Chapter 120: Zhengyang County Black Ice Platform Sixth Rank Black Armor Commander

In February of the nineteenth year of Yuankang in the Great Qin Dynasty, the spring was still cold and the ice and snow had not yet melted.

It has been three and a half months since the Battle of Toyota County.

Luyang Prefecture, Dingjia Lane.

In the small courtyard, Zhang Yuan stood still, with layers of faint golden and red aura lingering around him.

This is the energy of the Grandmaster level.

A thin layer can resist the force of ten thousand pounds, can block swords and guns, can transform weapons, can break the power of immortals and demons with the palm of your hand, and can kill monsters and destroy Buddhas.

The true qi turns into energy and reaches heaven in one step.

The external energy moved slightly and turned invisible.

A chaotic light curtain rose in Zhang Yuan’s mind.

Chaos Support: Not enabled

The military rank of the Wuwei Yamen has not changed, and the word "Dai" in "Dai Xiaowei" is still there.

Zhang Yuan's achievements in Toyota County were not ultimately settled through the Wuwei Yamen, but through the military position of Heibingtai.

He was the sixth-rank commander of the Black Armor Army of Zhengyang County, in charge of 800 Black Armor Army soldiers of Zhengyang County, and concurrently served as the commander of the Black Cavalry.

Although the official title of this position is not as high as that of Qin Yuqing's late husband, the famous genius of Zhengyang County, Lang Jiang Qi Liang, the actual power is greater than that of Qi Liang.

In recognition of Zhang Yuan's achievements, Heibingtai did not give him any financial compensation, nor any honorary official title. Instead, he was given the real power to command the Black Armored Black Cavalry.

For officials who come from the military, all official titles are empty; only the military power in their hands is real.

However, Zhang Yuan has not yet reported to the Zhengyang County Government for his work, so the official position is just a nominal one.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to go, it’s just that he can’t leave Luyang Prefecture.

In the border areas, the Red Scale Army and the Zhenbei Army fought dozens of battles, each with its own victories and defeats. It is estimated that once the ice and snow melt, there will be a real war.

The five hundred black-robed guards of the Wuwei Yamen in Luyang Prefecture were all dispatched to gather military intelligence, transfer supplies, and capture spies. They were so busy every day that the captain Zhang Yuan could not leave for the time being.

I had originally planned to go to the county government to report on my work and undergo training, but I never had the time to go.

Fortunately, after returning from Toyota County, Zhang Yuan's reputation in the Black Ice Platform and the Wuwei Yamen of Luyang Prefecture had become unparalleled. As long as they were given orders for anything, he basically didn't need to show up.

He was also happy and relaxed. Most of the time, he practiced in the small courtyard of Dingjia Lane under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries. As long as he did not leave Luyang Prefecture, it was fine.

After reaching the Grandmaster level, cultivation requires the concentration of evil energy and the ability to sense the Way of Heaven. It is no longer enough to rely solely on the feedback of chaos to accumulate resources.

It takes a hundred Qi, Blood and True Essence beads to condense one Gang Qi bead. Such a loss is really not worth it. It is better to continue to use Qi, Blood and True Essence beads to accumulate physical strength.

Zhang Yuan's way of cultivation is different from that of other masters. The Heavenly Power that he senses and accumulates is currently only at the ordinary beginner master level, but his physical strength has reached 300,000 pounds and is still improving.

This has surpassed most of the world's masters.

For the past three months, Zhang Yuan has basically been adapting to the Grandmaster's cultivation and Grandmaster's combat methods, while continuing to temper his own body.

Anyway, according to Liang Qiyuan, to temper the flesh is to temper the golden body, and to temper the tendons and bones is to forge jade bones.

The younger you become a Grandmaster, the more time you have to hone your body. The more powerful the power of the Great Dao you will carry in the future, the greater your chance of entering the Dragon Elephant Grandmaster realm.

Liang Qiyuan suffered some damage to his essence in a battle outside Toyota County, so he stayed in Luyang Prefecture for a few days. He talked to Zhang Yuan about cultivation, taught him some Shanyue Sect's skills and martial arts, and then returned to the sect to go into seclusion.

Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Zhang Yuan to remember the introductory things.

If Zhang Yuan didn't have an official status, Liang Qiyuan would have taken him directly to the mountain gate to practice.

--------------

After finishing his training and straightening his clothes, Zhang Yuan walked straight out of the courtyard and headed for Yulin Academy.

When I arrived at the academy, dozens of half-grown children were studying in the front yard. The teacher was over fifty years old with a white beard.

In the backyard, seven or eight older children were wielding swords under the leadership of two sturdy martial arts instructors.

