Chapter 711 Two Chosen Ones
The troops led by Bai Tu were left in Lulin City for garrison. The next morning, Zhou Xu led the personal guards led by Silk and the war horses of the Xianzhen Camp to Xianyang City.
These war horses have been carefully bred and given high-intensity training, so there is no fear of them getting lost in the wild.
In order to achieve efficiency, Zhou Xu and his companions changed horses every 50 kilometers.
It would take inferior horses five days to run the distance, but they managed to finish it in three days.
By the time they arrived outside Xianyang city, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Since they were not far from Xianyang City before nightfall, they simply made greater efforts and arrived there directly.
At this moment, except for some Xianyang City defenders who surrendered, all important positions of the city guards had been replaced by people from the Xianzhen Camp, so it was impossible for them not to recognize their king.
The group entered the city smoothly and handed over the war horses they brought to the Xianzhen Camp. During the trip, Xie Liancheng arranged for them to rest in the General's Mansion.
After days of riding, Zhou Xu had accumulated a lot of physical fatigue. As expected, he slept until noon on the new day.
After a simple meal, Silk walked in.
"Your Majesty, Xie Liancheng brought a man and a woman to see you."
"Let them in."
After getting permission, the two elven knights guarding the door let them in, and a man and a woman led by Jie Liancheng quickly walked into the house.
At that moment, Zhou Xu could clearly feel the other party's curious gaze falling on him.
At the same time, Jie Liancheng took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and saluted Zhou Xu.
"This humble general, Jie Liancheng, pays respect to His Majesty!"
Zhou Xu knew that Xie Liancheng was doing this for the two people behind him to see.
The two brothers naturally didn't need to do this in private, but when there were others around, they still had to follow the necessary procedures.
As expected, seeing that Jie Liancheng knelt down so quickly, the man and woman who followed him in also knelt down immediately after him.
"I pay my respects to the king!"
"No need to be polite."
After standing up, Xie Liancheng quickly moved aside to allow Zhou Xu to better observe the man and woman he brought in.
"My lord, these are the other two chosen ones that I told you about."
Xie Liancheng started introducing as he spoke.
"This is Liu Jiefang. He used to raise homing pigeons, and now he's in charge of this area as well. The homing pigeons here are all raised and trained by his communications department."
"This is Zhang Xuemei. She used to be in the geological exploration team. Now she is also responsible for geological exploration and ore identification."
Listening to Jie Liancheng's introduction, Zhou Xu had a tense face, but he couldn't help feeling happy in his heart.
As early as when he had just captured Huangsha City and discovered the lead and zinc mines outside the city, he was wondering whether there was a person here who knew how to identify the ore.
And Liu Jiefang, who knows how to raise homing pigeons, was an unexpected surprise!
After all, although people know about homing pigeons, people who have not studied it are completely in the dark about how to train them.
Now the appearance of these two chosen ones has undoubtedly solved two major problems for Zhou Xu.
"Would you two like to join our Great Zhou and serve us?"
The fact that the two of them followed Jie Liancheng here at this time had already been a statement of their stance to a large extent, and Zhou Xu was just going through the process.
Facing Zhou Xu's question at this time, both of them knew what was going on.
The two of them knelt down again with swift movements.
"I am willing to serve the king!"
After following Yan Sheng for these years, they have completely adapted to this era.
This also made them very clear that in this era, if you dared to disobey those in power, they could push you out of the Meridian Gate and behead you in public with just one word, without even having to make up a reason.
Fortunately, they have special positions. One of them usually concentrates on raising pigeons, and the other usually concentrates on geological exploration, finding mineral veins, and researching ores. They don't care about other things. They can stay out of it and stay away from the power struggle in the court. The emperor has no reason to be suspicious of them.
In some ways, their lives are much more comfortable than Jie Liancheng's.
Zhou Xu, who has successfully recruited two professional talents, is also full of joy.
"Please stand up quickly, both of you! With your help, our Great Zhou will surely become even more powerful!"
As he spoke, Zhou Xu personally helped the two of them up.
"I have a mantra that can confirm a person's attribute panel and further understand the situation. Do you mind if I confirm your conditions? This will also allow me to make better arrangements for you two."
When Zhang Xuemei heard this, a trace of nervousness flashed across her face, which was seen by Zhou Xu.
But Liu Jiefang felt that it didn't matter.
"Your Majesty, please confirm it."
After hearing this, Zhou Xu didn't bother to be polite with them and directly activated the Eye of Insight.
Judging from the five-dimensional attributes alone, Liu Jiefang is just an ordinary two-star ordinary person, but the talent of "pigeon breeder" provides him with special professional value, and now he is also a valuable professional talent.
As for Zhang Xuemei, she is an outstanding talent with three stars in single intelligence. Her talent is also "geological exploration", which is a perfect match for her major.
It is also worth mentioning here that these two people are not young anymore. Liu Jiefang is 59 years old, and Zhang Xuemei is 38 years old.
Just looking at it this way, there is nothing wrong with the attribute panels of these two people. They are just two professionals with matching expertise in their respective fields.
But Zhang Xuemei's slight nervousness at that time made him a little concerned.
[How about trying the 'Eye of Secrets'? ]
Although the 'Eye of Secrets' has not been formally tested since then, now that they have conquered Green Forest City and Xianyang City, Zhou Xu doesn't mind consuming some of the power of the mantra to try out his newly researched mantra.
[Eyes that pry into secrets! ]
In an instant, a strange light flashed in Zhou Xu's eyes, and his first glance fell on Li Xuemei, who had a strange look on her face before.
At that moment, just like when he activated the Eye of Insight in the past, a property panel unfolded in front of him, but it was different from the previous property panels...
Name: Zhang Xuemei Gender: Female Age: 38 Race: Human
Status: None
Mantra: 'add', 'hold'
Loyalty: 61 Life level: Mortal
Talent: Geological Exploration: There are many treasures hidden underground. If you look carefully, you will always find new ones! Bravery: ★★
Intelligence: ★★★ Spirit: ★★
Endurance: ★★
Command: ★★
Upon seeing this, Zhou Xu was stunned, and then an uncontrollable ecstasy surged from his heart.
[Fuck! This 'Eye of Secrets' is amazing! When I used the 'Eye of Insight' to look at this mantra column before, it clearly showed that it was not there, but why is it suddenly there now? And can I see things like loyalty now? What the hell is life level? ]
At this moment, while Zhou Xu was getting more information, he also had more questions.
