My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 684 - 219 Plotting_6
"That broken place?"
Qu Yuanxiang, drinking the Spiritual Wine brought by a Daoist from the Cultivation World, said drunkenly, "What's there to do there?"
"Supervise the army," Guo Fengjie answered.
"What's a supervisor?" Qu Yuanxiang asked, "Is it just taking charge of them?"
"Exactly."
Guo Fengjie explained honestly, "A supervisor is someone who watches over them, and when necessary, can... in short, only Immortal Masters have this ability. His Majesty said that any Immortal Master willing to supervise will be rewarded with five hundred Spirit Stones."
"Hey, that's not a small number."
Qu Yuanxiang belched, "All right, I'll go over and play."
"Brother Qu."
Wang Jun pulled him aside, giving him a look that signaled refusal.
"Five hundred Spirit Stones can buy quite a few Elixir Pills, it would be a waste not to take them!"
Qu Yuanxiang disagreed.
"I'll go with him then,"
Wang Jun said, "I don't want the Spirit Stones."
"Immortal Master speaks too modestly, anyone willing to go will get Spirit Stones."
Guo Fengjie finished arranging, "Tonight, Hongze Camp will depart, so please prepare to leave with Mr. Chen."
"Brother Qu, it's not too late to regret this now."
Wang Jun followed behind, "Can't you see that there's something wrong with the atmosphere?"
"What could possibly be wrong?!"
Qu Yuanxiang, drinking his wine, slurred, "On this trip, after all the killing, that Chen kid ended up pocketing all the good stuff, and I shouldn't earn some Spirit Stones?"
Upon mentioning this.
He became furious. freewebnσvel.cøm
When Chen Sansi first took command, he claimed he would execute military discipline on him to set an example, which was utterly outrageous.
After the conflict was over.
Most of the storage bags also ended up in Chen Sansi's hands.
Qu Yuanxiang only managed to collect a few trinkets from paupers, which was a huge loss.
He almost wished he could find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack, stab the one in the White Robe with a sword, and then take all the storage bags.
Regrettably, when carrying out sect missions, there were just too many rules!
...
At dusk that day.
Chen Sansi led the soldiers of Hongze Camp, leaving Chongming Prefecture one after another.
"Old Zhu, let's go!"
In the prison.
Zhao Kang opened the gate, dragging Zhu Tong, who was wrapped in chains, out.
"Go?"
Zhu Tong looked around, asking, "Where to?"
Zhao Kang and Liu Jinkui exchanged glances, sighing in unison with perfect understanding.
"You..."
Zhu Tong said blankly, "What do you two mean by this?"
"I still have a bottle of good wine here."
Liu Jinkui took out a wine gourd from his waist, "Drink up, we'll be on our way after."
"On our way?"
Zhu Tong's expression suddenly became downtrodden, but he didn't react much, only saying in a deep voice, "I understand."
"Ah, Old Zhu, you are really too impulsive!"
Zhao Kang pounded his shoulder vigorously, saying, "No matter what, Liao Fang was also a Marquis, the imperial decree was already prepared and about to be delivered, but you, a Thousand Captain, killed him, it's impossible to save you!"
"Isn't that the truth."
Liu Jinkui echoed him, "Our lord tried to protect you, but in the end, even his command seal was stripped."
"Blame me!"
Zhu Tong grabbed the wine gourd, downed it in one go, "I alone did the deed and I alone will face it, not implicating our lord!"
Seeing him like this, Zhao Kang couldn't help but tease, "Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Tong furiously smashed his wine gourd on the ground, "Scared my ass! Give me another life, and I would still smash that bastard! You guys just do it here, no more dawdling, better than dying at the hands of someone else."
"What a blockhead."
Liu Jinkui shook his head, "Alright, I was just teasing you."
"Teasing me?"
Zhu Tong asked, "Aren't you going to kill me? Then where are we supposed to go?"
"The war is over, going home."
...
An hour later.
The soldiers of Hongze Camp left Mang Mountain and set out for Liangzhou City.
This battle
Claimed the lives of five thousand soldiers from Hongze Camp.
But later, the elite troops of the supervising army who attacked Wu City expressed willingness to stay, so the full strength of fifteen thousand remained.
These fifteen thousand...
I'm afraid that from the very beginning to now, fully half of the faces have changed.
"Goddamn it, the battle just ended and they're hurrying us off, not even letting us catch our breath, and they're in a rush to take back the command seal—aren't they just casting us aside after we have outlived our usefulness!"
Wang Zhi sat on his Black Wind Horse, cursing, "If they're brave enough, they should not use our Hongze Camp in future battles."
"There won't be a next time."
Chen Sansi said indifferently.
"Not going to be a next time?" Wang Zhi didn't quite understand, "What do you mean?"
"From now on."
Chen Sansi enunciated each word, "No one can command us anymore."
"..."
Realizing the implication, Wang Zhi's expression suddenly turned to anger, "Did the court really do this?"
Upon receiving a silent acknowledgment.
He had to fight back the impulse to turn around and head for the Capital City several times!
"Let's go back to Liangzhou City first," Chen Sansi said, "and then we'll make plans."
"Alright."
Wang Zhi nodded in agreement.
As the two of them discussed,
On the ancient road where the sun was setting, two fast horses appeared.
It was none other than,
Wei Xuan and his wife, the couple who had formed a bond in Daze Fang City.
"Old Wei?"
Chen Sansi reined in his horse, "You're not going back to the workshop, what are you staying here for?"
"We're not going back."
Wei Xuan said with a sense of resignation, "The Blood Covenant mission is complete, the reward has been collected, I'm getting on in years. If I go back to the Cultivation World, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to break through to the above True Power Realm in this lifetime, so I'm planning to stay here to rest for a while. I was thinking of visiting young brother Chen's Liangzhou City, if you don't mind?"
"Of course I don't mind, but..."
Chen Sansi spoke earnestly, "I must speak frankly, the situation is rather troubling at the moment."
"Heh! You, I'm at least someone you've risked your life with on the battlefield. You can't even bear to host me for a couple of days? Could it be that all people from Eastern Continent are so stingy?"
Wei Xuan did not wait for a rejection, riding alongside Chen Sansi with his wife, "Don't worry, we two won't be a drag on you."
Hearing the latter part of the statement, Chen Sansi immediately understood his intention.
Wei Xuan had mentioned that he had also commanded a city, considered a figure of Jianghu but also a leader of the court's troops.
Today, upon relinquishing command,
Two Cultivators were deployed to supervise.
Wei Xuan probably sensed something unusual and wanted to follow, ready to assist if any situation arose.
What a great hero!
There really are righteous individuals in Jianghu.
Wei Xuan continued, "Last time, after you killed Lu Boqin, it was the Law Enforcement Hall taking my belongings; they didn't want to lose face or affect the business of the workshop, so they compensated me with another Jingshen Fruit.
"After reaching Mang Mountain, my wife also received one.
"We both have been Martial Saints for decades, with much accumulated experience. Give us some time, and we too can break through to the True Power Realm."
