Nine days alone

In the barracks of the Red Tiger Army.

Fang Zhong, his subordinates Zhang Daniu, Tong Man, and a group of subordinates who came out of the endless mountains sat together and chatted casually.

"My lord, I heard that the selection of the new Qianhu will be announced soon. I wonder who it will be?" Tong Man laughed and asked casually.

"Yeah, my lord, tell us about it. It's good to have a bottom line in your heart. If you meet another Qianhu like Xu Changfeng, it will be unlucky." Others also urged, Xu Changfeng is dead, so they naturally No need to call Xu Changfeng Xu Qianhu.

"Keep your voice down, everyone." Fang Zhong hissed, made a gesture of silence, and said, "You can't talk nonsense about the appointment of the new Qianhu. This is a violation of military discipline. Besides, I don't know who it is. Anyway, it won’t be me.”

As soon as Fang Zhong said a word, a group of soldiers under his command exploded in anger, "Why can't you be an adult? I don't think anyone in our third battalion is qualified to be a thousand households except for an adult."

"Yes, isn't the army judged by martial arts? The strength of your lord is obvious to all. It's not innate, it's better than innate, and this thousand households deserve their names."

"Anyway, I think this thousand households should belong to adults, and I won't accept anyone else..."

The soldiers under him were in chaos, muttering noisily, leaving Fang Zhong speechless. It wasn't that he didn't want to be a thousand householders, but he was afraid that his qualifications would be too low to convince the crowd.

What's more, after all, he is still too young, only 15 and a half years old, so what if he is strong enough, if he is really allowed to become a thousand households, how can the other centurions be convinced?

Xue Yan and Liu Yuan may not say anything, they are all fateful friendships, but what about the others?

There are ten centurions in the third battalion. These people are all staring at Qianhu's position. No one is convinced. They almost went to war the day before yesterday. If someone didn't stop them in time, I'm afraid the appointment of the new Qianhu has not yet been completed. When we come down, we will perform the whole martial arts first.

"Okay, don't talk about it." Fang Zhong's face darkened, and he waved his hands, "Who is appointed as the new Qianhu is a matter for the higher-ups, and Master Tong has his own decision, so we don't need to say more."

"But my lord..."

"Well, do you want me to say it again?" Fang Zhong's eyes turned cold, and all the soldiers of the Red Tiger Army stopped talking and retreated.

Everyone was silent, depressed and aggrieved, but Fang Zhong was full of prestige, they didn't dare to say any more, they could only keep silent in order to express their opinions.

Sensing the situation here, Liu Yuan and Xueyan looked at each other and walked over together.

Liu Yuan got along very well in the army, and he was acquainted with many soldiers. He usually made jokes, drank and played cards. Did Brother Fang Zhong reprimand you?"

Snapped!

All the soldiers saluted together and shouted: "No!"

Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his lips, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but he was stunned when he raised his eyes, and hurriedly saluted: "My subordinates will see Mr. Dutong."

Everyone was startled, and following Liu Yuan's gaze, they saw Dutong Qi Chongwu walking quickly, followed by nine adults from thousands of households.

Immediately, everyone saluted together: "See Mr. Dutong."

Qi Chongwu came quickly with nine thousand households, with an imperceptible smile on his face, but his eyes were on Fang Zhong, and he waved his hands and said, "Get up, I'm not here to worship you, All the troops line up, I have something to announce."

Array, array!

The horses galloped, the flags fluttered, and the soldiers of the third battalion all moved, forming an orderly team.

Qi Chongwu nodded after the battle formation was assembled, and said: "The battle formation of the armies is rigorous, not bad, very good! I believe you have also heard that Xu Changfeng and Xu Qianhu, the last third battalion of the third battalion, suppressed wild beasts in the endless mountains. We are all deeply saddened by this unfortunate loss.”

"However, the Red Tiger Army cannot live without thousands of households, and the third battalion of one thousand soldiers cannot be without one leader, so I am here today to announce the new candidates for the thousand households..."

Everyone's heart moved.

"My lord general has decided that the new Qianhu of the third battalion will be selected from the several centurions under the third battalion." Qi Chongwu's eyes lit up, and he walked around among the centurions, saying: " You are all very good, both in military training and combat are very capable, so each of you has the potential to become a thousand households."

