Noon on the same day.

Dragon Shadow Guard's room.

Su Mu and Lu Fan sat facing each other, looking a little excited.

"I really didn't expect your strength to be so strong now."

"Even Xu Qing can win."

"It's amazing."

After holding back the words for a long time, it was only now that Su Mu had the opportunity to say it.

Lu Fan didn't speak, he was burying his head in eating.

"If you continue like this, you have a lot of hope for next year's big competition."

Su Mu thought of this, and smiled at Lu Fan: "Maybe you can really come back with a first name." ”

"Well, I'll try."

Lu Fan replied and continued to bow his head to eat.

"That's right."

Su Mu smiled and asked, "Today, the two of us have made a great contribution, right?" ”

"Perhaps."

Lu Fan wasn't sure.

Although the results of today's task were very satisfying, the process was somewhat unsatisfactory.

It's not perfect.

"How many feats do you think we can get this time?"

Thinking of this, Su Mu had a little more expectation in his heart, "There should be at least one or two thousand, right?" ”

"Almost."

Lu Fan thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's more than that." ”

"That's great."

Su Mu smiled: "In this way, I can change a book of third-order exercises." ”

"It's okay to save more."

Lu Fan proposed: "In the future, we must still have a lot of tasks, and when we have accumulated enough combat merits, we will change to a high-level exercise." ”

That's what he thought.

"Forget it, I can't wait that long."

Su Mu muttered: "Since I was promoted to the ninth rank, my cultivation has not increased much, and the first-order exercises just can't work, it's too far behind." ”

"Okay, let's change a copy of the third-order exercises first."

Lu Fan also understood that the low grade of the exercises would not only affect the cultivation speed, but also the upper limit of cultivation.

With only the first-order exercises, it may be possible to practice to the eighth or seventh rank, but it is almost impossible to go further.

Like the sixth-order exercises that Lu Fan is practicing now, Dingtian can only allow him to reach the second grade of cultivation.

It will take many years.

Under normal circumstances, after he was promoted to the fourth-rank cultivation, the sixth-order exercises would not play much of a role.

If you want to go further, it's going to be slow, very slow.

Therefore, Lu Fan will definitely change to a higher-level exercise in the future.

He wanted to do it in one step and exchange his combat exploits for ninth-order exercises.

After all, the highest martial arts that can be exchanged in the military camp are only the ninth order.

No matter how high-level it is, no matter how much you have combat exploits, you can't change it.

Because it's so rare.

It's just that it takes 20,000 combat merits to exchange for the ninth-order exercises, and Lu Fan only has more than 5,000 now, which is still far behind.

He needs to get more feats.

"Well, that's the only way to do it."

Su Mu nodded and said with a smile: "I don't want to be left too far behind by you." ”

"Let's eat."

Lu Fan reminded.

"Oh."

Su Mu buried his head and took a big bite of rice.

……

……

The next day.

August 2nd.

Morning.

On the martial arts field, ten teams of dragon shadow guards were neatly lined up in ten square lines.

Ten captains stood at the head of the line.

Li Yongtai walked out slowly, came to the front of everyone, and looked around the audience.

"Hello everyone, yesterday was the first time that our Long Yingwei carried out a mission, and it was successfully completed."

"It's a perfect start for us Long Yingwei."

"The reason why we can successfully accomplish the task is, of course, inseparable from everyone's efforts."

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded!"

Speaking of this, Li Yongtai paused for a moment, and then said: "Yesterday I had drawn up a list of meritorious soldiers, and after I reported to the commander-in-chief, it has been approved. ”

"I'm here to announce it to you today."

"I hope you can all remember this moment today, so as to motivate yourself and learn from those meritorious soldiers."

Li Yongtai said loudly: "I can make countless achievements in the future." ”

"Yes!"

The crowd shouted yes.

"Alright, I'll announce the list."

Li Yongtai nodded slightly, took out a roster prepared in advance, and read aloud: "Yang Cheng, Liu Yang, Li Xun...... Obtain 500 merits and 1 silver tael. ”

"Xu Jing, Song Yu, Lu Rui...... Obtain 1000 merits and 3 taels of silver. ”

"Ye Wuchen, Meng Ran, Cao Ning...... Won 2000 merit and 5 taels of silver. ”

"Qin Yu, Su Mu, won 3,000 merits and 10 taels of silver."

