Chapter 350: Calming the Storm
Xiao Yibo went straight out of the martial arts mansion and went to the martial arts training ground for new recruits.
As Ma Xiao said, if such a big thing happened, it was impossible to have no gossip. You can only do things well, and then turn the direction of rumors to the side that is beneficial to you.
Therefore, Xiao Yibo went to the recruit training ground. At this moment, the restoration of the recruit training ground has entered the final stage.
The martial arts platform has been rebuilt, and the big pit that was hit out by Wan Lai Tiandu before has also been filled, and if you don't look carefully from the outside, you can't see that there was such a big pit here.
The restoration work must not be unpleasant, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Pingjin City also acted together, and it took only one day of hard work to rebuild the martial arts field.
When Xiao Yibo arrived at the martial arts arena, it was already the first night, the lights in the recruit camp were bright, and most of the recruits had already rested after the day's work. Xiao Yibo entered the recruit camp, ignored the garrison sergeant who greeted him, and went straight to the martial arts arena.
In the recruit training ground, except for a few recruit sergeants who are still in the finishing stages, it is empty. The martial arts arena of Nuoda is full of yellow sand and a lonely color.
Xiao Yibo went straight to the rebuilt martial arts stage, his eyes narrowed slightly, scanning the entire martial arts arena, behind him, the large screen had been rebuilt, and even the chair specially reserved for Xiao Yibo before the screen had been placed. Xiao Yibo sat on the Taishi chair, looked at the little light that gradually dissipated in the sky, and fell into deep thought.
The news that the city lord Xiao had arrived at the new barracks spread quickly, and the recruits who originally wanted to rest after hearing the news dispelled the idea of resting and stayed in the camp to wait for the possible military order. Including veterans who are responsible for training new recruits, presumably this idea. Xiao Yibo only came here at the beginning of the restoration work, arranged specific restoration work, and then returned to the martial arts, and did not show up for a day, and the sergeants thought again, what is the reason why Xiao Yibo came to the new barracks at this moment.
Soon, the general in charge of repairing the new barracks arrived at the martial arts platform, and after seeing Xiao Yibo, he went straight forward, clasped his fists in front of Xiao Yibo, and said softly: "I have seen the city lord." ”
Xiao Yibo didn't speak, glanced at him lightly, waved his hand slightly, the general got up, looked at Xiao Yibo, and then asked softly: "Lord City Lord, is there something wrong with you coming to the martial arts arena so late?"
Xiao Yibo shook his head and said, "It's okay, I won the battle today, I'll take a look at how the martial arts field is repaired, I looked around, and I felt that it was not bad, so I sat down and rested." There's nothing to do with you here, so you can go down and rest. As he spoke, he waved his hand at the general again, and then said no more, just looked up at the darkening sky, and fell into deep thought.
When the general heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then he threw his fist at Xiao and retreated gently.
But I kept thinking in my heart, I don't know what Xiao Yibo meant when he won the battle.
Waiting for the general to return to the station, he immediately gathered his staff and discussed the matter. Originally, Xiao Yibo transferred the forty centurions in Pingjin City to be not a hidden news, and it was impossible to hide such a thing, and before that, Xiao Yibo also sent two brigades of men and horses into the depths of the Gobi to carry out the order, but this order was not a secret. Therefore, several staff members quickly analyzed the meaning of Xiao Yibo's words.
The forty centurions sent to complete Xiao Yibo's order. said that he won the battle, and it is likely that he solved the person who made trouble in the martial arts arena yesterday.
After research and judgment, the general and his staff all believed that this idea was the most realistic, and as for why Xiao Yibo did not announce it, it may be because this matter involved some secrets and could not be said publicly. Coupled with Xiao Yibo's indifferent face and unfazed as always, the general once again concluded that the news they had judged must be true.
At the same time, Ma Xiao had already gathered forty centurions together, gathered together for a drink in the name of the city lord's reward, and inadvertently, spread some news about Huang Yuchen. Of course, these messages are all reprocessed.
As the night grew darker, Xiao Yibo left the martial arts arena and returned to the martial arts mansion. Doing this round of things, although it is not foolproof, is the best that can be done. Fortunately, this matter has not been fermented for too long, and with Ma Xiao's cooperation, the news is true or false, and the rumors should be alleviated a lot.
At this moment, Huang Yuchen was a little exhausted from studying the formation patterns that appeared before, and now he went to the bedroom behind the Martial Mansion, sitting cross-legged on the bed, and closed his eyes. The formation figure that Fang had been studying kept coming to mind.
These spell marks kept flashing and combining in his mind, and finally formed a formation, Huang Yuchen continued to deduce in his mind, constantly testing the composition and depiction order of the spell, and unconsciously, fell into a deep sleep.
