"Zhong Ting!"
Wu Ming looked down and called out solemnly.
"I'm here!"
Zhong Ting stepped forward and knelt down.
"I appoint you as the vice-captain of the team!"
"Yes, sir!"
In an instant, Wu Ming saw a mass of white Qi solidify above the man's head. He immediately knew that although birth charts did not equate to talent, he could at least secure his position.
"Niu Yong! You'll be the corporal of my bodyguards! Go and pick people! "
"Yuan Tai, you'll be the corporal and be in charge of a platoon!"
"He Zihai, you'll be the scribe of the platoon. You'll be in charge of logistics and recording merits!"
"The corporals of the platoon remain the same. I'll appoint a ten-man squad leader!"
…
Orders were issued in an orderly manner.
In Wu Ming's eyes, the luck of the entire team was more solid and stable than before. It was more organized, and the benefits it could provide him were greater.
"Bury the pot and cook! Cook all the cured meat from the generals. We'll have meat tonight! "
After all the chores were arranged, it was night time.
Wu Ming's orders were immediately met with cheers and even a little support. He could not help but laugh to himself. The Master's display of kindness and authority was here.
…
"I didn't expect … that you've really joined the Nine Mountains Army and even used it to cultivate!"
It was nightfall. The military law was enforced in the camp and it was heavily guarded. There were patrols and no other noises. Everything was quiet.
In the big tent, there was only a bean-sized light.
Xiao Di stared blankly at Wu Ming and then sighed. "Aren't you afraid of the backlash?"
In her eyes, Wu Ming was surrounded by a murderous aura and was connected to the Nine Mountains Army. It was as if he had sunk deep into a swamp.
Cultivators could absorb luck to improve their cultivation, but there was naturally a limit.
From then on, they would be bound together with the system. If the Nine Mountains Army was defeated now, Wu Ming would vomit blood and his foundation would be greatly damaged.
This was only because his cultivation was low. If it were Nan Shan Zhenren, he might even die.
However, Xiao Di was a smart person after all. She guessed, "Even if you have the secret technique to cut off fate and suppress the backlash, if you don't become a Spiritual Master, it's still a loss …"
After all, severing and suppressing them didn't mean dissolving them.
If he had the Dao foundation of a Perfected Person and a Celestial Master, he might be able to slowly trigger it and silently dispel it. However, Alchemy Masters were still a level away.
"To tell you the truth … I've exhausted all my merit points, but I've only obtained a technique to temporarily suppress the backlash!"
Wu Ming played with the sword in his hand and smiled. "But our mission is to assist the True King. Do we have a way out?"
Xiao Di was stunned.
Assisting a wise lord to become a king was almost like supporting the Dragon Court. It was indeed great karma and great karma. Once it was touched, it would be hard to break free.
He thought that he would not be tainted by karma just because he did not accept any official position. He was dreaming!
He smiled bitterly and curtsied, "Dao Brother is right!"
"Since I've entered this calamity, I can't avoid it. I can only move forward bravely. Only then will I have a chance of survival!"
This was Wu Ming's own understanding, and it was also the truth.
Xiao Di tilted her head and thought about it, but she shook her head. "Dao Brother is right. It's a pity that I'm not a man. Even if I want to fight, I'm powerless, unless …"
Naturally, women could not rule over a region and lead troops into battle. Their only choice was probably General Li's harem.
However, with a woman's temperament, she would probably not do that.
Wu Ming looked at Xiao Di's conflicted expression and only smiled. He did not say much.
There was a layer of meaning buried in his heart.
If supporting the Dragon Court failed, there would be a backlash. However, where would the backlash come from? It had to come from this world!
However, with the mighty figures from the Main God's Temple, he could just leave after completing his mission and leave this world. If the Heavenly Will and Earthly Qi wanted to bite him, would he be able to chase them to the Dazhou World?
Even if he went, the Heavenly Will of that world might not recognize the Heavenly Punishment of this world.
"However, for these Reincarnators, the Main God's Temple will kill them if they fail their mission. Thus, they won't even consider this problem …"
Wu Ming glanced at Xiao Di. "Young Master Yu, for example, will definitely join us and climb to the top without any fear … Only this newcomer will be blinded by a leaf and not see Mt. Tai. After my reminder, she should have thought it through …"
After waiting for a while, Xiao Di did not move and had no intention of going out. Wu Ming was a little depressed. "Miss Xiao Di?"
"Yes!"
Xiao Di answered softly. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked straight at Wu Ming with her star-like eyes. "I have a question that I would like to ask Dao Brother to answer!"
"Yes, go ahead!"
In the dim light, Wu Ming felt that this woman's demeanor was becoming more and more similar to Xiao Yu's. He could not help but speak.
"I have a younger sister named Xiao Yu … She died a few months ago for no reason …"
Xiao Di spoke slowly, but Wu Ming's heart skipped a beat. "Oh? Why did she die? "
"I don't know …"
A trace of pain appeared in Xiao Di's eyes. "With … my family's defense, it is impossible for outsiders to invade. After the incident, no traces were found. Even Xiao Yu's body did not have a trace of injury. However, her soul has disappeared, and even the gods cannot save her …"
"So, if you die in the Main God's Temple, your soul will really disappear in the real world!"
