Chapter 152: Killing ghosts and capturing souls

"Do I have a total of 2,500 people under my command now? That is, two armies and one battalion. So many people, as well as food, supplies, weapons, etc., must be counted one by one, and we must prevent the officers of the subordinates from deducting military pay. The whole day's work is more than ten times more than before!"

In a barracks by the southwest sea of ​​Jinghai Province, Hong Yi sat on the big chair of General Bear Skin. In front of him was an iron case, with piles of documents, as well as military talismans, tokens, etc.

Looking at the documents one by one, Hong Yi let out a long breath and rubbed his forehead, feeling a little frustrated.

After coming out of the Jinghai Army Camp, Hong Yi received a military order from the Marshal's Mansion, appointing him as the general of the Fifth Army, commanding two thousand troops to station the defense line southwest of the Jinghai Army Camp, and strictly control the territory within a radius of hundreds of miles on the sea and land coastlines.

The barracks of the Fifth Army were more than 200 miles away from the Jing Navy's camp. In other words, Hong Yi is now completely guarding a coastal defense line. Within a radius of 100 miles, he is the real boss, the local emperor, who can arrest merchant ships on the sea and inspect pirates in the coastal towns. Local officials have no right to control them.

The Jinghai Army's tens of thousands of soldiers were stationed in the barracks of dozens of miles in the radius of the commander's camp, and most of the rest were led by generals and distributed at various key points on the coastline to prevent pirates from ramming and running around.

The coastline in the south of Daqian is thousands of miles along the way, and it is impossible for the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Jinghai Army to be concentrated in one place.

"Brother Hong, you are completely inseparable now! Are you still worried about the food, grass and military pay when training the green camp in the past?" Chi Zhuiyang, who was standing beside Hong Yi, said.

"Why aren't you worried? Although Yan Zhen would not deduct my military pay, how much can the military pay be? If you want to train a strong soldier, the reward is not enough. In the past, there were only more than 300 people in a green camp, and I could still afford it. How many people are now? It's a full 2,55! This expense is a big deal."

Hong Yi raised his head.

"Why is Brother Hong just thinking about paying for his own soldiers? The children of nobles have never made this sense. The army is a bottomless pit, and no matter how much land is, it cannot be filled!" Chi Zhuiyang smiled and said, "We are guarding the coastal defense line two hundred miles southwest. There are dozens of officials and county magistrates from major towns along the way. Every year during the Chinese New Year and the festival, they have to work hard and give gifts. There are also big merchants, tea, salt, porcelain, silk, and merchant ships? Which one should not come to send filial piety? Otherwise, when we patrol the sea, we dare to confiscate their goods! Find their fault! I asked yesterday, it turned out that the general of the Fifth Army guarding the southwest defense line. The filial piety received every year is this number?"

Chi Zhuiyang flipped his five fingers: "Fifty thousand taels, 50,000 taels of silver! It is equivalent to the income of ten manors, which is private. It is not counted as those big merchants working on military and land during the New Year and the Festival. It is not counted as the generals' excuse to suppress bandits and secretly rob merchant ships from other countries at sea. I guess those generals, as long as they find a group of merchant ships from other countries, find an excuse to slander them as pirates, rob a group of people, kill people to silence them. They can make money immediately! The ancestors have never had to worry about food and clothing for generations. Over the years, our authentic merchants from Yunmeng transported slaves, horses, and bows and arrows from the sea. I don't know how much darkened they were! Otherwise, the sea trade would be so prosperous."

"There is such a thing?" Hong Yi murmured: "I thought the Jing Hai Army was quite strict, and Yan Zhen was also quite famous. I didn't expect that there were also people under his command to be bandits and rob merchant ships. Then, what's the difference between soldiers and bandits?"

"Soldiers are bandits, bandits are soldiers. Brother Hong, how many books have you read? Do you still understand this? Moreover, they robbed the merchants from other countries and falsely blamed them for bandits, and did not violate the law of the great cause. After the Ministry of War knew about it, they could only turn a blind eye." Chi Zhuiyang sneered coldly.

"That's true. Some Yunmeng merchants, nominally, were merchants. After landing, they were jealous of the prosperity of the surrounding towns in the coastal areas, and became bandits. They robbed and ran away on the boat. These things must be guarded against." Hong Yi thought about it, but it was really difficult to measure them. Even if they were measured by reason, they could not figure out the truth.

"Things in the world are originally a fool, and even the principles of sages cannot be measured. How can one measure the greatness of heaven and earth and the depth of Taoist hiding? Hahahaha... Hong Yi, just be with Guang and Chen."

Just as Hong Yi and Chi Zhuiyang were discussing, they laughed and walked in from outside the door.

