Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 74

noon that day.

Dragon Shadow Guard kitchen.

Su Mu and Lu Fan sat face to face, looking a little excited.

"I didn't expect that you are so strong now."

"Even Xu Qing can win."

"so amazing."

It was only now that Su Mu had the chance to say what he had held back for a long time.

Lu Fan didn't speak, but buried himself in his meal.

"Continuing on like this, next year's competition, you are very hopeful."

Su Mu thought of this, and smiled at Lu Fan: "Maybe we can really get a first name back."

"Well, I'll try my best."

Lu Fan replied and continued to eat with his head down.

"correct."

Su Mu asked with a smile: "Today, we have made a great contribution, right?"

"maybe."

Lu Fan was not sure.

Today's task, although the result is very satisfactory, but the process is somewhat unsatisfactory.

Not perfect.

"How much do you think we can gain this time?"

Thinking of this, Su Mu felt a little more expectation, "It should be at least one or two thousand?"

"almost."

Lu Fan thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's more than that."

"that would be great."

Su Mu smiled and said, "In this way, I can change to a third-order exercise book."

"It's okay to save more."

Lu Fan suggested: "In the future, we will definitely have a lot of tasks. When we have accumulated enough combat achievements, we will exchange for a book of high-level exercises."

That's what he thought.

"Forget it, I can't wait that long."

Su Mu muttered: "Since I was promoted to the ninth rank, my cultivation base has not improved much, and the first rank skills are just not good, the difference is too far."

"Okay, it's okay to change to a third-order exercise first."

Lu Fan also understands that the low level of kung fu will not only affect the speed of cultivation, but also affect the upper limit of cultivation.

With only the first-level skills, one may be able to practice to the eighth or seventh level, but it is almost impossible to go further.

Like the sixth-level kung fu that Lu Fan is practicing now, Dingtian can only make him reach the second-level cultivation base.

It will take many years.

Under normal circumstances, after he was promoted to the fourth-rank cultivation base, the sixth-order exercises would not be of much use.

If you want to go further, it will be very slow, very slow.

Therefore, Lu Fan will definitely switch to higher-level exercises in the future.

He wanted to do it in one step, and exchange his military exploits for the ninth-order skills.

After all, the highest skill that can be exchanged in the military camp is only the ninth rank.

No matter how high-level it is, no matter how many combat achievements you have, you can't change it.

Because it is too rare.

It's just that 2 battle merits are needed in exchange for the ninth-level skills, and Lu Fan only has more than 5 now, which is still far away.

He needs to gain more military exploits.

"Well, that's the only way to go first."

Su Mu nodded and said with a smile, "I don't want to be left too far by you."

"Let's eat quickly."

Lu Fan reminded.

"Oh."

Only then did Su Mu lower his head and eat the rice with a big mouthful.

……

……

the next day.

August [-]nd.

morning.

On the martial arts arena, ten teams of Dragon Shadow Guards lined up neatly in ten square teams.

Ten captains stood at the front of the line.

Li Yongtai walked out slowly, came in front of the crowd, and looked around the audience.

"Hello everyone, yesterday was the first time our Dragon Shadow Guard performed a mission, and we successfully completed it."

"For us Dragon Shadow Guard, it can be called a perfect start."

"The successful completion of the task is of course inseparable from everyone's efforts."

"If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded!"

Speaking of this, Li Yongtai paused for a while, and then said: "Yesterday I have drawn up the list of meritorious soldiers, and I have reported it to the commander-in-chief, and it has been approved."

"Today I'm here to announce it to you all."

"I hope you can all remember this moment today, so as to motivate yourself and learn from those soldiers who have done meritorious service."

Li Yongtai said loudly: "After fighting for it, you will be able to make countless military exploits."

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed loudly.

"Okay, I'll announce the list next."

Li Yongtai nodded slightly, took out a roster prepared in advance, and read aloud: "Yang Cheng, Liu Yang, Li Xun... won 500 military exploits, and rewarded 1 tael of silver."

"Xu Jing, Song Yu, Lu Rui... won 1000 military exploits and rewarded 3 taels of silver."

"Ye Wuchen, Meng Ran, Cao Ning... won 2000 military exploits and rewarded 5 taels of silver."

