Baijiang River is rich in fishery products, with numerous species of various sizes.
Shen Hao was lucky today. What he caught was "Qingbo", a fish with delicious meat that is suitable for braised in braise or stewed in soup.
The boat was obviously rented from a fisherman's house, and it had a simple charcoal stove and cooking utensils and tableware.
The freshest river seafood actually does not require complicated and exquisite cooking techniques. Take Baijiang water, boil it, then cut the prepared fish into pieces and add it to the pot, just a little salt.
The original Qingbo soup, Shen Hao added two bowls of it himself and was quite satisfied [Yuyoushu].
Wu Kai also ate, with a bold smile on his face again. His speech and behavior were completely different from before. He seemed to be a bold soldier. There was no hint of calculation, and there was no playfulness in his eyes like before. of brilliance.
"I didn't expect Mr. Shen to be such a good cook!"
"What kind of cooking skills is this? It's just a pot of fish soup. You can do it if you want."
Shen Hao has already filled his third bowl. The main reason is that the bowl on this boat is relatively small. Next to him, Wu Kai ate more slowly, only his second bowl. It looks like a big pot, but actually it doesn’t hold up well.
"Xuanqingwei's rule is to ask less questions, do whatever you are told, do your job, and don't be too fussy." He chewed a piece of fish, sorted out the fishbone with his mouth and spit it out, while chatting with Wu Kai about business.
"Well, I understand the rules. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't do what you shouldn't do. This is actually similar to the military." Wu Kai didn't spit out fish bones very much when eating fish. He chewed everything except the big bones. Swallow.
"Your current mission is to find out what procedures were used for the three strangers who entered and exited the military teleportation circle in Tanshi in early December, and who helped them handle these procedures. Yes, They are the same two people that Gan Lin showed you the portrait before."
Wu Kai took the bowl, took a sip of the soup, and said with a click: "The teleportation array in Tanshi is under the control of the military camp over there. Generally, it rarely interacts with the frontier army's combat organization during non-war times. I’m not familiar with the people over there. But I’ll find a way to find out. Then what?”
"I won't give you the next task until you complete what I just said. Don't worry. In addition, this task is limited to half a month."
Wu Kai smiled and shook his head and said no more.
After finishing the fifth bowl of fish, Shen Hao put down his bowl and chopsticks, and then continued: "Also, I would like to remind you that once you start doing the task, all your actions must be strictly confidential, except for me, the online person, who can communicate with you. Except for this, you are not allowed to reveal any information about the mission to anyone else. Once you are exposed, our Xuanqing Guard will not admit to having any relationship with you."
"I see."
In the end, the two of them finished eating, and no one washed the dishes. They just sat and chatted for a few words before pushing the boat back to the shore. When leaving, Shen Hao took out a thousand-mile note and handed it to Wu Kai for communication. In addition, there were two banknotes with a face value of 10,000, which were considered as advance payment.
Now that Black Flag Camp has been able to pilot cultivation, Shen Hao finally has relatively more money for things like Thousand Miles of Notes, and he no longer always "borrows" them from Feilong.
Wu Kai put the Thousand Miles of Musical Notes away, bowed his hands to Shen Hao and left in the boat. Shen Hao, on the other hand, found the horse he had tied to the tree before, jumped on it, and galloped back all the way.
Shen Hao's leaving figure gradually disappeared, and Wu Kai's face looked grim as he stood on the boat and looked away. He is not a person who likes to laugh, but his face is not friendly. If he does not smile, he will always give people a sinister sense of distance, and people will be subconsciously wary of him. This is not conducive to Wu Kai's communication with others, so he always Is he forcing himself to laugh? After a long time, most people can't tell whether his smile is genuine or fake.
"A cold man."
Wu Kai muttered this in a low voice when he saw Shen Hao's back disappearing completely on horseback. In his opinion, Mr. Shen, who was smiling just like him, was actually colder than him. The smile becomes more fake.
If he wasn't in urgent need of pills and money, Wu Kai would not take the risk of taking a trip into this troubled water? Even if Jiang Cheng became a lobbyist, he wouldn't do it.
After punting the boat all the way down the river, about half an hour later, Wu Kai arrived at a small dock and returned the boat to a local fisherman, then took back his horse and galloped away.
Wu Kai waited for a whole day before entering Yucheng, and then used the teleportation array to return to Haixia.
Haixia has no less than 100,000 troops stationed all year round, more than 70,000 of which need to be rotated periodically with the soldiers at Tanshi and Zhuohuo Pass.
According to the layout of the Jingjiu Dynasty in the south, Zhuohuo Pass was the first line of defense. Although there was a flat plain behind Zhuohuo Pass, military bunkers were artificially built, and dense angular fortifications were used to form a second line spanning hundreds of miles. Second line of defense.
Haixia is the last line of defense. It is relatively relaxed and has holidays. Because of this, Wu Kai could go out for a day or two during his free time.
There are no holidays in Tanshi and Zhuohuoguan. Even if you take turns to rest, you cannot leave the camp without permission.
A forward battalion and a mixed battalion? That's all the troops Wu Kai has in his hands. These two thousand people are not even full for a general. If he were full, he should be able to lead another thousand auxiliary troops? Instead of having all the logistics controlled by the garrison's supply camp like now.
Moreover, there are not many generals like him in Haixia who are not fully qualified. This also shows that Wu Kai's situation is not good.
After arriving at Haixia, Wu Kai returned to his main account and handled some daily affairs with his adjutant, and then turned back to the supply camp.
When Wu Kai came out again, the two silver notes he had just received from Shen Hao yesterday were in other people's hands? And there were a few more Xiao Pei Yuan Pills in his arms.
Pills are also in short supply in the military. According to Wu Kai's position, he can only receive one small Peiyuan Pill every month, which is completely insufficient for him who is in urgent need of a sprint at this stage. You can only buy it privately from the officer in charge of the baggage camp? It is more than 10% cheaper than the one at the auction outside.
This kind of withholding of military resources started when Wu Kaicai came to Haixia. Now you want to get extra practice resources? Then exchange it for money? There are as many as you want!
Over the past year or so, Wu Kai has ruined his entire family fortune. It’s for the possibility of a breakthrough.
He hurriedly returned to his tent and immediately started practicing until the newly obtained elixir was used up.
"It's still close!"
It can’t be said that I am disappointed, but more helpless. You may not be aware of your talent level at ordinary times, but when you are about to face a breakthrough, it will make you helpless.
Many people choose to give up in this situation, because the longer you go, the more you feel that you are wasting time and resources. Why put so much effort into it? Is it so difficult to accept your fate?
Wu Kai did not want to accept his fate. Currently, he is stuck at the sixth level of the God Gathering Realm. As long as he can advance to the seventh level, he will be qualified to compete for the soon-to-be-retired general.
But now the bottleneck that he could see and touch but couldn't break was like a stuck in his throat, preventing him from getting through.
Now the two Great Peiyuan Pills promised by Shen Hao have become Wu Kai's only hope.