When Hong Yi saw that he was the first military advisor of the Jinghai Army and the leader of the Qihun Sect, Mr. Duan Da walked in. Mr. Duan Da followed him with nine silver shark leather hoods wearing silver shark armor and a helmet. Only two eyes were exposed, and his feet were covered with silver shark leather boots. He was covered in silver gray.

At first glance, these nine people looked like the great silver-body gods condensed from mercury in Taoism.

Except for two eyes, the nine people were all wrapped in silver shark armor, which was simply invulnerable. Their hand-held war knives were exactly the same as Hong Yi's rebar sword, and they were obviously the highest-level weapon in the army.

In addition, everyone was holding a precious yellow horse, and the horse was hung with iron wood black bones and arrow bags. They were posing as if they were light cavalry attacking and hitting the yellow dragon.

However, Hong Yi was not surprised. What shocked him was that the aura of these nine people was all breathing for a long time! They were all innate masters! They were all innate masters from head to toe, wrapped in silver shark armor. The equipment was worth 50,000 to 60,000 taels of silver. In other words, the equipment of these nine people alone was equivalent to all taxes in a province and a year!

What is this concept?

"This is the real elite of our Jing Navy. It is one level higher than the Blood Shark Guard. The Whale Break, the Whale Break, which means that they have the power and martial arts skills to tear the sea whales in the sea." Mr. Duan Da looked at Hong Yi's surprised gaze, shook his fan and smiled slightly.

"Of course, this is just an exaggeration. The whale is the king of the sea. Unless it is a martial saint, you can compete with them in the sea with strength."

"How many whale-breaking dead soldiers are there under the command of the Grand Marshal?" Hong Yi asked a question that he shouldn't have asked.

"There is nothing to hide. There are eighteen dead soldiers in the ground-breaking whale under the command of the Grand Marshal. This is the strongest force cultivated by the Grand Marshal in ten years, and it is as famous as the "Eighteen Fire God Taibao" in the Imperial Guard of the Imperial Guard of Yujing." Mr. Duan looked at Hong Yi, and after a while, he said a real number.

"Is the 'Eighteen Fire God Taibao' of the Divine Machinery Camp of the Imperial Army?" Hong Yi's heart moved. The Divine Army's Divine Machinery Camp was Hong Xi's commander. Originally, Hong Yi thought that he had Lei Lie, Shanqiu, Wen Feiyan, Chi Zhuyang, Shen Tiezhu, Xiao Mu, and these six innate masters, the power around him expanded, nothing else, and he had a vague capital to compete with the Zhao family and even his father.

It was precisely because of this confidence that he brought his masters to the Grand Marshal's camp and shook Yan Zhen.

Now it seems that I am really a frog in the well.

The commander who commands tens of thousands of powerful soldiers is not a man without a strong foundation?

Not to mention the other strength of the Grand Marshal Yan Zhen, even this Mr. Duan and the eighteen Dead Swords of Whale Split can kill all his strength!

"Hong Xi has the eighteen Fire God Taibao under his command. Are they all innate masters? However, Lei Lie, Wen Feiyan, and Shanqiao are all innate tops of the unity of spirit and flesh. Fighting alone, you can fight with ordinary innate masters, you can use one-on-two or even three. I don't believe it. These whale-breaking dead men, such as Fire God Taibao, are innate tops of the unity of spirit and flesh. You must know that entering the innate is already difficult enough, and it is even more difficult to integrate spirit and flesh. I didn't see Zhui Yang following me to get so many adventures, or is it almost like the unity of spirit and flesh?" Hong Yi thought in his mind.

He was startled at first, but after thinking about it so carefully, he regained his flexible mind.

"But Yan Zhen has a strong foundation. Then the governor of Nanzhou Wei Taicang is probably more powerful, and the Daluo faction has a strong foundation! Not to mention the Marquis of Wu Wen's Mansion..."

"By the way. Mr. Duan Da is the first military advisor of the Jinghai Army and the head of a sect, and today he brought such a powerful elite as the Death Sword in the Whale to my Fifth Army camp. What's the point?"

Hong Yi thought for a long time and suddenly thought about what Mr. Duan came to his barracks to do.

"After and left, boil fragrant tea! Invite the Nine Guards Dead Men to the guest room and present the new five-color cloud tea. This is the new tea just picked in early autumn, with a strong and mellow fragrance." Hong Yi quickly greeted.

"Oh? No, the whale-breaking dead soldiers have rules. They never drink other people's water, nor eat other people's food, nor take other people's things. This is the dead rule set by the Grand Marshal. More than 300 young people were trained since childhood, and those who violated the Grand Marshal's regulations could not survive. Now there are only eighteen left. Hong Yi, don't let them make things difficult for them! Just treat them as wood."

Mr. Duan said a few words lightly. Although there was no intense language, Hong Yi was frightened and the bloody things contained in it were self-evident.

