The system came a hundred years earlier, I kicked Beihai Kindergarten

Seeing Shen Lang laughing so heartlessly, Tang Wei felt suffocated, but after seeing Shen Lang's appearance, he also laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha...Brother Shen, if you put a few scars on your head, you can become a monk." Tang Wei covered his stomach and pointed at Shen Lang and laughed.

The two of them laughed loudly and heartlessly, just like the joy they felt after winning a competition to see who could pee farther.

Both of them have been very busy these past two days and have behaved normally.

But the affairs of Muyun City were like a mountain weighing on their hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.

Not thinking about it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

In addition, the city is still searching for the cultivators from Muyun City, which makes the two even more frightened.

Their smile seemed to be venting all the sadness, anger, resentment, and sorrow in their hearts...

After laughing for a full quarter of an hour, the two finally stopped.

"We won't compete today. We'll continue tomorrow!" Shen Lang turned around, waved to Tang Wei, and walked back with a bald head.

"Well, let's continue tomorrow!"

Chapter 86

"Brother, why did you cut your hair again?"

After an afternoon, the awkwardness had passed a lot.

Looking at Shen Lang, whose hair and eyebrows were gone, Wei Qianluo couldn't help laughing for some reason.

Although Shen Lang had experienced this situation before, Wei Qianluo and Shen Lang were not very familiar with each other at that time. No matter what Shen Lang did, he was always majestic in front of Wei Qianluo.

Unlike now, although they have just experienced some embarrassing things, Wei Qianluo and Shen Lang have become closer.

"Last time it was to become stronger, this time it is so that we can hide better." Shen Lang said seriously: "We can't let you suffer alone."

"Hmm..." Wei Qianluo lowered his head and saw his toes. He felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

…………

Afterwards, Shen Lang and Wei Qianluo settled down temporarily. They worked as blacksmiths during the day, and Shen Lang took Wei Qianluo to practice at night, teaching her how to use blacksmithing to train her Qi control. Wei Qianluo also made rapid progress, and she would surely be able to break through the Divine Sea Realm soon.

Shen Lang and Tang Wei also practice and fight normally every day.

The two of them are becoming more and more proficient in their own Divine Sea Realm spells.

Shen Lang's Thunder and Fire Sword was so powerful that it could either send Tang Wei flying thousands of miles away or just give him an ordinary sting without even a picture.

Shen Lang had no idea how to control or practice.

Unlike the spells in "Snow Falling on the Earth", those have been practiced by countless generations and have long become the most suitable versions for practice.

Just like that, seven days passed in a flash.

Outside Echeng, there is the Echeng military camp of the Northern Expedition Army.

Xu Lie, the commander of Echeng Prefecture in Youzhou, a loyal and martial general, and a powerful person in the realm of divine wandering.

This Northern Expedition Army was not a regular force of the Great Zhou, but was temporarily assembled.

Among them, more than 12,000 people from nine prefectures were mobilized.

Even with such a small number of people, it seems that they are not enough to fill the teeth of the grassland people. After all, there were more than 60,000 soldiers who died in Leiyun Pass and Muyun City, including two battalions of Red Flame Dragon Riders.

I’m afraid that the current Northern Expedition Army is not even enough to defeat a battalion of Red Flame Dragon Cavalry.

However, the imperial court was helpless. Even in this era, with the intervention of a powerful person in the Divine Profound Realm, it would take more than a few days to mobilize the army.

The grassland not only caught Zhao Qingyang off guard, but also caught the Great Zhou off guard!

In addition to the troops guarding Leiyun Pass and Muyun City, Zhao Qingyang also has a guard, a total of five armies and 50,000 troops. The court is currently trying to find a way to mobilize these people.

In the eyes of the imperial court, these nine prefectures were cannon fodder, trying to slow down the grassland people's advance southward.

In fact, if it weren’t for the 50,000 people left behind by Zhao Qingyang, the people from the nine prefectures would have been dead.

In Youzhou, only Zhao Qingyang is a tough guy.

Now that Zhao Qingyang has taken it all, it will be a race against time between the grassland people and the Great Zhou.

The peace of the past ten days or so is mainly for recuperation and regrouping...

Well, these have little to do with Xu Lie. He just needs to be responsible for the people in his own prefecture and be a good captain.

But today he welcomed an unexpected guest, a guest who made his body tremble wildly.

"Your Highness..." Xu Lie, as his name suggests, is a big man with a whisker, but at this moment he is like a quail.

Although he held the rank of fourth-rank official, he was only a captain in a remote area, and his power was not the same as that of a fourth-rank official in Beijing.

The fact that he was sent to Youzhou, Zhao Qingyang's territory, shows that he had not been doing very well before.

Such a mediocre person actually met a big shot today, a real big shot!

The sixth prince of the current dynasty, Ji Wendi.

"How is the capture of the monks from Muyun City going?" Ji Wendi was a young man around 25 years old, looking gentle and elegant.

"We've caught six people... but the higher-ups haven't said what to do with them yet..."

"Dispose of them?" Ji Wendi shook his head: "Who said to dispose of them?"

"So what Your Highness means is..." Xu Lie asked cautiously.

"The defeat of Muyun City has a huge impact." Ji Wendi said solemnly, "Among them, there is no telling how many deserters there are in Muyun City. If we don't catch or kill them, how can we deter the army?"

"It's been a long time since we fought with the grassland people. If there's no knife hanging over their heads, I'm afraid they would be scared before they even start fighting when they see the grassland people."

"Only by telling them that if they don't fight, they will die, can they dare to fight the grassland people to the death."

