Chapter 51

"My lord, why is it so early this year!"

As soon as the messenger left, Liu Shun asked with a puzzled face.

In previous years, Fucheng reported work. Usually after the Shangyuan Festival, the Fucheng yamen started to work. The school captains from all over the place made a brief report, and then they had a banquet and dispersed happily.

But this year, before the tenth day of the first month, the Ministry of War was sent to order Kuaiqi, and everything was unusual.

Wang Xuan's eyes moved slightly, "Go in and talk."

Everyone enters the inner hall and closes the door. The team leader Zhang Heng Liu Shun and the soldier Cao Bai Sanxi worship Guo Luquan. This is the current team of the Yong'an Zhenxie Army.

Wang Xuan didn't hide anything, and told what he knew one by one.

Guo Luquan naturally knew it well. Although Zhang Heng and Liu Shun knew a thing or two, they didn't expect the matter to be so big.

"Restructuring of the military government?"

Zhang Heng said with a sneer: "Our Suppressing Evil Army's government is not friendly, mother is ignorant, maybe one day it will be abolished, why do the important figures in the court suddenly want to change the system?"

"Woof! Wang!" Ah Fu called twice.

Zhang Heng was speechless, "Ah Fu, I'm not talking about you."

Liu Shun gave Zhang Heng a white look, "Didn't you hear what your lord said, the treasury is out of money, the royal family and the aristocratic families from all over the world are at a stalemate, each controlling the frontier army and the central army, and they dare not move, so they set their sights on our Suppressing Evil Army."

Guo Luquan frowned and said, "The question is how to reform the system. It takes money to strengthen the army and raise soldiers. The treasury is empty. Is it possible that the royal family has to pay for it?"

"You'll know when you go."

Wang Xuan's face was calm, "Mr. Zhang Hengguo will go with me, Liu Shun, you are cautious, and Bai Juncao will stay and look after the military mansion. Training will not stop in the morning and evening on weekdays. If there is an accident... don't be impulsive, wait for me return."

"Yes, my lord!"

Liu Shun bent over and clasped his fists, his eyes were serious.

He understood what Wang Xuan meant, and this report might be full of dangers.

.........

On the third day of the first lunar month, it is very fierce, and everything is inappropriate.

There is a folk saying in Dayan, "The first day is early, the second day is early, and the third day is full of sleep", which means that the first and second days are busy with New Year greetings, and the third day is unlucky, so they have to hide at home to sleep and rest.

Naturally, Wang Xuan didn't care about these things, Bingzhou has many mountainous roads, and now the mountains are blocked by ice and snow, it will take at least five days to get to the prefectural city of Kangyuan, so he has to hurry on his way ahead of time.

Early in the morning, the three of them rode out of the city.

The good thing is that the beginning of spring has arrived, Yang Qi is beginning to grow, the winter clouds have dissipated, the sky is blue, and the sun is shining on the snow-covered mountains, which is very enchanting.

The eagle crowed loudly, and Xiaobai circled in the blue sky.

With the sound of horseshoes, Ah Fu scurried back and forth in the snow.

Wang Xuan rode on his horse, with the cold wind blowing on his face, he had no time to appreciate the vast snow scene in front of him, but sank into it, checking the deduction disk of the way of heaven.

Regardless of "Blood Fiend Body Training Technique" or "Taiyin Shape Training Technique", even if the reputation is improved, the deduction is based on years, so ignore it for the time being.

Both the refining of the evil weapon and the "Sutra of Demon Transformation" can enhance the strength of the military government, but both require a lot of resources to invest, and they are still poor.

Therefore, what he improved was Wang Jiayou's Dragon Spear Technique.

In the last deduction, Dragon Flying Spear was not promoted, but a special skill of gaining momentum was added. Now it has only been two days, and the progress has reached 10%. I don’t know if it can be promoted this time...

Zhang Heng next to him suddenly said: "My lord, this time we will not enter the counties and towns along the way. I am afraid that we will have to sleep in the wilderness. We can arrive in four days. Is it too urgent?"

Wang Xuan shook his head and said: "This time the reform of the government army is not easy, I have to go to Captain Zhao for some information a few days in advance."

Guo Luquan smiled: "Don't worry, I know this road very well, I know many good places, and there are also inns along the way..."

The three walked and chatted, and their figures gradually faded away...

…………

The sky is over, and a bright moon is half covered by idle clouds.

In the snowy forest mountain road, a few lanterns were shaking, a dozen men, women and children looked around vigilantly, the three bullock carts in the middle were full of boxes, creaking and driving through the ice, snow and mud, a "golden" pennant flag slowly drift.

A middle-aged man was sitting on the hood of the car. He was Jin Baichuan, the leader of the Liyuan Jin family class who had shown his face in the Lion House in Shanyin.

He looked much older now, coughing softly from time to time.

Seeing this, a strong man next to him quickly took off the sheepskin water bag on his waist, and said concernedly: "Master, drink some water."

"No, I just have a deficiency of the lung meridian."

Jin Baichuan waved his hand, with some sadness in his eyes, "Chunsheng, I was confused as a teacher for a while, but it hurt you."

