Soon, a female general lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.
She has a dignified and heroic face, with distinct facial features and an angular jawline that shows a strong temperament.
Her eyes were firm and sharp, her nose was high, and her lips were beautifully shaped, which were slightly pursed at this moment, revealing an unquestionable determination.
The female general tied her long black hair up into a ponytail, leaving a few strands of hair in front of her forehead, looking heroic.
She was tall and fit, with tight and well-proportioned muscles, showing the results of years of training and fighting. In particular, her pair of long legs were slender and powerful, and every step she took seemed crisp and full of power.
She was wearing a simple set of brass armor and a bright red cloak.
She wore a pair of black leather gloves, with brass metal thickening on the palms and fingertips. She also wore a pair of black leather high boots, which were both wear-resistant and non-slip. There were thick brass armor plates on the soles, uppers, and around the calves.
"Uncle Zhang, are you looking for me?" General Mulan spoke immediately.
Zhang Zhongyi nodded: "Mulan, there is a young hero who just came to see the doctor for his friend."
"This person is quite powerful and has a deep background. In particular, he only has the foundation-building cultivation level, but has the combat power of a golden elixir. He can be used as a strong supporter for you."
Ning Zhuo revealed the Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin, a definitely Jindan-level mechanical puppet.
It also showed that if one could find a cultivator who had reached the level of a Grandmaster of the Earth Element, it meant that he had a deep background and extensive network of contacts.
The road is injured.
He is not an ordinary person and he doesn't go to ordinary places. How could he get such an injury?
General Mulan immediately revealed a bitter smile: "Uncle Zhang, as the saying goes, all is fair in war. You just heard it, but as the leader of an army, I cannot just listen and believe it. I have to investigate first and confirm the identity of this Ning Zhuo."
Zhang Chongyi suddenly became anxious: "Niece Mulan, you are joining the army in place of your father, and there are too few people around you who can be used."
"General Mu has been ill for a long time. I don't know how many people in the court are coveting the position of general."
"You are now holding the seal of a general, but you are only at the Jindan level. You need help. The tasks assigned by the court are all arranged according to the Yuanying level."
"Canglin Immortal City is the rear area. You have been excluded and targeted for being stationed here. The White Jade Camp specifically set up camp opposite the Red Flower Camp and deliberately raised the recruitment fee to twice its original cost. It is full of malicious intent."
"Recently, our recruitment efforts have been ineffective. The level and size of the troops we have recruited have been declining."
"A young man like Ning Zhuo is a rare gem. If other military camps discover his potential, they will definitely fight for him."
"After all, he can be considered a Jindan-level fighter."
Mulan was silent for a moment, and then he said with determination: "Uncle Zhang, what you said makes sense. But this is not my style."
"My fame and honor must be earned by my own hands, with my bow and my horse."
"This is my Mulan's military strategy!"
The female general spoke with great force.
Zhang Zhongyi was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "You and your father, your personalities are exactly the same."
"But you have to know that this is a different time..."
Zhang Zhongyi was about to persuade him, but Mulan interrupted him with a cupped hand: "Uncle Zhang, if there is nothing else, I will go back to the main tent first. I still have a lot of military affairs to deal with."
After saying that, Mulan bowed, turned around, and walked straight out of the medical camp without looking back.
Ning Zhuo was sitting on the second floor of the restaurant, and through the window he could just see the city gate.
The city wall was built of huge bluestones, wide enough for two chariots to run side by side. On both sides of the city gate were towering towers, on which were placed mechanical crossbow carts, and soldiers were stationed. At the same time, from time to time, there were teams patrolling and coming in and out.
The city gate was a huge wooden door, as black as ink, with clear traces of growth rings. The bluestone floor in the city gate corridor had been worn flat and even slightly sunken after being trampled by countless people.
On the inside of the city gate, on both sides of the gate, there are many notices posted.
The largest and most conspicuous one is the recruitment order.
The evil spirits in Qianfeng Forest are rampant, disturbing the people. Now we organize an army to sweep away the evil and restore peace to the earth.
To this end, we are recruiting heroes from all over the world to fight against evil and promote righteousness.
Anyone with ambition can sign up to join the army. The king swears by the fate of the country and will reward people based on their military achievements, impartially and impartially! A foundation-building monk can join the army and get the rank of captain; a golden elixir monk can be directly appointed as a guerrilla general. The rest of the positions will be granted according to merit, and those who have made contributions will have their wives and children honored, bringing glory to their generations.
This is a great event of the righteous path, sweeping away all evil and restoring peace to our country. I hope that talented people will respond, serve the country, make great achievements, and restore peace to the world.
Below it are the seals of two kings.
Naturally, the most monks read this recruitment order.
Ning Zhuo was also standing by the second-floor window, watching silently.
I could hear the discussions of the drinkers and diners around me.
"If you want to join the army, you naturally want to choose the one with the highest pay. General Shuang Jing's White Jade Camp is the first choice!" The monk who spoke had a pair of small eyes that sparkled with shrewdness.
"Hmph." A monk with thick hair, rabbit ears and very large front teeth attracted attention.
