Chapter 1003 The New Official Takes Office, Three Thousand Tiger Wing Army (Second Update)
Inside Tongguan City, Ma Qianli and the others looked at each other, and then all looked at Ge Changlong.
Ma Qianli really wanted to ask, have you been held hostage, Lord City Lord?
If yes, you just blink.
Unfortunately, Ge Changlong was not held hostage.
He looked at Ma Qianli and the others with a serious expression.
"Why, you didn't listen to what I said?"
Ge Changlong snorted coldly.
"No, it's just this—"
Ma Qianli hesitated.
This just solved Ge Zhenfeng, isn't it the time for the city lord to show his might?
Why did he suddenly give up the position of city lord to deputy city lord Wu?
Although Deputy City Lord Wu was really good, even Hou Baidong was trapped by him.
But the deputy city lord is the deputy city lord after all...
"Nothing just!"
Ge Changlong said coldly, "I will give you a chance to choose now. If you still recognize me as the city lord, then obey my order. If you don't recognize me, then you can leave Tongguan City now, as long as you don't reveal the truth about Tongguan." The secret of the city, I can also let you leave alive!"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
They can be regarded as Ge Changlong's direct descendants. Since Ge Changlong took over as the city lord of Tongguan City, they have been following Ge Changlong.
Of course they would listen to Ge Changlong's words. Thinking about how they even killed the sixth elder of the Ge family, it would have been impossible for them to do this without Ge Changlong's diehard loyalty.
But the person they were following was Ge Changlong, and now Ge Changlong suddenly asked them to serve another person, even if that person was the deputy city lord of Tongguan City, that would not work.
"The city lord—"
Ma Qianli still wanted to speak.
"From now on, there will only be one City Lord of Tongguan City, and that is my second brother Wu Zongquan. You can call me Deputy City Lord!"
Ge Changlong said coldly.
Ge Changlong's words were decisive and resounding.
Ma Qianli and the others immediately swallowed the words that came to their lips.
Ge Changlong has already said this to this extent, what else can they say?
They turned their heads to look at Zhou Shu who had been holding his hands in silence.
After a long time, all the people cupped their hands and said, "The last general pays homage to the city lord!"
Zhou Shu's expression was flat, and he nodded slightly.
From his expression, we can't see the change of his mood. For others, the change in one step is not worth mentioning to him.
"Generals, I will ask for your help in the future."
Zhou Shu spoke slowly.
Of course he could tell that Ma Qianli and the others didn't trust him very much.
This is also normal, after all, the person they were originally loyal to was Ge Changlong, and they were suddenly asked to pledge their allegiance to another person, normal people, and they couldn't accept it immediately.
But Zhou Shu didn't care.
It doesn't matter whether they sincerely recognize themselves as the city lord.
As long as they can maintain the apparent respect.
What Zhou Shu wanted in his heart was their cooperation on the surface.
As long as there is enough time, Zhou Shu will naturally be able to truly master this Tongguan City.
"The city lord is polite, this is my duty."
Ma Qianli and the others said hastily.
Ge Changlong laughed, patted Zhou Shu on the shoulder, and said, "Second brother, people like Ma Qianli are rough and straightforward, but they are good brothers, you can trust them."
"If any of them dare not treat you as the city lord, I will never spare them!"
Ge Changlong glanced at Ma Qianli and the others threateningly.
Ma Qianli and the others were a little helpless, they didn't know what Ge Changlong was trying to sell.
But in the current situation, they have no other choice but to obey Ge Changlong's order.
"Listen to me, all of you. From now on, there will only be one city lord of Tongguan City. If anyone makes a mistake again, don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"
Ge Changlong shouted.
"Brother, General Ma and the others just couldn't turn the corner for a while, it's not disrespect to you and me."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Actually, you and my brother, it doesn't matter whoever is the city lord..."
"Hey! Second brother, your talents and skills are a hundred times better than mine!"
Ge Changlong said, "It is the best choice for you to be the city lord of Tongguan City. You will definitely bring Tongguan City to glory."
