Chapter 51: I just watched Captain Li practicing boxing, and his skills are really not up to par

The Black Knight is the secret war cavalry used by the Black Ice Platform to deal with difficult matters and defeat powerful enemies.

At that time, all the strong men of the Black Ice Platform were killed or wounded, and they were unable to support the huge military guards. They gave up the ownership of the Military Guard Office and only retained the control of the Black Armor and Black Cavalry.

According to the configuration, there were one hundred soldiers in one prefecture and one black-armored captain.

But these hundred armored soldiers were distributed everywhere, and there were only twenty black armored soldiers in Luyang Prefecture.

As for the Black Cavalry, there were 500 cavalry in one county, and one lieutenant general was appointed to lead them.

The Black Knights usually have their own secret base, and all expenses are accounted for by the Black Ice Platform.

The five hundred black cavalrymen in a county are the strongest deterrent of the Black Ice Platform.

This time, a total of thirty black cavalrymen were transferred to Luyang Prefecture, commanded by two leading captains, and stationed in a small camp of the former garrison outside the city.

Sitting in the carriage, Wang Qinian whispered, "I've seen the Black Cavalry's combat power. Three or five of them can easily surround and kill a mid-stage Acquired Realm cultivator."

"Those Tang family guards who were in the middle stage of the acquired realm were easily eliminated by a single charge of more than ten of them."

Wang Qinian’s trip to Jiulin County was not without gain.

Although Tang Wenshang escaped in such a hurry that there were still many things that were not cleaned up.

Evidence of treason, some guards of the Tang family, and supplies that had not been shipped out of the city.

If Tang Wenshang hadn't run away, Wang Qinian would have indeed accomplished a great feat.

"If they don't really have the ability, there's no need to transfer them here."

Zhang Yuan nodded and put on a black half-mask.

This visor covers the left half of Zhang Yuan's face and has bronze carvings on it, resembling a flying tiger.

In front of outsiders, Hei Hu, the Black Armor Captain of Luyang Prefecture, is just like this.

The carriage stopped in front of a valley. Zhang Yuan and Wang Qinian got off, and the secret guard driving the carriage stepped aside.

In front of the valley, two middle-aged men in black martial arts robes saw Wang Qinian with calm expressions, their eyes fixed on Zhang Yuan's visor.

"Captain?"

They addressed each other as "Sir", but they did not greet each other, just stared at each other.

Before coming to Luyang Prefecture, I already knew that there was a black-armored captain named Hei Hu at the Black Ice Platform in Luyang Prefecture.

"I brought Captain Black Tiger here to familiarize you with each other. He will train you later."

Wang Qinian walked forward with his hands behind his back, but was stopped by the middle-aged man in black robe who was leading the way.

"Master Wang, please wait for me to inform the commander-in-chief before you enter."

Chief is the name for the chief officer of a local Black Ice Station. The full name should be the Chief of a local Supervisory Department.

The Black Ice Platform was officially called the Supervisory Office in the Qin Dynasty, but some civil officials secretly called it the Military Control Office.

As for the origin of the name of Black Ice Terrace, it is said that the emperor originally set up the prison of the Supervisory Office under the ice storage in the imperial city. Once all criminals were arrested, they were sent to the ice storage, and if they froze to death, they would be directly sealed in the ice.

Because there were too many sealed criminals, they piled up into a platform, hence the name Black Ice Platform.

The words "By order of the Emperor, please go to the Black Ice Platform" became a death warrant for officials in the court.

Over time, the Black Ice Platform became the code name of the Supervisory Office, which frightened all officials, and even the emperor called it the Black Ice Platform directly.

Although blocked before the valley, Wang Qinian was not angry, but just turned back to look at Zhang Yuan.

After a moment, the black-robed warrior quickly turned around, clasped his fists and said, "My lords, the captain invites you."

……

Walking into the valley, there is a brick and wood camp surrounded by a wooden fence.

In the distance, by the river valley, dozens of black war horses, with their reins loose, were leisurely grazing.

In the camp, more than a dozen warriors in black robes were either practicing sparring or building up their strength with stone locks and sticks.

There were also a few people with bare chests, wearing only black trousers, practicing boxing and kicking.

When they saw Zhang Yuan and Wang Qinian, the warriors just glanced at them and did not stop what they were doing.

"Commander Wang, Captain Black Tiger, please wait a moment. Let's talk after we've tempered our muscles."

The big man over there, who was carrying two stone chains weighing hundreds of pounds, shouted loudly without looking up, and just rolled over with the chains on his back.

This movement looks simple, but it actually uses the strength of the muscles and bones in the back to vibrate the stone lock and make it roll.

