Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 220 Thousand Military Captains
A great victory in Jade Bead City brought a ray of light to the Great Xia warriors who had been silent in the clouds of death. These Terran warriors have rediscovered their long-lost faith and glory.
Especially when they saw that the person who brought this victory to the human race turned out to be the seemingly young sword boy in front of them.
These changes in Chang Sheng's army also ignited hope in Chang Poyu's heart, and he gradually forgot the worry of not seeing reinforcements for a long time. He shouted Xiang Bei directly into his big tent,
"I've considered your suggestion, from now on, you don't have to borrow Geng Zhong's waist card anymore. As he spoke, Chang Poyu asked his entourage to bring out a tray with a red lacquer base, and on top of the tray, there was a brand-new yellow, orange and orange waist card.
Xiang Bei took the bronze medal, put it in his hand heavily, turned the sign over and looked at it, there was a line of small characters written on it, "Xiang Beiqianjun, the vanguard captain of Daxia Changsheng".
"This?" Xiang Bei hesitated for a moment, and carefully put the brass waist card back.
"What's the matter, do you think that my Great Xia Qianjun has wronged you?" Chang Poyu's face sank, as if he was displeased.
Geng Zhong on the side saw the gold words on the waist card, and was sincerely happy for his young hero's brother. He saw that Chang Polu was angry, took the waist card, and forced it into Xiang Bei's hand.
"General Chang cherishes his brother's talents, and when I am employing people in Daxia, brother, you have to do it yourself!"
There are nearly 10,000 victorious troops in Jinsha City, including 5,000 people from Jinsha Captain Lu Jichuan, which means that Lu Jichuan has only 5,000 military captains.
In Chang Po's hands, there were 2,000 remnants of Chang Sheng's army brought back from Tianyao, plus some men and horses who returned one after another, as well as Geng Zhong's 500 horse team. There are nearly 3,000 men and horses. The formation of the Great Xia army is divided into the squad leader of the ten-man team, the centurion of the hundred-man team, and the thousand-man army of the thousand-man team.
After the destruction of Tianyao City, several Changshengqian military captains who followed Tianyao Captain Lu Kefa, Che Cavalry Captain Jia Bu led his troops to withdraw into Shuiquan, Tunbu Captain Du Wei followed Lu Kefa and Tianyao to fall together, and Hu Ben Captain Tong Meng also died in Shekou Gorge.
After the integration of this army, Chang Po suffered from the lack of generals, so he had to divide the 3,000 men and horses in his hands into two, led by Yang Sheng and Geng Zhong.
Seeing that Xiang Bei didn't seem to appreciate it, Chang Poyu was unhappy in his heart, and he held back his strength and sighed, "It seems that my Daxia Changsheng can't keep a talent like Shaoxia......" Then, without being verbose, he raised his legs and walked out of the tent.
Geng Zhong on the side insisted on stuffing the waist card into Xiang Bei's hand, he saw that there were no outsiders in the tent, and lowered his voice to persuade Xiang Bei, "Brother, do you know how many heads you need to exchange for the name of a thousand troops in the border army? General Chang really cherished your talent, so he was exceptionally promoted." ”
"I understand this, Brother Geng Zhong. Xiang Bei's brows tightened, and he also hid his worries in his heart.
"It's just that I'm a cultivator, and I have a family teacher, and I can't help myself. ”
"Where is this, brother, since your master is willing to fight against the demon army together, then you, as our victorious army, can play a greater role, and he will definitely agree. ”
Xiang Bei thought about Tianen's gloomy black face, and thought that it was still inappropriate, so he shook his head and resolutely refused to accept it.
Geng Zhong was in a hurry, and grabbed the waist card again, "Brother, I'll tell you the truth." This waist card is not only an official position, but also a responsibility, you have the ability to shoulder responsibility, then you should take this responsibility. ”
Xiang Bei actually understood what Geng Zhong meant by responsibility. Since Chang Sheng met the demon army, he has been defeated in successive battles, coupled with the word of mouth of those displaced people who have been defeated and retreated from the northwest realm, so that the entire Kyushu firmly believes that the demon army is unstoppable and invincible.
Xiang Bei insisted on retaking Jade Pearl City, precisely to break this curse, and at the same time, to better contain the demon forces that were still gathering in front. But it was also this victory that gave people the strength to defeat the demon army.
Xiang Bei is this power, and he can't shirk this responsibility.
Geng Zhong added, "Actually, it's more than that. Do you know who broke my ass last time?"
Lifting his buttocks, Xiang Bei's eyes saw Geng Zhong lying on the bed with two pieces of flesh and blood blurred buttocks, and he resisted the urge to laugh, because Geng Zhong didn't look like a joke.
"Although General Chang is the governor of the five armies, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and this is actually the territory of Captain Lu Jichuan of Jinsha. My 500 victorious cavalry troops were seconded from him to investigate the sandworms. Moreover, in order to prevent the secrets in Jinsha City from leaking out, General Chang forbade the homeless people to enter Jinsha, including the family members of Lord Lu. Although Lord Lu did not show his dissent, the last time I let you into the city without permission, I was called Ma Zheng by a thousand troops under him, and asked General Chang to deal with my military law on the spot. ”
Xiang Bei really didn't know what Geng Zhong said, but when General Chang commanded and dispatched the Jinsha garrison, he used Geng Zhong and Yang Sheng more, which others could see.
"Speaking of which, you should be grateful to this Lord Ma Zheng, right?" Xiang Bei teased.