"Qin Yu and Su Mu received 3000 military exploits and 10 taels of silver."

"Lu Fan received 5000 military exploits and 20 taels of silver."

After reading, Li Yongtai closed the roster and looked around the crowd again, "Everyone's military exploits have been recorded in the roster, and the rewards will be given to you by the captain."

"Yes!"

The crowd answered in unison.

"Okay, let's train on our own."

Li Yongtai didn't say much.

No need.

Those military exploits and rewards are more useful than any of his words.

He believes that more people will actively participate in the next mission.

There is no need for him to mobilize at all.

As for loyalty, after several months of observation, he can now basically confirm that most of the Dragon Shadow Guards have not been bought by the gang.

Firstly, it was because Long Yingwei was younger than all of them.

It's the time when teenagers are passionate.

Secondly, most of these Dragon Shadow Guards have good backgrounds, and they don't bother to join forces with those gangs.

Moreover, as they get along for a long time, the Dragon Shadow Guards will become more united and have a greater sense of belonging under the influence of each other.

It will be more difficult to be bought in the future.

This is also the reason why the age of the Dragon Shadow Guard is set below.

Strong plasticity, high upper limit, more passion and blood.

"Yes!"

The crowd dispersed.

"Lu Fan, congratulations."

"You did a great job yesterday!"

"So strong!"

"That's you. If you were someone else, you might not be able to complete the task."

"That's right, besides you, who else can be Xu Qing's opponent?"

Many people gathered around Lu Fan and congratulated him.

Many people who were originally unconvinced, after yesterday's battle, were convinced by Lu Fan.

After all, Lu Fan's performance was too amazing.

It can be said to far surpass them.

When the gap is too large, there will be a halo blessing, which will greatly increase Lu Fan's status in their hearts.

"Thank you!"

Lu Fan responded with a smile on his face.

After the crowd dispersed, Lu Fan came to the corner where he often stayed alone and practiced various skills.

After a while, Ye Wuchen walked towards this side with easy steps.

He stopped not far from Lu Fan and watched Lu Fan practice.

In the entire Dragon Shadow Guard, Lu Fan is undoubtedly the most diligent person.

On the contrary, Ye Wuchen should be the most leisurely person.

He had never practiced as hard as Lu Fan, and he didn't even practice martial arts like others.

Usually when he is in the martial arts arena, he will find a place to sit there, close his eyes and rest his mind.

Occasionally watch others practice martial arts.

But he never practiced himself.

Oddly enough, his captain didn't care about him either.

Very laissez-faire with him.

Ordinarily, he and Lu Fan are two extremes.

But at the moment they are getting closer to each other.

"Are you looking for me?"

Seeing Ye Wuchen, Lu Fan stopped training and walked towards him.

"Ah."

Ye Wuchen nodded, went up to meet him, and said with a smile: "You really surprised me."

"how?"

Lu Fan was a little puzzled.

"Yesterday's actions, your performance throughout the whole process, I have seen everything in my eyes."

Ye Wuchen gave Lu Fan a thumbs up, "Well done!"

"Oh?"

Lu Fan heard the meaning of Ye Wuchen's words. Since the other party was able to stare at him the whole time without letting him notice, it means that Ye Wuchen's strength is still stronger than him?
Hidden so deep!
He thought about Ye Wuchen hiding his strength, but he didn't expect the other party to hide so much.

During the ranking competition, the strength Ye Wuchen displayed was at most the peak of the seventh rank.

But now it seems that the opponent's strength may have reached the third rank?
So strong!
But, Ye Wuchen hid it well, why remind him now?

Could it be that he felt a threat from him?Lost your temper?
possible.

No matter how calm Ye Wuchen is, he will inevitably feel the oppressive feeling brought by him chasing after him.

What's more, after all, the other party is a boy around his age.

Competitiveness is always there.

When the gap between the two is very large, Ye Wuchen can not care.

Even if Lu Fan showed a certain amount of talent, it didn't matter.

However, when the strength of the two is getting closer, Ye Wuchen's mentality will inevitably change.

Especially a genius like Ye Wuchen can appreciate how fast Lu Fan is catching up.

"When we competed, I had already tested your true strength. At most, you can reach the peak of the seventh rank."