"Lu Fan won 5,000 for his military exploits and 20 taels of silver."

After reading, Li Yongtai closed the roster and looked around at everyone again, "Everyone's exploits have been recorded, and the reward will be issued to you by the captain." ”

"Yes!"

Everyone should say yes in unison.

"Alright, let's train on our own."

Li Yongtai didn't say much.

No, you don't.

Those exploits and bounties were more useful than any of his words.

He believes that more people will actively participate in the next mission.

There is no need for him to mobilize at all.

As for loyalty, after a few months of observation, he was now basically certain that most of the Dragon Shadow Guards had not been bought by the gang.

First, it is due to the age of Long Yingwei, who is under the age of eighteen.

It's the time when the teenager is hot.

Second, most of these dragon shadow guards have good backgrounds, and they disdain to be in league with those gangs.

Moreover, with the long-term relationship, under the influence of each other, the dragon shadow guards will be more united and have a greater sense of belonging.

It will be more difficult to be bought later.

This is also the reason why the age of Long Yingwei is set at under eighteen.

Strong plasticity, high ceiling, more passionate, and more passionate.

"Yes!"

The crowd dispersed.

"Lu Fan, congratulations."

"You behaved so well yesterday!"

"It's so strong!"

"That is, you, if you were someone else, you might not be able to complete the task."

"Yes, besides you, who can be Xu Qing's opponent?"

Many people gathered around Lu Fan to congratulate him.

Originally, many people who were not convinced, after yesterday's battle, were convinced by Lu Fan.

After all, Lu Fan's performance was too amazing.

It can be said that it is far beyond them.

When the gap is too big, there will be a halo blessing, so that Lu Fan's status in their hearts will be greatly improved.

"Thank you!"

Lu Fan smiled and responded.

After everyone dispersed, Lu Fan came to the corner where he often stayed alone and practiced various skills.

After a while, Ye Wuchen walked easily and walked towards this side.

He stopped not far in front of Lu Fan and watched Lu Fan practice.

The entire Long Yingwei, if you want to say that the most diligent person, is undoubtedly Lu Fan.

On the contrary, Ye Wuchen should be the most laid-back person.

He had never practiced as penance as Lu Fan, nor did he even practice martial arts and training like others.

Usually when he is in the martial arts arena, he will find a place to sit there and close his eyes to recuperate.

Occasionally, I will watch others practice martial arts.

But he never practiced it himself.

Oddly enough, his captain didn't care about him either.

He was extremely permissive.

It is said that he and Lu Fan are two extremes.

But now they are close to each other.

"You're looking for me?"

Lu Fan saw Ye Wuchen, stopped training, and walked towards him.

"Hmm."

Ye Wuchen nodded, greeted him, and said with a smile: "You really surprised me." ”

"How?"

Lu Fan was a little puzzled.

"Yesterday's actions, your performance throughout the whole process, I have seen it all."

Ye Wuchen gave Lu Fan a thumbs up, "It's really good!" ”

"Oh?"

Lu Fan heard the meaning of Ye Wuchen's words, since the other party could stare at him the whole time and hadn't let him find out, that meant that Ye Wuchen's strength was still stronger than him?

It's so hidden!

He had thought that Ye Wuchen had hidden his strength, but he didn't expect the other party to hide so much.

During the ranking competition, Ye Wuchen's strength was at most the pinnacle of the seventh grade.

But now it seems that the strength of the other party may have reached the third grade?

It's so strong!

It's just that Ye Wuchen hid it well, why did he remind him now?

Did he feel threatened? Can't hold your breath?

It's possible.

Even if Ye Wuchen is light and breezy, he will inevitably feel the sense of oppression brought by his close pursuit behind.

What's more, the other party is a teenager of the same age as him after all.

There's always a sense of competitiveness.

When the gap between the two was very large, Ye Wuchen could not care.

Even if Lu Fan showed a certain talent, it didn't matter.

However, when the strength of the two continued to approach, Ye Wuchen's mentality would inevitably change.

Especially a genius like Ye Wuchen, he can better understand how fast Lu Fan is catching up.

"When the two of us competed, I had already tried your true strength, and at most I could reach the peak of the seventh grade."

