A body of strange black fish scale soft armor, covered with a cyan battle robe. This was the standard equipment of the Admiral of Zhonghe Prefecture, General Li Yuan's personal guard.
As the Admiral of Zhonghe Prefecture, Li Yuan had a total of 36 personal guards, which formed a personal guard camp.
Junior Leopard had been Li Yuan's personal guard for a month. His days were comfortable. In fact, as the personal guard of a general, it was impossible for his days not to be comfortable.
The so-called personal guard, to put it bluntly, was a bodyguard, Li Yuan's bodyguard.
Li Yuan was the Admiral of Zhonghe Prefecture, in charge of the military affairs of Zhonghe Prefecture. In other words, he wanted to be the local military commander in the world of Junior Leopard's previous life. In this world, he had more power as a commander. In theory, personal guards like Junior Leopard had to follow Li Yuan when he went out to ensure his safety. However, when General Li had something to do, it was fine to bring the personal guard camp out. But he couldn't always have 36 personal guards by his side, right?
This was a little too ostentatious.
Li Yuan was not a person who liked to show off. Therefore, on normal days, he would only have six personal guards by his side. The 36 people in the personal guard camp would rotate every six days. It was quite easy.
Of course, not being by his side didn't mean that there was nothing for him to do. In the days when they were not rotated, the personal guard camp was training most of the time.
Li Yuan was a Level Three official of the imperial court. He was a general. Naturally, his subordinates were not like ordinary Jianghu people. The martial arts world was unruly. When they met an enemy, they would fight randomly. Especially his personal guard camp, the most important thing was cooperation. Junior Leopard was not good at cooperating with others.
He was used to being alone. Therefore, at the beginning, he was not used to it.
After a month, he finally got used to it.
The personal guard camp had two main officers, one chief and one deputy. They were both experts of the Bone-Forging Realm. The chief was called Wang Lei, a Level Five expert who was good at using a long spear. The deputy chief was Qi Fei, a Level Four expert who used a pair of Dragon Teeth Halberds.
The rest of the 34 people, including Junior Leopard, were all at Level Three.
The personal guard camp had a separate barracks, which was in the courtyard of the Admiral Mansion. When he was free, he would practice various kinds of cooperative battle formations with the other members of the personal guard camp, and he benefited a lot from it.
The personal guards of the personal guard camp had a good attitude towards Junior Leopard. There was no melodramatic situation of veterans bullying newbies like in American movies. This was because this was the personal guard camp. The personal guards were naturally the trusted aides of the general. They were all carefully selected by Li Yuan. Naturally, they understood the severity of the situation and could see things clearly. Secondly, the powerful attack power and strength that Junior Leopard displayed when he attacked Zhonghejun City were all seen by these personal guards. Naturally, they would not be stupid enough to find trouble with such a killing talent. That was simply making trouble for themselves.
Therefore, they welcomed Junior Leopard to join them. After all, a strong comrade often meant more protection for their lives.
Of course, he tried his best to teach Junior Leopard.
Therefore, Junior Leopard gained a lot of benefits.
What surprised him the most was that in this personal guard camp, he actually obtained a complete set of hammering skills whose power was no less than the Wu Family's Wild Hammering Skill.
Flipping Sky Hammer!
This Flipping Sky Hammer Skill was originally a martial arts technique in the Great Jin Royal Family's arsenal. 300 years ago, it was bestowed by Emperor Wu to General Zhou Ang. Since then, it has been spread to the army. However, this hammering skill is too profound and has high requirements for the practitioner. In the past 300 years, except for General Zhou Ang, no one else succeeded in practicing it. Gradually, no one cared about it.
Thinking about it, most of the weapons in the army were sabers and spears. The most important was the saber, because it was the easiest to learn and also the most destructive weapon in the initial stage. Therefore, the saber was one of the standard weapons in the army. As for the hammer, it was originally an unpopular weapon. In addition, it also had high requirements for the user. Therefore, ordinary soldiers would not use a hammer at all.
In the army, the one who could really choose his own weapon was only the general.
Generally, there were three origins for a general. The first one was an aristocratic family or the imperial court, which was a legitimate origin. The second one was an ordinary soldier, which was also a legitimate origin. The third one was from Jianghu or the Military Camp.
Because the hammer was an unpopular weapon, those generals from the imperial court or aristocratic families basically would not use it. As for those who were born as ordinary soldiers, they had long been used to holding sabers and swords. Why would they change to using a hammer?
People in Jianghu who were born in the Military Camp also did not use this weapon because this weapon was too unpopular. Even if they used this kind of weapon, they generally would not live to the day of meteoric success. Besides, no matter what, this Flipping Sky Hammer was an extremely profound hammering skill. Although it was circulated in the army, not everyone knew it. Only those generals with background and strength could possibly come into contact with it, such as Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was born in the Li Family of Pingzhou. He had been brave for generations and had a deep foundation in the army. It was not difficult for him to get the cultivation method of the Flipping Sky Hammer. It was just that he had not found a suitable person to teach him the hammering skill and win him over. Junior Leopard, on the other hand, was extremely valuable. He used a useless cultivation method to win over a personal guard with a bright future. No matter what, it was a very cost-effective thing.
Junior Leopard was naturally very grateful for this, at least on the surface.
