"The dragon energy in the Marquis Suihou Pearl is sufficient for me to cultivate to the level of a Perfected Person, and I still have some left over... However, there's no rush!"
Time was of the essence, and Wu Ming finally made up his mind. "I'll head to the prefecture right now!"
After this mission, he was no longer the ignorant fool he once was.
Not only had he advanced to the level of a sorcerer, he had also become much more proficient in the Aura Divination Art. On top of that, he had a large number of treasures with him!
If he were to head to the prefecture now, he would have to check on the luck of the third generation of the Wang Clan!
So what if he was the governor? As long as there was a flaw in his luck, he would be able to break through it!
Knock knock!
At this moment, Wu Ming's expression changed.
A series of knocking sounds came from the window, as though a bird was pecking at him.
He got up and opened the window. A small green paper crane flew in. It was still glowing with the brilliance of a spell.
"This is a communication technique... My sister, is she too lazy to send a message after knowing that I've become a daoist..."
Wu Ming burst into laughter. In truth, he knew that not only was this method of communication more convenient, it was also more discreet.
"Jiji..."
The paper crane chirped as it circled around Wu Ming. Then, it nodded its head and said, "Brother, listen well..."
Just like that, Wu Qing's voice could be heard.
Wu Ming had a solemn expression on his face as he waited for Wu Qing to finish speaking. He watched as the paper crane spontaneously combusted into ashes. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Sister Wu Qing wants me to go to the county capital to look for someone …"
"It sounds like she's entrusting an orphan to me! It seems like as the date draws closer, something is amiss? "
Thinking of this, his heart tightened. At the same time, he felt a little curious. "She said that it's a close friend of hers who is trustworthy... Tsk tsk, it's rare to see a woman who wields authority..."
Wu Ming stroked his chin.
He knew Wu Qing's personality well. A dragon would never befriend a snake. Given her personality, the woman she befriended would definitely not be the kind of woman who only knew how to put on makeup and take care of her husband and children.
Furthermore, she wielded great power.
Not just anyone would be able to protect a certain person or clan from the governor.
"Could it be the daughter of the governor? Or Madam? "
Wu Ming couldn't help but guess, "It just so happens that I'm going to the county capital, it saves me a lot of effort …"
…
At that moment, he had nothing to do, so he made some preparations. He handed over the matters of the fort to Feng Han, Zhao Song, and Steward Wu to manage together, while he himself sat on a carriage and headed towards Chu Feng County City.
"Young Master, sit tight!"
Wu Tiehu was wearing a thin layer of clothing. Although it was still winter, he did not feel cold at all. He drove the carriage quickly and steadily.
Originally, when Wu Ming entered the city this time, he planned to go alone. However, after thinking that it would be troublesome to have no one to command, he decided to bring him along.
At this moment, Wu Ming was sitting in the carriage with his eyes narrowed. Thinking back to the scene of seeing Wu Tiehu, he sighed to himself.
Baleful energy wrapped around the body, starlight wrapped around the body, this was the disposition of a fierce general!
Unfortunately, this person's Star Fate was too weak and was only at the level of a strand of starlight. It was far from being able to form a Fate Star, not to mention the Star Vice Fate and the Heaven's Mandate realm.
However, even so, this person was still the most promising material in the Wu Clan Fort.
This time, Wu Ming brought him out with the intention of promoting him.
"Wu Tiehu, I have a method, listen carefully!"
Wu Ming thought for a moment, then casually recited a method.
This time, he went to the Star World, it was a world with an abundance of Star Essence and various True Fate Stars.
As long as one was a great general, even a brave general or a fierce general, they would basically have an inauspicious star protecting their body. This was why many military techniques were developed, and there were even methods that were especially suitable to stimulate the power of the inauspicious star.
Even though the power of the stars in the Dazhou World was slightly inferior, the essence was the same, so it could be used as a reference.
"This …"
Wu Tiehu originally did not care, but after hearing a few sentences, his heart was greatly moved.
He felt that although these few hundred words were simple, every single one of them pointed straight to the right path. There were even some that he didn't understand, but he had already benefited a lot from it. It was much more profound than what he had figured out on his own. His hand trembled and the carriage tilted.
He quickly stopped and kowtowed on the ground, "Thank you, Young Master! I, Wu Tiehu, am your man in life, and your ghost in death … "
He was so excited that he was speechless.
"Just work hard for the Wu Clan, why do you want to live or die? Hurry up and drive the carriage! "
Wu Ming scolded with a smile.
"Yes!"
Wu Tiehu respectfully replied, then got on the carriage, but his expression became more respectful.
He had some knowledge, so he naturally knew that this kind of thing was simple and direct, but it could be cultivated into the real thing. It was the military path, and unless one came from a military family, it would be extremely difficult to obtain.
At this time, Wu Ming gave him an unfathomable feeling.
…
"You really have some foundation!"
After passing on the method, Wu Ming did not say much. He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, letting Wu Tiehu comprehend it on his own.
Thinking about the changes in the clouds above Wu Tiehu's head, he smiled.
This person originally had an inauspicious star around his fate, and now that he obtained the training method of the Star World, he was like a tiger that had grown wings.
