Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 244: Defending the country with force, the Qin Empire, and the people, I entrust you with my responsibility.
Toyota County, are we going to take Toyota County back to Daqin?
Hong Yang and Hu Tang looked at each other, with unconcealable excitement in their eyes.

Where can I achieve success?
Of course it is a place of turmoil.

Whether you capture Toyota County or garrison in Toyota County, it is extremely easy to gain military merit.

If it were the previous Hu Tang and Hong Yang, they would not be willing to go to such a place.

But now the two have different mindsets, and they would love to go to Toyota County.

When the three of them arrived at the martial arts school, there were already quite a few people waiting.

"Zhang Nineteen!"

"Haha, Zhang Wudi."

When everyone saw Zhang Yuan, they all smiled and greeted him with a bow.

Zhang Yuan's strength, methods, and background are all beyond their reach.

Even the sons of officials in the county government, such as Mr. Gu, were respectful when they saw Zhang Yuan.

Today is the day when the martial arts training is completed. Several instructors, all students, and the martial arts master Ji Yuntang have arrived.

Sima Zhou Zhengtong also encouraged everyone in the square, and then handed out books that had passed the training assessment to everyone.

After passing the martial arts training assessment, you can go to Sima Mansion to receive your assignment.

At this time, when everyone received the documents that confirmed they had passed the assessment, they were filled with emotion.

This time's assessment, starting from the martial arts training and ending with a big battle yesterday, all the experiences were beyond my imagination before.

"Today's martial arts training has concluded. You are now eligible to become military officers of the Great Qin, either for promotion or for service. I hope you will live up to your training and your integrity."

Ji Yuntang shouted loudly, then bowed to everyone.

"Defend the country, the Great Qin, and the people with force. I entrust you with this."

On the square, all the students in training clasped their fists in return and shouted, "For the Great Qin, I will never regret dying—"

After the ceremony, people were reluctant to leave for a long time, and many people in the square had tears in their eyes.

After leaving this time, most of them may never have the chance to see each other again in this life.

Many of them will also sacrifice their lives for the Qin Dynasty.

"Brother Zhang, if you ever return to Fengtian County, please burn some incense for my brothers from the Red Scale Army who died there over the years."

Walking up to Zhang Yuan, Huang Shi patted him on the shoulder and spoke in a low voice.

Zhang Yuan turned to look at him. Huang Shi lowered his voice and said, "I have been invited by General Cao of the Imperial Guard to go to the Imperial City."

"By then, I might be able to serve in the Imperial Guard."

Zhang Yuan understood that Huang Shi had injured his eyes and legs, and it was impossible for him to return to the Red Scale Army.

The fierce battles on the border were no longer suitable for him.

The Imperial City Guards are a much stronger army than the Red Scale Army. If Huang Shi were to serve in the Imperial Guards, he would most likely be trained as he is doing now.

That’s good, at least what I’ve learned won’t be wasted.

Huang Shi went to the imperial city, Zhao Kuo remained in the county government, but Sun Ze intended to return to Luyang Prefecture and work as the chief clerk in the Wuwei Yamen.

As Sun Ze said, we will go there in a few days.

After this training, not only will the students disperse, but Ji Yuntang, the sacrificial student of the martial arts school, and Gong Yuzheng, the sacrificial student of the county school, will also leave Zhengyang County.

A group of students left the martial arts school and went to Sima Mansion to receive their assignments. Zhang Yuan did not go there, but walked out of the gate and went to the carriage parked there.

Zhao Yu was already waiting in the carriage.

Zhang Yuan was slightly stunned when he stepped onto the carriage.

Today, Zhao Yu is wearing women's clothing.

When Zhao Yu saw Zhang Yuan, a blush appeared on his face and he turned his head to look out the window.

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

East Spring Valley.

Huang Laoliu has almost packed up his things, and the thatched cottage left behind will be handed over to the big men who learned to refine weapons from him.

Although these men only learned the basics, forging farm tools and ordinary swords was no problem for them.

