In order to strengthen the Daqian Bridge, the Lord of the Eight Kings City found many craftsmen, and it took a total of more than two months to build the Daqian Bridge into its later appearance. Although the cliff belongs to the realm of the demon clan, there doesn't seem to be any powerful demon clan nearby. Even so, no one dared to set foot on the Daqian Bridge.

It didn't take long for the Eight Kings Camp to be built. After it was completed, there was no need for so many people, so half of the lower-level demon cultivators were transferred elsewhere, leaving only about forty people to guard the camp. The people who stayed were personally selected by the Qin commanders, and both Zhao Xianglin and Zheng Huaili were selected.

After walking out of the commander's small building, Zhao Xianglin asked Zheng Huaili: "What team are you divided into?"

"I'll take a look. Zheng Huaili flipped through the name tag he had just received, "Service team." What about you?"

"I'm also on the service team. I don't know what this service team does?"

"I don't know. In short, he is directly under the orders of the Qin commander, and he will arrange it when the time comes. ”

Zhao Xianglin approached Zheng Huaili and asked in a low voice: "I have also asked others, what is the quarry, the garrison, it is very clear when you hear the name." Only this service team feels quite strange. Isn't it because of your repair of the Great Thousand Bridge this time that Commander Qin lost face in front of the Eight Kings City Lord, so he plans to give you small shoes to wear?"

Zheng Huaili smiled confidently: "No, now the fame of Daqian Bridge has spread around, and in the streets and alleys, people are running to tell each other, only saying that the Bawang Camp has built a great rope bridge." In this way, the credit and praise are naturally counted on the head of the Qin commander. Besides, the rebuilt project is still the materials and manpower personally approved by the Shen City Lord of the Eight Kings City, where is the Qin Commander losing face?"

"Come on, you're still 'running to tell each other', you're really thick-skinned. Zhao Xianglin couldn't help but sarcastically said, "I have also heard the rumors outside, but it is said that the people of the Bawang Camp have spent time and effort to build an extremely dangerous rope bridge, and they don't even dare to go." Could this be regarded as a long face for Commander Qin?"

"Taking a step back, it doesn't hurt even if the situation is really the way you say. We're new to the city, and we haven't had a chance yet. When the opportunity comes, the relationship can naturally improve. One day, I will hold the Eight Kings Camp in my hands!" Zheng Huaili clenched his fists, confident.

"Beware of walking around if you can't eat!" Zhao Xianglin looked at his face, not knowing what he meant by "good opportunity".

Since the day after the assignment was completed, the operation of the Eight Kings Camp was on the right track, and everyone performed their duties. The position held by the "mysterious" service team is also clear from the mouth of Commander Qin - it is actually a chorre to clean up the environment inside and outside the camp. Weeding in spring, watering flowers in summer, leaf sweeping in autumn, and snow clearing in winter. In addition to these light tasks, the construction of new houses and the opening of mountain roads and other heavy work are also handled by the service team. What's even more outrageous is that the service team is still responsible for the service of the chief and deputy commanders and several captains.

Since there was only one woman in the service team and even the entire camp, Commander Qin asked her to do the task of daily service. Cutting out the fixed three hours of cultivation time every morning, Zhao Xianglin spent almost all of her time cleaning and tidying up the houses.

I don't know if the Qin commander deliberately "cared for" Zheng Huaili, but he was sent to open a mountain road down to the abyss on the west side, saying that it was so that in the future, the search team, quarrying team, and gold exploration team could easily go down to the bottom of the abyss to mine stone and money. But unfortunately, the work was arranged for him to do alone. Zhao Xianglin felt that he was right, and Commander Qin was clearly deliberately embarrassing Zheng Huaili. Zheng Huaili himself didn't particularly mind this, and he often said "waiting for an opportunity", but whenever Zhao Xianglin asked him what "opportunity" it was, Zheng Huaili only smiled lightly and didn't say it explicitly.

One day at dusk, Zhao Xianglin had just come out of the stone building under the command of Qin, and happened to meet Zheng Huaili walking inside, carrying a few small jars of wine in his hand.

Zhao Xianglin asked suspiciously, "This is what Commander Qin ordered you to buy?" But he went to the Shen City Lord early in the morning!"

"I know. I heard that a big man came from above, it seems to be a general, and Commander Qin went to receive it. Zheng Huaili's information has always been very well-informed, which Zhao Xianglin found very strange, and he himself explained that this is the unique sensitivity of people who have been in business with all kinds of news.

Zhao Xianglin laughed: "Then didn't you send this wine to the wrong place?"

