Chapter 6829 Don’t make trouble, don’t do it!
After a hearty meal of wine and meat, Cao Ang patted his butt and left. It seemed as if he had no real business to do. He just came to deepen the relationship with the veterans, fulfill his promise, and solve the problems faced by the veterans. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, he just left.
This situation made the old soldiers somewhat confused, but they had a good meal without spending any money, and some of their difficult problems were solved. In addition, the previous promises were fulfilled in front of them. Although the old soldiers were confused, they were more satisfied with Cao Ang.
After all, such a great prince came here to solve their problems for no reason. It is obvious that he is a reliable prince.
"You're leaving now. You couldn't be here just to treat us to dinner." After Cao Ang left, Zhang Huang looked at Guang Yuan with a confused look on his face and asked. Guang Yuan curled his lips when he heard that.
"Times have changed, okay? These days are different from what we had in the past. Didn't you listen to my son? These days you can't just have a full meal and then go out and fight for your life. It seems the war is over, so they invite us to dinner and solve the problem. If they fight again in the future, they will still need us to fight for our lives, so let's build some emotional foundation first." Bashu pinched the big bones into long toothpicks and distributed them to the brothers around him. He said with some emotion while picking his teeth.
"Will you still risk your life next time?" Bao Tao took the bone stick from Bashu and asked with some dissatisfaction. Bashu said this as if there would be no next time.
"Of course I would sell it. Why not? In the past, as long as I had enough food, I would run out to work for others. Now, with the conditions, of course I will continue to work for them. It just so happens that my youngest son is short of a house, so I'll help him solve the problem." Bashu said arrogantly.
"That's enough. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings." Huang Xiu said unhappily, "By the way, I was sitting at the other table just now and didn't hear what General Cao said? Shitou, what was General Cao mumbling just now?"
"General Cao asked everyone how long the oath could last. I said the longest one, like you and Brother Ba, could last three years, and the shortest one, like Brother Guang, could only last three months. General Cao said this, and then he would arrange for everyone to go to Chang'an to participate in a grand martial arts performance or something like that." Shi Gai did not hide anything and told everyone present all the news he knew.
"I just wanted to go. I haven't been to Chang'an for many years. Wang Mao wrote to me a while ago saying that he was going to Chang'an to watch his son and eldest grandson participate in the competition, and asked if we wanted to go. I thought that we haven't seen each other for a few years, and who knows, the next time we meet, he might be outside the coffin and I might be inside the coffin. Of course, who knows, it might be the other way around, so I thought I might as well go and take a look." Zhang Huang explained casually, and Wang Mao really sent them an invitation.
"I think General Cao's meaning is very clear. He is going to arrange some people to go. But if you two go, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back." Shi Gai said with a headache.
It's not that Zhang Huang and Guang Yuan were not allowed to go, but they were afraid that if they went, their oath would be torn apart by God's will, and they would recover in Chang'an when they were over seventy years old. After that, they would have to take another tiring journey by boat and carriage and then attend the funeral.
After all, these old guys present have young faces, but they are all around seventy years old, and some are even close to eighty. If the oath is broken, there is no hope of coming back.
"It's okay. If it's really broken, I'll just bury it over there. It's nothing." Zhang Huang said indifferently, "My oath can probably last for about three months. Even so, I'm still suppressing my divine will. If I really want to fully open it..."
It exploded on the spot when it was fully activated. What the hell is willpower transcendence? Don't you have any idea?
"I want to go, too. My son Bachao said that Chang'an is prosperous, far more prosperous than before. As a local, I'm also a little curious." Baxiu also spoke up, because Cao Ang didn't say anything, just muttered, and acted open-minded and kind, the brother didn't think much about it, and those who wanted to go started signing up on the spot.
"I'll go too. I'm exhausted. Let me go and take a look at Chang'an. The grand martial arts performance is such an interesting event. I heard that there are rewards for getting a good ranking. I'll go and take a look. Maybe I can get some rewards." Huang Xiu also spoke up.
