Rising from the glazed earth, the nine heavens are brilliant.
The strange phenomenon of the ancient divine tower appeared in the world. In the wilderness where a killing was about to begin, the golden swords were put into the warehouse and the war horses returned to their stables.
Just like the boiling hot oil in a pot is covered by a cover, it seems to be calm, but in fact, there are undercurrents and evil intentions hidden.
August has passed, and the coolness that was imagined has not arrived, and the entire wilderness has become even more dull.
It has been more than a month since the glazed beam of light broke into the clouds in the sky. The Zhou army camp stationed in the central and eastern part of the wilderness has long since dispersed. Except for the regular drill sounds of the sergeants in the camp, there is no other movement.
Only occasionally, a group of cavalry with bright armor came from the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty all the way, and continued to integrate into the military camp.
Compared with the ordinary cavalry teams, these teams coming from the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, whether it is horses, armor, or the blood and momentum that the cavalrymen inadvertently reveal, all show that they are far superior to ordinary sergeants in strength and status.
Among them, there are many people with deep, humble and reserved expressions. They are dressed in brocade and decorated with jewels, and they have the innate aura of being in a position of superiority.
Near the border of the wilderness, some teams with mysterious origins also began to appear. They entered the wilderness silently, like oil droplets rolling down the sea, and disappeared instantly without a trace.
In the calm wilderness on the surface, a more dangerous and violent storm is secretly forming unknowingly.
However, all this has nothing to do with the Anmang Protectorate for the time being.
Ten days ago, Fu Di led five thousand elite mercenaries from the Western Regions and escorted 200,000 laborers and slaves from the Western Regions to the outside of Anmang City to join the construction of Anmang City.
Also brought with them were 50,000 fine horses from the Western Regions, 5,000 cattle, 300,000 sheep, and a large amount of iron sand, grain, grass, and plant seeds.
Due to Jiang Li's generosity and credibility in his last employment mission, after receiving Jiang Li's summons, Fu Di just agreed on the price and without even collecting the deposit, he directly advanced funds for Jiang Li and prepared to collect everything. required.
In view of the huge transaction volume this time, they even took the initiative and thoughtfully prepared a troupe of dancing maids composed of a hundred girls from the Western Regions for Jiang Li, giving them to the northwest king with endless potential for free.
In the large tent of the Jiedushi Envoy in Anmang City, there was singing and dancing, the musicians played the strings with their jade fingers, and the huqin played melodiously.
The girls, full of exotic amorous feelings, twist their waists and have snow-white skin, reflecting the unique vitality and charm of youth under the candlelight.
Compared with the girls in the Shuyu and Changsan Middle Schools in Dazhou, who were as thin as willows and elegant in temperament, these girls from the Western Regions were undoubtedly hotter and more coquettish, with firm, plump and elastic bodies.
As the waist twisted and trembled, it seemed like it was about to overflow.
"Marquis Zhenjun, I spent a lot of effort to collect these dancers for you. I have snapped up all the dancers of sufficient quality from the countries near the wilderness.
"Even if I take her to Shengjing, she will still be extremely dazzling. She will never be inferior to the dancers in the Orchid Dance Hall in Shengjing City."
Fu Di held up the wooden barrel and drank the wine in large gulps. The bright red wine flowed along the side of his mouth and onto the expensive silk robe, embroidering the gold and silver threads into a mess with exquisite patterns.
He didn't realize it at all, he just caressed a big gold brick on the table with a look of obsession, and laughed loudly: "Compared to beauty, wine, magic sword, and BMW, I love this thing more. Beauty can lie. But gold cannot be faked!”
Then he kissed the gold brick hard and frowned, "It's strange that this gold brick smells a little weird, but it doesn't matter, as long as it's gold!"
"Chief Fu Di likes gold. Next time you transport supplies, you might as well transport some stones. The wilderness has more plains than mountains. There are not many usable stones nearby!"
Jiang Li put down the jade cup and raised his brows subtly.
