The Emperor is Above

Chapter 115 We have indeed been promoted to the ninth level!

"So you already knew everything, brother!"

When the topic of promotion to corporal was brought up, Master Tu's round face was so full of smiles that his eyes were almost invisible, narrowed into a thin slit.
"I am very grateful to you, my brother. If I hadn't helped you make that set of spring farming tools, I would never have been promoted to the rank of corporal in my lifetime. Now I have brought honor to my father and grandfather.

Our burial mound is ten miles northeast of Xiema Pavilion. It is named Tuqiu after my brother's surname. I have been busy building the burial mound house for some time. I just finished it and rushed to Guqiu to see you."

Brother, you are going to deal with pigs for the rest of your life. Qing Yi really wanted to complain, but seeing that Tu Shi Gu was talking happily, he didn't have the heart to interrupt him.

"My lord, my lord, is anyone injured?"

At this time, Gongsun Wu, along with Dongmen Hu, Dongmen Bao and dozens of private soldiers and militiamen, hurriedly caught up, and some of them were carrying simple stretchers.

"It was just a false alarm. No one was injured, but there were a few dead pigs." Qing Yi answered with a smile, pointing at the six-tusked boars he had just shot.

Everyone present was an old acquaintance, so there was no need to observe too much etiquette. Gongsun Wu was never one to joke, so he nodded, smiled, bowed, and congratulated Tuan Shigu, without saying anything else.

Dongmenhu didn't care about that, he grinned and said loudly: "Just now on the sentry tower, I was wondering if there is such a fast fat man in the world. I didn't expect it to be Corporal Tushi Gu. I heard that you are now a corporal and have been conferred a title. We brothers are here to congratulate you."

"Thank you, brother Dongmen. We are in a desperate situation!"

Facing the teasing of his acquaintance, Tu Shigu was not angry at all, and still said with a smile on his face, "Besides, those six-tusked pigs are much fatter than me, and each one weighs at least 500 to 600 kilograms, so it is understandable that they can't catch up with me!"

"Hahaha--"

It was still the familiar Tushigu, still the source of joy, and everyone couldn't help but burst into cheerful laughter.

The stretchers brought by the militia were not wasted. They were used to carry a few six-tusked boars back to the lonely hill as dinner to welcome Tun Shigu today.

Qing Yi led Tu Shigu and walked in front of the team.

As good brothers with a very close relationship, when we meet again after being separated for two months, we can’t help but introduce our newly built solitary mound to each other.

Looking at the solitary hill a mile away, there are neat houses and towering retaining walls shaded by huge trees, as well as tens of thousands of acres of farmland with thriving corn seedlings and crisscrossing ditches.

Tu Shigu couldn't help but widen his eyes, gave a thumbs up and praised: "My goodness, I really admire you, brother. It's only been two months since you migrated from Huaiqiu, and you have not only cultivated tens of thousands of acres of farmland, but also built such a good village and house."

"I admire you, Brother Shigu. From your Fengtu Pig Hill to my Fengtu Solitary Hill, this fifty-mile journey requires at least forty miles of wilderness.

Not to mention the hordes of giant beasts along the way, the swamps alone are difficult to cross, and there are dangers everywhere. How dare you come here so brazenly with four followers whose strength is less than that of the ninth rank?"

Qing Yi seemed to be joking, but in fact, he was worried about Tun Shigu's audacity. Not to mention provoking a herd of beasts that could easily crush the five of them, even the dangerous quagmires that could be found everywhere could wipe them out at any time.

"Hehe, I missed you after not seeing you for two months, but I didn't think too much about you! Besides, my luck has always been good. You see, nothing happened except for being embarrassed along the way."

Perhaps it was because of the scorching sun that he was a little hot. Tun Shigu wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled happily on his chubby face. However, Qing Yi carefully discovered that there was obviously something on his mind in the eyes of this fat guy.

Some things can't be spoken out loud.

He did not say much, as if he had not noticed, and enthusiastically invited Tun Shigu to come to his new house and walk around the entire village of Guqiu, including the school.

Although Tu Shigu's face was full of smiles, he seemed absent-minded. Even when he passed by the martial arts arena in the center of the village, he was still distracted. At this time, Qing Yi was more and more certain that Tu Shigu must have encountered some difficulties, so he had to cross the wasteland to find him.

Otherwise, with his cleverness, he would never ignore the Star Spirit Grass planted all over the hill and the wisps of floating spiritual energy.

In the evening, the solitary hill was bustling with activity, with huge bonfires burning and huge pots set up to cook food.

In order to entertain Tun Shigu and his entourage, in addition to several shot six-tusked boars and alligator meat that was added to the luxurious dinner set menu at Guqiu, there were also various other types of animal meat such as moose and giant antelope, which filled a long eight-foot-long wooden basin.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

Fifteen washbasin-sized bowls were placed in a straight row. Chai Yong, Mu Yi, Daniu and other fifteen private soldiers sat under Qing Yi's right hand. There was no ninth-grade exotic beast meat to eat today, so they had to eat enough meat to avoid being hungry.

Gongsun Wu, Dongmen Hu, Dongmen Bao accompanied Tun Shigu and others to sit in the guest seats on the left. They all had eighth-grade exotic beast meat to eat, and each of them ate a plate very leisurely, which made Chai Yong and other private soldiers very envious.

"Brother, you ate so little today!"

Tu Shigu had seen Qing Yi eat dozens of kilograms of animal meat in one meal before, but now Qing Yi's appetite seems to have returned to normal, with only a small plate of food. However, the appetite of his private soldiers has become so large.

"We used to eat ordinary animal meat, so every meal was difficult. Now that we have the meat of the exotic alligator dragon, we naturally don't need to eat so much." Qing Yi answered with a smile as he cut the alligator dragon meat into small pieces with an eighth-grade animal tooth dagger.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Tu Shigu pointed at Daniu and his private soldiers and said to Qing Yi with a smile: "Look at Daniu and Chai Yong, they actually ate so much. If you don't know, you would think they have been promoted to the ninth-grade warrior realm. Haha——"

He thought the joke was very funny, but no one laughed, which made Tu Shigu feel a little embarrassed.

Daniu said loudly in a helpless tone: "But Corporal Gu, Master Tu, our brothers have indeed been promoted to the ninth rank!"

"What?"

Tu Shigu's expression froze, his body shook violently, and he said in disbelief, "Did I hear it wrong?"

Daniu, Chai Yong and fifteen other private soldiers shook their heads together.

Daniu added in a silly voice: "You heard it right!"

"You have all really advanced to the ninth level of strongman realm?" Master Tun Gu's body shook again, and he couldn't help but stand up slowly, pointing at Daniu with an even more shocked expression.

The fifteen private soldiers stopped eating, stared into Tuan Shigu's eyes, and nodded in unison: "That's right!"

"Good boy, brother!"

Tu Shigu's body shook violently again, and his round body suddenly sat down. The thick wooden chair could not bear his weight and broke into pieces, and he fell to the ground immediately.

When Yi helped Tu Shigu up, the shock in the old man's eyes had not dissipated. He said in a trance, "I am not dreaming. It has only been two months, brother, and you already have fifteen private soldiers of the ninth-grade warrior realm under your command."