"You don't understand that. The general just came today, of course, accompanied by the city lord and commander, he will take the wind and wash the dust, first settle down in the city of eight kings, and then come to our camp of eight kings tomorrow to inspect. With the city lord and the commander as a companion, I must have gone to the best restaurant to have a drink! What is my little wine? Wouldn't I be beaten out by the commander if I send it over?"

Zhao Xianglin was even more puzzled: "Then who did you give this wine to?

"Haha, you think beautifully!" Zheng Huaili saved Zhao Xianglin's forehead, "I don't have the habit of encouraging a girl to drink." Didn't I just say that the general will spend the night in the Eight Kings City tonight, and will come to the Eight Kings Camp tomorrow to inspect, but Commander Qin will inevitably come back for the night, and he has to arrange all the relevant affairs in the camp in order to welcome the general. These small wines with different flavors of mine are prepared for Commander Qin. ”

Zhao Xianglin pursed his lips: "The commander of Qin and the city lord of Shen gave the general a big banquet, and the wine at the banquet is not better than your little wine?

"You're wrong again. The protagonist of the reception banquet is the general, how dare Commander Qin be greedy? Besides, if he has to stay awake and return to the camp to arrange tomorrow's important events, he will definitely not drink too much. When he came back and made arrangements and his heart was at ease, it was time to recall the delicious wine and food that he had tasted at the banquet just now. But it's getting late, and it's not worth it to go back to the Eight Kings City for this, and the regret can only be endured. Wouldn't it be beautiful if I offered these jars of fragrant but not intoxicating sake at this time, which would not only quench the cravings in my stomach but also prevent me from getting a hangover all night?

Zheng Huaili laughed proudly.

"You're thinking about it quite well, but it's a pity that I'm missing one point: sake is no better than alcohol or spirits, and if you don't have snacks, you will feel less flavorful in your mouth, and the more you drink, the lighter it becomes. So I guess most of the 'little wine banquet' you arranged tonight will be unhappy!"

"Yo, you don't drink, but you know a lot about wine. Do you think I won't be able to think of this? When I went to buy wine, I had already instructed the restaurant to prepare the dishes, and when the time came, I would definitely send them up the mountain. ”

Zhao Xianglin was speechless for a while, she was completely convinced. From beginning to end, Zheng Huaili's "guess" is reasonable, and his "test" is well-founded, his "business head" is indeed not comparable to a girl like himself who is not deeply involved in the world.

"I see. Perhaps this is the 'opportunity' you've been waiting for? Zhao Xianglin said.

"Oh, what kind of opportunity is this? It's just a small thing I occasionally discover. Unexpectedly, Zheng Huaili was very disapproving.

Zhao Xianglin suddenly remembered what he had said: "One day, I will hold the Eight Kings Camp in my hands!"

Around three o'clock, Commander Qin returned to the camp in a hurry, and everything was as Zheng Huaili had guessed. Of course, his preparation this time also had the desired effect. After tasting the sake and delicacies, Commander Qin was very satisfied, and immediately issued an order, so that Zheng Huaili did not have to repair the road from the next day, but stayed in the camp and was at his disposal.

Since then, Commander Qin's bad impression of Zheng Huaili has been swept away, and the delicate Zheng Huaili always seems to be able to "guess" what Commander Qin thinks, and often has arranged things properly before Commander Qin has given an order, which makes Commander Qin praise him a lot, and the relationship between the two has become closer and closer. It didn't take long for everyone in the camp to know that Zheng Huaili had become a confidant in the true sense of the word of Commander Qin, but whenever Commander Qin had affairs, no matter how big or small, they would consult with him, and the deputy commander had been completely put aside and became a false position.

Commander Qin also felt that the establishment of the deputy commander was a bit of an "eyesore", and it was obvious that he had already agreed with Zheng Huaili, and according to the rules, he had to inform the deputy commander again. If it weren't for Zheng Huaili's lack of strength and qualifications, Commander Qin would have wanted to directly promote him to the position of deputy commander.

The deputy commander is not a fool, and when he saw that the Qin commander almost regarded himself as a useless person, he was inevitably dissatisfied with Zheng Huaili in his heart. In his opinion, Zheng Huaili is a villain who is very good at slapping horses, relying on the weight of Commander Qin to do something beyond his scope of authority, and Commander Qin prefers to believe in it. In the long run, Zheng Huaili will sooner or later become the real controller of the Eight Kings Camp. Out of kindness to Commander Qin, and out of a sense of responsibility for his position, the deputy commander talked to Commander Qin. Unexpectedly, Commander Qin's bias and reliance on Zheng Huaili completely exceeded the deputy commander's expectations, not only protecting him everywhere, but also bluntly expressing his dissatisfaction with the deputy commander. As a result, the conversation broke up unhappily, and Commander Qin became more and more tired of the deputy commander's "eyesore".

