Chapter 293 Followers such as Yunlin De Tongbao
The 45 Yulin stars belong to the seven constellations of Xuanwu in the north. They are in charge of chariots and cavalry, and are called the Heavenly Army. They are the winged officials and guard the throne of the emperor.

The so-called emperor's seat is actually the central position, which can also be called Tude Yinglong and Dajiao Xuanyuan.

Therefore, the name of Zuowu Army Yulinwei was so appropriate for Gouchen Yuan and other close soldiers of the country. It was almost tailor-made, so that no one believed that the young man was just doing it crookedly.

In the eyes of everyone, Qi Jingzhi was obviously trying to flatter him and show his loyalty, but he was so subtle and elegant that he even used some sect and homesickness as a fig leaf.

This is really... it really makes the three newly promoted captains admire them so much that they only regretted that they had not studied enough in the past.

Shouba thought more profoundly.

In his opinion, as long as Qi Jingzhi, the Yulin captain, stops at Qizheng Pavilion, he is clearly announcing to the elders of the pavilion that Gouchen Academy intends to have a hand in the second expansion to the north, and as a The king of the country and his army settled in the north without any control.

After all, the stars of Yulin are located in the Northern Xuanwu and Yaozun in the center, but they have no direct relationship with the Big Dipper.

This kind of silent yet loud declaration will definitely satisfy the king, but it is low-key and obscure enough so as not to bring shame on the elders of the Taisou Pavilion... The sense of proportion here is a stroke of genius and wonderful.

But then again, who can really deny Qi Jingzhi's statement about the Fairy Feather Pine Forest?
Xianyu Mountain put its mark on Gouchen Yuan in this traceless way, which is similar to that of an antelope hanging its horns. It is much smarter than Fuya Temple sending in a Shensha General with great fanfare.

Thinking of this, Dean Gouchen Shi looked at the young man with a little more amusement, and even a hint of well-disguised vigilance.

Naturally, Qi Jingzhi didn't understand the twists and turns and calculations in Shouba's heart. At this moment, he just felt that it was ridiculous.

He had no intention of flattering and competing for favors, and he didn't think that just because he had the title of No. [-] in the Sixth Army, he really became the number one in the world.

In the end, everything still has to be said with the knife in hand.

However, to his surprise, when the name of Yulin Guard spread like wildfire in Gouchen Courtyard, the original vacancies of more than half of the first guard and two battalions were quickly filled by the swarms of soldiers, and there were even many people They fought hard to compete for places, which led to several group fights that were not insignificant.

Although the rough guys who only know how to draw swords and fists don't know anything about astrology, they can observe people's words and get information.

When they suddenly heard that both the high-ranking Lord Changshi and the three newly-minted captains had high regard for Qi Jingzhi, the captain of Yulin, and called the Yulin Guards the first guard of Gouchen, these People's minds immediately become alive.

According to Qi Jingzhi's instructions, the Shesheng Battalion commanded by Li Shenxian took the opportunity to absorb many soldiers who were skilled in bow and horse, forming a 500-strong crossbow cavalry.

Naturally, the name of the Shesheng Camp came from Colonel Habayashi's handwriting.

To shoot a living person means to shoot a living thing.

This battalion number was immediately loved by the Bazhou crossbowmen who were born as Orions, and the soldiers who joined later and were good at shooting were also very satisfied.

At the same time, the Yulin Guards Selected Front Battalion, which did not yet have a battalion, unexpectedly included the most arrogant and domineering men, the most trouble-making men, and the most vicious men in fights. The conditions given were extremely harsh, and they must fight to the death and perform meritorious service. Only then can they be regarded as regular soldiers, otherwise they will only receive the pay of auxiliary soldiers.

Unexpectedly, this kind of rule, which means humiliation and punishment, is the most praised by those military thorns, troublemakers, and ruffians in the army. They cry and shout to recommend themselves to the captain in person, hoping to win. After receiving a piece of precious rhinoceros armor, many people set their sights on the extremely tempting position of camp captain.

