Seeing Hou Jue who instantly joined his side and resolutely prepared to fight against the monster, Manager Zhang was immediately shocked.
These thousands of households are really good at what they do. Are they all fooled?
Manager Zhang witnessed with his own eyes how insufferable Hou Jue was and how he cursed for two days, leaving the two guards with psychological shadow. But now, Qianhu just used a few simple words to get Hou Jue to submit to him, and it seemed that he was particularly concerned about the monster invasion.
Is Hou Jue so afraid of monsters?
Looking at Hou Jue, who had a look of horror on his face and kept asking Qianhu when the monsters would invade, Manager Zhang fell into silence.
"Lord Qianhu, in this case, I will trouble you about the next thing."
Raising his head, Manager Zhang smiled bitterly and said:
"You also know that I am just an ordinary little steward. I don't know the art of war, let alone the formation of troops. Now the Dead Man's Blade has defected, and the young master is also recuperating at the county magistrate's home. I have no opinion at this time. Please Please help me defend this place."
Delivered to your door?
Qianhu was stunned for a moment, but there was no fluctuation on the surface. He looked at Manager Zhang, frowned, and asked in confusion: "Is this in compliance with the rules?"
"It is true that the rules in the palace are inconsistent, but these soldiers may sound like the Royal Guards, but in fact they are all private soldiers raised by Master Zhang. They only receive free pay from the court."
Manager Zhang waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Mr. Qianhu. Even though they are private soldiers, these hundred forest guards also have military formations on them. Once they form a military formation, the death sword will not be a concern."
The so-called military formation is a unique formation studied by the elite armies of the Ming Dynasty. Once the military formation is formed, the strength of the army will be doubled. The superposition of dragon and tiger energy is not only one plus one is greater than two, but the army can also use Various powerful tactics.
"Military formation?"
Qianhu was thoughtful and asked, "What kind of military formation?"
"Tiger and Ben formation."
Manager Zhang bent slightly and said softly: "It is said that this is a military formation left over from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The young master once snatched it from a small officer. The effect is very good. As long as the formation is formed, the soldiers in the formation will look like evil tigers. If you are brave and not afraid of death, one person can defeat ten people."
"What do you need to form an array?"
If you want to form a formation, firstly, the entire army needs to practice this formation for many years, and secondly, the person leading the army needs to possess the dragon and tiger energy of level five or above. At the same time, if you want to form a military formation handed down from ancient times, you often need to sacrifice something, such as...
"Half a cup of human blood, an inch of tiger bone."
With a low voice, Manager Zhang said softly: "Every soldier has human blood and tiger bones ready. As long as you give the order, the formation can be formed."
"good."
Qianhu frowned without leaving any trace. He looked at Manager Zhang and said, "Are you going to find your young master next?"
"Um."
Nodding, Manager Zhang said with a smile: "Master Qianhu is in charge, so I feel at ease. I can't do anything else except serve my young master, so I won't be an eyesore here."
"There are many gangsters in the city, so be careful."
Qian Hu pointedly said to Manager Zhang: "Do you need me to send someone to escort you?"
"No need to trouble Qianhu."
Manager Zhang smiled and shook his head, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words, "I can do it by myself."
"good."
Nodding, Qianhu didn't stay and said directly: "I won't send it away."
"Thank you."
Arching his hands towards Qianhu, Manager Zhang glanced at Hou Jue again, then handed a green tiger charm to Qianhu, and then left the military camp.
"It's that simple?"
Hou Jue on the side came over, looked at the tiger talisman in Qianhu's hand with some surprise, and said hesitantly: "Isn't this steward a bit too hands-off for the boss, so I gave it to you directly?"
"I'm surprised too."
Qianhu squeezed the tiger talisman in his hand and found that as Manager Zhang said, it was a "key" used to start the formation without any traps or restrictions. He felt a little strange, but he thought of what Zhou Li had told him before.
If it goes well, things will go even smoother in the future.
"By the way, Zhou Li is coming to attack this place soon?"
Suddenly, Hou Jue remembered the most important thing so far, and asked nervously: "When? Use fire or poison? Or use that thing like Gui Daozi before? If you use that thing, is it dry or thin? ?Is it still too late for me to run now?"
"There's enough time."
Nodding, Qianhu stretched out his hand, grabbed the fleeing Hou Jue's collar, and said helplessly: "But don't worry, Zhou Li has his own intentions in asking me to come."
"Want you to light the cesspit?"
"You still have some misunderstandings about Mr. Zhou."
Sighing, Qianhu explained: "He didn't mean to let Gui Daozi drown at that time. No one expected Gui Daozi to actually make such a choice."
"Otherwise? What if the mushrooms die every day? It would be better to be drowned in a cesspit."
Hou Jue looked strange, scratched the back of his head, and then asked: "Then what are we doing here? Now that you have the tiger talisman, just let them stay here. When we go up, we will blow up both exits and suffocate them alive. Isn’t it better?”
"Master Zhou said, no."
Shaking his head, Qianhu sighed: "Even if these people die, we can't kill them."
"The Guardsmen?"
Hou Jue immediately understood Zhou Li's concerns. After all, these people had the title of Royal Forest Army and were considered to be personal members of the royal family in a sense. If they were killed, they would cause trouble for no reason.
"What should we do?"
Frowning, Hou Jue asked in confusion: "We can't kill the Imperial Forest Army, and Zhang Suohao can't kill either, so what are we doing here?"
"Zhou Li has made arrangements, but I don't know the details yet."
After thinking about it, Qianhu arranged: "You go outside to find Guo Baihu first, he is here too."
"It's quite complete."
Hou Jue let out a sound of joy. He picked up the stick on the side. Then he seemed to remember something and said quickly: "By the way, there are two more people in the cell next to me. I heard that the guard said they were the Jie family's father and son. Let them go first." Alright."
"Brother Hou still remembers us, we understand."
At this time, a slightly tired man's voice came from the dark cell beside him. Then, another younger voice also sounded.
"But it's not time yet. We won't get any credits if we go out now."
"ah?"
Hou Jue was stunned at first, and then became stupid.
"credit?"
Qianhu on the side was also stunned. He walked to another cell door, lit a candle, and saw the two people inside clearly through the light of the fire. The two men were wearing tattered satin robes and their bodies were covered with scars. They looked like they were dying, but they spoke with great vigor.
"Forgot to introduce myself."
After coughing, "Jie Du" who was lying on the ground sat up like a zombie, wiped his face, and said seriously: "I am a Spring Equinox student in the second year of Taixue, and I am a volunteer. I have three credits a day. I am studying. There are too many supplementary courses. Without these three points, it would be difficult to graduate."
"I'm better than him."
The other Jie Sanhe sat up, rubbed his ears, and said cheerfully: "I am a student of Xia Zhi in the fourth year of Taixue, and I failed one subject."
"But the old scholar said that if I fail only his one subject for four consecutive years, he will kill me this year. There is no way, I have to come and get this destined credit for him."
Qianhu and Hou Jue were silent.
You are so imitative that you have evolved to this point just for this few credits?
Going to jail for someone else? !
