Chapter 8, Fifteen Years Later

After the old Taoist priest finished explaining, he disappeared, leaving Xiao Wu still eating there and eating very happily, and Dongfang Qing also took out his housekeeping skills, saying that he would take Xiao Wu to eat all the delicacies in the Xuanxin Continent.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, fifteen years later, the continent is still the same continent.

Dongping Mansion is also the same as in the past, with all kinds of shops on both sides of the bustling streets, full of traffic.

It is said that the coastal city of Dongping Mansion is second only to the imperial capital, because of its proximity to the sea, the maritime trade is particularly developed, and there are a total of seven major ports in Dongping Province, except for the long-term blockade of three military seaports, the other four ports are all civilian and commercial trade ports.

Although most of the time it was for trade, all four ports would be requisitioned in the event of war, and the Ming family was located in the middle of Dongping Province, known as the city center.

When you come to the gate of the Ming family, you will find that there will never be pedestrians within fifty meters in front of the gate of the Ming family, let alone riding a horse, because this road is specially prepared for the Ming family army to transmit military information, except for the people of the Ming family army, idle people are not allowed to approach.

The big plaque at the door is written with three vigorous and powerful characters of the palace marshal's house, two stone unicorns at the door, it seems that the status of the master is noble, there are five warriors wearing black armor on both sides of the gate, and there is a big hall when you enter the gate, and the flat on the door is written with three words of the registration office.

Normally, those who come here to attend the meeting must first rank here, and hand over their personal weapons, and pass through the registry office, which is a three-building in the shape of a finished glyph.

On the left is the Military Judge Advocate General's Office, on the right is the Military Intelligence Department, and in the middle is the military intelligence collected and summarized by the Military Aircraft Hall in peacetime will be sent here, which is also the place where the wartime meeting is held, and it is also the most strictly guarded place, and then behind is the living area of the Ming family, and there is a back garden through the living area.

The Military Aircraft Hall is a place where wartime meetings are held, and all participants are not allowed to carry weapons, and violators will not be killed, even if it is not wartime, idlers and other people are still not allowed to approach.

Because there were countless open posts and secret posts around this military aircraft hall, the orders they received were not communicated to those who trespassed on to the law on the spot.

Besides, the Military Judge Advocate Office has to mention one person, that is Tu Rui, Tu Rui is an orphan adopted by Ming Zhendong, and he grew up with the three tigers of the Ming family since he was a child, and the old marshal treats him like his own child, and never looks down on him because he is adopted.

And Tu Rui is also a very competitive existence around the old marshal, since he was a child, he has followed the old marshal to fight in the south and the north, and has made countless military exploits, because of the perennial conquest and the training of the old marshal, the current Tu Rui has reached the realm of the middle stage of the martial god, and he is also absolutely loyal to the Ming family.

At the same time, he is also the old marshal's bodyguard, although Tu Rui is the director of the Military Judge Advocate General's Office, but in addition to the usual implementation of some military laws, the most important thing is that Tu Rui has a blood killing team of 500 people under his hands.

And these five hundred people are also orphans once adopted by the old marshal, although this team rarely participates in large-scale wars, but if you mention this team, there is no one who does not feel afraid.

Legend has it that more than 20 years ago, Tu Rui was ordered by the old marshal to carry out the beheading of the enemy commander, and at that time Tu Rui only brought fifty members of the blood killing team, taking advantage of the night, he forced into the enemy camp, and killed the head of the enemy commander in the chaos, which is not terrible, the most terrible is still to come.

A squad of fifty people can actually retreat at the cost of zero casualties after the mission, and when the enemy army comes back to the taste and sends 20,000 cavalry to pursue Tu Rui, the result is that the blood killing team kills another 20,000 along the way.

After this battle, there are incomplete statistics, the enemy was killed more than 30,000 people in this battle, although the enemy army was afraid of face to block the news, but the news of this incident still spread far and wide, and for a time several surrounding countries were in an uproar.

