"General Zhong, please ask the military lord for Zhao, how are your old friends doing?"
Scouting the army's tent outside Anmang City, Zhao Chengqian's eyes flashed slightly and he asked in a low voice: "I wonder if they are still alive, or have been dealt with by the laws of the military princes!"
"As soon as you enter Anmang, you are a soldier. If Senior Zhao is here just to visit relatives and friends, he can just leave the military camp and ask the military prince to ask him face to face!"
Zhongli Dian did not answer, but said coldly: "Anmang City is a military city established by the Holy Lord himself. All the laws in the city are the same as those in a military camp. As a Martial Saint, you should know the punishment for those who enter the military camp without permission. As an An Mang scout captain, asking about the safety of felons is a bit over the line!"
"That's what General Zhong said!"
Zhao Chengyan's eyes flashed, and he nodded with his fists clasped.
Without saying a word, he stepped forward to receive the Anmang City Scout Military Colonel's badge, then stepped back.
Although Kun Wu and others had angry expressions on their faces, seeing that Zhao Chengyan was holding back, they could only receive their respective tokens and exit the tent.
"Jiang Li does have the means and good governance. The atmosphere inside and outside Anmang City is completely different from all the military cities we have seen. But when he treats us like this, he is probably deliberately making things difficult for us, embarrassing us, and making us miserable." Retreat on your own!"
Kunwu walked out of the tent, looked down at the Captain An Mang's token in his hand, and gradually clenched his fists.
The copper made a squeaking sound and was about to shatter.
Everyone behind him was also sullen.
Zhao Chengyan stood in the middle of the scout camp, looking calmly at the scout teams running back and forth, wondering what he was thinking.
"Second Uncle, how long are you going to endure it? You are a Martial Saint. Go and call for formation outside Anmang City now. I don't believe Jiang Li won't come out to see you!"
Ying Mu was so angry that he couldn't help himself: "He is not only humiliating us, but also humiliating our Da Qin royal family. This is unbearable. I will write to my father and ask him to punish Jiang Li!"
"Ying Mu, are you just incompetent and angry?"
Zhao Chengyan looked back with undisguised disappointment in his eyes: "Even Kunwu can see Jiang Li's extraordinary methods of managing the army, but as the crown prince's legitimate son, you can't even control your own emotions, and your anger has made you lose your mind.
"You still act like you are superior at all times. Who do you think you are, the Crown Prince of Zhou Dynasty? How are you going to punish Jiang Li? Massacre the city or behead him? Let me, the Qin clan, incur the thunderous wrath of the Zhou Dynasty before I even appear in the world?" "
Zhao Chengyan looked at Kun Wu and the others again, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think that I, a great martial saint, would feel unjust and angry when being reprimanded by a junior in the Ten Thousand Master Realm? In fact, I only feel sad and regretful!
"Meng Yiyun and my five masters of the Qin clan are dead. Zhongli Dian has actually made it very clear that breaking into Anmang City at night is regarded as a war. Jiang Li will never allow them to survive!
"There is no possibility of negotiation and cooperation between the Qin clan and Jiang Li. Neither the prince nor the seniors in the clan will accept it calmly. There will be a battle between the two!"
Zhao Chengyan looked at the vigorous and high-spirited figures in the camp and the majestic city not far away, with mixed emotions in his heart.
Originally, such a force had great hope of joining the Qin Clan, but due to the stupid actions of Meng Yiyun and Ying Mu, not only did they lose their lives, but they also pushed An Mangcheng and Jiang Li to the opposite side of the Qin Clan.
Such "double" losses are likely to completely ruin Qin's hopes of restoration.
"Uncle Meng is dead? How dare he, Jiang Li!"
Ying Mu's face turned pale as if he had been struck by lightning. Meng Yiyun was his enlightenment teacher in martial arts. He shared the same love as his father and son, and was a strong support for him to inherit the position of Prince of Qin in the future.
Now that Meng Yiyun was killed, he not only had to face his father's blame, but also lost his right and left arm.
"Jiang Li, I swear you won't be a human until I kill you!"
Ying Mu's whole body was trembling, his eyes were full of resentment, and he said urgently to Zhao Chengyan: "In that case, why are we still being bullshit captains in Anmang City? Let's go back to the secret place now and ask my father to invite the elders from the clan. Kill Jiang Li!"
