News came out from the Nantianmen, notifying all the peak masters of the 108th Peak to attend a banquet held for the Demon Clan’s envoys, which was no less than a state banquet. It was also spread that the Demon Clan Princess would appear at the banquet, and it was possible to designate their own envoys. Will be stationed on any peak.
The qualified mountain peaks will receive a huge amount of funding from Nantianmen, which will be used to repair the palace and entertain distinguished guests.
When the news came out, the people were all very angry, wondering how they could allow the demon envoys to receive such comfortable treatment in Daxia.
But as mentioned above, we in Daxia are a kingdom in heaven, so we must not lose our etiquette, and we must try our best to leave the impression that our country is strong, wealthy and prosperous to the envoys.
So everyone scolded them, and the peak masters of the 108th Peak would naturally rack their brains to allow the demon envoys to station themselves on their peaks. Not only can you get a huge sum of money, but you can also negotiate cooperation with the peacemaking mission as soon as possible.
Because the restoration of peace between humans and demons is basically a certainty, the demon envoys also come with extremely powerful bargaining chips, including commercial negotiations such as bilateral trade.
As the peak leader, I have a strong control over who can come in and who cannot come in. Even I myself have to make a pot of gold in the muddy waters of business.
The temptation is so great that almost no one can resist it, so the words of their masters are heard from the largest peaks in Nantianmen, claiming to seize this opportunity to make a fortune.
As the saying goes, whoever is near the water first gets the moon. Under various powerful temptations, even if the leader speaks, the peak masters are still gearing up and preparing to show their magical powers to let the demon princess choose their mountain to live.
After all, many of the peak masters of the big mountain peaks are not soft persimmons. They also have many complex forces behind them. Even if they compete with the master, they are not afraid.
The date is set to be held ten days later at the Ziting Taoist Palace. Zhang Yangguan will personally host it at that time. It is expected to be a lively event this year. It depends on how the peak masters try their best to win the favor of the demon envoy.
However, the specific method used by the demon princess to choose the mountain peak to station has not been announced.
…
After a month and a half of recuperation, You Chuiyun's body has improved a lot. Perhaps because he often lay down, his figure has swelled. He is no longer the skinny boy, and finally looks like he has some strength.
But there was always a sickly blush on his face, as if he was a little swollen.
But how can this disease caused by overwork be fully recovered in a month or two? Even if the medical sage himself takes action, it is impossible to say that you can continue to carry logs in just one or two months. .
Since he can't exercise his body, You Chuiyun is not idle. He insists on meditating every day and begins to sort out the body's energy and try to consolidate his foundation.
But it is true that his foundation was unstable due to a life-and-death fight with the stone tiger when he advanced. This is indeed difficult to repair.
After sitting for a long time, You Chuiyun's face turned from red to purple, and finally to white, and then he fell to the side, trembling all over.
"No, it's like mountains and rivers. Once it's set, how can it be changed? It's not easy for Foolish Old Man to move mountains."
He pressed his panting chest to calm himself down. After resting for a while, he gritted his teeth and started practicing again.
But what You Chuiyun doesn't know is that his problem now is not with cultivation, but with how to deviate from the operating context and get on the right track.
This is the importance of a good teacher. If you have a dedicated master, because the exercises have the same origin, he can enlighten you on how to overcome difficulties and open the door to convenience for you.
"No, if you continue to make mistakes like this, you will definitely go astray."
You Chuiyun shook his head and said, he wanted to ask Wu Ma or Chou Niu for advice at this time, but as disciples of the Sword Forest and inherited from the Sword Master, they did not dare to casually teach their master's techniques to others.
With his mind in confusion, You Chuiyun decided to go there.
But as soon as he went out, he was blocked by everyone from Qingyun Sect. Mo Ai stood in front of him, puffing out his bulging chest, preventing You Chuiyun from taking a step forward.
"Brother You, it's very dangerous outside. What do you think if the Zheng family uses those shady tricks now? In the past, the Zheng family felt that Brother You was not a threat.
But things are different now. When they get angry, they will use any despicable means. "
Then Mo Ai scanned You Chuiyun up and down with scrutinizing eyes: "Besides, Brother You is so weak. If he meets the princes of the Zheng family, he will be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth."
"Junior sister Mo, don't worry. The Zheng family doesn't dare to attack me at Nantianmen. They can only get what they want from me if I live. At worst, we will both die together. This is something they absolutely don't want to see. There is no danger in this. As for When you meet those young men from the Zheng family...you may not know that it was their bad luck to meet me."
You Chuiyun said these words very confidently, especially the last sentence, which he pronounced very strongly.
At this time, Gao Shan, who was walking over, happened to hear the last few words of You Chuiyun and came over with a smile: "Yes, Brother You's reputation is so frightening to them."
Mo Ai stomped her golden lotus feet, pouted her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Elder brother! Why are you like this... You clearly know that Brother You is not in good health."
"Don't worry, senior brother will accompany your brother You out."
Mo Ai looked happy at first, and then suddenly realized something. The red clouds flew up to her face, and she immediately ran away in embarrassment.
You Chuiyun turned to look at Gao Shan. Gao Shan shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture of invitation to You Chuiyun.
"Do you really want to go out with me?"
"I happen to be feeling bored, so it would be good to go out with Brother You to relieve my mood."
"That's fine too."
You Chuiyun and Gao Shan descended Cunjin Peak together, and the officers and soldiers stationed at the foot of the mountain naturally recognized them.
