C17 The Saber Slashed down on the War God

Two days later, Lu Changkong was led by a eunuch into the Royal Guardian's military camp. Two thousand soldiers were already standing neatly in the camp, waiting for the commander to arrive.

"The new commander of Royal Guardian, Lord Lu Wei Changkong, has arrived!"

Following the young eunuch's strange shout, the two thousand pairs of eyes turned to Lu Changkong.

They were sizing up this young man. He had an average appearance and was wearing a white scholarly robe. As Lu Changkong waved his finger with a face full of anger, Lu Changkong was also using Spirit Senses to observe his subordinates.

After a week of scanning with the Spirit Sense, Lu Changkong could not help but be greatly disappointed. Although the Royal Guardian had a lot of people, their cultivation base was pitifully low. The few generals who were the most powerful among them had only stopped at the "Qi" stage, which was still a distance away from the Golden Core stage. The rest were generally at the level of Qi Gatherer. If. . . Lu Changkong knew that the Imperial City's Twelve Guards were all made up of ten thousand people, while he only had a mere two thousand subordinates. He didn't know what he would think.

Of course, these elite soldiers and generals also shook their heads at the newly appointed commander. A scholar with a white face, reciting poems to go against him was still acceptable. Let him command the army? Perhaps, a shout to kill could scare him to the point of pissing his pants. The more they looked at him, the more they found him unpleasant to the eye.

Lu Changkong walked up to the stage, and the master of ceremonies led him to the incense table. He held a cup of clear water, and the incense burner said, "Lord commander, please wash your body and offer incense for the War God. "

"Military God?" Lu Changkong frowned. He looked at the red cloth covered statue on the table and said coldly, "I don't know what Army God is!"

"The official doesn't know how to worship God. It seems like he really is a melon egg. " The emcee felt disdain in his heart, but he said unpatiently: "Washing the body of the Military God and offering incense is the rule of the army. For generations. . . "

"Bastard!"

Lu Changkong suddenly shouted and slapped the emcee to the ground. He reached out his hand and pulled out the guard's waist knife. He waved his hand and cut the general statue and the incense table into four pieces. He then put the knife back into the guard's sheath. He turned around with a calm expression.

"You. . . You. . . You. . . You killed the War God. . . " The emcee was so scared that his face turned ashen. He was trembling and couldn't speak properly.

The soldiers of Royal Guardian were also in an uproar because of his actions.

"Silence!"

Lu Changkong angrily shouted and secretly circulated the Genuine Essence, shaking 2000 people until they felt dizzy and dizzy. The school field also became silent at once.

Lu Changkong raised his voice and said: "I want brave soldiers who don't worship the heaven and earth, who don't respect ghosts and gods, who fight with their swords and kill mercilessly, not old ladies who hold candles in their hands and pray to the gods all day long. Whoever dares to worship the gods in my camp will be punished by military law. "

"Yes!"

The two thousand horses responded in unison. Their momentum shook the sky. In their hearts, Lu Changkong's position had changed instantly. In the army, only the strong were respected, and the iron fist was always the one who subdued the hearts of the people. Lu Changkong's saber hacked at the army spirit, his voice shaking the three armies. His domineering and heroic spirit could be seen from this. It made the people under the banner stop looking down on him.

Lu Changkong put his hands behind his back and said, "I will now issue the first order. From now on, in my army, Father and son, brothers, join the army at the same time. . . There must be one person who will be discharged from the army. Joining the army alone, with parents at home, He had to take care of his children, and all of them had to be discharged from the army. What I want to make clear is. . . Those who stay in my army must be fearless criminals who have nothing to do with them. Without the image of a brave man, he wouldn't dare to fight with his saber. If they didn't want blood to splatter on the battlefield, they might as well go home early. Once the two armies clashed, no one would have a shred of pity for the enemy. I don't want to see someone die in my camp because of my fear, and I don't want to send compensation money to your crying family. I'll give you three days to choose to stay. Those who leave will be paid double the severance fee. "

Lu Changkong paused and said: "Of course, I will also apply for the salary of 2000 people. The salary of those who stay will be doubled again. 100 people will be given 2000 people's salary. 10 people will be given 2000 people's salary. Do you understand!? "

"Understood!"

The soldiers shouted once again.

Lu Changkong nodded his head in satisfaction and told the military supply officer to turn around and leave. In less than two days, half of Royal Guardian had retired, but Lu Changkong did not care about this matter. He did not even leave his house. No one knew what he was thinking or what he was doing.

Three days later, the Royal Guardian, which had 2,000 people, had left with only 600 people. Even the Firehead Army had left. Lu Changkong did not care about the allocation of a few men from the 600 people. He divided the six hundred men into two camps, Iron Blood and Strong Wind. At the same time, he fulfilled his promise of doubling his salary.

After Eunuch Hsiao received the secret report from his subordinate, he actually laughed loudly and said, "Lu Changkong this monkey is a little interesting. I didn't hear anything. The salary will be paid and the military equipment will be distributed. Let him do whatever he wants!"

When he heard that Lu Changkong had obtained a large number of medicinal pills from somewhere to help his subordinate increase his cultivation and pass down the cultivation secret manuals to the two battalions, he was slightly moved. Secretly sneaking into the vicinity of the Royal Guardian's campsite, he saw that the campsite was empty. Lu Changkong and the six hundred soldiers had gone to an unknown place.