"Can't leave!"
Kunwu shook his head and said: "Since there is no possibility of reconciliation between us and Jiang Li, we should take this opportunity to stay and gain a better understanding of him, see how he governs An Mang, develops his power, and finds out his weaknesses. Where.”
"Yes, this majestic city is too important to our Qin clan and has unlimited development potential. I am very curious about how Jiang Li gained the trust and loyalty of these soldiers!"
Another master of the Divine Transformation Realm also said: "Every soldier I saw revealed their belonging to Anmang City and their endless trust and loyalty to Jiang Li. They could give without blinking anytime, anywhere. life.
If there are hundreds of such subordinates, they can use them as the foundation and branches to develop a powerful and unbreakable force. However, Jiang Li has 110,000 such soldiers under his command. Even when our Qin State is the strongest, I am afraid that Nothing more than that! "
"I am very happy that you can think of this. There is still hope for the Qin people!"
Zhao Chengyan nodded. The words of Kunwu and others were indeed one of the reasons why he insisted on staying in Anmang.
A concubine of the Hou family who is not yet underage can accumulate such knowledge in a very short period of time. If he can learn something from it, it will be extremely beneficial.
only……
With Jiang Li's wisdom, Kun Wu and others were able to think of these things, and Jiang Li would never ignore them.
He knew clearly his purpose of coming here and his reaction after Meng Yiyun was killed, yet he dared to tell them directly and kept them as officials in the scout camp.
It seems that he is not afraid of betrayal on his part!
What exactly does Jiang Li have to rely on and have such a strong confidence in!
Zhao Chengyan's thoughts turned around and he couldn't think clearly.
However, he is loyal to the Qin clan, and he is not afraid of Jiang Li's schemes. No matter what Jiang Li does, he will follow suit!
"Zhao Baihu and Kun Baihu, this month's supplies have been distributed. You each lead your scouts and go get them!"
A school captain's soldier from Zhongli Dian came from afar and handed a book of material details to everyone.
Anmang's army is elite, but it lacks middle- and high-level military officers. It will be difficult to cultivate masters of innate, ten thousand husbands, and mental martial arts in a short period of time.
As for Zhao Chengyan and the other seventeen people, although they are all at least Yiwu realm warriors, they are strong enough to serve as generals in charge of ten thousand people.
However, Zhongli Dian only conferred official positions on 100 households among five of them, and the rest were only appointed as general banners or even minor banners.
After receiving the supply details for 500 people, Zhao Chengyan opened the book and looked at it calmly, but his brows were condensed and he said to the captain's personal soldier: "Did you get the wrong details in this book? There are two thousand big sheep and Baowan." Twenty thousand coins and ten thousand kilograms of medicinal wine are enough to supply an army of ten thousand people!"
"You can't be wrong, this is the monthly supply for the five hundred scout army. Zhao Baihu may not know it when he first came to Anmang. The military commander treats us like family, with endless meat and abundant supplies of training materials. It is no weaker than some big families treat their children. of support!”
The captain's soldier smiled and said: "And this is only the most basic configuration. If we want to perform more tasks, or make meritorious deeds, or even improve our realm significantly, there will be additional rewards.
"By the way, before you go to collect the supplies, you'd better ask for the opinions of your soldiers. The military commander will reward you with five high-level martial arts moves, but you can't do too much, so each team is only allowed to choose one.
"Also, if you have soldiers under your command who have high understanding and strong spiritual power, you can also recommend them. We, the Anmang Army's Taoist Pavilion will be established. All qualified soldiers who pass the test can enter it to learn Taoism. , if you perform well, you may even be selected to join the 烃狁 heavy cavalry!"
The school captain's soldier said a few more words, then hurriedly left and went to other camps to inform about the material collection.
"Where did Jiang Li get so many materials and resources? I can understand his eagerness to develop An Mang, but not all soldiers are worthy of such resources. Many soldiers are not outstanding in qualifications. It is really a waste to accumulate so many resources! "
Kunwu couldn't help but shake his head. Even though it was not his own resources, he still felt very painful.
"What Jiang Li wants to do is to give ordinary soldiers high-level martial arts classics to practice, and to spread Taoism widely. It is simply contrary to common sense and will be tolerated by the world. He does not know that doing this will make the soldiers uncontrollable in the future and impact the influence of powerful families. Interested position?"