"So, we kill these captured monks?" Xu Lie made a chopping gesture.

"Oh, monks are different from ordinary soldiers." Ji Wendi shook his head: "Tell them that deserters will die, but they are monks, so we can give them a chance to redeem themselves. Let them join our army and fight against the grassland people."

Capturing monks and sending them to the battlefield is an open conspiracy.

In theory, cultivators are a very special group. As long as they reach the Divine Sea Realm, they will have a certain degree of freedom.

As long as they don't want to, they don't have to work for the court.

Therefore, there are actually not that many monks in the army, and those who exist are all officers.

As long as a monk joins the army, he will be subject to military law, and the laws unique to monks are under military law.

Now that Muyun City has been defeated, the imperial court has a lot of room to maneuver.

For example, who knows whether the cultivators who escaped from Muyun City are from the Tianji Hall of King Zhenbei, the Red Flame Dragon Riders, the palace guards, or ordinary working cultivators?

In this particular environment, gathering the cultivators from Muyun City together and sending them to the battlefield would play a much greater role than soldiers, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance could not say anything.

"Okay, I'll do it right away..." Xu Lie whispered.

"However, there are only six people who escaped to E City. This shouldn't be the case..." Ji Wendi put down the book in his hand and said, "Notify everyone that there will be a reward for reporting the cultivators in Muyun City. Three spirit stones for each person who reports."

"This..." Xu Lie opened his mouth: "What if someone reports it randomly?"

"Those who make random reports will be exiled if they are discovered." Ji Wendi said softly, "If there is enough evidence, even if it is not so conclusive... does it matter whether he is a cultivator from Muyun City?"

If we don't get more monks, the current Northern Expedition Army will probably fall apart at the slightest touch... and will pose no threat to the enemy.

"Yes!" Xu Lie responded.

"Also, we... need to recruit soldiers." Ji Wendi said, "In addition to soldiers, we also need logistics."

"It's too difficult to transfer equipment from the imperial court to here. Let's see if we can fight some here."

“This line of defense must be built.”

"Yes!" Xu Lie shouted: "Xiao Bu!"

clap clap clap...

Just at this moment, a little boy about ten years old, wearing military uniform, ran into the big tent.

"Go deliver some letters..." Xu Lie said.

"Yes!" Xiaobu responded and stood at attention.

"This child..." Ji Wendi frowned slightly: "Isn't he too young?"

"Your Highness... I am suffering here!" Xu Lie began to play the victim: "The money allocated by the court to Zhechongfu in Echeng every year is really too little."

"How can we recruit more soldiers than the King of Zhenbei? Basically, all the promising ones have gone to join the army of the King of Zhenbei. Even if it is close and safe, no one is willing to join the army here."

"This kid was a little beggar before. His name was Lu... Yes, Lu Xiaobu. If the conscription notice had not relaxed the age standard, I'm afraid the little beggar would rather beg than join our army."

"I understand." Ji Wendi looked calm.

He had a lot of dissatisfaction with Xu Lie.

If you can't recruit soldiers, it's not because you are incompetent. How can other prefectures recruit them?

Like the Daning Prefecture I passed by before, the people there were very beautiful, with neat military uniforms and uniform ages.

Over there, I was given all kinds of delicacies to eat, all brought to me voluntarily by the soldiers.

We are both in Youzhou, look at others, then look at yourself!

If there is an opportunity for promotion, would you still be given a chance to do things poorly?

It's ridiculous.

Seeing that the young master was unmoved, Xu Lie used a big move: "By the way, young master, in addition to the six cultivators, we also captured a Red Flame Dragon Rider..."

"Red Flame Dragon Rider?" Ji Wendi paused.

…………

Soon, Ji Wendi arrived at a temporary prison in the military camp.

I saw a young man wearing prison clothes and with shackles on his hands and feet, sitting on a straw mat.

"Are you the Scarlet Flame Dragon Rider?"

"Red Flame Dragon Riders, Second Battalion, Fourth Team, Qiao Shan." Qiao Shan gave his name.

These days have been a complete torture for Qiao Shan.

After he left Mo Yi, he went to the county government office. However, when people heard that he was a Red Flame Dragon Rider, they arrested him without saying a word and accused him of being a deserter.

Qiao Shan found out what happened in Muyun City while in prison.

He didn't stay in the city for long before he was transferred to the military camp.

No one listened to him, no one cared what he went through.

It seemed that catching this deserter was a great achievement for those people.

As time went by, Qiao Shan's heart grew cold.

"Are you a deserter?"

“No.” Qiao Shan let out a long breath and said calmly, “That day, an axe shadow appeared in the sky above Muyun City, breaking the Muyun barrier and the palace barrier.”

"I have been ordered to inspect the palace and send all servants back to their rooms."

"After that, follow the orders of the chief steward Zheng Qingfeng to guard the gate of the palace."

"After the butler disappeared, the team led us to the streets to kill the monsters, and then retreated back to the gate of the palace."

"During this period, we killed countless monsters."

"People around me fell one after another, and I fell too."

"At the moment I fell, the prince cast Snow Drifting on Earth, which concealed the temperature of my body and temporarily dispelled the monster, so I was able to survive."

"When I woke up again, I was already on a mountain of corpses outside the city."

"I wanted to fight desperately, but I had no dragon rider armor, no weapons, my true energy was exhausted, and my body was severely injured. I couldn't even move."

"It was a monk from the palace who took me away. She also crawled out from the pile of dead bodies."

"After that, I was taken to Goose City and treated by her."
