On January 11, 905 in the black iron calendar, just after the two-week holiday, Zhang Tie ended his brief reunion with Bai Suxian, officially took office, and left Xuanyuan Fortress.
Grand Sima's appointment of Zhang Tie shocked the entire Xuanyuan Fortress when it was announced a few days ago. At Zhang Tie's age, he has become a third-grade official of Taixia and holds important responsibilities. Such treatment is unprecedented, but in In the history of Taixia, there are definitely rare existences. At least at this moment, among all the third-grade officials in Taixia, it is impossible to find anyone younger than Zhang Tie.
The governor of Xiazhou in Taixia is the fifth rank, the governor of Zhongzhou is the fourth rank, the governor of Shangzhou is the fourth rank, the governor of Dazhou is the third rank, the governor of Shenzhou is also the third rank, and the rank of the cavalry general of each state is the same as that of the governor. The level of governor is divided into four levels from the second grade to the first grade, depending on the specific situation of each governor's house and the official's qualifications and merits. Jiuqing and the commander of the Fourth Army of Taixia are the first grade of Taixia, and the third grade is the official. It's a divine product.
Zhang Tie was young and was appreciated by the Grand Sima. He was appointed as the chief general of the Taixia Western War Zone and the Grand Sima Shaoshi. He was already the first person under the first-level governor of Taixia. This position was the highest among the entire Anxi Governor. Within the Hufu, it is only one rank lower than the Superintendent of the Anxi Supervisor. If Zhang Tie takes another step forward, it will be the first level of Superintendent. It is really shocking.
If it were normal times, such an appointment would definitely cause an uproar in Taixia and cause an uproar from all parties. How could anyone reach the top at such a young age? But now in a war zone, there are not so many rules and stereotypes, and there is no need to talk about background. In terms of seniority, military law is followed in the war zone, and fighting is the first priority. Grand Sima's words are the iron law of the war zone.
When Zhang Tie's appointment caused shock and criticism among Xuanyuan Fortress and the other eleven bases. Grand Sima Zuoqiu Mingyue's words put all the criticism to rest - Candle oil and food are the most important thing in the war zone, which is related to the morale of the troops in the war zone and the stability of the defense line. Whoever dares to issue a military order can surpass Zhang Tie. I can also appoint him to the same position.
With just such a word, everyone turned off.
Food is easy to say. If you are really determined, as long as you work hard and work hard, you can indeed ensure the food supply in the war zone. Qianji Zhenren is in Zhulong Ling, and he does not go to farm by himself. If he wants to ensure the food supply in the war zone, he only needs to follow the gourd and draw the gourd. A set of strategies for fertile fields and high yields can be brought here.
But the supply of candle wax. Without Zhang Tie’s nodding support, even if the King of Heaven comes to the war zone, not even a drop of it can be changed, let alone a ton. Without candle oil, many things can only be done on paper.
Qianji Zhenren not only invented candle oil in the Zhulong Territory, but also re-created airplanes, invented a dual-drive engine, and used candle oil to create some powerful weapons.
Even more so, after the Holy War. The role of full-effect medicine is increasing. Now in the war zone, full-effect medicine has become the most important piece of logistics supplies for the ground army. The full potion also belongs to the Zhang family. It may not be easy for others to get the full potion, but for Zhang Tie, it is as much as they need.
If you think about it carefully, although Qianji Zhenren is indeed young, in the entire war zone, he not only knows about farming and mulberry fields, but he can also invent candle oil and turn waste into treasure. A person who can provide a large amount of fully effective medicines, and is also proficient and knowledgeable in various mechanical equipment and various weapon manufacturing. It is indeed impossible to find another person like this to be General Zhengji. It really couldn't be more appropriate.
Moreover, Zhang Tie's presence in the rear also has another effect, that is, Zhang Tie's combat power and force are also a strong guarantee for the stability of the rear. With Zhang Tie here, even a few demon knights can break through the defense line and invade the rear. Zhang Tie can also deal with it easily without being in a hurry. I heard that the two demons Earth and Black Iron that Zhang Tie killed on the Heroes List were all completed in one battle. The whole process was devastating and countless. People have seen with their own eyes that it was the Wuzhou Cavalry General who reported Zhang Tie's achievements. In addition, I am afraid only Zhang Tie knows how many demon knights Zhang Tie killed when he was a scout at the Blackwater Base, but Zhang Tie Tie himself didn't say anything, and he didn't provide any favorable proof, so the corresponding meritorious service was not included in the list of heroes.
After thinking about this, who dares to think that his head is too good and dare to issue a military order in front of Da Sima? Everyone is just in awe of Da Sima's way of employing people - indeed, he is worthy of the Taixia Military God. Just this appointment, He almost used Zhang Tie's ability to the extreme.
