Chapter 22: Heavenly Dao Kung Fu, the Great Wall of Flesh
After hearing Zhao Lang's words, Qin Zheng looked at the lifeless officers and soldiers and couldn't help but nodded.
These people really have no energy at all. Compared with the ghost beast clan they fought before, they are very different.
But this General Zuo still has some talent.
Based on the information Zhao Lang gave him before, he could guess that General Zuo asked these officers and soldiers to cover for them and clean up the so-called concealed equipment, just by the way.
Otherwise, if they go alone to explore the so-called ghost beast village, they will never return.
But what General Zuo doesn't know is that all this is also the plan of the Ghost Beast Clan.
And he had some doubts about whether these officers and soldiers could do their job of covering them.
The risk of this action was too great, and he couldn't help but have some thoughts of retreat.
It's really not worth it for such a big effort.
Moreover, A Lang is right. Instead of working for such a powerful person, it is better to find an opportunity to return to Qin Province.
Just when Qin Zheng was making calculations in his mind,
General Zuo had already issued the order and then asked the others to leave, leaving only these children of the aristocratic family.
At this time, the leaders of the children of various aristocratic families also realized something.
Li Shimin, the most powerful among them, said with a smile,
"General Zuo, do you have something to tell me?"
General Zuo did not hesitate, nodded, and said straightforwardly,
"Yes, there is indeed another task for you this time,"
"You also know that Wang Jianjun escaped after encountering the ghost beast tribe. At the same time, he also brought some urgent military information."
"It seems that the Ghost Beast Clan will make big moves in the near future. This general has already reported it to the court, but he found a settlement of the Ghost Beast Clan in a place. This should be a special secret sentinel."
"It's out of the border, so I want you to go take a look."
"The number of people doesn't need to be too large, just form a team of a thousand people."
This time, the operation needs to be more concealed. If the number of the centurion is too small, it will be easily eliminated. If there are more than 10,000 people, it will be a formal battle. A thousand-man team is just suitable.
Moreover, the strength of the thousands-man team formed by the children of these aristocratic families is comparable to the ordinary team of ten thousand people, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.
Hearing this, Li Shimin did not agree directly, but turned to look at the others,
Everyone was a little hesitant at this time. After all, they all saw the scene just now, and they inevitably had some thoughts in their hearts.
Seeing this scene, General Zuo's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly showed a smile and said,
"After this time, I will definitely report to the imperial court and ask for credit for you. Your family will also be honored."
"Furthermore, this general also heard that you have not chosen your general yet, so why not use this military merit to judge."
"Of course, you are all the geniuses of various families. If you don't want to go, I will never stop you, lest the news comes back that I am forcing others to do something difficult."
This time, everyone's expressions could not help but change slightly.
The other party seemed to be trying to encourage them, but the meaning behind it was also obvious.
Most of their family members are now in the capital!
Once it is known that they are unwilling to fight, there may be some bad consequences.
As for the other party's last words, they were purely for the occasion.
Everyone looked at each other, and Li Shimin showed a smile and said,
"What the general said is that I will get back to you as soon as possible on this matter."
"Just a little preparation."
General Zuo couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He didn't expect that the other party still didn't directly agree.
Sure enough, these people cannot be counted as officers and soldiers of Da Gan, but if you want to delay it like this, you are underestimating him.
So he said calmly,
"This is a military order. If you want to discuss it, it's okay. You can discuss it here."
"General, I have something else to do: please leave first."
After saying that, he left here directly without giving others a chance to refuse.
As a border general, he still has the ability to restrict these people.
Looking at General Zuo's leaving figure, Li Shimin frowned slightly. He knew that the other party was serious this time.
So he turned to the others and asked,
"Everyone, our family still has to advance and retreat together in this matter. I don't know what you mean?"
"I think this matter is still an opportunity. I will wait until I come to the border and I will need some credit before I can go back."
They were summoned here by the imperial court, so naturally they would not let them go so easily. Even if they wanted to go back, they would need some convincing reasons and corresponding achievements.
Otherwise, the family would be easily restricted by the imperial court in the capital.
