A colorful divine light appeared in an official residence in Qingshui City. When the light flashed, a dozen well-ordered figures appeared in the teleportation array.

The leader is wearing dark gold armor, with a tiger-patterned gold belt around his waist, and his hair is like clouds.

The eyebrows are bright and bright, the shoulders are broad and the body is thick, the arms are full of explosive power, and the face is extremely strong and resolute.

The official guarding the formation recognized the person and quickly bowed and saluted.

"I pay my respects to the general!"

He ignored the visitors and walked directly outside the official residence. He sensed that his family was waiting outside.

As soon as they walked out of the gate, they saw dozens or hundreds of figures standing outside, all respectful, wearing robes of different colors but with the same pattern on the chest.

"Master!"

"Master!"

.......

"The child pays homage to his father." Si Yuanlong stood at the front of the crowd and bowed deeply to the visitor.

Si Guangji looked at the people of the Si family in front of him. He was not too happy, but looked gloomy and extremely sad.

"Is what you wrote in your letter true?"

Si Yuanlong's heart tightened and he quickly said: "How dare you deceive your father?"

Si Guangji shook his head repeatedly: "It's too fast, it's too fast."

"Father, this is not the place for discussion. Why don't we go home first and discuss it later?"

After taking a look at the sky, Si Guangji snorted coldly: "Find trouble for me."

"If it's not what I want, it's hard to get off the tiger."

"Where is Captain Qi?"

"Waiting at the house."

"Let's go!"

At the same time.

When Si Guangji entered the city, all forces received the news at the same time.

Iron Mansion.

Bi Qi stood in front of the quiet room where Tie Tang retreated, walking back and forth, looking a little restless.

"It's about to start, why hasn't Brother Tang come out of seclusion yet?"

Also waiting in front of the door with him was Li Yao. At this time, he heard the words and consoled him: "Brother Qi, don't worry. I'm afraid I'm about to enter the secret realm of the magic witch. This is a top priority. You can put other matters aside for the time being."

It didn’t take long.

A soldier came outside the Tiefu Gate to deliver a letter of worship, inviting Tie Tang, the county governor, to come and observe the martial arts performance.

The military drill is a year-end summary. It concerns a county, and naturally it cannot bypass the county guard in charge of a county.

Tianwen opened the invitation, looked at it for a few times, threw it on the table, looked at everyone and asked: "Which one of you guessed the plot?

The captain delayed it for seven days. It couldn't really be for a martial arts test, right?"

"Who among us will know about this military matter?" Ji Yingzhe shook his head repeatedly.

Li Geng, Long Yu, Zhen Guandong, the Tie brothers and others could not figure out the mystery. Only Wu Congyun could guess a little bit.

"If he still doesn't come out of confinement, he may be in trouble."

Tianwen smiled and said: "Tietou probably miscalculated. I didn't expect it would take so long. It doesn't look as easy as when Niubi broke through."

Li Geng looked at the quiet room in the distance and sensed it carefully: "Brother Tie seems to have refined himself, and I can hardly feel his breath."

"Hey, it seems to be true."

"I can't feel it either."

"Is there no one inside? Did he leave first?"

........

Crunch!

Just when everyone was confused, the door of the quiet room opened, and Tie Tang strode out.

Biqi quickly stepped forward and explained Qi Heyao's intention.

"This is the right thing to do!" After saying this, Tie Tang jumped up and came to the courtyard where everyone was.

"Everyone...is this okay?"

Tianwen nodded: "Sure, you don't know how much I got scolded, and you have to treat me to at least three drinks afterwards."

Li Geng nodded, Wang Andao, Wu Congyun, Long Yu and others did not put forward any opinions, but nodded in agreement.

Seeing that nothing unexpected happened, the last big stone fell in Tie Tang's heart.

"Okay, I'll go and watch the ceremony first, collect the military symbols, and see what off-the-board moves Captain Qi Du has used."