Chunsheng, a strong man, shook his head quickly: "Master, we all know how hard it is for you to grow old. Besides, if you hadn't taken care of us since we were young, we would have starved to death. It's just a moment of desperation. We, the Jin family, will never be troubled."

"Yes, master."

A beautiful woman next to her smiled and said: "As the saying goes, moving a tree to death, moving a person to live, Fucheng Shangyuan festival, all kinds of arts gather, we will make the Jin family class a hit."

As she said that, longing appeared in her eyes, "I heard that everyone Chen Xianyu was also invited to Kangyuan City to perform at the Crane Dance Tower. If we can meet each other, I will have no regrets in this life."

Jin Baichuan shook his head and said with a smile: "We have a lot of teams in Liyuan, and the North and South Pavilions are the most respected. Chen Xianyu and everyone are the chiefs of Qingyi Pavilion. Those kind of people can't be said to be teachers."

Seeing the disappointment of the female disciple, he stroked his beard and shook his head, "But for the sake of being in the same vein, I should be able to get you a post for you as a teacher."

The woman was overjoyed immediately, "Thank you, Master!"

How could the battle in the Lion Tower be unaffected? It doesn't matter if they were defeated by Xicaimen Luo's team. They don't eat martial arts, and the secrets of kung fu are just means of self-defense.

Trouble is, his rebellious son has ruined the reputation of the theater troupe. The rich merchants and villages in several counties near Shanyin dare not invite them to the concerts, and even other troupes secretly exclude them.

Helpless, he had no choice but to leave his hometown and go to Fucheng to make a living.

Fortunately, these disciples of his are more competitive.

Jin Baichuan shook his head slightly with a smile, a flash of relief flashed in his eyes.

Call ~
Suddenly, a dark wind blew up out of thin air in the mountains and forests.

Suddenly clusters of will-o'-the-wisps drifted in the dense forest, and there were faint screams and killing sounds.

"alert!"

The strong man Chunsheng shouted angrily, men, women and children immediately raised their weapons.

Jin Baichuan frowned and looked around, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, they are just some ghosts from the mountains and forests, Chunsheng, disperse them, lest ghosts hit the wall."

"Yes, Master."

The strong man came to the front of the team in a few steps, wiped his face with his big hand, and suddenly a hideous red face mask appeared, and then he sank to his dantian: "Wow..."

The voice was rough and wild, shaking the mountains and forests, and the leaves swayed.

This is the secret art of Liyuan, which evolved from the ancient Nuo opera. It is best at exorcising ghosts and suppressing evil spirits. Almost all troupes in the world know it, but Chunsheng is obviously good at it.

In an instant, the wind stopped and the will-o'-the-wisp dissipated.

The female disciple next to him frowned and said, "Master, this is the official way, and Yaoji Jing often raids, so why are there so many wild ghosts?"

Jin Baichuan sighed: "The chaos after the collapse of the Great Wei Dynasty lasted for a hundred years. There are countless ghosts, which have not been cleared up to now. It is not surprising that they occasionally wander into the officialdom. Let's go."

A group of people continued to walk, and when they left the forest, they saw a huge carriage and horse shop built next to the mountain. In the darkness, there were lanterns, and there seemed to be voices coming from them.

Jin Baichuan heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "That's the Four Seas Inn, which is regarded as the property of the Four Seas Gate. Remember, when you walk in the rivers and lakes, don't meddle in other people's business."

"Yes, Master!"

……

Not long after the group of people left, the mountain forest was once again blew by a gloomy wind, the will-o'-the-wisps swayed, and a layer of white mist formed, making the entire mountain path blurry.

"Wang Wang!"

Accompanied by the barking of dogs and the sound of hooves of horses, three lights came from a distance, and it was Wang Xuan and his party.

Since they left Yong'an, they have traveled along the official road all the way, starry night and night, and slept in the wilderness when they were tired.

"hey-hey……"

Looking at the mist in the mountains and forests ahead, Zhang Heng sneered and said, "Remnant souls and wild ghosts dare to block the way, my lord, it's better to let Xiaobai scare them."

In the past two days, Ah Fu has shown many extraordinary things. He can hear wild beasts lurking and forest monsters running back and forth several miles away. He also wants to see the little white eagle's ability to drive away evil spirits.

Guo Luquan hurriedly stopped, "Don't, these remnants are exactly what I want."

After finishing speaking, he took out a stack of paper figurines from his bosom, held the formula and waved it out.

I saw the paper figurines flying in the night wind, and clusters of ghost fires rushed out of the fog in the mountains and forests with black smoke, and submerged into the paper figurines.

Wang Xuan looked interestingly from the side, this paper man technique is a bit like a simplified version of the altar of Yin soldiers, although it only contains some remnant souls and wild ghosts, it is enough for pathfinding and exploration.

As the ghosts were taken away, the foggy night in the mountains and forests gradually dissipated.

Guo Luquan put the paper figurine in his arms, took a sip of wine and smiled, "If the old man remembers correctly, there is a chariot and horse shop in front of the four seas. It happens to feed the horses some food and grass, and we also have a hot meal."

"Wang Wang!"

Suddenly, Ah Fu called a few times into the distance, and then looked at Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan laughed, "Ah Fu sensed bloody murderous intent, could it be... a black shop?"
