Chapter 160 Zhao Xiang's Explanation

After Zhao Xiang finished speaking, he let go of Xia Zhanhong's shoulders, took a step back, reached into his arms, took out a neatly folded piece of paper from it, lifted it up and shook it, and his face became even more smug.

"Oh! The contestant's information!" Xia Zhanhong's eyes suddenly lit up. If he could know the strength of his opponent in advance, he would have more confidence in the competition!It can be said that the news Zhao Xiang got today is really useful.

"Brother Zhao, I really trouble you, tell me how you want me to thank you!" Xia Zhanhong looked at Zhao Xiang and smiled.

"I'm just kidding you!" Zhao Xiang laughed, stepped forward, and handed the piece of paper to Xia Zhanhong: "We are brothers, I should help you!"

Xia Zhanhong reached out to take the piece of paper, raised his hand and patted Zhao Xiang's shoulder, nodded to him and said, "You are right, we are brothers... let's go, let's go into the room and talk!"

The two entered the hall, and after they were seated, Zhao Xiang's smile gradually subsided, and his expression became serious. Seeing that Xia Zhanhong opened the paper to read, he explained to the side: "Brother, this time the number of commanding positions has increased by eight. It seems that the chances are great, but in fact it is not. Up to now, the number of participants has reached nearly a thousand... There are 36 people who have the strength to compete for these [-] places, all of whom have completed their cultivation in the martial arts school. It's all written down on paper..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xiang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then continued: "Among these people, the strongest one may have opened 24 meridians, and he is only one step away from being a general... …For example, Zhou Yong, the boss of the Zhou family’s collateral line, Zheng Gong, the second elder brother of the Zheng family’s third son, Qian Ning, Qian Fu’s cousin…there are also a few descendants of the family from the nine major provinces, who should not be underestimated either!”

Xia Zhanhong nodded while looking at it. After a while, he folded the piece of paper, put it in his arms, raised his head and asked Zhao Xiang: "Brother Zhao, although these people are powerful, they are not enough for 12 people. I got a quota, should I Still sure!"

Zhao Xiang looked at Xia Zhanhong, shook his head slightly, his eyes showed a look of thought, and explained softly, "In the entire Celestial Dynasty, under Generalissimo Ji Huanyu, there are four Heavenly Generals who are in charge of the Imperial Guard, Dark Guard, Shadow Guard, and Heavenly General. The Fourth Army of the Guard. Nine generals are held concurrently by the palms of the nine provinces, followed by 120 commanders and [-] eight commanders..."

Zhao Xiang paused for a moment, took a breath, and continued: "The task of the sixteen commanders is to assist the generals and the generals of heaven to govern the army. In addition to the 13 people from the nine provinces and the four armies, there are two other people who are in charge of the capital. City defense and city guards are under the jurisdiction of Lord Ji Chen! The last person is directly managed by the marshal, who is in charge of logistics, ordnance, scheduling, etc..."

"Each commander has eight commanders under his jurisdiction. In the provinces, the commander's task is to cooperate with the county guards to manage the army. The real power is not great. But it is different in the capital city. Whether it is the city guard or the city defense, Or the Fourth Army and the military headquarters, the commanders all have great power..."

Having said that, Zhao Xiang stopped, looked at Xia Zhanhong, and said seriously: "Brother, do you understand what I mean by saying this?"

Xia Zhanhong looked at Zhao Xiang's serious expression, nodded with a smile, and said, "Brother Zhao means that I'm afraid it's not enough to just take up the quota, and I'm likely to be assigned to a certain county! "

"That's right!" Zhao Xiang raised his eyebrows and said, "In the past, only those who won the first place in the competition were eligible to choose their own place... This year there are more places, I wonder if the requirements will be relaxed!"

Xia Zhanhong shook his head and said: "There is no need to worry about this. Master Ji Chen has already registered my name in the Ordnance Bureau. As long as he can get the commanding position, he will take care of everything later!"

"Oh!" Zhao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "I also said, if I send you to that remote place, it will be troublesome!"

"Don't worry! No!" Xia Zhanhong responded, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Brother Zhao, do you have any news, why did you choose so many commanders this time?"

Zhao Xiang pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There have been no major wars in the dynasty for hundreds of years, and senior generals have rarely fallen or retired from injury. If it weren't for the tradition of ten-year competitions, there would be no need to change them." Commander...it's really strange to change so many this time!"

"Forget it, go back and ask Mr. Ji Chen, he should know about this matter... It is very possible that the massive consumption of the Ten Liannu is related to this!" Xia Zhanhong thought in his heart, and asked casually: "Zhao Brother, how do you generally arrange for the commanders who were replaced in previous years?"

Zhao Xiang said with a smile: "As long as you don't commit any major incidents, those who are replaced normally will be assigned a job, the title of commander will remain unchanged, and the dynasty will provide the same amount of finance and resources on time... Unless it is a breakthrough in cultivation, when it arrives If the military commander is high-level or above, he will definitely be appointed elsewhere!"

The two talked and talked, and gradually changed the topic, until it was dark, Zhao Xiang got up and left.

While the lights in the Xia family courtyard were extinguished, the Wang family mansion in the capital was brightly lit.

In the living room, Wang Yuxin was in the main seat, groaning silently.At the bottom, Wang Bin and Hou Baiyi were sitting opposite each other, looking extremely serious.