It didn't take long for Commander Qin to casually find a spurious reason to report to his superiors and remove him from his post as deputy commander. He wanted to promote Zheng Huaili, but he was worried that it would be difficult to convince the public, so he first promoted Zheng Huaili to the captain of the service team, and the position of deputy commander was temporarily vacant. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zheng Huaili is in the position of captain, but he is fulfilling the position of deputy commander. Therefore, the people in the camp were very polite when they met Zheng Huaili.

In Zhao Xianglin's view, Zheng Huaili had already waited for that "opportunity", he seized it, and he succeeded. But Zheng Huaili only smiled. "Maybe when he sits in the position of commander, he will really feel that he has succeeded!" Zhao Xianglin often thought.

Perhaps because of Zheng Huaili's relationship, Commander Qin's attitude towards Zhao Xianglin has also improved a lot, and she has been transferred from the service team doing odd jobs and assigned to the supply team with relatively easy tasks. But one thing is very strange, the cleaning of the stone building where Commander Qin lives is still in charge of Zhao Xianglin. Commander Qin's explanation for this is: It is more suitable for this kind of meticulous work to be done by a girl, who let her be the only woman in the camp?

Later, something happened. It is precisely because of this incident that Zhao Xianglin's impression of Zheng Huaili has completely changed.

Although the cliff on the west side of the Eight Kings Camp belongs to the realm of the demon clan, there has been no discovery of any powerful demon clan. Over time, the courage of the people in the camp gradually increased, and when the money and stone mines around the camp were almost explored and excavated, the three teams of search, quarrying, and gold exploration began to cross the Daqian Bridge and march towards the opposite cliff. With the expansion and deepening of the exploration area, finally, the human race and the demon race met.

According to the report of those who fled back to the camp, it was a group of demon beasts that lived in a deep valley more than seventy miles away, although they had not yet cultivated into human form, their strength was not weak, and they bit and devoured several people. In fact, most of these people who sent out the camp were low-level demon cultivators, but if they encountered a slightly more powerful demon clan, there would definitely be no good results, and besides, it was the human race that set foot in the demon clan realm first.

"In my opinion, I can't get any closer to that valley in the future. Sending some people who are not enough to protect themselves into the Demon Realm is a mistake in itself. Fortunately, those demon beasts only lived in the valley and did not come out to hurt people. Zhao Xianglin stood at the head of the Daqian Bridge and looked at the opposite cliff.

"Did the dead die in vain?" Zheng Huaili on the side glanced at her.

Zhao Xianglin was silent for a moment, and then said, "Then I suggest that Commander Qin organize a group of three-talented, four-elephant-level masters to exterminate those demon beasts and avenge the dead." However, I'm a little worried that this will lead to more demon beasts, or even demon masters, after all, we don't know what the situation is in the depths of the valley. ”

"Oh, that's better. Lin'er, the opportunity I've been waiting for has finally come!" Zheng Huaili was so excited that he was gearing up.

Zhao Xianglin asked in surprise, "What did you call me just now?"

"Uh...... I'm sorry

I was so happy that I blurted out. Zheng Huaili smiled awkwardly, "But I know you won't be angry." Isn't it, Lin'er?"

Zhao Xianglin lowered her head shyly and fiddled with the corners of her clothes. The glow of the sunset sprinkled the earth, and her face was as red as the fiery clouds on the horizon.

Zheng Huaili boldly took her into his arms. Zhao Xianglin only symbolically resisted twice, and then buried his face in his chest happily.

"Lin'er, I have a bold plan that is enough to change the future of you, me, and even the entire Eight Kings Camp. Zheng Huaili was full of ambition.

"Tell me about it. ”

"This attack has given us a perfect reason. I would like to take the opportunity to suggest that Commander Qin declare to his superiors and open up a new demon extermination battlefield here in the Eight Kings Camp!" Zheng Huaili said in a shocking voice.

Zhao Xianglin raised his head and looked even more surprised than just now: "Demon Eradication Battlefield? How is it possible! Just those demon beasts, both in strength and number are too different!"

