Chapter 106 Eagle Riders (Subscribe!)
On the main road of Qinghe.

The reddish-brown horses were galloping, their hooves so fast that only their shadows could be seen, transforming into a sharp sword as they crossed the streets of Qinghe.

Tighten the reins.

The horse stood on its front hooves, and its nostrils blew out powerful air visible to the naked eye. Its muscles surged like water waves against the backdrop of its snow-red hair.

One by one, the cavalrymen, wearing light silver armor with eagle head patterns, dismounted from their horses.

Flying Eagle Rider!
This outfit is so beautiful.

Not to mention anything else, the silver-white light armor is different from ordinary soldiers' armor. It is made of special materials and craftsmanship. It is light and has good defensive properties.

Li Rui still remembered that he spent a lot of money when he first made the guard armor.

No wonder young generals in novels are often dressed in silver armor. Which girl wouldn't be tempted by such a thing?

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

The elite among the elite, the general's favorite, are equipped with far better equipment than other arms.

What is elite?

In ancient times, as long as one could obey orders and wear armor and helmet, he was considered an elite. The silver spent every year was an astronomical figure. The two old men, the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War, often argued about this in front of the emperor.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

County Magistrate Zhang received the news in advance and was waiting outside the county government office.

Each of these Flying Eagle Riders is an eighth-grade warrior, and the worst one is a ninth-grade warrior.

The leading general clasped his fists and said, "Flying Eagle Cavalry, General Flag, Wei Ming, comes here on the orders of General Cao."

"General Wei, please come in."

Magistrate Zhang led the Flying Eagle Riders into the hall with a smile.

In the Annan army, the lowest-ranking officer was the small flag, corresponding to the ninth or eighth rank.

Theoretically, a small flag has ten soldiers under his command.

However, the problem of Yu State's army drawing empty salaries became increasingly serious. Even though the cabinet chief Zhang had carried out several rounds of reforms, the results were still mediocre.

You are all generals now, so it is reasonable to find a few people to run errands, right?
He has 1,800 men under his command, so it's reasonable to transfer a few of them, right?

what?
You want me to spend my own money to hire someone!

This is absolutely not possible.

It is not as easy to use and safe to use people hired from outside as it is to use your own soldiers.

At the level of general flag, he is a seventh-rank official, the same as County Magistrate Zhang, and he usually manages five small flags, or fifty people.

The State of Yu was founded on military power.

There is no situation where culture is valued over military.

And didn’t you hear it?

He was following the orders of Lieutenant General Cao, and Zhang Linkang, a seventh-rank local magistrate, could not afford to offend him.

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door.

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

For someone who can have a heart-to-heart talk with General Cao, it's not shameful to be shorter than him.

Magistrate Zhang smiled with a bit of flattery: "General Wei, did you come here this time because General Cao has something important to tell you?"

Wei Ming didn't put on airs. He took a sip of tea and grinned, "Master Zhang, we are just completing the tasks assigned by the higher-ups."

Hear this.

County Magistrate Zhang smiled knowingly.

When working together, I am afraid of encountering people who use chicken feathers as a token of authority. As soon as Wei Ming opened his mouth, I knew he was a reasonable person.

Unlike those border towns, they face foreign invasions all day long.

The existence of the Annan Army is a shock to the world.

There is almost no need for life-and-death fighting, there is not so much violence, and in many cases one has to be tactful enough.

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

"That's one of them."

He stretched out his right index finger, dipped it in some tea, and wrote a number on the armrest.

"Of course, it is to supervise the construction of a new city."

Setting up a garrison is a huge project. If it were in a government office, it would be easy to build an administrative office. But this time the Qinghe incident caused such a big fuss that even the emperor knew about it and issued a special imperial edict.

Therefore, Anningwei was set up in Qinghe.

Qinghe is just a county town, so it certainly cannot be as prestigious as Anningwei.

Therefore, a new city needs to be built.

Then build the General's Mansion. To put it bluntly, the An Ning Guard simply looked down on Qinghe and wanted to make major changes.

For example.

Just like the imperial city and the capital city, the imperial city happened to be located in the capital city, but the imperial city is the imperial city, and the two cannot be confused.

Could it be possible that a governor of Kyoto dares to control those big masters?

"Yes, yes, with General Wei supervising this matter, there will be no problems."

Wei Ming chuckled when he heard this, but couldn't deny it.

"That's the second thing."

He added another stroke to the previous one.

"General Cao heard that there are still some remnants of the Ghost Sect in Qinghe. This matter cannot be delayed. We must at least clean them up before the general arrives."

Hear the words.

County Magistrate Zhang was suddenly in a dilemma.

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

Previously, they relied on the exchange of interests to ask the Heaven and Earth Alliance and the Blood Tiger Gang to take action, but it is difficult to completely eliminate the Ghost Sect! It is really difficult!

Wei Ming also noticed the embarrassment of County Magistrate Zhang.

"General Cao sent us here mainly for this matter. Later, I will have to trouble Magistrate Zhang to send someone to lead the way for us."

"Natural, natural."

Seeing that someone was helping him share the pressure, County Magistrate Zhang immediately smiled happily.

The Ghost Cult has indeed been defeated, but that doesn't mean it can be wiped out.

That night, many believers and monsters escaped during the chaos.

Jiang Linxian is powerful, but she only has eyes for the Mother of Ten Thousand Ghosts and would never bother to catch small fish.

After drinking a cup of tea, Wei Ming asked again, "Master Zhang, I heard that there is a 70-year-old man in Qinghe who received a memorial archway granted by the emperor?"

Speaking of which.

County Magistrate Zhang became interested.

This was one of the most important achievements during his tenure.

"It is also."

"It's also a legend. The old man's name is Li Rui. He is already seventy years old. He accidentally got this martial art. After practicing it, he actually practiced it to the eighth level. Now he is the deputy leader of the Tiandi League."

"The emperor bestowed upon me the title of 'Yiyong' for my meritorious service in killing a demon beast a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ming frowned.

Good guy.

Practice martial arts at seventy and reach eighth level in one year.

This can be included in the top ten legends of the martial arts world.

If what County Magistrate Zhang said was true, that person was a rare gem.

There are actually quite a few similar situations.

For example, in the Annan Army, there was a fifty-year-old cook who acquired a martial art by chance, and his strength increased greatly.

After all.

It’s all because I was neglected when I was young and had no chance to practice martial arts at all.

But if you practice again when you are older, it is impossible to reach the level of a child’s kung fu.

"seventy."

"It's a little too late."

The corner of Wei Ming's mouth twitched.

It's almost time to be buried.

It’s not that there aren’t old immortals, but that’s because people are little immortals when they are young, and they become old immortals when they are old. It’s not possible to become an old immortal just by being old.

Moreover, he only started at the age of seventy. No matter how fast he is, he can't compare with those geniuses who started practicing at the age of five.

"It's all fate."

Wei Ming shook his head.

"Sir Zhang, since only that old man has seen the monster recently, please take me to see it. Maybe we can find some clues. Since he is a local celebrity in Qinghe, we must meet him."

Magistrate Zhang nodded:
"That makes sense. I'll arrange it right away."
