It is made entirely of bronze, with a square seal surface, each side about three inches long, and is very thick.
The seal is carved with a swallow with spread wings. The swallow's tail is as sharp as a pair of scissors and its wings are spread out, giving people the feeling of flapping wings and flying.
The inscription on the seal is "Guerrilla General", with sharp strokes, symbolizing that the guerrilla general's subordinates often have the ability to move quickly and are good at carrying out surprise attacks.
Zhang Hei stroked the guerrilla general's seal with his thick fingers and pressed it hard.
Immediately, he put the seal into his arms.
Guan Hong didn't even look at it and just put it away.
Liu Er studied the seal in his hand and thought to himself, "General Youji's seal is carved with a swallow, and I heard that General Yingyang's seal has an eagle flapping its wings and swooping down."
Liu Er is a human-demon hybrid, and his four ears are proof of this. In other cultivation countries, it is quite rare to grant him such a basic identity and the position of general.
To put it nicely, they are relatives of the Blood Slaughter Dynasty. To put it bluntly, there are too many such relatives, and the influence of the Blood Slaughter Dynasty has long fallen into the quagmire.
Ning Zhuo was also looking at the seal in his hand.
This is the seal of his military advisor.
This seal is round, two inches in diameter, made of jade, and gives people a warm feeling.
The front of the seal is engraved with a bright moon and clouds, and the inscription "Military Advisor and Priest" is dignified and comfortable.
Holding the seal in his hand and infusing it with magic power, Ning Zhuo only made the seal glow slightly.
Zhang Hei saw this and said with a smile, "It's just a small order, what's the point of trying it? Only high-level general seals and official seals carry military tactics and official skills. We don't even have the guerrilla general seal, let alone your military advisor and chief wine seal."
Liu Er collected his thoughts and put the seal away. Seeing Ning Zhuo studying hard, he couldn't help but laugh: "Little brother Ning, if you want a better seal, you can do some merits and I will report to you. It won't be a problem for you to be promoted two or three levels."
Ning Zhuo quickly evaded the question: "This is just the first time I've obtained this kind of national weapon, so I'm just doing some research."
"I'm not very interested in the official seals of the two countries."
"Because my clan is located in the Nandou Kingdom, if I want to be an official or lead an army in the future, I must seek permission from the Nandou Kingdom."
"To be honest with you three generals, I am a close friend of Zhu Xuanji, a member of the royal family of Nandou Kingdom. He once wanted to grant me an official position."
"I know myself well, but I am still in the early stages of foundation building. I am young and have limited vision. I need more experience. It is difficult for me to take on big responsibilities now."
"This time I am relying on the three generals. I want to use them to participate in the battlefield and see if there is a chance to avenge my family against the Liudong Sect!"
"After that, I have to carry precious materials and conclude a trade with a certain powerful force to complete the family's mission."
"After that, I will travel to more places to broaden my horizons."
"I see." Guan Hong stroked his beard.
Zhang Hei stared, "Zhu Xuanji from the Southern Dou Kingdom? He is a famous detective in the country. I have heard of him."
Zhang Hei once again looked at Ning Zhuo with new eyes. He did not expect that the foundation-building cultivator in front of him actually had a close relationship with such a famous person.
When Liu Er heard this, the feeling of regret in his heart increased again.
Ning Zhuo is a man of rare talent. Not only is he wealthy, but he is also very good at wood magic. Although he is only in the early stages of building his foundation, his combat power is outstanding.
Now I heard that Ning Zhuo’s network of contacts is still very strong, and even Zhu Xuanji is optimistic about him!
Liu Er asked this because he wanted to win over Ning Zhuo and the Ning family and use them for his own benefit. As a result, Ning Zhuo's words made him realize that the young cultivator in front of him should not be underestimated. He was the son of the Ning family and had a deep relationship with the royal family of Nandou State. He had a great background and was not someone that could be recruited by someone like him.
