The boiling hot water is sprinkled from the nozzle, and the wonderful scented soap is applied all over the body. I rub the whole body with a snow-white towel until the skin is red, and the ashes and dirt accumulated in these days are washed away. net.

A sharp whistle sounded, and Wu Tie and other captains of the Shenwu Army lined up, naked, and walked out of the bathhouse and walked into a corridor that emitted a strong white light.

The floor, walls, and ceiling are all made of silver-white metal and are integrated without any gaps.

White light as strong as substance shines from the four walls and shines on everyone.

The skin becomes transparent, followed by muscles, blood vessels, nerves, internal organs, bones...

The whole body becomes transparent, and a powerful evil-destroying power ripples in the white light. If someone uses the magic of changing the body, they will definitely be seen through it under the illumination of this white light.

Wu Tie waved his arms carelessly and walked through the hundred-foot-long corridor with his head held high.

His current appearance, body shape, and other physical characteristics were all created by Wu Yu using secret techniques without using any transformation techniques at all.

Wu Yu can essentially turn people into various birds and animals, and can also essentially turn a big tree or grass into gravel, earth and stone. The power he controls is terrifying.

With the Shenwu Army's inspection methods, how could it be possible to find flaws in Wu Tie

I walked through the inspection corridor easily. At the exit, there were already logistical auxiliaries ready with brand-new Shenwu Army uniforms. After getting dressed, Wu Tie hung a long knife on his waist and buckled the newly issued storage bracelet on his wrist. Wu Tie looked at a floor-to-ceiling mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

The standard uniform of the Shenwu Army is mainly navy blue, decorated with blood stripes, a tight-fitting gown, and a short half-length cape at the back that reaches one foot below the hips.

Mighty, handsome, clean and neat, it does not hinder movement at all, and the material used is excellent. It is made of exotic silk and has strong defensive power. Wu Tie gently pulled the sleeves with his fingers. This set of military uniforms The defense is almost as good as a set of heavy leather armor in the underground world.

In addition to the military uniform he is wearing, the storage bracelet also contains five sets of spare uniforms and matching boots, socks, etc.

Each set of military uniforms is equivalent to a set of heavy-duty leather armor that is finely forged and engraved with defensive runes. Moreover, all the expenses are reimbursed by the Shenwu Army, and Wu Tie does not need to pay a single copper.

The national strength of the Jin Dynasty is evident.

Think about the underground world. Even for the warriors of the Wu family, a set of leather armor is often an old item that has been passed down by their ancestors for many years...

Wu Tie took a breath and shook his head.

The Shenwu military lieutenants who were inspected together with Wu Tie all had gloomy faces, and no one was joking or chatting with them. After changing their clothes one by one, they said hello to their familiar comrades, and they all had a "grey" smell. , lowered his head and left.

In the battle to suppress the Demonic City, the Shenwu Army fought inexplicably and lost in a confused manner. For reasons unknown, there was a record on his resume that he was defeated, captured, and released in exchange...

Everyone was listless and completely wilted.

In the past, if they returned from victory, after reorganizing the military camp, these lower-level officers at the rank of captain would definitely have a few drinks with their friends, or even go to Huajieliuxiang to have some fun.

But this time... no one is in the mood.

No one greeted him, so Wu Tie felt at ease. He patted the hilt of the saber hanging on his waist, and walked out in silence like other captains with a gloomy face and drooped head.

Lin Huo and Wu Tie's personal guards were already waiting outside.

Wu Tie looked at Lin Huo and the others, shook his head, and waved his hand: "That's all, I don't need you to follow me this time... Go back to your home to make sure your family members are safe... Damn it, this fight What kind of battle?"

Lin Huo and others also looked aggrieved.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Huo also wanted to persuade Wu Tie to bring a few personal guards to serve him, but Wu Tie insisted on letting them go home to rest. Lin Huo and others also did something inexplicable because of this inexplicable defeat. Disheartened by the matter of the prisoners, they accepted Wu Tie's order and left the military camp listlessly.

The Shenwu Army Camp has a building boat specially designed for officers to ride on.

Showing his identity token, announcing his place of origin, and following the instructions, Wu Tie boarded a twenty-foot-long building boat. Wu Tie waited on the cabin seat for about a quarter of an hour. The building boat rose lightly into the sky, leaving a white wake towards the sky. Fly towards the east.

Three hundred miles after flying out of the military camp, high in the air ahead, four complex circular crystal piles suddenly spurted out large tracts of brilliance.

Among the four circular crystal piles, a light curtain with a diameter of thousands of feet lit up. Green mountains and green waters were faintly visible in the light curtain, and there were cities and streets.

Lou Chuan plunged into the light curtain.

Wu Tie felt familiar space fluctuations. He recalled the information provided by Xi Bubai and couldn't help but feel horrified.