Ying Mu felt even more angry and worried.
Martial art classics and Taoist law books have always been the key for sects and aristocratic families to maintain their dominance and supremacy.
Once civilians and lower-level people take control of it, it will be like a spark igniting a prairie fire.
Jiang Li's move was simply to oppose the sects and families in the world and cut off the foundation of their rule!
"An extraordinary situation requires extraordinary actions. Jiang Li can indeed quickly grow his power and consolidate his foundation, but it will also cause endless troubles!"
Zhao Chengyan was also shocked.
Now that Zhou Mang is fighting, far away from the province and the world, these actions will not be spread quickly, but once it is known to the world of Jiuzhou in the future, of course there will be countless low-level warriors pouring into Anmang, and they will also attract all the sects in Jiuzhou, The crusade of the noble family.
The consequences are unpredictable!
…
"Marquis, the more than a thousand Earth Essence Stones you brought back from the God Tower World have all been placed in the military camp. When the soldiers enter it for training, the gravity and resistance that their bodies bear will double. Although the training is difficult, , but the effect is also very significant!”
At the Anmang City Protectorate, Zhao Tiehe walked into the government hall and reported to Jiang Li the progress of the city's construction in the past three days.
Two hundred thousand laborers from the Western Regions and subsequent craftsmen recruited from Kyushu took over day and night, building non-stop. The main construction of the entire Anmang City was nearing completion.
There are tall defensive equipment standing every tens of meters on the city wall, and boulders of kerosene are piled into hills.
Even if there were millions of troops besieging them, they would still have to pay an extremely heavy price to reach the top of Anmang City.
The streets in the city are flat and wide, divided into 108 miles, half of which are used by the military, and the other half are used to house soldiers, their families, and trade operations.
Except for the 30,000 laborers who remained in the city to complete the final improvements and details, all the remaining laborers were dispatched to various parts of the province to build military outposts, open roads, consolidate rivers and other follow-up projects.
"Is there any news about Shangguan Qingyan?"
Jiang Li stood in front of a huge sand table, his eyes moving slowly.
This sand table was built by three thousand scouts who spent several months traveling across the province to collect topography.
The entire terrain of Li Province has been meticulously restored, and even a small part of the neighboring Western Region and the Far North has been clearly depicted.
Among Jiang Li's Sumeru instruments, there are two pieces of Sunflower Crystal, one large and one small, as well as a lot of Wutu clay.
The northwestern part of the wilderness is dry and rainless, so Jiang Li plans to find a suitable location near Anmang City, place a sunflower crystal, and spread fertile soil to add a large lake and thousands of miles of fertile soil to Li Province.
"The scouts have been dispatched, but there is not much information to report back yet. However, Mr. Mo has sent back information. It can be confirmed that Mr. Shangguan once met Shangguan Yingxing at the border of Dazhou, and then returned to Li Province together!"
Zhao Tiehe said respectfully: "If there is no accident, Mr. Shangguan should have disappeared in Li Province!"
"Disappeared in Li Province?"
Jiang Li frowned slightly when he heard this.
Li Province is located in the northwest of the wilderness. It has been barren and desolate since ancient times, and most of the people who come and go are traders selling goods.
During the Zhou Mang War, most of the forces were concentrated in the central part of the wilderness, so it was unlikely that a master from the North Mang would emerge.
According to time calculation, when the ancient Qingyan disappeared, the ancient divine tower was still in the opening stage.
Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that a strong person in the realm of Yiwu or Divine Transformation will appear in Li Ye.
Could it be that a strange ghost from the underground abyss appears?
"Roar"
Just as Jiang Li was pondering, a wild beast-like roar suddenly came from outside the palace, as well as the violent collision of armor and the scolding sounds of the soldiers.
"It's the Beidikui people. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard for me to believe that such a physically terrifying race still existed in this and ancient times!" Zhao Tiehe sighed.
"Northern Quebec?"
Jiang Li was a little surprised.
"Informing the military commander, a small tribe of the Mang tribe asked for help a few days ago. They said that the tribe suffered from a beast disaster. The cattle, sheep and horses were dragged away and gnawed countless numbers. I sent two thousand heavy armors to exterminate the beasts and quell the disaster!"
