The day before yesterday he went to the Ten Thousand Laws Palace and met the last person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, when sleeping, he dreamed of many scenes from his previous life, including the scene where Liu Tianning cut him.

If the location is not through Xier Commandery, I won't go with you.\" Chen Shijie said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still has to return to Xier Commandery, the Divine Might Army is currently gathering there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the Canglan River, there are military towns stationed. The bridgehead of the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Prefecture is like a needle inserted across the Canglan River. But the Great Zhou’s border line south of Pinghai Province is very long, and the war has not officially started yet, so all the garrison troops, except for the standing combat-ready troops in the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Prefecture, are mostly waiting for orders north of the Canglan River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing opened the box sent by Gao Ming and took out the new Earth Mirror to check. Sure enough, the first ring task had already been issued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after seeing the first ring task, Zhao Xing’s face changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" Chen Shijie asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first ring task, the location is in Xier Commandery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't that just right? Old Chen can go back with us on the way.\" Long Xiao said indifferently, until he found that Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie’s faces were not right, and then he reacted. \"Your first ring task, wouldn't it be related to the Divine Might Army?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing didn't make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie’s face became uglier: \"So serious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serious enough that both of them have to avoid suspicion and can't know the task content?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xiao also opened his mouth wide: \"You, your first task wouldn't be an inspection task, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't ask.\" Chen Shijie said in a deep voice, \"Hand over your Earth Mirror.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh oh, okay.\" Long Xiao took out his Earth Mirror from his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Chen Shijie also took out his own and handed them to Zhao Xing together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attitude is very clear, meaning we support you, just do what you should do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing thought for a while and said: \"You keep it, I trust you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not a question of trust.\" Chen Shijie said firmly, \"The evaluation of the Soldier Realm starts from the moment you leave the Cave Heaven. There are gods three feet above your head. Every move you make will be seen. Keep it. Return it to us when you arrive at the Xier Commandery Inspection Division.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\" Zhao Xing took Chen Shijie and Long Xiao’s Earth Mirrors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Arrow Fish Flying Boat traveled through the air, Chen Shijie drove the flying boat outside, Long Xiao entered the cabin, and Zhao Xing took the mountain cat into another room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Zhao Xing’s first location was Xier Commandery, and it was an inspection task, the atmosphere became a bit heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the three of them didn't communicate again on this journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After flying for most of the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a certain moment, Zhao Xing suddenly looked outside the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water power between heaven and earth became rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The destination is almost here.\" Zhao Xing sat up straight. Xier Commandery is near the river, and the water power is several times richer than outside the Ten Suns Cave Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the heavenly time, feeling the earthly benefit, the water veins in the earth veins also became prosperous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out his Earth Mirror, Zhao Xing read the task again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【First ring military affairs: Inspect the Divine Might Army】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Location: Xier Commandery】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Soldier Realm Intelligence: Xier Commandery is a border town, however, it has been peaceful for too long and is poorly managed.

Formerly served as the Jitian Order of Tao County, Xier Commandery for five years, returned after the reorganization of the Divine Might Army. Crimes committed: Adultery with fourteen people, forced five people to death. After the Boping Marquis was reinstated and transferred, in order to cover up the crimes, he killed all the families of the fourteen victims.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Qi Shan: Current Zhonglei Captain of the Divine Might Army, From Seventh Rank Upper, formerly served as the Pinghuai Order of Fubu County, Xier Commandery for three years, set up illegal checkpoints, and received a total of 3.42 million taels of bribes from foreign chambers of commerce.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Fan Geng: Current Nine-Section Commander of the Divine Might Army, Proper Eighth Rank Upper, formerly served as the Great Granary Agricultural Official Assistant of Heyuan Commandery, abused power for personal gain, occupied three mountains and two lakes, manor fields, totaling 14,800 mu.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【He Cheng: Current Nine-Section Commander of the Divine Might Army, Proper Eighth Rank Lower...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Chang Sihai...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The list is very long, Zhao Xing read it quickly and then closed his eyes to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Boping Marquis lost his position as the main general of the Divine Might Army for five years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also returned to his fief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During these five years, the Divine Might Army existed in name only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the soldiers without the main general were dismissed and sent to various places as officials. Old Chen came to Gu City, Nanyang Commandery for five years, which is the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One year ago, which was the time Zhao Xing came for training, the Boping Marquis Yang An was reinstated to his original position and was re-appointed as the main general of the Divine Might Army. This is a Fourth-Rank military general. Regardless of Yang An’s original strength, as long as he is the main general of the Divine Might Army, he must be in the Fourth Rank realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the war to pacify the Barbarians