The scene was so heated that Tong Jiaohai, who was in charge of selecting soldiers, and the other [-] selected soldiers were all stunned and their scalps were numb.

Qi Jingzhi stayed away from these disturbances and rode Bannu alone to the main gate of Gouchen Courtyard to meet an old friend who finally came after hearing the news - Qian Xiaoren.

In fact, the demon-slaying demonstration that took place in the royal capital Dongguo in the morning was too loud, and the names, appearances, and deeds of several young military attachés from Gouchen Court were spread throughout the city. Qian Zizi, who had little information, thought It’s hard not to hear about it.

Although Qi Jingzhi always wore a soul mask during the Dragon Mother's birthday party and called himself Lu Qiyun, a guest of Linshan, his clothes, weapons and other items were not covered at all. Combined with the rumors that the young master of Linshan entered the court and asked for a title, Qian Xiaoren What a smart person that was, he was easily associated with him.

This son of the Qian family has long been salivating over the mountain money bought from Linshan, but as the deputy envoy of the East Treasury of the Imperial Palace, and with people from the Peng family always watching, he naturally did not dare to give someone a hand and rashly deal with it. He made friends with people in the courtyard, so there was no way to catch up with the young master of Linshan.

He had been worrying about this matter for the past few days. Today, he suddenly got the news about Qi Jingzhi. He really just wanted to have a spring and autumn dream and came to Qinghong Gong Jade Pillow. He really didn't want to delay for even a moment, and immediately went to visit his old friend in the name of Coming to the door.

Qian Xiaoren calmed down and looked up and down at the young man riding on the back of the strange beast. Except for one face, he saw that the rest of the young man was very different from the Linshan guest back then.

The joy on his face suddenly bloomed, and he complained in a very affectionate tone: "Brother Lu, this is too unconventional. Why have you been in the royal capital for so long without coming to see my little brother?"

In fact, Qian Xiaoren is two or three years older than Qi Jingzhi, but he still calls himself his younger brother as he did in Chaozhou, and he still calls the young man Brother Lu, which shows that he is thoughtful and thick-skinned.

Qi Jingzhi smiled casually, pointed to the string of copper coins tied with red thread around the other party's waist, and asked without any hint of surprise: "The bag on the bedside is as big as a fist. If you break it, there are three hundred coins!"

"When you enter the East Treasury of the inner palace, you are like a mouse entering a rice vat. Have you saved enough three hundred coins in your purse?"

Qian Xiaoren became even more happy when he saw the closeness in the young man's words.

He did not hide his feelings and said with a smile: "How can this man be contented? When I was in Chaozhou, I felt that I could achieve my heart with three hundred coins. I dare not say that Master Qiang is better than his ancestor, but he is already quite good. Bufan, at least he won't be suppressed by Xin Changji anymore."

"But when I saw the atmosphere of the inner palace, my heart became much more frugal. If I don't save five hundred, eight hundred or even one thousand money, wouldn't it be like entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed?"

Qi Jingzhi laughed dumbly: "You are really greedy. You are worthy of being a descendant of the Da Peng family."

Hearing this, Qian Xiaoren looked at the young man with a different look. He could see a bit of sadness in it: "Before the younger brother came over, Peng Yuanbao must have known that the news could no longer be concealed, so he ran to the east. Qianku, I insist on taking my little brother with me to taste Linshan Mountain Money..."

"Brother Lu left the younger brother behind, but used the money to buy the mountain at a cheaper price for the rogue who pretended to be a Taoist priest and raised ducks. Wouldn't it cause pain to his relatives and pleasure to his enemies? When the younger brother thought of that guy's face, his heart was still twisted. , the pain is unbearable!”