To be honest, after the fifty years of defensive accumulation exploded, Huang Xiu's defensive power did drop significantly, but his other defensive talents were still there, the skills accumulated over the years were not lost, and his combat experience was still rich. Huang Xiu was naturally still very strong and was far from being useless. This was just a reason.
"I also want to go." Hou Jing said after thinking for a while.
Shi Gai nodded, and then continued to shout and ask. Later on, only seven or eight people showed some interest. Compared to returning to Chang'an to participate in the so-called martial arts performance, the others wanted to take the opportunity to save some money for their coffins. After all, Xiao Cao was very generous in paying the money this time!
The veterans present were willing to join the war. Except for those who died in previous battles, the others basically thought that if they took the lead, fewer deaths among the younger generation would occur. Besides, as an old veteran, they could also save some money for their coffins, so it was a win-win situation anyway.
"Is there anyone else? If not, I will report it." Shi Gai continued to shout. He did not think about the background of the matter or Cao Ang's true thoughts. He just followed his understanding and finished what he should do.
The veterans present had basically experienced forty to fifty years, or even longer, of fighting. They were extremely determined and those who had ideas expressed them right from the start. Few of them hesitated afterwards. Finally, after Shi Gai made a round of calls, only eight veterans were willing to go to Chang'an, including Sun Ling from the younger generation, and Feng Ke and Tian Zhong from the younger generation.
There is no need to talk about Sun Ling, he found a new route and needed to verify it, while Feng Ke went because of Zhang Huang and Guang Yuan, as their vows only had three months left. Although both of them said that if their vows were really broken, they would just be buried in Chang'an, Feng Ke felt that there were some things that still needed to be considered. Thinking that he had nothing to do recently, he followed them.
After all, if he was there, even if the oath between Zhang Huang and Guang Yuan was broken, he could still use other methods to bring the two back first, at least so that they would not die.
As for Tian Zhong, his idea was actually similar to Feng Ke's. In addition, it was Tian Zhong who proposed using talent stripping to restore youth, and it was also him who initiated this plan to help Cao Ang. Therefore, after the matter is over, Tian Zhong still has to be responsible for the links that he should be responsible for.
As a result, out of the 200 people, only Zhang Huang, Guang Yuan, Ba Xiu, Huang Xiu, Hou Jing, Sun Ling, Feng Ke and Tian Zhong planned to go to Chang'an.
Although the number of people in this group is small, their quality is still quite good. Therefore, after reporting the data, Cao Ang approved it with a wave of his hand.
He went to notify this matter because he was worried that too many people would go, but now there are only eight people participating in the competition, so Cao Ang is even willing to provide a large sum of activity funds. Of course, this is not only the activity funds for these eight people, but also the activity funds for the backbone members of Beigui who will be selected later and the real backbone members under Cao Ang.
"Fuck, there's actually activity funding for going to Chang'an. I would have gone if I had known this." When Bao Tao was watching his own team's arena selection, he realized that there was actually funding for going to Chang'an to participate in the grand martial arts performance. He immediately felt that he had suffered a heavy loss. It was very painful for him that he didn't get any advantage.
"If you want to go now, you can also join in." Shi Gai said coldly.
"Now that the big list is out, why would I go? I can't afford to lose this person." Bao Tao said unhappily, "The big forces these days are really good, and the benefits are really given."
"Have you seen the old soldier from Beigui?" Guangyuan asked Zhang Huang who was eating a biscuit on the side. Zhang Huang thought about it and broke off the second half for Guangyuan. Guangyuan didn't hesitate.
"It's just average, there's nothing of high quality, I haven't even seen a few of the sixth level." Zhang Huang said with disdain.
"Damn it, if I were really young, I would definitely have to get muscle-building injections. I can't even imagine what kind of combat power I would have with a height of 1.9 meters and weighing over 200 pounds." Guang Yuan cursed with some dissatisfaction.
Even though Zhang Huang joked that Beigui's veterans were trash and that there weren't many who could reach the sixth level, to be honest, if they were to compete, Zhang Huang would most likely not be able to get past Beigui's fifth level.
