After Hu Erzi left, there was silence in the hall.
"Is anyone talking?"
Luo Liqun's color gradually turned cold, and he asked in a cold voice.
Down below, no one answered.
Luo Liqun scanned the crowd, finally slapped the armrest, and cursed: "I have done nothing to help that kid over and over again. This time, he has made such great military exploits. How can I control him in the future? Why don't Yu Hongtian take the opportunity to climb up to me?"
Come and act wild on your head?"
No one said a word in the lobby. Everyone knew that speaking at this time was asking for trouble. Only when Luo Liqun had finished venting his anger would it be time to speak.
However, Luo Batian stood up, poured a cup of tea for his father, and comforted him: "Father, drink a cup of tea first and calm down. Don't be angry anymore."
Luo Liqun also ignored the cup handed to him by his son, but did not continue to curse.
Putting down the tea cup, Luo Batian said: "We can put down the matter of Lei Xingkong's meritorious service for the time being. There are other things that are more important."
"oh?"
Luo Liqun looked at his son.
The rest of the people also looked at Luo Batian.
What else is more important than achieving such a great military exploit?
Luo Batian said with a gloomy expression: "I just heard from Hu Erzi that the light of Lei Xingkong's sword when he drew it could kill barbarians. It sounded like the power of a sword. Could it be that his cultivation has reached the sixth level of Canglong Jue?"
?”
"how come?"
Zuo Shenquan looked up in shock.
Although he had just heard Hu Erzi talking about it, he didn't pay attention to it. At this time, when Luo Batian mentioned it, he suddenly woke up.
Of course, Zuo Shenquan was not the only one to wake up. The rest of the people present, even the furious Luo Liqun, raised their heads with a hint of shock in their eyes.
"Absolutely impossible!"
After pondering for a while, Zuo Shenquan spoke first: "Before, when Han Xiaowu was not dead, Zaixin once said that the boy was only at the fourth level of Canglong Jue. Even if his cultivation has improved to another level during this period, he would still be at the fifth level at most.
It’s just the third level, how could it suddenly reach the sixth level?”
Luo Batian looked puzzled and asked, "How do you explain killing an enemy with a sword?"
Zuo Shenquan said: "If Lei Xingkong's cultivation is at the fifth level of Canglong Jue, he might just have condensed Gang Qi."
At first glance, Dao Gang and Dao Qi are somewhat similar. The difference is that Dao Gang can only be attached to the blade, while Dao Qi can be launched from the blade, with a larger killing range and stronger lethality.
Hu Erzi didn't elaborate just now, whether Lei Xingkong's sword light emanated from the blade to kill the enemy, or whether it was condensed on the blade.
Zuo Shenquan thought for a while and then said: "How about calling Hu Erzi here and asking him carefully?"
"not busy!"
Luo Liqun waved his hand, spoke to stop him, paused, and then said: "It won't be too late to ask Hu Erzi in detail tomorrow, but...even if that kid's cultivation has only reached the fifth level of Canglong Jue, how old is he?
!”
Luo Liqun's sigh immediately made everyone present startled, and then fell silent.
That's right, the boy named Lei is only eleven years old this year, and his cultivation has already reached the fifth level of Canglong Jue. Looking at the entire Qingshui County, who can do it?
Suddenly, their hearts became inexplicably heavy, as if they were being weighed down by a boulder.
With Lei Xingkong's cultivation speed, it is difficult to predict his future achievements, but what is certain is that the future is limitless.
How can anyone feel at ease with such a person as their enemy?
Of course, among everyone present, Luo Batian was the one who suffered the biggest blow.
Since he was a child, he has been known as a general, unrivaled among his peers. Unexpectedly, Lei Xingkong suddenly appeared and completely outclassed him in every aspect.
Although he knew the level of Lei Xingkong's cultivation at this time, he could not feel the slightest sense of competition. He only felt that with his cultivation at the third level of Canglong Jue, the gap between him and Lei Xingkong was so huge that he could not even think about it.
There is no room for catching up...
Luo Liqun, who was sitting comfortably at the head, glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice: "If this son is not eliminated, he will become a serious trouble in the future. If you have any ideas, just tell me."
After a moment of silence, a tall and thin captain from the capital below said: "Since Lei Xingkong is so good at fighting, I will choose an opportunity to propose it at the military meeting tomorrow and let him be the vanguard to fight against the barbarians."
Zuo Shenquan shook his head: "That's not right. That kid came back this time and made such great military exploits. How can we let him be a vanguard as soon as he comes? I'm afraid that as soon as these words are spoken at the military meeting, the announcement will be made.
I will be the first one to jump out and start a fight."
Luo Liqun nodded: "Niu Qinglian, Luo Zhishi and Cheng Yuqing have traveled extensively in the county army. This time they have received great kindness from that boy. If we do it too lightly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control people's hearts in the future."
.”
Zuo Shenquan thought for a while and said in a low voice: "I have a method, you can give it a try."
"oh?"
Luo Liqun turned to look at Zuo Shenquan.
