business travelers, and then handed over a part of it to the bandits in exchange for the safety of the business travelers here.

After several generations of efforts, Liujia Town was formed, and its population has increased to more than 80,000 today. The Liu family is the absolute overlord here.

With the current strength of Liu Jiazhen, there is no need to pay protection fees to the bandits for a long time, but the Liu family has not given up the tradition left by their ancestors. Therefore, in this area, the reputation of the Liu family is excellent. Besides, having such a peaceful and well-behaved place as Liujiazhen is also a good thing for the bandits, after all, they also need to enjoy the days of licking blood at the tip of the knife.

There are shops such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, elixirs, and spiritual weapons opened by the Liu family, as well as casinos and flower buildings. In Liujiazhen, even if there is a deep hatred, you can't shoot here, which also makes Liujiazhen richer and richer.

In this way, the few came to the only place of abundance in this desolate region.

They entered the town smoothly after paying a large amount of spirit coins as the horse thief Xuan Gang. Liujia Town, whether it is a merchant or a thief, as long as you pay enough spirit coins, you can enter the town. Besides, after so many years, no bandits dare to make trouble here. There were also unbelievers who killed people here, and then they turned into white bones and buried deep in the loess outside the town. Since then, no one has dared to hurt anyone in the town.

It's paradise for a lot of people. As long as you have spirit coins, you can get the luxury incense car beauties you want here. But behind this is a hell of oppression and exploitation.

Many robbers robbed the money and gambled heavily in the gold cave here, most of them lost, and those who lost would continue to gamble by the usury of the Liu family, and finally lost their lives to the Liu family.

It's not that there are no horse thieves who have thought of the idea of fighting Liu Jiazhen, but these horse thieves were eventually wiped out by the Liu family by various means.

It can be said that the Liu family is a well-deserved overlord in this area.

Dongfang Ye, Xiao Che and his party came here blatantly, and they were not afraid that the Liu family would find out their details. In this area, new gangs are formed every day, and many gangs are destroyed every day. A gang of horse thieves of ten people like them can only be regarded as the most ordinary and weakest gang, and it is not worth investigating at all.

At first glance, the name of the Xuan Bang was taken by Dongfang Ye, mainly because it is simple and easy to remember.

In this way, ten people began Operation Hurricane in the name of the Xuan Gang.

A large number of necessities were purchased in Liujia Town, and after a few days of repair, everyone left Liujia Town. Although the operation was called a hurricane, Lu Yanyan gave them half a year. So they are not in a hurry at all. The purpose of repairing here for a week is to gather the necessary information. to make it easier to complete the task.

As a result, through the information they gathered, they also learned some news about the countries of the Western Regions. Recently, the countries of the Western Regions have indeed exchanged very frequently. The exact circumstances of these business trips are also not clear. All they know is that the countries of the Western Regions have opened up their commercial markets one after another in just half a year and have exchanged contacts. They have sent envoys to each other non-stop, and even several countries have held many social activities in different fields.

There was not the slightest hint of information on military movements, and it was no wonder that the military was well known to them as caravans.

If they inquire too obviously and act rashly, they are afraid that they will startle the snake. If it is said that Liujiazhen does not have spies from various countries, Xiao Che and they will never believe it.

Xiao Che suggested subduing some foreign bandits for their use, and using these people's advantages to find out information. Soon, Dongfang Ye implemented the action according to Xiao Che's plan. The first thing they targeted was a group of horse thieves from the Great Rong Kingdom, and it was also a small gang with less than a hundred people, and the leader was only three Tongtian Realm. With the strength of Dongfang Ye and the others, it would be effortless to solve them. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, they did not shoot all of them. Instead, let Xiao Che, who seemed to be the weakest in cultivation, make a move.

Among these people, only Xiao Che's cultivation is in the Hetian Realm, and the others are the strongest in Dongfang Ye and are already in the Venerable Realm, while Zi Wuji and the others are all in the late stage of the Hetian Realm. Seeing that this Xuan Gang, which seemed to be not very old on average and only ten people, wanted to annex him, he couldn't help but laugh angrily.

However, in the next moment, they were shocked to find that the other party was the only one who made a move, and they saw that Xiao Che shot like thunder, which caught the three leaders of the Darong people off guard. They desperately worked together to resist Xiao Che's attack, only to see that Xiao Che's body was like a ghost, his hands were in the shape of claws, his fingers were dancing rapidly, and the layers of finger shadows were dazzling. I saw that in between breaths, the three leaders of the Darong people were killed on the spot, their limbs twisted, their faces frightened, and their deaths were extremely miserable.

Seeing that the three leaders were killed in the hands of this person before they took a round, the rest of the Darong people hurriedly scattered and fled. However, by this time they could not escape. At the same time as Xiao Che made a move, the Xuan Gang had already besieged all these horse thieves, and with the strength of their ten people, no one would be able to escape, and after killing a few die-hard resisters, the rest of the Darong people saw that they could not escape, so they gave up resistance.

In this way, these Darong people joined the Xuan Gang and became the first step taken by the Xuan Gang, and in the near future, these Darong people made great contributions to the Xuan Gang.