As he said, there are few mountains in the wilderness and huge rocks are hard to find.
For more than a month, he has not started to renovate the walls of Anmang City. In addition to the fact that the walls are still low, the most important reason is that the Anmang Protectorate's foundation is too weak and lacks money and various resources.
In order to solve this "problem", Jiang Li had to sneak out of the city every night to find usable stones and convert them into gold.
The mountains on one side of the river valley and the slightly larger boulders were almost completely transformed by Jiang Li.
The gold brick that Fu Di was holding in his arms at the moment was cut from a piece of bluestone that was placed under the manger in the stable.
If the conversion is too hasty, the taste will inevitably be a bit louder.
Fortunately, in Anmang City today, most of the matters have been arranged, and there are several hills made of gold bricks piled up in the treasury.
The supplies that Mo Yunliang purchased from Dazhou have also begun to arrive in Anmang City one after another.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Li's men are strong and strong at this time.
"What do you want the boulder for?"
Fu Di was already drunk and was a little delirious. He pressed his face against the gold brick and rubbed it obsessively, as if what he was pressing against was not gold, but the jade legs of a twenty-eight-year-old girl that could be broken with a blow.
"The cost of transporting stones from the Western Regions is very high, but it doesn't matter. I will transport you whatever you want. Do you like the concubines of the kings of the Western Regions? If you want, I can get them for you." , what’s the price, we’re all brothers, it’s free..."
Fu Di's voice became smaller and smaller, and he soon fell into a deep sleep against the gold brick.
"Okay, you all go down!"
Jiang Li waved his hand, and the lingering sounds and dancing figures in the tent suddenly stopped.
More than thirty girls with pretty faces and charming figures gathered together with light steps, like butterflies, and all saluted respectfully to the young military commander of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the main seat.
Some brave girls even raised their eyes secretly, their eyes full of spring and sultry waves.
Although they came from the Western Region and arrived in Anmang City not long ago, they also had some understanding of the young military commander in front of them.
Qilinzi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the governor of Li Province, the son of Jiang Shirong, the best martial artist in the world, who killed the martial sage...
The gathering of all kinds of incredible identities and feats into one person is a miracle and a legend.
What's more, this young military commander of the Zhou Dynasty is so handsome and young.
I don’t know how many sisters secretly met him in their dreams after seeing him.
"Concubines, please retire!"
The girls spoke with unskilled ears, Yingying said, and reluctantly left the camp.
"Why did you stop? Dancers, keep playing music and keep dancing..."
When Jiang Li passed by Fu Di, he couldn't help but smile when he heard the mercenary leader's muttering words.
He opened the door curtain and walked out of the main tent. The moonlight was thick, but the fire in Anmang City was bright, as bright as day.
Tens of thousands of laborers were building fortifications on the surrounding city walls. With the addition of 200,000 laborers and slaves from the Western Regions, the construction speed of Anmang City also accelerated.
The city wall has been built up to 20 meters from the original five meters high, and the outline of a huge city finally begins to take shape.
The city also followed the plan, dug channels, laid bases, and carried out the layout and planning of each city.
There are also some buildings that have just been completed and have been put into use.
The first one built was not the official office of the Anmang Protectorate and the residence of the Zhenjun Marquis, but a barracks for the sergeants.
In three to five days, all the sergeants will be able to move into the new barracks and no longer have to live in tents.
"Ho ho ho"
Jiang Li walked slowly under the moonlight. In a high-walled courtyard more than ten miles away, rich blood steamed like boiling water and condensed in the sky above the courtyard.
There is a newly built military camp that can accommodate 30,000 soldiers for living and training.
Jiang Li walked into it. In the martial arts arena, thousands of soldiers were shouting loudly. They were bare-chested and holding long knives, slashing hard in the air.
The silver light shone like a sea of ice, and drops of sweat splashed and dripped as the arms and waist swung and twisted, soaking into the fine sand under their feet.
