The 161st chapter floating horse (8)(2/2)
"What is your cultivation level?" Zhang Xing asked back.
"The eight extraordinary meridians connect the six meridians, but only the Rendu meridians have been silent for almost two years." Li Ding became visibly sad on the spot.
Qin Bao and Xiao Zhou were obviously a little shocked. They probably knew that Li Silang was a semi-master, but they didn't expect that he had reached the point where he almost crushed them... But on the other hand, the eight meridians connected with the six meridians.
However, there was no movement in Du's two meridians, which made him look pitiful again.
After all, everyone knows that once the two meridians of Ren and Du are opened, the other six meridians will be opened, and it is only a matter of time before the elixir is condensed; on the other hand, these two meridians are different, and even if you open all the other six meridians, you will probably stop moving forward.
.
"That's much better than me." Zhang Xing said unhappily. "When I came back, the Chong meridians were all clear, and the Dao meridians were almost a breath away. Now I just passed this breath at the end of the year. It's considered a success.
It's just two meridians... If you don't notice the roof, it's just because your mind is on other places all day and all night, and you are mentally weak."
Li Ding thought for a while, looked up at the roof, but could only shake his head.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door in the yard.
Li Ding was speechless and looked at the roof again. Zhang Xing, who had just said his rebellious words, was magnanimous and did not move at all, while Qin Bao took the initiative to get up and go outside to open the door.
After a while, he came back and replied: "Third brother, this is the old man who delivered the firewood."
As he said that, he saw Qin Bao taking the initiative to help open the door and remove the threshold.
Everyone was relieved, but Zhang Xing was surprised. He put down the pliers and stood up and walked out. Then he faced the kind-faced old man and asked seriously:
"Old man, you came to deliver firewood on the third day of the first lunar month. Is there something wrong?"
After hearing this, the old man in cloth clothes with a dark complexion and breathing heavily came to the courtyard in a hurry and wanted to bow down, but was stopped by Qin Bao.
"If you have anything to do, just say it. I can't afford to bow down to you." Zhang Xing also quickly waved his hand in response.
And the old man was obviously older. Although he got up, he wanted to say something several times, but he couldn't express it clearly... In the end, Yueniang, who still pretended to be studying, couldn't listen anymore and rushed out to translate:
"He just wants to ask, is the imperial court going to recruit Ding again? Don't forget his son... Is he worried that his son will be captured again?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing suddenly realized and blurted out. "That's true, but I really don't know if there is also a conscription here in Dongdu?"
"Yes." Li Ding, who was eating steamed buns, added in the main room at the back. "I saw Nanya's Jun order at the Ministry of War. The logistics follow the rules of the previous two expeditions, but I'm not sure of the scale yet...
If we follow the first regulations, there should be 100,000 soldiers in Dongdu, all responsible for transporting grain, 50,000 inside the city, 50,000 outside the city... But there may not be that many. The first time there were one million soldiers, two
Millions of servants.”
Zhang Xing shook his head and looked at the old man.
The old man's face had already turned pale with fear, but he just bent down and saluted, and then hurried out, even abandoning the car.
Zhang Xing and Qin Bao both wanted to shout to stop, but they both closed their mouths one after another.
Two days later, that is, the day when Wang Jiwang's minister came to invite Zhang Xing to drink, the imperial court officially announced the scale of the Eastern Expedition - sending five armies, Jinwu Guards, Guanxi, Hebei Tunjun, Jianghuai, Jiangdong Water
The army has merged with Xuzhou Camp, Hejian Camp, Youzhou Camp, and Jiangdu Camp, with a total of 500,000 horse infantry and naval troops, and recruited one million civilians from various places to maintain logistics, and began to gather troops and horses today to recruit troops.
Ding, stand side by side and face east.
On the same day, a decree was sent to re-establish the frontline camp in Dengzhou and the logistics camp in Bianzhou, recruit military attachés from all over the country, and recruit masters of cultivation level above Ningdan from all over the country to accompany them.
He vowed to wipe out the Dongyi, unify the four seas, and achieve unparalleled achievements.
But that evening, Zhang Xing, who returned to the White Tower after drinking, learned a trivial piece of news from Qian Tang, who took over his shift - the permanent official servant of the Second Patrol Group whom they were familiar with when they were in Jing'an Terrace.
Xiao Gu actually died in the collapse of the Babel Tower that day.
Counting the time, it has been almost five months.