Glancing at Lu Fan, Ye Wuchen continued: "But now, your real strength is no less than that of a fifth-rank expert."

"It's far beyond my imagination."

"I admire you!"

Ye Wuchen emphasized: "Sincerely."

"But I'm still not as good as you, am I?"

Lu Fan tentatively said, "Your strength is still far stronger than mine, isn't it?"

"It can't be compared like this."

Ye Wuchen shook his head lightly, "I started practicing martial arts at the age of six, and the first exercise I practiced was high-level exercises. It has been ten years now."

"Oh."

Lu Fan had known for a long time that the other party's family background was unusual, otherwise he would never have reached his current level of cultivation.

Ordinarily, with Ye Wuchen's strength, even in the Royal Forest Army, he is one of the top Dragon Shadow Guards.

But I don't know why I chose to come to Zhennan Army?

Is there something unspeakable?

"I'm here to see you. I have nothing to do. I just want to talk to you."

Ye Wuchen tugged on Lu Fan's sleeve, "Come on, sit down and talk."

"it is good."

The two came under the tree and sat down with their backs against the tree.

"I know that you are training hard now, just for next year's competition."

Ye Wuchen tilted his head and looked at Lu Fan, "I thought you didn't have many chances, but after yesterday, I realized that I still underestimated you."

"Do you know the strength of the other Dragon Shadow Guards?"

Although Lu Fan had heard Su Mu mention it, he wanted to know Ye Wuchen's opinion even more.

Perhaps Ye Wuchen's news would be more accurate.

"Generally understood."

Ye Wuchen pondered for a while, raised his head, and looked into the distance, "You may have heard that, in terms of overall strength, no Dragon Shadow Guard can compare to the two Dragon Shadow Guards in Kyoto."

"But when it comes to individuals, it may not be."

"Among the Dragon Shadow Guards of each frontier army, there are also amazing geniuses."

"It's just that they hide their strength."

After a short pause, Ye Wuchen continued: "On the day of the big martial arts competition, many masters will show up, showing their strength far beyond the usual, just to compete for the highest honor."

"understood."

Lu Fan nodded.

Just like Ye Wuchen, he undoubtedly hid his strength well.

There must be such people in other frontier troops.

Those masters on the bright side, like Yan Qing, may not be the strongest among the Dragon Shadow Guards.

Perhaps those who hide in the dark are Lu Fan's real opponents.

For example, Ye Wuchen.

Lu Fan couldn't see through the opponent's strength, nor could he guess the opponent's true cultivation.

"So, the reason why you children of aristocratic families join the army is for next year's competition?"

"There are reasons for this, but not all of them."

Ye Wuchen smiled and said: "However, the rewards of the martial arts competition are indeed very attractive, and even I will be tempted."

"Can you be specific?"

Lu Fan was very curious.

"It is said that there are ninth-level exercises, or even higher."

Ye Wuchen said: "For us martial arts practitioners, good exercises can not only increase our upper limit, but also save time and increase our cultivation speed."

"higher?"

Lu Fan was a little surprised.

Ninth-order exercises are already very rare.

Ordinary aristocratic families do not have ninth-order exercises passed down.

As for the human-level skills above the ninth level, many big families may not have them.

Further up are the ground steps.

Earth-level exercises are exercises that can only be possessed by super families and super sects.

Then there are the heavenly exercises.

That's even rarer.

In the entire world, there are not many books of heaven-level exercises, which can be regarded as treasures.

It's no wonder that there are so many children from aristocratic families who come to participate in the Dragon Shadow Guard. Just a human-level skill can make people smash their heads.

"Is it more motivated?"

Seeing the expression on Lu Fan's face, Ye Wuchen said with a smile: "Come on, even if you can't get the human-level exercises, it's good to get the ninth-level exercises."

"Yes."

Lu Fan did have motivation and a goal.

He must get the human-level exercises!

"Okay, I won't delay your training."

Ye Wuchen stood up and said, "I'll find a place to squat for a while."

"Ah."

Lu Fan stood up and watched Ye Wuchen leave.

The other party is really free and easy, even the training is casual.

But it happens to be extremely powerful.

