881, Wuwei Army (3rd Update)
Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu stayed in the villa of the noble Mr. Li for three days. It was not until the third day that the noble man came to visit again to inquire about his welfare. But Lu Shu already had a new idea and decided to join the Qing Sai Army. .
According to Zhang Weiyu, it is entirely possible for sixth-grade monks to want to join the army, but they must not say that they are civilians, because once they say that they are civilians, their household registration will be checked, and it is best not to join the Qingsai Army. Because among the eleven armies under the Southern Emperor, the Qingsai Army had the greatest pressure on the selection of places for Jianlu, and there were many elites there.
Lu Shu asked: "How should we solve the household registration problem? Which army should we choose?"
Zhang Weiyu thought for a while and said: "There are two ways for a slave to escape from slavery. One is to actively rebel and endure great pain to remove the mark. The other is to die of the slave owner. The slave's skills will be reduced, but the benefits are It eliminates the need to endure pain and releases the mark. Normally, the slave owner’s direct relatives will automatically inherit the mark, but if he has no descendants, he will not inherit it.”
"Some slaves regained their freedom after the death of their slave owners. At this time, they have a certain strength and do not want to be slaves again. We usually call them wanderers. When you go to join the army, you can say that you were once a farm worker. The slaves of the slave-owner Liu family of the town. There were originally four slave-owners in this town. However, when the Black Feather Army attacked ten years ago, his family all died in the battle, so many slaves regained their freedom and left," Zhang Weiyu said to Lu Shu pointed out a clear path, which was a kind of reward for Lu Shu's kindness.
"Then which army should I choose?" Lu Shu asked.
"Choose the Wuwei Army. They are currently stationed outside Yun'an City, north of Nangeng City. This army is not the main force of the border fortress, so its security is better than that of the Qing Fortress Army," Zhang Weiyu said, "If the Black Feather Army comes, If so, they also went to the battlefield after the Qing Dynasty."
"Oh," Lu Shu understood. It meant the second echelon. Of course it would be good if there was no need to fight.
"The Armed Guards like to recruit wandering children. At first they thought that these capable slaves would become the mainstay of the army, but they didn't know that most of these wandering children had some bad habits, making the whole army a bit messy. "Gambling in the military camp is not impossible," Zhang Weiyu said with a smile: "Later, after the military discovered this problem, many important positions were taken over by street children. They even squeezed out civilians. Later, these street children also became smart. They do everything from bribery to deprivation of military pay. The commander of the armed guards turned a blind eye when he became the biggest beneficiary. Now even the commander has been replaced by a street boy, and the entire army is almost useless. "
Lu Shu was stunned for a moment: "Doesn't it matter whether the Emperor Wen is around?"
"How can the Emperor of Heaven understand this kind of thing? How can he care about eleven armies? What they are most willing to do is to practice and understand the laws of heaven and earth. So he only needs the armed guards to win the battle. Don't say, the armed guards do fight. I have won several battles, but there are a lot of tricks. You will probably know it after you go there.”
"Okay, then I will appoint the armed guards," Lu Shu nodded: "How many recommended places are there in each army?"
"Each branch has a quota. This is the point I want to say. No one in the Wuwei Army is willing to participate in the selection of Jianlu," Zhang Weiyu said with a smile.
"Hey, why is this? According to you, aren't they a bunch of money-grubbing people? If they are chosen to join Jianlu, they won't be able to achieve great success? They won't be so short-sighted, right?" Lu Shu asked curiously.
"You don't know something about this. Apart from anything else, these guys are quite self-aware," Zhang Weiyu said with a smile: "They know that they can't be chosen even if they go to Jianlu. After all, the most powerful among dozens of armies." How could the elites gather together like this group of wanderers? Rather than go and get beaten up by other troops and then come back in disgrace, it would be better not to go at all! You must know that these dozens of elites come from the Four Heavenly Emperors! , The camps are all different, so of course they will fight to the death. After entering the Jianlu, they are brothers and in harmony. Before entering, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies of life and death. "
Lu Shu didn't expect that the Wu Wei Army was actually a bunch of elites: "Doesn't that mean that no one has left the Wu Wei Army for several years?"
"No, no, no, they won't go themselves, but they can sell this place to the children of the nobles! It's all money!" Zhang Weiyu said with a smile: "So what you need to consider most now is how to make money. As far as I know this The quota seems not to be expensive, after all, this selection is a narrow escape for many people, and children from noble families would not dare to try casually. Under normal circumstances, it would be embarrassing if they are not selected, but how can the elite geniuses lose such face? So even if you can't be chosen, you still have to kill the players from several other forces to be considered glorious when you go back. There was even a genius who worked for the Northern Emperor who was not selected. As a result, he killed nine geniuses from other forces in the competition and was still punished when he returned. Received great rewards.”
Lu Shu understood. This meant: Although I was not selected, I killed many people from other forces and did not bring shame to my family!
It's just about making money... Spirit money is used here, so he has to find another way to make money to buy a quota? It's not a big problem, he has to think about it...
"I've just killed nine people and haven't been selected yet. Why is that?" Lu Shu asked curiously.
"It's interesting to say that the owner of the Sword House is also interesting. The martial arts competition is just the first level. There are many subsequent selection processes. Just being strong in force is not enough, but I don't know what will happen next." Zhang Weiyu shook his head and said: " Over the years, all the disciples of Jianlu have not said anything about what happened next, and the losers have been asked not to say anything. No one dares to disobey Jianlu's wishes."
"Okay," Lu Shu nodded: "Will you come with us? If you go with us, you can live a more comfortable life than you do now, and you won't have to sell yourself into slavery."
Lu Shu invited him seriously. With such a person who knew a lot of things by his side, he and Lu Xiaoyu would be able to avoid many detours. Moreover, with Lu Xiaoyu's space ring, they would still be hungry even if they didn't make any money.
"No," Zhang Weiyu smiled: "I am very happy here."
"Is it worth it?" Lu Shu suddenly asked. Zhang Weiyu never said what he wanted to do when he stayed here, and Lu Shu didn't ask either. But he suddenly asked such a question at this time, which meant that he wanted to tell Zhang Weiyu. In fact, he knew that Zhang Weiyu He has a certain mission on his shoulders.
Zhang Weiyu smiled and said: "I don't know how long ago, the only thing that can support me in living is one thought. I just want to wait for the day when I can spare no effort to hand over this life, and I will be satisfied."
Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu left, leaving Zhang Weiyu to go north alone. He turned back and glanced at the back of Lu Shu holding Lu Xiaoyu. For some reason, he always felt that this scene was beautiful.