Wu Ming's heart skipped a beat. He knew that it was easy to kill with one's physical body, but this kind of silent and traceless method of dispersing one's soul was enough to scare people to death. Even the aristocratic families were the same.
"My family has some influence. After careful investigation, they could not find any traces of the real murderer!"
Xiao Di continued. "However, there are such strange deaths all over the world. This piqued my interest!"
"You have information about the world's criminal cases?" Wu Ming was secretly shocked by the strength of this family. This was at least the level of a county lord, or even higher. "Forgive me for my rudeness. May I know who you are?"
"Luo Shui Xie Family!"
Xiao Di, or rather, Xie Xiao Di, said.
Unfortunately, Wu Ming was a country bumpkin and had never heard of it. He only took note of it and prepared to check the family's genealogy when he returned.
"… With Xiao Yu's death, I naturally investigated more deeply. Unfortunately, I found nothing. Although these people died of the same cause, they were in different places and had no connection with each other …"
"In the end … I simply moved into Xiao Yu's' Carefree House 'and thought about it carefully. After a few months, I still could not find any clues. However, on the night before last, I felt an inexplicable summoning. I believe you know what happened next?"
Xie Xiao Di smiled bitterly. "At first, I thought it was the invasion of demons, or that I was blessed with merit, or that the Heavenly Court had received me … Unfortunately, when I came to this world, I found out that it was a powerful person from the Main God's Temple. I also understood the cause of Xiao Yu's death. It was this' erasure '!"
Her expression turned solemn as she bowed deeply to Wu Ming. "When you saw me, you were in a daze for a moment. I believe you must have seen Xiao Yu before. Please tell me!"
"So it's this!"
Wu Ming rubbed his nose. He did not expect that this woman would remember his moment of absent-mindedness.
In terms of intelligence and intelligence, Xie Xiao Di was not inferior to Xiao Yu. She had almost deduced all the truths.
After thinking about it, he did not have anything to hide, so he said, "It was a few months ago when I came into contact with the Main God's Temple for the first time …"
Xie Xiao Di listened quietly with her hands in her sleeves. She was obviously not calm.
When she heard that Xiao Yu had been killed by an arrow from the Hu Lu cavalry, large drops of crystal-clear tears rolled down her pretty face.
"My condolences …"
After Wu Ming finished speaking, he looked at the woman and said solemnly.
"Thank you, Brother Daoist, for your honesty and for burying Xiao Yu!"
Xie Xiao Di was silent for a long time before she stood up and bowed solemnly. Then, she walked out and looked at the moon outside the tent.
A sky-blue Talisman appeared in her hand.
"The Questioning Heart Talisman that I made did not have any reaction … It seems that what this person said was mostly true … Sister Xiao Yu …"
A tinge of disappointment appeared on his face, and it was filled with sorrow.
…
The next day, early morning.
The 50 men were led by their own sergeants. They lined up in rows and practiced formations and martial arts.
The morning, noon, and evening drills were major military events and could not be neglected.
At this moment, they raised their spears and charged forward. Led by Zhong Ting, they were very methodical and seemed to have formed a line, giving off the feeling of an impenetrable wall.
"Tsk tsk!"
Xiao Jizhi came over and looked at the troops, as well as the sergeant behind Wu Ming, Niu Yong, with envy. "How majestic! How ferocious! Brother, you are doing well, unlike me … I train every day. It's so annoying! "
"You are the commander's personal guard and have a bright future. If word gets out that you want to change with a captain, I'm afraid the entire Nine Mountains Army will be tempted …"
Wu Mingjiu said, "Even I have something to ask of you!"
"What's the matter? Just say it!" Xiao Jizhi patted his chest heroically.
"It's time for me to pay my respects to the commander, but I'm afraid there will be some obstacles. I need your help!"
Wu Ming said solemnly, but Xiao Jizhi laughed out loud.
…
"Your humble servant, Wu Ming, pays his respects to the Battalion Commander!"
Wu Ming was a Rank 9 Major Squad Commander, and his immediate superior was a Rank 8 Major Battalion Commander.
When he entered the tent, he immediately saluted meticulously.
"Hmph!"
His immediate superior was a middle-aged man with an imposing appearance and a murderous aura. His name was Jin Gang. He snorted coldly and said, "Get up! Squad Commander Wu is really busy. But that's right, he was promoted by the commander! "
The meaning of his words was a little sinister.
Wu Ming looked up and felt that this person's eyes were as sharp as swords. When he looked at them, it felt like a long spear was about to strike him.
"Another inauspicious star has appeared, and a natural general has appeared!"
"I've promoted him too much, and there are indeed people who are jealous. Maybe they've even slandered me!"
He immediately saluted again and said loudly, "Since I've entered the Nine Mountains Army, I only know how to follow my superior's orders!"
"You …"
Jin Gang was instantly enraged. Not only was it slanderous, but it was also because Wu Ming had taken the position that he had prepared for a trusted subordinate.
However, when he saw Xiao Jizhi's figure flash outside, his eyes flickered. "Fine! You have to work hard in the future! I'll go now! "
On the surface, he had accepted the gift and sent Wu Ming away, but he was prepared to secretly send this subordinate to the afterlife!
After all, military law was strict. In a war, when orders were given, how could he resist?