And for them, this is also a good opportunity to legally control their own military power.
After hearing the question, everyone else couldn't help but think slightly. Of course, they couldn't make such a simple decision. Behind each person was a family.
It was Zhu Yuanzhang who spoke first,
"We think there is nothing wrong with this matter. Going into battle to kill the enemy is for yourself and the people."
Although he came here for his own family, he was also willing to do something for the people.
He can naturally see the wolfish ambitions of the Ghost Beast Tribe. Now if we kill more Monster Tribes here, then the people will have fewer Ghost Beast Tribes to face.
Just when he finished speaking, Wu Meier on the side said aloud,
"There's no problem in going into battle to kill the enemy, but I can't trust these big-time officers and soldiers."
"Their cover will only put us in more danger. This time all the intelligence is not clear enough, and you must know clearly that this is an outbound killing of the enemy."
"If the Ghost Beast Clan catches us, will the imperial court come forward for us?"
Wu Meier calmly stated her analysis, and everyone was silent for a while.
They knew that the other party was right, and the risk of going abroad to fight was still relatively high.
Soon Liu Xiu on the side also said,
"I think this is why General Zuo chose to let me wait out."
"If anything unexpected happens, the court will probably say that we acted privately."
With two big families expressing concern, other small families no longer remained silent and spoke out about their decisions.
For a time, the voices for and against were almost the same.
Li Shimin couldn't help but frown at this time. He originally wanted to unify everyone's opinions and become the leader of all the children of the aristocratic family.
But I didn't expect that such a situation would occur.
Looking at the stalemate, Li Shimin accidentally saw Qin Zheng who had been silent on the side. His heart moved slightly and he deliberately asked loudly,
"Brother Qin, you always have a lot of ideas, I don't know what you think!"
Hearing Li Shimin's voice, everyone couldn't help but look at Qin Zheng.
Although the other party joined as Liu Xiu's subordinate, in the past few days, during the counterattack against the invasion of a small group of ghost beast clan troops,
It actually showed a good strategy.
And with the support of Liu Xiu and Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone agreed.
But they couldn't help but look at each other,
At this time, Qin Zheng was thinking about discussing with Zhao Lang whether he should accept the government's order or just find an excuse to go back. Anyway, he did not come here as an independent family.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded,
"The Heavenly Selection System has been activated!"
"Choose one, refuse the mission, look for opportunities to return, and be rewarded with a level of strength improvement!"
"Option 2, accept the mission, go to the border, and be rewarded with the Heavenly Dao level skill, the Great Wall of Flesh Technique!"
Seeing these two choices, Qin Zheng couldn't help being slightly stunned.
He can understand the first choice. Returning to his hometown and improving his strength is not difficult.
He is now at the peak of the second stage and can break through and enter the third stage at any time.
Based on his previous choices, it can be inferred that this system will only give some rewards based on the existing conditions.
Of course, this does not mean that the first reward is useless. You must know that for ordinary people, there are dangers every time you advance to a higher level.
Otherwise, the Qin family would not even have a practitioner above level 6!
Guaranteed to enter the 3rd stage realm is already a very good reward.
But the second reward was really hard for him to refuse. Although the Qin family's own Xuan Bing Jue was not bad, otherwise it would not be able to support the Qin family to become a powerful family.
But he had never even heard of this Heavenly Dao level technique.
And the name seems oppressive. The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood, I don’t know what kind of power it will be if it is cultivated to the highest depth!
It seems worth taking the risk,
"Brother Qin, Brother Qin, what do you think?"
Seeing that Qin Zheng didn't answer him, Li Shimin couldn't help but speak up and asked a few questions again.
Qin Zheng came to his senses at this time, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at all the leaders of the aristocratic families.
When he made sure everyone was looking at him, he smiled and said,
"Actually, I don't want to go."
Hearing this, Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help showing a look of disappointment on their faces.
Li Shimin was disappointed because he originally guessed that the other party would support it. After all, he could sense the other party's ambition after getting along with him these days.
So even though Qin Zheng was now nominally under Liu Xiu, he still chose to ask him.
