Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 83 Celebration Conference, Additional Rewards

There are only a few words on each piece of paper, and there is no sentence at all.

It's hard to even form a word.

"Look at it."

Li Yongtai looked at it for a long time before handing the torn paper to Lu Fan.

"Yes."

Lu Fan took the shreds of paper and flipped through them one by one.

"Go, do, three days, no, mouth."

There are scattered words, and it is impossible to figure out the meaning of them.

"Although these words don't make much sense, it's always useful to keep them."

Li Yongtai said: "I have practiced calligraphy for many years, and I can conclude that the person who wrote this letter has a strong calligraphy attainment."

"His handwriting is extremely atmospheric and full."

"Extraordinary momentum."

"Looking at people with words, his identity and status must be extraordinary."

"If I have another chance to see his writing, I will definitely be able to recognize it."

After a short pause, Li Yongtai continued: "This is also a clue. If other clues are broken, maybe we can use these words to find a breakthrough."

"Yes."

Lu Fan was also reading these words carefully and remembered them in his heart.

Although he doesn't know much about calligraphy, even if he sees a handwriting written by the same person in the future, he may not be able to recognize it.

But he has already engraved these words deeply into his mind, maybe he will gain something when he encounters the same words in the future.

At least there will be a vague impression.

Even if he can't tell the difference, he can go to Li Yongtai and let Li Yongtai tell whether it is the same person's handwriting.

"and also."

Li Yongtai asked: "Since you have fought against that young master, you must have met him, right?"

"Yes, I not only saw him, but also remembered his face."

Lu Fan knew what Li Yongtai wanted to ask.

"it is good."

Li Yongtai nodded, "This is also a clue. If you have a chance in the future, maybe you will attend the gathering of some aristocratic princes, and you may meet him."

"Ah."

Lu Fan knew that this chance was slim, but there was no absolute.

Maybe he might meet that person again in the future.

I just don't know, what kind of occasion was that?
"Okay, I'm done."

Lu Fan handed several pieces of shredded paper to Li Yongtai.

"I'll leave it at my place from now on."

Li Yongtai put away the scraps of paper, and whispered: "Only the two of us know about this, don't tell the third person."

"clear."

Lu Fan sorted it out a little bit, and they still have a lot of clues in their hands.

The most important thing is of course Han Chuang, then the one surnamed Liao, the handwriting, and the young master's face.

Even if Han Chuang's line is broken, the other lines will definitely not be broken.

Therefore, this matter must come to light one day.

It is absolutely impossible to hide the identity of the young master.

"Today, you made another great contribution."

Li Yongtai's face gradually softened, and he turned his gaze to Lu Fan, "I'm afraid it's not enough to show your achievements just by rewarding you for your military exploits."

"So, I want to give you some extra rewards."

"As for what to reward you, I have an idea for the time being, but I can't tell you yet."

"After all, this matter has to be reported to the Commander-in-Chief, and he has to decide in the end."

"Don't tell you first, let you be happy for nothing."

"But don't worry."

"This matter is generally no problem. If there are no accidents, the Commander-in-Chief will definitely agree."

Speaking of this, Li Yongtai patted Lu Fan's shoulder and said with a smile, "Just wait for my good news."

"Yes."

Lu Fan stood up straight and said loudly, "Thank you Commander!"

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that this was Li Yongtai's way to win over him.

The purpose is naturally to gain his allegiance.

But in any case, he did get real benefits.

Before his strength has fully developed, he really needs these benefits.

Therefore, he still has to strive for more military exploits in the future, so as to obtain more exercises.

"Don't thank me."

Li Yongtai smiled and said: "You have won it yourself. It is really unreasonable not to reward you for such a great contribution. Otherwise, who will do things for me in the future?"

"Yes."

Lu Fan could have taken the opportunity to say a few compliments.

But he really can't.

I don't like to do this either, and I resist it from the bottom of my heart.

"Good job!"

Li Yongtai encouraged: "In the future, you will definitely become the pillar of my Great Zhou."

"Don't worry, Commander, I will never slack off."

Lu Fan took the opportunity to express his opinion, "You have important tasks in the future, just leave them to me."

"Will do."

Li Yongtai nodded slightly, "The current Dazhou is full of chaos, and it really needs to be rectified. In the future, we will have many tasks, which are not only important, but also difficult. We need talents like you to help me complete them."

