Chapter 106: Flying Eagle Cavalry (Please Subscribe)

~8 min read 1,492 words

On the main road of Qinghe.

Horses with date-red fur galloped, their four hooves so fast that only shadows could be seen, turning into a sharp sword, passing through the main street of Qinghe.

Tightening the reins.

The horses' front hooves stood up, their nostrils powerfully spraying visible air currents, their muscles surging like water waves against the backdrop of bright red fur.

Cavalrymen wearing silver-white light armor and eagle-head tattoos flipped off their horses.

Flying Eagle Cavalry!

This outfit is too beautiful.

Not to mention anything else, just that silver-white light armor is different from ordinary soldiers' armor; it is forged with special materials and craftsmanship, lightweight and has good defensive properties.

Li Rui still remembers that he spent quite a bit of silver when he first forged his guard armor.

No wonder the young generals in the storybooks are often in silver armor. Just this outfit, which girl wouldn't think of spring after seeing it?

The Flying Eagle Cavalry is the direct line of the Annan Army cavalry.

The elite among the elite, the meat lump in the general's heart, the equipment is far better than other branches.

What is called elite?

In ancient times, as long as one can obey orders, wear armor and helmets, one is already elite. The silver spent every year is an astronomical figure, and the two old men, the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War, have often quarreled before the Emperor for this matter.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work."

County Magistrate Zhang got the news in advance and waited outside the county government early.

These Flying Eagle Cavalrymen are all Eighth-Rank, and the worst one is a Ninth-Rank martial artist.

The leading martial general cupped his fists: "Flying Eagle Cavalry, Squad Leader, Wei Ming, came here under the order of General Cao."

"Squad Leader Wei, please come in."

County Magistrate Zhang led the Flying Eagle Cavalry group into the hall with a smile.

In the Annan Army, the lowest-level officer is a Squad Leader, corresponding to the Ninth or Eighth Rank.

A Squad Leader theoretically has ten soldiers under him.

But the situation of eating empty pay in the Yu Kingdom's army is becoming increasingly serious. Even after several rounds of reforms by the Cabinet Head Secretary Zhang, the results are still mediocre.

They are all generals; it's reasonable to find a few people to run errands, right?

Drawing a few people from a thousand or eight hundred people, it's also reasonable, right?

What?

Want this official to spend his own money to hire people!

This matter is absolutely impossible.

People hired from outside are not as easy and safe to use as their own soldiers.

Reaching the level of Squad Leader, it corresponds to a seventh-rank official, the same as County Magistrate Zhang, and generally manages five small flags, which is fifty people.

The Yu Kingdom was founded on martial arts.

There is no situation of valuing literature over martial arts.

And didn't you hear?

It was under the order of Assistant Regional Commander Cao. Zhang Linkang, a seventh-rank local county magistrate, absolutely cannot afford to offend him.

A seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's door.

The Flying Eagle Cavalry is not an ordinary cavalry, but the general's personal guards.

People who can talk and talk with Assistant Regional Commander Cao, being a head shorter is not shameful.

County Magistrate Zhang accompanied with a bit of flattery: "Squad Leader Wei, coming here this time, is there any important matter from General Cao?"

Wei Ming didn't put on airs, took a sip of tea, and grinned: "Magistrate Zhang, it's all to complete the tasks from above."

Hearing this.

County Magistrate Zhang smiled knowingly.

Working together, the most feared thing is meeting someone who takes a chicken feather as an arrow. Wei Ming opened his mouth like this, and he knew he was a reasonable person.

Unlike those border towns, which face foreign invasion all day long.

The existence of the Annan Army is to deter the Jianghu.

Almost no need to fight to the death, there is not so much hostility, and many times it needs to be smooth enough.

Wei Ming took a sip of tea and said slowly: "However, General Cao ordered me two things."

"The first one..."

He dipped his right index finger in tea and wrote a 'one' on the armrest.

"Naturally, it's supervising the construction of the new city."