Seeing Qian Xiaoren looking like he was about to die suddenly and in pain as soon as he spoke, Qi Jingzhi didn't waste any time and immediately opened the Tiger King Jade Box, counted out twelve mountain coins with strong mountain charm and handed them to him.

Back then, one mountain coin could transform into the body of a money snake, about an inch long. Twelve coins strung together formed exactly one snake.

Qian Xiaoren's eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw the countless copper coins in the jade box.It's just that he still had some self-awareness, and he wisely did not ask for it. Instead, he respectfully took the twelve mountain coins as if he had found a treasure.

"The weather is bone-chilling, so I buy wine to keep it away. My heart is as cold as ashes, so I buy a mountain and hide in it."

He read the inscription on the money for buying a mountain, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused: "When you buy a mountain, you buy Linshan, but when you sell wine, what kind of wine do you sell?" Qi Jingzhi naturally couldn't answer this question, so he just listed the things he bought that day. Qian Snake briefly recounted his cruelty.

Qian Xiaoren immediately showed a pensive look on his face after hearing this: "It sounds like this Qian Snake is somewhat similar to the crisp snake recorded in the "Snake Book". Both can be broken and resuscitated, and they are full of vitality. If they can be caught alive, they can also try to kill them. The vitality is sealed within the corpse and should be used as a good medicine to set bones and heal injuries."

Qi Jingzhi really didn't know how to use this. After all, those money snakes had been beaten back to their original form, and all the vitality belonging to living beings had been dissipated, leaving only copper coins with mountain charms.

Qian Xiaoren thought for a while, then bit the tip of his tongue, sprayed blood on the twelve mountain coins, and then muttered something.

"Qian is the sacred treasure of the world. It is round on the outside and square on the inside. It resembles the sky and the earth. It is hard to decay and has a long life. It is not short of the path."

"When the four seasons move and all things come into being, money is not as good as heaven; to reach the poor and open up barriers, to revive the poor and help the poor, heaven is not as good as money."

"It accumulates like a mountain, flows like a river, sometimes moves and stills, and moves with hidden knots. It flies without wings and walks without feet!"

"Now I have Xiaoren of the Qian family. I would like to use the essence and blood of the Dapeng family and the copper spirit of the Qian family's senior officials to name her: Linde Tongbao!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve copper coins suddenly merged into a string, and immediately turned into a one-foot-two-inch bronze snake with a sharp beak and bald tail, as thick as copper coins, and two faintly raised fleshy bumps on its forehead.

This strange snake shook its head and tail, exuding a rich copper aura, which was somewhat similar to the aura of Kong Qingzhi.

It lingered briefly in the palm of Qian Xiaoren's left hand, and then wrapped around the forearm of Qian's son.

Qi Jingzhi felt strange when he saw this.

Qian Xiaoren's method is a bit like refining a weapon, and it also has some shadows of the ritual of sealing a town, but it is paradoxical. Moreover, since this method can be used by a young monk who has not even achieved telepathy, the threshold is obviously higher than that of a monk. Refining weapons and sealing towns are much lower.

In Qi Jingzhi's perception, the "Linder Tongbao" inspired by Qian Xiaoren's spirit was actually not a real living thing, but just a string of copper coins that grew into the shape of strange snakes.

This method is quite mysterious. Listening to the voice is a secret skill that can only be performed by the Qian family's children, so it is not taboo to reveal it in front of others.

After spitting out the blood from the tip of his tongue, Qian Xiaoren's face turned slightly pale, but his expression was very excited, like a child who got a beloved toy.

He stared at the bronze snake wrapped around his left arm again and again, and then raised his head with satisfaction: "My younger brother has heard that Peng Yuanbao did not hesitate to use the Peng family's unique light shadow money in exchange for mountain money. I wonder what Brother Lu wants from Qian Jiu?"

Qian Xiaoren obviously didn't know about Peng Yuanbao's exchange for Kong Qing's essence, and thought that Peng's army was just to buy mountain money.

