Chapter 967 Is Xue Buping so Famous?
That day, when Lie Prajna returned to Guangming, he was extremely tired and wanted to have a good rest. However, when he really entered his room and lay on the bed, his heart could not calm down. So he tossed and turned in bed and could not fall asleep.
Lie Prajna's mind was full of the scenes he saw today. He even felt that there were still colorful lights in front of his eyes, as if to blind his eyes.
Lie Prajna hated it. He couldn't believe that his carefully planned plans were broken by Huanyin again and again. Moreover, it seemed that every time Huanyin didn't plan against him, but just relied on luck. Especially this time of recruiting new members, Huanyin's luck can be described as against the sky, and Lie Prajna felt that he was hit hard.
Gradually, bloodshot began to appear in Lie Prajna's eyes. He felt that it was not a solution to go on like this, and he should do something. But now he is alone, and his father is still angry and won't help him, so he can't find anyone to help him, and he can't even find someone to discuss countermeasures with.
The extremely embarrassing situation forced Lie Prajna to think of a solution by himself. However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, with his limited thinking ability, he only added trouble to himself.
In the end, Lie Prajna's eyes were full of blood red. It was at this time that a trace of luck finally climbed into his heart as if pitying him.
"The reason why Xue Buping is so lucky is not luck, but his reputation as a hero is too loud now, so some people come here to join him." Lie Prajna felt that his analysis was very reasonable, but his mood became more depressed. That hero's reputation was based on his annihilation.
"But even if he has a good reputation, I think today, even if he has enough jade slips, he can only get 500 new soldiers. He only has three days in total. Even if he gets 500 new soldiers every day, the total number is only 1,500, which is still not enough for the deputy general. What's more, recruiting is often the most popular on the first day, and then the enthusiasm slowly fades. Therefore, I predict that Xue Buping can recruit less than 400 new soldiers on the second day. In this way, in the end, he will still come to me for help, and I can still place my own people around him. By then, I will place veterans and strong generals, and the group of new recruits he recruited will only become a burden to him. At most, I will manage it for a while longer, and in the end, his deputy general camp will still be mine!" Thinking of this, Lie Prajna finally felt better. So, sleepiness finally filled his mind and made him fall asleep.
The next day, Lie Prajna got up a little late because he was really exhausted the day before. By the time he quietly came to the dark place on the first day, it was almost noon.
Lie Prajna could not wait and cast his eyes on Huan Yin's training ground. He saw that Huan Yin did not take people to drink today, but started to get busy, settling the new recruits he had recruited.
There were not many new recruits, only a few hundred, so Huan Yin arranged them in an orderly manner. However, this also revealed Huan Yin's weakness in recruiting new recruits. It seemed that just as Lie Prajna thought, the number of people was still not enough.
Lie Prajna cast his eyes to the entrance of the training ground again, and saw that there were only a few dozen people there, which was much less than yesterday. He immediately smiled and said to himself: "I knew it, I knew it was like this. No matter how famous Xue Buping is, no matter how lucky he is, there must be a limit. Today, he must not be able to recruit many new people."
In this way, Lie Prajna kept watching in the dark, watching the scene that was obviously not as hot as yesterday, and it lasted until half of Shenshi had passed.
"Haha, he still hasn't recruited a hundred people yet, and this is his limit. It seems that I was too worried yesterday. It's good enough that Xue Buping can set up a command camp." Lie Prajna said to himself excitedly.
However, just as he finished speaking, a large amount of dust inexplicably flew up at the end of the street outside the gate of Yu Huanyin's training ground, accompanied by strong vibrations, which made the originally peaceful street inexplicably smoky.
Lie Prajna was in the dark, which was actually a high place for observation, so he was the first to discover this strange scene that suddenly appeared. So, he subconsciously turned his attention to it.
