Even in his twilight years, he swept through the chaotic army of ten thousand warriors!

These three are a bunch of snakes and rats, always together in the brothel.

Now that things have really come to a head, they won't give an inch.

So much so that Liu Zhe couldn't even squeeze in to say a few words.

Ji Yan composed himself and snapped out of the initial feeling of relief and energy.

Take a half step forward and bow slightly.

The voice was not loud, but calm and resolute, clearly piercing through the noise.

"I appreciate your kindness, Ji Yan."

"However, I had some past connections with Liu Zhe, the flag officer, and it was thanks to his guidance that I was able to gain some basic understanding of stance training this time..."

With these words spoken, the dispute should have come to an end.

But it also depends on what interests are involved...

"Hey, isn't this perfect timing!"

Li Juyao, being the most quick-witted, immediately put his arm around Liu Zhe's shoulder.

"Liu Qiguan and I slept side by side last night!"

"Liu Qiguan has only been in his post for a short time, and he is still unfamiliar with many things..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Yan shook his head with a smile.

"I came to the garrison specifically to seek refuge with Officer Liu."

"The three of you need not say any more..."

Ji Yan bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.

Liu Zhe didn't say a word, but the corners of his mouth were already turned up high.

He adjusted his stance and walked forward with a pigeon-toed gait towards Ji Yan...

He stopped, turned around, and raised an eyebrow.

"You three, you're too kind!"

After saying that, he picked up Ji Yan and started to walk out.

"Liu Jiji, didn't you just say that yesterday...?"

Zhou Cheng gritted his teeth, his gaze filled with a hatred that seemed to want to skin Liu Zhe alive.

This should have been his!

If Liu Zhe hadn't treated him, he wouldn't have missed yesterday!

If Liu Zhe hadn't said he was too old yesterday, he wouldn't have been able to go back to sleep peacefully!

"What did you say?"

Liu Zhe had a face full of smugness, and he raised an eyebrow before speaking.

"What kind of genius haven't I seen?"

He then shrugged, "I was asking you guys..."

"But I've never seen a genius like that before!"

One sentence silenced Zhou Cheng's already flushed face, turning it a deep shade of liver.

"You two-faced scoundrel!"

"If you...you treat me, I'm never going again!"

Liu Zhe, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent, and even seemed to want to laugh.

He took Ji Yan and disappeared from the training ground in a few steps, leaving Zhou Cheng almost furious...

"That... Officer Zhou..."

Suddenly, a new recruit stepped forward and tentatively spoke.

"We've scraped together some money today and want you to teach us the whole thing..."

There's no other way; isn't the very purpose of training for this to become a Wu Zu (a type of soldier)?

Ordinary people can't see very far; they just noticed that an old man on his deathbed had cultivated qi and blood, and that so many banner officers were vying for him...

How could their hearts not be warm?

But as soon as he stepped forward, Zhou Cheng glared at him with his gloomy, liver-colored face.

"I won't teach you! Get lost!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and left, leaving the new recruits looking at each other in bewilderment.

boom!

Back in the house, Zhou Cheng picked up his teacup to calm himself down, but then he remembered Liu Zhe's Yellow Deer Blood Wine and angrily crushed the teacup in his hand.

"A two-faced guy, disgusting! Disgusting!"

After he finished speaking, only his heavy breathing remained in the room.

After a long silence, as if he had made a decision, he slammed his fist on the table.

"No!"

"That breathing technique is a great achievement; we can't let Liu Zhe monopolize it!"

"We need to report to the centurion..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Juyao splashed a bowl of tea directly onto his face.

"Are you fucking out of your mind?!"

Li Juyao stood up and slowly raised his gaze.

"I don't know if reporting it like this will diminish Liu Zhe's contribution..."

"But will this even involve you and me?"

Zhou Cheng took a deep breath and used both hands to wipe the tea leaves off his face.

"Then tell me, what should we do?"

A few words and a cup of tea did indeed calm him down considerably.

Li Juyao remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Don't tell anyone about Ji Yan's breathing technique..."

"When Liu Zhe first came down here, he paid his respects every three days and invited people over every five days. He just wanted to gain a foothold in Qingshui."

"But now, he's turning his back on us for Ji Yan's sake..."

Li Juyao refilled his teacup and took a small sip.

"Then he'd better think about... whether it's worth it."

Wang Long's eyes darted around, as if he understood Li Juyao's meaning.

"I cleared out all the equipment that Six Flags had left behind, saying that I would replace it with new equipment and give it to the damaged ones."

"Go find Old Zhao again and tell him to postpone the medicinal bath and his salary quota. We'll give him ten times the amount when Ji Yan arrives..."

"Liu Zhe can't offer us anything, so let's try to befriend Ji Yan..."

Zhou Cheng's pig brain finally clicked, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He then remembered...

When it comes to tripping each other up, these guys are professionals!

"I had someone spread rumors that Liu Zhe was demoted by the county town because he was involved in colluding with the barbarians, and then I fabricated evidence about my previous deal with the barbarians and threw it at him."

His face was beaming with joy, as if he could already see Ji Yan being appointed as a centurion.

"Isn't it obvious how to do it?"

Li Juyao finished the tea in his cup in one gulp and stood up with ease.

"However, this is only the first step."

"It's just that he doesn't have the ability to teach breathing techniques yet, otherwise..."

He walked out the door, and his voice drifted back.

"Even geniuses can die."

-

Ji Yan had been in the garrison for three days, but only now did he realize how large the Qingshui Garrison was.

Leaving the training ground and heading west, you enter through the fence gate onto the main road paved with blue bricks, which leads directly to the most prosperous area of ​​Qingshui County.

Neat brick and tile houses line both sides of the road, towering half a head higher than the mud-brick houses of the soldiers to the east. Their roofs are covered with blue tiles, preventing rain from leaking and wind from getting in.

According to Liu Zhe, they will be living here from now on.

Each banner has a large courtyard with everything it needs.

Along the way, Liu Zhe introduced the garrison to Ji Yan, and the more he looked at Ji Yan, the more enthusiastic he became.

"Old Ji, oh Old Ji, you really make me happy!"

"Last night, you said those kinds of things to me..."

"I'm thinking of finding a way to give you some silver, otherwise I don't know how long it will take you to save enough, and your health will be even further behind..."

So, you were hiding this all along!

Ji Yan shook his head slightly, his expression calm: "It was I who troubled Officer Liu. If I had kept my training a secret, you wouldn't have fallen out with them..."

"Of course, I didn't expect it to be just a matter of breaking one's blood and qi. Logically speaking, the banner officers should be used to it."

Actually, he had planned to melt away the evil energy and then go to sleep...

But he didn't expect that the evil energy was so powerful that it directly produced the entire breathing technique in one go.

With the breathing exercises, the fighting became smoother and smoother, to the point that by the time I realized it, it was already too late; I had no choice but to fire...

Even more surprisingly, four of the thirty-two strands of malevolent energy remained.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense...

It's just that he obtained them easily, but each of these wisps of malevolent energy is equivalent to a case involving a human life!
