 Chapter 57: Perfected Hu

"So this Mission has two directions..."

Wu Ming talked eloquently: "First is Li Rubi defeating the government's army, killing Wang Xuanfan, attacking the state city, and claiming that the king's organization as Heaven's mandate!"

"There is also the possibility that he will suffer a big defeat and retreat like a tortoise to the Nine Mountains County, becoming desperate and perverse..."

Having said that, he shook his head helplessly: "Although I really want to be in the first case, the difficulty is too high, so the second is the most likely!

"In other words, Li Rubi will suffer a defeat after a great victory?"

Xie Xiaodi covered her cherry lips.

In fact, these kinds of heroes rising up in troubled times always had smooth-sailing experiences before, but after suffering a defeat, they will go against their original plan and proclaim themselves as king or emperor which only ruined their foundations. There had been many similar cases in Great Zhou's history. 

"This man..."

However, looking at Wu Ming at this time, Xie Xiaodi's eyes completely changed: "The world is clear, the analysis is easy. He understands the way of luck and the use of fate. It's Wang Zuo's talent! No! Maybe a little higher..."

After all, Wu Ming does not seem to be just a teenager of sixteen or seventeen!

"Then... Yu Shaojun is over here?"

Xiao Jidu hesitated.

"Some information can be exchanged moderately..."

Xie Xiaodi pondered: "After all, his mission is the same as ours, that is, a grasshopper on a rope..."

"That's right..."

Xiao Jidu nodded in agreement but did not notice a trace of strange color in Wu Ming's eyes.

.....

At the general station.

Hundreds of new recruits were already in place. Watching Wu Ming ahead board the high platform, Zhong Ting, Niu Yong, and others were a little excited. 

"We have seen Master Guardian General!"

At that time, five hundred men saluted in unison, and White Qi turned into a cloud, Red Qi was swallowed into the middle and quickly transformed into an iron-blooded qi. 

"This Luck Qi is going to exceed my level in the Great Zhou..."

A strange light flashed in Wu Ming's eyes, thinking lightly, and immediately ordered: "He Zihai!"

"Subordinate is here!"

He Zihai looked excited and was the first to go out.

"You also had military exploits before, and I will seal you up for your meritorious service! Now, you will declare everyone's merits!"

"Thank you for the promotion!"

He Zihai bowed and saluted. Standing up again, he faced the people below him and opened up the military merit book: "In this battle, the five people who have made greatest achievements are Zhong Ting, Niu Yong, Li Zhen, Chen Guang, Gu Guan..."

"Zhong Ting!"

Wu Ming touched his drink. 

"Subordinate is here!"

Under many envious eyes around, Zhong Ting took a deep breath and knelt out of the row.

"You beheaded ten Rank 2, followed me to kill the enemy general, and broke through the enemy city... I will now promote you to Rank 3 and pull you up as an 8th-Grade Battalion Leader!"

"Niu Yong, you have been brave enough to take the lead, and you have done a lot. I will appoint you to be my Squadron Leader!"

"Li Zhen, Chen Guang, Gu Guan... are all promoted to the Squadron Leader!"

.....

In fact, this non-conventional guard is Wu Ming's private army but naturally, it's impossible to say this.

But these people all have great achievements, and it is not possible to not report them.

In addition, Wu Ming still left a lot of room for vacancies, such as four Battalion Leader positions. In fact, it was just to place hands on it and this attitude is considered pretty good.

"Thank you, Guard General!"

These people were all loyal and immediately bowed down.

Seeing the gathering of luck, Wu Ming couldn't stop laughing.

At this time, it is probably clear that the 9th Grade is pure white, the 7th Grade is crimson, and the 5th Grade is golden. As for blue-purple, it must be above the 3rd Grade to even have it. 

In fact, Zhong Ting has a golden fate, enough to command thousands of people. He has a general's talent, so he is naturally more than enough to be an 8th Grade Battalion Leader.

The same holds true with Niu Yong whose fate is red. It's good to sit on Wu Ming's old position, they are all talented people.

‘Originally, there were a lot of talents in my team. In one fell swoop, they formed a backbone like giving a tiger wings. No one can take them away, and... they also support my fate..’

Wu Ming is also very satisfied with this.

With such a huge amount of luck, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

Even, there is already a faint feeling of achieving Grand Perfection in inner cultivation.

"After Refined Master, there is the Law Master... It is just that... the Law Master part of the "Yellow Court Yin Talisman Scripture" is missing. If it's not completed, although there is a chance to breakthrough to Law Master, there is no possibility to reach True Daoist in this lifetime. With the True Daoist part uncompleted, I can't breakthrough to Heavenly Master... but this is a bit far away for now..."[1]

After arranging the generals, Wu Ming took the official document and told him that he wanted him to declare subordinates' merit, add officials to the ranks, and get official seals and official uniforms.

At the same time, inside and outside Zhending county city, soldiers on patrol could be seen everywhere with the Army Qi being faint. 

Since the surprise attack failed, Li Rubi did not give up the hope of attacking the city, but transferred to the third capital. At this time, all seven were gathered here. There were 20,000 regular soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, the so-called 50,000 soldiers. The army pointed directly at the city of Caozhou.

The Province Governor also fully delegated their power to Wang Xiaofang and ordered him to rectify the state soldiers. The war was on the verge of happening. 

In Zhending County, the original county governor's mansion naturally became Great Commander Li Rubi. 

This yard is very beautifully built, with red bricks and green tiles, carved beams and jade buildings, pavilions, and many more.

