Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 31 Return 2
"Doctor Kunwu has come to meet you in person, Young Master Zhang Cheng..." Duke Huang's voice trembled a little.Although he knew very well that he was not the protagonist of this welcoming ceremony, even if it was a supporting role, he was still flattered by the honor of the monarch personally welcoming him.

The chariot stopped a short distance away from Dr. Kunwu.Huang Gong and Zhang Cheng respectfully got on and off the chariot, and went all the way to the front of Dr. Kunwu, and the two of them saluted together.Duke Huang was in front, and Zhang Cheng was a little behind.Those who don't understand will probably think that this is Zhang Cheng's modesty. Who knows that he really doesn't understand etiquette and can only stealthily imitate Duke Huang's actions.

Since knowing that the historical development of the two worlds is very similar, he understands that etiquette is very important in this world.Let's put it this way, if you don't give a salute when you meet and talk, your in-laws will become enemies.

On the other side, Dr. Kunwu was very happy to personally support the two subordinates.The Quanrong was defeated first, then the Guirong was defeated, and the secret letter of the Quanrong messenger was seized.Several troublesome problems were solved one by one, Kunwu City was safe and sound, and he gained a lot of prestige, which made him very satisfied.Zhang Cheng has credit, Huang Gong has hard work, and both subordinates must be rewarded.

As mentioned earlier, Dr. Kunwu is not a powerful lord, and all his vassals add up to only twenty or so, of which there are only three sergeants.He had to include his retainers in order to form a chariot force.But the Kunwu clan was passed down from ancient times, with a profound background, no better than others.Although his strength is not strong, it cannot be said that he is weak.In particular, his army is very elite. Although there are only a few dozen chariots, the chariots are all high-level spellcasters and high-level warriors.When fighting with the dog, although the number was inferior, the quality was overwhelming, and the chariots charged as quickly as they would destroy the enemy.And even if there is a loss, the loss is also a chariot and a horse, and the combat personnel on the chariot are very few casualties.In addition, because there are many priests, even injured slaves can easily be treated.So don't look at Dr. Kunwu's continuous active attack, defeating multiple enemies, and achieving great results, but his own losses are very limited.So at this time almost all his subordinates are concentrated here.

Dr. Kunwu took Zhang Cheng and Duke Huang past the other subordinates in a very close gesture.Let everyone see these two meritorious servants.Of course, in fact, this time, almost everyone has credit, but these two are special this time.

"Zhang Cheng beat Gui Rong alone this time," Dr. Kunwu said to the crowd. "I decided to make Zhang a corporal and give him all the fields on the other side of the swamp."

Many people already knew that Zhang Cheng was about to take charge of the crusade against Huai Yi, so although this reward was generous, it wasn't too outrageous.After all, everyone who knows it knows that the fields over there are not good, and secondly, in the midst of the war, the remote areas have actually been abandoned.It is impossible for Dr. Kunwu to arrange the necessary protection forces there, that is to say, in the foreseeable future, Zhang Cheng must defend his Lutian by himself.Well, if safety cannot be guaranteed, it is estimated that even the people of their own fiefs will continue to stay in Kunwu City, instead of returning to their homes to farm.

For this reason, in the face of this generous reward, everyone just called out "Doctor Kunwu is wise" and "Congratulations to Zhang Cheng", and tried their best to show their admiration for Dr. Kunwu in expressions and actions. And goodwill towards Zhang Cheng.Almost no one noticed that Qian in the crowd was silent.

Looking at the intimate gesture of Dr. Kunwu holding Zhang Cheng's hand, Qian almost wanted to swallow him alive.Didn't you say that this man named Zhang Cheng has very limited strength?Why did he let him sweep Gui Rong alone?
However, he did not doubt Duke Huang. After all, this matter can be explained: Gui Rong was in a deep sleep, only one or two woke up, and then Zhang Cheng found a bargain.

Don't say it's impossible, although Gui Rong is not easy to deal with, but after a long sleep, it is normal for their awakening mechanism to have any problems.If it is to hack and slash the unstoppable Gui Rong in his sleep... There is no doubt that it is something that anyone can easily accomplish.What's the credit for this kind of shit?But this is now dead and unproven.Did Guirong come over to prove that Zhang Cheng was just a blind cat and a dead mouse?