What a great Jin Kingdom. These crystal piles suspended in the air are extra-large space portals, specially designed for these long-distance sailing ships. With these portals, ships can easily cross distances of tens of thousands, millions or even billions of miles.

It is precisely because of these portals that are all over the world that the vast Jin Kingdom can effectively control the world.

The building ship shook slightly and rushed out of the portal on the other side.

A sailor on the ship in white clothes shouted loudly: "Qingyu City has arrived, Qingyu City has arrived, adults who want to go back to Qingyu City can get off the ship."

Several captains dressed like Wu Tie stood up one after another, saluted the officers in the cabin, walked out of the cabin, turned into streams of light and flew out of the building, and quickly rushed towards a city below.

The building ship traveled hundreds of miles, and after leaving the sky above the city, another portal was filled with light and slowly opened in front of it.

After going back and forth like this seven or eight times, the sailor finally shouted: "The Flower and Insect City has arrived, the Flower and Insect City has arrived, adults who want to go back to the Flower and Insect City can get off the ship."

Wu Tie stood up and silently bowed to the other officers in the cabin. His body swayed to the deck, then transformed into a stream of light and shot up dozens of feet high. After circling, he quickly headed towards a mountain surrounded by mountains below. The city rushed away.

On this boat, only Wu Tie was going to disembark at Hua Chong City.

High in the sky, there was only a solitary stream of light from Wu Tie falling downward from an altitude of a hundred miles.

Wu Tie happened to be from a high position, overlooking the topography of the entire Hua Chong City.

Huachong City is one hundred and twenty miles wide from east to west and forty-two miles wide from north to south. It is surrounded by mountains. Not far away is a huge mountain lake with green mountains and green waters. The scenery is as beautiful as a dream.

In the mountains and forests surrounding Flower and Insect City, there is a specialty spiritual insect, the blue-tailed scorpion, and the sloughs of the blue-tailed scorpions when they grow, as well as their feces, are the necessary nutrients for a kind of spiritual grass, the blue-striped scorpion grass.

Therefore, in the surrounding mountains and forests, where blue-tailed spirit scorpions live, a large number of high-quality blue-striped scorpion grass grows.

The scorpion venom of the blue-tailed spirit scorpion can strengthen the blood and greatly replenish the vitality. It is one of the main materials for refining the top-grade spiritual elixir 'Golden Body Pill'. The leaves of the blue-striped scorpion grass are highly poisonous and are the main material for several secret poisons required for the poisonous arrows used by the military of the Kingdom of Jin Dynasty.

However, the roots of the blue-striped scorpion grass are the world's best antidote elixir. Among the detoxification potions prepared by the military of the Kingdom of Jin Dynasty, the roots of the blue-striped scorpion grass are also one of the indispensable main ingredients.

The Kingdom of Jin Dynasty maintains an extremely large army and has a huge demand for golden body pills to temper the body, as well as various poisons, antidote potions, etc.

Flower and Insect City occupies a natural geographical advantage. Every year, just catching blue-tailed spirit scorpions and collecting blue-striped scorpion grass can make a lot of money.

In addition, Huachong City is surrounded by high mountains, a large number of ferocious beasts and spiritual birds, and a rich variety of rare mountain products, so the people in the city are living a very good life. This is an extremely rich city, and it is also where the 'Huo Xiong' family has lived for generations.

Wu Tie fell rapidly from a high altitude.

On the wall of Hua Chong City below, several Chonglou realm monks had raised their heads and looked at Wu Tie.

According to the rules of the Kingdom of Jin Dynasty, Wu Tie pressed the escape light and landed at the gate of Hua Chong City.

A few city defense soldiers whose cultivation level was no higher than the Senxuan Realm stepped forward and saluted Wu Tie from a distance: "Master Huo, are you back?"

Huo Xiong is a reserved person who doesn't talk much and feels a bit cold.

Wu Tie followed Huo Xiong's example, snorted lowly, nodded, took out his captain's badge, waved it, and strode into the Flower and Insect City.

The city defense soldiers saluted Wu Tie behind him with serious expressions and did not dare to show any slightness.

In Huachong City, thousands of children join the Shenwu Army’s martial arts hall every year.

But there are only a hundred or so people who can really struggle out of the martial arts hall and successfully join the Shenwu Army every year.

After joining the Shenwu Army, being able to accumulate military merits and exchange for resources from the lowest level of third-level soldiers to break through the life pool realm and become a captain. In a small place like Huachong City, that is definitely A first-class famous person.

In the hearts of these low-level city defense soldiers, Huo Xiong is undoubtedly a hero.

Not to mention, the Huo family from which Huo Xiong was born is a military household, and a veteran military household for many years.