There were clouds under his feet, and he was covered with rays of light. He flew directly into the sky from Iron Mansion and rushed towards the outside of Qingshui City.

In an ordinary city, apart from the arsenal and defense troops, there will not be many troops.

A large number of soldiers will set up camps outside the city in restricted areas, so that they can better train soldiers and experiment with military formations and weapons without affecting civilians.

After Tie Tang left, everyone became suspicious again.

Because no matter how he looks... he doesn't look like a monk who has entered the secret realm of witchcraft.

"Is the iron head stuck? Am I right?"

Li Geng was certain: "He is indeed still in the ninth level of Tianxin. He has not even appeared in the Thunder Tribulation. Naturally, he cannot become an ancient wizard."

"Let's go and wait outside the city. Maybe we can observe the ceremony of overcoming the tribulation. It will also be good for you and others."

"Let's go to the theater. The Sa family has long wanted to go out of town."

........

As everyone can see, Tie Tang has not become an ancient shaman, and is still missing the last step.

At this time, his spirit has merged with his physical body, but it will take some time before the complete integration.

Outside the city, there are green waters and green mountains, lingering mist, and towering ancient trees. Near a mountain stream, countless forest huts have been built densely.

In front of these wooden houses, there is a huge, spacious and flat school field, which is already full of soldiers.

When Tie Tang arrived, he saw three rows of seats in front of the school grounds. The middle and lower rows were occupied by military generals. Only in the first row above were a few familiar figures wearing official robes.

Li Qingwan, Lu Zhengqing, He Changsheng, Qiu Zhengyang, and even the magistrate of Qingshui City, Chao Chenghua, all sat in the first row.

In the middle seat sat a middle-aged man whom Tie Tang didn't recognize. His strong and resolute face seemed familiar.

But he was sure that he did not know this person.

Tie Tang stepped down and came to the general's side. Da Ma Jin Dao sat down and the other officials and generals nodded.

At this time Qi Heyao stood up and saluted Tie Tang.

"Master Tie, this is General Zhenxi who was sent by Jiangdu Prefecture to supervise this military exercise. Your Excellency should have heard of his name."

"Oh? Please forgive me for being ignorant. I really haven't heard of it."

Qi Heyao looked slightly annoyed and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the man beside him waving his hand.

Si Guangji looked at Tie Tang: "General Si Guangji, Tie... Your Excellency's name... I have been famous for a long time."

"It turns out it's General Si. I've admired him for a long time." Tie Tang smiled and said a few simple words of courtesy.

A few moments.

The two fell silent again, and then Captain Qi dared to announce that the martial arts test had begun, and the soldiers from each battalion and each unit began to step forward one by one to practice.

With such a big name in the martial arts show, Tie Tang originally thought he would be able to see a bit of the real thing.

But when I saw half a stick of incense, I couldn't help but shake my head.

Qingshui County is already poor and cannot recruit many talents. Ninety percent of these soldiers are locals from Qingshui County.

Regardless of their marching qualities, it is difficult for them to catch Tie Tang's eyes just because of their own cultivation.

Most of the soldiers are still in the secret realm of the flesh, and their innate cultivation limits make them look like embroidered pillows no matter how well they practice.

What's more, these soldiers are not excellent when it comes to running, jumping, and dodging. They don't have the agility to tear apart tigers and leopards, gallop like horses, and be agile and fierce.

He sent a message to Li Qingwan, Lu Zhengqing and others: "Generals and officers in the army, is this all?"

"What? Everyone has to be trained to your level to be considered sophisticated, right?" Li Qingwan choked first.

He Changsheng and Qiu Zhengyang both snickered, but Lu Zhengqing explained to him carefully.

"Corruption in the military is actually far more serious than we imagined, and there are many people who are freeloaders.

In addition, a large number of ineffective children from wealthy families will also be assigned to the lower ranks of the military to gain as much military power as possible.
