Tang Zhao was introduced into a clean barracks, surrounded by soldiers guarding the area and the security was very tight. There were no restrictions in the barracks. The captain ordered him to pour water and asked him to sit and wait before he went out on his own.
After a while, someone entered the room and called, "Tang Jiaoyu."
Tang Zhao took one look and said with a smile: "It's outstanding."
It turned out that the visitor was Huo Chaoqun, whom he had met in the mountains before. His face was full of joy. He came in and bowed before saying with a smile: "I just heard the name of the teachings outside, and then I found out that you were a guest in the camp. I and I Colonel Hu told me about the differences between teachers and students before, and he asked me to entertain you."
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Why don't you just show up if you don't entertain people? Sit down and chat."
Huo Chaoqun thanked him, sat opposite him, and asked softly: "Did your... trip go smoothly?"
Tang Zhao didn't know that when he rescued Huo Chaoqun in the sea of flowers, he had already misunderstood that he was performing a top-secret mission. He just asked him politely and casually replied: "It's quite satisfactory."
Huo Chaoqun said with a smile: "That's good, that's good. It's indeed a lesson. Congratulations." He thought that Tang Zhao would perform a complex and top-secret mission, and it would be a great achievement after he successfully completed it. He would definitely be rewarded when he returned, so he congratulated him. Pan, said: "It's a pity that you can't say clearly that it is urgent official business, otherwise you can give special permission."
Tang Zhao said: "It's not an important official matter, it's just an ordinary official matter. My status is not empty, so I don't think it will be difficult for you general."
Huo Chaoqun hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered: "Not necessarily. Our general and General Li Lang are different. Although General Li Lang is proud, he is reasonable and understands current affairs. Our general..."
He shook his head slightly.
Tang Zhao suddenly realized that this partial general was probably a rather "off-kilter" person who was not easy to talk to. He didn't know if he was truly selfless or if he liked to make things difficult for others.
He smiled and said, "If that doesn't work, I'll ask someone from our district inspection department to take care of me."
If he wasn't worried about the important matter of the Golden Crow Sword, he wouldn't be in a hurry. He could just stay in the military camp for a few days. Could it be that the military camp really put him in jail? But now he really has something important to do. Even if he alerts his superiors and makes both parties unhappy, he still has to go back first. I hope the general will not be ignorant of the compliment.
To be honest, Tang Zhao has just successfully broken through the realm of swordsman in Bai Yujing, mastered the second sword intention, and also shouldered the important task of affecting the people of the state. As a young man, Tang Zhao is somewhat arrogant, and his actions are a little "careless". Who do I mean?" Not only is he not afraid of trouble, he even wants to try it out.
Huo Chaoqun, as a young man, did not notice his sharpness, but smiled and said: "That's not the case. Just look at how he dealt with the arrogant boy of the Yanyun Sword Sect for reference. If he let it go, would he still be able to do it? Stopping you? You can't give face to outsiders and embarrass your own people, right?"
When Tang Zhao heard "arrogant boy", he was moved in his heart and said: "Isn't that boy a fair-looking young man with a particularly good swordsmanship and wearing coarse clothes?"
Huo Chaoqun was stunned for a moment and said, "I've never seen him before... Why, do you know that person too?"
Tang Zhao smiled helplessly: "No wonder you said there are so many outsiders these days, and they all come together. You have found the three of us."
Huo Chaoqun said: "Is this your companion too? This is a bit troublesome. The general is impatient, so don't hurt him."
Tang Zhao said: "That's okay. The sword has no eyes, as long as the life is there."
If Yue Lai was in danger, Tang Zhao wouldn't be able to help him, but if he was just injured, Tang Zhao wouldn't be able to do anything, especially if he was at odds with the Yunzhou government.
Huo Chaoqun said: "It's better not to get hurt. I'll check with you later..."
Just as he was talking, he heard the sound of drums outside, and Dongdongdong was very anxious.
Huo Chaoqun jumped up, and Tang Zhao was stunned and said: "Beat the drum to gather the generals? Your general is back?"
Huo Chaoqun said hurriedly: "No, this is not like the gathering drum of a partial general, but a serious general..." As he walked out, he said, "It can't be too late to gather the general drum. You sit down, I won't look for you outside." Don’t go out, I’ll go first…”
After that, he ran out and beat drums to gather the generals. The consequences of being late would be disastrous.
Tang Zhao sat on the chair, a little confused in his heart, but still calm and calm. At most, he was curious about which general was coming back this time?
But he was not afraid of any general.
Having strength means being so confident.
There was silence in the barracks for a while. After a while, Huo Chaoqun brought two soldiers in and solemnly said: "Tang Jiaoyu, General Zhang invites you to come over."
The two soldiers behind him had different uniforms from those in the camp, and they were even more murderous. They looked at Tang Zhao coldly, as if they were waiting for Tang Zhao to stab him through at the slightest refusal.
Where did this soldier come from?
General Zhang...
Tang Zhao knew that this was Huo Chaoqun's rumor to him, so he deliberately mentioned his surname, wondering where there was General Zhang? Is this general Zhang Zhang Zhang Zhang, or is he Li Zaozhang?
He didn't seem to remember whether it was Gong Zhang Zhang or Li Zaozhang. After all, he had never even heard of Li Yijian before, and at most he had heard of Pixiu Sword.