Of course, Zhang Tie left the front line, and many people who regarded Zhang Tie as a strong opponent on the list of heroes were also secretly happy, because this also meant that as long as he served as general for one day, it would be difficult for Zhang Tie to accumulate military exploits and kill Zhang Tie in the future. Killing demons, Zhang Tie seems to be a high-ranking official and well-paid at the moment, but in the future, Zhang Tie will be promoted to nobility in the Tianji Ranking, I am afraid that Zhang Tie will lose his reputation. The most prominent people who hold this idea are the people of Taiyi Xuanmen. These people had a falling out with Zhang Tie, and naturally they didn't want Zhang Tie to come forward again. Zhang Tie became the general of encumbrance, which made Taiyi Xuanmen Feng Yexiao and others secretly jealous, but also gave them a sigh of relief.
…
When Zhang Tie was about to leave on the morning of the 11th, Bai Suxian, Bai Runcheng, Feng Cangwu, Zhenren Pengshan who had returned from a mission, a group of knights from the Guangnan Palace, and the original Blackwater base from the Northeast Governor's Palace who were familiar with Zhang Tie Yes, there were disciples who were studying under the Iron Dragon Sect, such as the knight elders of the Zhu family and the Qian family, as well as the heads of the Lu family, the elders of the Gu family, etc., all came to see them off. A large group of people stayed near Xuanyuan Fortress. Saying goodbye to Zhang Tie in the sky, there is an official flying boat next to it, which is quite eye-catching.
"The so-called trap is in the bag, how can you not stand out? When Qianji Zhenren was the emperor of Youzhou, he destroyed the Tongtian Sect and shocked the whole party. Although there were treacherous and deceitful frame-ups later, he still remained true to his original intention and was loyal to the public after all the calamities. Tiguo, when Taixia was in trouble, stepped forward and shouldered heavy responsibilities, which greatly increased the prestige and ambition of the knights in our Northeast Governor's Mansion. We are honored to do so. Today, I wish Qianji Zhenren a good journey and a happy future in the future. A long journey…”
The elders of the Qian family were talking to Zhang Tie. Although these words were very kind, they also represented the thoughts of many people in the Qian family's team when they were bidding farewell to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie's appointment as General Weiji and Grand Sima Shaoshi was a big shock to others, but the shock was greater to those who were familiar with Zhang Tie, especially the elders of the Zhu family and the Qian family. , and Lu Dingzhi, who served as the official commander of the Shaofu. Only those who truly come from Taixia's wealthy official families can feel the weight and influence of Zhang Tie's current position.
The third-grade official rank is nothing but a joke in Taixia. The Qian family is the family of the governor of Tongzhou, and Tongzhou is Zhongzhou. The rank of the governor of Yanzhou is only from the fourth rank. Yanzhou is a big state, and the rank of the governor of Yanzhou is only from the third rank. The official rank of the Shaofu Zhongguan Ling that Lu Dingzhi did originally was only from the fifth rank. Zhang Tie's original Youzhou court The lieutenant was also from the fifth rank. After a few years of silence, a Xiazhou Tingwei who had been from the fifth rank was able to become a senior official of the third rank. Opportunities like this are rare. As long as Zhang Tie is determined to have an official career and doesn't make any big mistakes, with this qualification, Zhang Tie's future position will start from the third rank. How can one not envy this? Now in the entire Northeast Governor's Mansion, The only person with a higher official rank than Zhang Tie is Cheng Honglie, the second-rank supervisor. And now the governor of Anxi Governor's Mansion is the second rank, only one level higher than Zhang Tie, and the identity of Zhang Tie's other great Sima Shaoshi represents the great Sima himself to a certain extent. Now Zhang Tie can almost walk sideways in the entire war zone.
Zhang Tie is so young that he is appreciated by the Grand Sima. He also has the Guangnan Prince's Palace as his support. His own strength is terrifying and formidable. Secret arts and divine veins are emerging one after another. His future prospects are really limitless. It’s been less than half a year since we all came to the war zone together. Others only achieved a little bit of success, but Zhang Tie soared into the sky in the blink of an eye. How not to be envious, this time when I come to say goodbye. Both the Qian family elders and the Zhu family elders showed respect to Zhang Tie to a new level.
"Thank you very much, Elder Qian, for your kind words!"
Zhang Tie smiled at the words of the elder Qian and responded politely and kindly without any arrogance or complacency. Perhaps to others, this third-grade official position is enough to be envied, but to Zhang Tie, he has never been that big. Ambition, he looked down upon official positions and fame, and now he had other feelings in his heart. He didn't care about official positions anymore. The most important reason why he accepted the appointment of Grand Sima was this. When appointing Zhang Tie, he also felt that except for himself, no one else could do better than him. In this position, as long as he worked hard, he might be able to save Taixia from killing many sergeants and giving up less troops. Many families were broken up, leaving more people homeless, and a few cities in Taixia became places where demons were raging, that's all...