Qian finally swallowed the words in his stomach silently.He told him rationally that if he explained the truth to Dr. Kunwu at this moment (of course, the reasonable truth he deduced), he would not only not get support, but would be regarded by Dr. Kunwu and others as having ulterior motives.This is very bad for him.

Hateful guy... out of nowhere...

He had no choice but to rely on Huaiyi's affairs to make this guy suffer.

He took this matter to heart.

Others may not know, and feel that Dr. Kunwu's arrangement seems to be normal.After all, to put it bluntly, it was just a small Huaiyi tribe.The entire tribe added up to a maximum of more than a thousand, with weak armour, insufficient supplies, and lack of witches or alchemists. It was nothing more than relying on the specific terrain of the swamp.The reason why Dr. Kunwu didn't take care of them in the past was not so much because he felt that Huaiyi was dangerous, but because he hated the trouble of the swamp—the threat of the swamp itself was much greater than that of the Huaiyi.According to most people's understanding, the crusade against Huaiyi is not difficult at the moment when the offensive of the Quan Rong is temporarily repelled.It is nothing more than a matter of procrastinating and consuming weapons and food.Of course, according to Dr. Kunwu's arrangement, the crusade against Huaiyi is still very difficult.After all, Zhang Cheng got the status of only two Sima, and his subordinates were "three chariots and a hundred soldiers".With this level of strength, even if Huaiyi took the initiative to fight you in the field, it would still be difficult to fight, and the chance of losing was about half to half.

But Qian knew another secret.He knew very well that unless Dr. Kunwu himself led the army, no matter who tried to attack the Huaiyi with a small number of troops, he would definitely fail.In fact, even if Dr. Kunwu himself leads the army, it is hard to say.

Because although there are indeed Huaiyi on the other side of the swamp, they are not only Huaiyi.

Thinking of this, he felt a little better.If it can prompt Zhang Cheng to go deep into the swamp... even if the entire army is wiped out there, it is not impossible.

Of course, in addition to the move, the others are still very happy.In order to reward his subordinates and to publicize his victory, Dr. Kunwu then held a celebration banquet.

Although Zhang Cheng had longed for the "banquet" at the beginning, it must be said that, after all, it was a barren era of material scarcity, and the so-called "celebration banquet" was far from the big table and bowls on the earth. Even dozens of dishes.In fact, it is very simple by Zhang Cheng's standards.Worth mentioning is a rice bowl...yes, it's really just a bowl of rice, with a little vinegar at the most, and drizzled with meat sauce (and maybe some animal oil).But it was placed in the banquet dignifiedly.

There are also some barbecued, air-dried, boiled and so on... Although it can't be said that it is bad, but according to the modern standards of the earth, eating meat is really not a big deal.At least Zhang Cheng has no special feeling.And because the iron pan was not invented in this era, cooking techniques such as frying had not yet been born, and of course there were no condiments such as chili and fennel.Therefore, even from a neutral position, whether it is the raw material level of the dishes at the banquet, or the cooking level, it is really lackluster by Zhang Cheng's standards.

But I don't know why, some people always come over to introduce the food to Zhang Cheng, as if to show off how good the food here is.Of course, Zhang Cheng was just submissive, but he didn't express any special interest in any case.

Instead, he had time to check the panel.

On the panel, the task of "Detecting the Ghost Rong" has been displayed as completed. Go to the completed task from the task bar, and the reward is clearly written on the task description, "You have eliminated the threat of the ghost Rong, and Doctor Kunwu treats you greatly. To satisfy you, you will be promoted to corporal."

At the same time, the identity of the characters on the panel has also changed. It used to be a wanderer, but now it has become a "corporal".And there is a small note on it: "You are a vassal of Dr. Kunwu".

Don't look at it, it doesn't seem like a big deal, but from the perspective of the game, the difference between "youshi" and "corporal" is a full two points.This point is saved, enough to exchange for a new talent or specialty.This is the advantage of the Youshi status, it is easier to be promoted.If it is a commoner or a slave, it is much more difficult to improve the status.

