dejected fairy

Chapter 17 It really looks like me!

As we all know, as a dead person, Chen Yuan's face was very stiff, and he couldn't express much at all.

silence.

Zhang Que, the scarred man, hurriedly said: "So that the general can know that this subordinate came to meet you under the order of Marquis Du Yu."

Chen Yuan frowned and said, "How old do you think I am? Will I be a general?"

"Why should you be humble, general?" Seeing Chen Yuan's expression changed, Zhang Que explained, fearing that he might think he was deceiving him, "I saw the general's order on your waist, and Du Yuhou said, The general was born in a noble family, he was bred with energy and blood since he was a child, his martial arts skills are outstanding, he is proficient in bows and horses, and he was appreciated by the officials with a policy theory, and he was named a general at a young age!"

He scratched his head: "I'm not afraid of the general's jokes. When I first heard that it was a son of a noble family who was going to be the commander, he also said that he was a related family. I was very dissatisfied. Only then did I know that the imperial court still has a vision for selecting people!" As he said, he took out his identity token and offered it with both hands as proof.

General Order?
Chen Yuan touched the token on his waist.

It was given to him by Qiu Jingzhi, and it was regarded as a token. Chen Yuan didn't intend to keep it close to his body, so he wore it on his waist. Unexpectedly, by accident, Zhang Que mistook it.

Based on the characteristics of the corpse's mysterious body, he can basically be sure that Zhang Que is not lying.

"Are none of these tokens differentiated?"

Chen Yuan didn't know much about the military system here, other than hearing that "General Zhenwu" was a title, he didn't know much about it.

Just thinking about it, the elders in the village noticed a few people, walked over and said: "It turns out that Chief Zhang knows the Taoist priest."

"Did they come here before?" Chen Yuan took advantage of the situation and asked.

The old man nodded and said: "Boss Zhang and the others are good people, they have helped us defend against the robbers several times, this time it was they who went out to inquire about the news, so that the barren soldiers bravely came in, alas!"

Hearing this, Zhang Que comforted the old man in a low voice.

After the two finished talking, Chen Yuan asked again: "What is the current situation in the Northwest, and why do you look like this? It seems like a rout."

"Ah," Zhang Que sighed, and said with a wry smile: "It stands to reason that Marquis Du Yu should have held a banquet in Longcheng to clean up the general, but now we are the only ones here to meet you. There is a reason... "

Next, after his introduction, Chen Yuan understood the situation in the Northwest.

In today's Northwest, there are three forces.

One is the Northwest Coalition Army, which nominally belongs to the Daning court, but because the entire northwest border is surrounded by the desolate Yan Kingdom, it has been cut off from Daning by land. After a long time, it has degenerated into a union of local warlords.

The second is the Yan Kingdom of the barren people. With the collapse of Daning's rule in the north, Yan Kingdom became the overlord of the North, and began to encroach on the Northwest. It has surrounded nine cities in the Northwest, and its soldiers are very prosperous. It can be regarded as the largest force in the Northwest.

The third one is Daning. Due to the cut off of land routes, its influence has been declining year by year. Only by relying on a soldier stationed in the northwest can it barely maintain its sense of existence.

Daning's military system is divided into the Central Forbidden Army and the local Xiang Army. The one stationed in the northwest is a branch of the Forbidden Army, named "Dingxi Army", which is commanded by Du Yuhou Wei Qian; there are five battalions under the army, led by their respective commanders , when it is full, there are 500 people in each battalion; under the battalion, there is a capital, which is led by the head of the capital, and the capital is full of [-] people.

Zhang Que was the head of the Dingxi Army and commanded a hundred people.

"Marquis Duyu has worked hard for many years to maintain the airs of the Dingxi Army. However, due to insufficient supplies these years, the shortage of staff has become more and more serious. Three months ago, the commander of our Qianfeng Battalion was very confused. The Marquis of Yu went to the imperial court, and the general came to the west!"

"Then what? Why do you look like a remnant soldier?"