He shook his head and said, "There are too many noblemen in the White Jade Camp. If we really want to talk about the atmosphere, General Xu Dali's Barbarian Demon Camp is more fair."
This statement immediately aroused rebuttal from others.
"Although the Barbarian Demon Camp has a large number of people, they are just a mob. They are still somewhat useful in fighting favorable battles and cleaning up the battlefield. If we really want to achieve great things, it has to be General Lu Chi's Fire Cloud Camp."
The bald monk shouted loudly: "As long as you have a fire spell, after entering the camp, you can attack the battlefield from a distance and kill countless people. Not only will it be safe, but you can also easily gain a lot of military merits."
"Hmph! What a bunch of greedy people." A young monk with a black mole on the corner of his mouth was indignant. He stood up, looked around, and raised his arms and shouted.
"If you really want to join the army, the best choice is the Red Flower Battalion!"
"Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just say that this Red Flower Camp was founded by General Mu and has made countless contributions to the kingdom."
"Right now, General Mu is ill in bed, and General Mulan is joining the army in his father's place. He needs our help. Joining the army is to serve the country, not just to think about rewards and military exploits. We are ashamed to be associated with such cultivators!"
Such provocative words immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the surrounding drinkers.
Thus, a quarrel broke out immediately.
Several groups of soldiers chose their own camps and started to curse each other. The representatives of the group included the sharp-eyed, big-toothed, bald-headed and mole-bearing youths, who quarreled until their faces turned red.
At this time, a local monk came out from the city gate. He was seven feet and six inches tall, with four ears and hands over his knees. He came to the recruitment order next to the inner city gate, stared for a long time, and sighed with emotion.
A strong man in the crowd said in dissatisfaction: "Why are you sighing? Be a real man and join the army!"
The local cultivator turned around and looked at the person who spoke. He saw that he was eight feet tall, with a short neck, and a face full of black beard that looked like steel needles. His aura was rolling and reaching his golden elixir.
The local monk asked, "May I ask your name, sir?"
"Hey!" Blackbeard laughed, "My surname is Zhang, my given name is Hei Zi Fei Sheng. I have just moved to Cang Lin Xian City. I like to make friends with heroes. I saw you sighing after looking at the list, so I made a statement."
The local monk sighed and said, "I am a descendant of the royal family of the Blood Slaughter Dynasty. My surname is Liu and I am the sixth child, so I am named Liu."
"Now I see that the kingdom wants to conquer Qianfenglin, and is determined to defeat the bandits and protect the people, but I regret that I am alone and helpless, so I sigh."
Zhang Hei, the man with the steel needle beard, laughed loudly: "I have a lot of money and my cultivation has reached the Golden Core level. Although your aura is concealed, you are probably of the same generation as me. How about we work together to accomplish great things?"
The local monk Liu Er was delighted when he heard this and immediately invited Zhang Hei: "Brother Zhang, you have good eyesight. Come, let's talk while we eat."
The two entered the hall, walked up the stairs, and passed the second floor.
The quarrel between the young man with sharp eyes, big buck teeth, bald head and the young man with mole naturally weakened a lot because of the arrival of the two Jindan monks.
Liu Er and Zhang Hei came to the third floor, found a table and sat down, eating and talking.
During the conversation, a dusty big man flew in from the third-floor window of the restaurant and shouted, "Bartender, give me some wine quickly. I'm in a hurry to join the army outside the city."
Seeing this big man with a golden elixir aura, nine feet tall, eight feet long beard, almost down to his feet, and a ruddy face, Liu Er invited him, "My brave man, we two want to join the army, and since we are on the same path, why don't we have a drink first?"
Upon seeing this, the Jindan man glanced at the two of them and readily agreed.
After he sat down, he introduced himself: "My surname is Guan, my name is Hong, my courtesy name is Maicheng, I like the Spring and Autumn Art of War the most, and I have studied it a lot. This time I heard that the two countries have a large army and are going to start a war, so I took the initiative to apply to test what I have learned in the Art of War."
Although the three met for the first time, they got along better and better as they talked.
After three rounds of toasting, the atmosphere between the three became even more heated.

Ning Zhuo took out the white jade wine and walked over: "Three seniors, my name is Ning Zhuo, from the Ning family of Huoshixian City in Nandou Country."
"It just so happens that I also want to join the army to avenge my family."
"In the past, the Six Cave Sects of Qianfeng Forest broke their agreement and plotted against my clan, almost putting everyone in my clan to death. I am small and weak, and was thinking about which military camp to join. Seeing that the three adults are full of heroic spirit and are definitely not ordinary golden elixirs, I want to come and attach myself to you. I hope the three adults will take me in."
Liu Er, Zhang Hei and Guan Hong looked at each other.
They originally wanted to form a group and join a military camp, but from what Ning Zhuo said, it seemed that they were determined to set up their own camp.
Human life hangs by a thread!
"Huh?" Ning Zhu's heart was shocked. The hanging thread fell on Zhang Hei and Guan Hong's heads, but it missed the mark on Liu Er's head.
It fell again and shifted away again.
Ning Zhuo quickly withdrew his hand.