Nothing was said all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yibo personally went to Huang Yuchen's bedroom, picked him up, threw him a guard armor, and then took him out of Pingjin City without saying anything.
When passing by the breakfast shop in the city, Huang Yuchen wanted to sit down and eat something, but was dragged away by Xiao Yibo's ears, and this scene was seen by many people.
After arriving at the martial arts arena, the training of the recruits was underway, Xiao Yibo did not say much, and directly took Huang Yuchen to the martial arts stage. At this moment, behind the chair of the Taishi of the Yanwu Stage, the six sergeants who had been Xiao Yibo preparing to escort were already standing there, and when they saw Xiao Yibo coming, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Xiao Yibo waved his hand slightly and sat on the Taishi chair, Huang Yuchen looked at a few people, didn't say anything, and stood directly behind Xiao Yibo.
And the few reserve guards in the back, now looking at Huang Yuchen's eyes, have changed slightly.
Naturally, they heard the rumors in the army, and this new young man was actually the nephew of the city lord of Xiao. They now understand that before the city lord Xiao arranged a few people to compete, just to make room for his nephew, and this young man has real talent and learning, and several of their reserve guards are the best among the recruits, but except for Zuo Xin, no one is his opponent.
And it was later confirmed that this Zuo Xin did not really join the government army, he was an enemy spy, and he had been cultivating with a secret sect, so his cultivation was high, and everyone could understand.
Among the rumors, it was also said about Huang Yuchen. Legend has it that he has long seen Zuo Xin's rebellious heart, when the camp changed, Zuo Xin used a trick to introduce him into the secret sect, but this young man used his intelligence and cultivation to escape, and the government army team that arrived behind provided valuable clues, so far helped the centurion team to take the enemy base camp in one fell swoop, and finally burned the enemy base camp to the ground, and the people of the secret sect who made trouble in the camp were already dead and fled, without any arrogance.
In a place like the army, there are two things that are most important. One is strength, and the other is loyalty.
Huang Yuchen, as Xiao Yibo's nephew on the bright side, if he didn't have real talent and learned and fell into the city in the battle, then Xiao Yibo kept him by his side, and some people had complaints. But the strength shown by Huang Yuchen was really amazing, so that several reserve sergeants did not have the confidence to compete with Huang Yuchen. And then he played a key role in the counterattack, so that no one said anything.
The rumors in the army, deliberately spread by Xiao Yibo and Ma Xiao, changed direction.
The battle that appeared in the camp before was blamed and chased by the Sun Sect, and the sect was mysterious in the eyes of the world, so when this news came out, most people immediately believed it. Many people don't associate things with other forces in Qitian, what is the use of a frontal attack that the army has only seen, and a sneak attack on a new barracks is simply not worth the loss.
Coupled with the deliberate spread of the forty centurions who went out on a mission later, the matter also had the eyebrows in the rumors.
The Secret Sect Chasing the Sun Sect, wanting to expand its development and influence, once found someone to find the City Lord Xiao Yibo and asked for mutual cooperation, the Chasing Sun Sect provided cultivation methods, and the City Lord Xiao was responsible for helping the Chasing Sun Sect expand the sect and influence. But this matter was rejected by the city lord of Xiao, so this sect was annoyed and angry, and it had been brewing for a long time, which led to the previous attack on the camp. However, this incident was properly resolved with the disdainful efforts of City Lord Xiao and Ning Junshi. So much so that Ning Junshi confronted the enemy head-on, was seriously injured, and was secretly sent back to Dongwangfu for treatment.
And the city lord Xiao sent a team to smash the headquarters of the Chasing Sun Sect, and with the cooperation of his nephew, destroyed the headquarters of the Chasing Sun Sect and burned it to the ground.
After such a spread, what was originally a bad thing turned into a good thing. After many recruits learned the news, they trained harder, and their confidence in the strength of the East Wangfu was firmer.
The pride of the sky, a teenager, went to the enemy headquarters alone, not only retreated, but also helped destroy the enemy base. With excellent resourcefulness and extremely high cultivation, he has become the best among the younger generation and has become the target of many recruits.
And at this moment, Huang Yuchen stood behind Xiao Yibo, feeling the gazes of several other sergeants on him, but he was at a loss in his heart, he didn't know what was happening, but he felt that everyone's eyes had changed when they looked at him. From the previous disdain, to the slight essence in his eyes now, this change made Huang Yuchen a little uncomfortable for a while.
The training continued, and Huang Yuchen inexplicably stayed in Pingjin City, and gained a high status.
Xiao Yibo used his own means to hide the whole thing, but he couldn't feel at ease in his heart. Not only for that Xu Feng, but also very worried about Ning Yi.
"I don't know if the Yuanwu kid has received the letter, what will he arrange......" Xiao Yibo thought to himself, his eyes turned to the sergeant who was training in the distance.
