Yangzhou City.

Suzaku Legion Barracks.

Kou Zhong, who has become a captain, is leading his 500 soldiers to run with heavy loads.

"Hurry up! Fifty kilometers of weight-bearing running, and now only thirty kilometers, you guys are so embarrassed that I am too young! ”

Kou Zhong shouted loudly as he ran at the front.

At this time, after half a year of high-intensity military training, he has basically completely washed away the slippery gangster temperament in the past.

His dark skin, strong body, and his resolute face despite his still slightly youthful face all reflect the great changes he has made during this time.

If it weren't for the occasional flickering agility in his eyes, which allowed people to see a little bit of his shadow at the beginning, I'm afraid no one would have believed that he was just a low-level gangster half a year ago.

Compared with half a year ago, he is like a completely different person.

Of course, Kou Zhong's growth doesn't stop there.

Not to mention anything else, just the position of the captain in charge of five hundred people can show his changes.

Although Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were partly valued by Xu Yi, when they entered the Vermilion Bird Legion, they started completely from the most ordinary soldiers.

Xu Yi secretly personally opened his mouth to Wei Chisheng and Shi Long, and asked them to treat Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling as real ordinary soldiers, without any special treatment.

And even to a certain extent, they have to be more demanding!

Didn't get any preferential treatment, and even had to perform better than others to get the same treatment.

Under such circumstances, it still took them less than half a year to grow from a small soldier to a captain in command of 500 soldiers, which is enough to show how good the performance of the two is.

You must know that even in other armies, it is not easy to command 500 soldiers, and you are even qualified to be called a little general.

This is especially true in the Suzaku Legion!

This is the top army of Heavenly Sword Song Que who sighed to himself, thinking that it was more powerful than his Lingnan disciples!

Although the Vermilion Bird Legion could only recruit people in Yangzhou City due to territory restrictions at the beginning, it was also the best talent selected from hundreds of thousands of people.

It can be said that this 10,000 Vermilion Bird Army is one of the best in all aspects of Yangzhou City.

Coupled with Xu Yi's cultivation regardless of the cost and cost, the growth rate of each of them is extremely amazing.

Just looking at the late stage of their lowest strength meat training, it can be seen that none of these people are simple.

It is definitely not a simple matter to stand out among so many outstanding talents and become a captain in command of 500 people.

Especially for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were born as gangsters.

Because of the lack of a lot of innate education and resources, they actually have a lot of disadvantages compared to others at the beginning.

But in the end, they still relied on their own talent and hard work to make up for these disadvantages and achieve overtaking, which is quite not easy.

The Vermilion Bird Legion established by Xu Yi has a fixed literary and martial arts examination every month, and a unified examination every three months - in fact, it is to pull out and practice.

There are still many bandits and bandits near Yangzhou City, and even a little farther away, there are rebels eyeing them.

According to Xu Yi's original plan, he didn't plan to start a battle for the world so soon, he was going to wait until a year later, after the Vermilion Bird Legion was really trained, he would start to fight the world.

But this does not prevent the Suzaku Legion from 'practicing their hands' first.

After all, the army is different from other countries, and it is difficult to train real elite troops simply by training on weekdays, and you need to see blood!

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling began to rise in the first unified examination.

In the first two months, the performance of the two was not outstanding, especially in the first monthly exam, they were even at the bottom.

When it came to the second monthly exam, I don't know if it was shame and bravery, they finally began to catch up with the big army, but it was only at the average level, and it could be regarded as an elite soldier in the Suzaku Legion.

In the third monthly exam, that is, the unified exam and going out to fight, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling finally bloomed their style.

In this unified examination, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling cooperated, and with the strength of the two, they directly eliminated a gang of 100 bandits!

This is a hundred-person thief group with several late stage martial artists, Dazhai masters, and even peak martial artists of the day after tomorrow!

And the strength of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling is just that they have just entered the realm of bone training, which is equivalent to the martial artists in the late stage of the day after tomorrow.