Glancing at Lu Fan, Ye Wuchen continued: "But now, your true strength is no weaker than that of a five-rank master. ”

"It's far beyond my imagination."

"I admire you!"

Ye Wuchen emphasized: "Sincerely. ”

"But I'm still not as good as you, am I?"

Lu Fan said tentatively: "Your strength is still far stronger than mine, right?" ”

"You can't compare it like that."

Ye Wuchen shook his head lightly, "I started cultivating martial arts at the age of six, and the first exercise I practiced was a high-level exercise, and it has been ten years now. ”

"Oh."

Lu Fan had long known that the other party's family background was not ordinary, otherwise he would never have reached his current cultivation.

It is said that with Ye Wuchen's strength, even in the Royal Forest Army, he is also one of the top Dragon Shadow Guards.

But I don't know why I chose to come to Zhennan Army?

Is there anything unspeakable?

"I'm coming to you, it's nothing, I just want to talk to you."

Ye Wuchen tugged at Lu Fan's sleeve, "Come, sit down and say." ”

"Okay."

The two of them came to the bottom of the tree and sat down with their backs against the tree.

"I know you're working hard now, just for next year's big competition."

Ye Wuchen tilted his head to look at Lu Fan, "Originally, I thought you didn't have much chance, but through yesterday, I found that I still underestimated you." ”

"Do you know the strength of several other Dragon Shadow Guards?"

Although Lu Fan had heard Su Mu mention it, he wanted to know Ye Wuchen's opinion even more.

Maybe Ye Wuchen's news will be more accurate.

"Got the most out of it."

Ye Wuchen groaned slightly, raised his head, and looked into the distance, "You may have also heard that in terms of overall strength, there is no Dragon Shadow Guard that can compare to the two Dragon Shadow Guards in Kyoto. ”

"But not necessarily."

"Among the dragon shadow guards of the border army, there are also amazing geniuses."

"It's just that they hide their strength."

After a pause, Ye Wuchen continued: "On the day of the big competition, many masters will be revealed, showing far more strength than usual, just to compete for the highest honor. ”

"Understood."

Lu Fan nodded.

Just like Ye Wuchen, he undoubtedly hid his strength well.

In the other border armies, there must be such people.

Those masters on the bright side, like Yan Qing, may not be the strongest person in the Dragon Shadow Guard.

Maybe those who are hidden in the dark are Lu Fan's real opponents.

For example, Ye Wuchen.

Lu Fan couldn't see through the other party's strength, and he couldn't guess the other party's true cultivation.

"In this way, the reason why you children of the family joined the army is for next year's big competition?"

"There are reasons for this, and not all."

Ye Wuchen smiled and said, "However, the reward of the big competition is indeed very tempting, and even I will be tempted. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Lu Fan was curious.

"It is said that there are ninth-order exercises, and even higher."

Ye Wuchen said: "For us martial arts cultivators, good exercises can not only increase our upper limit, but also save time and increase our cultivation speed. ”

"Higher?"

Lu Fan was a little surprised.

The ninth-order exercises are already very rare.

Ordinary families do not have the ninth-order exercises to pass down.

As for the human-level exercises above the ninth order, many great families may not have them.

Further up are the stairs.

The ground-level exercises are exercises that can only be possessed by super families and super sects.

Then there is the Heavenly Rank Exercises.

That's even rarer.

There are not many Heavenly Rank exercises in the entire world, which can be regarded as supreme treasures.

No wonder there are so many children of the family who come to participate in the Dragon Shadow Guard, just one person's rank exercises can make people break their heads.

"Isn't it more motivated?"

Ye Wuchen saw the expression on Lu Fan's face and said with a smile: "Come on, even if you can't get the human-level exercises, it's good to take this ninth-order exercises." ”

"That's right."

Lu Fan does have motivation and goals.

Human-level exercises, he must get them!

"Okay, don't delay your training."

Ye Wuchen got up and said, "I'll go find a place to squint for a while." ”

"Hmm."

Lu Fan stood up and watched Ye Wuchen leave.

The other party is really free and easy, and even the training is careless.

But it is extremely strong.

In addition to talent, it must be related to the cultivation of exercises.

It seems that he is lazy, maybe it is also a cultivation method of the other party.

By the way, what you want?

What kind of exercise is that?

Lu Fan remembered that Ye Wuchen had mentioned it to him.

