Well, Zhao Jin's contract failed. Xi Zhicai, the top strategist who Cao Cao once said "After Zhicai's death, will not be able to deal with the planners" was not as easily contracted as Zhang Xiu was.
Zhao Jin looked decadent. This was the biggest Waterloo incident since he became a spiritual master.
On the other hand, Song Lie next to him breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. Your uncle Song and I have not been able to successfully contract for more than ten years. If the contract was successful for you all at once, wouldn't it be embarrassing? This is a top strategist, who wouldn’t want it?
"Hey, Xiaojin, don't be discouraged. Not everyone can get a contract with a top strategist. Keep working hard and don't give up."
"No, Uncle Song, why do I feel that there is a sense of gloating in your tone?"
"No, no, what are you talking about? Are you, Uncle Song, that kind of person? You, Uncle Song, I am a gentleman. Eat slowly and leave the bowl for me to clean later."
Before he finished speaking, Song Lie hurried back to his room and breathed a long sigh of relief, unable to hide the smile on his face.
"Huh~~ It's so dangerous, I almost couldn't help but laugh out loud! Hehe, little bastard, you have today too! I want you to give me another blow!"
This failure really dampened Zhao Jin's enthusiasm, making him decadent all morning and feeling very boring no matter how much he practiced shooting.
"Lord, please don't be discouraged. In our era, the top counselors already had their arrogance. Lu Bu was invincible in terms of military power, but he only had one counselor, Chen Gong. My former boss, Gongsun Zan, and even one of the princes of the generation, There are no first-class counselors. In history, counselors are hard to come by!"
"Yes, my lord, look at Cao Ah Ma, who held the emperor in power to command the princes. He was so powerful that he wanted to conquer Chen Gong and Ju Shou, but all he got in exchange was that they would rather die than surrender. Even if he forcibly regained Xu Shu, what he got in exchange It’s just the saying ‘I am in Cao’s camp but my heart is in Han’!”
Seeing that Zhao Jin was in such a low mood, Li Ping and Zhang Xiu couldn't help but become anxious and appeared to comfort him one after another.
But these words sounded even worse to Zhao Jin.
Lu Bu had a first-class counselor who was defeated and died in the capital. Your lord didn't even have a counselor. Wouldn't it be worse than him being defeated and killed?
Gongsun Zan had no advisers, but he was highly skilled in military force and had a first-class army of white-horse righteous followers. In the end, he was defeated.
Not to mention Cao Cao. He did not conquer Chen Gong and Ju Shou, but he had Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and other top advisers. He even dominated the world. How can your lord compare with others?
Thank you, you know how to comfort.
"Okay, thank you for your comfort. I'm fine. Come, come again!"
Zhao Jin called out and signaled the two of them to fight again. In desperation, Generals Li Ping and Zhang Xiu had no choice but to obey the order and act as sparring partners.
Of course Zhao Jin knew that he shouldn't be discouraged at this time, but no emotion was inappropriate!
At this time, he encountered a setback and was in a very low mood. He just needed to sweat profusely to stimulate the brain to secrete enough dopamine and endorphins to drive away the negative emotions and create a sense of happiness. and pleasure.
Li Ping and Zhang Xiu were worried that Zhao Jin was low-spirited and laughed at them because they didn't understand science.
As for Song Lie in the house, he has already gone to who knows where. He will not worry about his great nephew becoming decadent. This small setback is nothing. He can't even break his skin. He really doesn't care about him. What kind of protagonist is Zhao Jin? He has the air of a domineering king? In what history did all the civil servants and generals have to bow before their heads?
Wake up, that's impossible.
"Some people are born to be kings, and some become bandits. The most important thing is that you choose the path you take. No matter how painful it is, you have to endure it. No one else can help you."
Song Lie, who was standing on the rooftop in the distance, looked at Zhao Jin who was fighting hard in the yard, sighed, murmured and then disappeared.
After a hearty "Hey, Hey, Hey", the negative emotions were vented, and Zhao Jin felt a little more relaxed and mentally exhausted.
"Stop it."
"Lord, you..."
Zhao Jin took the towel on the side and wiped the sweat that was constantly flowing on his face.
"I'm fine, Li Ping and Zhang Xiu obey your orders!"
"The general is here!"
"Follow me to see the scenery behind the Dark Realm Gate!"
"promise!"
.................................................................
"Uncle Song said that the road behind the Dark Realm Gate is usually a street occupied by evil spirits. I didn't expect that behind this Dark Realm Gate, it is connected to such a secret forest."
As soon as you enter the dark area, you will see a dull black. Everything looks so desolate and desolate.
"My lord, the spiritual energy in the dark realm is indeed much richer than that in the human world!"
Zhang Xiu took a "deep breath" and felt that the spiritual energy was so abundant, then he frowned.
"Lord, although the spiritual energy here is abundant, there is a negative emotion in it. If this negative factor is not removed during practice, if things continue like this, I am afraid that I will lose my spiritual wisdom."