In addition to talent, it must have something to do with the cultivation method.

It seems to be lazy, maybe that is also a way of cultivation of the other party.

By the way, do you like it?

What kind of exercise is that?
Lu Fan remembered that Ye Wuchen had mentioned it to him.

It sounds a little unusual, doesn't it?

……

……

noon.

After lunch, Lu Fan returned to the dormitory.

Yang Cheng sat by the bed, as if deliberately waiting for him.

"Lu Fan, the Commander is looking for you, and he specifically told me to tell you when you come back."

Yang Cheng looked at Lu Fan enviously, "Master Commander is so kind to you, I'm afraid you won't have enough to eat, so he didn't let me go find you."

"Food is the most important thing for the people."

Lu Fan smiled.

For him, eating is really important.

No delay.

"Go quickly, don't make Lord Commander wait in a hurry."

Yang Cheng urged.

"Ah."

Lu Fan walked out of the dormitory quickly.

Soon he entered the small courtyard where Li Yongtai lived, came to the small building, and knocked on the door.

"come in."

Li Yongtai's voice sounded.

"Yes."

Lu Fan pushed the door open and entered, only to see Li Yongtai sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, drinking tea leisurely.

"Master Commander, you are looking for me."

"sit down."

Li Yongtai pointed to the seat beside him and poured a cup of tea for Lu Fan.

"Yes."

Lu Fan has been here several times, and he is not as reserved as before.

"Yesterday's battle was well done!"

Li Yongtai seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face, "In addition to your journey, I also arranged another team to go to the branch of the Black Tiger Gang and wipe out all the hundreds of gang members who stayed there."

"After this battle, the whole branch of the Black Tiger Gang was wiped out!"

"Presumably other gangs will also be vigilant and restrain their behavior."

"If there are still ignorant people, I don't mind killing them all!"

Speaking of this, Li Yongtai snorted coldly: "The little gang still wants to dominate my territory? They really don't know how to live or die!"

"Yes!"

Lu Fan agreed, but he was thinking about the meaning of Li Yongtai's words.

He didn't quite understand before, why he had to take the Black Tiger Gang first.

Now he kind of understands.

After all, it's a conflict of interest.

Maybe it was the Black Clothes Gang that blocked the leader's way?

"There is one more thing I want to tell you."

Li Yongtai changed the subject, and the smile returned to his face again, "During the ranking competition last time, I made two bets with Commander-in-Chief, and you were the beneficiary."

"what?"

Lu Fan was very surprised, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Before you had too much training content, I was not in a hurry to fulfill the bet."

Li Yongtai picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Recently, I talked to Song Xiucheng about you, and he said that you have made rapid progress, and you have almost mastered all kinds of martial arts and skills."

"Also, I also saw your performance yesterday, and it was indeed very good."

Speaking of this, Li Yongtai smiled at Lu Fan, "So, it's time to fulfill the bet."

"My lord, how to practice it?"

It was a good thing that Lu Fan heard it.

"You can get two books of sixth-order exercises or martial arts as rewards."

Li Yongtai smiled and said: "I have already greeted the keeper of the pavilion, as long as you take your waist card, you can go to the library at any time to choose the exercises you need."

"Thank you sir!"

Lu Fan knew that Li Yongtai must have contributed to this.

"You don't have to thank me, you won it with your strength."

Li Yongtai paused for a while, raised his head, looked at Lu Fan and said, "Besides, I also hope that you can get a good ranking in the competition next year."

"After all, compared with the other Dragon Shadow Guards, our strength is still inferior."

"You and Ye Wuchen are the two people I value most."

"It is also the most likely to get a good ranking."

"I should give you proper help."

Li Yongtai said: "You don't have to take it too seriously."

"My lord's kindness of supporting and supporting me, I will definitely remember it."

Lu Fan still stood up and thanked him solemnly, "I will definitely not disappoint this kindness, and strive to make more military exploits."

"it is good."

Li Yongtai nodded in satisfaction, "Sit down and drink tea."

"Yes."

……

……

Coming out of Li Yongtai's residence, Lu Fan went straight to Zangshu Pavilion.

The earlier you get the exercises, the earlier you start practicing.

And he has already thought about it, find a book on body training.