Sounds unusual, huh?

……

……

Midday.

After lunch, Lu Fan returned to the dormitory.

Yang Cheng sat on the edge of the bed, as if he was deliberately waiting for him.

"Lu Fan, the Lord Commander is looking for you, and he specially told me to tell you when you come back."

Yang Cheng looked at Lu Fan with envy, "Lord Commander is really good to you, I was afraid that you wouldn't have enough to eat, so he didn't let me go to you." ”

"The people live on food."

Lu Fan smiled.

For him, eating is really important.

There can be no delay.

"Go quickly, don't let the Commander wait."

Yang Cheng urged.

"Hmm."

Lu Fan walked out of the dormitory quickly.

Soon he entered the small courtyard where Li Yongtai lived, came to the small building, and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Li Yongtai's voice rang out.

"Yes."

Lu Fan pushed the door in, and saw Li Yongtai sitting on a chair, crossing Erlang's legs, and drinking tea leisurely.

"Lord Commander, you're looking for me."

"Sit down."

Li Yongtai pointed to the seat next to him and poured a cup of tea for Lu Fan.

"Yes."

Lu Fan has been here several times, and he is not as restrained as before.

"Yesterday's battle, well done!"

Li Yongtai seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face, "In addition to your way, I also arranged for another team of people to go to the Black Tiger Gang branch altar and annihilate all the hundreds of gangs who stayed there. ”

"After this battle, the Black Tiger Gang branch altar was completely wiped out!"

"Presumably the other gangs will also be alert and rein in their behavior."

"If there are any uninteresting people, I don't mind exterminating them all!"

Speaking of this, Li Yongtai snorted coldly: "The little gang still wants to be powerful in my territory? I don't know if I'm alive or dead! ”

"Yes!"

Lu Fan agreed, but in his heart he was pondering the meaning of Li Yongtai's words.

Before, he didn't quite understand why he wanted to take the Black Tiger Gang first.

Now he kind of understands.

At the end of the day, it's a conflict of interest.

Maybe it's the Black Men who are in the way?

"There's one more thing I want to tell you."

Li Yongtai changed his words, and the smile returned to his face again, "In the last ranking match, I made two bets with Lord Commander, and the beneficiary is you. ”

"Huh?"

Lu Fan was surprised, he didn't expect this kind of thing.

"You had too much training before, so I didn't rush to fulfill the bet."

Li Yongtai picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Recently, I talked to Song Xiucheng about you, and he said that you have made rapid progress and have practiced all kinds of martial arts and skills. ”

"Also, I saw your performance yesterday, and it's really good."

Speaking of this, Li Yongtai smiled at Lu Fan, "So, it's time to practice the gambling contract." ”

"My lord, how do you practice it?"

Lu Fan heard it, it was a good thing.

"You can get two sixth-order exercises or martial arts as a reward."

Li Yongtai said with a smile: "I have already said hello to the pavilion keepers, as long as you take your waist card, you can go to the library at any time and choose the exercises you need." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Lu Fan knew that Li Yongtai's contribution must be indispensable to this.

"Don't thank me, this is what you won with your strength."

Li Yongtai paused slightly, raised his head, looked at Lu Fan and said, "Moreover, I also hope that you can get a good ranking in next year's big competition." ”

"After all, compared to several other Dragon Shadow Guards, our strength is still inferior."

"You and Ye Wuchen are the two people I value the most."

"It's also the most promising to get a good place."

"I give you proper help, and you deserve."

"You don't have to take it too seriously. ”

"I will remember the kindness of my lord."

Lu Fan still stood up and thanked him solemnly, "I will definitely not live up to this kindness and strive for more meritorious service." ”

"Okay."

Li Yongtai nodded with satisfaction, "Sit down and drink tea." ”

"Yes."

……

……

Coming out of Li Yongtai's residence, Lu Fan went straight to the library pavilion.

Get the exercises early and start practicing early.

And he had already thought about it, looking for a book of alchemy.

Although his physical body is very strong now, after all, he has not practiced alchemy, so he can't exert the strength of his physical body.

When he mastered alchemy, everything would be different.

And it will be very different.

At that time, his strength will be greatly improved.

He had that faith.

With expectations in his heart, Lu Fan came to the library pavilion, took out the waist card, verified his identity, and explained his intention.