In terms of luck, it was a huge increase in the Natal Qi.
Luck was the embodiment of one's strength!
How could the strength that one wielded not be of help?
Take Wu Ming for example. Even though his luck was still red and white, the core of his luck was crimson, and it was extremely stable. In fact, it even showed signs of infecting other parts of his luck.
"If a sorcerer is well-prepared, he can easily kill several Mortal Body 9-dan pinnacle Ultimate Transformation cultivators! Just like those Martial Grandmasters, Martial Grandmasters, and Saints, he is a fearsome existence that can alter the balance of power in the world … Furthermore, since his strength comes from his body, it's normal for his luck to change … "
Wu Ming sighed and felt that it was a pity.
Basically, a sorcerer with crimson luck would have no problem taking root in the county.
In fact, even if Wu Qing wasn't around, Wu Ming would still be able to support the Wu Clan and develop it into a major clan in the county.
However, he was still a major level away from Jun Wang's golden luck.
"Putting everything else aside … Whether it's Sister Wu Qing or I, even if two sorcerers are tied together, it'll just be a little troublesome for the Wang Clan. However, if a Spiritual Master emerges, it'll be different … The other party won't dare to plot against us anymore!"
However, it was difficult to become a Spiritual Master.
Even though Wu Ming had the Suihou Pearl and the Dragon Qi within it and could definitely reach the level of a Spiritual Master, it would still take some time.
…
The county capital was rather far from Cloud Ping County.
Even with a carriage, there were no other burdens and they were taking the official road. Wu Ming set off early in the morning with Wu Tiehu, and it was only when the city gates were about to close that they finally arrived.
"Chu Feng County City … is really majestic!"
Wu Ming lifted the curtains of the carriage and gazed into the distance. He saw a huge object standing at the intersection of heaven and earth. There seemed to be no end to it as far as the eye could see.
As the carriage approached, the general appearance of the city appeared in front of Wu Ming.
Perhaps it was because of his habit of doing too much in the Star World, but Wu Ming started to size up the city's defenses.
At this moment, he saw that the city walls were two feet tall and almost six to seven meters wide. The walls were green in color and thick without any gaps. They were made from stones, gravel, tung oil, and even glutinous rice hammered together. They were incomparably sturdy. There were watchtowers and battlements on top of them. Every time the city was attacked, this place would definitely cause great damage to the enemy.
Outside the city, there was a moat. The ripples were clear and crystalline, and the widest part was almost three feet wide. It was vast and wide, and there were small boats rowing on it from time to time.
"Such a huge city. No wonder there were many examples of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of enemies besieging it for a few years in ancient times. In the end, the food in the city had to be exhausted before they could conquer it …"
When Wu Ming saw this, he couldn't help but sigh.
With his knowledge, he naturally knew that it was to bring all the troops that he had brought with him. No! Even if Li Rubi brought all the Nine Mountains Army and besieged this city with twenty to thirty thousand soldiers, as long as there were no spies who defected, they would definitely be able to defend it. At the very least, they could delay it for a few months.
Therefore, in ancient times, the art of war had always focused on attacking the city and attacking the heart.
If every time they passed by a city, they had to expend the troops under them to attack it, then even a hidden dragon would lose all its luck!
"However … there are other extraordinary powers in this world. I wonder how they would perform in war …"
The strongest power would definitely be used in war. This was an unbreakable truth!
If it was on Earth, it would be military technology that would often surpass civilian technology in all aspects. Here, superhumans gathered in the army and formed a terrifying battle force!
"Should I find an opportunity to create gunpowder cannons or something?"
Wu Ming looked at Chu Feng's county city, and his eyes were somewhat fiery. As a man, and one that came from his previous life, he always had some dreams of steel cannons in his heart. "However, this isn't urgent. I have to make some inquiries first and obtain comprehensive information …"
At this time, the suspension bridge had not been pulled up yet. Wu Tiehu hurried forward and saw a group of soldiers lazily guarding the city gate.
When they saw the carriage, they were still urging, "Hey! The city gate is about to close, hurry up! "
The soldiers of the county government naturally had a sense of pride. When they saw Wu Ming's carriage that looked like a nouveau riche from the countryside, they were not overly courteous.
"Thank you for your hard work, generals!"
Wu Tiehu did not dare to delay and hurried forward.
After all, once the city gate was closed, it would only open again the next day. If they wanted to leave at night, unless there was an urgent military situation and they could lower a basket from the city wall, it would be a dream for the commoners.
After paying the entrance fee, Wu Tiehu smiled and stuffed a string of money into the ten-man squad leader's hand.
The ten-man squad leader weighed the money in his hand and smiled in satisfaction.
The carriage slowly entered the city. The previous nouveau riche had been to this county city a few times and had memories of it. When Wu Ming saw the rows of shops on both sides and the lively streets, he said, "Go to the Ma Family's Old Shop …"
"Yes!"
Wu Tiehu drove the carriage to a secluded street in the south.
In the middle, there was a hotel that occupied a large area. It was relatively quiet and secluded. The gilded signboard that read 'Ma Family's Old Shop' shone with a bronze luster under the setting sun. It was obviously an antique.