"Is the new land five-color cloud and mist tea? This is only produced on the Yulian Mountain in the Yaochi in Yinzhou, the five-color stone peak. The new tea is used as a palace tribute, and even the generals can hardly enjoy the blessing!" Mr. Duan sat down and looked at Hong Yi in surprise in a tone.

He was surprised by Hong Yi just now, but now Hong Yi really surprised him.

Hong Yi smiled but said nothing. After a while, a man in a strong suit, arrow boots, and warrior dressed, but without an Adam's apple, obviously a woman brought three cups of fragrant tea.

Among the three cups of fragrant tea, they were all served in crystal cups. The tea leaves were suspended in the middle, neither floating nor sinking. The circles of tea reflected the sunlight, and they actually showed five light colors: red, blue, green, purple and yellow, which were like rainbows in the sky.

When Mr. Duan saw it, he quickly put the fan on the table and couldn't wait to hold up the crystal cup. It was not because of the hotness. He took a sip and then let out a slap! He sighed, as if he was savoring it.

"Good tea! Good tea! If you can drink this tea every day, it will be worth it if you live ten years less!" After Mr. Duan recalled, his eyes flashed with intoxication, not pretending, but from the heart.

"Since that's the case, I'll give Mr. Duan a pound." Hong Yi smiled.

This five-color cloud and mist tea grows only between the cracks of the extremely high five-color stone mountains on the Yulian Mountain of Yaochi School. It grows by sucking nectar on the cliffs and is extremely difficult to pick. And the number is rare to be less than that of the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

This time when Hong Yi saved Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue sisters, there were three pounds of five-color cloud tea in the convoy for Prince and were all accepted by Hong Yi.

"You're serious!" Mr. Duan almost jumped up and stared at Hong Yi.

"Take it seriously! Yinyue, go and get a can of tea." Hong Yi ordered, and the Yinyue arrow boots holding the tea twisted and twisted out.

"Jiuqu Lian. Is she a member of the Yaochi Sect?" Mr. Duan's eyes became confused again, and Hong Yi naturally would not answer him again.

After a while, Yinyue took a small jade jar and placed it on the table. Hong Yi stretched out his hand: "Mr. Duan Da, this is the five-color cloud mist tea."

"Is it a five-color cloud tea! Or a new tea." Mr. Duan shivered a little, opened the lid of the jade jar, looked at it and then was afraid of running away, and hugged it in his arms like a baby, like a Mr. Dongbain.

"I owe you a favor!" After Mr. Duan took the tea, his eyes instantly became clear and he picked up the fan and played with it.

"Mr. Duan Da hasn't told me that this time the labor force mobilized many people, what's the price for me to do in my barracks? Or is the commander who has any new instructions?" Hong Yi said.

"Not all, it's because I want to communicate with Hong Yi, Taoism!" Mr. Duan fanned the fan with a fan, covering his face. Bang! He then closed the folding fan, "Besides, if you kill Wei Lei, Wei Taichang will never give up, so I came to you to guard against some things."

"Well said it, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that in addition to this meaning, there is also the meaning of surveillance me? Yes, it's true that Yan Zhen is not a fuel-efficient lamp. But is it a communication technique..." After hearing Mr. Duan Da's words, Hong Yi instantly guessed a lot of meanings in his heart.

"Is it true that I want to communicate Taoism? It's just my wish. My cultivation is still shallow. Mr. Duan is the leader of a sect with rich experience. I was just thinking of having Taoism to ask for advice from the master. In the mansion of the Grand Marshal, Mr. Duan used his soul to capture the soul and directly drew people's souls. It's really amazing. I wonder if I can talk to me?" Hong Yi smiled and said.

When Mr. Duan grabbed his hand, Hong Yi felt that his soul seemed to be caught and taken away from his body. Such methods were really weird. Even the black demon crow array in Xuantian Pavilion only suppressed the soul and forced it out of the human body. It was too incredible.

Hong Yi intuitively felt that this magical power was a super powerful spell!

"Soul Capture**? The Xuanyin Sword of My Qihun Sect's Soul Capture** is a secret sect. Even disciples will not teach it. Unless it is a robe and bowl, you have to wait until the test of loyalty is tested. It is the biggest killer weapon of my Qihun Sect." Mr. Duan looked at Hong Yi, as if he was looking at the naughty head, "I want you to tell you about the Supreme Taoist Taishang Alchemy and Nine Fire Flame Dragon Technique, can you explain it?"

"Oh?" Hong Yi opened his mouth, as if it was a fish coming out of water: "As long as there is enough profit, there is nothing wrong with it. If Mr. Duan took the three sutras of the Great Zen Temple to pass, present, and future, it may not be impossible to exchange the Taishang Alchemy Sutra."