Although his current physical body is very strong, after all, he has never practiced body training, so he cannot exert the strength of his physical body.

When he masters the body refining technique, everything will be different.

And it will be very different.

At that time, his strength will be greatly improved.

He has this confidence.

With anticipation in his heart, Lu Fan came to Zangshu Pavilion, took out his waist badge, verified his identity, and explained his purpose of coming.

There are two guards.

Today is an old man, whose age cannot be seen, he is thin and small, and his face is not as big as a palm.

Xiaoshuang's eyes were not very airy, and she was dozing off again and again.

He doesn't look like a martial artist at all, but looks like a sick child.

But Lu Fan knew that this person was definitely not simple.

After all, identity is here.

Those who can become the guardian of the pavilion are definitely not ordinary people.

"Come with me."

The old man led the way unhurriedly, followed by Lu Fan.

The two climbed up the stairs to the fourth floor and came to a row of bookshelves.

"Here are all sixth-level martial arts, you can choose for yourself."

"it is good."

Lu Fan's attention was completely attracted by the martial arts in front of him.

All kinds of swordsmanship, swordsmanship, spearmanship, boxing technique, hidden weapon, body technique, everything that one expects to find.

Relatively speaking, there are fewer body training techniques.

Not only are there fewer skills, but also fewer people who practice them.

The main reason is that it is difficult to practice, and then it is boring.

Anyone with a bit of talent for martial arts rarely learns body training.

After all, it's useless to resist beating.

Moreover, human energy is limited, boxing, saber, body, sword, these are enough to practice.

I don't have so much time to practice body training.

But Lu Fan is different.

He likes the strength of his physical body, and he has enough time to practice various martial arts.

His eyes searched the bookshelves.

The names of various martial arts dazzled him.

Suddenly, a name attracted him.

Six Yushen physical skills?
You can tell from the name that it is a body training exercise.

That's it.

Lu Fan picked up the exercise book, handed it to the old man, and said, "I'll take one first, and I'll pick another one later."

"Okay, come with me."

The old man led Lu Fan downstairs.

According to the usual practice, Lu Fan was allowed to take the exercises away after signing and pressing his fingerprints.

"Remember to come back."

The old man asked.

"it is good."

Lu Fan put the exercises into his arms and hurried back to the dormitory.

The three roommates were all practicing. He quietly went to bed without disturbing them.

He opened the Liuyushen Physical Art and flipped through it from the beginning. He had a general understanding of this body training technique.

The six defenses are the six defenses.

In other words, if he could practice this body training technique to the extreme, it would not only increase his physical strength, but also add six levels of defense to his body.

At that time, even if he wants to get hurt, it will be difficult.

Practice!
Lu Fan put away his exercises and tried to start practicing.

Body training is divided into internal training and external training.

The so-called internal training means practicing by sitting in meditation as it is now.

External training is like martial arts, using external force to practice.

Therefore, Body Refining Technique can be regarded as both a skill and a kind of martial art.

After practicing for a while, Lu Fan opened the attribute panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 16/165
Power: 55.83
Agility: 17.74
Mental Power: 20.19
Physical strength: 17.21
Cultivation: Sixth Grade

Cultivation method: Vientiane town magic power fifth level (315/1000)

Martial Arts: Introduction to Six Royal Gods (0/1)

Assignable Attribute Points: 17.65
The six imperial gods were assigned to the column of martial arts.

It's a good thing for Lu Fan.

After all, martial arts require less experience than martial arts.

The time required to practice to the full level will also be shorter.

continue!

Go to the martial arts arena and practice outside.

Lu Fan got up, left the dormitory, came to the corner of the martial arts field where he often stayed, and began to temper his body according to the exercises.

After practicing all afternoon, he opened the attribute panel and glanced at the column of martial arts.

Getting Started with the Six Royal Gods (0/1)

Experience is still 0.

Lu Fan knew it well, the body training technique was indeed difficult to practice.

If the same time was used to practice other martial arts, he would have already leveled up.

However, difficult practice also has its advantages.

Maybe the effect will be better after upgrading?
Lu Fan guessed this way to motivate himself.

continue!

Try to upgrade as soon as possible to see the effect.

