Chapter 1682 New Horns
The war on the Jinyao front has entered a stalemate, so it is not a problem for He Lingchuan to leave for a day or two. Back then, there was also a war on the northwest front of Yuan State, and didn't General Ke Jihai rush back to Yuan Capital to ask for money and food?
He Lingchuan was very decisive and left as soon as he said he would.
He briefly explained the military duties, changed into a set of military armor and a helmet, and traveled on a light horse in simple attire and in a low-key manner.
……
He Lingchuan arrived at the south gate of Panlong City after a long journey, just in time for sunrise.
This majestic and imposing city sits above thousands of golden rays, bathed in the morning mist, iron-blooded and romantic, and every brick and stone, every scar has its own story.
The sunrise over Panlong City has become a famous scenic spot on the plain, and many people come here to wait before dawn.
However, today the inner city of Namdaemun is under construction, with nearly a thousand craftsmen working busily.
Panlong City is no longer short of money or people, and projects are carried out directly on a large scale, unlike in the past when they had to make do with minor repairs.
He Lingchuan took a quick look and could only see that they were building the foundation of the wall; in addition, there was also a platform next to the black dragon sculpture, but he didn't know what it was used for.
The black dragon sculpture is carved on the inner wall of the South Gate. It has whiskers, claws, body and tail, and is very complete from head to tail. Unlike the black dragon totems in other places, which only have a dragon head.
It is so majestic that everyone who sees it for the first time is amazed.
Now that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has revived, the black dragon's horn has grown another section, splitting into a short branch, like a new bud on a branch, and it is still a little cute on the huge dragon's head.
He Lingchuan looked for a long time before going to the government office.
Zhong Shengguang was meeting with an important foreign envoy and had to talk for a long time, so he had no time to pay attention to him. However, the messenger immediately said:
"The commander has instructed that General He should come back in an hour to attend the important ceremony at the end of the Chen hour at the South City Gate."
"Okay." He Lingchuan asked casually, "Is the South Gate broken? Why is it under repair again?"
At this time, several young generals walked by the corridor of the government office, and their eyes lit up when they saw He Lingchuan.
In the past few years, Panlong City has promoted many young generals, and some have come here from outside to join the army. As long as He Lingchuan doesn't come back for a while, he can see several new faces.
But his name was widely spread among the generals.
"General Hu Yi!" When the young generals saw him, they subconsciously stood at attention with their backs straight.
He Lingchuan exchanged a few words with them before they left with a smile.
The messenger then said, "Commander Zhong has given instructions to build another wall at the south gate! Other defensive fortifications must also be upgraded and reinforced."
He Lingchuan was shocked.
In reality, the South Gate of Panlong City had three walls in the later period, and he had also seen them in the ruins; but in the Panlong world, the South Gate of Panlong City has always had two walls, including an outer wall and an urn wall.
Now, Zhong Shengguang ordered the construction of a third wall, just like in later generations.
This signal shows that he believes that future wars will be more intense, and the fighting may even spread to Panlong City!
No one knows the progress of the war better than Zhong Shengguang.
Therefore, he has deeply realized the cruelty of this war.
After leaving the office, He Lingchuan went to Shumin Academy.
Last year, the academy transplanted a new tree demon from the wild and planted it directly under the corridor.
It's spring and summer again. The bougainvillea flowers, so densely blooming that no leaves can be seen, cascade down from the high walls and roofs, like a pink waterfall!
In the well-ordered academy, there is such explosive, unrestrained and wild beauty.
Children passed under the flowers, chattering.
Just as He Lingchuan turned the corner, Master Sun also came along the flower waterfall, wearing a lake-green dress with a light red crabapple hairpin on her temples, like an elf-like lovebird on a bougainvillea.
"Why are you here?" Sun Fuling smiled, her eyes sparkling. "I heard that the fighting on the Jinyao front was very intense."
"It's hard to fight without General Hong." He Lingchuan's mission is to defend Yuheng City, while General Hong is leading his troops to attack Xianyou. The pressures on both sides are very different. "I just walked through several classrooms and you were not there."
"There are many new teachers in the academy. I won't be teaching for the next few months. I have to help the Military Merit Department sort out the rewards for the skills."
"Kung Fu reward?"
"Yes, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continues to recover, and the original basic skills and combat techniques can no longer keep up." Sun Fuling helped him brush off a small piece of fallen leaves on his shoulder. "In addition, Lingshan has sent many scholars and great men, and also donated many precious magical skills from Lingshan. Commander Zhong and Dean Xu have convened meetings several times to re-select and reorganize the skills. The basic skills will be distributed in the next few days and can be used by everyone; the others must be exchanged for military merits."
"I understand." From He Lingchuan's perspective, it is the right time to upgrade Panlong City's martial arts and combat skills. Every soldier and practitioner is particularly obsessed with improving their own martial arts. The new martial arts and new magical powers listed in the Military Merit Department can motivate them to strive for the first place and gain military merit.
This is an upward channel. Children from poor families can join the army and kill the enemies and also have the opportunity to enter the Tao.
If we don't fight, when can we stand on the same starting line with others?
In terms of the ability to mobilize the entire nation, He Lingchuan has not seen a second force in the world that can compare with Panlong City.
Sun Fuling naturally took his hand and said, "By the way, you came at the right time. Dean Xu mentioned to me this morning that he wanted to see you when he was free."
"I'm walking into a trap now, aren't I?" He Lingchuan hooked his little finger on her palm, "I'll go wherever Master Sun takes me."
Sun Fuling taunted him, "You go wherever I go. What if I find a sacred mountain or a great river to hide in?"
He Lingchuan smiled and said, "I'll go with you. I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals."
I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals? Sun Fuling pondered over these words and glanced at him: "Are you willing to abandon your Seymour Legion and Tiger Wing Army?"
Which man would give up the power in his hands easily?
"If you are willing to abandon Panlong City, why should I be reluctant to give it up?" He Lingchuan spread his hands to her, "There is nothing outside of the body, the four elements are empty!"
This guy is mocking her for not letting go of Panlong City, right? Sun Fuling nodded: "Okay, your tongue is getting sharper and sharper, you can go and discuss with Dean Xu."
"Forget it, I'd better just be a layman and not steal Xin Yi's job."
Sun Fuling knew that he only had a little ink in his belly, and he couldn't squeeze it out any more. "Xin Yi is really a good partner for Dean Xu to sit and talk about things. They talk by the hour. Dean Xu usually says he is busy, but he doesn't count the time when talking about this. Mr. Xin is leaving, but he is reluctant to let him go and wants to chat with him for a while longer."
"Xin Yi is very knowledgeable, and it's just right for him to exchange ideas with Dean Xu." Xu Shichu has a wide range of interests, and what's more rare is that he is proficient in all of them. The fact that Xin Yi can talk to him on the same subject shows that this person is really capable.