"Yes."

……

……

eight days later.

December 29th.

morning.

Lu Fan woke up from his trance and opened the attribute panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 16/420
Power: 83.31
Agility: 25.57
Mental Power: 28.46
Physical strength: 56.23
Cultivation: fifth grade

Kung Fu: Vientiane town magic power sixth level (2880/5000)

Martial arts: Liu Yushen's body skills are perfect, thousands of hammers and hundreds of exercises are perfect
Assignable Attribute Points: 81.39
During this period of time, Lu Fan's various attributes increased slightly.

Assignable attributes increased by close to 20.

The Vientiane Suppressing Devil Art is also steadily improving.

If there is no accident, in two more months, he will be able to practice the Vientiane Suppressing Demon Art to perfection.

It would have been early March then.

Don't delay the big contest at all.

His cultivation base will be promoted to the fourth rank, and various attributes will definitely increase significantly.

Correspondingly, his real strength will also be greatly improved.

Maybe, it can be comparable to the strength of a second-rank elementary master.

This is not counting the blessings of other exercises or martial arts.

When he got his combat achievements, he wanted to exchange for a book of ninth-level body training.

Before the martial arts competition, Lu Fan could easily perfect the ninth-level body training technique.

At that time, his strength will definitely skyrocket.

Participating in the big contest will be more sure.

The reason why he chose body training instead of other martial arts or exercises was the best choice made by Lu Fan after weighing.

Firstly, the body refining technique had the greatest effect on him.

The second reason is that body training is the same as martial arts, and the time required to practice it to perfection is very short.

Unlike exercises, it takes too much time and consumes too much experience.

If Lu Fan now possesses a ninth-level kung fu and wants to practice it to perfection, a year may not be enough.

Even if all the attribute points are added, it is far from enough.

There was no time to improve his cultivation before the big contest.

It's not as fast and effective as body training.

Of course, in the long run, it is definitely better to practice exercises.

But to see the short-term effect, it still has to be a body training technique.

More importantly, Lu Fan has ambitions.

He wants to win the first place in the comprehensive martial arts competition, and use it to get rewards for human-level exercises.

Therefore, he wanted to skip the ninth-level exercises and practice human-level exercises directly.

complete in one step.

Those attribute points that can be assigned are also prepared for human-level exercises.

Let him save a lot of time and improve his strength at the fastest speed.

"Lu Fan, it's time for breakfast."

Yang Cheng reminded: "Don't forget, today is the celebration meeting."

"it is good."

Lu Fan nodded, got up and got out of bed.

They have returned to the barracks, in their dormitory.

Annihilate the horse thieves and win a big victory!

Except for Han Chuang, all the horse thieves were wiped out.

The eleven bandit leaders have all been put to death.

Han Chuang was also pushed back to the barracks and locked in the prison set up by Long Yingwei.

In addition to annihilating the enemy, there are even greater gains in eliminating the horse thieves this time.

All kinds of gold and silver treasures, food, medicinal materials, cloth, even weapons, horses, fine wine, etc., too much.

There are hundreds of carriages fully loaded.

Let Zhennan Army become rich in one fell swoop.

The Dragon Shadow Guard made even more money.

Such credit should naturally be rewarded.

And a big reward.

When the news came out, all the soldiers who participated in the bandit suppression operation rejoiced.

Just in time for the Chinese New Year, the soldiers were even more excited.

Have a good year.

Today is the day before the Chinese New Year, and it is also the day when the celebration ceremony is held.

morning.

The largest martial arts arena in the barracks.

The stands were almost full.

Except for those who stood guard, those who patrolled the streets, and those who were on duty, all the soldiers of the Southern Army of the Hundred Thousand Towns came.

Almost everyone had a smile on their face.

They are really happy.

Wipe out the horse thieves!

For the surrounding people, eradicated the biggest scourge.

As a member of the Zhennan Army, I also feel that my face is bright.

Excited.

Especially the soldiers whose families are nearby are even more grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

They were all victims of horse thieves, and they hated horse thieves.

Therefore, this action was supported and recognized by the vast majority of people.

After success, naturally very happy.

Lu Fan did not sit in the stands, but sat under the stage with Ye Wuchen and others.

