Chapter 356 Fishbone
Baijiang is rich in fishery products, and there are too many varieties of fish.
Shen Hao was lucky today, and what he caught was "Qingbo", a fish species with delicious meat, which is suitable for braised in soy sauce or stewed in soup.
The boat was obviously rented from a fisherman, and there were simple carbon stoves and cooking utensils on board.
The freshest river seafood does not require complicated and delicate cooking techniques. Take Baijiang water, boil it, then cut the cleaned fish into pieces and put it in the pot, just a little salt.
The original Qingbo soup, anyway, Shen Hao added two bowls and was quite satisfied.
Wu Kai also ate, with a bold smile on his face again, his speech and behavior were completely different from before, he seemed to be a bold soldier, he couldn't see the slightest calculation, and his eyes were not as playful as before look.
"I didn't expect Lord Shen to be so skilled at cooking!"
"What kind of cooking is this? I just stewed a pot of fish soup, you can do it if you come."
Shen Hao has filled the third bowl. The main reason is that the bowls on this boat are relatively small. Wu Kai next to him ate more slowly, and it was only his second bowl. It looks like a big pot, but it doesn't really stand up to eating.
"Xuan Qingwei's rule is to ask less, do what you are told to do, do what you are supposed to do, and don't be too fussy." He chewed a piece of fish, used his mouth to sort out the fishbone and spit it out, while chatting with Wu Kai about the business.
"Rules, I understand. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't do what you shouldn't do. This is actually the same as in the army." Wu Kai doesn't spit out fish bones when he eats fish, except for those big spines, he chews them to pieces swallow.
"At present, your task is to find out what procedures were used by the three new faces who entered and exited the military teleportation circle in Tanshi in early December, and who helped them with these procedures. Yes, It's the group of two that Gan Lin showed you the portrait before."
Wu Kai held the bowl, took a sip of the soup, and said with a smack of his mouth: "Tanshi's teleportation circle is under the control of the army's supply battalion over there, and it rarely overlaps with the frontier army's combat formations in non-wartime. I don't know the people over there. But I'll try to find out. And then?"
"After you finish what I just said, I will give you the next task. Don't worry. In addition, this task has a deadline of half a month."
Wu Kai shook his head with a smile and didn't speak any more.
After Shen Hao finished the fifth bowl of fish, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, and then continued: "In addition, I also want to remind you that once you start to do the task, all actions must be kept strictly confidential, except that I, the upline, can communicate with you Other than that, you can't disclose any information about the mission to anyone else. Once you are exposed, we Xuan Qingwei will not admit that we have any relationship with you."
"I see."
In the end, after the two of them finished eating, no one washed the dishes, so they just sat and chatted for a few words before propping the boat back to the shore. When parting, Shen Hao took out a thousand-mile note and handed it to Wu Kai for contact. In addition, there are two bank notes with a denomination of 10,000, which can be regarded as the advance payment.
Now that the Black Flag Camp has been cultivated on a trial basis, Shen Hao finally has a little more money in things like the thousand-mile notes, and he no longer always "borrows" from Feilong.
Wu Kai put away the notes of thousands of miles, cupped his hands towards Shen Hao, and then punted away. As for Shen Hao, he found the horse he had tied to the tree before, flipped over and galloped back.
Shen Hao's leaving figure gradually disappeared, and Wu Kai, who was standing on the boat overlooking from afar, had a stern look on his face. He is not a person who likes to laugh, but his face is not friendly. If he doesn't smile, he will always give people a sense of distance, and he will be subconsciously guarded against. This is not conducive to Wu Kai's communication with others, so he always It is to force yourself to laugh. After a long time, most people can't tell whether his smile is real or fake.
"An indifferent person."
Wu Kai muttered this in a low voice when he saw Shen Hao's back galloping his horse and disappearing completely. In his opinion, Master Shen who was smiling like him was actually colder than him. Smile even more fake.
If it wasn't for the urgent need for pills and money, Wu Kai would not have taken the risk of going through this muddy water, even if Jiang Cheng was a lobbyist.
The punting went all the way down the river. About half an hour later, Wu Kai arrived at a small pier, returned the boat to a local fisherman, and then led back his horse and galloped away.
Wu Kai waited for a day before entering Yucheng, and then returned to Haixia with the teleportation array.
There are no less than 100,000 troops stationed in Haixia all year round, of which more than 70,000 need to be rotated periodically with soldiers from Tanshi and Kunhuo Pass.
According to the layout of the Jingjiu Dynasty in the south, the Kondo Pass is the first line of defense. Although there is a flat plain behind the Kondo Pass, a military bunker has been artificially set up, and the second line spanning hundreds of miles is formed by using dense fortifications at an angle. Second line of defense.
Haixia is the last line of defense, relatively looser, and there are holidays. It is precisely because of this that Wu Kai can go out for a day or two in his free time.
But there are no holidays at Tanshi and Kunduo Pass. You can't leave the camp even if you're on vacation.
A vanguard battalion and a mixed battalion are all the troops in Wu Kai's hands. These two thousand people are not even full for a partial general. If he is full, he should be able to lead another thousand auxiliary soldiers, instead of having all logistics handled by the guard's supply battalion like now.
Moreover, there are not many partial generals like him who are not fully staffed. It can also be seen that Wu Kai's situation is not good.
After arriving in Haixia, Wu Kai returned to his main account and his aides dealt with some daily affairs, then turned around and went to the supply camp.
When Wu Kai came out again, the two bank notes he got from Shen Hao yesterday were in other people's hands, and there were a few more Small Peiyuan Pills in his arms.
Pills are also in short supply in the army. According to Wu Kai's position, he can only be allocated one small Peiyuan pill every month, which is not enough for him who is in urgent need of sprinting at this stage. It can only be purchased privately from the chief officer of the supply camp, which is more than 10% cheaper than the auction outside.
This kind of embezzlement of military funds had happened when Wu Kaicai came to Haixia. Now if you want to get extra cultivation resources, you can exchange them with silver, there are as many as you can get!
For more than a year, Wu Kai has thrown all his family property into it. For the possibility of that line of breakthrough.
He hurriedly returned to his tent, and immediately began to practice until the newly obtained elixir was exhausted.
"Still close!"
Not to mention disappointment, more helpless. The level of talent may not be conscious at ordinary times, but when you are about to face a breakthrough, it can make you helpless.
Many people choose to give up in this situation, because the longer you go, the more you feel that you are wasting time and resources. Why are you putting so much effort into it? Is it so difficult to accept fate?
Wu Kai didn't want to accept his fate. Right now, he is stuck in the sixth level of the God-gathering realm, as long as he can further enter the seventh level, he will be eligible to compete for the general vacancies who are about to retire.
But now the bottleneck that can be seen and touched but cannot be broken is stuck in his throat, making it impossible for him to get through.
Now the two Great Peiyuan Pills promised by Shen Hao became Wu Kai's only hope.
