Chapter 363 Quartermaster: Xu Wei (Two in One)

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi looked at each other. It has to be said that the two special items dropped from Ye Mazi's treasure chest were beyond their expectations.

Bai Xiaowen opened the [Matsuura Xinkuro's reply letter], read it once, and said: "It's true. Ye Mazi...is not a fake Japanese, but a real Japanese! He is a samurai from the Matsuura family of the Japanese pirate family, and his real name is Maya... ..."

"Is he a real Japanese? Why...pretending to be a fake Japanese?" Li Shuyi was a little confused.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "I can't guess that. However, Ye Mazi is a real Japanese, which is good news for me."

Bai Xiaowen took out the "filthy heart" of Black Zombie King and fused it with Ye Mazi's blood. Sure enough, the filthy heart reacted, and the black mist above was absorbed bit by bit, and merged into the blood.

Soon, the filthy heart was washed clean, and Ye Mazi's blood also turned pitch black, slowly evaporating and dissipating.

Bai Xiaowen blended the washed heart into Absolon's blood essence stone.

The damaged Blood Essence Stone emitted a burst of red light, "swallowing" the heart directly, and then the light flashed again, and the item name changed again, becoming:

[Abu Sauron's Blood Essence Stone (slightly damaged)].

"I didn't expect that the essence core of the White Ghost Queen, the heart of the Black Zombie King, and the blood of Chen Dong and Ye Ma, and the four leader-level special items could not restore the blood essence stone," Bai Xiaowen shook his head and laughed, "On the one hand, the product produced by the lord is indeed high-end. On the other hand, we killed Abu Sauron at that time, and it was too serious a trick."

If he was tough and killed Abu Sauron, what he would get would be a complete Blood Essence Stone.

Li Shuyi smiled and comforted: "It's okay, I'm looking forward to this blood essence stone more and more now."

Bai Xiaowen put away the Blood Essence Stone, and put away the other "Samurai Token of the Matsuura Family" that Ye Mazi dropped, then got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to Hu Zongxian first, he has completed the c-level hero mission, and his reputation should be improved." Reached the level of reverence."

Hu Zongxian left in a huff at that time, mainly because he was a little reluctant to get off the stage. If he was angry, he was not very angry. He was resting in the main cabin of the flagship at the moment.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's request for an interview was quickly approved, and they were led in by the guards.

The face of the scholar changed quickly. After Hu Zongxian saw Bai Xiaowen and the two, his originally gloomy face suddenly beamed with joy, and he said with a smile: "You two are really my lucky generals. This time, you can kill the three bandits with one blow. Take the lead."

Prompt information on the rules of the spirit world:

"C-level hero branch task: The Battle of the Golden Gate has been submitted, task completion evaluation: 81% (good)."

"You have received a reward: 4000 merit points."

"Your reputation in the camp of the Anti-Japanese Ming Army has increased, and the current reputation level is: Revered."

"Main task: The decision has been completed. In the next 5 days, 19 hours, 22 minutes and 41 seconds, you and your teammates can leave the Jiajing plane world at any time, and the benefits you get, including but not limited to power points, equipment and props won't disappear."

"Your team has gained 750 experience points and can be promoted to a level 2 elite team. Do you want to be promoted?"

Bai Xiaowen chose yes. After completing the A-level elite mission "Looking for Medicine" before, he got a small amount of team experience, but only 300 points. From this point of view, the team brought by hero missions grew the fastest.

"Your elite team has been promoted to level 2."

"When the team members fight side by side, the critical strike rate increases by 7%."

"Squad Active Skill: The radius of the traction is increased to 120 meters, and the cooling time is reduced to 7 hours and 30 minutes."

The elite team has been upgraded to a level 2 team, the improvement is not very big, the crit rate has increased by an additional 2%, and the distance of the traction skill has been slightly strengthened. However, it is not bad to have such an improvement. This is an additional gain, and it is better than nothing.

The meritorious value of Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's current anti-Japanese Ming army camp has accumulated to 10952 points.

From meeting Hu Zongxian and sending a boatload of stolen goods as a gift,

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were constantly accumulating merit points in the anti-Japanese Ming army. They would earn merit points for the task of searching for medicine, killing evil spirits, black zombies, and killing Japanese pirates.

Counting the 4,000 point rewards given by the hero mission, the total points finally exceeded 10,000.

It has to be said that Hu Zongxian, who received Bai Xiaowen's "bribery", is still very generous, and he has not been stingy in the rewards he gave these days.

Bai Xiaowen also received a reminder at the same time that Hu Zongxian and Xu Wei's favorability for him has increased, and he is now at the level of friends.

