"Master, the Marquis of Yong 'an is here!"
Chang 'an City West, Duan Residence.
Duan Zhixuan, who had just finished his morning court session, was preparing to put on his armor and head to the army camp. At this moment, a servant suddenly rushed into the backyard and bowed.
"Oh? Where is he? "
Duan Zhixuan raised his eyebrows, secretly guessing the purpose of Li Zexuan's visit. At the same time, he asked.
"Master, this old servant has invited the Marquis of Yong 'an to the front hall for tea!"
The servant bowed and said.
Duan Zhixuan nodded and said, "Mm! You have done well! Go and tell the Marquis of Yong 'an, this old man will be there soon! "
Although Li Zexuan was only a Marquis, he had an entire province as his fief. Furthermore, he was also the provincial governor of a province. He could be considered as a high ranking official of the border. His status was no longer the same as before. Now, if he were to be rejected by the Duan Residence's servant, it would indeed be very inappropriate!
"Yes!"
The servant obeyed and left.
Duan Zhixuan could only hang the armor that he had just taken off on the wooden rack at the side. Dressed in his normal clothes, he left the room.
"Hehe! How did Marquis have the time to visit this Duan Residence today? "
In the Duan Residence's main hall, Li Zexuan sat quietly on a wooden chair. The tea on the side table emitted a faint fragrance, but he did not touch it. He closed his eyes and rested.
Suddenly, a burst of hearty laughter came from outside the room. Following that, Duan Zhixuan walked in with majestic steps. Li Zexuan's eyes suddenly opened. Then, he hurriedly stood up and went forward to greet him with cupped fists and said, "This subordinate came uninvited, I hope General Duan will not blame me!"
"This subordinate ~?"
Duan Zhixuan, who had originally planned to exchange a few pleasantries with Li Zexuan, couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this. Then, his expression became somewhat interesting. "Marquis, are you planning to join the army after dealing with the external affairs?"
Duan Zhixuan was not stupid. In fact, to be able to get to this position, no one was stupid. Almost instantly, he understood the crux of the matter. More than a month ago, Li Zexuan was appointed as the Black Armored Army Adjutant. However, due to the Academy's affairs and later on going north to eliminate the locusts, he did not go to the army... Now that Li Zexuan claimed to be his subordinate, he was obviously prepared to join the army. to.
Although Li Zexuan was now calling himself Duan Zhixuan's subordinate, Duan Zhixuan could see that Li Zexuan was neither servile nor overbearing. His aura was even restrained, making him seem even more unfathomable!
In comparison, Duan Zhixuan was more like a subordinate!
Duan Zhixuan could not help but narrow his eyes. They had not seen each other for more than a month, but Li Zexuan's temperament had changed so much. Although he did not actively release his aura, the restrained aura made Duan Zhixuan feel more unfathomable!
"He must have made a breakthrough in his martial arts realm. At least, his current martial arts realm is not lower than mine!"
This was Duan Zhixuan's subconscious judgment!
Many people knew about the battle at Longmen Pass in the north, but not many people knew about the details of the battle. Li Zexuan benefited from the disaster and broke through to the Grand Master Late-stage in that battle, and even fewer people knew about this!
However, Duan Zhixuan could tell that Li Zexuan had made a breakthrough in his realm from just one encounter, mainly because Duan Zhixuan's martial arts attainment was also profound!
"Yes! I have arranged the matters at the academy for the time being. More importantly, the new batch of armor needed by the Black Armored Army has been completed by the Wonderful Pavilion workshop. I plan to bring this batch of armor to the barracks tomorrow! In addition, since I will be going to the barracks tomorrow, General Duan, please don't refer to me by my title in the future. Just call me by my name! "
Li Zexuan clasped his fists and said.
Duan Zhixuan was the boss of the Black Armored Army, err, no, to be precise, he was the second in command. The boss of the Black Armored Army was always Li Zexuan. To put it bluntly, Li Zexuan was here today to "bow to the boss". After all, he knew that the "third in command" of the Black Armored Army, Qiu Xinggong, had always disliked him. How could he not curry favor before entering the barracks?
It was not that he was snobbish. The main reason was that he did not want to fight for power with Qiu Xinggong. He only wanted to raise the combat strength of the Black Armored Army to a higher level so that the Tang Empire would have a greater chance of defeating the Turks. After completing his mission, even if Qiu Xinggong did not allow him to leave, he would still resign from Li Zexuan!
His life's dream was not to join the army or fight on the battlefield. However, the life he pursued required a stable environment!
In his opinion, with Duan Zhixuan's "protection", he would at least be safe in the Black Armored Army. Thus, he was more humble today. Putting this aside, Duan Zhixuan was a person worthy of respect. This person had also made great contributions to the establishment of the Li Tang Empire!
Duan Zhixuan's eyes flashed and he immediately recovered from his deep thoughts. He nodded and said, "Alright! Since Adjunct Li is about to return, I will naturally welcome you! Tomorrow morning, the soldiers will be called out. I hope Adjunct Li can arrive on time! "
Duan Zhixuan had been in the army for more than a decade and was a straightforward person. Since Li Zexuan was willing to return to the army at this time, he was naturally more than happy to oblige. Disregarding everything else, Li Zexuan's terrifying martial arts prowess was a force to be reckoned with for the Black Armored Troops.
Although the military had never advocated individual strength, it still depended on the level of the individual's strength. At present, no army could ignore a martial artist at the Grandmaster Realm. If a martial artist at the Grandmaster Realm also knew how to lead troops and the art of war, it would undoubtedly be a headache for the enemy!
In addition, Li Zexuan was not an ordinary Martial Scholar. To be able to face the Martial Scholar Wu Jie head on and survive, Duan Zhixuan knew that if he were in Li Zexuan's shoes, he would not have such strength!
Thus, in terms of individual strength, Li Zexuan was not any weaker than him, the commander of the Black Armored Army!
Not to mention, Li Zexuan had brought five thousand new sets of armor to the Black Armored Army. Duan Zhixuan had personally experienced the power of these new sets of armor, and he was very 'greedy' for them!
Therefore, Li Zexuan's arrival would undoubtedly raise the strength of the Black Armored Army to another level!
"This general obeys! Tomorrow morning, I will definitely not be late! "
Seeing Duan Zhixuan's decisiveness, Li Zexuan also cupped his fists and accepted the order.
"Good! Then this general will wait for Adjunct Li in the camp tomorrow! "
Duan Zhixuan looked at Li Zexuan with appreciation and said in a clear voice.
"Yes!"
After discussing official matters, the two exchanged a few words of greeting before Li Zexuan said his goodbyes. Because he could see that Duan Zhixuan seemed to have something to do, he tactfully took the initiative to say his goodbyes. It just so happened that he had to go to the army camp tomorrow and had to go back today to prepare.
