While speaking, I saw a soldier-like person walking up to Lu Geng with two bags of things and said, "Old Lu, these are the things that were collected from those two black-clothed people, and we can't open them, so we have to hand them over to you first." ”

Lu Geng knew a little bit about the mystery of this storage bag, so he stretched out his hand to take it and said, "Okay, you go and get busy first, and ask the brothers to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible and retreat early." The man gave another salute and took his leave.

Lu Geng handed the two storage bags to Kong Rui and said, "This is the spoils of the immortals, and they naturally belong to the immortals." Kong Rui was not polite, reached out and took it, and put it in his storage bag together.

When cleaning the battlefield, Li Yun and Li Qi and other villagers in the village also came to help, Li Qi saw that Lu Geng was talking with Kong Rui very happily, he was not surprised, and then asked the soldiers next to him, and learned that it was with this person that helped them achieve victory, otherwise they might return defeated, Li Qi's jaw dropped at that time.

When retreating towards Lu Geng's station, Lu Geng had already called Kong Rui brothers, both of them were people with bold temperaments, but they felt that this could be more open, but Kong Rui was unwilling to say his situation, and Lu Geng saw that Kong Rui was unwilling to say, so he stopped asking.

The two talked all the way, and Kong Rui learned that this unit was called the Shancha Army, and there was no official name in the imperial court.

Kong Rui felt curious and asked Lu Geng: "Brother Lu, your army is really strange, why is it called such a name?"

"We didn't have a name, we named it after our state. And it doesn't matter what it's called, as long as it can expel the scheming people. Lu Geng laughed.

"Brother Lu, why doesn't your army even have military uniforms?" Kong Rui asked again.

"We have uniforms, but they're all worn out and there's nothing to replace. Lu Geng snorted and said.

"Then why didn't the imperial court issue you follow-up military uniforms?" Kong Rui was even more strange.

"Not to mention military uniforms, even weapons are not given to the imperial court. Lu Geng said.

"Brother Lu, if you don't even have provisions, then how can your troops survive?" Kong Rui was taken aback and felt incredible.

"We have provisions, didn't the people send them to us?" Lu Geng laughed.

Kong Rui couldn't help but admire Lu Geng when he saw that he was so generous and bold, and said: "Brother Lu really has the style of a general, if everyone in my Great Yan Country is like Brother Lu, why worry about not being expelled." ”

Lu Geng only thought that Kong Rui might be a famous monk, and his own army also needed such a master, so he immediately introduced the situation of the Shancha Army to Kong Rui, and said: "Our Shancha Army is all like me, and we all have the heart to expel the Qiqian people, but our ultimate goal is naturally much more ambitious. ”

He knew that Kong Rui was a cultivator, and he thought that Kong Rui, like the other cultivators he had seen before, was not interested in earthly matters other than the rise and fall of the country, so he didn't want to tell Kong Rui;

Lu Geng said: "In the past two or three months, there seem to be a lot more demon cultivators in this area, presumably they want to exterminate us as soon as possible." Many of our brother troops have suffered great losses, and this time we are also thanks to Brother Kong to avoid heavy casualties. ”

Kong Rui said politely: "I'm just passing by, it's just a gesture, it's not worth mentioning." But when he heard Lu Gengdao say that there were many more demon cultivators in this area, he immediately became interested, and he was ready to stay in this area for a few more days and kill some more demon cultivators.

"What are Brother Kong's plans for the near future?"

"I'm going to stay in this area for a few days and then head north. ”

Lu Geng was anxious when he saw that Kong Rui had such skills, but he couldn't keep him, but when he heard him say that he would stay for a few days, he was much more relieved, and said, "That's good! We still have time, so let's ask Brother Kong for advice." ”

The group returned to Lu Geng's station, and Lu Geng immediately sent a message to his superiors Liu Baisheng and Zheng Ping, reporting the battle situation and Kong Rui's situation.

Liu Baisheng and Zheng Ping both cherished their talents, and when they saw someone like Kong Rui, they immediately thought about keeping him behind, and then summoned Lu Geng, asking him to try to keep Kong Rui first, and then try to invite him to Liu Baisheng and Zheng Ping's station, and they personally persuaded him, hoping to keep Kong Rui in the army.