There are two keepers.

Today is an old man, I can't tell my age, he looks thin and small, and his face is not as big as a palm.

Xiaoshuang's small eyes didn't have much energy, and they were sleepy.

He doesn't look like a martial artist at all, but like a sick seedling.

But Lu Fan knew that this person was definitely not simple.

After all, the identity is here.

Those who can become cabinet guards are by no means ordinary people.

"Come with me."

The old man walked unhurriedly in front to lead the way, and Lu Fan followed closely behind.

The two of them ascended the stairs to the fourth floor and came to a row of bookshelves.

"It's all sixth-order martial arts here, you can choose for yourself."

"Okay."

Lu Fan's attention was completely attracted by the martial arts in front of him.

All kinds of knife skills, swordsmanship, marksmanship, boxing, hidden weapons, body skills, everything.

Comparatively speaking, alchemy is less.

Not only are there few exercises, but there are also few people who practice them.

The main thing is that it is difficult to practice, and then it is boring.

Anyone who has a little talent for martial arts rarely learns alchemy.

After all, light resistance to beatings is useless.

And people's energy is limited, boxing, sword, body, swordsmanship, these are enough to practice.

I don't have that much time to practice alchemy.

But Lu Fan is different.

He likes the strength of his physical body, and he has enough time to practice various martial arts.

Eyes searched the shelves.

The names of various martial arts dazzled him.

Suddenly, a name attracted him.

Six Imperial Divine Physique?

Just look at the name and know that it is a book of body exercises.

That's it.

Lu Fan picked up this exercise, handed it to the old man, and said, "I'll take one first, and then I'll choose another one later." ”

"Okay, come with me."

The old man took Lu Fan downstairs.

According to the usual practice, Lu Fan signed and pressed his handprint before he was allowed to take away the exercises.

"Remember to come back."

The old man instructed.

"Okay."

Lu Fan took the exercises into his arms and walked back to the dormitory quickly.

The three roommates were all practicing, but he didn't alarm the roommates and quietly went to bed.

Opening the Six Imperial Divine Body Skills, and flipping through them from the beginning, he had a general understanding of this alchemy.

The Six Emperors are the Six Defenses.

In other words, if he can practice this alchemy technique to the extreme, it can not only improve his physical strength, but also add six layers of defense to his body.

When the time comes, it will be difficult for him to get hurt even if he wants to.

Let's practice!

Lu Fan put away the exercises and tried to start cultivating.

Alchemy is divided into internal and external exercises.

The so-called internal practice is to practice by meditation as it is now.

External training is like martial arts, with the help of external forces to cultivate.

Therefore, alchemy can be called both a practice and a kind of martial art.

After practicing for a while, Lu Fan opened the attribute panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 16/165

Power: 55.83

Dexterity: 17.74

Mental Power: 20.19

Physical strength: 17.21

Cultivation for: six grades

Exercise: Vientiane Demon Suppression Fifth Level (315/1000)

Martial Arts: Introduction to the Six Imperial Spirits (0/1)

Assignable stat points: 17.65

The Six Imperial Divine Physique Skills are assigned to the Martial Arts column.

It's a good thing for Lu Fan.

After all, compared to the exercises, martial arts require less experience.

It will also take less time to reach the maximum level.

Go on!

Go to the martial arts arena and practice outside.

Lu Fan got up, left the dormitory, came to the corner where he often stayed in the martial arts arena, and began to temper his body according to the exercises.

After practicing for an afternoon, he opened the attribute panel and swept his gaze to the martial arts column.

Introduction to the Six Imperial Divine Bodies (0/1)

Experience is still 0.

Lu Fan knew in his heart that the alchemy technique was really difficult to practice.

In the same amount of time, if he used to practice other martial arts, he would have already leveled up.

However, there are benefits to being difficult to practice.

Maybe the effect will be better after upgrading, right?

Lu Fan guessed like this, also to give himself motivation.

Go on!

Aim for an early upgrade and see the results.

Lu Fan did not rush to eat, but stayed in the martial arts arena and practiced until dark.

It wasn't until there was no one in the martial arts arena that he stopped and left the martial arts arena quickly.

came to the room, served the meal, sat opposite Su Mu, and he buried his head in eating.

"I changed this third-order exercise at noon today, and after practicing it for a while, the effect is really good."

