Chapter 7 Inside and outside the court, which one is not a beast in clothes?
Raise your shield!

Jiang Chen looked up at the blood-red arrows that fell in mid-air, and immediately clenched the grip on the back of the shield, protecting his upper body and head with the rattan shield.

but……

If a mere rattan shield could prevent the Yang clan's blood feud arrow, which ranks second among the five archery skills, the Yang clan, who is famous for riding and shooting in the Western Regions, would have been driven away from the Loulan border long ago.

hum!
The arrow of blood vengeance shone with a stern and crazy blood-colored light!
Facing the enemy holding the shield, it let out an excited and bloodthirsty cry, and then aimed at the rattan shield fiercely and flew down!

There was no loud noise or sparks, the moment the arrow of blood vengeance touched the rattan shield, it pierced through the thick wooden structure!
next second!
It bumped into Jiang Chen's arm excitedly, trying to draw fresh flesh from it!
This is the magic of the Arrow of Blood Feud!

It can recover kinetic energy by sucking the flesh and blood of the enemy, and then continue to aim at the next flesh and blood enemy. Every time Yangyunlang uses this arrow, it can often kill several Qingzhou soldiers in a short time, which is extremely ferocious!
however,
next moment,
boom!
The sound of gold and iron clashing!

The moment the blood feud arrow, which was so swift and ferocious just now, hit Jiang Chen's arm, it seemed to hit an extremely hard rock, and almost lost all its kinetic energy after only half an inch of penetration.

"This defense is really powerful!"

The moment Jiang Chen was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the huge energy and blood contained in the arrow of blood feud from Yangyun wolf burst out at this moment, giving the arrow a new driving force!

hum!
The blood-red arrow rotates, penetrates, and advances like an electric drill!
Jiang Chen's eyes were shattered, and he felt a piercing pain in his arm, and couldn't help crying out in pain: "Ahhhhhh!"

Look around.

I saw that the arrow of blood feud was shining with fiery red light, and it forcibly penetrated into the hard arm like a rock, pierced through the bones, and broke out of the arm. After absorbing a little flesh and blood, it shot towards Jiang at an extremely fast speed. Dust rushed away from the chest.

pity.

The mountain-like solid skin on the chest is three points harder than the arms.

Even though the arrow of blood feud tried its best, it only left a scratch on Jiang Chen's chest, and then fell to the ground with a wail.

It penetrated the rattan shield, the double arm skin and bones successively. It was already at the end of its strength, how could it penetrate the last solid line of defense with only a little flesh and blood on the arm?
"Han Shu Han Anguo Biography" has a saying, "At the end of the crossbow, you can't enter the land; when the wind is weak, you can't fluff."

Even a sharp arrow shot from a strong bow, when shot to a very far place, when the strength is exhausted, even the extremely thin Lu Jin cannot be shot through;
Even if it is a violent gale, after the last sliver of force is left, even the lightest feathers cannot be blown up.

Jiang Chen's face was pale, and he knelt down on the ground, but soon stood up again, took the rattan shield with his still healthy left hand, and stared at the Yangyun wolf who fled hundreds of meters away, his body was still as stable as Mount Tai.

All the folk husbands showed half-surprised and half-joyed expressions.

They thought that Jiang Chen would surely die, after all, he was the leader of thousands of black-robed cavalry, and killing Qingzhou soldiers was like killing chickens and dogs.

But who would have imagined that a mere peasant could bear a blow from the enemy general without dying, what an honor this is?

When they return to the village to farm in the future, this experience of fighting side by side with Jiang Chen can even become their capital to brag to the villagers.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"After being shot by me, how could he still be alive?"

As the owner of the arrow, Yangyunlang immediately noticed that the arrow of blood hatred had hit successfully, but before he had time to be happy, he felt angrily that the arrow of blood hatred shot by himself could not even kill an unknown soldier. What a shame?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to shoot again.

pity.

How could Zhang Longxiang, the dignified captain of grain guard, give him a second chance?

Nearly [-] Qingzhou soldiers were like wolves and tigers, staring greedily at the black-robed cavalry whose morale had been demoralized.If Yang Yunlang wastes time and shoots the second arrow, more cavalry will surely die here!

Even worse,

The hundreds of cavalry who set fire to the east were also harassed by Qingzhou's rout.

Not only could it not be a help, but it was even very likely that once they went to the rescue, the whole army would fall into the quagmire and be surrounded and killed by the Qingzhou Corps.

"Damn!"

"One day, I will cut off Zhang Long with my own hands... the heads of these Eastern barbarians will be built into a Beijing temple!"

Yangyunlang cursed angrily, made a decisive decision, gave up on the rescue to the east, and quickly returned to Loulan with the remaining [-] or [-] cavalry.

see.