Qi Jingzhi really didn't know what to say to this Qian who was sometimes very shrewd and sometimes childish. In short, he just didn't see it.

He said with some disgust: "You are so poor that only money is left, right?"

Although he just disliked him, Qi Jingzhi really wanted to entrust him with something to do: "You should be able to contact General Zuo, right? I would like to invite him to come under my command and serve as a battalion lieutenant."

Qian Xiaoren was shocked when he heard this: "You heard me right, brother? Brother Lu is actually willing to entrust his subordinate Huben to General Zuo like...a..."

Qi Jingzhi said nonchalantly: "A heroic soul who died in the mountains with his head raised and roaring. In my opinion, General Zuo's heart is far more pure than most people in the world."

This statement was very reasonable. Even though Qian Xiaoren still felt that Qi Jingzhi's move was too deviant, he had to nod and admit: "People's hearts are deceitful and greedy. There are indeed very few people who can be like General Zuo. As for contacting General Zuo... "

"It has a majestic spirit and body, and it has no fixed place. It is either running around in the mountains with its head raised, making the sound of giant tigers and rocks, or it is wandering around ancient battlefields, looking for the saber it has lost for countless years. "

"If it were another time, I can't guarantee that I will be able to find it. Fortunately, this time there is a sudden change in the Northland. General Zuo has already smelled the blood evil spirit and headed straight for the Forbidden Water Pass. When he passed by Xiuling, he returned it My younger brother brought a few ancient copper coins with him."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be surprised and said: "If nothing happens, I will lead my army northward in the near future, also heading to Jinshui Pass."

"Then it will be easier!"

Qian Xiaoren slapped his head, and immediately stretched his right hand flat with his palm facing the sky. Immediately, a small bronze tiger, only the size of a copper coin, jumped out of his sleeve and lay in his palm.

"This is a five-baht treasure that can be used to prepare soldiers. It was transformed from the five-baht money that General Zuo gave me at the mountain guest's banquet. This thing was contaminated with a trace of evil spirit from General Zuo. Brother Lu took it with him until it was banned. There is no need to look for Shuiguan, General Zuo will show up to see you."

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi could already roughly imagine how lively the scene would be on Qian Xiaoren's funeral platform in the future.

Three hundred dollars is not enough for this guy, and he still wants to save a thousand dollars without fear of dying from depletion of his essence and blood.

No wonder the master said that Ding Lingwei spent more time playing than he did, so that he could create the so-called Crane Wing Formation.

Each family's inheritance of martial arts has its own mysteries, and everyone's understanding of the path is also different, so the scenes they create are really very different.

As his thoughts flashed, Qi Jingzhi reached out and took the bronze tiger. He saw that this thing was not a living thing either. There were even inscriptions engraved on its sides: "Prevent troops from taking advantage of them, eliminate evil and eliminate disasters."

"These words have good intentions."

Qi Jingzhi nodded. He originally wanted to put this so-called five-baht weapon-preparing treasure into the Tiger King's jade box, but then he remembered the large amount of mountain coins in the jade box, so he pulled out a piece of silver belt around his waist. A piece of silk thread hung the bronze tiger on the side of the captain's gold medal.

He lowered his head and took a look, feeling that one gold and one green complement each other, and he couldn't help but be very satisfied.

When he looked up again, Qi Jingzhi happened to see Qian Xiaoren curling his lips secretly, and then he realized that he had accidentally revealed his childishness.

He coughed quickly and asked, "What happened to General Zuo's saber?"

Qian Xiaoren shook his head when he heard this: "General Zuo is not actually a Zuo family, nor is he a general, but when friends see him, he often raises his head with his left hand and wears a set of tattered leather armor. He must have been a killer during his lifetime. I gave it such a nickname."

As he spoke, he slipped the Linde Tongbao into his sleeve: "As for General Zuo's last name during his lifetime, why he died in battle, and why he never forgets his sword, I really don't know anything about it."
