Two days later, at the northern border, Youyun Pass.
A young man in green shirt wearing a black mask rode his horse to the foot of Guancheng.
At the city gate, Dubron, a Sun Lancer, said loudly: "Who is coming? Stop quickly!"
Chu He took out a golden token and threw it up.
When Uncle Dub saw the token, his expression suddenly changed and he said loudly: "Please take off your mask!"
Hearing this, Chu He smiled and took off his black mask.
Dub and all the Blazing Sun Lancers immediately clasped their fists and saluted together, and said respectfully: "See you, Your Highness!"
Chu He put on his mask again and said with a smile: "No need to be polite! My coming to the border is not something that should be publicized, so you understand what to do, right?"
Everyone said in unison: "I have never seen His Highness!"
A quarter of an hour later, the city lord's mansion, the hall.
Chu He met Bai Xiaotian, Li Dongming, and Chen Feng.
The three of them clasped their fists and saluted at the same time, and said with respectful expressions: "See you, Your Highness!"
Chu He smiled and said: "No need to be polite, Xiaotian, call all the Blazing Sun Lancers over here!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
After Bai Xiaotian finished speaking, he started to take action.
A quarter of an hour later, on the school field.
Chu He glanced at everyone and said loudly: "What we are going to do in the future may be dangerous. If any of you want to quit, it is still too late to stand up now. I can let you go."
At this time, a Lieyang Lancer cupped his fists and said: "Without Your Highness, we would still be ordinary soldiers at the border, and we might have died in the battle. With the help of Your Highness, each of our martial arts is comparable to that of Beiliang Kingdom." A school lieutenant officer enjoys ten times the salary of an ordinary soldier, and his family is also allocated land. If anyone dares to be disloyal to His Highness, I, Ding Xu, will be the first to let him go!"
"Yes, if anyone dares to betray, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Your Highness has shown us kindness, and the only way in this life is to repay us with death!"
A famous Lieyang Lancer said one after another.
This is not a show of loyalty, but their true intentions. Part of this is due to Chu He's generous training, and part of it is because of the assimilation effect of military soul seeds, which can greatly increase loyalty.
"Very good, I believe in you!"
After Chu He finished speaking, he activated the Military Soul Technique. The red military soul power covered the entire army. The Ziyang Soul Condensing Technique also injected into the consciousness of every soldier along with the military soul power.
After a while, many soldiers began to breathe out spiritual energy in the virtual form of their souls, allowing their souls to reach the realm of their true form.
Originally, the soul could only draw spiritual energy by breaking through from the virtual state to the true form state, but with the blessing and assistance of the power of the military soul, they could all draw spiritual energy.
Half an hour later, the soul cultivation of all the soldiers broke through to the true form state.
As for the generals above the team rate, they have all broken through to the innate realm.
At this time, Chu He used the power of the military soul to pass on the matching breathing skills to the soldiers.
They breathed in the pure Yang spiritual energy according to the method of breathing in and out, and transformed the pure Yang spiritual energy into the innate pure Yang true energy.
Half an hour later, all the soldiers had broken through to the early stage of the Xiantian realm.
Chuhe also took back the power of the military soul.
At this time, the three thousand Lieyang Lancers knelt down at the same time, clasping their fists respectfully and saying: "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness, we will swear our loyalty to the death!"
In the world of martial arts, the status of masters in the Ningzhen stage is vastly different from those in the Xiantian realm. When they reach the Xiantian realm, they have already entered the threshold of cultivating immortals, and their longevity will be greatly increased.
Chu He directly helped all the soldiers break through the innateness, which naturally made them grateful.
Immediately, Chu He looked at Bai Xiaotian and said, "I'm leaving, and I'll leave these three thousand soldiers to you!"
Bai Xiaotian nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness!"
A quarter of an hour later, Chuhe left behind 3,000 medium-grade spiritual stones as training resources for the Lieyang Lancers.
At the same time, he also taught Bai Xiaotian a set of second-level formations, the Pure Yang Fiery Formation. Let him lead the soldiers to practice formations.
With the help of the formation, even without the guidance of Chu He's military soul, the power of the three thousand Lieyang Lancers can be merged into one, bursting out with a powerful power above the peak of a grandmaster.
Afterwards, Chu He left quietly and went to Tianmen Pass again before heading to Chengzhou in the northwest.
Two days later, Chengzhou, Xikang County, and He County.
A young man in green shirt with a sword on his waist led a horse into a small town. The words "Lushui Town" were written on the archway on the street.
In the northwest region, any town with abundant water resources is bound to be bustling and lively.
However, the town was in a state of depression at this time, with few merchants and vendors on the streets, and very few shops still open.
Chu He looked solemn when he saw this scene. This town is located on the border of Chengzhou, and the disaster should be the least severe, but it is still so depressed. It is obvious that the drought is more serious than he imagined.
After a while, he came to the door of an inn and found an old man in his fifties selling a seven or eight-year-old boy.
The boy lowered his head and hung a wooden sign in front of him, which stated that the boy was his grandson and could be bought for only 10 taels of silver.
Chu He asked: "Old man, why did you sell your grandson? Where are his parents?"
Hearing this, the old man sighed leisurely and said: "Who would be willing to sell his grandson if he could. But now his parents are dead, and I am old and powerless. I can no longer feed him, and I don't know how long I can last." , sell him to the landlord’s family, and at least he can still survive.”
The little boy also looked at Chuhe longingly and said, "Uncle, buy me. I can do laundry, vegetables, and make a fire to cook!"
When Chu He heard this, he sighed and said, "Old man, don't sell your child for now, come with me to the store and have something to eat!"
"Thank you, young hero!"
When the old man heard this, he looked grateful, then took off the sign and followed Chu He with the child.
After a while, Chu He and the others entered the inn. The inn was deserted. He found a seat to sit down and said loudly: "Boss, give us three bowls of Yangchun noodles!"
The young waiter with a rag on his shoulder came over and said with a smile: "Young hero, Cheng Hui 150 Wen!"
When Chu He heard this, he suddenly looked surprised and said: "I remember that a bowl of noodles costs two or three cents at most. Your bowl of noodles costs 50 cents. Are you robbing money?"
The waiter was not angry and said with a smile: "Young hero, this is your first time coming to our Chengzhou. The price you mentioned was three months ago. There is a severe drought in Chengzhou this year, the farmland has lost its harvest, and the price of food has risen. Nearly ten times the price, 50 yuan for a bowl of noodles is already the most reasonable price in this town."
Chu He remained silent and immediately took out a piece of broken silver.
After the waiter weighed the weight, he found dozens of copper coins for Chu He.
After a while, three bowls of hot Yangchun noodles arrived.
The three of them were eating and talking, and Chu He wanted to know the specific extent of the disaster.
And the old man also told everything he knew and talked about it eloquently.
"Our town is pretty good now. You can go hunting in the mountains and find some wild fruits and vegetables. Further to the west, the drought there is more serious. There are people who eat grass roots, bark, and white mud. They are really alive. If we don’t go down anymore, there are still cannibals. I heard that people in many places have rebelled. They robbed the landlord’s wife’s food and went to the mountains to become bandits!”
When Chu He heard this, he said with a gloomy face: "The government just doesn't care? Doesn't the imperial court have Changping Granary? Why don't the counties open granaries to release grain?"
The old man shook his head and said: "I don't know about other places, but the county magistrate of our county said that without an order from the court, one will be held responsible for opening a warehouse without permission."
