The wooden platform was about five feet high. There were fire plates made of iron pots on the front, back, left, and right sides to enhance the brightness of the surroundings. On both sides of the platform were spears, sticks, halberds, and other long weapons to highlight its martial aura. It made this place even more eye-catching in the Han army camp in the wilderness.
The square below the stage was filled with nearly 600 generals in civilian clothes. Although there were not many people, it was so quiet that there was not a single sound. Other than the occasional chirping of insects and frogs, which could still feel the existence of this world, these 600 generals in civilian clothes were like lifeless corpses.
"Hey! This was the first time he had seen such a silent troop filled with killing intent. General Fan…Were they really weak in combat?”
Hua Juan, who was at the other corner of the stage, looked at this group of "non-humans" and asked. Beside them, besides Bai Qing and Fan Yifu, there were also some generals that Hua Juan and Fan Yifu had never seen before. According to Fan Yifu's introduction just now, the identities of these generals were very secretive, and it was said that they had only arrived at Lu Zhi's formation in the evening.
"Miss Juan, this is actually a special aura developed by Marshal Lu. Even ordinary soldiers with low combat strength can display twice their combat strength when fighting between two armies. Therefore, this is also the reason why our Han army is still undefeated even though our numbers are inferior to the Yellow Turban bandits.”
Hua Juan nodded in realization and said,""Marshal Lu's martial arts and military strategy are so profound. Hua Juan hopes to find time to consult Marshal again!”
Fan Yifu smiled when he heard this." Miss Juan's plan is extraordinary. It's as if she can predict what might happen in the future." Otherwise, with the arrogant attitude of the number one Yuan family, how could they unconditionally send troops to assist after Miss Juan personally ordered Chen Wenshu to go?”
Hua Juan was just about to say a few humble words when he heard a man with a mustache among the unfamiliar generals who had been secretly paying attention to him say sarcastically,"It's just a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse. What's there to praise…Fan Yifu, I really don't understand why Elder Lu would find a young girl? Is it because he is old and weak, and his mind is not bright?”
The man's official rank seemed to be higher than Fan Yifu's. Although he was scolding Lu Zhi, Fan Yifu was only submissive and did not dare to defend himself.
Because of the man's provocation, the atmosphere quickly became tense. Hua Juan could even feel that Bai Qing might pull out her sword at any moment. She secretly tugged at her white muslin sleeves, indicating that she should not be impulsive.
Bai Qing seemed to feel the astonishing endurance of Hua Juan as she slowly lowered her raised right hand. At the same time, a voice came from behind Hua Juan: "A warrior is a warrior. This is also the reason why Imperial Guard Commander Chen is unable to take charge of an area and lead the three armies. The battle between the two armies was a battle of wits, not brute force. Otherwise, with the 80,000 Han troops, it would be impossible to stop the Yellow Turban bandits here.”
When the man heard this, he turned around and was about to vent his anger when he saw Lu Zhi, who was dressed in heavy armor, slowly walk up to everyone and say,"Imperial Guard Captain, did I say anything wrong?”
Lu Zhi approached the crowd and continued," I have been loyal to the country all my life. I have received the Emperor's grace to take on the important task of eliminating Huang. Moreover, I only need to report to the Emperor what I have done in the army." Chen Zhou, if you feel that this old man's decision is inappropriate, you can report to His Majesty to replace me. What do you think?”
The man snorted and did not reply. Clearly, Lu Zhi's appearance had made him wary. Seeing this, Lu Zhi did not make things difficult for him. He walked to Hua Juan and pointed at the man and said,"This is the Imperial Palace Guard Captain Chen Zhou. He is mainly responsible for the security of the Imperial Palace. Today, he has come under the Emperor's orders to help us repel the enemy. Imperial Guard Commander Chen, this is Miss Hua whom I mentioned to you in the tent.”
Hearing that Lu Zhi was introducing the two of them, Hua Juan immediately saluted Chen Zhou with both hands to show respect. Unexpectedly, Chen Zhou snorted and turned around to leave. The generals around him also followed Chen Zhou and left the scene, leaving Hua Juan with a stunned expression.
Hua Juan helplessly spread his hands to show his innocence. Lu Zhi laughed dryly and said,"Miss Hua is right, Zhang Jiao is indeed not in the army!”
"Eh? The Marshal must have heard some reliable news. If Hua Juan guessed correctly, it should be related to Imperial Guard Commander Chen!”
Lu Zhi, who originally wanted to surprise Hua Juan, did not expect Hua Juan to respond so calmly. He asked curiously,"Why is it that Miss Juan seems to have heavenly eyes or clairaudient ears? Nothing can be hidden from you?”
