Chapter 431

Seeing that Sun and Ning had already left the camp, Zhang Zhongyi immediately summoned a boy: "Go find General Mu Lan."

Not long after, a female general lifted the door curtain of the camp tent and walked in.

Her face was dignified and heroic, with distinct features, and the sharp jawline showed a firm temperament.

Her eyes were firm and sharp, her nose bridge was high, and her lips were beautifully shaped, at this time slightly pursed, revealing a determination that could not be questioned.

The female general tied her long black hair high into a ponytail, leaving a few strands of broken hair on her forehead, looking heroic.

Her figure was tall and healthy, her muscle lines were tight and symmetrical, showing the results of years of exercise and fighting. Especially her pair of long legs were slender and powerful, and every step was crisp and neat, full of power.

She wore a set of ancient brass armor and draped a bright red cloak.

She wore a pair of black leather gloves on both hands, with metal brass thickened on the palms and fingertips. Her feet also wore a pair of black leather high-tube combat boots, which were both wear-resistant and non-slip. The soles, uppers, and around the calves of the boots all had thick brass armor plates.

"Uncle Zhang, are you looking for me?" General Mu Lan opened her mouth immediately.

Zhang Zhongyi nodded: "Mu Lan, a young hero just came to see a doctor for a friend."

"This person's strength is not bad, his background is deep, especially since he only has Foundation Establishment cultivation but has Golden Core combat power; he can be drawn as a strong reinforcement for you."

Unlike Ning Zhuo displayed the Buddha Doctor·Meng Yaoyin, which was a proper Golden Core-level mechanical puppet.

He also revealed that he could seek out cultivators at the master level of the earth element, which showed that his background was deep and his connections were wide.

Dao injury.

Not an ordinary person, not going to an ordinary place, how could they get such an injury?

General Mu Lan immediately revealed a bitter smile: "Uncle Zhang, it is said that in war, one does not tire of deceit, but you have only heard it; I am a general of an army, but I cannot listen and believe lightly; I have to investigate first to confirm the identity of this Unlike Ning Zhuo and so on."

Zhang Zhongyi was anxious: "Niece Mu Lan, you are serving in the army on behalf of your father, and there are too few people you can use around you."

"The position of General Shang, I don't know how many people in the imperial court are coveting it."

"You are now holding the military seal of General Shang, but you are only at the Golden Core level yourself; you need people to help you. The tasks dispatched by the imperial court are all arranged according to the Nascent Soul level."

"Cypress Forest Xiancheng is the rear; you are stationed here, and you have been squeezed and targeted. That Bai Yu Camp specifically set up camp opposite the Red Flower Camp, deliberately raising the recruitment fee to two times, full of malice."

"Recently, our recruitment effect has been minimal, and the cultivation and scale of the soldiers recruited have been going from bad to worse."

"Young people like Unlike Ning Zhuo can be considered pearls in the sea. If they are discovered by other military camps, they will definitely be snatched."

"After all, he can be considered Golden Core-level combat power."

Mu Lan was silent for a moment, revealing a firm face: "Uncle Zhang, what you said is reasonable. But this is not my style of doing things."

"My fame should be taken by my own hands, with my bow and horse."

"This is my Mu Lan's art of war!"

The female general said with a clang.

Zhang Zhongyi was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "You and your father, your temperaments are simply cut from the same cloth."

"But you have to know, times have changed..."

Zhang Zhongyi was about to persuade her, but Mu Lan interrupted with a bow: "Uncle Zhang, if there is nothing else, I will return to the main tent first; there is still a pile of military affairs to deal with."

After speaking, Mu Lan bowed, turned around directly, and walked out of the medical camp without looking back.

Unlike Ning Zhuo sat on the second floor of the restaurant, and through the window, he could just see the city gate.

The city wall was built of huge blue stones, wide enough for two war chariots to travel side by side. On both sides of the city gate were towering city towers, and on the city towers were placed mechanical crossbow carts, which were guarded by soldiers. At the same time, there were small teams patrolling and entering and exiting from time to time.