After recruiting these Darong people, Dongfang Ye and others also learned about some of the internal situation in Darong Kingdom. Their group of Darong people are just ordinary horse thieves, and I heard that the king of Darong has been vigorously purging the nobles who oppose him in the country in the past year. In the past, these nobles also opposed certain decisions of the King of Da Rong in their deliberations, but they did not lead to death. Now for some reason, King Da Rong is so cruel to these nobles.

It's impossible for them ordinary thieves to know the inside story. However, according to these Darong people, it is precisely because of the bloody purge of the domestic nobles by the Darong King. Let those nobles who escaped the catastrophe go into exile. I heard that among the many gangs, there is a relatively powerful leader of the Zhurong Gang, who is a victim of a certain nobleman who was purged by the King of Darong.

The Zhurong Gang, just by hearing the name, you know that this person and the Darong State have a common enmity.

However, according to these Darong people, the Zhurong Gang is powerful, with thousands of people. This leader is a powerhouse of the Hetian Realm. Seeing Xiao Che's move today, they also knew that this young man had the terrifying strength of the Heaven Realm. What they didn't know was that the strength of each of these people was at the peak of the Heaven Realm. Although Xiao Che's realm is only in the early stage of the Hetian Realm, in terms of strength, among all people, he is only afraid that he is second only to the Venerable Realm of Dongfang Ye. Even if it is a battle of life and death, Xiao Che's victory rate against Dongfang Ye is also five or five points.

However, except for Zi Wuji and Dongfang Ye, no one knew that Xiao Yuan was Xiao Che.

After all, Xiao Che's name is at the top of the wanted list in the Qingxuan Empire. Just with the bounty offered by the empire, it was enough to drive people in the Venerable Realm and even the Venerable Master Realm crazy. Such interests are enough to turn friends against each other and relatives into enemies.

Next, the target of the Xuan Gang is the Xurong Gang. Knowing Dongfangye's decision shocked those Darong people extremely much. The Zhurong Gang is a very powerful gang in their hearts. However, they also knew that Xiao Che was a martial artist in the early stage of the Hetian Realm, and this Dongfang Ye, as the leader, would inevitably be above Xiao Che's strength. Maybe it was the powerhouse of the late stage of the Hetian Realm, so they felt a little less afraid in their hearts.

If they were to know Dongfang Ye's true strength, they were afraid that these people would be scared. Generally speaking, when you cultivate to the Venerable Realm, you won't be a bandit. No matter what country the Venerable Realm is in, he will be vigorously recruited and thus receive good treatment. Unless it is the kind of extremely evil Venerable Realm martial artist, it will not be accommodated by all countries, but that kind of person is very rare. Generally speaking, even if they have been bandits and bandits, as long as they have cultivated to the Venerable Realm, they will be recruited by various countries. Isn't it true that a martial artist is a thief or a city lord just to obtain more cultivation resources?

Not many people want to live a life with their heads pinned to their belts all day. To be able to live in the open, no one wants to live in a dark corner.

After many investigations, they soon learned the information of the Xurong Gang. Under the leadership of Dongfang Ye, everyone marched towards the area of the Xurong Gang's activities.

Three days later, a hidden mountain col, Dongfang Ye they had already prepared. Just in the early hours of this morning, they attacked the camp of the Zhurong Gang.

The thousand-person camp is not small, and there are many open and dark sentinels, but under the powerful cultivation of the Xuan Gang, they were solved silently before they had time to make any sound.

When the Zhurong Gang was still asleep, Dongfang Ye had already completed the siege of the main camp. After all, there are more than 1,000 people in the Zhurong Gang, and the camp is comparable to a military camp. With the Xuan Gang, this person can't trap them all. However, it is not difficult to trap the main camp where the leader of the Zhurong Gang is located.

At this time, the leader of the Xurong Gang, Huge, suddenly woke up in his sleep, and he also realized that something was wrong with today's camp, it was too quiet. Just as he had already gotten up and was about to leave the camp to take a look, Dongfang Ye had already led everyone to rush in. Seeing that there were not only Huge but also other family members in this main camp, Dongfang Ye did not order an attack, but just surrounded all the Huge and his family. On the other side, Xiao Che also led everyone to surround the camp where the family members of the Xurong Gang were located.

Huge was also very angry, but when he saw that none of Dongfang Ye's ten cultivators were under him, he gave up all thoughts of resisting. What's more, the family members of their Zhurong Gang have been firmly controlled by Xiao Che, which makes him have to bow his head.

It's just that his eyes are full of resentment.

It is said that although the Zhurong Gang was established not long ago, many of them are the remnants of the nobility who were persecuted by the King of Darong. They formed gangs for different purposes than other horse thieves, and they were more to rebel against King Darong. It can be said that they are equivalent to the rebels of the Darong Kingdom. Most of the targets of their raids were the nobles in the territory of Darong.

Now Huge wanted to know who these people were, and what their intentions were. Although he saw that there were Darong people among them, the people who led him were obviously not Darong people.

He couldn't think of a reason for it. didn't wait for him to doubt for too long, Dongfang Ye told him what he would do.
