There are two gates in Iron Gate Pass. The northern gate leads to the territory of Daxuan Kingdom, and the southern gate is a natural moat that blocks demon cultivators.
Su Ping'an and the others followed the leader of the guards and entered from the north city gate. Once inside, they didn't even need to raise their heads. They only needed to look far away to see the tall iron gate lying between two high mountains in the south.
That is a natural chasm!
It is precisely the existence of this portal that prevents endless demon cultivators from entering the territory of Daxuan Kingdom.
"So majestic!"
"It is worthy of being the most powerful pass in the south of our Daxuan Kingdom, and Iron Gate Pass is well deserved!"
"Just looking at this city gate makes my blood boil."
It was the first time for the students of Wen Palace to come to Tiemenguan, so everyone couldn't help but get excited when they looked at the tall portal.
Even Su Ping'an looked at the majestic mountains and seas, and there were some different emotions boiling in his heart.
The leader of the guards seemed to be used to everyone's reaction. He just raised the corner of his mouth and continued to move forward with everyone.
Except for the tall gate at Iron Gate, there is nothing unusual about the other things in the city, and the conditions can even be said to be a bit poor.
The ground inside the pass was all dark brown, as if even the land had been contaminated by blood before it became like this. Along the way, Su Ping'an and the others couldn't even see a decent restaurant or restaurant.
There are quite a few snack bars, but there are almost no other entertainment industries.
"Is it so poor here?"
"Yeah, it looks very poor, not even as good as the Maverick Town we passed by before!"
“The conditions here are too bad!”
As the Wen Palace students walked away, they felt a little disappointed.
When the leader of the guards in front heard this, he snorted coldly without looking back: "The conditions are poor? Do you think you guys are here for enjoyment? If you just come here to hug me,
If you're just pretending so that you can go back and brag to others, then I advise you to go back as soon as possible, we don't accept young masters here!"
"Who says we are here to show off? We are..."
The students from Wen Palace were still a little dissatisfied and wanted to refute, but were suddenly stopped by Wen Liang.
Wen Liang shook his head at the students, and then advised: "Forget it, we have just arrived, let's talk less and do more. As for whether we are young masters or not, we will prove it with actions next!"
When he said this, he had no intention of hiding it from the leader of the guards in front of him, so the latter also heard it, but the leader of the guards smiled noncommittally and said nothing.
Soon after, they came to a huge mansion, the General's Mansion.
There are black-armored soldiers everywhere inside and outside the general's palace. This seems to be their uniform attire. Moreover, the decoration of the general's palace is not luxurious, but very simple and plain. The decisive and capable style of the soldiers is revealed everywhere.
After arriving in the courtyard, the leader of the guards asked them to wait, and then went in to report. It didn't take long for the news to come out, "The general lets you in!"
"Thank you very much!"
Wen Liang thanked him, and then walked into a military hall with Feng Shaoyang and Su Ping'an.
After entering the door, I looked up and saw a man in his forties.
The man was dressed in black casual clothes. He was sitting behind the case in the lobby, processing military reports on the desk. Su Ping'an looked at him carefully and found that the man was neither tall nor majestic, and even looked like an ordinary man.
The uncle next door doesn't look like a general at all.
This makes people wonder, "He is the famous 'Iron Gate Lion' Zhang Guangyi?!"
In addition to the man in black in the hall, there was also a man dressed as a literary scholar. The man was about thirty years old. He was wearing a large green Confucian robe and a plain crown on his head. He had the air of a military advisor.
When the Confucian scholar in green saw Su Ping'an and the others coming in, he whispered to the man in black behind the desk, "General, the students from the Wen Palace are here!"
Hearing this, the man in black raised his head, revealing a square and gentle face. Then he stood up and glanced at the Wen Gong people, then smiled and said: "Welcome to Iron Gate Pass, I am
Zhang Guangyi. I have already understood the purpose of your visit this time through summons and the deputy dean of your literary palace, but I still want to hear your own opinions.
Do you want to come here this time to meet the demon cultivators, broaden your horizons, and then go back in glory? Or do you want to go to the front line like our soldiers, experience life and death, and become a true literary cultivator?
These two different choices also affect your subsequent allocation.
If you choose the first one, then I will find a relaxing place for you to go there and do some errands; but if you choose the second one, then you must be prepared to see blood and even death. And
Once you make your choice, there is no room for regret. Do you understand?!”
Zhang Guangyi started his speech with a long paragraph, and the meaning of this paragraph was almost the same as that of the previous guard leader, that is, he looked down upon the students of the Wen Palace, thinking that they were all "gongzi soldiers" and could not be reused.
After hearing these words, the students of the Wen Palace immediately became excited. Some people couldn't help but said: "General, what do you mean? Are you looking down on us?!"
"That's right, we're not here to open our eyes this time, we're here to really kill the enemy!"
"How can we Wen Gong students be afraid of death?!" Even Wen Liang and Feng Shaoyang stared at Zhang Guangyi in a depressed manner at this moment, clenching their fists. Looking at their appearance, they almost wanted to rush into the demon cultivators and kill them.
, so as to prove that he is not a coward.
Seeing them like this, Su Ping'an had the urge to hold his forehead and pretend not to recognize them, and whispered softly: "It's so shameful, so shameful, these guys can't even see this little method of provoking generals."
Are you coming out? The same goes for this general. We just did this trick when we arrived. This clearly shows that he wants to train us to death."
Su Pingan gritted his back molars and sucked in cold air.
Through General Zhang Guangyi's actions, he felt that his journey of training would no longer be easy. He even felt that there was a big pit waving at him in front of him, and he couldn't see his fingers.
Zhang Guangyi seemed to have heard Su Pingan's mutterings. Invisibly, he glanced at Su Pingan unnoticeably, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he withdrew his gaze and looked at all the literary palaces in the hall.
The student said: "Okay, since you are so bloody, I will wait and see."
After saying that, Zhang Guangyi immediately wrote down a military order, handed it into Wen Liang's hand and said: "From now on, you fifty-one people will be the 73rd team of Hulao Pass. You can go there in the afternoon."
Report to Commander Xiong Yan at Hulao Pass. I hope that in the next few days, I won’t receive requests from you to quit because you can’t bear it. I wish you good luck!”
"General, please rest assured, we Wen Gong students will never become deserters. Farewell!"
Wen Liang also solemnly performed a military salute, and then left with a stern and serious look on the Wen Palace student. Looking at his appearance, it was as if he was quarreling with the general.
Su Pingan's expression became more and more helpless, and at the same time he couldn't help but sigh. The general is indeed a general. With just a few words, he managed to subdue Wen Gong and the others, and also inspired their bloodiness, making them unconscious.
I thought I was quite extraordinary, but this method alone was not something that ordinary people could achieve.
So before leaving, Su Ping'an took one more look at Zhang Guangyi, and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "The general looked at him with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he didn't expect that he was actually thoughtful. What a pity...
"
"..."
After they all left, Zhang Guangyi looked at Su Pingan's leaving figure with a funny and angry expression, and finally couldn't help but said: "This kid, he should be the Su Pingan that Mr. Luo said. No wonder he was picked up by Mr. Luo.
The Marquis specially told me that he should be tempered and tempered, this boy is really smart and dishonest."
The Confucian scholar next to him couldn't help laughing and said: "Yes, he is also the first person who dares to say that you have evil intentions in front of the general."
"Hahaha...Then I'll wait and see if he is really worthy of the important task as the old marquis said. After all, Hulao Pass is not a place for ordinary soldiers."