All the husbands cheered in unison:
"We won, we won!"

And those Qingzhou soldiers who lost first and then won, also showed tired and bitter smiles.

"Hahahaha, I won't send you away!"

Looking at the back of the black-robed cavalry going away, Jiang Chen's mind suddenly relaxed, and his body also collapsed at the moment the tension turned into relaxation.

All limbs and bones, there were waves of weakness that penetrated into the bone marrow...

Although the arrow of blood hatred did not cause fatal damage, it also swallowed a lot of blood and flesh, and the fate "hold on", its magic also needs to consume energy and blood to stimulate it. It is entirely due to Jiang Chen's strong willpower that he can last until this moment result.

On the other side, all the cavalry who set fire to food in the east were killed by the Qingzhou soldiers' blades.

Zhang Longxiang ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and extinguish the flames of the grain carts, while he brought a grain officer and walked up to Jiang Chen with great interest, and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that the person who did such a great thing was just a civilian husband."

Jiang Chen coughed twice, and responded weakly:
"Poor people only have a cheap life. It's rare to have a chance with low risk and high income. If you can win a promotion, how can you just watch it slip away?"

With a little appreciation in Zhang Longxiang's eyes, a trace of qi and blood popped out, attached to Jiang Chen's arm, temporarily stabilizing his injury, and then asked:

"The so-called advanced level means that you think you can become a member of the Qingzhou soldiers with this merit? Do you really want to become a Qingzhou soldier?"

Jiang Chen nodded, recalling with a little self-mockery:

"Before this battle, Qingzhou soldiers were only killed or injured about [-] people, but the peasants died of illness, exhaustion, and heat... More than [-] people fell down in the depths of this vast Gobi, and the matter was hastily buried."

"Qingzhou soldiers are valuable pawns, and us civilians are just discarded pawns that can be discarded at any time."

Hear this.

Zhang Longxiang was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh:
"Yes, you are right. The tattoos on civil servants are birds, and the tattoos on military officers are beasts. Who is not a beast in clothes inside and outside the court? They are just treating conscripts as consumables."

Speaking of this, Zhang Longxiang also gradually lost interest in chatting, shook his head, and entered today's topic:

"Master Jiang Chen, with your achievements today, I can give you two choices."

Jiang Chen's heart tightened suddenly, and he ordered Gongsun Hu to let go of himself, struggling to be independent in front of Zhang Longxiang, raised his head weakly, stared at this tall general who was nearly nine feet tall, and said in a deep voice:
"Please speak."

Zhang Longxiang raised his first finger and said with a smile:

"First, since you claim to be a soldier of the school lieutenant, I also intend to take you into my pocket, and you can become a member of the official Qingzhou soldiers without any conditions.

But your body's qi and blood are too weak, and you need dozens of blood-replenishing grass fruits, some healing elixir, and several life-burning elixir to survive the test of the Qingyang ceremony, and the cost is quite high.

And in this process, it is very likely that you will need to burn more than ten years of life in order to successfully pass the ritual test.

Therefore, I hope you will join my personal army, follow me around, give advice, at most three months, slowly warm up your body, give you elixir to heal your injuries, give you grass and fruit to strengthen your body, and give you a place in Qingzhou soldiers How about being extraordinary? "

Hear this.

Jiang Chen's heart trembled slightly.

Another three months?
The day lilies are cold!

In this dangerous battle to conquer the Western Regions, with only my thin body, can I really survive for three months by luck?
Thinking of this.

Jiang Chen shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"My lord, please tell me about the second option."

Zhang Longxiang remained expressionless, and raised his second finger:
"Then, you can also consider the second option."

"My Zhang family is the number one medical family in Qingzhou. There are countless secret medicines. You can also enjoy great discounts in the army. You can also exchange your military achievements for a low-grade healing secret medicine, which will restore your health within three days.

At that time.

In his heyday, he will participate in the selection of Qingzhou soldiers in the near future.

About two or three days later, the Zhengxi Army will select a group of outstanding talents from among the civilians, and initially obtain the qualifications to be promoted to Qingzhou soldiers. After 36 days of training and teaching for new recruits, Qingyang ceremony will be held for those who perform well.

But there is one thing, I have to remind you, according to my observation, your martial arts, energy and blood may not meet the minimum standard for the selection of Qingzhou soldiers. "

heard.

The Liangtai official on the side looked weird, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, wondering:
"Lord Colonel has always been generous, how can he be full of nonsense like today?

If it was the usual time, if you met a good seedling, you would always feed it directly with a large amount of elixir.

How could it be that today, he searched and searched so hard, even thinking about some elixir for a long time, as if he had been dropped by someone... Strange, so strange! "