Lu Fan didn't rush to eat, but stayed in the martial arts field and practiced until dark.

He didn't stop until there was no one in the martial arts arena, and left the martial arts arena quickly.

When he came to the kitchen, filled the food, and sat opposite Su Mu, he ate hard.

"I switched to this third-order exercise at noon today. After practicing for a while, the effect is really good."

Su Mu didn't care whether Lu Fan was listening or not, he just talked to himself.

"The grades of the exercises are different, and the gap is too great."

"It's hard to imagine, what would happen if there were high-level exercises?"

"I really envy those children from aristocratic families who have practiced high-level exercises since they were young."

"Why do you think I was not entrusted to be born in an aristocratic family?"

Su Mu scratched his head, "It's a pity to have you."

"Actually, not necessarily."

Lu Fan just swallowed a mouthful of rice, and replied.

"Oh?"

Su Mu was puzzled, "Why?"

"Like Xu Wei, is the condition good enough?"

Lu Fan said: "His mind is obviously useless in cultivation. Although his strength is not bad, if he is willing to work hard, he must not only surpass his current cultivation level."

"And Liu Zhi."

"These two sons of aristocratic families are considered good. Some people don't practice at all, and they only know how to enjoy themselves all day long, and they can't bear a little bit of suffering."

"However, that is also their blessing."

Speaking of this, Lu Fan shook his head lightly, "Fate is good, you don't need to work hard."

"Too."

After thinking about it for a while, Su Mu understood, and said with a smile, "Even so, I would rather be born in a noble family."

"Who said no?"

Lu Fan also laughed, "But you can't catch it."

"You bastard!"

Su Mu punched Lu Fan lightly.

"Haha."

Lu Fan smiled happily.

Sometimes he would think that thanks to having Su Mu by his side, he could talk to him to amuse him and relax his tense nerves.

After all, one piece and one relaxation is the most ideal state.

It can also achieve better training results.

……

……

Had dinner.

Lu Fan returned to the dormitory.

The three roommates were not practicing, but chatting.

"You came back just in time."

Pei Jun smiled and said, "Lu Fan, congratulations."

"It's a great achievement this time."

"Another five thousand combat achievements, you are too powerful."

Yang Cheng and Xu Bin also stepped forward to congratulate.

"Thank you."

Lu Fan smiled and nodded in response.

"By the way, why don't you practice exercises today?"

"Wait for you."

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "I just want to say congratulations to you."

"Yes."

Pei Jun answered, "Yang Cheng also made meritorious service, but Xu Bin and I didn't have the chance to participate in this operation. It's a pity."

"Next time I have a chance, I will definitely try to participate."

Xu Bin smiled at Lu Fan: "You remember to recommend us in front of the captain, and speak good words for us."

"Row."

Lu Fan went to bed, stopped talking, and devoted himself to cultivation.

"Let's practice too."

"Ah."

Yang Cheng and the others followed suit.

……

……

The next afternoon.

Lu Fan practiced until dark before resigning and walked out of the arena.

On the way, he conveniently opened the properties panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 16/172
Power: 56.33
Agility: 17.74
Mental Power: 15.19
Physical strength: 18.21
Cultivation: Sixth Grade

Cultivation method: Vientiane town magic power fifth level (330/1000)

Martial arts: the first level of Liu Yushen physical skills (0/10)

Assignable Attribute Points: 17.89
The body refining technique has finally been upgraded, from entry level to elementary level.

Strength increases by 0.5 and physical strength increases by 1 point.

Compared with the third-order martial arts, the effect has more than doubled.

As expected, it is indeed a sixth-level body training technique, it is really good!
Lu Fan could already predict how great the bonus would be to him after practicing the body training technique to perfection.

Correspondingly, his strength will be greatly improved again.

Had dinner.

Lu Fan and Su Mu were walking on the road, and when they were about to reach the dormitory, they saw Song Xiucheng walking towards them.

"team leader!"

The two came forward to say hello together.

"Ah."

Song Xiucheng nodded, turned around and walked in front, "Lu Fan, follow me."

"Yes."

Lu Fan followed Song Xiucheng, and he could feel the other party's emotions, which seemed to be different from the afternoon?
Is something wrong?

Along the way, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little depressed.

