Chapter 718: Goodbye Zhang
In the vast corridor of western Liaoning, a team of elite cavalry is galloping on horseback.
All members of this army are heavily armoured, the black armor is simple and heavy, and there are cold rays circulating on the sharp blades from time to time. Although the number of people is small, the momentum is extremely strong, and even people who don't know how to fight can see that this is definitely a fierce soldier.
The whole territory of western Liaoning has built a gallop road, and this group of cavalry naturally galloped on the gallop road. The West Liaoning Corridor is the key coverage area of the 10,000-village plan, relying on the Chi Road system, and there are many villages and towns scattered on both sides. Among them, there are not only Pingzhou-funded construction, but also player construction, and of course, joint venture villages.
The cavalry did not stop as they passed beside them, and in the blink of an eye they passed one village after another, galloping off into the distance.
"This ...... This is why this army is so terrifying"
A younger-looking player couldn't help but ask after the army had been driving past for a full two minutes.
"Dare to gallop on the border of Pingzhou, naturally it is the Pingzhou army. The black armor and black horse, at a glance, you can tell that it is the black armor Xuanqi led by Shang Ji. ”
The other, a slightly older player, was surprised and explained.
"That's how a husband should be!"
The young player looked intently in the direction where the Black Armor Xuanqi had disappeared, and muttered to himself.
"Smack!"
The middle-aged man slapped the young player on the head unceremoniously, and said in a sullen voice: "What do you want the little rabbit cub, hurry up and see how the grain harvest in the east of the village is going!" Lao Tzu has smashed half of his life's savings in this village this time, if you can't take advantage of the opportunity of the national war to return to the capital, you just wait to drink the northwest wind! ”
"Oops!"
The young man who was beaten immediately exclaimed, hugged his head and muttered: "If you have something to say, don't keep beating your head!" ”
"Don't go quickly, double the blessing of the state, after this village, there will be no such store, not a minute or a second can be delayed!"
The middle-aged man's eyes widened, so frightened that the young man subconsciously shrank his head, and didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he hurriedly trotted to the east of the village to check the situation.
This is a very common player-built village, and there are tens of thousands of such villages scattered throughout Pingzhou, most of which are mainly engaged in the production of basic materials such as grain, wood, and stone.
If Pingzhou opens a state of double blessings, the happiest people are these players in self-built villages and towns in addition to Shang Ji. With a 100 percent increase in production efficiency, even the worst villages have begun to turn a profit, not to mention those that were doing well.
Thanks to this wave of state blessings, many villages and towns have passed the most difficult initial stage of entrepreneurship. The lord players who started a business in Pingzhou began to make profits on a large scale, which naturally attracted more players to invest in Pingzhou.
According to Deng Yan's report, in just two months, Bejiafu received a full 2,000 applications for village construction, and according to this momentum, it will not take a year to complete the task of adding 10,000 villages ahead of schedule.
According to Deng Yan's rough estimates, these "entrepreneurs" will invest hundreds of millions of gold in Pingzhou in the next year, and bring a large number of population migration and food growth.
Every person, every grain of grain, and every village here will become part of Pingzhou's comprehensive strength, providing more manpower and material resources for Pingzhou!
As these villages grow, Pingzhou's revenues will skyrocket. When I took the road of "investment promotion", I really went the right way!
The topic goes back to the army just now, these two thousand elites can be called the essence of the black armor Xuan cavalry, the rank of the soldiers starts at the eighth order, and the ninth order soldiers account for one-third, which is the personal guard of the Shang Ji.
Since the pro-guard troops have been dispatched, Shang Ji himself is naturally among them.
If your heart is fine enough and your eyes are good enough, you can find that directly above this black armor Xuanqi, two small black dots are constantly spinning and flying left and right.
These two little black dots are Shang Ji and Zhao Yun!
Having acquired the second day horse form, no one can resist trying. Taking advantage of this trip to Mrs. Zhang's City, Shang Ji rode a dragon, transformed into a second form, and soared into the sky! And Zhao Yun, who accompanied him, was also itching, and then he also launched his second form.
In the second form, the size of the war horse suddenly became larger, making the already handsome dragon appear even taller and more powerful. At the same time, a translucent energy wing with a length stretched out on each of the two ribs of the dragon.
With an excited hiss, the wings fluttered, and the Pegasus state of the dragon humped Shang Ji Huo and rose!
The flying altitude of the dragon climbed rapidly, and the two thousand black-armored Xuanqi on the ground quickly turned into a group of small ants. The howling wind made his face hurt, and Shang Ji had to move Zhenyuan and maintain a layer of shield on his body to resist the increasingly strong wind.
However, Lilong, who didn't care about the strong wind, hissed and flapped his wings excitedly from time to time, and was quite happy to drive.
Shang Ji took a closer look and found that a thin protective film automatically appeared on the surface of the dragon's body in the Tianma state, which was very hidden and difficult to find if it was not specially observed. It is this protective film that keeps Gangfeng out of the body and gives Lilong the ability to swim in the sky.
In addition, gaining the ability to fly is only one of the manifestations of the second form. Shang Ji found that the dragon in the Pegasus state had a lot of improvements in speed and strength, and even the incidental attributes had been slightly improved.