"Mr. Du, I have a secret report, so I ask Mr. Du to step back." Bai Xiaowen said.

The favorability reached the friend level, so Hu Zongxian was naturally unprepared, and waved his two personal guards to wait outside the cabin and closed the cabin door.

"What secrets does Master Bai have?" Hu Zongxian asked curiously.

"Congratulations on Duke Du's great victory in Jinmen. I don't know the next step. Does Duke Du have any plans for the Japanese pirates occupying Dongpu?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

Hu Zongxian said with a smile: "Only mobilize the horses and train the soldiers, and wait until the day when the real Japanese invade. It will be worthy of the emperor's kindness."

Bai Xiaowen said: "Grand Du, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. Why don't you send a large army to the east to cross the Japanese country and destroy the source of the real Japanese?"

Hu Zongxian's face changed slightly, he shook his head and said, "No."

"Why?"

Hu Zongxian just shook his head, and after thinking about it, he said: "The reason is very complicated, and you are a little whimsical. First of all, the Taizu of this dynasty once decreed that the Japanese country should not be conquered. If you are local, that is disrespectful, and you will be impeached by the officials."

After a pause, Hu Zongxian said again: "Besides, the situation of the Japanese enemy is unknown, and our army has just fought a war. We need to reorganize the prisoners, and we can't rush forward. The law of war, knowing yourself and the enemy, can win a hundred battles..."

How could Bai Xiaowen have the time to listen to Hu Zongxian talking about the law of war, so he caught Hu Zongxian's words with great difficulty and said: "The governor doesn't know something, I have already got the clue of the real Japanese who stabbed General Yu that day. That real Japanese is named Matsuura Xinkuro, It has something to do with the bandit leader Ye Mazi..."

Bai Xiaowen showed [Matsuura Xinkuro's reply letter].

After reading the letter, Hu Zongxian frowned and said, "The situation of the Japanese pirates is so complicated, and there are real Japanese hidden among the fake Japanese. It's incredible. However, no matter the fake Japanese or the real Japanese, they are all Japanese pirates. I will wipe them all out."

Bai Xiaowen said: "According to the letter, Matsuura Shinkuro is one of the leaders of the Matsuura family. And the power of the Matsuura family is in the three islands of Iki, Hirado, and Tsushima. These three islands are the source of Japanese pirates. Back then The Wang Zhi proclaimed himself king in the country of Wa, and he is entrenched here. Dugong, since the enemy's situation is unknown, I will invite a boat to go to the three islands of the country of Wa to find out the information."

Hu Zongxian shook his head: "No, I only have the responsibility of guarding the land, and it is too taboo to send troops to the outside world. Even if I send a scout ship, I don't know what hat will be put on it by the gang of Qingliu at Yushitai! Daoist Bai Xiaoren, don't worry. At this time, I will report to His Majesty, please grant the imperial decree to conquer the Japanese kingdom, and it will only take half a month to come and go."

Bai Xiaowen couldn't see that this was Hu Zongxian's excuse, but Hu Zongxian's attitude was firm, so he didn't persuade him any more, and turned around to resign.

"This Hu Zongxian is too timid. He is much worse than Prince Nicholas in the previous world. He is so uncomfortable with his hands and feet tied up." Li Shuyi whispered.

"One is a minister, and the other is a prince. Of course it's different," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Hu Zongxian, of course, has the ambition to protect the country and the people, and to go down in history, but he is also very selfish. Take the matter of killing Wang Zhi back then. Let’s say, a group of officials who don’t know the inside story, or know the inside story but have ulterior motives, wanted to kill Wang Zhi. At first, Hu Zongxian argued hard, wanting to save Wang Zhi’s life to appease the southeast Japanese pirates. But later, some people said that he was protecting The pirates were bribed by Wang Zhi. In order to protect himself, Hu Zongxian was forced to agree to execute Wang Zhi."

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "Hu Zongxian's killing of Xu Hai was also an act of selfishness and self-protection. He didn't trust Xu Hai and was afraid that he would surrender and rebel, so he simply killed him with one knife. As for the other small groups of Japanese pirates, Hu Zongxian We are determined to destroy it by force."

Li Shuyi was still a little bit dissatisfied with Hu Zongxian's dishonesty: "He is not afraid of retribution for doing this."

Bai Xiaowen shrugged: "Probably... Hu Zongxian's historical ending is indeed bleak, and I don't know if it is because of retribution."

Bai Xiaowen spoke briefly to Li Shuyi. Hu Zongxian has always had friendship with Zhao Wenhua, the adopted son of the treacherous minister Yan Song. After Yan Song fell from power, Hu Zongxian was also implicated and demoted to the people.

