Chapter 283 The Ninth Mountain is flooded with recruits (asking for monthly tickets)
That afternoon, at the bustling Fangshikou in the south city, the crowd on the street suddenly became noisy, and the crowd quickly separated into two sides from far away.
Immediately afterwards, a white horse with hair as white as flowing clouds rushed out!
Above, a soldier in black armor with a red flag on his back was holding a horse corpse in one hand and holding a scroll of warrant in the other hand. He was running through the streets and alleys, shouting loudly.
"drive"
"drive"
"According to the order of the General of the Ninth Mountain, now that demons are rising and the world is in chaos, the Ninth Mountain is recruiting soldiers and horses to slay demons and monsters, and recruit knowledgeable people from all over the world!"
"drive"
"."
It flew with loud shouts, running through the streets and alleys.
Behind him, there was another team of similar soldiers. Every time they passed a street corner, a soldier would break away from the team, run into the alley, and shout orders.
Until the leading soldier rode his horse to the South Gate, dismounted, and posted the document in his hand on the city wall.
There, the garrison soldiers who had received the order quickly formed a circle with spears in hand, flags fluttering, and set up a small martial arts arena.
On the martial arts field, which was a hundred feet in radius, there was a thousand-jin bronze tripod, a shiny black vertical stone that was two people tall, and a burly man in green armor, with a big horse and a golden sword, sitting on a big chair, looking around.
The crowd quickly gathered under the city wall of Nanshikou, with pairs of eyes filled with excitement and surprise, noisy voices, and a surging crowd running quickly.
"The Ninth Mountain, that general is recruiting soldiers. Bodhisattva, this is a great opportunity to achieve great things." Someone shouted excitedly.
Some people were whispering with envy.
"Yesterday, that lord generously rewarded the soldiers of the Ninth Mountain. The kid surnamed Wang from the alley next to me was just a soldier in the Ninth Mountain. I heard that the official from the South City government office came to their home in person yesterday, read the commendation document, promoted the son of this family to a small flag officer, and also rewarded him with a lot of money, food, and elixirs. It's really amazing, it brings honor to the family."
"Hey, that's nothing. Remember the big commotion in the North City a few days ago? It was the day when the Ninth Mountain's expeditionary army came back. Didn't it spread that someone bullied the orphans and widows of the Ninth Mountain's sacrificed soldiers? Oh, don't mention it. I heard that the great general showed up in person and killed many people."
As he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice, "I heard that many big names who can fly and hide in the ground have been captured by the general, and he even killed a very powerful person. These big names are not something that we ordinary people can afford to offend. But this general, hey, is willing to stand up for his own soldiers and kill these big names. Tell me, is this acceptable or not?"
"That's awesome! If I can enter the Ninth Mountain, it will be a great honor for my family! I'm going to ask my kid to try it out. He has studied in the martial arts school for several years but has not learned anything. He must at least give me some face."
"."
Most of the people in the surging crowd were ordinary people from the streets and alleys, chattering and making a lot of noise.
The reputation of the Ninth Mountain had already spread among the people in the projection of the Weiyuan Pass battle. Moreover, in the past few days, the troops of the Ninth Mountain returned to the city. The general personally killed many people for the families of the sacrificed soldiers and lavishly rewarded the soldiers who returned alive. All these big guys saw it.
Now, in the eyes of many people, being able to enter the Ninth Mountain means bringing honor to the family and raising their profile.
For a moment, among the huge crowd, pairs of eyes were restless and eager to try.
At this time, the messenger who had posted the document walked to the center of the martial arts arena surrounded by soldiers and horses and shouted:
"The Ninth Mountain is recruiting soldiers and horses, and we are looking for people with insight. Now the demon tribe is invading, and the soldiers on the front line are fighting bloody battles, and there are also thousands of good men in the martial arts world who are fighting on the battlefield!"
As he spoke, the soldier bowed diagonally upwards.
"Jiu Zhonglang once said that every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country. Today, regardless of your background or status, it depends on your ability to be a comrade-in-arms and whether you have the guts to do so."
"Anyone who is strong enough to lift a tripod can enter the Ninth Mountain!"
"Those who can light up the black stone through Qi refining will be appointed as small flag officers and lead ten soldiers."