The city gate was a huge wooden door, black as ink, with clear traces of annual rings. The blue stone ground in the city gate passage had been polished smooth by countless people stepping on it, and even slightly sunken.

And on the inside of the city gate, on both sides leaning against the city gate, many notices were posted.

Among them, the largest and most conspicuous one was the Recruitment Order.

Thousand Peaks Forest demon evil is rampant, disturbing the hearts of the people. Now organize a large army to sweep away evil and restore the clarity of the earth.

For this reason, specially recruit heroes from all over the world to discuss and eliminate demon evil together and promote the right path.

All those with aspirations can sign up to join the army, and the monarch swears by the national fortune of the Two-Note Kingdom, and will surely reward based on military merit, fair and selfless!

Foundation Establishment cultivators join the army and get the position of captain; Golden Core cultivators are directly conferred the title of Mobile Corps Commander. Other positions are granted according to merit, and those with merit will be conferred wives and children, and glory for generations.

This is a grand event of the right path, sweeping away all evil, and restoring the peace of our country. May talents respond, contribute to the country, achieve great cause, and return a bright universe to heaven and earth.

Below it was the seal of the Two-Note Kingdom's monarch.

Naturally, the most cultivators watched this Recruitment Order.

Unlike Ning Zhuo also watched silently by the window on the second floor.

In his ears came the discussions of the wine guests and diners around him.

"To join the army, naturally, one should choose the one with the highest reward; the Bai Yu Camp of General Shuang Jing is the first choice!" The cultivator who spoke had a pair of small eyes, flashing with shrewd light.

"Humph." A cultivator with thick hair and rabbit ears shook his head: "There are too many noble sons in the Bai Yu Camp. If we really talk about the atmosphere, the Barbarian Demon Camp of General Xu Dali is fairer."

This remark immediately caused rebuttals from others.

"Although the Barbarian Demon Camp has many people, they are all a mob, fighting a smooth battle, and cleaning up the battlefield is still a bit useful. To truly establish a great cause, it must be the Fire Cloud Camp of General Lu Chi."

The bald cultivator shouted loudly: "As long as you have a hand in fire-element spells, after joining the camp, attacking from a distance on the battlefield, killing countless people, not only safe, but also a lot of war merit can be obtained."

"Humph! A bunch of greedy people." A young cultivator with a black mole on the corner of his mouth was indignant, stood up directly, looked around, and shouted.

"To truly join the army, the best choice is the Red Flower Camp!"

"Not to mention anything else, just say that this Red Flower Camp was created by General Mu, and how much sweat and hard work it has established for the kingdom."

"Right now, General Mu is lying on the sickbed, and General Mu Lan is serving in the army on behalf of her father, and she needs heroes of our generation to help with all her strength. Joining the army is to serve the country, not just thinking about what rewards and war merits. Such cultivators, our generation is ashamed to be with them!"

Such words that provoked a fight immediately caused dissatisfaction among the wine guests around.

So, the quarrel broke out immediately.

Several groups of people chose their own military camps and scolded each other. Among them, the shrewd eye, big buckteeth, bald head, and mole youth could be representatives, arguing until their faces were red and their ears were red.

Just at this time, a local cultivator turned out from the city gate, seven feet six inches tall, with four ears, hands past his knees, came to the Recruitment Order next to the inner city gate, looked at it for a long time, and sighed with emotion.

In the crowd, a strong man was dissatisfied: "What are you sighing about? A man should join the army!"

The local cultivator turned his head to look at the person who spoke, and saw that he was eight feet tall, with a short neck, and a full face of black beard like steel needles, with rolling aura, reaching the Golden Core level.

The local cultivator asked: "May I ask the strong man's name?"

"Heh!" The steel-needle bearded man laughed, "My surname is Zhang, name Hei, courtesy name Feisheng. I have moved to Cypress Forest Xiancheng not long ago, and I like to make friends with heroes. Seeing you sighing at the list, I spoke."

The local cultivator sighed: "I am a royal relative of the Blood Slaughter Dynasty, surnamed Liu, ranked sixth, so my name is Liu Er."