They are all people who will be on stage to accept the award later.

"I heard that you have made great achievements again."

Ye Wuchen was sitting next to Lu Fan, looking at him with a smile on his face, "Congratulations."

"Your credit is not small."

Lu Fan knew that apart from him, it was Ye Wuchen who contributed the most.

Not only did he deliver the news in time, but he also saved Qin Yu. During the general attack, he personally led the team and beheaded the leader of the bandits.

"Haha, let's stop boasting to each other."

Ye Wuchen laughed.

Lu Fan also laughed.

Qin Yu on the other side had no expression on his face. He lowered his head slightly and tried hard to restrain his emotions, but couldn't hide his disappointment.

It seemed out of place with the surrounding joyful atmosphere.

Ever since he learned about the achievements of Ye Wuchen and Lu Fan, he couldn't be happier anymore.

The gap is too big.

Not only because of the credit for exterminating the horse thieves this time, but also because of the strength gap between him and the two.

It's getting bigger and bigger, so big that he can't see hope.

Like Ye Wuchen, who killed a thief leader.

Lu Fan even captured the leader of the bandit, Han Chuang.

You must know that the worst of these two thieves leaders is the fourth-rank elementary cultivation base.

Doesn't that mean that the worst of Lu Fan and Ye Wuchen is the mid-level strength of the fourth rank?
And what about him?
It's only the middle rank of the sixth grade.

There are two big realms missing.

With his strength, if he fights against any of the two, he will lose even without a single move.

This gap made him very disappointed.

It's only been less than a year.

Lu Fan and him were originally evenly matched, but now, they have left him far behind.

It is really difficult for him to accept this gap.

genius?

It's just mediocrity.

Qin Yu has always regarded himself as a genius, but now he is compared with Lu Fan.

He is simply more mediocre than mediocre.

And Lu Fan is undoubtedly a genius among geniuses.

It turns out that there really is such a peerless genius in the world, who can soar into the sky as long as he borrows a little bit of momentum.

Thinking, thinking, Qin Yu couldn't help clenching his fists.

Do not!
He still refuses to accept it!
It is absolutely impossible to just admit defeat like this.

As long as he persists and does not give up, he will definitely have a chance to surpass Lu Fan in the future.

At this time, the audience applauded thunderously.

Zhao Fei, commander of the Zhennan Army, took the lead on the martial arts arena in the center of the martial arts arena.

Behind him are three commanders, Li Yongtai, Wu Feng, and Yu Zaishui.

"Everyone!"

Zhao Fei stood on the competition stage, facing the soldiers in the stands.

"Everyone is called here today for one thing, and that is to celebrate!"

"I'm sure you've all heard of it."

"Not long ago, our Zhennan Army won a big victory."

"Twelve teams of horse thieves, nearly [-] horse thieves, have all been wiped out."

"As for our soldiers, the casualties were very small."

"This is undoubtedly an exciting victory!"

"If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded."

"And there will be a big reward!"

While talking, Zhao Fei turned his head to look at Li Yongtai, "I invite Commander Li."

"it is good."

There was thunderous applause in the stands, accompanied by bursts of applause.

Everyone was excited.

Especially those soldiers who participated in the operation were even more excited.

Zhao Fei stepped aside, Li Yongtai stood where Zhao Fei was just now, and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Taking out a roster, Li Yongtai read aloud: "All the soldiers who participated in the operation to wipe out the horse thieves will each receive 500 military exploits and a reward of one tael of silver."

"Xin Yaoyang, Ren Qianli, Jiang Yunfei... received 1000 combat achievements, three taels of silver, and a book of second-order exercises."

"Su Mu, Song Yu, Yang Cheng, Pei Jun, Xu Bin... won 2000 military exploits, five taels of silver, and a third-order exercise."

"Cao Ning, Meng Ran... get 3000 military exploits, ten taels of silver, and a book of fifth-order exercises."

"Qin Yu received 5000 military exploits, 20 taels of silver, and a book of sixth-order exercises."

"Ye Wuchen received 10000 military exploits, 50 taels of silver, and a copy of the eighth-level exercises."

"Lu Fan received 20000 military exploits, 100 taels of silver, and a copy of the ninth-level exercises."

After reading, Li Yongtai closed the roster and said loudly: "Everyone whose name I read will come to the stage, and the Commander-in-Chief and several commanders will give you rewards in person."