"Anyone who can hold out for three rounds against the defending captain will be given the general flag and command fifty soldiers."
"Those who are qualified will be appointed as alternate military lieutenants and commanders of thousands of households!"
As the sound came down, the atmosphere quickly reached its climax, and cheers immediately rang out from the crowd.
"I come!"
"Haha, me too."
"."
I saw some people stepping out from the crowd, some leaping into the crowd, and some walking gracefully and elegantly, floating up and breaking through the air.
At the first moment, more than a dozen figures appeared and stepped into the training ground.
Someone went straight to carry the tripod.
Someone went to the black pillar.
Some people were confident in their own strength and chose to fly up directly, stepping onto the martial arts stage surrounded by fluttering flags, and gave the blue-armored captain who was sitting on the big chair an armrest, "Please teach me!"
The captain stood up from his chair and flew down to the martial arts stage. There was a bang, and then the surrounding flags emitted milky white light beams as thick as arms, which formed a protective shield dozens of feet in the sky.
Then, on the martial arts stage, the figure turned into an afterimage and began to move.
Soon, the whole place was in full swing.
Someone gritted his teeth and lifted a thousand-pound tripod. There was a soldier beside him who recorded his breaths. If he could hold on for three breaths, he would shout, "Succeed." The person immediately looked ecstatic. To be able to lift such a weight, one usually has reached the last stage of the first level of body refining, the Bone Refining Stage.
Black Stone is lit up.
On the third level’s martial arts arena, some people persisted for more than three rounds, but were eventually knocked down.
Some passed the test, some failed. Then, more and more people came up. The scene was very lively, and the voices of the crowd rose and fell one after another.
At this time, in a restaurant room a few hundred meters away opposite Nanshikou, a handsome young man in white clothes and long eyebrows stood in front of the window, watching the hustle and bustle with some disdain.
Behind him, two pretty maids in purple gauze skirts were fanning and rubbing his shoulders. There was also an old servant standing beside him, slightly bent over.
"Master, the Ninth Mountain's military recruitment has begun. The Patriarch has instructed you to go on the field."
The old servant next to him reminded him at this time.
After hearing this, the handsome young man looked a little impatient, "I know."
"I don't know what the old man is thinking. He is in the same boat with the Ninth Mountain Lieutenant General and wants me to join the army of the Ninth Mountain. He is really old and confused. Even if I go, I should ask for a position from this young master. It is really troublesome for me to go there in person."
The young man looked somewhat cynical, and his tone was somewhat frivolous and complaining.
This person was none other than the son of the Murong family in Nancheng, named Murong Nan, the youngest son of the head of the Murong family. He was usually romantic and had a casual nature. Suddenly, he was sent by his father to participate in the recruitment of soldiers for the Ninth Mountain, and he was very unhappy.
The old servant beside him heard this and his face changed slightly. He quickly stopped talking, "Young Master, be careful with your words, be careful with your words." "This is a matter between adults. Since the master wants you to do this, there must be a reason. It's better to say less. Besides, the reputation of the Ninth Mountain is now at its peak. You have seen how many heroes are rushing in after the recruitment order was issued. It can be predicted that the Ninth Mountain will become very powerful. If you can fight your way in and get a position, you will be a real hero, and the master will also look at you with new eyes."
The old servant gave a wave of analysis, and then gave patient guidance and a lot of flattery.
Sure enough, Murong Nan, who was impatient just now, brightened up and smiled when he heard the old servant's words.
The most respected person in the family is his elder brother, but he is still imprisoned in the prison of the South City Garrison. He should be released soon. Although he has a lot of resources, he is far inferior to his brother. If he can be a captain in the Ninth Mountain, from another perspective, he will be very powerful and have the support of the Ninth Mountain. I think other people will look up to him.
"Yes, that's true. Then I'll be a captain for fun!" The young master of the Murong family smiled.
As he spoke, the man swung out a folding fan, which opened up in his hand with a snap. Then he stepped forward, and his white clothes fluttered in the wind, as cool and elegant as flowing clouds, as he rushed towards the martial arts stage at Nanshikou.
After a few breaths, he landed, put away his fan, and then flicked his long sleeves to send down a man who was about to rush up to break through, and then smiled.