Su Mu didn't care whether Lu Fan was listening or not, and said to himself.

"The grades of the exercises are different, and the gap is too big."

"It's hard to imagine what would happen if there were high-level exercises?"

"I really envy those children of the family, who have had high-level exercises since they were children."

"Why do you think I didn't have a child in the family?"

Su Mu scratched his head, "And you, it's a pity." ”

"Not necessarily."

Lu Fan just swallowed a mouthful of food and replied.

"Oh?"

Su Mu was puzzled, "Why?" ”

"Like Xu Wei, the conditions are good enough, right?"

Lu Fan said: "His mind is obviously useless in cultivation, although his strength is also good, but if he is willing to work hard, it will definitely be more than his current cultivation." ”

"And Liu Zhi."

"These two sons of the family are good, some people don't cultivate at all, they know pleasure all day long, and they can't endure any hardship."

"But that's also their blessing."

Speaking of this, Lu Fan shook his head lightly, "It's a good life, you don't need to work hard." ”

"Yes."

Su Mu thought about it for a while, and then understood, and said with a smile: "Even then, I would rather be born in a family." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Lu Fan also laughed, "But you can't catch it." ”

"You guy!"

Su Mu lightly punched Lu Fan.

"Haha."

Lu Fan smiled heartily.

Sometimes he would think that fortunately with Su Mu by his side, he could talk to him to relieve his boredom and amusement, and let his tense nerves relax.

After all, one piece at a time is the most ideal state.

It can also achieve better cultivation results.

……

……

Had dinner.

Lu Fan returned to the dormitory.

The three roommates were not cultivating, but chatting.

"You're back just in time."

Pei Jun smiled and said, "Lu Fan, congratulations." ”

"It's a great achievement this time."

"It's another 5,000 battle exploits, you're too powerful."

Yang Cheng and Xu Bin also stepped forward to congratulate.

"Thank you."

Lu Fan smiled and nodded in response.

"By the way, why don't you practice today?"

"I'm waiting for you."

Yang Cheng smiled: "I just want to say congratulations to you." ”

"yes."

Pei Jun answered: "Yang Cheng has also made meritorious contributions, but Xu Bin and I didn't have the opportunity to participate in this operation, it's a pity." ”

"The next time I have the chance, I will definitely try to participate."

Xu Bin smiled at Lu Fan: "You remember to recommend us in front of the captain and help us say good things." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan got into bed, stopped talking, and devoted himself to cultivation.

"Let's practice too."

"Hmm."

Yang Cheng and the three followed suit.

……

……

The next afternoon.

Lu Fan practiced until it was dark, and then he finished his work and walked out of the martial arts arena.

On the way, he opened the properties panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 16/172

Power: 56.33

Dexterity: 17.74

Mental Power: 15.19

Physical strength: 18.21

Cultivation for: six grades

Exercise: Vientiane Demon Suppression Fifth Level (330/1000)

Martial Arts: Six Imperial Divine Bodies Beginner (0/10)

Assignable stat points: 17.89

The alchemy technique has finally been upgraded, from the beginner to the beginner.

Strength is increased by 0.5 and Strength by 1.

Compared to the third-order martial arts, the effect has more than doubled.

Sure enough, it's a sixth-order alchemy technique, it's really good!

Lu Fan could already predict how much of a bonus he would have to give him after cultivating the alchemy technique to perfection.

Correspondingly, his strength will be greatly improved again.

Had dinner.

Lu Fan and Su Mu were walking on the road, and when they were about to arrive at the dormitory, they saw Song Xiucheng coming towards them.

"Captain!"

The two stepped forward to say hello together.

"Hmm."

Song Xiucheng nodded, turned around and walked in front, "Lu Fan, you come with me." ”

"Yes."

Lu Fan followed behind Song Xiucheng, and could feel the other party's emotions, which seemed to be different from the afternoon?

Is something wrong?

Along the way, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was slightly depressing.

When he came to Song Xiucheng's residence, he stretched out his hand and signaled, "Sit down." ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan waited for Song Xiucheng to sit down first, and then sat opposite him.

"I just got back from the Lord."

Song Xiucheng's face was a little solemn, "I got some news, some good and some bad." ”

"Xu Qing never let go, and he didn't say anything."