"At least, I can't recruit him now!" Liu Er gritted his teeth secretly. At this moment, his desire for fame, wealth and power became stronger.
In the evening.
An army slowly marched forward and entered the Canglin Immortal City.
The light of the setting sun shone on their golden armor, making them look even more noble and majestic.
The Golden Halberd Army! One of the two imperial guards of the country, officially arrived at Canglin Immortal City.
Although the news had already spread throughout the city, the citizens could not help but look serious when they saw the strict military appearance with their own eyes, and marveled in their hearts: What a strong army! The military flags were high, fluttering in the evening breeze.
The entire army was on horseback, and the sound of horses' hooves was heavy and powerful.
Each soldier held a golden halberd in his hand, pointing straight up to the sky, forming a forest of spears and halberds, emitting an endless sharp aura.
Sun Gan, as the commander of the Golden Halberd Army, rode at the front of the team. His face was stern and his eyes were as sharp as a sword. He glanced around. The citizens subconsciously avoided his gaze and did not dare to look him in the face.
In sharp contrast to him is an official from two countries.
Although he was also riding a horse with his back straight, his demeanor was out of place with the Golden Halberd Army, and it was obvious at first glance that he was an outsider.
But no one dares to underestimate this official.
Because the official uniform he wore and the staff he held showed his identity—the imperial envoy! Unlike other armies, the Golden Halberd Army had the fewest men and was the most loyal and reliable, so they did not camp outside the city, but directly stationed in Canglin Immortal City.
The Lord of Xiancheng City had already arranged accommodation and took the initiative to welcome Sun Gan and the imperial envoy, and cordially invited them to attend the dinner tonight.
Sun Gan's face was as hard as steel, and he said that he had to settle the army first before he could attend the banquet.
The imperial envoy laughed loudly and requested that the heads of several armies be invited to the dinner so that he could build relationships with his colleagues.
Sun Gan snorted coldly when he heard this.
This was because the imperial envoy was named Zhao Xi, who was greedy by nature and would use his power to solicit bribes every time he went on a tour.
Sun Gan couldn't stand it, but Zhao Xi was trusted by the upper echelons of the two countries, so even though there were many impeachments, they often sent him on diplomatic missions to various places.
The dinner was quite sumptuous and full of the local characteristics of Canglin Fairy City.
The dinner was held in an inner hall and an outer hall.
"Young friend Ning Zhuo?" In the outer hall, Zhang Chongyi was surprised to find Ning Zhuo stepping in.
As a military strategist, Ning Zhuo is considered a high-ranking official in the army.
This is the benefit of joining the Three Generals Camp. In the early stages, all positions are empty, and you can get a high position with a little effort.
Ning Zhuo was also surprised to see Zhang Chongyi. After walking up to him and talking to him, he sat directly to Zhang Chongyi's left.
Ning Zhuo did not hide anything, nor did he need to hide anything.
"You joined the Three Generals' Camp and became their military advisor?" Zhang Chongyi exclaimed.
Although he was very famous, he was only a military doctor and could not participate in the decision-making of the Red Flower Battalion.
From this perspective, Ning Zhuo's status and position are already higher than his.
Ning Zhuo then sent a message to Zhang Chongyi, telling him that by chance, when he saw Liu, Guan and Zhang discussing the idea of organizing a new army, he had an idea and took the initiative to ask to join.
To this end, he also took the initiative to present three generals with three precious materials, namely the Xuanhuang Mother Stone, the Blood Demon Stone and the Netherworld Black Soil.
Zhang Chongyi immediately looked Ning Zhuo up and down, surprised at the amazing financial resources of this foundation-building cultivator.
Being able to give away such a treasure proves that Ning Zhuo at least has it in his hands! "It's a pity that Mulan didn't listen to me. It would have been great if he had recruited Ning Zhuo."
"well!"
"Her bowstring should be replaced, otherwise it will be difficult for her to display her extraordinary archery skills. If there is a certain Yuanying-level treasure..."