Controlling his speed so as not to disconnect from the Black Armor Rider, Shang Ji is trying to adapt to the battle in Pegasus form. There are still some differences between ground battles and sky battles, and after opening the second state, fighting in the sky will also become the norm, and Shang Ji needs to familiarize himself with it in advance.
An hour later, the dragon hissed a little unwillingly, and then began to descend to the altitude of its flight. A moment later, the dragon's four hooves set foot on the earth again.
I saw its wings tremble, and the translucent light wings gradually disappeared. At the same time, Lilong also returned to its normal state.
Shang Ji knew that this was the duration of the Pegasus state.
After careful calculation, Shang Ji found that Lilong could maintain the second state for up to one and a half hours at a time under normal circumstances, which was quite plenty of time for the battle.
In fact, maintaining the second form consumes the physical strength of the war horse, and if it is at the cost of permanent damage to the war horse, it can also extend the time of the second state again. It's just that no one will do this until the moment of life and death!
"Lord!"
Zhao Yun next to him snorted lightly, interrupting Shang Ji's thoughts.
It turned out that when Shang Ji landed, Zhao Yun also controlled the war horse to come down. It's just that unlike Shang Ji, Zhao Yun's war horse level is slightly higher than that of Lilong, so the second state lasts longer. Shang Ji was forced to end the second state, while Zhao Yun took the initiative to end.
"Lord, there is Mrs. Zhang's City not far ahead!"
Zhao Yun pointed to the west and said to Shang Ji.
"Let's go!"
Shang Ji waved his hand and led the black armor to gallop towards Lady Zhang's city.
Outside the city of Mrs. Zhang, twenty miles away from the city gate, the high-level officials of the Zhen family led by the Zhang family and Li Wan, the captain who was responsible for managing the military of Mrs. Zhang City, were waiting for Shang Ji to arrive again.
According to the original agreement between Shang Ji and the Zhang family, the position of the city lord of Mrs. Zhang belonged to the Zhang family, and the hereditary replacement. All government affairs in the city, except for the military, were handed over to Mrs. Zhang, and the city lord managed by himself, and Xiangping did not interfere in any way.
Although Li Wan is not well-known in the Pingzhou Army, he is Shang Ji's henchman. It is one of the first two hundred black-armored horsemen, and his loyalty is unquestionable.
Seeing from a distance that Shang Ji led Hei Jiaxuan to ride a horse, everyone hurriedly sorted out their appearances and waited to see them.
"Phew!"
With a soft shout, Shang Ji jumped on his horse, and the two thousand Xuan horses behind him immediately stopped their horses and looked at the Zhen people silently.
"I'm waiting to meet the envoy (lord)!"
"Xiangping has been absent for more than a year, and Mrs. is still in style!"
Shang Ji stood on his horse, looked at the Zhang family, who had obviously been carefully dressed, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
It was this woman who relied on rumors of a little fragrant color to establish a special status in Pingzhou. Although Shang Ji repeatedly emphasized to Deng Yan, Liu Yi and other close people that he had nothing to do with her, Deng Yan and others also believed it.
However, Pingzhou is too large, and there are not a few people who believe in this rumor, and many of them are high-ranking officials in Pingzhou.
Even if you don't believe it, you don't dare to provoke the Zhang family easily. This kind of thing is not afraid of 10,000 in case, this Zhang is also extremely beautiful, God knows when Shang Ji will put it in the room on a whim, and when the small pillow wind blows, it will be over
Relying on this little means, except for Liu Yi, Deng Yan and a few other people, whoever sees her will let her score three points. And she is extremely intelligent, and never provokes people who can't be provoked. Even if there are conflicts with other people sometimes, it is to open the way with the money that Zhen is best at, and he does things without leakage, and Shang Ji has tried to teach her a lesson several times, but he has never been able to grasp the handle that makes sense.
Later, Zhen's eldest daughter Zhen Jiang married Shang Ji's righteous brother, and Pingzhou didn't drive Deng Yan, so no one dared to provoke Zhen.
Zhen's ability to gain a firm foothold in western Liaoning in just one year is due to Zhang's own contributions!
It is rare for a middle-aged widowed woman, born in troubled times, and in internal and external difficulties in her family, to be able to do this.
"The general has a good reputation, and the concubine is like a willow, how can he be worthy of the general's praise!"
Zhang bowed slightly, his voice was soft and soft, and the hearts of those who listened to it were itching.
"Madame said with a smile, if you talk about Madame Pu Liu's posture, can there still be beauties in this world?"
Shang Ji smiled and said casually.
Who knew that Zhang's expression suddenly became mournful, and he glanced at Shang Ji amorously: "General, since the general thinks it is beautiful, why ...... Why don't you ............ over the years?"
Zhang's voice became lower and lower, and finally it was completely inaudible, leaving only a resentful expression.
The air was suddenly quiet, and everyone lowered their heads in unison, but the thick gossip in their eyes revealed their thoughts!
Shang Ji took a deep breath, resisted the urge to beat the Zhang family, and roared: "General Chuanben ordered the whole army to enter the city!! ”