A closer look showed that it turned out that there were two teams of people walking side by side on the street as if they were competing against each other. These two teams, each team had at least 300 people, and their appearance immediately made the originally not very spacious street seem extremely crowded. In addition, they seemed to have a vague intention to compete with each other, so they all exuded momentum and pressure, making the street look smoky in an instant.
"What's going on?" Lie Prajna was stunned, and he couldn't figure out where the two teams that suddenly appeared came from. Especially since he didn't see the military mark in the two teams, it was even more strange.
"Could it be that civilians are making trouble?" Lie Prajna thought again.
Soon, as if to explain Lie Prajna's confusion, two old men, one fat and one thin, started shouting at each other at the front of the two teams.
The thin one said: "I am Li Tiannan, today I bring the whole family of the Li family in the south of the city to come here to admire the heroic figure of Xue Yingxiong, and I am willing to join Xue Yingxiong's army and follow Xue Yingxiong to fight in the south and north from now on, and never frown!"
The fat one snorted heavily: "I am Guo Zilang. Today, I brought the whole family of Guo from the north of the city to come here to admire the heroic figure of Xue. We also want to join his army and be at his disposal. You guys get out of the way, we were here first!"
The thin one's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "Bullshit, I was the first to step into this street!"
As they walked, the two old men roared at each other. And the family members following behind them also glared at each other, as if they could fight at any time.
Lie Prajna looked at all this, and the whole person was stunned in an instant. He stared blankly at the scene below that suddenly became hot, and said in disbelief: "Xiu... Xiuxian family, it turns out that the Xiuxian family wants to join Xue Buping's army, and the whole family wants to join, this... this..."
Xiuxian family is a force independent of the military system that every city has. For example, the four major material families that Huan Yin controls now are a kind of Xiuxian family.
This kind of family is often not very strong, at least compared to the army, it is far inferior. However, this kind of power is often closely related to the army, and even many excellent immortal cultivation families are favored by the army.
Because the immortal cultivation family has its own system, it can often cultivate a lot of talents and provide a lot of fresh blood for the army. And those excellent immortal cultivation families often produce excellent talents, sometimes even in batches, which is even more meaningful to the army.
Lie Prajna used to have close relations with many immortal cultivation families, so he was very clear about the significance of the existence of immortal cultivation families, and he was even more clear about the significance of immortal cultivation families in recruiting new members.
And it was precisely because Lie Prajna knew this that he couldn't understand why Huan Yin did nothing and could attract immortal cultivation families to rush to join, or even join with his whole family.
"How could this happen? Immortal cultivation families have always relied on their ability to train talents in large quantities, and they claim to be a hotbed of excellent recruits, so they are so arrogant. These guys never do anything without benefits. If they are not given sufficiently favorable conditions, how could they be willing to send new recruits to the army for nothing?"
"I remember that when I was in contact with immortal cultivation families in the past, I had to talk and talk again, and I had to pay a lot before I could get some new people. Moreover, these immortal cultivation families sometimes call out conditions that are quite harsh, and they can even get special approval from the army to send those members of their own clan who cannot pass the assessment into the army."
"But...but why would the two Li and Guo families who came out of nowhere today choose to join Xue Buping's army on their own? Xue Buping is so famous now? This...this shouldn't be enough for them to join with their entire family, right? If they...if their entire family joins, then their own family will no longer exist. Are they all crazy?" The more Lie Prajna thought about it, the more crazy she became. Especially when he saw the terrifying number of people from the two families combined, he felt that Huan Yin's plan to recruit new members seemed to be able to revive again, so he felt even more depressed.
"I am Xu Long, leading 600 people from the east of the city, to join the army of Xue Yingxiong. Everyone in my clan is an elite, and they will definitely contribute to Xue Yingxiong in the future!" Just when Lie Prajna was extremely depressed, a group of people appeared again at the other end of the street. Looking at the momentum, it was much stronger than the other two families, and it seemed to be an excellent cultivation family.
Lie Prajna stared blankly at everything below, and felt that his eyes went black, and he couldn't even breathe, and fainted on the spot.