"In addition, there are many people who are interceding for him, not only high-ranking officials in the military camp, but also court officials, and gang forces."

"It's put a lot of pressure on the Commander."

"It is said that the Black Tiger Gang is using their connections to save Xu Qing at all costs."

"It even alarmed the imperial court."

"In a few days, the imperial court may send officials to investigate this matter."

Speaking of this, Song Xiucheng glanced at Lu Fan, "You have to be mentally prepared, someone will definitely ask you when the time comes." ”

"Yes."

Lu Fan nodded yes.

"But don't worry, with me and the Commander-in-Chief, the situation cannot be reversed."

Song Xiucheng continued: "Even if someone from the imperial court comes, it is just a formality, and the Lord Commander has already thought about this and has a way to deal with it. ”

"My subordinates understand."

Lu Fan wasn't worried.

If you can't even handle this little thing well, is there still a need for Long Yingwei to exist?

"The good news is that the destruction of the Black Tiger Gang has deterred other gangs."

Song Xiucheng continued: "Several small gangs have already evacuated Zhennan Pass. ”

"Oh."

Lu Fan answered: "That's quite effective. ”

"It's working, but it's not enough."

Song Xiucheng sighed lightly and said, "Because Xu Qing didn't let go for a long time, it caused those wait-and-see forces to think about it. ”

"Instead of leaving Zhennanguan, the Jinsha Gang and the Bloody Clothes Gang took the opportunity to fight for territory."

"It only took less than two days to divide up the territory of the original Black Tiger Gang."

"It's really hateful!"

Song Xiucheng clenched his fists and said hatefully: "They are too arrogant!" ”

"I'm really not afraid of death."

Lu Fan was also a little angry, and snorted coldly: "How can the Lord Commander spare them? ”

"That's natural, they underestimate the Lords too much."

Song Xiucheng answered: "I thought that someone above put pressure on the Commander, and the Commander would give up?" No way! ”

"The Commander has long been determined to eradicate these scourges once and for all."

"Not only Zhennan Pass, within a radius of hundreds of miles, all the areas under the jurisdiction of our Zhennan Army must return the people to stability."

"When there is a war in the future, we will be able to better control this area."

"So, instead of giving up, the Commander will take immediate action."

"Show those forces who are waiting and seeing, what will happen if they go against Long Yingwei!"

Speaking of this, Song Xiucheng's expression was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Lord Commander has decided to take the Jinsha Gang. ”

"Good!"

Lu Fan agreed.

The contradiction between him and the Sands Gang was temporarily suppressed.

But that's just that both sides have their own scruples.

Hidden dangers are always there.

Maybe it will explode in the future.

If there is a chance to exterminate the Jinsha Gang, Lu Fan is absolutely in favor.

"I and the Commander both know that you have a holiday with the Sands Gang, so you have an important task entrusted to you."

Song Xiucheng said: "It's up to you to stir up the situation, take a trigger and move the whole body, stir up the whole situation, and take the opportunity to eradicate the Jinsha Gang rudder." ”

"Yes."

Lu Fan said loudly: "My subordinates take orders." ”

"Before that, I'll teach you gambling."

Song Xiucheng took out a few dice, put them in the palm of his hand, and asked with a smile, "Are you interested?" ”

"Oh?"

Lu Fan understood what the other party meant, and confirmed: "Start with the casino first?" ”

"That's right."

Song Xiucheng nodded, "Most of the casinos in the city are opened by the Jinsha Gang, and they earn countless amounts of silver every day, which can be regarded as the lifeblood of the Jinsha Gang." ”

"If you cut them in their lifeline, will it kill them?"

"We're going to start with their biggest casino, and we're going to catch them off guard."

"And your task is to use your gambling skills to win as much money as possible until they are in a hurry."

Speaking of this, Song Xiucheng smiled and asked, "How is it?" Is there confidence? ”

"No problem."

Lu Fan happily agreed.

"Okay, I'll start teaching you gambling now."

Song Xiucheng fiddled with the dice in his hand and said: "Gambling is actually not difficult, mainly relying on hands, eyes, and ears, with your current strength, I only need to teach a little, you can learn it." ”

"I'll start with the dice."

"The most important thing about dice is hearing."

"There's a trick here."

"Listen to me tell you slowly."

……

Ten days later.

August 13th.

Midday.