Three days later, there was finally news that the Royal Guardian had gathered to the north of the Vengeful Soul Swamp. When he rushed to the Vengeful Soul Swamp on his sword, he suddenly heard an explosion. The earth shook and the mountains shook. A dark red mushroom cloud slowly rose from the valley, along with a raging flame. Then, silver waves rose from the mountain pass where the explosion had occurred. The 30 meter tall waves swept across the sky and the earth with the momentum of ten thousand horses, rushing along the mountain path.

Eunuch Hsiao was shocked. He hurriedly flew up on his sword and looked down at the torrents rushing into the bottom of the Specter Pool, forming a huge whirlpool in the center of the Death Valley. Eight stone pillars slowly rose from the bottom of the whirlpool, locking down the Yin Qi in the valley. The Yin Qi in the ground was channeled into the water. The water gradually turned from white to black, until it became as black as ink. One could faintly see the souls spiraling in the water.

"Who set up the Yin Evil Spirit Gathering Formation? What a big move!" Eunuch Hsiao was sighing when he saw Southern Guarding Prince floating over.

He obviously heard Eunuch Hsiao talking to himself and smiled. "It was Lu Changkong who blew up the river and lured the river water into the valley to gather Qi. "

"Your Highness already knew?"

"I also just knew about it! I think it won't be long before father-in-law receives a letter from the Royal Guardian to change the camp. " Southern Guarding Prince sighed. "If I had his courage back then, perhaps the strength of the Dragon Protection Squad would have increased by another level. "

While the two of them were talking, Lu Changkong's treasured vessel had already sailed over slowly. Six hundred soldiers flew out of the treasured vessel one after another and chose a suitable place to stay. They sat down cross-legged and absorbed the baleful aura to cultivate. Lu Changkong also sat cross-legged on the bow of the ship and closed his eyes to cultivate.

Lu Changkong already knew that the two of them had arrived, but he just didn't want to meet them. At least he didn't want to explain where he got the pills from, and he didn't want to mention to others how many pills and materials his master had left for him to refine in the sea.

Time passed by in the sun rising and setting. Lu Changkong didn't forget to send a letter to Yuan, saying that he was safe and sound, even though he practiced day and night. Later, Yuan simply got a parrot with his spiritual sense activated to send a message. Lu Changkong liked this parrot even more. It was almost inseparable, which made the soldiers of Royal Guardian call him General Bird behind his back.

This day, Lu Changkong suddenly received an invitation from Southern Guarding Prince, inviting him to attend the cultivation gathering as the commander of the Royal Guardian.

Lu Changkong wasn't willing to attend this so-called gathering, because once he appeared at the meeting, he would meet many people he didn't want to see. Lu Changkong's finger lightly flicked the invitation card, thinking of how to politely decline it.

The eunuch who delivered the letter said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness had instructed that if General Lu does not wish to see that old friend, you can excuse yourself and not go. His Royal Highness will naturally deal with General Lu!"

Lu Changkong put his hands behind his back and walked to the window and said slowly: "Eunuch, may I ask who I am?"

The eunuch was stunned. Although he did not know what the other party's intention was, he still answered respectfully, "General, of course, is the commander of the Royal Guardian in Great Ming, Lu Changkong. He is a first-class official. "

Lu Changkong had his back to the eunuch as he said faintly, "Since you know my identity, tell His Royal Highness that Lu Changkong will be there on time. "

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "See him out!"

The eunuch was so angry that his face turned green. In his heart, he cursed that Lu Changkong did not know the rules and did not reward him, but he did not even have the least politeness and directly waved his hand to see the guest out. He fiercely flicked his sleeve and flew away on his sword.

When he returned to the prince's mansion, he naturally exaggerated how arrogant Lu Changkong was and how disrespectful he was to the prince's special envoy. When Southern Guarding Prince heard this, he shook his head and smiled. He waved his hand and dismissed him.

He turned to the smiling Xiao Gongping and said, "This Lu Changkong is indeed a character. I want to provoke him into joining the battle, but he actually sent me into the army. "

"Since you know my identity, tell Your Highness that Lu Changkong will definitely be there on time. Well said! Haha. . . " Eunuch Hsiao repeated Lu Changkong's words and laughed. "He is telling His Royal Highness that Lu Changkong is already a general of Great Ming and will not face the four big sects with his own identity. I'm afraid His Royal Highness will really help him deal with them!"

Southern Guarding Prince did not mind and smiled. "Maybe he is saying that he is no longer the Lu Changkong that people can control. "

"Is that so?" Eunuch Hsiao sneered and said, "Then we will have to wait for him to give it a try!"

"How about I make a bet with father-in-law?"

Eunuch Hsiao did not think highly of Lu Changkong in his heart. He said straightforwardly, "What do you want to bet?"

Southern Guarding Prince said indifferently, "Bet on an Emperor's robe!"

Eunuch Hsiao's expression changed. "You mean. . . No, I can't afford to bet on it. " As he spoke, he looked at Yuan with a complicated expression.

"I'm still very interested in making a bet with father-in-law. Not everyone can become a Supreme Being, at least, it's hard to defy the Heaven's Will. If Lu Changkong really is a General Star. . . Then, the ownership of the imperial robe will naturally be decided. "

Eunuch Hsiao stood up and said with a calm expression. "If Lu Changkong has the order to return, I will bet with the prince. "

"Alright!" Southern Guarding Prince put down the teacup in his hand and said, "When Eunuch wants to bet, I will accompany you at any time!"

"Farewell!" Eunuch Hsiao acted as if he did not hear what the other party said. He pulled Yuan's hand and quickly walked out.