"it is good."

There were cheers and applause from the stands again.

Under the gaze of all the people, everyone stepped onto the martial arts arena.

There are hundreds of people.

Almost all the Dragon Shadow Guards are there, and there are also some outstanding allies.

According to the size of credit, from front to back.

Lu Fan stood at the front, facing the stands squarely.

Behind him is Ye Wuchen, then Qin Yu, Meng Ran, Cao Ning and others.

"You all saw it too."

Zhao Fei came to Lu Fan's side, faced the stands, and said, "We Zhennan Army will be rewarded for meritorious service. The greater the merit, the more rewards we will receive."

"These people on the stage are undoubtedly your role models."

"In the future, as long as you train hard and actively participate in missions, sooner or later you will stand on the stage like them and receive everyone's cheers and attention."

"Not only can I get a real reward, but more importantly, this honor."

Speaking of this, Zhao Fei patted Lu Fan lightly, and said loudly: "Don't you want to be like Lu Fan? Obtained a ninth-level exercise? Twenty thousand combat achievements?"

"miss you!"

All the soldiers responded in unison.

"it is good."

Zhao Fei was very satisfied.

Today he just took this opportunity to inspire.

Let all the soldiers of the Zhennan Army have a sense of urgency and work harder.

As the commander in chief, he is most aware of the importance of morale.

Although the current situation is relatively stable, there is an undercurrent surging in an invisible place.

Once the war comes, Zhennanguan will not be spared.

He had to make complete preparations before he could be invincible in future wars.

……

……

noon.

Dragon Shadow Guard kitchen.

The dishes for lunch today are more than double the usual.

And there is wine.

Not only the Dragon Shadow Guard, but the entire Zhennan Army were celebrating.

The food is much better than usual.

Of course, there is no limit to the food, but the wine is limited.

"Lu Fan, shall we eat together?"

Yang Cheng came over with the food.

"Okay."

Lu Fan smiled and nodded, "Call Pei Jun and Xu Bin."

"Ah."

Yang Cheng went to serve a few more dishes.

Su Mu, Xu Bin, and Pei Jun also came over with food.

Five people sat around a dining table, with more than a dozen dishes, and a jug of wine.

It is also very rich.

Su Mu stood up and poured everyone a bowl of wine.

Putting down the wine jar, he picked up the wine bowl and gestured to Lu Fan.

"Lu Fan, let me toast you a glass of wine first. Congratulations, you have made another great contribution."

While talking, Su Mu brought the wine bowl to his mouth, "I'll do it first as a respect."

"Goooooooooo."

He drank a large bowl of wine in a few sips.

Lu Fan could only drink with him.

"Don't drink too fast, eat some food first."

Yang Cheng persuaded from the side.

"it is good."

The two put down their wine bowls and picked up their chopsticks.

Eat for a while.

Pei Jun also picked up the wine bowl, "Lu Fan, I'm here to respect you. Thanks to being on the same team as you for this mission, I'm also honored and get a point of credit. I'll do it first as a respect."

After speaking, he drank a bowl of wine in one gulp.

Next, Xu Bin and Yang Cheng toasted Lu Fan respectively.

Thanks and congratulations.

In the hearts of several people, Lu Fan is the person they admire the most.

Not only is it strong, but it can also drive them and benefit them.

In less than a year, their strength has improved a lot.

Although it was due to their own efforts, Lu Fan contributed a lot.

For this, they were grateful to Lu Fan from the bottom of their hearts.

Not to mention, there are still these two missions, they not only have the opportunity to participate, but also gained a lot of military exploits.

If they save more, they can exchange for high-level exercises.

"Lu Fan, congratulations."

"I admire you!"

"This time you are a big credit!"

"so amazing."

"I'm really fighting for our Dragon Shadow Guard."

Apart from those at the same table, other people also took turns to toast and say compliments.

Regardless of whether he was convinced or not, at least on the surface, everyone showed affection for Lu Fan.

Including Ye Wuchen and Qin Yu.

They are both Dragon Shadow Guards, they are very clear in their hearts.

With the strength and potential shown by Lu Fan, his future achievements must be extraordinary.

Correspondingly, the status will be extremely high.

Building a good relationship with Lu Fan now is paving the way for their future.