Geng Zhong didn't come back to his senses for a while, "Well, he reminded me not to offend others casually in the future." ”
"That's not what it means, Brother Geng Zhong, you have always had the most ghost ideas, why is your head not bright now, if it weren't for this Lord Ma, how could you have the opportunity to use the healing elixir of the eldest grandson sister?"
Geng Zhong understood what Xiang Bei meant, and his old face turned red, but he remembered to ask, "The gouache that I asked you to bring to their sisters last time, brother, did you bring it for me?"
"Well, but the eldest grandson and sister asked me to tell you that next time you want to give a gift, you have to send it yourself, so that you can show your sincerity. ”
Geng Zhong nodded, and then realized that he had digressed, and then said, "Brother, you are in the limelight now, how many victorious soldiers have found hope in you, if you lead another army of thousands, although it will not crush Lu Jichuan's arrogance, but at least we can compete with him." ”
It turned out that making Xiang Bei a captain of a thousand military cadets was not only what everyone expected, but also a strategy to kill three birds with one stone.
"Then I'd better go back and ask Master. Xiang Bei finally fully understood the powerful relationship between this, although he no longer shirked, but he still had to ask Tian'en first, after all, this old stubborn has always resolutely opposed the union of cultivating immortals and the human army.
When Xiang Bei found Tianen, the ghost doctor was healing Qin Luoyu's injuries. Qin Luoyu's bloodless face was still as pale as paper, but fortunately, he was much more conscious.
Although she didn't have the aggressive look of the past, her long hair that had been coiled behind her head was spread out and hung down to her chest, and she looked a lot more immature.
Because the ghost doctor was still concentrating on piercing the silver needles into Qin Luoyu's meridians one by one, the two did not talk, but looked at each other and smiled.
One seems to be asking, "Are you feeling better?"
The other replied, "It's better." ”
After the treatment, Tianen deliberately took out those silver needles one by one, collected a small bag of silver needles, and motioned Xiang Bei to come outside the tent to speak.
"What are you looking for me?" Tianen's tone in the face of Xiang Bei was always so cold. But Xiang Bei thought that this strange old man had privately told Shikong to protect himself, and he began to feel that the heavenly grace under this stinky face didn't seem to be so annoying.
Xiang Bei took out the waist card that Chang Poyu had created for him.
"Uncle Tian'en, your disciples dare not forget. As he spoke, he handed the waist card to Tianen's hand.
Tianen took the waist card in his hand and looked at it again, but he seemed to have a premonition and did not show surprise. After looking at the waist card carefully, Tianen returned the waist card to Xiang Bei,
"What are you going to do?" After a long silence, Tianen finally broke the silence and the barrier between him and Xiang Bei.
"The disciple obeys the teacher's orders and does not dare to make decisions on his own. ”
"Hmph. Tian'en habitually snorted coldly, "I can't stand your top hat and don't dare to call the shots?" Then how did you take the Jade Pearl City? Don't dare to call the shots, what are you doing with this brand back?"
Xiang Bei patiently listened to Tianen's nagging, and still respectfully bowed, "Thank you Uncle for your teachings, disciple understands." ”
Picking up the waist card, Xiang Bei turned around and was about to hand it back to Geng Zhong, but there was a reprimand from Tian'en behind him, "If you are really so obedient, Yuzhu City is still in the hands of those beast riders at this moment." ”
Tianen always said something to Xiang Bei in a cold tone that made him scratch his head, just like at this moment, Xiang Bei also had to stop and speculate about what Tianen wanted to say.
Seeing that he was a little confused, Tianen patiently explained to him unprecedentedly,
"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected. You don't have to ask me for everything. But do good deeds, don't ask about the future. We in the Heavenly Seal Realm keep doing things, but we want to be worthy of our hearts. ”
"Okay, uncle, I'll take this errand. Xiang Bei seriously pinned his waist card to his waist, he was not greedy for the temptation of a thousand troops in Great Xia, but wanted to help Geng Zhong deal with the complicated situation in front of Jinsha.
The nearly 100 Xuanjia Shence guards brought back by Xiang Bei from Nanjun, plus the 1,000 men and horses that Chang Po gave him, all greatly increased Xiang Bei's confidence. After finishing the affairs of the army, he trotted all the way back to the camp, wanting to share his joy before taking office with Qin Luoyu, who blocked the danger in his application.
At this time, Tian'en was gone, and there was only a candlestick in the tent with a flame the size of a bean. Xiang Bei waited in front of Qin Luoyu's bed for a while, and found that the fairy seemed to be sleeping soundly, Xiang Bei couldn't bear to disturb the fairy's clear dream, so he tucked the quilt for her, and turned around to leave.
Behind him, a soft call suddenly came, "You fool, you want to run after you've seen enough?" Qin Luoyu's voice still seemed weak, but he was able to tease Xiang Bei, which made Xiang Bei inexplicably happy.
"Senior, I promised Geng Zhong and General Chang Poyu to guard Jinsha for them. ”
"I know it all. Qin Luoyu's reaction was a little flat. This made Xiang Bei a little disappointed, but his original intention was not to show off.
"Qin Luoyu, you have to recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind and protect yourself. ”
When Xiang Bei said this, his eyes were always staring at Qin Luoyu, which made this female devil who had always liked to tease Xiang Bei feel a little inexplicably flustered.
For a while, Qin Luoyu didn't know how to answer, so he had to respond stiffly to Xiang Bei, "If you don't have me to protect you, you have to protect yourself......
The voice faded, and even a blush rose on his face, but fortunately, the sensible oil lamp was even more dim. Xiang Bei didn't see the flush on Qin Luoyu's face.
