Chapter 295
When Xiao Chen accepted the inheritance of the swordsmanship, the recruitment in the imperial city was also in full swing.
Zhao Yun, who was instructed to form the Third Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, set up a temporary army camp for recruiting soldiers outside the south gate of the Imperial City.
In just a few days, Zhao Yun has recruited more than 10,000 people.
Among these people, the one with the highest cultivation base has even reached the martial master level, and the one with the lowest cultivation base also has three-star martial disciples, and the quality of the soldiers is quite good.
"This general, I also want to join the Empire's army, may I?"
Just as Zhao Yun was leading the soldiers to recruit, a slightly dull voice rang in his ears.
Zhao Yun looked up, only to see a middle-aged man in green in the appearance of a scholar standing in front of him.
The strength of this middle-aged man is not bad, he has reached the perfect martial artist, and he is the person with the highest cultivation base that Zhao Yun has seen since recruiting troops.
"Of course, with Mr.... Your Excellency's strength, you can definitely be a general in the army."
Zhao Yun originally wanted to call him Mr., but he felt that it was a little inappropriate, so he called him Your Excellency instead.
At the same time, he also saw the extraordinary temperament in the middle-aged man that did not match his own cultivation.
The middle-aged scribe didn't care about Zhao Yun's title, but chuckled lightly: "This general, I don't know if you can introduce me to Your Majesty, and I am especially attracted by it."
Zhao Yun hesitated at this moment. Although the opponent's strength was not bad, it would be a bit whimsical to meet Xiao Chen as soon as he entered the army.
It's not that Zhao Yun has contempt, it's really a martial master's perfect cultivation, and it's nothing under Xiao Chen's hands.
Just because the other person has an extraordinary temperament should not be used as a reason for referral.
Seemingly seeing Zhao Yun's worries, the middle-aged scribe didn't open his mouth to explain, but lightly tapped his finger on the ground, and then several complex lines appeared on the ground.
When he saw these lines, Zhao Yun's face suddenly became solemn, and then he stared at the middle-aged man with a straight face and asked, "Dare to ask your honorable name?"
This was the first time that Zhao Yun had looked at the person in front of him, and even put him in a higher position than himself, which made the soldiers around him and the soldiers around him a little curious.
The middle-aged man bowed his hands to Zhao Yun and said, "I'm just going to Zhu Wu, please give me more advice."
Zhao Yun also bowed his hands to Zhu Wu and said, "Mr. Zhu Wu, please, I will take you to see Your Majesty."
He didn't dare to neglect Zhu Wu at all, because he was very aware of the status of an array master.
"This general, can I bring this old man with me?"
Just when Zhao Yun was about to take Zhu Wu to see Xiao Chen, a low but hearty voice sounded, once again attracting Zhao Yun's attention, making him stop.
He saw an old man in his fifties wearing armor and a gray beard walking towards him.
This old man was seven feet long, and he held a dragon prisoner stick that was about a zhang long in his hand.
When Zhao Yun saw the old man, he was shocked again. He didn't expect that there would be a strong military commander to participate in the recruitment, which was really unexpected.
Even if Wu Shuai is currently under Xiao Chen, he is definitely a good powerhouse.
The head coach of the Tenglong Legion like Zhang Liao is only an eight-star martial arts commander, but this old man's cultivation has reached a seven-star martial arts commander.
Judging from his cultivation base alone, he was already qualified to meet Xiao Chen in person.
"I don't know your honorable name, are you also here to participate in the recruitment of my Great Zhou Empire?"
Zhao Yun does not want to give up such a martial arts master easily. If he can recruit the opponent into his army, the strength of the army will be greatly enhanced.
The old man walked in front of Zhao Yun, and then said solemnly: "Old Yang Lin, I heard that the emperor of the Great Zhou Empire was benevolent, righteous, and wise, and came here to defect. I hope this general can help introduce him. Yang Lin is very grateful."
"Since I came to seek refuge with Your Majesty, Zilong is bound to do so. It just so happens that I and Mr. Zhu Wu are going to meet His Majesty the Emperor, so let's go together."
Yang Lin came to seek refuge with Xiao Chen, just in line with Zhao Yun's wishes, so he went to recruit them painstakingly.
After the three of them left in the direction of the palace, there was a heated discussion behind the countless people who participated in the recruitment.
"Who are these two people, who can make General Zilong personally introduce him to His Majesty."
"I don't know, but looking at the incomprehensible aura on them, they are obviously masters."
"I think so, otherwise, how could General Zilong take them to see His Majesty?"
"It's really good luck. I just came to participate in the recruitment and I can get the personal reception of His Majesty. It's going to soar into the sky."
...
The recruiting in the imperial city is in full swing, and a hundred miles outside the imperial city, a giant snake is slowly heading towards the city gate.
This organ snake is more than 30 meters long, the thickness of the body part is about three meters, and the snake's body is extremely red.
At the head of the snake, a thin old man with a bowed waist was looking forward with a weird smile.
The old man looked very frail, with a long slender beard on his chin, and a striking black scar on his left face.
His left hand seemed to have some hidden problems, and he was wearing a fake hand made of an organ.
The action of this mechanical snake is very flexible, no matter what kind of terrain it faces, it can easily pass through without being affected by its huge size.
"Master, what do you think that is?"
On a low hill, a wretched young man said to the burly man beside him.
There are nearly a hundred people standing behind the two of them. Most of these people are in the martial arts realm, and they are obviously a powerful bandit.
The burly man with a scar on his face looked at the snake that snaked forward with a ruthless look on his face.
"MD, no matter what he is, grab it first," the big man said through gritted teeth.
Since Xiao Chen regained the throne, the group of bandits who were close to the imperial city have restrained a lot from Xiao Chen's prestige, and they haven't made a move for several days.
But bandits are also human, and they also need to eat!
After so few days of looting, the materials stored in the cottage have been almost consumed by them.
"Hey, you old man, stop for Laozi, I will drive this road, if you want to pass this way, leave it to buy road money."
Under the leadership of the burly big man, a group of bandits successfully stopped Gongxuqiu.
Facing the sudden interception, the expression on Gong Shuqiu's face did not change in particular.
Instead, he had a weird smile and said in a hoarse and deep voice: "The world is getting worse, and you are going to rob me, an old man?"
The burly man said viciously: "Old man, don't gossip with Lao Tzu here. If you are sensible, hurry up and come down to me, and then hand over all the gold and silver treasures on your body, and I will leave you a way to survive."
The organ snake is three meters high, and the burly man who is close to two meters looks a little short in front of it.
Gong Shuuqiu lay on the edge of the snake, looked at the ground and said, "Isn't this embarrassing my old man? How can I be so high! The old man has a lot of gold and silver treasures on him, why don't you pick me up? "
The bandits' eyes lit up as soon as they heard Gong Shuqiu said that he had carried a lot of money with him.
The burly man at the head was even more ecstatic: "Mazi, hurry up and bring him down to me."
The wretched young man heard the words with a sinister smile on his face: "Don't worry, boss, I'll go right now."
After he finished speaking, he took the two bandits and walked towards the trap snake a few meters in front of him.
No one noticed that the corner of Gong Zuoqiu's mouth revealed a sinister smile.
