The Long Jie Army is stationed in the north of Stone City. The entire military camp covers an area of 100 acres and is surrounded by a wooden fence about one and a half people high. It is formed into a circle. A row of catapults are neatly placed on both sides of the school field; the middle of the school field can accommodate thousands of soldiers. Practice together.
"Drive! Drive!" Four or five horses carrying a few strong men passed through the antlers posted in front of the camp and galloped in. From a distance, there was a cloud of dust.
"Wang Baihu, the Major General is receiving important guests!" The soldier guarding the gate of the military camp stopped him with his halberd and pulled the horse's rein with one hand: "Please dismount and walk."
"Dismount!" The leading man waved, and the men behind him dismounted and handed the reins to the soldiers guarding the gate: "May I ask who the major general is receiving, and why he is so careful?"
"That man looked tall and tall, and he was domineering." The soldier guarding the gate whispered: "When he walked through the camp gate, I felt a chill on my body for some reason!"
"Hey! Xiao Linzi, is it as exaggerated as you said?" A strong man behind Wang Baihu mocked: "You only have so much courage, no wonder you keep guarding the camp gate!"
"Silence!" Wang Baihu glared hard at the man who was speaking behind him: "This is when the soldiers should be practicing military formations, but there is no sound in the camp. There must be a reason."
Wang Baihu led a few strong men forward slowly, and saw from a distance that the school grounds were completely surrounded by dark soldiers on three levels inside and three outside, but no one spoke, except for the sound of clashing weapons from time to time.
"I'm going to the school grounds to see if the Major General is there?" Wang Baihu waved to the soldiers behind him, please disperse.
"Yes, Lord Baihu." These soldiers did not disperse in a hurry, but entered the crowd of onlookers in an orderly manner, looking well-trained.
"Qiao Baihu, what are so many people doing here?" Wang Baihu patted a man on the shoulder with his right hand.
"Hush!" Qiao Baihu made a silent gesture, then waved away the crowd and asked Wang Baihu to come to the front of the crowd: "Young General is competing with others, don't make a sound."
Wang Baihu looked toward the center of the school field, where a seven-foot-tall blue-helmeted boy was playing an ordinary trick with great success.
I saw those gun shadows as fast as the wind, taking turns to stab the boy in black armor opposite; the boy in black helmet did not mess up at all, the Mo Dao in his hand showed off his moves, and there was a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Be careful!" The blue-helmeted boy jumped up high and swiped the spear in his hand horizontally. The force of the spear looked like flowing spring water, attacking the black-helmeted boy in circles.
"That's right! That's what makes it interesting." The young man in black helmet held the knife with both hands and hung the tip of the knife to the ground. He just broke into the force of the gun, flashed left and right, and passed through easily.
"Dang!" The Mo Dao collided with the flower gun for the first time. The smile on the corner of the black-helmeted boy's mouth suddenly disappeared, and a dark aura flashed from the handle of the knife, which instantly enveloped the entire Mo Dao.
The boy in the blue helmet held the gun horizontally with both hands, trying his best to resist Mo Dao's sword force; gradually, he felt weak, and one knee was already pressed to the ground.
"The Major General's deadly shooting technique of dragon and snake has actually failed?" Wang Baihu was secretly shocked: "Qiao Baihu! Who is this young man in the black helmet? He is so powerful?"
"Wang Baihu, you must be ignorant!" Qiao Baihu said with a smug smile: "This young man with a black helmet is Zhang Ye, the younger brother of the current Lord Sinong."
"It turns out to be him, no wonder he is so powerful." Wang Baihu nodded: "It is said that this man once defeated the Chang'an defense guard of the Xuanwu Academy with one punch at the engagement banquet of Ye Hu, the son of the master of the White Tiger Academy of the Jingwei Palace."
"Not bad!" Qiao Baihu sighed: "It's really better to meet him than to be famous. I didn't expect that the young general would also come up short in a competition with him."
"Drink!" While the two were talking, the boy in the blue helmet summoned up his strength, raised his hands to grab the Mo Dao, and swung the Mo Dao away. Zhang Ye used the power of the prop to jump up high, and then slashed with the knife. Down.
The young man in the blue helmet waved his spear, and a transparent force that looked like a dragon or a snake flew towards the direction of Zhang Ye's whereabouts.
Zhang Ye changed his chop into a chop, and the mighty dragon-snake energy turned into two halves under his blow and whizzed past him; when his feet landed a little, Mo Dao had already been swung in front of the blue-helmeted boy.
"Dang!" The boy in the blue helmet was horrified when he saw this, and quickly blocked the gun; Mo Dao had a dark power.
He was so angry that he hit him in a semi-fan shape.
"Hmm!" The blue-helmeted boy was knocked back a few steps by the strong force, and the breath in his chest flowed from his dantian everywhere, barely squirting out blood.
"Shaolin! Although your flower spear moves are gorgeous, they are not practical enough." Zhang Ye waved the Mo Dao lightly, stood proudly, and stopped chasing: "It seems that you need to practice more."
"The eldest brother is worthy of being the number one in this army, and the younger brother is willing to be inferior." This young man in a blue helmet was Lu Shaolin, the son of the coach of the Long Jie Army. He forced himself to hold up his body with a flower gun to prevent himself from making a fool of himself in the army.
"Hmph! What kind of number one!" Zhang Ye snorted, with a dark face: "If you don't defeat that person in one day, it doesn't count!"
"Brother! Please go to my little brother's tent to talk." Lu Shaolin adjusted his breath for a while, exhaled the turbid air in his chest, and then felt better.
"Stop standing around, stand still! Stand still!" Qiao Baihu looked at the retreating figures of Zhang Ye and Lu Shaolin, and shouted to the onlookers: "Take your weapons and practice."