Zhao Tiehe said: "The heavy armorers followed the traces left on the earth and found no wild beasts. However, they found some Beidikui people in the deep mountains. The cattle and sheep lost by the Mang tribe were all dragged away and eaten by them. of!"
"The Nordic people have always lived in the cold regions of the far north, how could they appear in the wilderness?"
Jiang Li's eyes moved slightly, and he and Zhao Tiehe walked out of the hall. They saw hundreds of elite heavy armored infantry under the steps struggling to drag iron chains thicker than their legs, and they kept yelling and cursing.
On the other end of the chain, there are some mountainous figures with their hands and feet locked tightly.
Looking from a distance, these figures are high and low.
But even the thinnest among them was much taller than the elite soldiers beside him.
He is even a head taller than Kun Wu, the grand master of the former Qin Dynasty.
The tallest figure among them was nearly four meters tall.
"Roar!"
Seeing Jiang Li appear, one of the burliest figures immediately let out a roar that shook the sky. The sound was like thunder on dry land, deafening and deafening.
The faces of more than sixty peak Tai Chi soldiers who pulled the chains turned pale, their ears were in severe pain, and their minds were buzzing. They were almost knocked unconscious by the roar. The strength in their hands weakened slightly, and they were killed on the spot by the giant-spirited Northland Kui man. Throw it away directly.
"Human race, die!"
The Beidikui roared loudly, like a small mountain rushing toward Jiang Li.
More than sixty thick and long iron chains were tied to the body. Each one weighed hundreds or thousands of kilograms, but it did not pose a big burden to the Quebec man.
The Kuman's huge feet hit the ground, crushing the one-foot-thick stone slab into powder. More than sixty iron chains were dragged in the air as he ran, like long hair flying, looking fierce and terrifying, like a demon.
"You are so majestic, let me meet you for a while!"
Zhao Tiehe laughed, jumped out, and punched the Beidi Kuei.
He had just advanced to the Ten Thousand Fu Realm and was so powerful that he could lift ten thousand kilograms of iron chains with one arm. His fist broke the air and even made a roar. One punch was enough to break seven or eight layers of iron armor.
But Kui Ren just slapped Zhao Tiehe away with a slap and flew him dozens of meters away.
"So strong?"
Zhao Tiehe landed in embarrassment and fell back for more than a hundred meters before he stabilized his body. If he hadn't advanced to the Ten Thousand-Fu Realm, a membrane had grown inside his skin and his body was tough, he would have been seriously injured internally by the Kuman's palm.
"General Zhao, be careful. When we first captured this Kui man, it took two hundred people to trap him and subdue him. He was so vicious!" a heavy-armored captain shouted from a distance.
"You're careless, you're careless, you shouldn't have a head-on confrontation with him!"
Zhao Tiehe shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking at the Beidi Kui people rushing towards Jiang Li, but he was not worried.
No matter how strong the Kuei people are, they cannot be the opponent of Zhen Junhou.
"Roar"
Sure enough, when Kui Ren's fist, which was the size of a water tank, was thrown in front of Jiang Li, Jiang Li did not move. A burst of true energy flew out, transformed into a human form, raised his fist and hit Kui Ren's fist, directly knocking him down. It flew out and landed heavily on the ground.
The zhenqi transformed into a small step, and then flew out in the air, came to the fallen Kui Ren, and turned into a zhenqi chain with a bang, binding him up.
"This is the true qi form of the airbender!"
Zhao Tiehe's eyes were filled with excitement when he saw the wonderful use of Zhen Qi. "If it weren't for my poor understanding, I would really want to turn to Qi training!"
"Humans, despicable creatures!"
The Beidikui people were imprisoned by the true energy and could not move at all. They just kept yelling. Although the roar was vaguely understandable, the intonation and way of pronunciation were very different from the current language and were full of ancient charm.
"Ho ho ho"
The other Nordic people who were tied up with iron chains in the back roared anxiously, seeming to be very worried about the safety of their kind.
"You're such an unreasonable Quebec man. You came to my territory and stole the cattle and sheep of the people under my rule. Why are you still scolding me?"
Jiang Li walked closer and looked curiously at the creature in front of him who also grew up in Kyushu, but was very different from the human race.
Although the outline of the face and the body shape of the limbs are very similar to those of the human race, the height of nearly four meters is completely beyond the growth limit of the human race.