To explain why the strength of the family's blood killing group is so strong, it is only because the members of these five hundred people have all reached the level of martial artists, and martial artists can cultivate internal strength, and they are not known how many times stronger than ordinary warriors.

To put it bluntly, the Military Intelligence Department is a place to collect military intelligence, and the person in charge here is Hu Zhan, who is also an orphan adopted by the old marshal, and also serves as the personal guard of the old marshal, and his strength has also reached the realm of the middle stage of the martial god.

In wartime, it is mainly with the army staff officer, responsible for all military intelligence exchanges of the Ming army, the secret agents of the Ming family military intelligence department are all over the continent, constituting an intelligence network all over the continent, the military intelligence department is responsible for collecting intelligence from all sides, and the blood killing team is responsible for execution, these two can be said to be the right hand men of the old marshal.

Now the fifteen-year period is approaching, this day is the day of graduation from the Ming Jiutian private school, because the Ming Jiutian can not practice martial arts, so in the past ten years, the old marshal has sent the nine days to the private school, even if he can't practice martial arts in this life, but it is also good to be a civil official through the imperial examination.

"Oops... Little Hou Ye, are you out of school? ”

"Little Hou Ye, I heard that today is your graduation day.."

"Little Hou Ye, you have time to come to my house to play..."

"Little Hou Ye, the donkey meat that has just come out of the pot is burned, can you have a piece?"

"Little Marquis,............................."

When he came back from school on the ninth day of tomorrow, the neighbors along the way greeted him warmly when they saw him.

"I said uncles and aunts, I have told you many times, this place in Dongping Mansion is my Ming family, here I have the final say, in the future, everyone should not always be called by the little marquis and the little marquis, it is strange, you can call me Jiutian, Xiaotian, or the four tigers" Ming Jiutian responded heartily to the neighbors.

"Oh, my little marquis, how dare we, last time you canceled all the residents of Dongping Mansion to bow to you, we are already flattered, if you call your nickname, then the old marshal will not pull us all to the army."

"Yes, yes, little marquis, don't embarrass us little people."

Every time he went to the street to play in the past nine days, all the people who saw him had to bow down to him, and he went to school every day in private school, and the teachers and classmates also had to bow down, so he felt very troublesome, and it caused a lot of trouble to himself and everyone, so in a fit of anger, he directly canceled the bow ceremony, and Ming Jiutian himself was very bold, and he didn't care about these red tape at all.

"Okay, let it be, anyway, you remember, even if you call me by my nickname, I won't be angry, today I graduated from private school, I'm in a good mood, Second Uncle Liu, bring me two catties of sauce beef, a jar of daughter red, I want to get drunk today, and let our housekeeper send you the wine money later!" Jiutian is really happy today, I have been in a private school for ten years, and I finally graduated today.

"Little Marquis, what are you talking about, how dare Xiaomin ask for your wine money? Last time, my dog Shengzi offended the son of the overseer, if you hadn't come forward to solve it, Xiaomin's family would have confessed a long time ago, and my dog Shengzi can be a classmate with you, that is the blessing of his life" Second Uncle Liu is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, last time his dog Shengzi offended the second son of Chen Dujun in the private school, the second son of the Chen family has been spoiled since he was a child, where is he willing to let go of Gou Shengzi, fortunately met Ming Jiutian, and only solved this matter.

"Second Uncle Liu, you are too polite, okay, I'll take the wine and meat, so that you don't have a good conscience!" Jiutian knew in his heart that Second Uncle Liu was just a simple and simple ordinary person, and he also knew how to repay his kindness, if he insisted on giving money, I was afraid that he would really not be able to meet in the future.

"Okay, little marquis, you're good to go..."Second Uncle Liu said politely.

"Tu Ling, Hu Yuan, bring your things, let's go home, we have to have a good drink in the evening" Jiutian said with a smile, and walked in front alone after speaking.