Lu Geng knew from the conversation with Kong Rui on the road that Kong Rui hated the Demon Cultivators, but because of the identity of the cultivators, he could only kill the Demon Cultivators of the Spirits, but he could not attack the ordinary soldiers, so he had an idea in his heart at the moment, so he said to Kong Rui: "If Brother Kong wants to know more about the situation of the Demon Cultivators, it is best to go to Majiashan Village, which is the residence of our Minister's Department, and they will have more information about the activities of the Demon Cultivators." ”

When Kong Rui heard this, he immediately rejoiced and said: "Okay, the younger brother has this intention, and Brother Lao Lu will introduce the younger brother." Without hesitation, we will set off right away. ”

Lu Geng heard that Kong Rui quickly agreed, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly sent a liaison officer, and after the introduction, he asked the liaison officer to lead Kong Rui to Majiashan Village.

The liaison officer's surname was Chen Mingliang, and he was also extremely talkative, and he introduced a lot of information about the Shancha Army to Kong Rui along the way.

It turned out that this army was composed of some volunteers with lofty ideals, and now they all took the fight against the Yakuza as their mission, they had no military salary, and the imperial court did not have weapons, provisions, etc., and all the things used daily were made by themselves or captured from the enemy, and the conditions were very difficult, but everyone was strong-willed, united as one, and took advantage of the mountainous terrain to fight against the Yakuza for many years, and the whole army was constantly growing.

Hearing Chen Liang's introduction, Kong Rui couldn't help but sigh in his heart, on the way back to Lu Geng's station, he also saw Lu Geng give up his mount to the wounded to ride, and he walked forward on foot like an ordinary soldier; and Lu Geng's own clothes were also shabby, no different from ordinary soldiers; his face was the same as that of the soldiers, and obviously, he did not receive any special treatment as the supreme commander of this army. Thinking of this, Kong Rui's good impression of Shanchajun increased a little, and he also wanted to see what kind of character Lu Geng's boss was.

The two walked all night before they arrived at Majiashan Village, Kong Rui's mana was profound, so he naturally didn't care, but Chen Liang was already exhausted, but he still insisted on sending Kong Rui to Liu Baisheng and Zheng Ping, and after the introduction, he went down to rest. Kong Rui saw that Liu Baisheng and Zheng Ping were only living together in a dilapidated courtyard, and their clothes were no different from ordinary soldiers, only slightly cleaner, and there were two orderly soldiers in the courtyard to assist them in their daily chores and communication orders, and there was nothing else special.

Liu Baisheng's bookish face did not look like a general at all, and Zheng Ping was short, but he looked very stocky. As soon as the two saw Kong Rui, they spoke: "Welcome Brother Kong to the Third Division of our Mountain Inspector Army." So he invited him to sit down and poured the tea himself.

Kong Rui saw that these two people did not have the slightest pretension, and opened his mouth to greet him "Brother Kong", he immediately felt much more cordial, and he was not polite, so he invited him to sit down.

Liu Baisheng opened his mouth and said, "Brother Kong, don't introduce yourself first, let me guess how Brother Kong's master is?"

Kong Rui suddenly felt very curious, and said with a smile: "Chief Liu, please." ”

"I guess Brother Kong should be from the Wuxuan Sect. Liu Baisheng said with confidence.

"It's true that I'm from the Wuxuan Sect, but how does Chief Liu know?" Kong Rui was taken aback and hurriedly asked. "First, I think Brother Kong is extraordinary, he should be from the big sects; second, the only big sects that are still struggling to resist the people are Wu Xuanzong and Tiangongmen, I heard Lu Geng say that Brother Kong manipulated the puppet to kill two demon cultivators, which also confirmed my speculation; third, as far as I know, Tiangongmen should be closer to the south, and only Wu Xuanzong comes to the north. Liu Baisheng smiled and said.

When Kong Rui heard him analyze like this, he was so disrespectful that he threw himself to the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Chief Liu's divine calculation, I admire, admire." ”

Zheng Ping said on the side: "He's not a god, it's just a god's push, otherwise he would really have to set up a stall to tell fortunes for others." The three of them laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