At the banquet, there were many people with mixed eyes, and because of being in a very good position, Dr. Kunwu, who was sitting in the upper position, was able to observe the audience.Zhang Cheng himself felt that his movements were very hidden, but he was completely unaware that when he closed his eyes, Dr. Kunwu's eyes stayed on him.

While the banquet was in progress, an armed soldier suddenly entered outside, passed through the crowd at the banquet, and handed over to Dr. Kunwu to report something.However, due to the crowds and voices, although Zhang Cheng saw the other party come in, he did not understand what was being reported.

After listening to the report, Dr. Kunwu stood up and walked towards the door of the banquet hall.But it's strange to say that the other people at the banquet didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this scene.Continue to chat if you need to chat, and continue to eat and drink if you need to eat and drink.Some people who are close to each other are talking together secretly at the moment, and they don't care about Dr. Kunwu's actions at all. It seems that this is an ordinary trivial matter.

"Huang Gong," Doctor Kunwu greeted him when he went out, and Huang Gong stood up and followed behind Doctor Kunwu.When he passed Zhang Cheng's seat, he greeted "Zhang Cheng" again.So Zhang Cheng also got up, imitating Huang Gong's attitude and following behind Doctor Kunwu.

After getting up, he couldn't help but call out the panel, and sure enough, a new task was added to the panel.The name is "follow".

Follow: "Dr. Kunwu asked you to follow him. This should be a trivial matter, and you seem to be able to refuse."

Of course it can't be denied.Because if you look at the task with game thinking, Zhang Cheng will easily find that Dr. Kunwu, who doesn't appear in this game, is not an ordinary NPC. This guy is simply the god of NPCs.

Yes, this is the golden thigh that all players have to kowtow, cry and hug.

In Canine Games, a mission is a mission.If you accept the task, you must complete it. If the task fails, the consequences will be immediate.In addition to deducting the rewards that the mission would have provided, the favorability of the relevant characters will also be greatly reduced.At least you don't want to receive any other quests from this NPC.Of course, if this NPC is also doing business part-time, then he will play the role of a profiteer, the purchase price is extremely low, and the selling price is extremely high.On the other hand, the difficulty of the task and the reward are basically related.The kind of task with low risk and high reward, such as dealing with the gnoll scout, is random.It's up to luck whether you can hit it or not.Even so, such tasks are rare.

The task of Dr. Er Kunwu is a complete exception.

So far, Zhang Cheng has received only one assignment from Dr. Kunwu.That's right, it was his first mission when he entered the refugee camp, "Dr. Kunwu's Summoning".As mentioned earlier, this is a simple task without any difficulty, and the task description has a clear hint of "you can not do it".The reward is also seemingly simple "you become the guest of Dr. Kunwu".On the surface it seems nothing.But in fact, this reward is so staggering: free living, free food, free treatment in the camp, free teaching from the camp instructor, automatic increase in the reputation of the camp, automatic reduction or exemption from the bargaining of the camp merchants...

On the surface, there is no direct benefit to you, but in fact, the big benefit is like a pie in the sky.If there is no doctor Kunwu, everything develops as in the game, then at this moment, Zhang Cheng should still be doing those hard and tiring chores, going to chop wood to feed horses to make money, and try to accumulate his own employment expenses.

Now that there is such a second task, Zhang Cheng will definitely not let it go.As for the hints such as "it seems to be possible to refuse", it is obviously a deceit, and he has decided to ignore it.The last "Dr. Kunwu's Summoning" is a perfect example.

The three walked out of the banquet hall, walked all the way out of the castle, and headed towards the refugee camp outside.Zhang Cheng imitated Duke Huang's appearance and followed behind Doctor Kunwu, neither far nor near, and kept his head bowed respectfully along the way.

In other words, this time Zhang Cheng was immediately welcomed by Dr. Kunwu into the castle. After a short rest, the banquet began. He really didn't have a chance to look around in the camp outside.So he was surprised to find that there were many more people in the camp... In fact, he saw an unfamiliar army.