When he came to Song Xiucheng's residence, he stretched out his hand to signal, "Sit down."

"it is good."

Lu Fan waited for Song Xiucheng to sit down first, and then sat opposite him.

"I just came back from Lord Commander."

Song Xiucheng's face was a little dignified, "I got some news, both good and bad."

"Xu Qing has never let go, and will not say anything."

"In addition, there are many people who are interceding for him, not only senior officials in the military camp, but also court officials and gang forces."

"It put a lot of pressure on the leader."

"It is said that the Black Tiger Gang is using their connections to save Xu Qing at all costs."

"It even alarmed the court."

"In a few days, the imperial court may send officials to investigate this matter."

Speaking of this, Song Xiucheng glanced at Lu Fan, "You have to be mentally prepared, someone will definitely ask you when the time comes."

"Yes."

Lu Fan nodded yes.

"But don't worry, with me and Lord Commander here, the situation cannot be reversed."

Song Xiucheng continued: "Even if the court comes, it's just a formality. The Commander has already thought about this and has a way to deal with it."

"My subordinate understands."

Lu Fan wasn't worried at all.

If even this matter can't be handled well, is there still a need for the Dragon Shadow Guard to exist?
"The good news is that the destruction of the Black Tiger Gang's branch has deterred other gangs."

Song Xiucheng went on to say: "Several small gangs have already evacuated Zhennan Pass."

"Oh."

Lu Fan answered, "That's kind of effective."

"It does have some effect, but it's not enough."

Song Xiucheng sighed softly, and said, "Because Xu Qing didn't let go, those forces who waited and watched got their thoughts."

"Instead of leaving Zhennan Pass, the Jinsha Gang and the Bloody Yi Gang took the opportunity to compete for territory."

"It took less than two days to carve up the territory that was originally owned by the Black Tiger Gang."

"It's really hateful!"

Song Xiucheng clenched his fists and said bitterly, "They are too arrogant!"

"I'm really not afraid of death."

Lu Fan was also a little angry, and snorted coldly: "How can the Commander spare them?"

"That's natural, they underestimate the leader too much."

Song Xiucheng answered, "Think that if someone puts pressure on the Commander, the Commander will give up? Absolutely impossible!"

"The leader has already made up his mind to eradicate these scourges."

"Not only the Zhennan Pass, but within hundreds of miles, all areas under the jurisdiction of our Zhennan Army must return the people to safety."

"When there is a war in the future, we can better control this area."

"So, instead of giving up, Lord Commander will take immediate action."

"Show those forces who are waiting to see what will happen if you fight against the Dragon Shadow Guard!"

Speaking of this, Song Xiucheng's expression became serious, and he said in a low voice: "Master Commander has decided to use the Jinsha Gang as a knife."

"it is good!"

Lu Fan strongly agreed.

Although the conflict between him and the Sands Gang has been temporarily suppressed.

But that's just the scruples of both sides.

Hidden dangers always exist.

It might explode in the future.

If there is a chance to wipe out the Sands Gang, Lu Fan absolutely agrees.

"My lord and I both know that there is a dispute between you and the Jinsha Gang, so my lord has an important task for you."

Song Xiucheng said: "It's still up to you to disrupt the situation, to stir up the whole situation, and take the opportunity to eradicate the Jinsha gang."

"Yes."

Lu Fan said loudly: "This subordinate takes orders."

"Before that, I will teach you gambling skills."

Song Xiucheng took out a few dice, put them in his palm, and asked with a smile, "Are you interested?"

"Oh?"

Lu Fan understood what the other party meant, and confirmed, "Start with the casino first?"

"Yes."

Song Xiucheng nodded, "Most of the casinos in the city are run by the Sands Gang, and they earn countless silver every day, which can be regarded as the lifeblood of the Sands Gang."

"If you cut a knife at their lifeline, will it kill them?"

"We're going to start with their biggest casino, and we're sure to catch them off guard."

"And your task is to use your gambling skills to win as much money as possible until they are in a hurry."

Speaking of this, Song Xiucheng asked with a smile: "How is it? Do you have confidence?"

"no problem."

Lu Fan happily agreed.

"Okay, I'll start teaching you gambling skills now."

