Chapter 9 Entering the Barracks
After another day of repair, his strength was completely stabilized in the innate realm.
Chen Nan walked out of the courtyard again, not long after coming here, he didn't have much time to go outside to see, as a place where princes lived, the prosperity of Longyang City was still undoubted, whether it was commerce or martial arts, it was particularly prosperous.
The asphalt road, wide enough to accommodate several horse-drawn carriages, was flanked on both sides by small traders and vendors, selling not only the daily necessities of the common people, but also the items of those who practiced martial arts, such as swords, axes, chisels, and stainless steel soft armor.
In some ordinary-looking stalls, something hidden in a pile of junk items may be a rare treasure, so when buying something here, even the stall owner may not know how much he is selling is worth.
It's luck to fight, and it's eyesight to test.
Chen Nan wandered around the street like this, looking at it casually, but when his footsteps suddenly stopped, a look of surprise and incredulity flashed in his eyes, and he stopped in front of a stall, and the person who set up the stall was an old man with cloudy eyes and a rickety figure.
It's just that under the head with his head down, his eyes glow slyly from time to time, hiding a bit of wisdom and treachery, and the old man's eyes can be described as very vicious.
In front of his stall, there were only a few ordinary herbs and some broken bottles and jars, as well as a black object, it was something similar to a scroll, very familiar, Chen Nan noticed that it was one of the fragments, the Eastern Emperor fragment.
He actually stumbled upon a piece, which can be said to be a big explosion of character, a total of five fragments, one on his own body, outside Shili City, and a piece in the body of the demon beast, maybe he really had almost enough of these pieces.
The people of the mainland have been fighting for many years, but they have never made up enough, but the legends about them still make many people believe that they are true, Chen Nan also believes that he believes in his luck even more, he is different from the people here, he is not bound by the mandate of heaven, and the induction in the dark tells him that the mountains and rivers atlas and the fragment of the Eastern Emperor are not simple, and among them, there must be some kind of connection.
"It's just a bunch of garbage, it's worthless!"
Chen Nan shook his head deliberately, he couldn't say that there were any treasures in it, otherwise the other party would definitely open his mouth, the world's common currency, or silver taels and gold, Han Yu had given him a hundred taels of gold before, but Chen Nan knew that it was not much, in this trading market, a good Xuantie sword was worth a hundred taels of gold.
The old man obviously didn't know that it was the fragment of the Eastern Emperor, if he knew, he would definitely not get it here to sell, since he met it this time, he must get it, he didn't think about robbing it, this is Longyang City, the base camp of Yang Lin, King of Jingyuan, and the law enforcement team is definitely not worse than other places, among the law enforcement team, maybe not bad congenital masters, not to mention that he is also in the Yang Lin camp, or don't come indiscriminately.
"Eh, young people's eyesight is not good, go to this trading market, even if it is Taobao, if you are lucky, you can meet the baby, there is no mystery in this, I will not take it out and sell it!"
The old man's eyes blinked twice, like a profiteer.
Chen Nan was silent, he couldn't let the other party see what was coming, he tried his best to calm his expression, shook his head and said, "What you said is wrong, if there is really a treasure in it, then how can you get it here to sell it?"
The two of them provoked each other's scheming, just to be able to get the greatest benefits, but obviously, the old man's consciousness was not as high as Chen Nan's, he just wanted to sell it for a good price, but Chen Nan was bound to get it, it was a fragment of the Eastern Emperor, not something that gold could measure.
"Five taels of gold!"
Chen Nan gestured five fingers and smiled slightly, "Sell everything you have here, and gamble with five taels of gold!"
Speaking of this, he still had a little bit of a ruthless look under his teeth, and he said that he would buy it all, just because he didn't want the old man to reach his goal, so it gave the other party room for bargaining, and it was best to seal it directly!
"Ten taels!"
The old man doubled, he was also tempted, and secretly said that this kid was really cunning, but he was helpless, this should be the limit of the other party, if the price was raised too high, the other party would leave directly, and he would die if he fell short.
"Eight taels!"
"Okay, deal!"
Even at this point, Chen Nan still has to pretend to lower the price, and the old man also readily agreed, the two hit it off, Chen Nan dropped eight taels of gold, and directly rolled up the stall and ran away.
When he got the gold, the old man naturally picked it up and quickly packed it up, still thinking that he had made a fortune today, and he should go to the restaurant for a drink.
Fragment four, "Qi", Chen Nan vaguely saw these words, the one in his hand was the second fragment, and Han Yu got the third fragment, so the two, three, and four fragments were already clear, and the connection was the river domineering, which was a very strange feeling, but Chen Nan knew that if he got the first and fifth fragments, everything would be clear.