starts, it is estimated that he can temporarily possess the combat power of the Proper Fourth Rank. This is the characteristic of the Fortune Dynasty system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of your own strength, sitting in this official position, the strength and official level must be matched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Might Army was reorganized, and many soldiers who were originally dismissed and sent to various places returned to Xier Commandery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there are also those who are unwilling, don't want to fight anymore, so they need reserves to replenish the troops, so there is the selection and transfer matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five years is enough for a brave and good-fighting soldier to rot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the reorganization, the Boping Marquis Yang An did nothing, just reorganized military affairs in Xier Commandery, re-trained, and let these old foundations restore combat effectiveness and fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yang An is not a god. Even in this year, he screened out many people and conducted a self-inspection of the Divine Might Army, but some people still hid well and covered up those illegal activities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, 'Hong Tai' at the top of the list, he still stayed in Xier Commandery after the main general of the Divine Might Army was removed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the border town, it is a first-military system, everything is prioritized by military affairs, so his power is still very large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning that the Boping Marquis Yang An had returned, he immediately dealt with his illegal activities and became a Changshui Captain (a type of military agricultural official position).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is easy to investigate others, but difficult to investigate yourself. Self-inspection is very difficult to clean up thoroughly.\" Zhao Xing secretly said, \"It is even possible to take care of old feelings, and let them make up for their crimes by meritorious service if they know it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The border army system of the Great Zhou gave the main general of the military town great power, and the King and Marquis who were enfeoffed were also the same. The handling power of the crimes of the vassals of the King and Marquis was also handed over to the respective King and Marquis to decide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yang An discovered illegalities, as long as he was willing, as long as it was not a heinous crime, he had the power to let his subordinates go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the various great thousand-year clans had all received iron certificates of immunity during the era of the Founding Emperor, which was also a form of privilege.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Wen was in power, tolerant of the people and officials, and did not move the knife on these types of systems. But Emperor Jing was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He squeezed the aristocratic families, took the lead in internal involution, and recovered a large number of the family's death-exemption iron certificates for various reasons. This was the main direction of his reform for more than two hundred years in Dingxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Jingxin period, it was the reform of the border army. As for the enfeoffed King and Marquis? This is the foundation of the founding of the country, and he did not dare to take such a big step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During the Jingxin period, the number of reserves recruited by the Soldier Realm increased greatly, and this type of inspection task also surged. If I receive this type of task, if I want to get a high evaluation, I must comply with the imperial court’s major strategy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The best way is to cut all these people without mercy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only in this way can it meet Emperor Jing’s expectations. The 'fresh blood' he wants to replenish the army is this kind of person who dares to face the powerful and is selfless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doing this, I will definitely get a Grade A evaluation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing rubbed his eyebrows, thought from the perspective of the task formulator, and soon reached the 'best answer'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, this is the best answer the imperial court hopes for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I really do it so absolutely, it will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction among the soldiers of the Divine Might Army, and even dissatisfaction from the Boping Marquis. People’s hearts are like this. If you don't touch your own interests, you want to kill my brother, then naturally everyone will plead for mercy, and things will hurt their kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you kill half and let half go, doing this, the imperial court should be able to give a B, indicating that I have the courage to do things but not thoroughly enough. But doing this, I might as well kill them all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you reduce the death penalty to a heavy penalty, and deal with the heavy penalty lightly, based on my previous performance, I should also be able to get a C, which is qualified.\" Zhao Xing pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't consider the possibility of being unqualified at all, because even if he did nothing, just told the situation to the Boping Marquis, and then submitted it, and he didn't care about anything, he could still get a C-minus, which was the solid foundation laid by the first half of the training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inspection task does not involve the personal ability of the military agricultural official, and it does not even involve morality, because from the three systems above, Zhao Xing is allowed to let people go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This task only tests his heart, to see if his heart, this genius, is on the same path as the imperial court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you get three consecutive C-minuses, even if you were a Grade A genius before, doing three-link tasks is the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, you can be an Eighth Rank military agricultural official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coming up to cut captains and commanders, is the first ring task so exciting?\" Zhao Xing muttered to himself and looked out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Arrow Fish Flying Boat began to slow down and fly down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xier Commandery, arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm convinced, the weather is unpredictable, it was short sleeves and shorts yesterday, and today I'm wrapped in a single garment and still cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm afraid it's a 'climate change', and I've been having diarrhea since the afternoon, and prickly heat on my face.
