As the saying goes: a thousand people fill the city, ten thousand people fill the wilderness.
600,000 troops, was this a concept?
How big would the company formed by 600,000 soldiers be?
Even though the 600,000 troops were divided into three areas and less than 300,000 troops were stationed in Pingyu, when Ji Yun brought the five Yinyang School members and rushed to Pingyu, they dismounted from their horses and started walking. They passed through countless camps and walked for more than 20 miles, but they still had not reached the central camp where Wang Jian was.
In the main camp, more than ten generals in black armor stood on both sides, and an old man over fifty years old sat in the middle.
Half of the old man's hair was white, his beard was white, and there were many wrinkles on his face. However, he did not look old at all. Under the black armor, his slightly old face carried the iron-blooded determination unique to soldiers. Beneath his thick eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes flashed with a cold and sharp edge from time to time, making people unconsciously think of old and firm.
Wang Jian, the current number one general of the Qin country.
Or rather, the current number one general in the world,"God of War" Wang Jian.
At this moment, Wang Jian lowered his head to look at a secret document on the table, his face expressionless. The ten generals below him, of all ages, were all looking at him with the same look in their eyes-admiration.
"Report..." A report broke the silence outside the camp.
Wang Jian withdrew his gaze from the secret document and raised his head to look at the tent door." Come in."”
The tent door opened, and a soldier in black armor walked in. He looked at Wang Jian with a burning gaze and bowed." Reporting to the general, Yin Yang School's Ji Yun requests an audience. He's already outside the tent."”
"Let him in." Wang Jian was not surprised at all as he spoke indifferently. Clearly, he had long known about this matter.
The armored soldier left the tent. After a few breaths, the tent door opened again and a white robe entered.
The ten-some people's gazes all shifted to this white-robed youth with red lips and white teeth. Some were playful, some disdainful, some expressionless, but there was no friendly gaze.
Ji Yun took a quick glance at the situation in the tent and walked slowly. He still had a smile on his face and his expression was as calm as water. This situation was completely within his expectations. In fact, it could even be said that this was a good thing. How could a group of real iron-blooded soldiers be nice to a "Jianghu young master" like him? The army was a place where strength spoke. If one wanted to win their recognition and even respect, one had to show their proud strength.
Ji Yun stopped in the middle of the tent and looked at the expressionless old general. He cupped his fists and lowered his head slightly, his voice neither servile nor overbearing."Greetings, Old General Wang.”
Then, he turned to the two sides and cupped his fists at the generals standing on both sides."Greetings, Generals."
Ji Yun's move was somewhat out of the expectations of the generals in the tent. In their impression, this kind of fledgling " young master of the pugilistic world " was arrogant and unruly. They all had their eyes on the top of their heads and did not put anyone in their eyes. Therefore, Ji Yun's courtesy surprised them. After they reacted, they awkwardly cupped their fists in return.
Ji Yun didn't show any dissatisfaction when he saw this. He had experienced this scene in his previous life when he first came into contact with the real men in the army. Thinking of those admirable men in the army, Ji Yun couldn't help but reveal a sincere smile as he watched the scene repeat itself.
Ji Yun's performance was completely taken in by the old general sitting at the head of the table. Wang Jian secretly nodded his head, and his heart also relaxed. His stern face slowly softened. Ever since he saw the secret document sent by Qin Wang Zheng two days ago and learned that the young master of the Yinyang School would be sent here and would also participate in the military meeting, Wang Jian felt very uncomfortable.
Now, the Yin Yang School was very popular in the State of Qin. Their status was even very extraordinary. The young master of the Yin Yang School was a person with a very extraordinary status. And the King of Qin sent such a person to his side, yet did not state his purpose, causing Wang Jian to have no choice but to secretly speculate. Moreover, like the other generals, Wang Jian was also not interested in the "young masters of the pugilistic world". In Wang Jian's mind, the young master of the Yin-Yang School was " arrogant, ignorant, and arrogant." Would such a character really listen to his orders? Wang Jian expressed his doubt.
Therefore, he had been observing the young master of the Yin-Yang School ever since Ji Yun entered the tent.
After Ji Yun entered the sect, his series of actions made Wang Jian overthrow his subjective assumptions and view the young master of the Yin-Yang School in a new light. After living for sixty years, Wang Jian could still tell that the youth's words and actions did not have a trace of pretentiousness. They were completely sincere, including the trace of admiration in his eyes for him and the generals in the army. Especially when faced with the rude actions of the generals, Ji Yun did not show any anger or dissatisfaction. Instead, a knowing smile appeared in his eyes. Although they did not understand the meaning behind this smile, the sincerity and a feeling that only they understood that was revealed within it caused Wang Jian to have a good impression of this young man.
"Young Master Ji, it's been hard on you to come here at night.”Wang Jian said politely. Then, his tone changed and went straight to the point,"I wonder why Young Master Ji is unwilling to come here from thousands of miles away? What orders does Your Majesty have?"
After saying that, he stared at Ji Yun with a meaningful gaze. The other generals also looked at him with burning gazes.
"Old General Wang, you can just call Yun by his name, or call him Tianlan.‘Young Master Ji was just a martial arts title that the disciples of the sect loved. It could not be true.”Ji Yun cupped his fists and said with slight embarrassment, then his expression became serious.""Your Majesty, I heard that many of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy's anti-Qin forces have gathered here to help the Chu Country, causing many disturbances for the old general. That's why the king asked me to bring people to deal with these so-called chivalrous men who use martial arts to break the ban so that the old general can focus on dealing with the Chu army.”
At this point, Ji Yun paused and looked at the generals who looked as if they doubted that he could deal with the people from the Hundred Schools of Philosophy. He didn't explain further and looked at Wang Jian with undisguised admiration." Also, I want to see the style of Old General Wang commanding thousands of troops and horses. I also want to experience the blood-boiling battle of golden spears and iron horses."”
"Haha…" Hearing Ji Yun's words, the generals in the tent could not help but laugh out loud. Even Wang Jian's face had a trace of a smile. Ji Yun's objective was to their liking.
Stroking his white beard, Wang Jian smiled and said,"Then I'll just call you Tianlan. However, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed if you see this old man fighting Xiang Yan on the battlefield. You definitely won't be able to see him in the short term.”
Ji Yun nodded and said with some understanding,""I understand."
"Oh, you understand?" Wang Jian's brows twitched, and his tone was surprised. The people on both sides also revealed puzzled or surprised expressions.
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Ji Yun's heart skipped a beat as he figured out the reason. It was obvious that they did not believe that this young man with a tender face could understand the old general's intentions. Even most of the people present did not understand, and only a few people could guess a little.
In response, Ji Yun only softly spat out the word "wait".
When the generals on both sides heard Ji Yun's words, most of them were confused, and their eyes were still filled with doubt. However, a few people understood what he meant. They couldn't help but think that this youth wasn't simple. When they looked at this youth again, their gazes had changed.
Wang Jian's eyes flashed as he stared at Ji Yun with a burning gaze.