Zhang Que's face suddenly collapsed: "Our Dingxi Army is short of food, clothing, and major generals. We have to find a way to maintain it, so we also have a few businesses in the northwest. Who would want to be missed by others. A few days ago, Du Yuhou took The large group of people went to the exchange market, and they were ambushed, and the large group was crushed all of a sudden..." His face showed a look of panic, "My subordinates now remember how terrifying those people who rushed to the battle were, without fear of life and death, No, it can't be killed at all!"

"Huh?" Chen Yuan's eyes flashed brightly, and he asked in detail.

"Those monsters look like people, but their skin is pale, they are very strong, and they are fast. No matter how they kill them, they can stand up again!" The more he said, the more fearful Zhang Que's eyes became, "They are from among them. The army fought outwards, the formation was chaotic, and the brothers trampled on each other! In the end, it was Du Yuhou who ordered the whole group to break through, and we were able to escape, and we were ordered to come here to pick you up. I heard that you, General, have changed for some reason. The itinerary, so I waited without fanfare."

Chen Yuan asked, "How many people are there who can't be killed? Can you actually break up your army?"

"It's not much to say, but appearing in our formation out of thin air, coupled with the cavalry of the barren people, even Du Yuhou will be powerless." Zhang Que sighed as he said.

Chen Yuan stopped asking, and began to think.

"A strange person who can't be killed... a living corpse refined by a secret method? It involves the desolate man, is it the handwriting of the desolate man enshrining the Taoist?"

He remembered the group of desolate cavalry he met on the road, and the leftist traces in the village.

"Qiu Jingzhi said that Taoist Mu has recently approached Lushou Mountain God, and the two seem to be planning something. The mountain god wants to break the barrier before the god of Xishan ascends the throne, so this Taoist Mu is also in a hurry, so he is very special recently. active?"

Seeing his pensive look, Zhang Que and others didn't dare to disturb him, so they called for people to help rebuild the village.

About half an hour later, a thin, swarthy little girl came over with a dirty package.

Chen Yuan collected his thoughts and looked at the little girl, who handed over the package in awe, revealing a canine tooth inside.

"Thank you Brother Shenxian for saving my mother. This was left to me by my father before he left. He said it could keep people safe, so I gave it to Brother Shenxian."

Chen Yuan was startled, and wanted to show a kind smile, but the corner of his mouth twitched, and finally he could only touch the little girl's head and said, "Thank you, I accept it."

The little girl grinned, bowed, and bounced away.

Feeling the pure desire remaining on the canine teeth, Chen Yuan stood up and prepared to leave here.

He is also involved in the troubles of Shinto and Huangliang Dao. If he stays here for a long time, it is very likely to bring disasters to this place, and he does not want to involve too much incense.

As for where to go...

Chen Yuan turned his gaze and landed on Zhang Que who was working not far away.

"These people have been attacked by things that seem to be living corpses, there must be some reason?"

"Zhang Dutou! Zhang Dutou!"

Just at this moment, the young man whose mother was rescued by Chen Yuan rushed over.

"People are coming from Jincheng! It is said that they are leading the order of Yuhou, the capital of Daning, to gather the scattered soldiers and horses!"

"What!?" Zhang Que froze in place, his face changed drastically, "Willing order?"

On the way to Jincheng, Zhang Que, a strong and vicious-looking man, became depressed and confused after confirming that the capital of the Dingxi Army, Yuhou, was dead.

Chen Yuan rode a horse and followed beside him.

Beside him is Li Dingmo, the subordinate official of Jincheng who came to visit this time.

"It's a great surprise to meet you, General." Li Dingmo is a rough man with tendrils, but he is dressed a little elegantly, with silk and satin beside him. I don't know whether it's curiosity or testing.

But Chen Yuan didn't know the elegance of the capital of Daning. If he asked about the original ecology of Lushou Mountain, he might say one, two, three.Therefore, in the face of all kinds of inquiries, Chen Yuan just responded indifferently, making others feel that he regarded himself as a native of the Middle Kingdom with pride.

After Li Dingmo said something, he also felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he changed the subject: "We in the Northwest are certainly not as prosperous as Jiangzuo, but we have a heroic spirit!"

As he spoke, he sang: "The weather at the border of the desert is majestic, and gold and iron horses shoot into the sky. Move the sky and the moon in the starry night, and see the flesh and blood of the recruiters!"

"Good poem." Chen Yuan nodded approvingly, "Who made it?"