Bai Qing replied without any expression," Outsiders see clearly, but those involved are confused. Marshal Lu only mentioned this after the awkward scene between Chen Zhou and Xiao Juan. Xiao Juan was talented and intelligent, so she naturally guessed that it was related to the Imperial Guards.”
Hua Juan sighed." Sister Qing is right. It's just that although Hua Juan can guess that it has something to do with Imperial Guard Commander Chen, I don't know the ins and outs of it. Can you ask the marshal to explain?"”
Lu Zhi stroked his long beard with a solemn expression and replied,""Because their original mission was not to provide support here, but…Kill Zhang Jiao!"
"Kill Zhang Jiao?"
This time, Lu Zhi's answer gave Hua Juan and Bai Qing a huge shock. It was said that Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Scripture" had reached the acme of perfection, so it was not easy to hurt him. He did not expect the Imperial Court to fearlessly send assassins to assassinate him.
"Then... And the result?"
"Zhang Jiao is indeed terrifying! The six generals led by Chen Zhou were experts personally trained by the Emperor, and each of them had extraordinary strength to fight against a hundred. However, not only did they fail this mission, but they also failed to even hurt Zhang Jiao's hair and returned with their forged feathers. It was clear that their martial arts attainments were unfathomable!”
"One against six, and I have to kill two of them…Was this very powerful? Then where can I learn such an ultimate art? Should he buy a secret manual or go somewhere to find an expert to teach him?”
Hua Juan came from the real world of the future and had always thought that the present was an online game. After hearing Lu Zhi's explanation, he thought that it was an important part of the game, so he quickly asked where he could learn the ultimate technique in a short period of time.
Bai Qing looked at Hua Juan in confusion and glanced at Lu Zhi with a smile,""Isn't it powerful to fight against six alone? How could an expert trained by the current Emperor of Han be ordinary? If Hua Juan had the opportunity to learn a move or two, it would already be extremely useful…However, wasn't Xiao Juan thinking too much about buying a secret manual?”
Hearing this, Lu Zhi laughed out loud and stroked his long beard."If the world could really use money to buy martial arts manuals, then there wouldn't be such a mythical expert. However, according to Miss Juan, did she desire to practice martial arts?”
Hua Juan revealed a longing look on the spot and said,"Of course I hope! In this chaotic world, it was impossible to rely solely on the brilliance of one's brain. If one did not have a life-saving martial art, then one might die from the assassination of the opponent before the two armies fought. Didn't Marshal Lu see the Yellow Turban thief's methods? Although Hua Juan knew that it was because she was a girl, didn't Sister Qing also have a good ability? Hua Juan really wants to learn!"
He didn't know whether he was in an online game or the real Eastern Han Dynasty, but Hua Juan had already understood that he could continue to "play". Of course, the cultivation of martial arts was a necessary condition for survival. Moreover, she was still a delicate virgin. If she was easily killed by an opponent because she did not know martial arts, or if she was violated by a man with ill intentions, the gains would not make up for the losses. Therefore, since there were Lu Zhi and Bai Qing, who were both martial artists, Hua Juan naturally used words to lure them into the urn, hoping that the two would teach them a move or two.
"Hey! Isn't it obvious that Miss Juan wants this old man and Miss Bai to teach you martial arts?... Ha, it's a pity that this old man has only learned the most firm and Yang moves in his life. If Young Miss Juan wants to forcefully practice it, it might cause the danger of a backlash. It's better to ask Young Miss Bai to teach it to you…Miss Bai's martial arts attainments are several times higher than this old man's and this old man is merely showing off his skills in front of an expert.”
Bai Qing's cheeks immediately flushed red after being praised. She hurriedly smiled and said,"Marshal Lu, you flatter me! Xiao Juan and Bai Qing are like sisters. Since Xiao Juan wants to practice martial arts so much, Bai Qing will teach you martial arts that are suitable for women. However, you have to be mentally prepared. I'm very strict!”
Hua Juan had seen Bai Qing fight with the Yellow Turban thief and knew that her strength was not something that Lu Zhi and the others could compare to. After hearing Bai Qing's reaction, she hugged her even more happily and said,""Don't worry, Sister Qing! Hua Juan would definitely be a serious and good student!”
"Student? What is that?"
Just as he was pleased with himself, he forgot himself and spoke in a language that was incomprehensible in this era. Hua Juan quickly changed the subject and said,"It's getting late. Marshal, please go on stage and check the first team that will set off at midnight tonight!”