Zuo Shenquan glanced at him and the others, but did not speak immediately.
After thinking for a while, Luo Liqun waved his hands to the rest of the people and said, "You guys step back first!"
"Here!"
Everyone stood up and left one after another, and many of them looked at Zuo Shenquan, with unwillingness and resentment flashing in their eyes.
Zuo Shenquan felt a little proud. After everyone had left, only Luo Liqun, his father and his son were left in the hall. Then he took a deep breath and said: "A few days ago, your Excellency hosted a banquet for Marquis Jieyi. I was lucky enough to sit with you. I remember that the wine has arrived."
When he was intoxicated, Marquis Jieyi once mentioned that he was eager to find a precious sword to give to others. If he could find it, he would be willing to pay one hundred thousand gold. I wonder if you still remember this."
"Precious sword?"
Luo Liqun frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I also drank too much that day, so I can't remember clearly, but it seems that there was such a thing!"
Zuo Shenquan said: "That's right. Marquis Jieyi is eager to find a treasured sword, and there happens to be a treasured sword in front of him."
"What do you mean?" Luo Liqun still didn't understand.
Zuo Shenquan pretended to be confident and smiled slightly, and explained: "I corresponded with Han Xiaowu before, and I heard that Lei Xingkong has a family heirloom sword. The sword cuts iron like mud and is extremely sharp. The Dibei outpost experienced a beast tide.
At that time, Lei Xingkong used it to repeatedly kill ferocious wild beasts, and finally survived."
"how come?"
Luo Batian said in disbelief: "Lei Xingkong's family is poor, how can he have any family heirloom sword?"
Zuo Shenquan said: "I thought Han Xiaowu was exaggerating before, but after listening to Hu Erzi's words just now, I feel that Han Xiaowu's words are not lies. Lei Xingkong can use that knife to fight with the barbarian's hammer.
It is undoubtedly a precious sword."
"did you mean……"
Luo Liqun understood now and said thoughtfully: "You mean to reveal to Marquis Jieyi that Lei Xingkong has a family heirloom sword?"
"Exactly!" Zuo Shenquan nodded.
Luo Batian couldn't help but interjected: "What if Lei Xingkong dedicated his sword to Marquis Jieyi? Then... wouldn't we have made Lei Xingkong his wife?"
Zuo Shenquan gave a categorical negative answer: "Then Lei Xingkong will definitely not give up his sword!"
"Why?" Luo Batian asked in shock.
In his opinion, it was just a knife. If he gave it away, he would gain the favor of Marquis Jieyi and help his future career. This was a good thing that could not be obtained even if he asked for it.
Zuo Shenquan further explained: "I have been paying attention to Lei Xingkong these days, and I know something about his temperament. Although his family is poor, his bones are strong. His father died on the battlefield, and his body was eventually
I can't even get it back, I only have this knife left, and with that kid's temperament, he won't trade it even if I give him a mountain of gold and silver."
After hearing this, Luo Liqun and his son immediately fell silent, thinking about whether Zuo Shenquan's words were feasible.
Zuo Shenquan continued: "As long as your Excellency tells Marquis Jieyi that Lei Xingkong has a treasured sword, with Marquis Jieyi's temperament, he will naturally take action against that kid... At the military meeting, I only need to order anyone at random.
Recommend Lei Xingkong as the vanguard, and then you can sit on the sidelines and no longer have to worry about the people in the army turning their backs."….
"good!"
After thinking about it, Luo Liqun had made up his mind and said, "Before the military meeting tomorrow, I will rush to the general's office early and inform Marquis Jieyi of the matter as you said."
Luo Batian thought for a moment and then asked: "If Lei Xingkong is so good at fighting, what if he achieves military exploits again this time?"
Zuo Shenquan said: "If things really turn out to be like this, I also have a way to deal with it. You can recommend Lei Xingkong to the Yulin Army and ask him to be transferred out of the county army. He will not be able to come back in three or two years."
, the eldest son takes this opportunity to cultivate his cronies in the army and make more military exploits. Even if Lei Xingkong comes back, he will not be able to compete with the eldest son."
Luo Liqun nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you go to Lei Xingkong, Ba Tian will be the number one among the younger generation in this county. When the foundation is laid, how can the boy named Lei compete with Ba Tian with just his bravery?"
When Luo Batian heard his father say this, his pressure was greatly reduced and his confidence was greatly increased.
After a slight pause, Luo Liqun suddenly said to Zuo Shenquan: "One more thing, Chen Zhongxing's words are not entirely true. I don't think he is a useful person. Since he is willing to obey Lei Xingkong's instructions along the way,
, then let him go to Lei Xingkong’s place and act as a vanguard together!”
Zuo Shenquan was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and quickly said "Here".
Secretly, Zuo Shenquan couldn't help but feel terrified. In fact, Chen Zhongxing was not disloyal to the captain. This time, he just concealed his words a little, and he ended up like this... He was sent to the vanguard to fight the barbarians. On such a battlefield,