I am the Buddha's Heart Demon Seal! He secretly influenced Zhang Hei and Guan Hong.
Guan Hong stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "According to the order to recruit talented people, those of us who join the army at the Jindan level will have the position of guerrilla general."
"Although the guerrilla general is a general of miscellaneous titles, he can indeed command an army."
Ning Zhuo smiled and interjected, "The three generals are so heroic and powerful. I only saw one of them and I deeply believe that only a man who leads an army alone is worthy of the three generals!"
Zhang Hei laughed loudly: "Well said! If the three of us work together to lead an army, we can not only take care of each other, but also be more free and not subject to too many constraints. Often on the battlefield, we can also advance and retreat freely according to our wishes and gain more military merits."
Liu Er pondered in silence.
Ning Zhuo said, "Generals, why don't you drink and talk at the same time? This is the unique Ice Jade Wine of my family."
"Good wine goes well with heroes. The ice jade wine has an icy and refreshing taste, which perfectly complements the heroic spirit of the three generals!"
"Please allow me to pour wine for the three generals."
Liu Er hesitated, Guan Hong was proud, and Zhang Hei laughed: "Boy, if the wine tastes good, we will accept you!"
Ning Zhuo poured wine for the three of them one after another.
The Ice Jade Wine was indeed unique. After tasting it, the three Jindan cultivators nodded in agreement.
The three of them continued to communicate, and Ning Zhuo stood aside, pouring wine for them from time to time and occasionally interjecting, pushing the already warm atmosphere to a new level.
With Ning Zhuo's help, the three of them felt that they got along better and better the more they drank, and they felt that they had met too late.
Zhang Hei said: "I bought a manor in Canglin Fairy City. There is a pear garden behind the manor, and the pear flowers are in full bloom now."
"Why don't the three of us go to the Pear Garden, offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and from now on become brothers of different surnames, work together, and then we can plan for great things."
Liu Er and Guan Hong said in unison: "Okay!"
Ning Zhuo high-fived him and said, "Such a gracious and elegant event, please allow me to be a witness."
"You talk nicely, kid. I'll take you there." Zhang Hei nodded, grabbed Ning Zhuo's collar, took a big step, and flew out of the window.
Guan Hong followed closely behind, and Liu Er was the last to leave. Before leaving, he took out the spirit stone and placed it on the table.
The three of them came to the Pear Garden.
Zhang Hei immediately asked his servants to prepare sacrificial offerings such as black cattle and white horses, and then burned incense.
Seeing the young man Ning Zhuo in white standing beside him, Zhang Heihao was excited: "Boy, you and I have a good impression of each other. Why don't we worship together today and become brothers?"
Ning Zhu's heart skipped a beat, but he appeared happy on the surface. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Liu Er cough.
Guan Hong gave Ning Zhuo a sidelong look of contempt and said, "How can a mere foundation-building cultivator compare to a golden elixir cultivator like us?"
Seeing that the two were unhappy, Zhang Hei just laughed and waved his hand at Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but appeared very disappointed.
Afterwards, Liu, Guan and Zhang knelt down together and swore in unison: "Liu Er, Guan Hong and Zhang Hei, although we have different surnames, since we have become brothers, we will work together to help the poor and the needy, to serve the country and to protect the people. We do not ask to be born on the same day, but only to die on the same day. The heavens and the earth will bear witness to my heart. If I betray my loyalty and forget my gratitude, I will be killed by both heaven and man!"
The oath took effect, and the three of them looked at each other and laughed.
Zhang Hei said: "Although we are brothers, we still have to distinguish who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother."
Zhang Hei’s manor is quite high-end and includes a martial arts training ground.
The three of them left Ning Zhuo outside and went into the martial arts arena to have some sparring sessions.
A moment later, the three of them came out to the martial arts arena together, and the winner was determined.
Liu Er is the eldest brother, Guan Hong is the second younger brother, and Zhang Hei is the third younger brother.
Liu Er looked embarrassed and took the initiative to say: "Right now, we have to consider recruiting soldiers. However, I am alone and have little money, so my three brothers can get together."
Zhang Hei laughed loudly and pointed his finger at the surroundings: "I have quite a bit of wealth, I can help. How much can I spend on recruiting soldiers?"
Guan Hong stroked his beard and reported a number.
Zhang Hei's expression froze for a moment.
Ning Zhuo stepped forward and said, "Three generals, I am from the Ning family and would like to give you some precious materials."
As he spoke, he took out the Xuanhuang Mother Stone, the Blood Demon Stone, and the Netherworld Black Soil.
These are the precious materials obtained from the corpse of the old monster in the stone, each of them is at the Nascent Soul level.
"I have quite a bit of wealth... huh?" Zhang Hei was about to refuse, not thinking that Ning Zhuo, who had only established his foundation, could come up with anything good, but when he saw this, his eyes bulged.
Guan Hong's action of stroking his beard also froze in the middle.
Liu Er was also shocked and looked at Ning Zhuo with new eyes. At the same time, he began to regret that he should have brought Ning Zhuo along to become sworn brothers with him! (End of this chapter)
