Chapter 33 Black Armor Guard Commander Qin Zhendong

Three days had passed since Zhang Yuan wiped out the nine thieves in the Phantom Mist.

Qingyun Town, a town located in the southwest of the Northeast Province and the northwest of the Eastern Province, adjacent to the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

Although it is still a town in terms of administrative level, it has long been a city in terms of scale, and is even stronger than the Wutan City built by the "peak" Xiao family.

The reason why it was not changed to a city is that the Jiama Empire has a law that a city lord must be arranged to sit in the city, and the greatest significance of this town is to station the elite troops of the empire, which must be replaced every three years, and the commander must also assume the powers and responsibilities of the city lord.

Half a month has passed since the handover between the Black Armor Guard and the Xiaolong Guard. All 10,000 elites have been stationed there, guarding the major important places. The highest decision-maker in Qingyun Town has now become the commander of the Black Armor Guard, the Nine-Star Dou Wang Qin Zhendong.

At this time, in the study room in the backyard of the Commander's Mansion in Qingyun Town, a man was sitting at the desk reading a book. He suddenly asked, "Jing Yan, is my teacher Zhang coming back soon?"

The man was about fifty years old. Unlike most soldiers, he was more similar to Zhang Yuan. He gave people a sense of elegance. At first glance, he was an ordinary middle-aged man, but a closer look could make him feel unfathomable.

He was Qin Zhendong!

The person he asked was a handsome young man who looked very gentle and resembled Qin Zhendong to a certain extent. He was about twenty years old.

"Did my father miss him?" Qin Jingyan heard the teasing in Qin Zhendong's words and smiled.

The teacher Zhang mentioned by Qin Zhendong was Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan broke through the Dou Shi at the age of fourteen and joined the Black Armor Guard by stepping on Mu Zhan of the Mu family. With such a dazzling talent, he would naturally be paid special attention.

When carrying out a mission to eliminate mountain bandits in the southern province of the empire, Zhang Yuan, with his nine-star fighting master strength, directly killed a three-star great fighting master, which made Qin Zhendong decide to accept him as his apprentice and train him as a direct descendant.

As a result, after finding Zhang Yuan and chatting with him for several hours, he did not accept him as his apprentice, but left with a look of loss.

So there were rumors in the army that Zhang Yuan had offended Qin Zhendong, and then the captain Meng Xu, who was under the command of Zhang Yuan and was on good terms with the Mu family, mocked him.

Zhang Yuan did not say anything at the time, but when Meng Xu proposed to be promoted to a captain, he opposed it, believing that the latter's strength was not enough to convince the crowd and that he had to fight according to the rules of the army.

In the end, Meng Xu, a six-star great fighting master, was defeated by Zhang Yuan using the rules, which shocked many people, and Qin Zhendong also gave Zhang Yuan a token that day, giving people the right to see him at any time.

As for the reason, in addition to his love for talent, he also wanted to learn military tactics from Zhang Yuan. He had a very personal interest in this area. He was disappointed that day because he saw a strategic suggestion from Zhang Yuan and was amazed.

Later, Zhang Yuan often came to discuss with him, or simply to say to teach him military tactics, and became his close friend regardless of age difference. He also jokingly called him "Little Teacher Zhang".

It was precisely because of this relationship with him that Zhang Yuan was able to take leave to return to Wutan City to visit his relatives on the day when the Black Armor Guard entered Qingyun Town.

"I do miss him a little."

Qin Zhendong put down the book, with undisguised admiration in his eyes, and nodded: "I want to hear his opinion on the thing that the empire asked me to do secretly."

"Are you talking about Yancheng, Mo?" Qin Jingyan's expression became serious.

"Yes." Qin Zhendong said seriously: "Yancheng is one of the large cities in my Jiama Empire. It can compete for the first place in the eastern province. It is the only way from the empire to the eastern province. It has a good strategic location and is heavily guarded by the empire all year round."

"But now, the most powerful Mo family in Yancheng has monopolized 60% of the industry in the city. After deducting some necessary taxes and a large amount of wealth from connections, it is still getting fatter and fatter, but it is not restrained."

"If there were no other three families in the eastern province to restrain him, and the existence of the snake tribe, the Mo family would even expand its strength to other cities, and this is all because he has the Yunlan Sect behind him."

The three words Yunlan Sect made Qin Jingyan feel heavy in his heart.

The Jiama Empire has been in turmoil over the years. The emperor passed away without leaving a male heir, one of the four great heroes Douwang families was missing, the empire's national guardian monster was said to be injured and hidden, and the two princesses were still young. The royal family's control over the local area is getting worse and worse.

