Wu Kai still patrols around the teleportation circle every day, and he will not miss every defensive point. The soldiers under his command have long been accustomed to the rigor of the chief officer, and they look down on the lazy bastards in other camps.
However, in recent days, Wu Kai found that the atmosphere in Tanshi was getting more and more tense, and there was a sense of oppression under the clouds.
All kinds of supplies, ranging from weapons, armor, horses, arrows, spiritual stones, to grain, medicine, and clothing, were brought in from the outside in one convoy after another, or came out from the large exit of the teleportation circle.
According to Mr. Chen Bao, who is responsible for recording the incoming and outgoing messages of the teleportation circle, the recent purchase of these materials has exceeded the previous year's purchase. This does not include the total number of chariots and horses that far exceed the throughput of the teleportation circle.
This is hoarding supplies, which shows that the Ministry of War and the Imperial Court have begun to prepare for war.
But what makes Wu Kai strange is that supplies are coming in waves, but so far he has not received any news about the opening of seals by any of the four major front armies. The entire Jingjiu Dynasty still seems to only have access to the area from Haixia to Zhuohuo Pass. Wartime state of martial law.
When did the Jingjiu Dynasty’s military response become so slow? Wu Kai didn't quite understand.
What's sad is that even though so much supplies have arrived, all of them are for war preparations, there are still people who are trying to embezzle them. Look, the "supplementary armaments" sent to Mr. Chen and others are actually only half of the normal equipment standard. This even made Mr. Chen say, "I have never been so rich."
To be honest, Wu Kai thought about killing all the bad guys in the army more than once. But he doesn't have the ability.
In addition, Wu Kai also noticed that the Xuanqing Guard inspectors who usually "eat and wait to die" suddenly started to move, and they could often be seen moving around. This is very strange. These inspectors have always been "waste" and no one looks at them seriously. Why do they suddenly want to show off now?
Moreover, when asked what they are looking at, they are not always willing to give in as before. On the contrary, the attitude of these supervisors today is very tough, and they directly take out the rules and regulations that originally established the supervisors. Although there is no real power, they The word "supervision" actually refers to the power given by the Ministry of War. There is absolutely no problem if you take a look around.
"Just taking a look." This was the answer Wu Kai heard from an inspector when asked about the checkpoints around the teleportation circle. But Wu Kai concluded from the hidden sharpness and coldness in the eyes of these inspectors that they would definitely not just "take a look."
The people in Xuanqingwei are not good guys!
Wu Kai has never been so disgusted with Xuanqingwei as he is now, and he even has some opinions about his former leader, now Xuanqingwei's Jingxi governor, Jiang Chengdu.
It was previously agreed that he would collect information from the border army in exchange for two Da Pei Yuan Pills. I originally thought it was a one-time deal, but who would have thought that it would become more involved.
Only one was given so far, and it was thrown directly into the room where he was resting.
Wu Kai understood that this was someone trying to force him to understand that he could not slack off even in the army, and there would always be eyes watching him.
Even Wu Kai, the man who threw the Da Pei Yuan Dan into his house, was found that day, but he did not dare to act rashly. Who can guarantee that Xuan Qingwei has this one spy next to him? They exposed themselves specifically for him to see. In addition to putting pressure on him, they were also testing him.
After meeting Shen Baihu, Wu Kai really didn't want to fall out with Xuan Qingwei, because Wu Kai always felt like facing a poisonous snake. The best way to deal with a venomous snake is not to kill it, but to take a detour.
What is irritating is not only being stared at and being afraid to act rashly, but what is even more irritating is the other party's subsequent demands. After checking the roster before, he was now asked to contact Xie Kai.
Who is Xie Kai? How could Wu Kai not know that he was the captain who was responsible for guarding this teleportation circle before? He was asked to get close to the captain and find out the inside story of how the three men "Ma San, Xu Qian, and Zhang De" used the teleportation circle.
As for how Xuanqingwei determined that Xie Kai knew the so-called inside information, Wu Kai speculated that it should be determined through the registrant "Liu Qi" at the end of the roster. How is it determined? Wu Kai doesn't know.
But the problem is that Xie Kai has always been in Tanshi, and Wu Kai was in Haixia before. Although the two places are not far away, there is little contact. He has never even met Xie Kai. How can he contact Xie Kai and make him reveal his secret?
The irritability in his heart made Wu Kai always spend longer than usual to calm himself down during practice these days.
Despite the constant turmoil, Wu Kai also had surprises.
The surprise came from the big Peiyuan Pill.
After taking a pill, the effect was completely different from that of Xiao Pei Yuan Pill. It directly added a burst of life to his meridians that had been lifeless for a year, and directly rushed up a lot.
The realm barrier that was always visible and intangible before can now finally be felt. This also means that the possibility of Wu Kai's breakthrough has reached a very high level. As long as he "takes a few steps" forward, there is a high probability that he can break the bottleneck and enter the next small realm.
But it was just a few steps. Wu Kai understood the difficulty. If he could not get the Great Peiyuan Pill as soon as possible, it would not be impossible for him to practice alone for a few more years.
Therefore, getting another Da Pei Yuan Pill as soon as possible is the most important thing in Wu Kai's mind right now. As a result, things were forced to turn back to Xuan Qingwei's new request.
Want to practice great cultivation of Yuan Dan? Then go find Xie Kai and continue investigating. You don’t have to look for it, just think of another way to get the Great Pei Yuan Dan. However, things like the Great Pei Yuan Pill may be available elsewhere with Wu Kai's current position, but expropriation is a common practice here in the border army. It is not easy for him to even get the small Pei Yuan Pill, let alone the large Pei Yuan Pill.
After thinking about it, Wu Kai could only give it a try.
At present, the only way that Wu Kai can find in Tanshi is the boss surnamed Chen. He can only think of a solution on the other side.
The next day, Wu Kai found Mr. Chen and found out that he needed some pills due to his recent practice.
Mr. Chen understood just such a sentence and said with a smile: "Master Wu, if you have no connections, I can introduce you to my former captain. He is selling Teng pills, but the price is not low. As long as It’s half a percent lower than the auction price.”
Wu Kai naturally followed the good and followed the flow. I felt a big sigh of relief, he really got it right.
But Wu Kai wouldn't go there right away if he wanted to buy something. On the one hand, he couldn't appear too eager, and on the other hand, he also had to ask for funds from Xuan Qingwei. He couldn't help Xuan Qingwei with things but have to pay him, right?
This time Xuan Qingwei reacted very quickly, and a stack of banknotes was stuffed into the crack of Wu Kai's door that night. When he opened it, Wu Kai suddenly felt that Xuanqing Weili seemed to be extremely generous with money.
Is this not bad money?