Today's biggest harvest is this fragment, after finding the other two fragments, he will find a way to get the remaining fragments from Yang Lin, and then he will be able to know what secrets are hidden in it, the fragment in his own hand, Yang Lin and Han Yu don't know.
After all, the fragment of the Eastern Emperor is too bizarre, if it is known that the fragment in his hand is the one that has been missing for hundreds of years, I don't know how much of a sensation it will cause, with his current strength, it will definitely not be able to be saved.
Put away the two fragments at the same time, Chen Nan walked out leisurely again, and continued to wander on the street, but he didn't go to the trading market, this kind of luck is very terrible once a day, he naturally no longer hopes to pick up anything, but slowly walked towards the city gate, today there seems to be more people gathering at the city gate, something should happen.
About ten minutes later, Chen Nan arrived at the city gate, a piece of paper pasted on the city wall, the words here are a little different from their side, Chen Nan does not recognize the whole thing, but he still recognizes the two words recruitment, and under the city gate, there is a table, a few people in armor are sitting, and there are several long queues in front of them.
It should be recruitment, Chen Nan faintly realized that this situation was not right.
Although it has not been here for a long time, Chen Nan still tried his best to understand something, the Qin Dynasty has a total of eleven counties, the Qin Emperor has an order, each county has a maximum of 100,000 soldiers, and although for some reasons, there may be some loss of soldiers and horses, but Yang Lin, the king of Jingyuan, sits in the three counties, with 300,000 soldiers, and it is also common to recruit troops, but the scale is too large, so it is not normal.
And it was at this time that there was no such blatant intent before, and after the death of the intelligence personnel of the royal family of the Qin Dynasty, they began to be active, because the eyes of the royal family were blind, and they started from their own base camp and continued to expand their troops and horses.
This Yang Lin seems to have a rebellious heart, but he seems to be very popular with the people, this kind of thing is known to anyone with a discerning eye, but he dares to do it, no one even said anything on the street, and no one reported to the royal family, at least in this Longyang City, which is surnamed Yang.
But Chen Nan is right when he thinks about it, which one of the rebels has always been a mediocre and incompetent person?
Maybe the royal family of the Qin Dynasty should really change the dynasty. didn't think much about it, these didn't have much impact on him, he wanted to go to the peak of the strong, and he didn't want to pay attention to these mortal things, the immortals who roamed the world were the starting point of his continuous pursuit.
Everything is just the beginning.
"I heard that if you join the army, you can practice the exercises in the army, and if you join this heaven-shaking army, you will be able to cultivate the high-level internal skills of the Jingyuan Palace, and many innate masters are very yearning!"
The voice in his ears still attracted Chen Nan, can you still practice the exercises when you join the army? Skyquake Legion?
Chen Nan hesitated, he didn't turn around and leave, but there was something that attracted him here, although the mountains and rivers he cultivated were domineering and mysterious, but they were full of mystery, too mysterious, and he had not been exposed to other exercises, at this moment, if he had the opportunity, he should definitely try it.
What's more, there is also the so-called internal strength of the Jingyuan Palace's collection, this prince's mansion, how powerful the exercises collected should be, suddenly, Chen Nan wanted to take a look, perhaps, it was time to get in touch with other exercises, the opportunity was in front of him, and he could try it.
"Just go!"
Chen Nan made up his mind, anyway, he was just a soldier, it shouldn't be anything, and it wouldn't affect his cultivation too much, and now it's not bad to contact more people, he will know more and see more.
"I want to join the army!"
Finally, when it was the turn of a long dragon to him, it was already when the sun was about to set, and the sergeant who was assessing was about to leave, only to find that there was another person.
smiled, they want to recruit soldiers, it is natural that there are so many people coming, as long as they are not crippled and healthy, although Chen Nan is only sixteen, his body is already very strong, and he does not look worse than ordinary adults, but his face is slightly immature, and his long silver hair is flowing, which is particularly eye-catching.
"Okay, that's a good boy! what's your name, how old is you?"
Patting his ass and sitting down again, the sergeant was a middle-aged man, smiling at the moment, holding a piece of paper and writing, "Chen Nan, sixteen!"
After putting down the pen, a few dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, and the simple information was recorded, the sergeant got up and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning, let's report to the training ground outside the city!"
"Remember to come early, tomorrow's assessment will be passed, and you will be considered to be a real member of the army!"
Before the sergeant left, he gave another explanation to Chen Nan and nodded, Chen Nan knew that writing a name now does not mean that he has joined the army, after all, recruiting soldiers is for war, and everyone can't be pulled inside.
Then I also left, and I was going to report tomorrow, so I had a good rest and sleep today.
