Chapter 294: Forming an Army
Qin Wen's mind quickly flashed one after another reasons that could explain the absorption of the Spirit Eagle Stone, but he rejected them one by one, he knew that Lu Lao's understanding of the Spirit Eagle Stone in front of Lu Dao was far beyond the scope of his own imagination, and once the explanation could not convince Lu Lao, it could only become more and more black.
Suddenly, his heart thought of the Lubao tribe that produced the Spirit Eagle Stone, and then he thought of En Ning's special induction of the Spirit Eagle Stone, so his heart moved, and when Ji Chang finished speaking, Qin Wen sorted out the thoughts in his heart and said: "Lu Lao, this matter of extracting the Spirit Eagle Stone Spiritual Qi is not something that I don't want to say, but it also implicates another monk in my mansion." ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Qin Wen knew that he was right, and all of these monks were interested in the aura that the saint-rank monks could use, so he continued to speak: "There is another monk in my mansion, he has been sensing the Spirit Eagle Stone since he was a child, but he can't practice normally, and all the Taoist skills are useless to him at all. ”
"I found him a book of demon cultivation eyes, once he suddenly found that he could use his eyes to extract a little spirit eagle stone aura, I asked him to put these auras into a closed space magic weapon, I didn't expect this aura to be useful for Ji Gongzi's condition, so I took out the aura for Ji Gongzi to absorb, and now the aura that has been accumulated for two years has been used up by Ji Gongzi, and during this time, he is still accumulating. ”
After listening to Qin Wen's words, Lu Lao couldn't help but nod and said: "It turns out that you are not using magic weapons to absorb the spiritual energy of the Spirit Eagle Stone, this kind of demon cultivator's skill of absorbing the spiritual energy in spiritual objects is also a big faction in the demon clan, why didn't I think of it before? Xiao Qin, thank you for reminding me." However, this method of using artificial furnaces to absorb spiritual energy is not advocated by our Taoist cultivators. Don't fall for the demons in your heart. ”
Qin Wen also nodded hurriedly and said: "Thank you Lu Lao for your advice, this monk in my mansion who cultivates the skills of the demon clan used to be regarded as a demon cultivator and an alien by others outside the city of expulsion, and he has also developed a somewhat extreme character, I am afraid that in the city of expulsion, our Taoist cultivators will not be compatible with him." So I didn't dare to say it just now. ”
He Lao smiled faintly and said: "Xiao Qin, you are too worried about this, it is indeed like what you said outside, the demon cultivation is regarded as an alien by our Taoist cultivation, but after arriving in the city of expulsion, you will come into contact with more demon cultivation, and you will find that in fact, the demon cultivation is not different from our Taoist cultivation, but the cognitive skills of cultivation are not the same path." ”
At this time, the maid outside shook her steps. He walked in with the dishes in his hand, put the wine and food on the table, and left in a fluttering manner, He Lao waved his hand and said, "Come, let's talk while eating." ”
Qin Wen's face hesitated slightly: "Old He, this time the private field failed, when I came out with Shi Yu and Zhao Steward, the people in my house didn't see it. I'm afraid that the family will send someone to the private field to find it when the time comes, and I want Shi Yu to go back and arrange it. So as not to have another conflict with the demon cultivator. ”
Steward Zhao also got up at this time and echoed: "Now my son-in-law is also uncertain, and I am also afraid that the head of the family will be worried in the mansion, so it is better to let Brother Shi also go to my mansion to pass the message." ”
He Lao waved his hand slightly and said: "You don't have to worry about these little things, you are a guest in my house, you can just eat, I will send someone to your house to talk about it." Come. As he spoke, he called a monk of the Xuanshi realm who looked like a steward, and after a few words, the steward left in a hurry.
After three rounds of drinking, Lu Lao asked Steward Zhao, "Xiao Zhao." I see that you are very familiar with commanding the monks today, what did you do before you came to the Expulsion City?