Compared with the previous academy, it is much more prosperous now.

After Zhang Yuan returned from Fengtian County, he secretly and openly accepted many people into the academy. Huang Sheng, the eldest son of the owner of Dingyang Tower in Fengtian County, couldn't refuse to accept him.

Zhao Changming's nephew, Zhao Changming came specially with a gift of money.

The direct descendants of several families in the city asked others to send them here, and they even used their connections to get to the prefect and judge He Jin.

Zhang Yuan had met Yao Gao's adopted son from Qingshan Village a few years ago. He was now fifteen years old and was brought here by Yao Gao himself.

The Duyuan Sword Sect and the Yeshan Sect sent several disciples here, all of them were eleven or twelve years old, and were good candidates for learning martial arts.

Huang Shi and Bai Yu went to the county government, and stopped at Luyang Prefecture halfway, where they sent seven or eight children, saying they were orphans of their comrades in the army. Some of them were the children of the Qinglang Cavalry who died this time.

Master Tao reminded Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan finally decided to accept it.

There were too many people, so the academy had to find another teacher and instructors to teach boxing and swordsmanship.

Mr. Lu Nancheng was an old student who had failed several civil service examinations. He was from Luyang Prefecture and would certainly not refuse a monthly stipend of two taels of silver.

The two martial arts instructors are both retired soldiers with a solid foundation in swordsmanship and boxing. With Huang Sanliang and others coming to teach boxing every two days, it will be enough.

"Their intention is to tie you up in Luyang Prefecture."

In the small pavilion in the backyard, Master Tao, who was sitting in front of the fireplace, saw Zhang Yuan, shook his head and spoke.

"Judge He has some connections. He knows that you have done something significant in Fengtian County, and he is secretly planning to have you enter the government office."

"Look, the military supervisor from the Wuwei Yamen hasn't arrived yet. He must have been turned away by the government office."

Rubbing his hands, a hint of color appeared on Master Tao's face.

When Liang Qiyuan came to Luyang Prefecture, Zhang Yuan begged him to use the great river energy to help Master Tao penetrate his heart meridian and repair the damaged heart meridian.

The evil energy that Zhang Yuan cultivated was weak but strong, unlike Liang Qiyuan's energy which could be both hard and soft, and had the energy of a continuous river.

Liang Qiyuan gave Zhang Yuan face and helped Master Tao heal his injuries.

However, Liang Qiyuan said that Master Tao's injury had lasted too long and could not be healed unless he took the rare immortal elixir on Yongtianzhou.

This time the dredging is only valid for three years at most.

It is a pleasant surprise that Master Tao has been able to act like a normal person in the past three years and even practice some martial arts.

Zhang Yuan didn't care. Three years was enough time for him to cultivate the Great River Qi.

"Honestly, when Princess Fengming left, she offered you conditions. Were you not tempted?"

Master Tao leaned forward and looked at Zhang Yuan. "Chief Secretary of the Palace, I will marry a woman from the side branch of Prince Zhao's Palace."

"With the royal palace as your backing, you will rise to prominence."

"Besides, according to what Yu Qing said, Prince Zhao is very likely to be summoned to the imperial city."

Zhang Yuan picked up the teacup on the table, poured himself a bowl, and shook his head.

"Yuqing, you're calling me so affectionately, did you really succeed?"

"Do you think I'm a gigolo like you?"

"I don't know what Master Qin likes about you—"

His voice paused.

From the wing room not far away, Qin Yuqing came out holding a fox fur coat, with an annoyed look on her face.

"Why don't you dress warmly before going out? Do you really think you're in good health?"

Seeing Zhang Yuan, Qin Yuqing looked calm. She put the fox fur coat on Master Tao and then looked at Zhang Yuan.

"Master Zhang, Yulin and I are going to the Tao family in the countryside. I'll leave the affairs of the Black Ice Terrace to you for the next few days."

"Your Excellency is now a sixth-rank commander. You have the final say on the matter of the Black Ice Terrace in Luyang Prefecture. Yulin and I plan to stay in the countryside for a while longer so that he can recover. Living in the countryside will be comfortable and beneficial to his recovery."

Zhang Yuan looked at Qin Yuqing, then at Master Tao, then turned and left.

This place is unbearable.

Behind him, Mr. Tao's laughter came.

Zhang Yuan arrived at the Wuwei Yamen. Feng Cheng, dressed in a black robe, walked quickly over and whispered, "Sir, two merchant caravans in Liping County have been robbed. The Liping County Magistrate has requested assistance. I believe the government will send Wuwei."