Zhu Yuanzhang was disappointed because he originally thought that the other party was also a person who cared about the people.
A smile naturally appeared on Liu Xiu's face.
But before anyone could ask questions, Qin Zheng continued,
"Just everyone, do we really have a choice?"
"Please also take a look at the officers and soldiers around you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but feel a little shocked and looked around.
Only then did they realize that General Zuo's personal guards had already surrounded them, and they were all looking at them seriously.
They didn't think much about it at the time, they just thought these people were protecting them.
Thinking about it now, it turns out that General Zuo had already made arrangements.
Liu Xiu's expression turned slightly cold at this time, and he came down and said,
"These people are no match for us."
Although not all of the people from their family are here,
The strength here is not weak, not to mention the geniuses of several aristocratic families.
Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang are both masters at the 4th level. Even if the others are weaker, they are still at the 2nd or 3rd level.
There is no problem in taking down these so-called general guards.
But at this time, Wu Meier next to her said angrily,
"Do you want to kill members of your own family?"
Although each of them has a profound background, their respective families are still restricted by the Daqian government.
They disobeyed military orders and everyone just covered it up, but if they really dared to kill the officers and soldiers on the Daqian border, it would be no different from rebellion!
After figuring this out, everyone's faces suddenly looked a little ugly.
Liu Xiu even said harshly,
"When I go back, I will definitely play a book by him!"
Others have similar thoughts. When have you ever experienced such cowardice?
But now I can only endure it and make plans after leaving here.
Seeing this scene, Qin Zheng lowered his voice and continued,
"Actually, accepting this mission is not without benefits for us. You have already seen the current situation on the border."
"Even if we want to retreat, we still need a justifiable reason. As long as we make meritorious service and then go out to fight so as not to leave any excuses, we can go back."
"It's okay to go back even temporarily."
Hearing this, the others looked confused for a moment. Of course they knew what Qin Zheng meant.
As long as they can go back, even if it is temporary, but as long as they go back, they will have all kinds of means to stop coming here.
If we stay any longer, sooner or later there will be some changes on the border.
Soon, Liu Xiu said,
"What Brother Qin said makes sense."
The other party is still his, and as long as Qin Zheng can make the decision, the Liu family will also share more of the military merits.
Seeing Liu Xiu's change of attitude, Wu Meier on the side did not agree, but did not object. The other children of the aristocratic family knew that the matter was settled.
But some people still said with a bit of dissatisfaction,
"I feel a little uncomfortable just to work hard like this."
Naturally, they still had complaints. Qin Zheng said with a smile,
"I'm not feeling well either, so I might as well take this opportunity to get some more supplies. It's better than having nothing at all."
After hearing this, the others stopped talking.
With the decision made, Qin Zheng stepped forward and said to the officers and soldiers in the distance,
"Please also inform General Zuo that we have made a decision!"
The officers and soldiers of Daqian left quickly. Not long after, General Zuo came over with a smile and said,
"What's the resolution?"
Qin Zheng returned with a smile,
"I'll get ready right now and we can set off early tomorrow morning."
"It's just that we don't carry much supplies, and we still need the general to distribute some more spiritual stones and so on."
Hearing this, General Zuo glanced at Qin Zheng in surprise.
He didn't expect that it would be the other party who made such a decision in the end, but he didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, as long as these people went, it would be fine.
As for the spiritual stone materials, giving them to these people can be considered a good use, so I returned,
"According to what you said, we will set off early tomorrow morning, and the supplies will be allocated to you overnight!"
"General, I won't keep you any longer."
The children of each aristocratic family left here directly after packing their luggage, and they all had to make preparations individually.
Qin Zheng also quickly returned to his tent before returning.
Zhao Lang couldn't help but ask,
"Why are you so determined to go to the front?"
He originally thought that the other party would discuss it with him, but the other party made a decision directly.
When I heard the question, please be correct. I didn’t answer immediately, but closed my eyes.
He was going to receive the reward from the system, a Tiandao-level exercise, which was really important!
But soon, Qin Zheng opened his eyes in disbelief and said,
"Why is this technique so weak?"