In the personal guard camp, although there was a lot of time to practice martial arts, it did not take up all of the personal guard's time. They would only be on duty once every six days, so naturally they had a lot of free time. Moreover, during this time, Junior Leopard could freely use it. In the beginning, he was very busy. But now that a month had passed, he was actually free.
It was his first time coming to Zhonghe Prefecture. In addition to reporting to the Admiral Mansion, he also had to make arrangements for Wang Tianlei's family. His brother-in-law really followed him to Zhonghe Prefecture.
Junior Leopard naturally had to make arrangements for him. Fortunately, Wang Tianlei himself was a very opinionated person, so Junior Leopard did not need to worry too much. He only needed to provide funds.
Wang Tianlei quickly found a house in Zhonghe City and brought Junior Leopard's sister and his nephew to live in it.
On the other hand, Jin Nanqing also secretly sent over the medicinal herbs that belonged to Junior Leopard. A total of two carts were disguised as food and sent into the city. Fortunately, Wang Tianlei used the money that Junior Leopard gave him to open a grain store in Zhonghe City. Thus, no one found out the flaw.
As for why Wang Tianlei wanted to open a grain store, it was a long story. To put it simply, he had a comrade whose family was a grain merchant. Moreover, it was the grain business in Qianzhou. Wang Tianlei used his connections and Junior Leopard's funds to open a not-so-small grain store in Zhonghe City.
As for whether there would be any difficulties for outsiders to open a grain store in Zhonghe City, or whether the local bullies would come to collect protection fees, Wang Tianlei did not even consider it. Zhonghe City had just been captured by the Sect of Flame half a year ago. After dozens of days of siege and siege, except for a few shops, such as the Wu's ironware shop, the rest were almost burnt down. Now Zhonghe City was already destitute and there were not many merchants. The Governor of Zhonghe City was now like those local leaders in Junior Leopard's previous life, frantically trying to increase the local GDP. For a new merchant like Wang Tianlei, he naturally treated him courteously. In addition, Junior Leopard was Li Yuan's bodyguard and the person who made the greatest contribution in recapturing Zhonghe City. These factors added up to give Wang Tianlei great convenience. Wang Tianlei could safely start a grain business in Zhonghe City. At the same time, Junior Leopard could be considered to have a home in Zhonghe City. He did not need to live in the small room in the Admiral Mansion when he had nothing to do. He always felt restricted. In addition, he now had two carts of medicinal herbs and his strength had reached the Full Closure of the Skin-Toughening Realm. Naturally, he could not wait to refine the Bone-Forging Pill and quickly forge his bones. There was no chance for him to stay in the General Mansion.
"Little Shiba, you're not young anymore. Shouldn't you think about finding a wife?" Sitting by the stove, Zhou Hua said to Junior Leopard while sewing clothes with her big belly. "Before I came here, my mother told me to find you a good wife!"
Junior Leopard laughed. He cursed himself in his heart. Why did he think of coming here to see his sister? As a result, he was directly taken into the house and bombarded by her. What a miscalculation!
"Alright, Hua, stop talking. Every time Junior Leopard comes back, you keep nagging him. Be careful that he gets scared of your nagging and doesn't come back next time!"
"How dare he!" Zhou Hua rolled her eyes at Wang Tianlei and stared at Junior Leopard fiercely. "Don't think that you can disobey me now that you've grown up!"
"No, no, of course not!" Junior Leopard said quickly. "By the way, sister, I have something else to do. I can't stay here with you!"
"Alright, alright, go. I know you're annoying me!"
"Hehe!" Junior Leopard chuckled and pulled Wang Tianlei out of the room in a hurry.
"It seems that I really have to come back less next time. Sister nags me every time!"
"If you don't want to listen to her nagging, just listen to her and find a wife. Then she'll stop nagging!"
"I don't have time now!" Junior Leopard shook his head with a bitter smile. "By the way, brother-in-law, General Li is going to the drill ground tomorrow. I guess I won't be back for a few days. Please take care of Little Du!"
"It doesn't matter. Business is more important!" Wang Tianlei said, "I'm here. Besides, does it matter whether you come back or not?"
Both of them laughed.

The drill ground martial arts drill was a tradition that had been passed down since ancient times. In fact, it was similar to the inspection of the army in later generations. There was nothing much to see. However, the drill ground martial arts drill was different from usual times. The personal guard camp had to be complete. Only then could they have the dignity of a general.
Among Li Yuan's personal guards, Junior Leopard was the smallest and shortest. Therefore, he was at the edge of the entire personal guard camp. Two silver hammers hung on the horse's back. Apart from the black fish scale armor and the green robe that covered his body, he also wore a black helmet. Riding on the horse, he looked quite awe-inspiring.
The Admiral Mansion and the drill ground were not too close. One was in the east of the city while the other was in the west. Adding to the fact that it was morning, there were many pedestrians on the road. This group of people were all riding horses, occupying most of the road. Therefore, even though they were riding horses, their speed was not fast.
Junior Leopard, who had participated in several martial arts drills, was not surprised by this. Just as he was leisurely riding on the horse, he suddenly felt a trace of warning.
"Eh?!" Junior Leopard's muscles slightly stiffened. His left hand that was grabbing the horse's reins loosened and rested on the handle of the hammer on the horse's back.
Suddenly, Junior Leopard heard a slight vibration of a bowstring.
"Xiu!"
The silver light was accompanied by a whistling sound, breaking through the air and attacking.
The target was Li Yuan.
