I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 83, September 1st, Death Squad: 4080!

The next day.

The eldest sister, Zuo Rong, came over.

"Xiao Jing, Xiao Cheng, you two must be very careful from now on."

"The Five Wonders Tower is frequented by all sorts of people, so be careful not to say anything that might offend someone."

"You know Yang Bing from your brother-in-law's second brother's family, right?"

"He's always talking back."

"I don't know where I offended someone these days. Last night, someone sneaked into my house, pulled out all my teeth, and broke both my arms. Now I can't curse anymore, and I'll have to wear dentures and be fed for the rest of my life. How miserable!"

Zuo Rong shivered.

All teeth were extracted.

Break the arm.

Just thinking about it hurts; it's too horrifying.

"Yang Bing—"

Zuo Cheng subconsciously looked at his second brother.

Zuo Jing looked shocked: "Who is it?! So ruthless?"

He doesn't know!
Zuo Cheng withdrew his gaze. Regardless of who did it, Yang Bing was in big trouble, and he felt a sense of satisfaction.

It would be best to wait until he has mastered medical skills, and then let Yang Bing suffer another misfortune. At that time, he can bring his medicine box to treat Yang Bing's illness.

That scene—

Hey!

Zuo Cheng couldn't wait to go study: "Big sister, second brother, you two chat, I have something to do."

He ran to the backyard, where his two masters were waiting for him.

One of them was Feng Siyi, who was proficient in 'medical skills'.

One is Feng Sijiu, who is an expert in 'education'.

Working together will allow them to better teach Zuo Cheng.

Zuo Rong asked curiously, "What could possibly be wrong with him?"

Zuo Jing replied, "From today onwards, Xiao Cheng will study medicine under the guidance of the doctors from the Five Absolutes Pavilion."

Zuo Rong was even more surprised: "The Five Wonders Pavilion has doctors?"

Zuo Jing nodded: "The Five Absolutes Tower is a large and powerful family with many talented people."

But isn't it still a bit strange that a restaurant has a doctor?
Moreover, how skilled can the doctors in restaurants be?
Zuo Rong exclaimed, "You should have told me sooner! The Yang family has two clinics, and the doctors there are highly skilled. I could have had your brother-in-law arrange for one or two apprentices to work there without any problem."

Zuo Jing laughed and said, "Don't bother your brother-in-law with everything. Besides, it takes at least five to eight years to learn real skills as an apprentice in a medical clinic. It's a lifelong thing. Why don't we let Xiao Cheng learn from the doctors at Wujue Tower first? We can talk about it later if he can learn it. Otherwise, we'll just send him there and he won't want to learn, which would be a waste of time."

correct.

Speaking of my brother-in-law.

"I heard my brother-in-law went out to buy medicinal herbs again?" Zuo Jing asked knowingly.

Zuo Rong sighed, "He said there's been a lot of trouble lately, and many injuries, especially since Shangyang City has a great demand for medicinal herbs. This time he went to Tengjiang Prefecture to buy medicinal herbs and transport them to Shangyang City. He's been running between two prefectures, and it will take him at least three months to get back. He won't be able to make it in time for the baby to be born."

Zuo Rong was feeling down.

It was her first time getting pregnant and giving birth, but her parents and husband were both gone, which made her feel quite heartbroken.

Zuo Jing held her older sister's hand: "Xiao Cheng and I are here too."

Zuo Rong offered some words of comfort, but she was still downcast: "I wonder how my parents are doing, and what about my eldest son? I heard they're fighting 'Quanrong Giants' in the Nine Borders. They're all two or three stories tall and as fierce as wild beasts."

Zuo Jing didn't know whether his parents were dead or alive.

It's the same on my brother's side.

The northwestern defense line is long, with nine important towns, twenty-eight strategic passes, hundreds of military towns, thousands of passes, millions of troops stationed there, and tens of thousands of generals of all ranks.

Who knows which strategic pass, which important town, or under whose command my elder brother was assigned?

As of today, it is the first day of the ninth lunar month.

Zuo Jing had a total of 4080 elite soldiers. He sent 400 of them to the Northwest and they joined more than 40 large and small military towns, but he still could not find his elder brother, Zuo Sheng.