After a while, Wang Yuxin looked at Wang Bin and asked calmly, "Are you sure about this news?"

Wang Bin stood up, bowed slightly and said, "This is what Zheng Laosan told me personally, there is absolutely no mistake! The selection of the commander this time has indeed changed!"

Wang Yuxin glanced at him, and said quietly: "Three months ago, Xia Zhanhong left the city secretly again, but you didn't notice it. You missed a great opportunity for nothing... You go tomorrow and make sure of this matter!"

Wang Bin's face froze, and then he lowered his head. When this matter was mentioned, he felt extremely depressed. He never expected that Xia Zhanhong had not been back from the outside for a long time, and he had just been selected as a middle-level agent, and he would leave the city immediately. go.

After pondering for a while, Wang Bin replied softly: "Yes! Dad! I will go to see Zheng Laosan again tomorrow!"

At this time, Hou Baiyi said: "Uncle Wang, brother Wang Bin is not to blame for this matter, who would have thought that the boy would be so courageous...Since I missed it, it is useless to think about it now, let's study the next one." Let's plan!"

Wang Yuxin nodded slightly, looked at Hou Baiyi and said, "I have transferred back three of my family's children from outside, all of whom have perfect cultivation in the martial arts school. Among them, Wang Bin's cousin, Wang Heng, has opened 24 meridians..."

Hou Baiyi frowned as he listened, thinking, and waited until Wang Yuxin's voice fell, Hou Baiyi said: "Uncle Wang, if according to our previous inference, Uncle Feng didn't come back after chasing and killing that kid... I'm afraid the martial arts school will It is very difficult for Consummation to deal with him!"

Wang Yuxin frowned, and said softly: "Wang Feng didn't come back, he probably died under the trap of the treasure! In addition, this kid's skill in refining weapons is so high, I'm afraid he also refined the rainstorm pear blossom... Commander selection , don’t harm your life, even if he has a mechanism, he can’t use it..."

"Uncle Wang, I think we should be more careful about this matter, we can't underestimate this kid anymore!" Hou Baiyi said with a gloomy look.

Wang Yuxin looked at Hou Baiyi thoughtfully, and said after a long while: "The selection of the commander requires the cultivation of the martial arts school. At best, we can only find the martial arts school to be perfect... don't you mean..."

The corners of Hou Baiyi's mouth curled up, and he smiled: "Wang Bin's information from Zheng Laosan is probably true! Although the cultivation level stipulated in the selection is a martial arts school, if this competition really takes a month, then what is the truth?" It is not impossible to make a breakthrough these days... A month ago, I sent a message to my junior brother with the letter bird, and there should be a reply tomorrow at the latest..."

At this point, Hou Baiyi and Wang Yuxin showed a sinister smile on their faces at the same time.

Wang Bin raised his head, looked at the two of them, and asked softly, "Father! Brother Hou! If Xia Zhanhong fails the first test, isn't our plan..."

Wang Yuxin was obviously in a very good mood at this time, and burst into laughter when he heard this: "Ji Chen values ​​Xia Zhanhong so much, how could it be possible for him to fail the first test!"

At this time, Wang Bin's complexion finally returned to normal, and he said with a smile: "I will go to Zheng Laosan again tomorrow, and I will add fire to them. The Xia family opened a shop to sell Tiaoyuan Dan, and the Zheng family brothers have long been dissatisfied with him." , it’s just because there are people stationed in the Qizhenyibao Pavilion, they didn’t go looking for trouble..."

A few people were talking, when a black figure suddenly appeared outside the hall door, knelt on one knee and said, "I have a letter from the young master!"

Wang Yuxin and Hou Baiyi looked at each other and smiled, then said to the black-clothed man outside: "Present it!"

The man in black got up and entered the hall, then handed a letter to Wang Yuxin, then turned and left quickly.

Wang Yuxin opened the letter and read it carefully. After a while, he laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! Tianling has succeeded, and all the warriors involved have been killed. They will be able to return from Endless Sand Sea in four months... ...."

As he said that, Wang Yuxin looked up at Hou Baiyi and said, "Tianling said, your suggestion is good. He has already written a book for Ziyangzong, and it is estimated that he will send a piece of white jade peony in the next two days!"

Wang Bin's eyes were shining brightly from below, and he murmured, "Wang Heng is lucky..."

After hearing this, Hou Baiyi stood up and said with a slight smile, "In this way, we are absolutely sure about this matter... At that time, if we let Mo Yun take action again, Mo Zixuan will definitely not be able to keep Xia Zhanhong's status as an intermediate agent!"

Wang Yuxin also laughed and stood up: "Not only Mo Zixuan, but without the ability to refine alchemy, I'm afraid Ji Chen and the Zhao family will abandon him, if that's the case..."

Amidst the laughter of several people, the lights in the Wang family compound gradually went out!

The night passed quickly, and the next day, it was already the first day of the commander's selection.In the early morning, Xia Zhanhong was in the courtyard, slowly punching.Suddenly, the servant hurried over and said that Ji Chen had come to visit and was already waiting in the front hall.

In the living room, as soon as the two met, before Xia Zhanhong came to greet him, Ji Chen grabbed his arm, pulled him and walked out, saying at the same time: "Xia Xiaoyou, come with me! If you don't hurry up, you commander selection It's just ruined!"