"But someone died, didn't they?" Zheng Huaili looked into her eyes, "Their death has to have some value. Who said that the battlefield of exterminating demons must be in a dangerous place? If the opponent is too powerful, how can a 'low-hander' like us dare to remove the demon? Only the current situation is the most suitable for us to accumulate meritorious deeds. As for the number, like you said, no one knows what's going on in the depths of the valley, maybe the number of demon beasts is amazing?"

"This ...... Based on your guess, can it work?" Zhao Xianglin hesitated.

"Heh, you don't understand that. It doesn't really matter whether the number of demon beasts is large or small, it just depends on what Commander Qin says when he arrives. If he says more, then it must be more. It's like buying and selling, if the seller insists that it is a treasure, then it must be a 'treasure'. If the seller himself doesn't believe it, how can the buyer believe it?" said Zheng Huaili proudly.

"However, what if a master is sent from above to directly exterminate those demon beasts?"

"No, it won't. I'm sure there will be no few monsters to live in, and there will be more near the valley or further afield. When the demon clan is attracted one after another, it is a good opportunity for us to make a contribution. It is inevitable to transfer manpower from above, but it is not necessarily a master, after all, there has not yet been a demon clan that has cultivated into a human form. The real masters are all fighting in other demon slaying battlefields to obtain meritorious deeds, how can they bother to come to us to slaughter any demon beasts? For specific details, after a few days, when Commander Qin is busy with the things in hand, I will find an opportunity to discuss it carefully with him. Lin'er, just wait for my good news!" After speaking, Zheng Huaili waved at Zhao Xianglin and left in a hurry.

"I hope it's going to be good news......" Zhao Xianglin muttered as she looked at the towering mountains in the distance.

......

"Open up a battlefield to eliminate demons......? Will it work?" Commander Qin was also quite surprised by Zheng Huaili's suggestion.

"As far as I know, there are generally two situations in the opening up of demon extermination battlefields in the past: first, there are places where demon clan masters appear, and second, there are places where a large number of demon clans gather. Although the demon clan here is all demon beasts, in terms of quantity, it can be virtual and real, and it doesn't have to be real. Zheng Huaili said.

Commander Qin shook his head: "You're thinking too simply. If there are not enough demon orbs to hand in, I will have to bear the blame. It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate. ”

"Commander, no one knows how many demon clans there are, maybe if you continue to explore westward, more demon clans will be drawn? For example, the demon clan was defeated and fled in all directions. At that time, we will open up the territory of my demon race, and then dig out a few money mines at will, heh, will the boss still blame you?"

Commander Qin pondered in his stomach, what Zheng Huaili said did have some truth, but he didn't understand a little, what was Zheng Huaili's plan?" "Even if you open up the demon eradication battlefield, with your strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with some powerful demon beasts." Besides, the quality of the demon spirit orb of the demon beast is too inferior, and it can't get much merit. Opening up the battlefield won't do you much good!" Commander Qin asked suspiciously.

With Zheng Huaili's wit, how could he not hear what was in Commander Qin's words, looking like he was asking what was good for Zheng Huaili, but he was actually asking what was good for himself. So, Zheng Huaili said calmly: "I'm not only for myself, but also for our Eight Kings Camp. When the camp was first established, it was necessary to find a good opportunity to spread some fame. First of all, if a demon extermination battlefield is opened nearby, whether it is the materials that are allocated or the money and rewards distributed to us, it will be much more; secondly, after all, the Eight Kings Camp is not the place where we will die, if this place can become famous, it will also be beneficial to our future after being transferred out in the future; At the level of the five elements, when you can set foot on the more advanced demon extermination battlefield, you will inevitably save a lot of merits than others; finally, after opening up the battlefield, the Eight Kings City and our Eight Kings Camp will build fortifications, and the abyss on the west side of the camp is our unique moat, so we will save a lot of money...... Hehe, Commander Qin is a smart person, so I don't need to elaborate on it!"

Commander Qin stood up excitedly and patted Zheng Huaili on the shoulder: "Good boy, let's say, how many accounts do we have?"

Zheng Huaili grinned and said, "I don't want any points, as long as Commander Qin remembers to be promoted." ”

"Haha! It's easy to say, the position of deputy commander was originally reserved for you, just waiting for your strength to improve. Commander Qin laughed.

Zheng Huaili said with a straight face: "But I'm afraid this matter can't be hidden from the Shen City Lord." The Commander also has to think of a countermeasure, either drag him into the water or shut him up. ”

Commander Qin nodded: "I have a number." Anyway, I'll find a time to meet him in a few days, and I'll find out what he has to say first. ”