"Well, this may be the reason why most of the souls in the dark realm are evil spirits. Do you feel it? The spiritual energy in the east is stronger, and that may be the direction of Shuiyun Town!"
Zhao Jin raised his head and looked into the distance, as if his eyes were going straight through the layers of woods to the small town whose appearance was unclear.
"My lord, although this dark realm is full of spiritual energy, it also hides dangers."
Li Ping, who had never spoken, clenched the spear in his hand and looked around cautiously. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding trees began to surge.
"Hey, there are guests here. Oh, no, we are the guests. The host is here to pick up the guests."
As soon as he spoke, the "host" walked out of the bushes and surrounded Zhao Jin and others.
"It seems that, as the book says, in addition to more ghosts and evil spirits in towns and plains, there are more animal spirits in the wild."
Zhao Jin never fights an uncertain battle. Zhao Jin has known the importance of information since he was a child, so before undertaking any mission, he will collect relevant information. It never hurts to know more information.
"Aww~~~~~"
A guy who was obviously the alpha wolf came out. The wolf howled, and the surrounding wolves rushed towards Zhao Jin and others.
"Li Ping, Zhang Xiu, destroy them!"
"promise!"
How could a group of wild wolves that were no more than 12th level, or at most close to 11th level, fight with them? With less than half a stick of incense, dozens of wolves all fell to the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, the wolf king also He wanted to escape, but was shot by Zhao Jin and died.
"This dark realm is such a wonderful place!"
Seeing the corpses of beast spirits scattered all over the ground, Zhao Jin's White Mist Fist reappeared and wanted to add a new batch of spiritual power pills.
"This is much faster than guarding the door to the dark realm outside. Li Ping, Zhang Xiu, just wait and improve your strength rapidly! Hahahahaha..."
As soon as he came in, he gained a lot within less than one stick of incense. Zhao Jin swept away his previous depression and seemed to be in a very happy mood.
"Let's go, let's get to Shuiyun Town as soon as possible."
Zhao Jin took out a golden bean with an open horn and called out the smart horse from before.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, the smart horse rolled its smart eyes, not knowing what to think about again.
Zhao Jin didn't care what crooked idea it had. He stepped on the horse and threw a spiritual pill into its mouth. The horse's eyes lit up.
"Haha, Li Ping, Zhang Xiu, let's see who gets to Shuiyun Town first today! Drive!"
Zhao Jin took the lead and galloped away.
Li Ping and Zhang Xiu looked at each other and called out a strong white horse and a big Xiliang horse, one white and one brown, and hurried after them.
"Wow~~~~It's so cool!"
It had been a long time since he had ridden a horse so happily. Zhao Jin exclaimed excitedly. In his last life, he wanted to learn to ride a horse, but he didn't have the conditions. Although he learned to ride a horse in this life, riding on a racecourse is not as exciting as riding in the wild!
In less than half a stick of incense, Zhao Jin ran out of the woods. Looking back, he saw a stone tablet at the entrance of the woods with the two characters "Wolf Forest" written on it.
"It turns out to be a wolf forest. No wonder there are so many wolves in it."
He was muttering to himself, and suddenly an allusion came to mind.
"Am I just 'watching monuments' on horseback? Hahahahaha..."
It is said that during the Warring States Period, there was such a counselor named Su Qin. Once he was riding a tall horse and passed by a stone monument. The horse was running very fast, but as it passed by the stone monument, Su Qin glanced sideways and saw the big characters on the stone monument. I memorized all the small characters.
It's simply worse than photographic memory.
Although Zhao Jin knew Wen Qiang Ji, he was far from Su Qin's ability to read the monument on horseback.
Along the way, he encountered many working dead souls and a few evil spirits. Zhao Jin didn't care about this at all. The purpose of his trip was not with these little Karas.
The dead souls looked at Zhao Jin and others who were flying past, with blank expressions on their faces. Before entering the dark realm, Zhao Jin's human scent had been sealed by his secret technique, and ordinary evil spirits would only think that he was It is the soul of a dead military commander.
There is a large lake in front of Shuiyun Town, called Shuiyun Lake. The lake water is extremely clear, and the fish and carp are playing under the water, which is very comfortable. On the lake in the distance, three or two small fishing boats floated, pulling out nets to catch fish from time to time, creating a peaceful scene.
Zhao Jin dismounted and let the horse drink water and eat grass freely. He took off his shoes and strolled towards the lake, letting the rippling lake water flow over his feet.
Water vapor floated around Shuiyun Lake. Zhao Jin, who was a water attribute, felt as if he was on drugs as soon as he got close to it.
"Lord."
As soon as he sat down, two generals, Li Ping and Zhang Xiu, rushed over.
"sit."
"promise."
Zhao Jin motioned the two generals to sit down and looked at the turquoise lake, unable to help but fall into a trance.