At the door, there was another group of soldiers guarding, they were highly alert. 

Fortunately, Wu Ming was already a general at this point. With a valuable status, when he reported his arrival, it didn't take long for him to get through.

However, while this was the case, when the matter was finished, two hours had passed.

"And many more!"

However, at the door, Wu Ming saw an acquaintance.

"It's you!"

He looked at Yu Shaojun  and saw that the other party was dressed in a jade robe with gold and silver thread. He was dressed as a Daoist, but the jewel in his hand had disappeared.

Of course, the most unforgettable thing is that this person stands out from the crowd like a crane in a flock of chicken, and his arrogant and disdainful manner is even more difficult for ordinary people to imitate. [2]

The Great Dao is indifferent to Heaven and Earth, treating everyone like stray dogs.

But he directly treats all the common people in this world as dogs!

Of course, Yu Shaojun saw Wu Ming but his eyes flashed a strange color. 

"It turns out to be Daoist Brother Yu!"

Wu Ming saluted with his hand as a courtesy.

This person seemed to mix quite well, the officers and soldiers around him saluted in awe and then left.

"Come with me, Master Hu wants to see you!"

Yu Shaojun was concise and succinct. After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but look down at Wu Ming: "Unexpectedly... you've actually advanced in the army so quickly. 7th Grade, tsk tsk..."

Although being a dragon's follower [2] is extremely dangerous, entering the system has many benefits.

At least, a Seventh Grade official can enjoy the red-colored luck every day, even Yu Shaojun could not help but envy.

It is naturally common for monks who have this great fortune to improve their Daoism.

"Master Hu? You worshiped a master?"

Wu Ming caught the key point at once: "The Daoist surnamed Hu, could it be..."

"Yes! I have already entered Nanshan's sect and became his named disciple, doing chores for him... It's a pity that I can't reach a higher level!"

Old Man Nanshan [3]is highly respected in the Nine Mountain Army and can be called below than one person and above ten thousand people. Even formal disciples can lead a leisurely life as Daoist officials. There is no need to fight for life and death every day and you will still be credited luck.

Of course, there are only a few core disciples who have this treatment. For a foreigner like Yu Shaojun, don't expect this good thing.

"Let's go!"

Yu Shaojun's sleeves fluttered, and he went first. Wu Ming hesitated but soon followed.

Next to the county guard mansion, there is another big mansion, which was allocated to the Daoist Nanshan. Here, the servants are like clouds and the maidservants like rain. All kinds of enjoyment are available. Even in terms of specifications, it is only slightly worse than Li Rubi.

"I have seen the Young Daoist!"

"IsYoung Daoist leading someone to meet the Old Daoist?"

"Young Daoist's daoist magic is profound, I will wait..."

Obviously, as a disciple of the Daoist Nanshan, Yu Shaojun has gained a lot of flattery even if it is just in-name. 

It's just that he is cold-faced and loved to ignore it. Fortunately, everyone knows that this is natural and did not find it surprising.

The two kept going deep, and after walking through a large green garden, a simple thatched house appeared in front of Wu Ming.

"Master! People are coming!"

Yu Shaojun bowed to the wooden door in a very humble and respectful manner.

"Very good! Go down and let him in by himself!"

A voice came, faintly sharp, and with an indescribable sense of gloom. It caused Wu Ming to straighten up in chills.

Just by listening to the sound, Wu Ming knew that this person's attainment in Daoism was profound and definitely was above himself. It was probably the strongest that he had seen, even Wu Qing is inferior!

"Sorry to disturb you!"

Wu Ming took a deep breath and suddenly pushed the door in.

Bang!

As soon as he entered the door, he habitually squinted his eyes and saw the golden yellow luck even converging into a trend, with a little bit of blue in the middle, falling on the top of an old man's head, and being continuously absorbed, as if there was a bottomless hole.

"Sure enough, it's the Fifth-Grade Yellow Court Qi!"

Seeing this, Wu Ming's heart was moved.

H knew that in any state, canonized state teachers are generally 1st Grade, or even higher, and Daoists are also 3rd Grade. This is an existence that can extract the foundation of national luck, which is expressed in azure luck!

But now, Li Rubi has only a few counties under his banner. His fate is merely golden, not azure. How can he be canonized?

Therefore, the Daoist he canonized, at most, has only a 5th Grade's golden qi. 

However, this is also very terrible.

For Li Rubi at this time, golden luck qi is also one of his foundations. Being extracted this way, even if it is supplemented, the foundation is still weak. 

Daoism, Buddhism. They are all concerned by the fact that without the lord's permission, there is no way to achieve Dharma affairs.

But if it is really going to happen, this country's collapse is not far away and it is even possible that the leader of the country will die!

"Military Officer Wu! Don't be so cautious!"

The old man's face was ruddy, the lines on his face were soft, with an amieable appearance. At first glance, he seemed to be an expert.

He didn'tt know why but looking at each other's eyes, Wu Ming felt that every pore on his body reverse upside down.

At the same time, his nose picked up a scent of deer musk and a strange fishy smell.

"It's a fox!"

Between the electric lights and the flickering flames of flint, Wu Ming understood everything: "It turns out that this Daoist Nanshan man is a foreign creature, a transformed fox!"

[1]: Like I said before, Law Master can also be used interchangeably with Mage and Heavenly Master with Celestial Master. 

[2]: This is not to be taken literally. A dragon, in this context, is a person of exceptional ability; the dragon being Li

[3]: Literally translated as Old Man South Mountain.