The Quebec man's skin color showed a light light blue, and when he looked at it suddenly, it seemed as if it was condensed by ice crystals. Moreover, his bones and limbs were very thick, and his muscles were knotted with astonishing and exaggerated bulges.
Jiang Li's Zhenqi transformation had fought against this Kui man before, and judging from the power fed back, he was very close to a master in the realm of divine transformation.
"The human race is hateful. They are destroying my homeland and trying to enslave me. I have no choice but to flee and hide!"
The Quebec man was angry and yelled loudly.
"Are you saying that there are people who have gone to the far north to enslave you?"
Jiang Li was a little enlightened. No wonder these Kui people would stay away from the Far North and take the risk of running into Mangzhou.
Not to mention that their different body shapes will attract a lot of attention, even the environment in Mangzhou is not suitable for the survival of the Quebec people.
The Que people have a strong physical body and special blood. The blood temperature is hotter than that of humans. Only by living in the cold land of the far north and using the severe cold of the outside world to neutralize the heat of the blood can the body function normally.
Once out of the severe cold environment of the extreme north, the blood, internal organs, and brain will soon undergo various types of decay, and eventually the blood will dry up and die.
Therefore, only when Kyushu enters the cold winter season, there is a very small chance that Kuei will appear near the border of Mangzhou.
It has just entered September, and the climate in the wilderness is not suitable for the Quebec people to live in. They fled here and obviously encountered a big crisis.
"I have nothing to do with the humans who invaded the Far North. If you hadn't stolen the cattle and sheep of the wild people, my soldiers would not have taken the initiative to attack you!"
Jiang Li's heart moved, and the zhenqi tied to Kuiren's body immediately dispersed.
"Humans are all despicable and cannot be trusted!"
Kuei sat up in a depressed manner. Perhaps he knew that he was no match for Jiang Li and did not continue to attack, but the alertness in his eyes still did not change at all.
"Tiehe, ask the soldiers to get some cold well water. These people will soon be unable to hold on if they are exposed to the sun!"
Jiang Li ordered. Although the Kui man in front of him was fierce and powerful, the breath in his lungs was very disordered, and there were layers of sweat on his skin. His brows were furrowed, and he was obviously in a very uncomfortable state.
Zhao Tiehe took the order and left. When he returned a short time later, he was followed by more than a thousand soldiers, who poured buckets of cold water from deep wells on the bodies of these Kuei people.
"Human race, don't try to lie to me!"
The temperature of the well water was limited, but when it was poured on the Kui people, it also took away a lot of heat. The mental state of the Kui people in front of Jiang Li had obviously improved a lot, but the hostility had not diminished.
"You Quebec people are born with great strength, but you cannot survive in areas other than the Far North. You are not a threat or of great use to the human race. Who entered your territory and tried to enslave them?"
Jiang Li ordered someone to take the futon, sit cross-legged in front of the Kui people, and said with a slight smile: "You don't have to be hostile to me. For this moment, I have no intention of closing in on you Kui people.
"But the Far North Mountains are adjacent to the border of Li Province. For the sake of the peace of the people under my rule and Li Province, it is still necessary to understand what is happening in the Far North."
Jiang Li raised his head and looked at the Quebec people: "You are hostile to the human race, but you should also know that our human race is different from the Quebec people. We are internally divided into many different forces and countries. The hatred between each other is difficult to resolve.
If the human race that enters the Far North Mountains has a hostile relationship with me, we may not be able to cooperate! "
"The human race is cunning, you can't believe it!"
The Quebecois remained unmoved.
"If you insist on not believing it and don't want to communicate with me, I won't force you. I can also let go of your guilt for stealing cattle and sheep from the wild people!"
Jiang Li was not angry, but said calmly: "But from now on, you and your tribe must leave my territory immediately. If you dare to steal any livestock in my territory, you will be killed without mercy, no matter how old or young! "
Jiang Li said to a group of heavily armored soldiers: "Escort all these Beidikui people out of the country, and don't allow them to damage any livestock along the way!"
After Jiang Li said that, he turned to look at the Kui people in front of him with a gentle smile: "Li Province is vast. Although it is adjacent to the territories of Beimang, Xiyu, and Dashou, it is hundreds of miles away from the nearest land. I wonder if you plan to take your tribe there. Where can I hide from the human race?"