If the Emperor of Chuyun Empire was not in a bad situation, and several factions in the court were fighting internally, and the Jiama Empire had a strong pass, he would have sent troops to invade long ago.

But the internal situation of Jiama Empire was not good either. The problem was with Yunlan Sect. Although there were rumors that Yunshan, the last leader of Yunlan Sect, had fallen, the current leader Yun Yun was also very talented. He also recruited disciples to win over the Nalan family, and most importantly, he won over the sixth-grade alchemist, Dan Wang Gu He.

"Although Zhang Yuan understands military tactics, his strength is limited after all. Let alone the giant Yunlan Sect, I'm afraid it's hard to have any good ideas to deal with the Mo family." Qin Jingyan said.

He also admired Zhang Yuan's wisdom, but it was impossible for him to blindly believe.

"But it doesn't matter if you ask." Qin Jingyan smiled again and said, "He said he would stay in the family for a maximum of five days. The journey would take a total of ten days, so if we calculate it based on fifteen days, today is the deadline. If he doesn't come back, he will be subject to military law."

"He has to pass through the Misty Mountains to return to Wutan City. Dad, why don't you ask him if he has any way to deal with the Misty Nine Thieves."

Hearing this, Qin Zhendong reached out and tapped his son, shaking his head and said, "Your idea is even more unrealistic than when I asked him for advice on how to deal with the Mo family. The Nine Phantom Mist Thieves were not completely wiped out even when Old Xu personally led people to clear them out. If Zhang Yuan has a way, I would really worship him as my teacher."

Qin Jingyan immediately said, "Then I'll talk to Zhang Yuan when I have time. Maybe he will think hard about taking a Dou Wang strongman as his apprentice."

The father and son looked at each other and laughed tacitly.

At this time, a guard ran in and said excitedly, "Commander, there is important military information."

The Qin father and son's expressions were restrained, and Qin Zhendong signaled the person to elaborate.

"Commander, Zhang Yuan, the captain of the left wing of the Xuanzi Camp, led his men to completely wipe out the Nine Phantom Mist Thieves and returned to the city to report. Deputy Commander Wang asked me to inform you."

Qin Zhendong:?

Qin Jingyan:? ?

At the same time, the military camp outside the west gate of Qingyun Town

The Black Armor Guards have four commanders, Tiandi, Xuanhuang, who guard the four gates of the southeast, northwest, and northeast respectively.

The commander of the Xuan Camp is named Qin Zhenming, who is Qin Zhendong's cousin and a nine-star Douling.

At this time, he had just finished his roll call and summoned his four captains and five deputy captains to the main camp to discuss how to eliminate an upcoming small beast tide.

But before he could speak, one of the five deputy captains clasped his fists and said, "Commander, I want to be promoted to captain. Please report to the commander."

Hearing this, some of the people present did not change their expressions, some showed sarcasm, and a tall bald man sneered, "Meng Xu, you won't choose to be promoted when Zhang Yuan is not around."

The bald man is called Shi Jiu, a five-star Doushi, who made friends with Zhang Yuan when he was performing military duties. He has a hot temper and likes people who do things quickly. He and Meng Xu have always disliked each other.

Meng Xu's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he released his own aura, saying in a cold voice: "Shi Jiu, I was just accidentally knocked out of the circle at the beginning, and I didn't really lose to Zhang Yuan, and I won't lose now."

Meng Xu's aura is very strong, and he has reached the seventh star of the Grand Fighter.

The eyes of several captains and deputy captains present changed slightly, and the smile on Shi Jiu's face froze.

Meng Xu felt proud and bowed to Qin Zhenming and said: "Commander, I should be qualified. I chose now just to pursue efficiency, not to fear anyone. If the commander thinks that the trial is still needed, I am willing to fight with Shi Jiu."

Seven stars against five stars, his wind attribute fighting spirit can restrain Shi Jiu's fire attribute fighting spirit, and he can definitely suppress it.

Shi Jiu wanted to curse as soon as he opened his mouth.

But at this moment, a voice sounded outside the tent: "Traditional orders."

Qin Zhenming's eyes became serious, and he led everyone to the outside of the tent, bowed and said: "Subordinates obey orders."

The messenger put away the token and said with a smile: "Commander Qin, the commander asks you to go to the commander's mansion to discuss matters."

"It's amazing, your captain Zhang Yuan led the team to destroy the Nine Thieves of Phantom Mist."

Everyone: ???