With such strength, he directly put an end to such a hundred-person thief group, although some small tricks were used halfway, but this is also a partial embodiment of strength.

The assessment of the Vermilion Bird Legion is divided into literary examination and martial examination, and the unified examination is a direct integration of these two assessments, strategy, strategy, etc., which are also part of the assessment.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were able to defeat stronger enemies with weaker strength, showing their abilities without a doubt!

With this result, they undoubtedly became the top of the list of individual results this time, and thus became centurions.

Then, in the fourth monthly exam and the fifth monthly exam, both of them had very amazing performances, and with indisputable and impressive results, they became a captain in command of 500 people!

"He's one of the two people who are valued by the saint? Is your name Kou Zhong? ”

Song Que hid in the shadows and quietly observed Kou Zhong.

I don't know why, he seems to have a natural liking for this young man, and at first glance he thinks this person is good.

Even his own son, who didn't like his own son, actually thought about Kou Zhong at this moment.

'If this kid's talent is really good enough, maybe I can pass on the Heavenly Sword Nine Styles to him?' ’

At this moment, he actually doesn't have much desire in his heart.

Since Xu Yi secretly won the world, this country can basically be said to have restored the Han Dynasty.

And after letting Song Valve return to the Xinwu Dynasty, he has no family restrictions, and as for his children, they have all grown up, and they should have their own paths.

The only thing he can't let go of now is probably his own inheritance.

This should also be regarded as a common disease of the Chinese nation, always thinking that their skills can be passed on from generation to generation, and not to break the roots.

It's just that the threshold of "Heavenly Sword Nine Styles" is a bit high, and not everyone can learn it.

Song Que has also seen many young talents, but he doesn't think that these people can inherit his "Heavenly Sword Technique".

Only Kou Zhong in front of him.

Song Que felt a unique temperament in him, which had a special fit with his "Heavenly Sword Technique".

He felt that if he let Kou Zhong learn it, he might be able to learn his "Heavenly Sword Technique"?

It has to be said that there is always some special correlation between the gears of fate.

The plot of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has been made like this by Xu Yi, and the two protagonists named "Double Dragon" - Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

These two have not even started their own plots, and the world has already been decided.

But even so, Song Que finally had the idea of teaching Kou Zhong the "Heavenly Sword Technique", and it can only be said that this may be the relationship between the two?

"That's right, there is another one Xu Ziling, do you want to go and see it too?"

Wei Chisheng accompanied him, and neither of them let anyone find out.

This was specifically requested by Song Que.

Although he was asked by Xu Yi to take over the Vermilion Bird Legion, he also felt shocked and satisfied with the first meeting of the Vermilion Bird Legion, but he still wanted to get to know it secretly before having a formal meeting with them.

"Let's go check it out."

Song Que glanced at Kou Zhong deeply, and then, under the leadership of Wei Chisheng, he went to where Xu Ziling was.

on the training ground.

"Huh?"

Kou Zhong's brows furrowed slightly.

"It's strange, I felt that someone was secretly observing me just now, why can't I see anyone?"

He scanned the surroundings, but could not find any trace of the other party's existence.

Obviously, either he felt wrong, or the strength of the other party was far superior to him, and he couldn't find the other party at all.

Of the two possibilities, he prefers the latter.

Since he was a child, he has a keen perception, and after cultivating the "Martial Scripture", his perception has become more acute, and it is unlikely that there will be such a thing as an illusion.

"Who could it be? Commander in the Legion? ”

In the Suzaku Legion, there are still some people who are stronger than him.

For example, their current chief instructor - Shi Long.

Under Xu Yi's order, the stone dragon that finally broke through the realm of the grandmaster was put into the world, and it was all powerful.

If he was secretly observing, it was normal that he couldn't find out.

But Kou Zhong thought about it again, and felt that it was wrong.

If it was the Chief Instructor of Shilong or other powerhouses in the legion, there was no need to hide in the dark to observe him.

"Is it an outsider?"

Kou Zhong's body tightened instantly.