In other words, the vibration of this person's back muscles alone has a force of more than two hundred kilograms.

The combined strength of their bodies must have exceeded a thousand pounds. "Captain Chang, you guys go ahead and do your thing." Wang Qinian chuckled, then turned and whispered, "Captain Chang Ning, late in the Acquired Realm."

"The one practicing boxing over there is Lieutenant Li Changwei, who is also in the late stage of the acquired realm."

In this world, strength always speaks.

In the late acquired realm, he could run rampant in front of everyone except those in the innate realm in Luyang Prefecture.

Although Wang Qinian is the chief officer of the Black Ice Platform here, his own strength is weak and he cannot subdue these black cavalry at all.

Besides, this is a military camp, and the army does have regulations on daily training time.

"When I requested the Black Cavalry to come, I wanted to let them stay in Luyang Prefecture for a long time, and even arranged this garrison..." Wang Qinian's face was miserable, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.

To investigate the connection between the Kong family and the Zhenbei Army, and to investigate the bandits in Jiulin County, the Black Cavalry must be mobilized.

Wang Qinian was planning to make a killing, so he sent the Black Cavalry here.

But before he could even start fighting for wealth, he was about to be dismissed from his job because of Tang Wenshang's escape.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the warriors who were training their bodies in the camp. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he had seen through everyone's strength.

Li Changwei, who was about forty years old, had already reached the strength of half a step into the Xiantian realm, but he had not cultivated the Xiantian true essence in his body, so he was not as good as Ouyang Ming in Toyota County.

If he still hasn't condensed his innate true essence at the age of forty, he probably won't have the chance to enter the innate realm in this lifetime.

He had already mastered the Iron Armor Fist to a very high level, but judging by his movements, he was still a little short of perfection.

This person should be a hardworking martial artist, but his talent and opportunities are poor, and he has no chance to make further progress.

Chang Ning is younger than Li Changwei, and at this time he has some experience in strengthening his muscles and bones.

In the camp, in addition to these two captains who are in the late stage of the acquired realm, there are also two in the middle stage of the acquired realm whose strength is over a thousand pounds.

In this camp alone, Zhang Yuan has seen five people in the middle stage of the acquired realm.

As far as the eye can see, the two weakest black knights seem to be only one step away from the acquired realm.

It is indeed an extremely elite army.

Zhang Yuan had come into contact with the Red Scale Army before. Even the Red Scale Cavalry led by Bai Shaoting did not have a strong army like the Black Cavalry in front of him.

"Your humble servant Chang Ning greets His Excellency the Captain."

"Li Changwei greets Lord Black Tiger."

The people who were exercising in the camp finally stopped and came forward to bow to Zhang Yuan.

The two leaders obviously didn't look at Wang Qinian, which made Wang Qinian's expression stiffen.

"Master Wang, don't blame the brothers for not giving you face." Li Changwei, wearing a black martial arts robe, looked at Wang Qinian with a cold voice.

"I, the Black Cavalry, messed up my first case after arriving in Luyang Prefecture. It's a disgrace to us."

"If you hadn't insisted on coming in person this time, slowing down our journey, with my Black Cavalry's speed, we could have rushed directly to Jiulin and captured Tang Wenshang."

Zhang Yuan turned and looked at Wang Qinian.

This guy never said before that it was he who implicated and dragged down the Black Knights.

Wang Qinian raised his hands to cover his face, his expression filled with annoyance: "Don't mention it, don't mention it..."

Seeing him like this, Li Changwei and Chang Ning looked at each other, then looked at Zhang Yuan.

"Captain, when we came from the county government, the commander made the arrangements. We are all to obey your orders and training."

"However, we Black Knights have our own training methods. If we change rashly, our combat effectiveness may decline instead of increase."

"If there is nothing else, you don't have to worry about us in the future."

"When you need our help, just send a message."

Do not care?
Zhang Yuan's eyes slowly narrowed, and the look in his eyes turned cold.

Everyone present was a soldier of the Qin Dynasty, receiving salaries from the Qin Dynasty, and they were not bandits from the mountains.

The military laws of the Qin Dynasty regulate the upper and lower levels. Zhang Yuan is now the chief commander of the Black Cavalry here. Even if he orders these thirty cavalrymen to die, he cannot complain at all.

Now, let him leave it alone?

This is a disregard for military discipline!

"Just now I watched Captain Li practicing his boxing skills, and his technique was really lacking."

Zhang Yuan's words made Li Changwei's face instantly gloomy.

All the soldiers in the camp changed their expressions and clenched their fists!