Emperor Jiajing thought that Hu Zongxian had made great contributions to the fight against the Japanese, and he didn't want to pursue it further, but later found Hu Zongxian's secret letter in Zhao Wenhua's house, and there was also a privately drafted imperial edict. He committed suicide after leaving behind the quatrain that "the sword is buried in the unjust prison, and the loyal soul surrounds the white cloud".

Did Hu Zongxian draft an imperial decree privately, or was he framed? Bai Xiaowen felt that most of them were framed.

But it doesn't make sense to say that. Although Hu Zongxian has made great achievements in suppressing the Japanese, but because of his collusion with the treacherous minister Yan Song and his bad deeds of betrayal and murder, his posthumous reputation is not good. Although he is essentially a national hero, his reputation is not as good as Yu Dayou, and even far less than Qi Jiguang .

"Then what should we do now? Hu Zongxian refuses to send troops, we can't go out to sea, even if we have clues to the task of 'seeking the sword', there is still no way to do this task." Li Shuyi said.

Bai Xiaowen nodded: "From Hu Zongxian's words just now, it can be heard that the Anti-Japanese Ming Army camp will not make any big moves in the future. We have saved more than five days, and we can't find any good tasks if we stay here. At best, you can only dig up some small tasks of running errands."

"Then what should we do? Xiaowen, you must have a solution, right?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled: "I have an idea... What do you think it is?"

In Bai Xiaowen's hand, a spell suddenly appeared.

[Phantom Talisman (Hu Zongxian): Stores the image of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhizhe in the Jiajing plane world. Using it again can create a realistic phantom of Hu Zongxian. The phantom is controlled by the user (Bai Xiaowen), and can perform simple actions such as walking, sitting and lying, without attack power. Lasts for 22 minutes and disappears after application. 】

"This... Isn't this the charm that fell from the White Ghost Empress? Could it be that you want to..." Li Shuyi's face was flushed, and she was a little excited.

"Well, Lao Hu is so unprofessional, so I will cheat him... But before that, let's go to the quartermaster and exchange all the accumulated merit points."

Bai Xiaowen smiled and put away the illusion spell.

The quartermaster of the Anti-Japanese Ming Army was an old acquaintance, his master Xu Wei.

Xu Wei was drinking some wine and reading ancient books in an empty cabin when Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi knocked on the door and entered.

"Two..."

Bai Xiaowen clicked on the quartermaster's exchange list, and Xu Dacai immediately froze in place and entered the state of the vending machine.

After browsing briefly, Bai Xiaowen smiled.

The camp of the Anti-Japanese Ming Army really deserves to be a unified power. There are quite a lot of exchangeable items, and there are several very good special products.

[Murder Talisman: A+ grade prop, after the awakener uses it, the critical strike rate will increase by an additional 35%, lasting for 120 seconds. This enhanced spell does not stack with the effects of other critical strike buffs. 2500 merit points/sheet. 】

This A-level prop is very good, and the extra 35% critical strike rate is amazing, which greatly improves the output, and the duration of 120 seconds is also quite impressive. It's just that the restriction of "not stacking with other critical buff effects" makes it unsuitable for Li Shuyi.

Li Shuyi herself has a 20% crit rate of "Wind and Thunder Combo", and a 7% crit gain of the team skill "Cruel" lv2, and the extra crit rate gain is as high as 27%. Even if the murderous amulet is used, it will not add 35% to the 27% extra crit, it will only cover the original crit rate, and the final crit rate is still 35%.

[March Strange Strategy: S-level props, increase the movement speed of all friendly troops within a radius of one kilometer by 40%, and halve the physical consumption. Duration 60 minutes. 6000 merit points/part. 】

Note: This is Xu Wei, one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, after reading the "Six Editions" of "Wu".

[Recruitment order: S-level props, used on a neutral creature in a non-combat state, it can be recruited. Use the item again to summon the creature to fight for you for 120 minutes. The level of the target creature must not exceed your level, and the ratio of the strength of the target creature to your strength will determine the success rate of the summoning order. 5500 merit points/part. 】

Behind the "Recruitment Order", there is a special reminder that neutral creatures with prominent status (influence) are immune to the influence of the "Recruitment Order".

This is also very understandable. He is already doing well, so how could he be recruited by you for no reason?

These are all good props. In addition, in the equipment column, the blue equipment [Ring Armor] with the characteristics of the Ming army, although it does not have additional attributes, but it has an additional 15% parry chance, which is not inferior to tank-type awakened ones. Because of the existence of gold equipment.

It's a pity that it is bound when picked up, otherwise it will be very popular if you exchange a few pieces back.