Several centurions felt hot in their hearts, so each of them still had a chance.

It is not so easy to become a thousand households of the Red Tiger Army. In the past, official positions were judged by martial arts, and thousands of households also needed to compete, and the competition was extremely fierce. According to the real strength, among these centurions, except for Fang Zhong, Others are not strong enough.

But according to Qi Chongwu, it seems that this time there is no need to compete for official positions, but to be directly appointed by the general, so each of them still has hope.

"Now I announce..." Qi Chongwu's voice suddenly became louder, "The first army, the new Qianhu of the third battalion is Fang Zhong!"

"Fang Zhong, it turned out to be Fang Zhong."

"It's Fang Zhong, how is it possible, he has only been in the Red Tiger Army for more than half a year, how can he sit in the seat of Qianhu?"

Several centurions had mixed feelings in their hearts, and their expressions were very exciting, some were surprised, some were unwilling, some were envious, and some nodded in agreement, to name a few.

But Fang Zhong felt a little surprised. He never thought that it would be his turn to be Qianhu's seat, but now he suddenly heard Qi Chongwu's announcement, but he couldn't believe it.

"Fang Zhong, hurry up and take the seal from Qianhu." Qi Chongwu said with a smile, flipped his palm over, and a purple-red seal appeared on it, which was the seal of Lord Qianhu.

"Oh." Fang Zhong came back to his senses, held back his excitement, stepped forward to accept the Qianhu seal, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Fang Zhong will live up to Dutong's cultivation, and work hard to do a good job in the third battalion of Qianhu."

"Well, you're still young, so you can learn from other people what you don't understand in the military, and you'll be fine once you get used to it. As for other things, let's wait until you get familiar with military affairs first."

Qi Chongwu smiled slightly and said: "From now on, you are also a thousand households. This seal has been handed over to you. Other things, such as horses, armor, and some special items will be delivered to your camp later. I should go back now, so don't send it away."

Behind Qi Chongwu, the nine thousand households and Fang Zhong were polite one by one, said some friendly words, and then left with Qi Chongwu.

line up!

Although Qi Chongwu said not to send them off, all the soldiers still lined up to salute, shouting: "Send off to Mr. Dutong."

Seeing Qi Chongwu and the nine thousand households leave one by one, Fang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the seal of the thousand households in his hand, he felt very complicated.

"I didn't expect that it was me who was promoted to Qianhu in the end, and the general personally promoted me. Well, I should have seen my strength and potential. Instead of doing unnecessary martial arts competitions, it is better to give me a promotion directly. You can also sell me a favor."

Fang Zhong is not stupid, and he figured out the reasoning very quickly, but he is still very grateful to Qi Chongwu and the general, at least it saved him a lot of twists and turns.

Looking back, Fang Zhong put away the Qianhu seal and said, "Let's go, Mr. Dutong has already left, and we should also leave."

Liu Yuan chuckled and said, "Leave like this. Brother Fang Zhong, you are too mean, right? This promotion to Qianhu is a treat."

The others also rushed forward and shouted happily: "Yes, I must invite you. I want to eat at the best restaurant in Zhaonan County for three days, hahaha..."

All the soldiers were in high spirits, and those centurions who were a little bit unwilling were also infected by everyone's emotions and smiled.

After all, they all knew in their hearts that if they really competed for the position of a thousand households by fighting for official positions, Fang Chong would probably win. His strength lies in his strength, and he is indeed superior to others.

Thinking of those centurions in this way, the centurions are relieved. Qianhu deserves to be on Fang Zhong's head, and Fang Zhong is not like Xu Changfeng. Compared with the previous Xu Changfeng, he was much better.

The crowd cheered, and Fang Zhong was agitated by his joy, and he waved his hands proudly: "No problem, let's go to the best restaurant in Zhaonan County, eat for three days, everyone open their stomachs, eat whatever you want, drink whatever you want Point, everything is on my account."

"Roar... Roar..."

The army cheered loudly, and the sound was so loud that it almost spread throughout the entire barracks, causing the soldiers of the Red Tiger Army in the distance to look sideways and curiously.