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and as far as he could see, the skin of each soldier seemed to become transparent at this moment.
Jiang Li could clearly see the movement of blood and energy in their bodies, muscles exerting force, bones contracting, visceral breaths mixing evenly, inhaling and rising... It was vivid and transparent, just like looking at lines on the palm of a hand.
For more than a month, he has been practicing hard, and finally three days ago, he broke through the peak of the martial arts realm, entered the final level of divine transformation of the ordinary martial arts level, and became a true martial arts master.
In the Divine Transformation Realm, the warrior's blood is condensed, breaking through the brain's entrance, stimulating the infinite potential of the brain, and the spirit becomes sharper.
He can see through all the vitality of his opponents with his naked eyes, he also has the ability of inner vision, the ability to remember his eyes, he can master all the subtle changes in the body and mind, and he can also influence others with his spirit.
After Jiang Li advanced to the Divine Transformation Realm, he not only possessed all the potentials and minor magical powers possessed by ordinary Divine Transformation Realm warriors, but also unexpectedly had the ability to peek into the flow of Qi and blood in the opponent's body.
Generally speaking, this is a magical power that only martial saints possess.
The reason why Jiang Li was activated in advance may be related to his super physical strength that is far beyond the same level.
Although his combat power after entering the Divine Transformation Realm has not yet been verified, Jiang Li can be sure that his strength has at least doubled.
Except for the spirit of the fist, he is almost on par with the intermediate martial arts saint.
Of course, if you are facing off against a junior Martial Saint, and the opponent is fully exerting his fist spirit and martial arts skills, without using his magical powers, the winning rate is still not high.
“Bang bang bang”
In the school grounds, occasionally one or two sergeants would suddenly experience vibrations deep in their bodies, as if they had broken through some limit, and their breathing and blood would become stronger in an instant.
When the surrounding sergeants noticed this change in their comrades, they would have envy and urgency in their eyes. Then they would restrain their minds and draw out their swords with all their strength, using moves to exercise their muscles.
In Anmang City, not only was Jiang Li's martial arts realm improving rapidly, but also the sergeants under his command were improving every moment thanks to their hard work day and night and the support of abundant training resources.
As time went by, more and more ordinary soldiers broke through Jiaowu, and their strength increased greatly. Compared with the most elite troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were no less generous, or even stronger.
In addition to training resources, Jiang Li selected two volumes of body training techniques, two volumes of boxing techniques, and two volumes of sword techniques from several volumes of the "Arsenal", and also donated all of them to the newly recruited soldiers under his command.
Given time, it is almost unimaginable to reach the peak that these government troops can reach.
When the mercenary leader Fu Di first entered Anmang City, he was shocked and speechless when he saw that the moves performed by ordinary soldiers were all high-level martial arts.
He became even more determined to only do business with Jiang Li in the future and never be an enemy.
Although the strength of these imperial soldiers is not high now, if a few years pass, the ones with the lowest level of martial arts will probably be in the late stage of Tai Chi Realm, or even the early stage of Ju Qing Realm.
An army of 100,000 people with an average combat strength of over 100,000?
I'm afraid Wu Sheng will frown when he sees it.
Not to mention sweeping Beimang, it is possible to directly enter Shengjing.
"Improvement is still a bit slow!"
Jiang Li stopped to watch the soldiers drill for a while, then left quietly.
Although the sergeants under his command train hard, the medicinal wine, precious medicine, and body-tempering secret medicine they take every day are not of high quality, and the assistance and improvement they can provide are very limited.
After all, there are only so many rare vintage medicinal materials in the world, and you can’t buy them unlimitedly if you have enough money.
As a habit, Jiang Li went to the Chihe Valley to move bricks back. He didn't return to the main tent until the sky became brighter.
Fu Di rubbed his head and slowly woke up. When he saw Jiang Li walking into the camp slightly haggardly, a knowing smile immediately appeared on his face, "Zhenjun Hou, are these dancers I gave you useful? Do you know? You Zhou people have many rules, but these orchids have never been picked before!"