Zhang Chongyi kept shaking his head in his heart.
The evening banquet began.
Ning Zhuo and Zhang Chongyi talked while eating, toasted frequently, and recognized everyone at the table.
The door to the inner hall was suddenly pushed open.
Mulan walked out angrily and quickly.
"Zhao Xi, you are a parasite in my country!" Mulan shouted angrily, and his eyes swept around and immediately locked onto Zhang Chongyi.
She also noticed Ning Zhuo and her eyes lingered on the latter for a moment.
Mulan said immediately: "Uncle Zhang, let's go. Although this night banquet is great, the villains at the banquet really make me annoyed!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhang Zhongyi immediately stood up, his face showing anger: "General, I will follow you closely."
Although Zhang Zhongyi lamented in his heart and had expected this situation, it was not convenient for him to persuade Mulan at this moment. He immediately left the table to show his solidarity.
Not long after the banquet began, Mulan and Zhang Chongyi left the table in anger.
"Come on, keep eating and drinking." Zhao Xi shouted loudly to liven up the atmosphere.
Shuang Jing, Xu Dali and others quickly raised their glasses.
Liu Er was among them, but he just smiled bitterly. The "travel expenses" Zhao Xi had just proposed were simply too much.
At another table in the inner hall, Zhang Hei tilted his head back and was pouring wine into his mouth.
Guan Hong sat upright, stroking his long beard, paying close attention to the conversation at the head table, with a cold light flashing in the depths of his eyes.
After the banquet, the group of four were on their way home. Liu Er looked up at the bright moon in the night sky and sighed.
"Why do you look so sad, brother?" Zhang Hei wondered and burped.
Guan Hong snorted coldly and explained the whole story in detail.
Zhang Hei was furious: "The imperial envoy actually openly asked for bribes? How can this be possible! Are the two countries really so corrupt?"
"If we achieve great things in the future, will we be treated harshly?"
Liu Er waved his hand. "That won't happen. The order to recruit talents issued by the monarch of the two states personally concerns himself, the royal family, and the reputation of the two states. In this regard, we will definitely strive for fairness."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Liu Er was worried that Zhang Hei would become estranged because of this, as he wanted to make a big move in both countries.
Among the several surrounding cultivation countries, only two have such an opportunity, opening the door to promotion for a human-demon hybrid like him.
Zhang Hei muttered, "That's good!"
"I felt at first glance that this dog imperial envoy looked at people with squinting eyes. He was not a good person at first glance."
"Why should we care about him?"
"Although he is an imperial envoy, he is not our immediate superior. It's a good thing that we didn't beat him up. And you still want our money?"
"This is simply outrageous!"
"We are already short of money and we need to build an army."
Liu Er just sighed.
Ning Zhuo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, generals. I will handle the imperial envoy's affairs."
"According to my words, I will make him know that the noble character of the three generals cannot be insulted by money."
Liu Er looked at Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo gave Liu Er a meaningful smile.
Liu Er understood immediately and gave an order, asking Ning Zhuo to go on a mission to handle the matter.
"There is no time to lose. I will turn back and talk to the imperial envoy." Ning Zhuo said.
Liu Er agreed.
Zhang He also wanted to help Ning Zhuo: "The military advisor's cultivation is only at the foundation building level, how can he fight against the imperial envoy at the golden elixir level? Why don't I go with you to strengthen our momentum."
Ning Zhuo laughed and politely declined.
Liu Er took the initiative to hold Zhang Hei's arm, expressing his full trust in Ning Zhuo. He said that if he didn't believe Ning Zhuo could handle it alone, he would be underestimating our little brother.
Zhang Hei was frustrated by these words and had no choice but to watch Ning Zhu go back.
A moment later.
Ning Zhuo was smiling, and the imperial envoy Zhao Xi was also smiling.
In the light of the lamp, he kept looking at the Nascent Soul grade treasure in his hand, clicking his tongue.
"The three generals of the Third General Battalion are indeed outstanding."