"Old Huang, I've suffered a huge loss this time."

"For these things, I have taken out all the treasures from the bottom of the box."

In front of Zhang Yuan were two swords and a fiery red chain.

When Huang Laoliu spoke, although his expression showed pain, the pride in his words could not be concealed.

For a true weapon refiner, the improvement of their skills by refining a treasure is far more precious than the treasure itself. Both swords were completely fiery red.

A sword more than three feet long, burning hot to the touch.

Holding the sword in hand, even before it is unsheathed, one can feel the sound of a dragon's roar resounding from it.

"This sword was forged from the long horn of the red dragon, and a lot of spiritual materials were added." Huang Laoliu stood aside with a much more serious expression.

"This sword isn't very sharp, but it has dragon energy and can break any weapon in the world."

After a pause, Huang Laoliu whispered, "With this sword in hand, try to keep it secret from others."

Dragon energy, a majestic energy, can only be controlled by the rich and powerful, or by the royal family.

If the royal family knew about this sword, they would probably try to steal it.

Zhang Yuan didn't say anything and looked at the other dagger.

The sword was no more than a foot long, and the scabbard was inlaid with gold beads.

This sword can also cut weapons, but because the blade is shorter, it looks more delicate.

These two long swords are rare swords in the world, and are not inferior to the cold light and the red sky.

Zhang Yuan reached out and grabbed the red chain lying beside him.

Red Dragon Rope.

The spine of the red dragon is connected at every vertebra.

Holding one end of the chain, Zhang Yuan shook his palm, and the chain spun and turned into a three-foot-long mace.

The fiery red mace vibrated like a dragon's roar.

"Gather together and we can defeat the enemy." Huang Laoliu stood aside with a proud look on his face.

Zhang Yuan shook his hand, and the long mace turned into a chain. There seemed to be flames on the four-foot-five-foot-long chain, and he swung it down like a long whip, hitting a bluestone three feet away.

"Snapped--"

The bluestone shattered, and one of the palm-sized stones was rolled back by the chain and fell in front of Zhang Yuan.

"Disperse, we can capture them." Huang Laoliu said in a deep voice.

Zhang Yuan spun his palm, and the chain wrapped around his left arm layer by layer.

The fiery red chain was attached to the clothes on the arm like an arm guard, and outsiders could not tell that it was a chain.

After agreeing with Huang Laoliu to go to Luyang Prefecture in two days, Zhang Yuan and Zhao Yu left Dongquan Valley.

As the carriage moved forward, Zhao Yu looked up at Zhang Yuan and asked, "Are you going back to Luyang Prefecture?"

Zhang Yuan nodded.

Zhao Yu didn't dare to look at him and didn't know what to say. There was silence in the carriage for a while.

It was not until the carriage stopped at Tangwai Street that Zhang Yuan spoke in the carriage.

"Give this sword to Prince Zhao, who will deliver it to the imperial city."

Zhang Yuan handed the long sword to Zhao Yu, and then put the dagger in her hand.

"This sword is for your protection."

Zhang Yuan's words made Zhao Yu look up suddenly.

She knew how valuable this sword was.

Give her such a treasure?

"If you have any trouble, bring this sword to me." Zhang Yuan patted Zhao Yu's shoulder and said solemnly, "I'll be there."

After saying this, he stood up and got out of the carriage.

Zhao Yu looked at his back and was stunned for a moment.

It was not until the carriage moved forward and headed towards the Zhao family villa that Zhao Yu came to his senses and clenched the dagger in his hand.

"In this case, isn't this a bit too much of a favor?" Zhao Yu whispered softly, a blush on his face.

"How about I pledge my love to you..." Her voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"Bah, Ying Yuruo, you are shameless. People treat you as a brother, but you want to..."

……

When Zhao Yu returned to the Zhao family villa and got off the carriage holding the sword, Princess Fengming was standing at the door.

"My little girl Yuruo has grown up," Princess Fengming said with a chuckle as she stepped forward. "Tell my aunt, why are you blushing?"