"Haha, since no one can pass, let me try it."
Then, he simply gave a hand to the blue-armored captain who was guarding the formation in front of him.
"Murong Nan of the Murong family, remember this name."
As the charming young master of the Murong family appeared, the surrounding crowd began to make a commotion.
The Murong family is one of the top families in South City. Why are the children of this family here?
"what?"
"Even the son of the Murong family wants to enter the Ninth Mountain!"
"Goddess of Heaven, what's going on? Why is it so lively?"
"Great! It looks like this Mr. Murong can take the first place."
At this moment, on the martial arts stage, the young master of the Murong family, with his white clothes fluttering, released his aura, and his profound cultivation was clearly displayed.
With a confident smile on his face, he said, "Excuse me!"
Then he moved his feet, and the fan in his hand turned into flying flowers, which completely obscured his figure and made him disappear. The flying flowers were like knives, breaking through the air with a sound, and shot towards the captain who was guarding the formation.
It was very elegant and graceful, with a great visual effect. The captain guarding the formation was as still as a mountain, his fists were as strong as a bolt of energy, and his dance was impenetrable.
Seeing the guard captain fall into passive defense, after twenty breaths, there was a loud bang.
The white flowers flying in the sky shattered, and a figure in white was blasted directly off the martial arts stage.
The soldier who was recording in the audience shouted with a blank expression,
"Murong Nan of the Murong family, persisted for more than three rounds, entered the ninth mountain, and was awarded the general flag!"
The general flag is just a captain.
Murong Nan in the audience almost vomited blood.
In the distance, at the window, the old servant of the Murong family saw this and slapped his forehead with his hand in pain.
Extremely speechless.
When will the young master change his flashy bad habits? If he tries to show off on the battlefield, he will end up dead.
"Waste!" An angry snort came from somewhere in the corner. The old servant recognized it as the voice of the master of the house. He immediately fell to his knees with a look of fear on his face.
The head of the family came here in person, it seems that he takes this matter very seriously.
But the old servant didn't know that right now, not only their Murong family master appeared nearby, paying attention to the Ninth Mountain's troops recruiting in the South City, but there were also figures in the surrounding buildings, staring at the recruitment site.
Most of them come from second- and third-rate families in South City!
These days, they have been keeping a close eye on the Ninth Mountain and the movements of that adult.
From the moment the army returned to the city from the Ninth Mountain, when Jiu Zhonglang started a killing spree and arrested people everywhere, to the lavish rewards, to the changes in the Liu family, and the rumors that came from the Liu family in the morning, anyone could see that this Zhonglang Jiang not only wanted to stabilize Jinguan City, he also wanted all forces to obey him.
There will inevitably be a reshuffle among them!
Reshuffling means that resources need to be redistributed, some people will go up and some will go down.
They also have ambitions and want to make progress.
The Yun family is the simplest example.
Seeing that the children of Murong family had appeared, these people seemed to have received some kind of signal.
There are family heads who are earnestly telling their beloved children:
"Go!"
"Defeat that captain!"
"Find your place in the Ninth Mountain. Maybe the family will depend on you in the future."
"Yes!" Just like that, following Murong Nan of the Murong family, one after another figures with extraordinary aura appeared through the air, passed through the crowd, and landed on the martial arts field in various postures.
It's like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.
"Lu Family Lu Fang"
"Chen Ping of the Chen Family"
"Wu family."
One by one, the names became louder in the martial arts arena.
The crowd was also shocked and exclaimed, and the excitement was boiling.
These are all the famous children of noble families in South City, and they all want to enter the Ninth Mountain.
Each young man represents an entire family. It is hard to imagine how big the Ninth Mountain will become after recruiting soldiers this time.
And this scene did not only happen in Nancheng, but almost the same situation happened in all four sides of Jinguan City.
West City is headed by the Liu family, and eleven families sent their children to join the Ninth Mountain.
East City is headed by the Xia family, and the descendants of eight other families also joined the Ninth Mountain.
In the north city, there are three.
But these only represent the various families, big and small, many of whom come here for fame and fortune, and the truly surging ones are those young men and common people who have no family background, no strong cultivation, but have clear eyes and surging hearts!
These talents are the future of Ninth Mountain.