"This is the poem written by General Feng Jing and General Feng of Pingxi back then!" Li Dingmo cheered up, with a look of pride on his face, "This general came to the west with an army, and hundreds of clans bowed their heads. There are many legends in his life, and he broke through. Martial Dao Fan Cage, who has become a great master, is one of the few land gods in the northwest of me!"

Chen Yuan became a little interested and asked, "I don't know how this great master is different from ordinary innate warriors?"

He heard the woman in the white dress mention the four great masters in the world, and they seemed to be different from the innate warriors, so he happened to ask.

Li Dingmo didn't doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "Innate warriors have almost infinite energy, can shake the earth, and have a long lifespan. In most parts of the world, they are supreme figures, but the great master has to go one step further. The unity of heaven and man is legendary. Zhongneng can move mountains and rivers with aura, and there are all kinds of incredible abilities!"

"Pneumatic mountains and rivers?" Chen Yuan asked along the way: "Have you met the great master?"

"Well, no." Li Dingmo restrained his momentum a bit, "Our last great master in the northwest was General Feng a hundred years ago."

"A hundred years ago? That's the person from the previous dynasty." Chen Yuan nodded, thinking about the difference between innate and great master.

"Innate warriors are full of energy and have a long lifespan. They may be monks who have opened up the five internal organs and essence orifices, that is, monks at the refining level. The so-called great masters involve 'qi', and they are probably at the level of transforming qi. Then, innate warriors Combined with the great master, it is equivalent to refining Qi in the Hollow Realm!"

He thought to himself, comparing himself.

"It doesn't matter whether you are a congenital or a great master. They are all stronger than the mysterious body. I don't know what state that Taoist is. He can control the sacrifice of living corpses. Maybe he really has the inheritance of corpse repair. Life, practice Taoism and ask immortals."

After thinking about it, Chen Yuan had a plan.

"First use the name of 'General Zhenwu' to see if you can get in touch with the living corpse, and then take the time to find the treasure of yin and yang, and advance to the second rank as soon as possible. If someone finds out, just leave directly, and there is nothing to miss."

He recalled Zhang Que's description of "General Zhenwu".

"Practicing martial arts when I was young, I was appreciated by the emperor, and I came to the Northwest to serve as a military officer. Judging from the age, conditions, and timing of appearance, let alone, it really looks a bit like my physical body, but there is no proof. However, although I inherited the physical body, it is inevitable. If you want to repay karma, then I have to take the lead. One day, you will not only repay karma, but also cut off common fate. What does me have to do with ordinary wealth and honor? Besides, it may not be the General Zhenwu."

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan looked at Zhang Que, who was in a daze, and asked, "Since you came to pick me up, do you know my name?"

Zhang Que lost his mind, showing doubts on his face, but still replied: "Yes, the general's name is Chen Shiji."

"Chen Shiji?"

In the city lord's mansion of Jincheng, Zhizhou Wang Hao looked at the book in his hand and frowned.

"I thought Wei Qian and several commanders were dead, and the Dingxi army was seriously injured, and there were many remnants in my place, just to absorb and reorganize, but another vanguard battalion commander popped up, which is troublesome."

His staff member Liu Yisheng smiled lightly, opened the folding fan, and said: "Wei Qian is dead, and the Dingxi Army is falling apart, who will recognize the title of Commander Chen Shiji? Zhizhou don't need to care about this person."

"Although that is the case, in the end it is someone sent by the imperial court..."

"Imperial court? Where is the imperial court?" Liu Yisheng raised his eyebrows, "If Zhizhou is really worried, there is a plan, let General Zhenwu follow in the footsteps of Wei Qian."

Wang Hui shook his head and said, "Although Chen Shiji is young, he is the son of the Marquis of Jingyang. He died in the northwest, and he will suffer a lot."

"Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If you die, who can you blame? Wei Qian is dead, let alone a Chen Shiji?" Liu Yisheng sneered: "Don't worry if you know the state. By the side, without us holding back barren soldiers and horses in the rear, how can those princes and nobles feel at ease in Jiangzuo to recite poems and fight against each other?"

Wang Hui pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

　I took the kids for a walk, and came back late, and the update was an hour late, don't blame...