Ma Qianli and the others were at a loss when they heard these things.
An unnatural embarrassment also flashed across Zhou Shu's face, Ge Changlong's embarrassment really made people feel a little helpless.
He changed the subject and said, "Since you believe me, brother, then I will give it a try!"
"I'm the lord of Tongguan City!"
"Gentlemen! Tongguan City is now facing a plague of spirit insects. The spirit insects outside the city are like a sword hanging above our heads, which may fall at any time."
Zhou Shu said sternly, "So, although Ge Zhenfeng's matter has been temporarily resolved, we are not yet at the point where we can rest easy."
"Only by completely eradicating the plague of spirit insects can we relax."
"City Master, do you have a good plan to deal with this spirit insect?"
General Chen said loudly.
All the generals looked at Zhou Shu, their eyes full of consideration.
Although they had to accept the fact that Zhou Shu became the lord of Tongguan City under Ge Changlong's order, it didn't mean that they would immediately believe in Zhou Shu.
In the past, Wu Zongquan was just an inconspicuous squad leader in Tongguan City. Later, he showed his skill in casting soldiers and was promoted by Ge Changlong to be the deputy city lord.
That's all, after all, he is only the deputy city lord, and he can indeed forge some magic weapons for Tongguan city.
But the city lord and deputy city lord are completely different.
Just being able to forge divine weapons doesn't necessarily make him a good city lord.
They also want to see Zhou Shu's ability, so as to determine whether Zhou Shu is a city lord worthy of their assistance!
Zhou Shu smiled slightly, and said, "You should have seen all the tiger-wing knives I forged before, and you already have some of them."
"Let's put it this way, the Tiger Wing Knife is extremely lethal to spirit insects. If the army of Tongguan City had a Tiger Wing Knife in their hands, it would be ten times as many spirit insects as we are. "
"I am sure that within three years, all the soldiers in Tongguan City will have at least one Tiger Wing Saber!"
"Everyone has a tiger wing knife?"
Surprise flashed across the faces of Ma Qianli and the others.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Tongguan City, and each of them has a tiger-winged knife, so hundreds of thousands of tiger-winged swords are needed.
There are only three soldiers in Tongguan City now.
Three army casting divisions cast hundreds of thousands of tiger wing knives within three years, isn't this a joke?
Even if Ma Qianli and the others knew that Zhou Shu had created a miracle, they still felt that he was bragging now.
Zhou Shu did not explain, but continued, "You may not believe it now, but it doesn't matter, we will wait and see."
"Now, I will select 3,000 soldiers from all the soldiers in Tongguan City to form a team!"
"I will create tailor-made magic soldiers for these 3,000 people, and train them into an invincible army!"
"They are the ultimate force to protect my Tongguan City. I hope that these three thousand people will be able to achieve the realm of Heavenly Venerable one day!"
As soon as Zhou Shu said this, all the generals, including Ma Qianli, had a flash of disdain in their eyes.
Sure enough, Deputy City Lord Wu is only suitable for casting soldiers.
He doesn't understand the military at all.
Three Thousand Heavens Exalted Realm, does he know what that concept is?
Not to mention the small Tongguan City, it is still uncertain whether the Ge family, one of the largest families in the world, can make up 3,000 Heavenly Exalted Realms, and in all likelihood, it will not be possible.
How can Tongguan City, such as theirs, have the Three Thousand Heavenly Exalted Realm?
If Tongguan City can really cultivate an army composed of three thousand heavenly venerables, then they will definitely be an invincible army.
Is that possible?
All the Tianzun powerhouses in Tongguan City can be counted on the palm of one hand.
Zhou Shu could see the disbelief on their faces clearly.
But he didn't bother to explain, "I will choose these 3,000 people myself."
"The generals just need to cooperate."
Ma Qianli and the others were still talking, but Ge Changlong's gaze had already shot over coldly.
They immediately swallowed back the words on their lips.
Three thousand people is three thousand people, the new city lord has three fires, let him burn one.