After all, Beigui's elite veterans had taken muscle-building injections and had grown tremendously. They were 1.80 or 1.90 meters tall and weighed over 200 kilograms. It was very likely that they would not be able to beat Zhang Huang and Guangyuan, who were just over 1.70 meters tall and weighed 140 kilograms, in a sparring match.
There's no other way. After all, these two have no regular skills in their skill library. You let them beat the fifth-level smelting veteran. They are very capable. They can basically attack all kinds of top-level warriors without any side effects. And if you let them fight, Guangyuan can still make do, but Zhang Huang? Because of Zhang Huang's transcendent will, almost all the skills in his skill library have a ban in front of them.
Of course it doesn't matter if you use it to show off your invincibility on the battlefield. If it's powerful, the most you can do is kill your opponent ugly, and nothing else matters. But if you use it for sparring...
Can Zhang Huang use the trick of killing a team of undead guards in a few seconds on his little brother? Can he use the trick of knocking out the Holy Death Knight with a single sword sound and a flick of his finger?
The former means certain death, and the latter means probability of death. What a joke!
"It's a pity that I missed the right opportunity." Zhang Huang squatted aside and said with a sigh. With his ability, he would not worry even if a young seventh-level warrior at the peak of his ability fought with him to death. But if he had to perform martial arts and could not kill anyone, he would not be able to pass the fifth level given that these old soldiers were all tall and strong.
"Forget it. When the time comes, I'll win if I can, and forget it if I can't." Guang Yuan said indifferently, "I thought about my moves carefully. I definitely can't use the God Slash, which is a move I use for flat attacks. We can't guarantee that the opponent can withstand the God Slash."
Zhang Huang had a look of despair on his face. Guangyuan's sword of beheading the gods had only a probability of killing someone in one second. As long as his sword of beheading the gods hit someone, those whose will attribute could not burst out to break the limit of will would die on the spot.
“All my tricks are useless. All my fighting power is focused on beheading gods. To be more direct, beheading gods is my foundation.” Zhang Huang looked choked and didn’t want to talk.
"Anyway, this is the situation." Guangyuan said calmly. It would be ridiculous for the two of them to participate in the competition. They would be at the bottom, or even if they were not at the bottom, it would be almost the same. They all had killing moves. Even if they were not basic attacks that were killing moves, because of the overly exaggerated willpower attributes and the God-Slaying Skill that had been honed continuously for decades, it was basically equivalent to a killing move.
"Forget it. I'll go have a drink with Wang Mao and see how Wang Mao's children and grandchildren perform. That guy is considered the strongest among the three of us." Zhang Huang thought about it and decided that it would be a good idea to participate in the competition if things were like this. He couldn't kill people in the arena. They were all younger generations and he was one of us.
"I thought so too." Guangyuan said with a smile.
Among the three members of the first generation of sharp warriors, Wang Mao was the strongest in the past, and Zhang Huang had the strongest will. As for the eldest brother Guang Yuan, the most useless among the three, after achieving the position of Guang Yuan Demon Lord, Guang Yuan's combat power has soared greatly. In a few minutes, his combat power exceeded Zhang Huang, and then Zhang Huang confiscated six magic swords from him, and then these six swords were completely absorbed by Zhang Huang...
Being completely absorbed means that the attributes of these six swords were changed by Zhang Huang, and the will transcendence was so severe that Guang Yuan could not take them back later. As a result, Guang Yuan, who has now achieved the title of Demon Lord, is still at the bottom of the combat effectiveness list.
Of course, what is said here is based on the assumption that Wang Maon can restore his youth. If he cannot restore his youth, then there is no hope.
"It just so happened that I was chatting with Sun Ling a few days ago and got a very good guess. I'll tell Wang Mao when the time comes." Zhang Huang said with a smile, "Maybe it will be fun."
At the same time, Najin, who had infiltrated Beigui and successfully inherited the identity, successfully passed the approval and joined Cao Ang's team on behalf of the other party.