The knights who came to see Zhang Tie off all said goodbye to Zhang Tie one by one at this time, saying a few words of farewell.
To the elders of the Qian, Zhu, and Lu families, Zhang Tie’s current position of power is respectable, but to more knights, in addition, Zhang Tie was defeated in a battle on the Heroes List. The record of killing two earths and two black irons is truly awe-inspiring. How many earths and black irons are there in the entire Youzhou now
All the knights in Youzhou who are not on duty today are here. This is the proper etiquette. Guo Hongyi is also here today.
Just after talking to the humble elder of the Li family in Miyun County, Zhang Tie walked over and saw Guo Hongyi.
Outsiders couldn't tell how much Guo Hongyi had changed today, but Zhang Tie just glanced at Guo Hongyi and knew that Guo Hongyi had deliberately dressed up today. Although she wore light makeup, she was still dressed up.
Today, Guo Hongyi is wearing a festive red dress, with a thin layer of pink on her face, her eyes are like autumn water, her cheeks are rosy, her lips are a little red like fire, and she has a beautiful lily bun on her head. Dressed like this, Coupled with Guo Hongyi's clear-cut and majestic facial features, it is both elegant and moving. I don’t know why, but when I saw the bun on Guo Hongyi’s head, Zhang Tie suddenly remembered the flower language of lilies—smoothness, cherishment, and mutual understanding!
As soon as he came to Guo Hongyi's side, Zhang Tie smelled the mellow fragrance of rose essence with the mellow fragrance of women's body on Guo Hongyi. Such a fragrance is very attractive to men, which makes Zhang Tie They couldn't help but feel a little restless.
Zhang Tie has never seen Guo Hongyi like this before, not even the knights from Youzhou. As soon as Guo Hongyi came today, all the knights from Youzhou couldn't help but look at Guo Hongyi with their eyes. Hongyi, until Guo Hongyi glared at several people fiercely, showing her majesty like a tigress, those people didn't dare to glance at Guo Hongyi anymore.
The beauty was naturally pleasing to the eye. Zhang Tie, who was attracted by Guo Hongyi's aura, couldn't help but look at Guo Hongyi a few more times. Guo Hongyi was very tall, an inch taller than Bai Suxian. He could be said to be a member of the Chinese ethnic group. The tallest among women, perhaps because the knight exercises regularly, Guo Hongyi has a hot figure with the plumpness of a mature woman. Even better than the curves of interracial women like Linda and Sabrina.
"Don't mind what happened that day. My master didn't target you specifically. She treats men like this..." Guo Hongyi opened her lips lightly and said. He glanced at Zhang Tie, and happened to see Zhang Tie's eyes falling on his chest. The peach color on Guo Hongyi's cheeks became more vivid, especially attractive, and his eyes were a little shy. 's drooped.
He and Guo Hongyi looked at each other, and Guo Hongyi caught his peeping gaze as if he were catching a thief. Then he saw the trace of shyness on Guo Hongyi's face. Zhang Tie felt that his little heart could not help but beat violently. Women who are shy are the most beautiful, and a woman like Guo Hongyi is even more beautiful when she is shy.
In the past few days, Zhang Tie also inquired about Master Guo Hongyi, the woman he saw that day. The news he learned shocked Zhang Tie.
Guo Hongyi's master is called Yan Feiqing, who is the master of Xuannv Palace in Yunmeng Mountain in Wuzhou, Taixia, and a famous Phantom Knight. Zhang Tie spent almost no effort to get information about that woman. I heard two things about that woman. The first thing was that a promising knight from the Tianji Sect met the equally young Yan Feiqing in Xuanyuan Hill when he was young. At that time, both of them were black iron knights, both were still young, and they met in a peach grove in the most beautiful season of Xuanyuan Hill. The peach blossoms were colorful and prosperous like a dream. The talented man and the beautiful woman met by chance in the peach grove. It was at the beginning of the story. The knights of the romantic Tianjimen were suddenly shocked when they saw the beautiful Yan Feiqing, and couldn't help but show off their romantic ways. He said something frivolous and provocative, and that was the result. It is difficult for others to know the process, but the end result is that the knight from Tianjimen was finally beaten by Yan Feiqing - really beaten. It's not an adjective, but he tied the person up and hung him upside down from a peach tree and beat him for a whole day and night. Finally, after Yan Feiqing had beaten him enough, he drifted away.