Setting up a guard station is a big project. If it were in the prefecture, it would be fine; just build an office. But this time, the matter in Qinghe made too much noise, and even the Emperor knew about it, specially issuing a hand-edict.

So the Anning Guard is set up in Qinghe.

Qinghe is a county, and its status naturally cannot match the Anning Guard.

Therefore, the new city needs to be expanded.

Then build the General's Mansion. Simply put, the Anning Guard doesn't look down on Qinghe at all and wants a big change.

For example.

It's like the Jingcheng and the Jingcheng; the Jingcheng happened to choose its location in the Jingcheng, but the Jingcheng is the Jingcheng, and the two cannot be confused.

Does a Kyoto Prefecture Governor dare to manage those big masters?

"Yes, yes, with Squad Leader Wei supervising together, there will definitely be no mistakes."

Wei Ming laughed when he heard this, not committing himself.

"The second one..."

He added a stroke under the previous one.

"General Cao heard that there are still some remnants of the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao in Qinghe. This matter cannot be delayed; it must be cleaned up before the General comes."

Hearing this.

=9+Book_Bar

County Magistrate Zhang was in a dilemma.

He is just a county magistrate; how many people can he mobilize?

Previously, it was all by relying on interest exchange that he moved the Heaven and Earth Alliance and the Blood Tiger Gang to take action, but wanting to completely clear out the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao... difficult! It's really difficult!

Wei Ming also saw County Magistrate Zhang's embarrassment.

"General Cao sent us here this time, actually mainly for the latter matter; later, I will have to trouble County Magistrate Zhang to send someone to lead the way for us."

"Naturally, naturally."

Seeing someone share the pressure, County Magistrate Zhang was instantly overjoyed.

The Ghost Gui Ming Jiao had indeed been defeated, but that didn't mean they could be killed all at once.

There were quite a few cultists and demon beasts who fled in the chaos that night.

Jiang Linxian is powerful, but he only had eyes for the Ten Thousand Ghost Mother and wouldn't put his mind on catching small fish.

After drinking a cup of tea, Wei Ming said again: "Magistrate Zhang, I heard that there is a seventy-year-old man in Qinghe who obtained a plaque bestowed by the Emperor?"

Speaking of this matter.

County Magistrate Zhang became interested.

This is one of the most important political achievements during his tenure.

"Yes."

"Speaking of which, it is also legendary. The old man is named Li Rui, already seventy, and accidentally obtained a martial arts book. After practicing it, he actually became an Eighth-Rank, and now he is a deputy branch master of the Heaven and Earth Alliance."

"A few days ago, because of his merit in slaying the demon beast, the Emperor specially bestowed the two words 'Righteousness and Bravery'."

Hearing this, Wei Ming raised an eyebrow and was stunned.

Good fellow.

Practicing martial arts at seventy, Eighth-Rank in one year.

This could be written into the top ten legends of the Jianghu.

If what County Magistrate Zhang said is true, then that person is a pearl in the sea.

Similar situations are actually not few.

For example, in the Annan Army, there was a fifty-year-old old cook who obtained a cultivation method by chance, and then his strength greatly increased.

In the final analysis.

It's because they were buried when they were young and had no chance to practice martial arts at all.

But practicing when old, it's impossible to have the level of a child's skill.

"Seventy."

"This is a bit too late."

Wei Ming's mouth twitched.

This is almost at the age of entering the soil.

It's not that there are no old immortals, but that's because they were little immortals when they were young, and they were old immortals when they were old. Relying on just being old is useless.

And starting at seventy, no matter how fast, it can't compare to those geniuses who started practicing at five.

"It's all fate."

Wei Ming shook his head.

"Magistrate Zhang, since only that old man has seen the demon beast recently, please bring me to see him; maybe we can find some clues. Since he is a local worthy of Qinghe, we should see him."

County Magistrate Zhang nodded:

"Reasonable, I will arrange it now."