"Gru, come here." When Difana was reviewing the documents at hand, he saw Gru's approval form. He was silent for a while, then waved at Gru, motioning him to come over.
Najin walked over expressionlessly, not knowing where the problem occurred.
Di Fana stretched out his hand to block out the surrounding noise, looking at Zena with a complicated expression. Just the first sentence made Zena feel scared, thinking that he was going to lose another incarnation.
"You should not be Gru. Tell me, which family are you from?" Difana looked at Zena helplessly and said, why do the commanders of the four major areas have to review each one? Isn't it because many people who come to participate in the competition look like that person and need to be reviewed and approved.
Zena was also a man of insight. Just by hearing these words, he knew that there seemed to be many people like him, and the other party did not doubt him, but just needed an acceptable explanation.
"Noble Bei, you need to go see the princess, please pass through." Zena said in a low voice.
"Nonsense, everyone who comes to participate wants to see the princess. Those who don't want to see the princess are also considered men of our Beigui." Difana said unhappily, "I mean are you under our command or on the other side, and how did you replace Gru's identity."
"Ahem, don't ask too much about this. I knocked Gru unconscious and left him at his home. He will wake up in about two days. I left him a letter. I'm sure he will understand. After all, it's impossible for him to pass the test to see the princess, so it's appropriate for me to go in his place." Zena had an uncomfortable look on his face, but Difana didn't think he was a bad guy.
"Don't cause any trouble when you get there. Go report to Bellona. Don't worry, we won't stop you if you're just going to see the princess and not cause any trouble." Difana pointed to another gathering point and said, "But if you do cause any trouble, like becoming a spy or something, we'll let you go, and I think your colleagues won't let you go either. Here's your identity badge, take it and go over there."
After Zena walked over, he saw a few people he didn't recognize, but his vague talents told him that they were all acquaintances of his, and he couldn't help but be speechless.
"Zena? Why the hell are you coming here too?" A line of words formed by light and shadow appeared beside Zena's legs. Zena followed the light and contacted an acquaintance on the other side.
"Why are you over there!" After Zena's light and shadow were connected, he found that the incarnation of Gu Laili was bragging and chatting with the old man on the Han side, and his brain immediately exploded.
"I have already prepared my identity here several years ago." Gu Laili told Zena with light and shadow in a bad mood, "Can you go to another place and go to the Jiangdong forces? If you come here and get exposed, we will all be in trouble!"
"My previous incarnation belonged to the Jiangdong forces!" Zena passed the light carrying the information to Gu Laili, who felt somewhat desperate after hearing it.
"You bastard, if you go and cause trouble, I will strangle your incarnation to death!" Gu Laili said somewhat desperately, "Brother, please don't cause trouble, just follow me, don't do anything stupid, I just want to see the real princess, alive and moving, damn it, brother, please don't cause trouble."
"I didn't cause any trouble last time, I didn't do anything. But I don't know what went wrong and I was targeted by Zhang Liang, and then the door was blocked. Is this my problem?" Zena said angrily.
"You're blocked at the door. Is it my fault?" Gu Laili's voice was filled with depression. "You should know that if you are exposed, all of us will be implicated. How many of these people here can withstand the investigation?"
At least one third of them cannot withstand scrutiny. They are either incarnations of the Kushans or the real bodies. If they have a chance to see the princess and have nothing to do, they might as well go and take a look. Many of the older brothers from the Northern Guishans hold this idea. This is also the reason why Difana and others did not feel anything about the discovery of Zena and thought it was natural. After all, the Northern Guishans are such creatures!
"Barak has already landed, but he is willing to lend a hand to the brothers and help us in this matter. He is very humane. It is impossible for him to cover up when something happens. You should have heard what Difana and the others said. Don't cause trouble when you go." Gu Laili said with some fatigue, "As long as you don't cause trouble and just want to see the princess, the brothers here are willing to turn a blind eye. Don't make it difficult for everyone, Zena!"
I got up reluctantly, sighing