Following Qiao Baihu's order, the originally scattered soldiers quickly formed a square formation, holding long spears, and their deafening shouts filled the sky.
In the errand room of the Ministry of Finance, Li Chuan shook his head with his hands from time to time, and he still seemed to be feeling dizzy.
"Brother Li, what's wrong with you?" Tong Bo asked pretending to be concerned when he saw that Li Chuan looked wrong.
"Oops! I'm still a little dizzy." Li Chuan covered his forehead with his right hand and looked at Tong Bo: "Brother Huang, you must have remembered all the rules in the missionary room that I just mentioned."
"I remember everything." A smile flashed at the corner of Tong Bo's mouth. Yesterday, he drank Li Chuan hard with the pungent smell of wine, and it finally worked.
"I'll go back to my room and take a rest. Brother Laohuang will take care of the errand room." Li Chuan stood up and started to walk out.
"Brother Li, don't worry, Huang will definitely fulfill his mission." Tong Bo bowed his hand towards Li Chuan.
"Oh! That's right!" Li Chuan had already reached the door of the mission room, and suddenly turned around and told Tong Bo solemnly: "The backyard of the Ministry of Revenue is a forbidden area. Except for the minister and the two ministers, everyone else is prohibited. enter."
"Huang only cares about the affairs in this errand and won't go anywhere." Tong Bo said perfunctorily to Li Chuan and thought to himself: "See how serious he said it, there must be something fishy in this backyard!"
Zhang Ye walked into Lu Shaolin's tent with high spirits, and sat down on the main seat with a golden sword. However, Lu Shaolin completely lost all his energy in front of him, and stood at the bottom respectfully.
"Shaolin, there have been a lot of rumors about you in this stone city recently!" Zhang Ye stared at Lu Shaolin with sharp eyes: "Your Majesty will come to the city to inspect the armed forces after paying homage to Buddha at Wanfo Mountain. I don't want to cause any trouble."
"Brother, don't listen to the nonsense outside." Lu Shaolin raised his hand towards Zhang Yeyi: "You know Shaolin, except for training soldiers in the camp, he never goes out every day."
"Hmph! That's the best." Zhang Ye snorted, quickly passing by Lu Shaolin and walking out of the tent.
"Brother, noon is approaching." Lu Shaolin saw that Zhang Ye was about to leave. He quickly turned around and cupped his hands and said, "My little brother has ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch for lunch. It won't be too late to leave after finishing it."
"No need, I have to go to a few other military camps to have a look." Zhang Ye walked out of the camp without even looking at Lu Shaolin.
"Huh! Zhang Ye is still the same as before, with a strong spirit." Seeing Zhang Ye leave, Lu Shaolin breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on his seat with his heavy legs; he stroked the chair handle with both hands and Face obsessed: "The position of Marshal Long Jiejun can only be mine, no one can take it away."
"Young General, I would like to see you, Wang Shoulin, who is of humble rank." Wang Baihu's voice calling for an audience rang out from outside the big tent.
"Come in." Lu Shaolin cheered up, swept away his decadent look, and looked directly at Wang Baihu who came forward: "Have you investigated all the things I ordered you to investigate?"
"Young General, you are humble and incompetent." Wang Baihu knelt down on one knee, bowed his hands and said, "We failed to find that girl!"
"What's going on?" Lu Shaolin became furious after hearing this: "You have been stationed in this stone city for a long time and have so many spies, how come you can't even find a girl?"
"Major General, please calm down!" Wang Baihu lowered his head and reported: "We already found the Sifang Tavern that day, but this girl seemed to have been taken away by a strange boy who entered Stone City!"
"
Strange boy? Lu Shaolin frowned: "Tch!" This matter is becoming more and more troublesome. No stranger has entered Stone City for a long time. "
"Major General, what should I do next in my humble position?" Wang Baihu was a little at a loss when he saw Lu Shaolin suddenly becoming silent.
"If we continue our investigation, we must find Wen Lin and the young man who took her away." Lu Shaolin instructed: "Report their whereabouts without alerting others."
"Yes, I'll go now." Wang Baihu received the clear order and quickly bowed and exited the big tent.
In the ward of the Ministry of Revenue, Tong Bo kept thinking about Li Chuan's words and the spellings of "three days, fire seal, take out" in his mind.
"Brother Huang, Brother Chuan really trusts you." Zhang Ergou, the tax officer, handed the order to withdraw the tax license and uniform to Tong Bo, who was in charge of the police station.
"Brother Ergou, what do you mean by this?" Tong Bo looked at the warrant, opened the wooden cabinet with the key left by Li Chuan, took the tax tag and uniform, and put it on the long table.
"Our brothers have been in this household department for so many years, and we have never had the experience of being in charge of the ward alone." Zhang Ergou said with excitement while changing into his errands: "And as soon as you came, Brother Chuan took charge of the ward. If I leave it to you to manage, what is this but trust?”
"Where? Brother Li is feeling a little unwell, so he asked Huang to take care of him for a while!" Tong Bo smiled at Zhang Ergou: "Brother Ergou, today I'm on duty, how about Huang inviting all the brothers to drink?"
"That's a good relationship." Zhang Ergou was overjoyed when he heard that there was wine to drink: "Let's book it in the kitchen, the wine can't be bad!"
"Definitely!" Tong Bo asked deliberately: "Brother Li just said that you can't enter the backyard casually. Brother Ergou, do you know why?"
"That yard is a special place for making fire seals for fire seal silver. It is an important place." Zhang Ergou mentioned the backyard and his face became serious.
"That's it!" Tong Bo smiled: "It's getting late, Brother Ergou, hurry up and go to work! We'll see you in the evening!"