On the contrary, 36 of the suicide soldiers died in battle.

The mortality rate is 8%.

At first glance, it doesn't look tall.

But how long has it been?
On April 11th, Zuojing dispatched four assassins to the northwestern border town for the first time.

It's been less than five months so far, and initially only a small number of people were sent; most of them were sent over in July and August.

Such a short time, such a large number of casualties.

The Northwest is a veritable meat grinder.

Now we can only hope that Zuo Sheng, who is always wise and quick-witted, will be lucky enough to be alive for the time being.

……

The three northwestern provinces of the Great Yan have always been barren. The vast territory is covered by the Loess Plateau, Gobi Desert, desert grassland, and Gobi desert, with little rainfall and an arid climate.

Living conditions were extremely difficult.

Loess land. Wuli Village.

Zuo Sheng led the villagers to dig the first well in the village in hundreds of years.

“It’s out of the water!”

"The water's coming out!"

"Long live the village chief!"

The villagers cheered with joy.

With this well, the village's drinking water problem will be solved from now on, and they will no longer have to rely on the Qingshui River five miles away.

Zuo Sheng watched all this and a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing him wearing shorts and shirtless, he didn't look like a soldier at all; he looked more like someone who had come to the Northwest to farm.

"It's so bitter!"

"I never thought there would be such a place in Great Yan. It can't compare to Shangyang."

Zuo Sheng shifted his gaze from Xinjing to the endless expanse of yellow earth in the distance, and couldn't help but think of Shangyang City.

Shangyang is located near Yangjiang, one of the nine rivers, and is also adjacent to Qinghu Lake. It has abundant water all year round and is one of the major grain-producing areas in Dayan, with many high-quality paddy fields.

Look at your feet again.

The parched yellow earth, when the wind blows, fills the sky with dust that is almost blinding; it is extremely dry.

If you want to water the plants, you have to fetch water from the Qingshui River, which is five miles away.

Bitter!

Fortunately, he had learned a few well-drilling techniques in his early years. Although he was only a novice, he finally succeeded once after many attempts.

congratulations.

'Our next goal is to divert an irrigation canal from the Qingshui River to Wuli Village.'

But this is not easy.

It's not just digging ditches that's difficult.

The villages near the Qingshui River were more likely to disagree.

A little troublesome.

Zuo Sheng's lips were chapped. He drank some slightly bitter well water, gazed southeast as the sun set, and he felt homesick.

suddenly.

At this time.

"Village Chief!"

"Village Chief!"

"The Quanrong have attacked again!"

……

……

September 1st.

Zuo Jing reviews the distribution of 4080 suicide soldiers—

Shangyang Prefecture: 1505.
Xiayang Prefecture: 1000.
Nine sides: 364.
Labor reform base: 400.
The Six Blessed Lands: 411.
The remaining prefectures of Jiujiang Province: 200.
All provinces other than Jiujiang: 200.
The number of assassins is increasing.

The business expanded and grew larger.

Zuo Jing made a good plan, leaving no area untouched: Jiujiang, Jiubian, and Fudi.

"After reaching level nine of the Broken Jade, 55 new elite soldiers will be recruited every day. As long as we don't clash head-on with the imperial court or the Quanrong, it will be more than enough to support our three-pronged advance."

among them.

Jiujiang is our base, our fundamental stronghold, and of paramount importance. We must continue to deploy more elite troops there.

There's no need to make a fuss.

Simply lie in wait.

The assassins remain silent, awaiting deployment at any time in the future.

As for the Nine Borders, the main purpose was to find the eldest brother.

"The Northwest is too vast."

"There are too many military towns."

"Stretching for 20,000 miles."

"There are thousands of passes, large and small, so finding a person is like finding a needle in a haystack, or as difficult as climbing to heaven."

This is not easy.

Let's see as we go.

Furthermore, the six blessed lands currently occupied by Zuo Jing are primarily for hunting beasts. Among them are the Yellow Sand Blessed Land, the Swamp Blessed Land of the Danyang Sect, and the Island Blessed Land of the Tongtian Sect, which are very likely related to his parents, siblings, and other relatives.

We also need to put in a lot of effort and conduct a thorough investigation.