The knight of the Tianji Sect who was hanged after failing to flirt with a girl is now the Qingfeng Elder of the Tianji Sect, Deyang Zhenjun. This incident caused a sensation in Xuanyuan Hill back then and became a negative example for countless playboys and romantic knights. , after being beaten up by a woman, Elder Qingfeng made up his mind to practice secret combat skills and prepare to seek revenge on Yan Feiqing. Decades later, Elder Qingfeng advanced to become an Earth Knight and practiced the powerful secret combat skills of Tianji Sect. After learning that Yan Feiqing had established a sect in Yunmeng Mountain, he decided to go to Yunmeng Mountain to "recover his dignity as a man." Outsiders also have no way of knowing what the process was, but the final result was that Elder Qingfeng returned to Tianji. If you open the door, you will immediately retreat for ten years. Even if you come out after ten years, you will run away as soon as you hear the name Yan Feiqing. In the Tianji Sect, the three words Yan Feiqing will become taboo.
The second thing about Yan Feiqing is that Yan Feiqing killed the phantom knight Heishan Patriarch who was ranked second on the wanted list of Taixia Tingwei Mansion. The reason why Yan Feiqing killed the Black Mountain Patriarch was just from Xuannv Palace. A female disciple was accidentally killed by the Black Mountain Patriarch after she came down from the mountain. The final result was that Yan Feiqing spent eleven years to kill all 1,178 disciples and disciples of the Black Mountain Patriarch who were hiding in Tibet. In the end, she chased her from Taixia to the Yinyue subcontinent and brought back the head of the Black Mountain ancestor who had been cornered by her.
Yan Feiqing, the master of Xuannv Palace, killed the ancestor of Heishan fifty years ago. Since then, no one of the disciples of Xuannv Palace in Wuzhou Yunmeng Mountain has been killed while walking down the mountain. The female disciples of Xuannv Palace are all like Yan Feiqing. Not only are they powerful, but they also never put men in their eyes. Although the strength of Xuannv Palace is not as dazzling as the seven major sects of Taixia, the entire Taixia , but few people dared to provoke Xuannv Palace.
Knowing these "glorious deeds" of Yan Feiqing, Zhang Tie even flinched, and then he understood why the aura of that woman when he saw Yan Feiqing that day was so strong, and she dared to educate Guo in front of him. Hongyi's aura and aura of being barren wherever he walked was too fierce. If Guo Hongyi is the tigress of Youzhou, then Guo Hongyi's master Yan Feiqing is the ancient female tyrannosaurus.
"Ahem... I don't mind this, and you don't need to take it to heart. Thank you for coming to see me off today..."
"Take care and have a safe journey!"
"Take care of yourself too!"
In full view of everyone, Zhang Tie and Guo Hongyi both spoke seriously, with nothing out of the ordinary. As they were turning their backs to walk over, Zhang Tie thought of Yan Feiqing's "admonishment" to Guo Hongyi that day. , maybe it’s some kind of rebellious psychology at work, or maybe it’s because today’s Guo Hongyi is particularly beautiful in Zhang Tie’s eyes, which ignited Zhang Tie’s desire to conquer again, and Zhang Tie finally couldn’t help but flirt with Guo Hongyi Suddenly, while walking past Guo Hongyi, a sentence was directly transmitted to Guo Hongyi's ears, "By the way, your lily bun today is very beautiful..."
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, he was stunned for a moment, and Guo Hongyi's expression became as if he was drunk, which was particularly moving.
Just when Zhang Tie came to Feng Cangwu, he heard Guo Hongyi's voice and a faint sigh in his ears.
"If you know my heart, Hong Yi will not regret it!"
If it weren't for being in the air, Zhang Tie would almost stumble.
After all, he is a disciple of the Tianji Sect, and the two of them were talking through sound transmission and were by his side. Feng Cangwu seemed to notice something, and a pair of eyes glanced at Zhang Tie's face and Guo Hongyi's side in confusion. When Feng Cangwu opened his mouth, Zhang Tie saved Feng Cangwu. At the same time, the message reached Feng Cangwu's ears, "King Jingtian may thank me for finding him a good son-in-law in a few years..."
Feng Cangwu's face suddenly turned dark...
…
It was Bai Suxian with tears in his eyes who finally said goodbye to Zhang Tie.
"Stop crying, think about the bright side. I am working as a general in the rear, not as a scout in the front. I will encounter less danger, and I am not risking my life, right?" Zhang Tie comforted Bai Suxian.
Bai Suxian nodded and held Zhang Tie's hand. She couldn't help but shed tears one by one. "I can also go with you. You just didn't take me with you on purpose. I can be yours by your side." Assistant..."
Zhang Tie smiled bitterly. Bai Suxian still regarded the war zone as Youzhou. He now holds a military position, and his relationship with Bai Suxian is almost known to the world. If he takes Bai Suxian with him and comforts him when nothing happens, then it will be a problem. What's the matter? This is simply destroying the morale of the army. If Da Sima is cruel and uses military regulations to kill himself, he deserves it.
Zhang Tie understood this truth, and everyone in the Guangnan Palace also understood it, so everyone stopped Bai Suxian from following Zhang Tie at this time...