Of course, in the past, these military masters would not have held Master Youchui Yunyou, who was the fourth-grade Si Tianjian, in their mouths, because in their eyes, this child was just a child, an official who had been replaced by a hereditary sect who had broken down. , nothing worthy of awe.
But later I witnessed this child dancing around with a thousand-jin log. He could run dozens of laps around Jinjin Peak while carrying the log.
They changed their view of You Chuiyun a lot, at least they said that this child was at least as good as a centurion in the army. But if you want to move forward, you must learn about your skills. In the army, personal ability is not the most important. If you want to climb up step by step, one is military merit and the other is qualifications.
This is also the reason why Zhang Quanyou is the commander-in-chief. He started his career through military exercises, and then went to the northern border to kill the demon army. He was an officer in the army who was rewarded by the emperor.
Therefore, the Three Hundred Battalions are more convinced by him. He is a real "fighter with great achievements" and is much better than you losers.
But Liu Dekua was different. This man came from a military family, and his family was considered wealthy even in the capital, so he was given the position of deputy commander through connections.
Of course, Liu Dekua came from a wealthy family and had a family tradition of practicing martial arts. Naturally, he also had the resources to practice martial arts. His martial arts skills were not weak, so he was not underestimated in this position.
Zhang Quanyou is different. This person has no ambition. Back then, he was forced to learn martial arts by his family. He always looked lazy and carefree, and I didn't see him being assertive a few times.
"Master Xiaoyou!"
"Where are you going, Master Xiaoyou?"
These soldiers carrying tattered and rusty weapons will now greet You Chuiyun, but they are all smiling playfully, and the formation is also crooked and thick, like a group of idlers.
When You Chuiyun heard them saying "Sir Xiao You", he nodded with a kind look: "We're going out to relieve our boredom, why don't we brothers come together?"
The group of officers and soldiers shook their heads, and one of them was bolder and more brazen: "No, Mr. Xiaoyou, Commander Zhang has been keeping us tightly covered recently for fear of flying away.
It's been a long time since we guys went out to listen to songs and drink wine. We really miss those little ladies' tight, sizzling, white and tender buttocks, making waves every time. "
You Chuiyun raised his eyes and saw that although this soldier was frivolous and frivolous, he was well-proportioned and tall, with calluses all over his palms. At first glance, he was a serious trainer.
"Come on, Zhang Quandan, I think you can only surrender in three breaths, right? You are thinking about women here, so you can practice more."
This soldier named Zhang Quandan took advantage of his superior strength and locked the soldier who was teasing him so hard that he could not move and shouted for mercy.
A group of soldiers seemed to be having a lot of fun.
"Zhang Quandan? Do you have anything to do with Commander Zhang Quanyou?"
You Chuiyun smiled as he watched them fight, and he would not gossip, let alone complain to Zhang Quanyou. This was one of the reasons why the officers and soldiers were willing to get close to You Chuiyun.
"That's a big deal."
When Zhang Quandan heard Master Xiaoyou ask him this question, he immediately clapped his chest and gave a thumbs up, looking like a rude man: "The Commander-in-Chief and I are from the same family, from the same village, and have the same ancestors. We are from the same family." I'm of the same generation. When I meet the commander-in-chief, it's okay to call him brother."
"Oh, I didn't expect that Brother Zhang was brought out by the commander-in-chief."
Zhang Quandan said proudly: "The commander-in-chief has a sharp eye. He knew that I was a good general to be a general when he saw me, so he brought me out of the village. One day I will kill a few demons and monsters." Then you can’t properly become a general.”
"Yo yo yo, you're bragging to no end... A mud-legged guy even knows the idiom that a wise eye knows a pearl. I think you should just take off your armor and go home to teach."
At this time, many of the fellow soldiers began to tease him.
Zhang Quandan's voice was as loud as the sky: "Get out of here, I'm talking to Mr. Xiaoyou, why is this little kid interrupting?"
You Chuiyun waited for the group of people to finish laughing, and then said seriously: "Brother Zhang, I think you are the crouching tiger and the hidden dragon in this Three Hundred Camp. But... Our Three Hundred Camp is not like you. A place where dragons and tigers can live."
When he said this, he looked around at the officers and soldiers, and his voice was not loud, but a little harsh: "The brothers in our camp just want to be comfortable and stable, right? Drink some wine, sing, pat women's butts, and act like men. , but don’t do things that cost you your life.
Brother Zhang Quandan, what kind of general do you want to be? Brother, I advise you to give up on this idea and just hang around in the 300th Battalion. You can drink and eat meat every day, and go to the fence to play from time to time. , this is the best way to live your life. When you get old, you can pat your chest and say that you served as a soldier and defended the country.
No matter what battlefield you go on, what achievements you make, those are things that only fools would do! Wrapped in horse leather, hey, bad luck, really bad luck, whose son is not a son... They must be killed, yes, they have gained a false reputation, but what's the point of losing people? Is it immortal? Bah, I think that's still old. It's appropriate to be a mud-legged person for the rest of your life.
You say so, brother Zhang Quandan, don’t talk about becoming a general through meritorious service, that’s bad luck. "
When You Chuiyun said this, he patted Zhang Quandan on the shoulder, nodded to the stunned officers and soldiers, and then led Gao Shan away.
Zhang Quandan has not yet come to his senses. He is a rough man and has not been able to understand the meaning of You Chuiyun's words just now. However, as he ponders over it, the more he ponders over it, the less interesting it becomes.
The companions were also a little confused, not knowing what Mr. Xiaoyou meant and his attitude by what he just said.