After lunch, Lu Fan and Su Mu walked on the way back to the dormitory.

Open the Properties panel.

Dexterity: 19.45

Cultivation for: six grades

In ten days, Lu Fan cultivated the alchemy technique to a small level, increasing his strength by 1 point and his physical strength by 2 points.

At the same time, due to the improvement of his gambling skills, his mental power increased by 3 points.

Coupled with the improvement of other skills, his agility has also increased slightly.

"Lu Fan, Su Mu."

Song Xiucheng stood in the distance and beckoned to the two.

"Captain."

The two ran over together.

"Follow me."

"Yes."

Song Xiucheng turned around and walked in front, followed by Lu Fan and Su Mu.

When they came to Song Xiucheng's residence, the three of them entered the house and closed the door casually.

"It's for both of you."

Song Xiucheng pointed to the chair, on which were two packages and a few clothes.

"You two should put it on first."

"Yes."

Lu Fan and Su Mu didn't ask much, took off their military uniforms, and changed into civilian clothes.

"There are a few ingots of silver in the package as gambling money."

Song Xiucheng found a chair and sat down, and said, "In addition, there is your identity nameplate, as well as a change of clothes." ”

"There are also some gadgets to help you disguise."

"This mission may not be a matter of one or two days, and you need to stay outside for a few more days."

"The identities are all fake, and there is no way to find them."

"Remember not to use your real name, especially Lu Fan."

"I will arrange for Ye Wuchen to answer you, no matter what news is, it will be passed on through him."

"You two will see when the opportunity comes."

Speaking of this, Song Xiucheng instructed: "Don't reveal your identity, so as not to startle the snake." ”

"Yes."

The two agreed in unison.

However, Lu Fan still had questions in his heart, "Captain, on the last mission, there were many people who saw me on Langui Street, so it will be okay, right?" ”

"I've thought about this question too."

Song Xiucheng pondered for a moment and said, "It's a small hidden danger." ”

"But there's really no better candidate, so I have to take a chance."

"After all, except for you and Ye Wuchen, the strength of the others is a little worse, and if something happens, you can't get out of it."

"And Ye Wuchen is more suitable to be a connector, and the final candidate can only be you."

"It's not a big problem, though."

"On Langui Street that day, although many people saw you, they were far away, and after so many days, they had long forgotten what you looked like."

"Besides, people who are good gamblers rarely have the leisure to go shopping, let alone watch the excitement."

"If you disguise yourself a little, no one will be able to recognize you."

"After leaving the barracks, be careful not to be targeted."

Song Xiucheng continued: "It's best to go to Qinzhu Street, find an inn to live in first, and then go to the casino. ”

"Understood."

Lu Fan and Su Mu nodded together.

Both of them have learned camouflage and can change their appearance.

You should be able to hide it from others.

Song Xiucheng instructed a few more words, and then waved his hand, "Okay, let's go." ”

"Yes."

Lu Fan and Su Mu took the package and turned to leave.

Taking advantage of the lack of people at noon, the two quickly left the barracks.

Along the way, they were both extremely careful to make sure that there was no one to watch, and then found a place to stop.

Opening the package, the two men each took out a nameplate representing their identity.

Lu Fan's pseudonym is Lu Xuan, he is twenty-five years old this year and comes from a small family.

Su Mu's pseudonym is Su Li, he is twenty-six years old this year, and he is also from a small family.

The two are fellow villagers, both from Nanzhaocheng, and the reason why they came to Nanguan together is to come to see if there is a chance to do some small business.

Of course, their identities are fake, and if they send someone to Nanzhao City to investigate, they will not be able to find out.

"Stained with you again."

Su Mu smiled: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to participate in such an important task. ”

Lu Fan didn't speak, he took out various props from the package and began to disguise himself.

Change your skin tone to make yourself more mature.

Then he added a little wrinkles, a little beard to his lips, and he became a man in his twenties.

Su Mu on the other side also changed his appearance in an instant.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Even if they are acquaintances, they can't recognize the two of them at first glance.

Not to mention Xiu Rui, he only has a one-sided relationship with Lu Fan, and it is impossible to recognize him.

"Don't forget the voice, change it a little bit too."

Lu Fan reminded.

"yes, I know."

Su Mu nodded, "Let's go." ”

"Okay."

The two continued on their way.