Anyway, just give him 3,000 people, let's see what tricks he can come up with!
"I will definitely cooperate fully."
Under Ge Changlong's sharp gaze, Ma Qianli and the others spoke.
Zhou Shu winked at Zhan, Zhan understood.
It is unrealistic to expect the army of Tongguan City to return immediately.
Pick out 3,000 people, gradually assimilate their hearts, turn them into your own people, point to face, and finally the entire Tongguan City cannot escape.
This method was used many times before the war in the ancient heavenly court.
...
"Why me? I don't want to go!"
A man dressed as a soldier shook his head again and again, looking at Zhan with some reluctance, "I'm fine in my current position, I don't want to go to the place you said."
"This is the order of the city lord to select three thousand elites to form the Great Wall of Steel to protect our Tongguan City. How dare you disobey this order?"
Zhan said coldly.
"Of course I don't dare to disobey the order of the Lord City Master, but I was injured during the previous battle, and I haven't recovered yet, and I'm not an elite at all."
The soldier shook his head resolutely.
How did he know what he was chosen to do?
He didn't know anything about the new city lord, only that he was once a small captain in the army of Tongguan City, and he didn't know how to become the deputy city lord.
Now he has reached the sky in one step and became the city lord.
He didn't know how all this happened.
Zhou Shu is proficient in the art of casting soldiers, and may be the direct disciple of the master of the Tiangong Pavilion. This matter is only known to the upper echelons of Tongguan City, and these low-level soldiers have no understanding of it at all.
They only knew that if they agreed to fight, they would be betraying their former colleagues.
And they don't know what the new city lord is going to do when he elects them.
Three thousand elites, probably not three thousand cannon fodder.
How could these old fritters in the army give in so easily!
Even under the orders of Ma Qianli and others, these soldiers still push back and resist.
This is the 32nd time I have been rejected.
"very good!"
Zhan Leng snorted, "Listen, the city lord selects 3,000 elites for the purpose of forming the strongest army in the world. As long as you are selected, the city lord will personally tailor magic soldiers for you, and you will become the most well-equipped army in Tongguan City. army!"
"This general, I know that the city lord is an army builder, but we have a total of three thousand people here, and the city lord is just one person. He personally forged magic soldiers for us. When will we get them?" The soldier spoke.
He has seen too many cakes painted by big figures, and if he doesn't get the benefits, it is not a benefit at all.
Thinking about the Tiger Wing Knife issued by the previous city lord, he didn't have his share.
Tell him now that the new city lord is willing to tailor a divine weapon for him, how could he believe it.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Since you don't want to, the general won't force you."
Zhan Leng snorted, Tongguan City has hundreds of thousands of troops, although it is not easy to choose 3000 people, but this person is not necessary.
Zhan's eyes fell on another soldier.
"You have heard what I just said. Let me ask you, would you like to join?"
Zhan said in a deep voice.
The soldier's expression was a little dull, and he didn't react for a while.
"You—are you asking me?"
The man stammered.
"Yes, I'm just asking you!"
Zhan said.
"But I'm not an elite."
The soldier said weakly.
What kind of elite is he? He is almost the weakest existence in the army in Tongguan City, not even in the Taoist realm.
"Whether it is elite or not, you can decide for yourself."
Zhan's eyes swept across the faces of other soldiers, and many soldiers showed disdain on their faces.
Zhan naturally knew that the soldier he chose was not outstanding among the army in Tongguan City, or even mediocre.
But he judged whether a soldier was an elite, not simply by his cultivation.
Even if the opponent's cultivation base is not high, could it be that in his hands, he can't improve the opponent's cultivation base?
What he wants to choose is the kind of person who can truly submit to them, not the elite that everyone understands.
As for lack of cultivation, then practice.
If you can't make it through cultivation, then use magic weapons to arm them to the teeth.
In short, with Zhou Shu's support, Zhan has countless ways to make the 3,000 people he selected quickly become a powerful army.