"Now seeing that the kingdom wants to launch a punitive expedition against the Thousand Peaks Forest, I have the ambition to break the thieves and bring peace to the people, but I hate that I am alone, so I sigh."

The steel-needle bearded man Zhang Hei laughed loudly: "I have quite a bit of wealth, and my cultivation has reached the Golden Core level; seeing your aura, although covered, you should also be of the same generation. Why don't you and I go together and do a great thing, how about it?"

The local cultivator Liu Er heard this and felt happy, immediately inviting Zhang Hei: "Brother Zhang has good eyes, come, let's talk while eating."

Saying that, he led Zhang Hei into the nearest restaurant to drink.

The two entered the hall, walked up the stairs, and passed the second floor.

The quarrel between the shrewd eye, big buckteeth, bald head, and mole youth also naturally weakened a lot because of the arrival of the two Golden Core cultivators.

Liu Er and Zhang Hei came to the third floor, found a table, and sat down to talk while eating.

During the conversation, a strong man, dusty from travel, flew in directly from the window on the third floor of the restaurant and shouted: "Waiter, pour me some wine. I'm in a hurry to join the army outside the city."

Liu Er saw that this strong man had a Golden Core aura, was nine feet tall, with a beard eight feet long, almost dragging to the soles of his feet, his face shining red, quite majestic, so he opened his mouth to invite: "This strong man, we two are also going to join the army; since we are on the same path, why don't you come and drink first."

The Golden Core strong man saw this, scanned the two of them, and gladly agreed.

After sitting down, he introduced himself: "My surname is Guan, name Hong, courtesy name Maicheng. I like the 'Spring and Autumn Art of War' the most and have studied it a lot. This time, hearing that the Two-Note Kingdom has a large army and wants to start a war, I took the initiative to come and recruit to verify what I have learned in the art of war."

Although the three met for the first time, they became more and more speculative as they talked.

After drinking three rounds, the atmosphere between the three became even hotter.

Unlike Ning Zhuo took out the Bai Yu Wine at this time and took the initiative to walk over: "Three seniors, I am Unlike Ning Zhuo, from the Ning family of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng in the Southern Bean Kingdom."

"Happening to meet this opportunity, I also want to join the army to report the family feud."

"In the past, the Six Cave Sect of the Thousand Peaks Forest once went back on their word, plotted against my clan, and nearly put my entire clan to death. I am small and weak, and I was thinking about which military camp to join. Seeing that the three adults are heroic, they are definitely not ordinary Golden Cores, so I want to attach myself to you, and I hope the three adults will take me in."

Liu Er, Zhang Hei, and Guan Hong looked at each other.

They originally wanted to join a military camp together, but listening to Unlike Ning Zhuo's meaning, it seemed that he was determined that they wanted to stand on their own.

Human Life Hanging by a Thread!

"Eh?" Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart shook quietly. The hanging thread was planted on the heads of Zhang Hei and Guan Hong, but it fell off on Liu Er's head.

Falling again, it shifted away again.

Unlike Ning Zhuo hurriedly withdrew his hand.

Buddha Heart Demon Seal!

He secretly influenced Zhang Hei and Guan Hong.

Guan Hong stroked his beard and pondered: "According to the Recruitment Order, we Golden Cores joining the army will all have the position of Mobile Corps Commander."

"Although Mobile Corps Commander is a miscellaneous general, it is indeed able to command an army."

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled and interjected: "The three generals are heroic and have vast auras. I only saw them once, and I deeply felt that only by commanding an army alone can they be worthy of the ability of the three generals!"

Zhang Hei laughed loudly: "Well said! If we three work together and command an army, we can look after each other and be relatively free, without too many constraints. Often on the battlefield, we can also advance and retreat freely according to our own wishes and gain more war merit."

Liu Er pondered and did not speak.

Unlike Ning Zhuo said: "Three generals, why not talk while drinking. This is the Bai Yu Wine unique to my family."

"Good wine matches heroes; the taste of Bai Yu Wine is icy and refreshing, which is just right for the heroic spirit of the three generals!"

"Please allow the junior to pour wine for the three generals."