The news of the Vermilion Bird Legion cannot be exposed at the moment, which is likely to affect the future plan!

"I heard that not long ago, I caught a few spies, all from the nearby rebel army."

Although the attention of Yangzhou City has decreased because of the departure of Yu Wenhua, this does not include the nearby rebels who have long been eyeing Yangzhou City.

Especially after the unified examination two months ago, there are more such actions against Yangzhou City.

The unified examination two months ago should be said to be quite perfect for the entire Suzaku Legion, and even exceeded expectations!

But it was precisely because it was too perfect that the Vermilion Bird Legion dispatched this time and wiped out almost all the bandits and bandits near Yangzhou City, and even killed several vanguard reconnaissance units of the rebel army, which naturally caused a huge shock to the surrounding rebel army.

Some of the actions against Yangzhou City immediately became more numerous.

Although because the entire Yangzhou City is under surveillance, and the location of the Vermilion Bird Legion is also extremely hidden, very few people can find here.

But eating and drinking more than 10,000 people is not a trivial matter, if someone wants to find it, they can always find some clues.

For example, several spies who were captured not long ago illustrate this point.

And the spies who were caught before they could find this side are even more numerous.

"It should be that this large number of spies are missing, which has attracted the attention of the rebel army in disguise, so that they have sent real masters to investigate!"

Kou Zhong's mind turned, and he quickly came up with a 'reasonable' possibility.

"No! I need to inform the chief manager and the chief instructor as soon as possible! ”

Thinking like this in his heart, Kou Zhong did not start acting immediately, but continued to train according to the original plan.

- He was worried that the person who was secretly 'spying' on him did not leave, and if he left suddenly and hurriedly, he would probably startle the snake and make the other party run away in advance.

Although he couldn't act immediately, Kou Zhong still chose other ways to speed up his pace.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Don't be so grinding! Like a! ”

Soldiers: "······"

They wanted to complain, but when they thought about the comparison between the 500 kilograms of weight on their bodies and the 2,000 kilograms of weight on Kou Zhong's body, they couldn't say anything about these complaints.

can become a member of the Suzaku Army, and he has persevered in various high-intensity training for nearly half a year, but none of them are simple characters.

Relying on the good results of the assessment alone can't make them completely convinced.

In order to subdue this group of arrogant soldiers, Kou Zhong can be said to have implemented the four words of 'practice' to the extreme, not only eating, sleeping and training with them, but also training several times more than them!

Originally, everyone who saw that Kou Zhong was just a hairy boy and didn't obey discipline very much, after going through this training, they all obeyed and really recognized him as the boss.

Now, under the 'spur' of this boss, no matter how much they feel in their hearts, they can only speed up with a roar.

Suddenly, the training ground resounded with the sound of blood one after another.

The other side.

Song Que also followed Wei Chisheng and met Xu Ziling.

has also become a captain in command of five hundred people, and the camp where Xu Ziling is located is actually not far from Kou Zhong's side, and it can even be said that it is next door.

However, the two training camps that are so close to each other are very different in terms of training plans.

Kou Zhong's side is more inclined to training in terms of physical fitness, strength, and combat power.

Xu Ziling, on the other hand, is more inclined to discipline and obedience training.

As a military master, just by looking at their training methods, Song Que could think of what kind of people these two people were.

Xu Ziling should be more inclined to the style of a wise general, while Kou Zhong is more inclined to the style of a brave general.

Of course, this is not that they are not brave or unintelligent, but that it is just a matter of relative bias.

For a person like Wei Chisheng, who came from a family, he must prefer Xu Ziling's style of general.

This is also the reason why he noticed how much Song Que seemed to be partial to Kou Zhong, and recommended Xu Ziling to the other party for the first time.

It's a pity that after looking at Xu Ziling, Song Que only gave a 'not bad' evaluation, and then turned around and left.

Yu Chisheng shook his head slightly, and also left.

The two returned to their tents, preparing to discuss a meeting with the whole army.

"Lord Qiyu, Captain Kou Zhong and Captain Xu Ziling ask to see you!"