The soldiers in Tongguan City watched their comrades being picked out one by one, many of them breathed a sigh of relief, and some even held back a smirk.
This is the selected elite?
This is clearly the most hip-pushing existence in the chosen army.
The new city lord knows that he is not good at leading troops. So come up with such a trick?
He selected the most hippest soldiers in the army, so that even if he couldn't train an elite team, no one else would be able to say anything.
As for being relieved, it was because they didn't know what Zhou Shu was going to do.
Instead of facing an unknown future, they want to stay where they are.
On the contrary, those who were selected were all downcast, as if they didn't know what they could do.
Zhan's eyes swept over the selected soldiers.
"From now on, I will be your instructor."
Zhan Shen shouted, "Raise your heads! From now on, you are the Tiger Wing Army under the command of the city lord!"
"Your duty is to make Tongguan City even more powerful!"
"I know that you are not confident, and I also know that many people are watching your jokes. If the selected elites have no combat power at all, wouldn't they laugh at others' big teeth?"
With sharp eyes, Zhan shouted coldly, "I want to tell you, you are the elite!"
"Anyone can look down on you, but you can't look down on yourself!"
In the army behind these 3,000 people, countless people sneered. Are these people considered elite?
In the distance, Zhou Shu, Ge Changlong, Ma Qianli and others were all standing on the top of the city wall, watching this scene happen.
Ge Changlong's face was very ugly. These soldiers, who were obedient and obedient, didn't take their own words to heart at all. They made Zhou Shu ugly, so they slapped themselves in the face!
I said it myself, and gave up the position of city lord to my second brother!
As a result, these people were so perfunctory to the second brother's orders!
"Ma Qianli, is this your subordinate? Very good!"
Ge Changlong gritted his teeth.
Ma Qianli and the others had wry smiles on their faces. They had already ordered to cooperate, but the soldiers below couldn't trust the new city lord. Could it be their fault?
People don't want to be selected into the Tiger Wing Army, we can't force them to agree. ,
Can a cow press its head forcibly without drinking water?
"I will be convicted at the end!"
Ma Qianli and the others knew that it was useless to defend, so they simply admitted their mistakes.
Although they don't think there is anything wrong with them.
What kind of Tiger Wing Army Wu Zongquan wants to form is simply a whimsical idea. Tongguan City's military system is already very complete. If you insist on setting up a Tiger Wing Army without doing anything extra, wouldn't that be slapping yourself in the face?
He is just an army builder, and he is not good at commanding an army at all.
"Brother, don't blame them."
Zhou Shu stopped Ge Changlong with a smile, and said, "Brother, you know who I am, but the people below don't."
"Brother, you were able to gain their trust back then, and it was because of you that you fought countless times before in exchange for it. After I became the city lord, I haven't done anything. It's normal for them not to trust me."
The smile on Zhou Shu's face was very gentle, and he continued, "I always have to do something to make people trust me."
"Tiger Wing Army, consider it a gift from me to Tongguan City."
"Brother, don't worry, it won't take long for the Tiger Wing Army to impress everyone."
"I trust you!"
Ge Changlong gave Ma Qianli and the others a hard look, then looked at Zhou Shu, and said with a smile, "How about, second brother, how about I come to be the commander of the Tiger Wing Army?"
Ge Changlong gave up the position of city lord to Zhou Shu. Naturally, he couldn't look at Zhou Shu ashamed. He wanted to support Zhou Shu.
"No, brother, before you were promoted, you were the deputy city lord of Tongguan City. You still have arduous tasks to undertake."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "I already have a plan for the training of the Tiger Wing Army, brother, just wait and see the result."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Shu gestured to Zhan under the city, and then Zhan took the three thousand selected soldiers and strode towards the original direction of the backyard of the Wu Mansion.
There, Jin Kui is still casting tiger wing knives with the assembly line casting method.
There, Jin Kui, the third deputy head of the Tiangong Pavilion, was also studying the Tiger Wing Saber like a conscientious laborer.
There is also the place where Zhou Shu used to cast soldiers.