Liu Er hesitated, Guan Hong was self-respecting, but Zhang Hei laughed loudly: "Kid, if the wine tastes good, we will take you in!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo poured wine for the three one after another.

Bai Yu Wine is indeed unique, and the three Golden Core cultivators nodded after tasting it.

The three continued to communicate, and Unlike Ning Zhuo stood by, pouring wine for the three from time to time, occasionally interjecting, pushing the already warm atmosphere to a new height.

With Unlike Ning Zhuo's assistance, the three only felt that they were more and more speculative as they drank, and they met too late.

Zhang Hei said: "I have set up a manor in Cypress Forest Xiancheng. Behind the manor, there is a pear garden, and the pear blossoms are blooming very brightly now."

"Why don't we three go to the pear garden, sacrifice to heaven and earth, become sworn brothers from now on, work together, and then we can plan a great cause."

Liu Er and Guan Hong said in unison: "Good!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo clapped his hands: "Such a grand and elegant event, please allow the junior to witness it on the side."

"You kid speak well, so I'll take you along." Zhang Hei nodded, lifted Unlike Ning Zhuo by the collar, and took a big step, flying out of the window.

Guan Hong followed closely, and Liu Er was the last to leave, leaving spirit stones on the table before leaving.

The three came to the pear garden.

Zhang Hei immediately asked the servants to prepare sacrificial rites such as black cattle and white horses, and then burned divine incense.

Seeing the white-clothed youth Unlike Ning Zhuo on the side, Zhang Hei became heroic: "You kid, I have an eye for you. Why don't we worship together today and become brothers."

Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart jumped, his surface revealed joy, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Liu Er cough.

Guan Hong glanced at Unlike Ning Zhuo sideways and said: "A mere Foundation Establishment, how can he be on par with us Golden Cores?"

Zhang Hei saw that the two were unhappy, gave a haha, and waved his hand at Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his surface was very disappointed.

Subsequently, Liu, Guan, and Zhang knelt down together and swore in unison: "Liu Er, Guan Hong, Zhang Hei, although we have different surnames, since we have become brothers, we will work together, save the distressed, help the dangerous; report to the country above, and settle the people below. We do not seek to be born in the same year, same month, same day, only wish to die in the same year, same month, same day. Heaven and earth, witness this heart, betray righteousness and forget kindness, heaven and man will kill together!"

The oath took effect, the three looked at each other and laughed loudly.

Zhang Hei said: "Although we are brothers, we have to distinguish who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother."

Zhang Hei's manor was quite high-end and contained a martial arts field.

The three arranged for Unlike Ning Zhuo to be outside, drilled into the martial arts field themselves, and had a discussion.

A moment later, the three came out of the martial arts field, and the outcome had been determined.

Liu Er was the eldest brother, Guan Hong was the second brother, and Zhang Hei was the third brother.

Liu Er had a difficult face and took the initiative to propose: "Right now, we have to consider recruiting soldiers and buying horses. But I am a loner, and my wealth is thin; why don't we three brothers pool together."

Zhang Hei laughed loudly and pointed around: "I have quite a bit of family wealth; just let me put in the effort. How much can a mere recruitment cost?"

Guan Hong stroked his beard and reported a number.

Zhang Hei's expression suddenly stagnated.

Unlike Ning Zhuo stepped up: "Three generals, I am from the Ning family, and I am willing to give precious materials as a gift."

Saying that, he took out Profound Yellow Mother Stone, Blood Fiend Demonic Stone, and Netherworld Black Soil.

It was precisely the precious materials obtained from the body of the old monster Shi Zhong, each reaching the Nascent Soul level.

"I have quite a bit of family wealth... hmm?" Zhang Hei was about to refuse, but he didn't think Unlike Ning Zhuo, a mere Foundation Establishment, could take out anything good, but seeing this, his eyes bulged.

Guan Hong's stroking beard movement also froze halfway.

And Liu Er was also shocked in his heart, looking at Unlike Ning Zhuo with admiration, and at the same time began to regret in his heart that he should have pulled Unlike Ning Zhuo to worship together just now!