"When do you plan to return to the Western Regions?"
Jiang Li sat across from him, and several foreign maids brought him steaming sobering soup and some snacks and tea.
"Marquis Zhenjun, we are half-brothers. I've only been here a few days, and you've driven me away mercilessly!"
Fu Di looked heartbroken, making several cardamom maids beside Jiang Li cover their mouths and chuckle.
"It's not that I'm asking you to leave, it's just that my Anmang City is short of too many supplies and needs further replenishment!"
Jiang Li flicked his fingers, and a list slowly flew towards Fu Di.
"You want so many supplies again?"
Fu Di blinked, a little embarrassed: "You are about to evacuate the dozen or so small countries in the Western Region nearby. If you need these, you can only look for them in more distant places. The time, distance and cost will be huge." Increase!"
"Don't worry, I'll take whatever you can bring!" Jiang Li glanced at Fu Di's ear, his eyes suddenly narrowing slightly.
"hiss!"
Fu Di shrank his neck and waved his hands quickly: "I can't, I only work for my life, not my body!"
"If I'm not mistaken, your earrings should also be a storage device similar to the Sumeru magic weapon!" Jiang Li shook his head and said.
"I won't sell this thing either!"
Fu Di quickly covered his ears.
"Ten thousand taels of gold, I will only borrow it for a period of time!" Jiang Li directly set out the conditions.
"You have to take it to the Ancient God Tower!"
Only then did Fu Di put away his playful expression and his expression became serious.
"The Ancient God Tower only reincarnates once in a thousand years, so of course you have to go and see it!"
Jiang Li nodded and suddenly smiled: "You stay here shamelessly, don't you also want to get a share of the pie?"
"Hehe, it's natural. Anyone in Kyushu who has some ability and qualifications doesn't want to enter the tower!"
Fu Di let out a long sigh, with sincere and touching affection in his eyes: "If someone else borrowed it, I would disagree with it, but you are different. Even if I don't have the Xumi Magical Artifact, I will lend it to me." Brothers!"
After saying that, he took off a jade pendant from his left ear and threw it to Jiang Li.
"If you have other spare Xumi magic weapons, I can also borrow them at a high price!"
Jiang Li took the jade pendant and smiled.
"Hehe, it's not that we can't discuss it. Some of my friends also care about their lives and don't want to take risks in the tower!"
Fu Di was not embarrassed by Jiang Li's words and immediately made an offer.
After drinking the sobering soup, he directly grabbed the inventory, stood up and left the main tent, saying as he walked: "I will send these lists to the Iron Thorn Mercenary Association immediately to help you prepare. The price may be very high. I'm really surprised that you How much gold is there? The wealth is so frightening, isn’t there a cornucopia!”
"Not too bad!"
Jiang Li smiled.
"Master Hou, you walked away all night last night, you must have gone to practice martial arts again!"
"The Marquis is young and commanding so many troops must be very tiring!"
"Let's help Mr. Hou loosen his bones and rub his shoulders!"
Several maids came up obediently, stretched out their white and tender little hands, and rubbed Jiang Li's shoulders and back.
…
"Sir, Anmang City is ahead. Princess Tianzhu's son Jiang Li is now the military governor of Anmang Protectorate, commanding the military and political power of the province!"
When Fu Di's green falcon flapped its wings and flew into the sky from Anmang City, on the wilderness dozens of miles away from Anmang City, a horse team composed of more than sixty riders galloped like a horse. He drew a sharp arrow and shot it towards the huge city of Anmang.
Meng Yiyun whispered to a young man with a handsome face who was riding in front of him: "Jiang Li has a decisive and cruel temperament. It may be because he grew up in the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion since he was a child. He doesn't have much respect for me, Da Qin." When the young master meets his feelings, it is best to persuade him slowly and not to rush for success.
He is now in a high and powerful position, and he is of great significance to the prince's future plans and calculations. He is also a very important figure! "