"He who knows the times is a hero!"
Ning Zhuo took out another precious material.
"I have a lot of connections with Lord Zhang Chongyi, and I want to use him to treat my friend."
"Please, sir, show some leniency to the Red Flower Camp as well."
Zhao Xi looked at Ning Zhuo deeply and said, "Boy, there are some things that you, an outsider from Nandou Country, can't interfere in casually."
"General Mulan's trouble is much bigger than you think."
Ning Zhuo smiled: "I understand."
As he spoke, he took out another Nascent Soul-level treasure and placed it on the table: "Since it is a big trouble, I will naturally trouble you more. It is quite reasonable to give you another treasure!"
Zhao Xi stared, deeply shocked by Ning Zhuo's display of wealth and arrogance.
"The Ning family of Huoshixian City must be a powerful family!"
"Why did they just pass through Liangzhu Country in the past, but didn't take root there, and migrated to Nandou Country?"
"well……"
When Zhao Xi thought of this, his heart was filled with regret.
"How many precious materials does this kid have? Since he likes to meddle in other people's business..." This greedy desire was resolved as soon as it arose.
Human life hangs by a thread!
My Buddha Heart Demon Seal! Ning Zhuo smiled and was kind on the surface, but in fact he had always maintained these two methods.
"Master Zhao, I helped the Red Flower Camp only to show my goodwill to Zhang Chongyi."
"If possible, please give me a little convenience, Lord Zhao."
"I will never embarrass you, sir. I just need some cooperation..."
Zhao Xi was secretly influenced. After hearing Ning Zhuo's specific request, he nodded immediately: "Who made me like you? Don't worry, I promised you."
Ning Zhuo once again said that after the matter is accomplished, there will be a small token of appreciation.
Zhao Xi nodded repeatedly: "The Ning family has a profound knowledge and such family education, which really makes our generation admire them."
The next day.
Military supplies were distributed, but the Red Flower Battalion was the only one that was delayed in receiving them.
Mulan was furious and made a scene, but the monk in charge of military supplies was well prepared and came up with a perfect excuse, deliberately delaying the distribution time.
When Zhang Chongyi learned about this, he immediately sighed in his heart, knowing that it was the villain Zhao Xi who was causing trouble.
Ning Zhuo happened to come visiting and saw Zhang Chongyi looking worried, so he asked him the reason.
After learning about this, Ning Zhuo smiled and said to Zhang Chongyi: "I have sent money and goods on behalf of the Three Generals' Camp before, which has made Zhao Xi quite satisfied. I might as well go again today and ask the Imperial Envoy to show some mercy and I will make up for it with my own money."
After a while, Ning Zhuo left and came back.
Zhang Chongyi changed his attitude and took Ning Zhuo's arm to express his deep gratitude.
"Mulan has a stubborn personality, just like her father. If I take action, she will hate me, and I am afraid there will be a rift between us in the future. I am in a dilemma, but fortunately my friend Ning Zhuo came to my rescue."
Ning Zhuo said, "I also have selfish motives, Master Zhang. I want to help my friend."
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Zhongyi waved his hand, "This consultation is free of charge."
Ning Zhuo patted the Wanli Youlong on his waist and released Sun Lingtong.
At this moment, Sun Lingtong's forearms were also petrified.
He was not in a hurry, still laughing and looking calm.
Zhang Zhongyi asked doubtfully, "To save the little kid, we have to ask for a master of earth-moving skills. Have you forgotten that?"
Ning Zhuo bowed to Zhang Zhongyi and bowed slightly: "Don't be offended, Master Zhang. I am the master of earth-moving."
Zhang Zhongyi was stunned for a moment, and looked at the young man in white in front of him in disbelief: "You?!"
Ning Zhuo stood up straight, put his arms down, and smiled: "It's genuine."
Sun Lingtong: "Hehehe! Xiaozhuo, Doctor Zhang, please hurry up, I can't wait any longer."
