Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 9
in the afternoon.

martial arts arena.

Before the training started, Liu Ying called his soldiers together and said, "I just received an order. Starting from April, our battalion will be responsible for patrolling the city."

"We are mainly responsible for Langui Street."

"A total of five days, from the first to the fifth."

"I've already lined up for you."

While talking, Liu Ying shouted suddenly: "Jin Zhao, Xu Qing!"

"To!"

"The two of you are in charge of Day One."

"Yes!"

"Jiang Yunfei, Xin Yaoyang!"

Liu Ying turned her attention to Jiang Yunfei and Xin Yaoyang, "You two are in charge of night one."

"Yes."

……

……

Lu Fan and Su Mu were arranged during the daytime on the [-]nd and [-]th.

In other words, Lu Fan had to delay two training days during the day.

However, it didn't affect him very much.

This afternoon, his marksmanship will be perfect.

Originally, ten days later, that is, the third day of April, his boxing and spear skills would reach perfection.

Now it seems that it will be the fourth day of April, which is one day later.

Moreover, he will no longer be able to upgrade his boxing and marksmanship in the future.

Unless he has new skills and martial arts.

Therefore, as long as this patrol does not delay his eating and sleeping, it will not affect his improvement in strength.

Just relax.

Lu Fan thought about it very much.

"Okay, let's start training."

Liu Ying waved his hand, and everyone dispersed.

"Boom boom boom!"

Drums sounded.

Shouts followed.

The soldiers picked up their weapons and began to drill.

After a while, Lu Fan felt the changes in his body and was overjoyed.

Marksmanship has been upgraded.

continue!

The gun in Lu Fan's hand didn't stop, and as his wrist shook slightly, blossoming gun flowers floated out.

He practiced until the evening before he stopped.

At this time, the martial arts arena was empty.

……

……

night.

in the dormitory.

Lu Fan went to bed early, and when he was about to sleep, Su Mu next to him called to stop him.

"Wait a minute, don't rush to sleep, let me tell you something."

"Oh?"

Lu Fan paused and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Aren't you going to patrol Langui Street in a few days?"

Su Mu looked a little dignified, "We just happen to be in a group, and I want to tell you something in advance."

"You say it."

Lu Fan nodded.

"Langui Street is the busiest street in the city."

Su Mu said: "All kinds of forces are mixed together, and there are disputes, fights and other things happening almost every day."

"When you encounter something, you have to follow my wink and act, and remember not to stand out without authorization."

"Even if you are in the early stage, you must focus on persuasion, and you must not do anything."

Speaking of this, Su Mu sighed softly, "Otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause disaster."

"Oh?"

Lu Fan was a little puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"Although this border town is not big, there are quite a few underground forces stationed here. They are all vicious people. It is best not to provoke them."

Su Mu said: "For example, the Black Tiger Gang, the Bloody Clothes Gang, the Sands Gang, etc., which one is not notorious?"

"But powerful."

After a short pause, Su Mu continued: "Don't talk about us, even if you are very talented, you don't want to provoke them."

"Really? Our majestic Zhennan Army, with [-] soldiers, will be afraid of these underground gangs?"

After all, Lu Fan had just crossed over, so he didn't know much about the situation in this border town, and his predecessor was too honest, he had hardly been out of the military camp, and rarely paid attention to things outside the military camp.

But Su Mu is different. This person is good at communication, well-informed, and knows a lot.

"We are not afraid, but our family is afraid."

Su Mu sighed: "Don't underestimate these underground gangs. Their influence spreads all over the world. As long as you provoke them, even if they can't do anything to you temporarily, they will find your family members to threaten you or take revenge on you."

"Who doesn't have a family yet?"

While talking, Su Mu glanced at Lu Fan, "It's better than us, and we have to consider the safety of our family members, let alone us?"

"Yes."

Lu Fan understood this time.

But he wasn't afraid of that.

He is alone and has no relatives, so naturally he is not afraid of being threatened by others.

"What's more, these gangs have contacts with many high-level members of our Zhennan Army, and some of them have even good relations."

"And some high-ranking officials are directly the backstage of the gang, the umbrella."

Su Mu went on to say: "Once we have a conflict with the members of the gang, maybe we will be the ones who will be punished."

"Even if we are not punished, it will affect our promotion in the barracks. The gain outweighs the loss."

"What's more, even if I don't consider what I said above, just relying on the strength of these gangs, it's not something we two little soldiers can afford."

Su Mu said: "So, you must remember to act cautiously, and you must not be impulsive, let alone act casually."

"The headquarters of those gangs are not here, are they?"

Lu Fan wanted to know more, and asked, "How strong are they in Zhennan Pass?"

"As far as I know, many gangs have branch forums in the city."

Su Mu thought for a while, and said, "The worst strength of an altar master is rank five, and some can even reach rank four."

"The most important thing is that they have too many subordinates, and their strength is not bad."

"Those bosses, big and small, are mostly sixth-rank and seventh-rank cultivation bases."

"Elite disciples are mainly eighth-rank and ninth-rank."

"Even the most ordinary gang members have at least practiced, and they have a bit of brute force."

Su Mu sighed softly and frowned slightly, "So, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Even if you see some things, don't worry about them, or you will cause trouble."

"Oh."

After learning about the strength of these guilds, Lu Fan reckoned that his own strength was about the same as the elite disciples of the guilds.

Maybe even a little less.

Now he really can't be provoked.

However, he still had doubts in his mind, "Zhennan Pass is so remote, how could so many forces come here? Is there any special reason?"

"Of course it's for profit."

Su Mu explained: "First of all, there are too many vendors passing by, and there are also many people who come to Zhennanguan to do business. These gangs always have a way to get benefits from the vendors."

"There is also food and clothing for 10 people in our Zhennan Army. The monthly expenditure is an astonishing figure."

"If you can establish a relationship with Zhennan Army, the benefits of this, you should understand without me telling you."

After a short pause, Su Mu continued: "In addition, there are 10,000+ people in the city. Although there are poor people, there are also many rich households. The members of the gang will try their best to extract benefits from the people, even if they are poor, they will not let them go."

"understood."

Lu Fan already understood in his heart that in this world, the weak and the strong prey on the strong, and the common people are already alive, but they still have to be oppressed by various forces.

Even if they are squeezed dry, those forces still won't let go.

Let those poor people never have a chance to stand up!

This cannibalistic world!
Thinking of this, Lu Fan asked the most critical question, "Since that's the case, why should we patrol? What's the point?"