But to be called a true general, he should be a swordsman, right? Moreover, he is a strong one among the swordsmen, and should be the strong one who is the chief and deputy commander of the Department of Standardization and Inspection. The chief and deputy commanders of the Prosecution Department are even better than inspectors like Li Huajian. They are all experienced in many battles and have made outstanding achievements. Except for his master Xue Xianyun, there is no parallel import.
Tang Zhao followed Huo Chaoqun to the big tent, and saw that the atmosphere was even more solemn than when he entered the camp, and no one moved around anymore. The soldiers were clearly lined up in front of the big tent, with their swords and guns neatly arranged, but there was no sound, and it was so solemn that it seemed like they were about to be operated on. Like killing people.
Tang Zhao looked calm, but thought in his heart: Isn't this specially prepared for me? Have you set up another cooking pot?
Fortunately, he did not receive the same treatment as in Pingshu, and the general was not here for him. When Huo Chaoqun took him in, he heard someone in the tent say coldly: "Liu Chengan is really getting more and more promising. The emperor has given orders repeatedly that no one is allowed to cross the border, and anyone who crosses suspiciously will be taken down for questioning. This is asking him to be accommodating." What do you mean by the juniors from outside sects? Not to mention the Yanyun Sword Sect, even the people from the Taiyue Sword Sect and Jiutian Dao Palace are treated equally..."
At this time, Tang Zhao happened to enter the tent, and his eyes met with the general in command.
The general looked to be in his early thirties, his appearance was unimpressive, his eyes were restrained, he had no armor, and his clothes were not old. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary commoner.
But immediately after, you can feel his aura as if it were overwhelming the top of Mount Tai, like a dark thunder cloud, with a charged thunder snake hidden in the cloud that could explode at any time.
Perhaps it was because Tang Zhao's senses were greatly improved after he became a swordsman, and he could more intuitively feel the power that was triggered but not released. He could even feel the scale of that power and weigh it in his heart.
If he was still a swordsman, he would only feel the pressure subjectively.
This is a power that is evenly matched with him.
Of course, this does not mean that the opponent's strength is evenly matched with his, but that his momentum at this moment is comparable.
Tang Zhao's current strength is partially blessed by the sword element of the Golden Crow Sword, but it is actually a bit inflated. It's unclear how much of this power he will be able to retain in the end. In terms of his own sword power, Tang Zhao should be inferior to his opponent, even if he was empowered by the Golden Crow Sword once.
This is an accumulated gap.
However, if you take into account the double sword intention and assume that the opponent is just an ordinary swordsman with a single sword intention in the world, then at least he will not lose against Tang Zhao who is standing up. So it's not bad to say they are evenly matched.
These are all without considering the teammate Bai Hu.
He saw the general, and the general looked at him.
At first, his eyes just glanced, but then he stared at Tang Zhao's face, his eyes filled with majesty. He slowly stood up and asked, "Who is your Excellency? Why are you here?"
Tang Zhao replied again: "I will inspect the training camp of the District Secretary Yu Tang Zhao."
General Zhang shouted: "Why do you have to talk nonsense? With your identity, it would be ridiculous to pretend to be a teaching! Why don't you say it? If friends can be honest with each other, even enemies should not lose their identity!"
Tang Zhao calmly replied: "Xiaguan is a teaching metaphor. The official certificate is already there, so how can we talk about pretending?"
General Na Zhang shook his head and said: "If you don't tell the truth, your ulterior motives will become more obvious..."
At this time, someone heard someone say: "General Qi, I can prove it by placing the mark."
Tang Zhao knew it was Huo Chaoqun as soon as he heard the voice, and saw that he was standing upright. Although his face was pale and sweat was falling on his forehead, his tone was very firm, and his eyes were looking directly at the superior general, with no intention of evading.
Huo Chaoqun is such a good boy.
Huo Chaoqun said firmly: "The teaching metaphor is indeed the teaching metaphor of the Inspector of the District, and it is definitely not a fake. The teaching metaphor of my graduation exam was the Chief Examiner of the Division of the Inspector, and we all have a teacher-student relationship. Tang Jiaoyu is a pure and upright man. He is an upright gentleman, definitely not a villain, and certainly not an enemy. Everything he says is true, and the sun will tell."
He was so sure, and he was an undoubted identity in the camp, so what he said was naturally somewhat effective. General Zhang couldn't help but believe it, but he still frowned and said: "Impossible. I have all the talents of the younger generation in the Prosecution Department." Pay attention, I recognize all the swordsman seeds in their twenties and thirties under Xing Ji. How could I not know if there were such young swordsmen? How could the District Inspector hide them? How could the official position be limited to only the first and sixth grades? ?Is the District Attorney crazy?"
Huo Chaoqun was about to say a few more words when he suddenly came to his senses and said in shock: "Sword... swordsman?"
At this time, not only General Zhang, but also he was confused. Although he did not know Tang Zhao's strength, from a common sense point of view, Tang Zhao was just a swordsman, right? A swordsman is already a big shot as a general, how can he be an examiner and be on an equal footing with General Li Lang?
He was speechless for a moment, but Tang Zhao laughed instead and said: "It turns out that the general knows Mr. Xing. That's great. Can I ask him to prove my identity?"
General Zhang said: "How do I know where Xingji is? When he comes, are you going to stay in the military camp for ten and a half days? What is the purpose of your insistence on not leaving?"
Tang Zhao took out a flat mirror from his sleeve and said: "What do you mean by insisting on not leaving? I have always wanted to leave, doesn't it mean that the general insists on staying? Even if the general can wait for ten and a half months, I can't wait either. I will contact you right away. He, let’s face each other, how about it?”