After dinner.

Lu Fan went back to the dormitory, brought the thousands of exercises, and came to the library.

Today's guard is the old man.

Until now, Lu Fan didn't know the other party's name, nor did he know the other party's last name.

"Old man, I'm here to return the exercises, and take a copy of the ninth-level body training technique by the way."

While speaking, Lu Fan handed out the exercises in his hand.

"Ah."

The old man nodded, put away the exercises, took out the record book, wrote that it had been returned, and asked Lu Fan to sign it.

"Come with me."

The two came to the fifth floor of Zangshu Pavilion.

There are far fewer books here.

"There should only be three copies of the ninth-level body training technique."

The old man led Lu Fan to a row of bookshelves and pointed, "They are all there, you can choose."

"it is good."

Following the instructions, Lu Fan quickly found three exercises for body training.

"Divine and Demon Physical Training"

"Nine Turns of the Golden Body"

"Ten Thousand Tribulations"

Just by looking at the name, I really can't tell the good from the bad.

But since they are all ninth-level body training techniques, the effect should be similar.

Even if the effect is different, it doesn't matter.

Lu Fan now has more than 5000 combat achievements, and he is only short of [-] combat achievements in exchange for two ninth-level exercises.

Plus this extra bonus.

He can completely practice three books of ninth-level body training.

Then come one by one.

Lu Fan picked up "God and Demon Body Training Exercise" and handed it to the old man, "Old man, that's all."

"Row."

The old man turned and went downstairs.

Lu Fan followed behind.

The two came to the first floor, and the old man wrote down the name of the exercise in the record book, asked Lu Fan to sign it, and put his fingerprint on it.

Then he handed the exercises to Lu Fan, "Young man, don't be too impatient, haste makes waste."

"clear."

Lu Fan knew that the other party was kind enough to make a point.

In the past few months, he has come several times.

One book of sixth-order exercises and two books of sixth-order body training.

This time it was another ninth-level body training technique.

In just a few months, he has indeed practiced a lot of exercises.

If it were someone else, there might be problems.

But for him, there is no need to have any worries.

The more exercises you practice, the better.

"God and demon body training, one thought is a god, and one thought is a demon."

The old man seemed to have something to say, "This body training technique was created by a martial arts genius in ancient times, but later he fell into the devil's way. It's a pity."

"Oh."

Lu Fan's heart moved, and he asked, "Old man, what's his name?"

"His name is Wei Zhe."

For some reason, the mention of this name made the old man's expression darken.

"What about you?"

Lu Fan asked again, "What's the name?"

"My surname is Wei too."

The old man sighed softly and said, "Just call me Old Wei."

"Oh."

Lu Fan took the exercises, said goodbye and left, "Old man, I'm leaving."

"Go."

Old Wei watched Lu Fan leave with complicated expressions in his eyes.

……

……

Lu Fan returned to the dormitory.

All three roommates are asleep.

They drank a lot of wine at noon, coupled with the exhaustion of the past few days, and the complete relaxation after the war, they just took the opportunity to take a rest.

They can't be like Lu Fan, as if they never know how to get tired.

Lu Fan quietly went to bed, opened the God and Demon Body Training Exercise, and looked through it carefully.

After watching it for a long time, he gained some experience and began to try to cultivate.

With the previous foundation, this time he practiced more easily.

One practice is an afternoon.

In the evening, Lu Fan woke up from his trance and opened the property panel.

The body training skills of gods and demons have been upgraded.

From entry level to primary level, strength increases by 1 point and physical strength increases by 2 points.

At the same time, agility and mental power are also slightly increased.

Lu Fan was overjoyed.

Sure enough, it is worthy of the ninth-level body training technique, and there is such a big bonus just by being promoted to the first level.

It is conceivable what kind of improvement he will have when he has perfected the body training skills of gods and demons in the future.

At that time, his strength will definitely increase significantly.

"Lu Fan."

Su Mu's voice sounded at the door of the dormitory, "It's time to eat."

"Oh."

Lu Fan got out of bed and saw that all his roommates were gone, and he was the only one left in the dormitory.

When he left the dormitory, Su Mu was waiting at the door, smiling at him.

"Let's go."

The two were walking on the road, Su Mu suddenly came over and grinned, "Can I ask you something?"