Steward Zhao hurriedly got up and replied: "Old Lu, my name is Zhao Wu, I used to be a general of the southeastern vassal state of Great Qi, due to the busy military affairs, I didn't have time to practice, so I went to the Ziyun Mountain Range first, where I was too old and couldn't enter the sect, so I had to sell some magic weapons, elixirs and the like outside to maintain my cultivation." ”
"However, in a transaction, I had a conflict with the disciples of a small sect nearby, and I killed the only son of an elder in the sect, and I was chased and killed here after the last time, and I have been the steward of the private field in the Zhao Mansion all these years. ”
After listening to Steward Zhao's description of his own experience, Lu Lao and He Lao couldn't help but glance at each other, and then looked at Ji Chang with inquiring eyes, Ji Chang also nodded busily, and then Ji Chang spoke: "Xiao Zhao, Lu Lao and He Lao in front of you are both deacons of our Dongcheng, and after we watched the battle for private land today, we suddenly had an idea. ”
"In the West City and the North City, in addition to the patrol monks who maintain order, there is also a team to resist the idle monks in other urban areas or the mountains and forests outside, our Eastern City has always been in a disadvantageous position among the three urban districts, and the flow of monks is relatively frequent, so this kind of team has not been established. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Chang glanced at the other two deacons, and saw that Lu Lao and He Lao did not show displeased expressions, so he continued: "So the three of us are also preparing to set up such a team in Dongcheng, the monks are very easy to find, each family has three or five people, and they can easily gather thousands of people, but the generals who lead the troops are a little difficult to find, today we see that you are more familiar with leading troops, so we want to ask your opinion." ”
After listening to what Ji Chang said, Steward Zhao suddenly blushed with excitement, to be able to lead such a team, it can be said that his status is rising in a straight line, the private field manager of a small family, and he has become the leader of the three deacons in Dongcheng, and even the head of a medium-sized family will be respectful to himself in the future.
However, he did not lose his temper, but said cautiously: "The three deacons attach so much importance to the subordinates, it really makes the subordinates panic inexplicably, but now there is a contract with the Zhao Mansion in the subordinates, if you leave now, it is also a little inappropriate, today I see that the Qin family master also has a high attainment in leading the troops, this general is better to let the Qin family master be more suitable." ”
The three deacons set their eyes on Qin Wen at this time, Qin Wen was not very interested in this kind of training and fighting, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Steward Zhao praised it, I only went through a few battles before coming to the City of Expulsion, if you want to say that the systematic training of soldiers is also a layman, besides, I have too many things at home now, and I even have to take time to refine the pill, you are the most suitable person now." ”
The three deacons listened to Qin Wen's words, and then looked at Qin Wen's expression, which was not modest and humble, Lu Lao said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, the master of the Qin family is practicing the Dan Dao, and he is not as abundant as you in terms of time, as for the matter of the contract between you and the Zhao family, there is no problem, just let Xiao Ji talk about it when the time comes." ”
"But there is one more point, we set up this team, it is only a preliminary test, the three of us are preparing to give you half of the jade rune, as for the other half of the jade rune in the hands of the three of us, only with the half of the jade rune, can this army be mobilized, so as not to be chaotic in management, you have to remember this rule, so as not to appear public and private use." ”
Steward Zhao knew in his heart that as long as it was decided by these three deacons in Dongcheng, no one should be able to resist, and as for the head of his family, he probably wouldn't have thought that such a thing would happen, so Steward Zhao hurriedly bowed down and said, "Zhao Wu obeys the orders of the three deacons. ”
He Lao waved his hand slightly and said: "You sit down first, Lao Lu also said just now, this is just the advance idea of the three of us, as for the specific location, we are going to set it in the southeast of the city first, on the hillside when we temporarily discussed, Xiao Ji said that it is not far from Xiao Qin's manor, and if there is training in the future, Xiao Qin can also go to assist." ”
Qin Wen didn't expect that the location of this military camp would be near his manor, but this is also common sense, after all, there is no big enough place in the east city, and the west is too close to the west city, and the north is too close to the north city, and the most suitable location is the southeast corner, but this is also good, and he will have a good relationship with Zhao Wu in the future, and he will have another guarantee for the safety of his manor.
Qin Wen also got up at this time and arched his hand: "Steward Zhao is an expert in leading troops, so I won't get an axe, but if there is anything I need help with in logistics, the manor is nearby, and I will tell the steward of the manor when I go back, and I can send someone to the manor at any time when the time comes." ”
Speaking of this, Qin Wen asked inquiringly: "Old He, I don't know how many people each family needs to produce in this military source? Now that you have received the news in the next few years, you can prepare after you go back." ”
He Lao waved his hand and smiled: "Xiao Qin's abacus is very good, as soon as our leader of the army found it, he thought of the matter of sending people, okay, since you asked, I will first tell you about the plan that was roughly discussed, after this barracks is built, I will first send people according to the family, and each family will first be fixed to five monks of the upper rank of the Xuanshi, and the military food will be supplemented by the taxes of Dongcheng." ”
"However, after these five monks entered the barracks, they had nothing to do with the original family, and all actions had to follow the arrangements in the barracks, and if they were killed or wounded in battle, they would receive a pension, what do you think?"
Qin Wen nodded and said: "There is no problem with our Qin family, when to recruit soldiers, just go directly to my manor, and I will select five potential monks to enter the barracks." ”
Next, everyone discussed some details of the formation of the military camp while eating in the hall, and the wine was drunk until dawn, and Ji Chang took Qin Wen and a few people out of the Hefu Manor and flew away in the southeast direction. (To be continued......)