According to the hierarchy of the Jin Dynasty, below the royal family are the wealthy and noble families, below these noble families are the military households, and below the military households are the ordinary civilian households. As military households, they enjoy more resources and have special rights that far exceed those of civilian households.

The Kingdom of Jin Dynasty gave special treatment to military households. For example, if military households had a reasonable excuse to kill civilian households on the street, they would not bear any responsibility.

If an ordinary household wants to promote their family to a household, they must have at least five generations of continuous service in the military, and the number of military merits accumulated to a certain level. The military rank of a certain generation of tribesmen must reach at least the rank of ninth grade captain, or three consecutive generations of tribesmen must reach the rank of captain. Only those with the rank of first-grade non-commissioned officer can be transferred to the military household.

Walking along the street paved with thick stones for more than ten miles, people kept coming out of the shops along the way, greeting Wu Tie with a hint of awe and a hint of humility.

'Master Huo', 'Master Huo', 'Brother Huo'...

Wu Tie just had a sullen face and nodded gently towards the people who greeted them.

After walking for more than ten miles, Wu Tie turned to the west at a crossroads.

In the West, the position of Geng Jin and White Tiger represents killing and killing. The major cities in the Jin Dynasty had the same regulations. Military households in the cities were all concentrated in the west of the city.

In the west of the city, there is a special inner city wall that encircles a city area six miles long and five miles wide.

Entering from the inner city gate on the east side, the military households of Huachong City live in the large and small houses in this area of the city.

Wu Tie had just entered the city gate and didn't know how the news was spread. The gates of the houses on the left and right sides of the street opened silently. Old people, women, and children stood silently behind the threshold, smiling and looking at each other with complicated eyes. Holding Wu Tie.

A little panic, a little uneasy, a little fear, but more of expectation.

Wu Tie stopped and looked at the military families standing in the door. He was silent for a while, nodded, and then shook his head.

"Don't worry, everyone. In the battle of the Three Kingdoms battlefield more than three months ago, 80% of my brothers from Huachong City were assigned to the Shenwu Left Army. The Left Army was a reserve force in that battle and did not participate in the battle."

"The brothers who were part of the Shenwu Right Army... are probably all gone."

"The damage in this battle is a bit bigger. The adults in the military department may be counting the casualties list... There are other things about the follow-up pension. It will probably be distributed after a while."

Wu Tie saluted the family members on both sides of the street with clasped fists, lowered his head, and walked towards the Huo family's house in the eyes of countless people.

There was laughter in many yards.

Those were the family members of their men who had been incorporated into the Shenwu Left Army. Everyone was relieved to learn that their men did not participate in the battle that was said to have suffered heavy losses more than three months ago.

In some yards, suppressed cries could be heard.

Those people are the family members of my husband who was enlisted in the Shenwu Right Army.

Huo Xiong belongs to the forward battalion of the Shenwu Right Army. He said that all the men in the Shenwu Right Army in Hua Chong City are probably gone. That means they are gone.

The army of the Jin Dynasty was extremely large, and the men above had too many things to take care of.

Sometimes, it may take two, three or even more than ten years for the death information of soldiers who were killed in battle to reach their homes.

These compatriots who came back alive from the battlefield are the only channel through which family members can get news about their men in the first place.

There were bursts of crying, but the crying soon stopped.

As military households of the Jin Kingdom, while they enjoyed various preferential treatment, they were also mentally prepared to die at any time.

This world...

The Huo family can be regarded as the oldest group among the military households in Huachong City.

Therefore, the Huo family's house is located in the center of the inner city of the military household. It is a large house with several entrances and exits. There is also a martial arts field covering dozens of acres in the backyard. There is even a large livestock pen with dozens of animals. A ferocious beast mount with excellent leg strength.

When Wu Tie arrived at the door of the Huo family mansion, the black door decorated with bloody animal head knockers opened. Huo Xiong's father and several uncles were already dressed in military uniforms, standing in a row at the door.

"Ah Xiong, you're back!" Huo Xiong's father, Huo Hu, is only fifty years old, but he is missing an arm, a leg, and is blind in one eye. Especially because his Taoist base is damaged and his essence and blood are withered. At first glance, Go, he is just like a dying centenarian, too old to look like.

Just seeing 'Huo Xiong', he still smiled brightly.

"Dad, you're back!" Wu Tie's heart twitched slightly, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Huo Hu.

"This time, I guess I will stay at home for a longer time..." Pursing his lips, Wu Tie frowned: "I fought a battle inexplicably, lost a battle inexplicably... I feel very aggrieved. The commanders above, Give us a long vacation.”

Huo Hu was stunned, jumped out of the door, and supported Wu Tie with one arm.

"Lost? But as long as everything is fine, it's good to be back!"