Song Xiucheng fiddled with the dice in his hand, and said, "Gambling is actually not difficult. You mainly rely on your hands, eyes, and ears. With your current strength, I just need to teach you a little bit, and you can learn it."

"I'll start teaching you with dice."

"The most important test of dice is listening."

"There's something tricky about it."

"Listen to me telling you slowly."

At the same time, due to his improved gambling skills, his mental strength increased by 3 points.

Coupled with the improvement of other skills, his agility has also increased slightly.

"Lu Fan, Su Mu."

Song Xiucheng stood in the distance and waved to the two of them.

"team leader."

The two ran over together.

"follow me."

"Yes."

Song Xiucheng turned and walked in front, with Lu Fan and Su Mu following behind.

When they came to Song Xiucheng's residence, the three of them entered the house and closed the door behind them.

"Here's an outfit for you two."

Song Xiucheng pointed to the chair, on which were two packages and some clothes.

"You two put on first."

"Yes."

Lu Fan and Su Mu didn't ask any further questions, they took off their military uniforms and put on civilian clothes.

"There are a few ingots of silver in the package as gambling money."

Song Xiucheng found a chair and sat down, and said, "In addition, there are your ID plates and a change of clothes."

"There are also some gadgets that can help you disguise."

"This mission may not be a matter of a day or two, and you need to stay outside for a few more days."

"The identities are all forged, and there is nothing to check."

"Remember not to use your real name, especially Lu Fan."

"I will arrange for Ye Wuchen to meet you, and no matter what the news is, he will pass it on."

"You two play by ear when the time comes."

Speaking of this, Song Xiucheng instructed: "You must not reveal your identity, so as not to startle the snake."

"Yes."

The two agreed in unison.

However, Lu Fan still had some doubts in his mind, "Captain, many people saw me on Langui Street during the last mission, will it be all right?"

"I've thought about this question too."

Song Xiucheng pondered for a moment, then said, "It's a small hidden danger."

"But there is really no better candidate, so I can only take a risk."

"After all, apart from you and Ye Wuchen, the strength of the others is a little weaker. If something happens, they can't escape completely."

"And Ye Wuchen is more suitable to be a connector, and the final candidate can only be you."

"But it's not a big problem."

"That day on Langui Street, although many people saw you, but you were far away, and so many days had passed, I had long forgotten what you looked like."

"Besides, people who like to gamble rarely have time to go shopping, let alone watch the excitement."

"As long as you put on a little disguise, no one should recognize you."

"After leaving the barracks, be careful not to let people stare at you."

Song Xiucheng continued: "It's best to go to Qinzhu Street, find an inn and stay first, and then go to the casino."

"clear."

Lu Fan and Su Mu nodded together.

Both of them have learned the art of camouflage, which can change their appearance.

Should be able to hide it from others.

Song Xiucheng gave a few more instructions before waving his hand, "Okay, let's go."

"Yes."

Lu Fan and Su Mu took the package, turned and left.

Taking advantage of the lack of people at noon, the two quickly left the barracks.

Along the way, both of them were extremely careful, making sure that there was no one following them, so they found a place to stop.

Opening the package, the two each took out the nameplates representing their identities.

Lu Fan's alias is Lu Xuan, he is 25 years old, and he comes from a small family.

Su Mu's alias is Su Li. He is 26 years old and comes from a small family.

The two are from the same hometown, both from Nanzhao City. The reason why they came to Zhennanguan together is to see if there is a chance to start a small business.

Of course, both of their identities are fake, if they send people to Nanzhao City to check, they will not be able to find out.

"Following you again."

Su Mu smiled and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have the opportunity to participate in such an important task."

Lu Fan didn't speak, he took out various props from the package and began to disguise himself.

Change the skin color first to make yourself more mature.

Then add some wrinkles, add some beard on the lips, and transform into a man in his 20s.

Su Mu on the other side also changed his appearance instantly.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Even acquaintances would not recognize the two of them at first glance.

Not to mention Xiu Rui, who only met Lu Fan once, it was impossible to recognize him.

"Don't forget the voice, change it a little too."

Lu Fan reminded.

"Yeah. I know."

Su Mu nodded, "Let's go."

"it is good."

The two continued on their way.
