"What is this?" Zhang Ling asked curiously. He did not participate in the welcoming ceremony, but hid in the attic and quietly observed. The appearance of the Black Iron Elite Cavalry troops aroused his great interest. It turns out that the Qiu family still has such a fighting force! The cultivators in the Beast Martial Continent can generally be divided into two types. One is to practice within the system. One is to practice outside the system. The so-called within the system means within various organizations and various armies. Of course, this is Zhang Ling's own statement. If it were described in the language of the Yan Teng Empire itself, it would be whether it was working for the imperial court. The Yan Teng Empire is one of the great empires of mankind and has an extremely large number of cultivators. The Yanteng Empire has a complete court structure, a corresponding army, some special powerful institutions, and professional armed forces. Whether or not one contributes to the court in these areas has become one of the important signs that distinguish practitioners. Among them, whether one serves in the Yan Teng Empire's military system is the most important. Yan Teng Empire has a huge army of cultivators, including many outstanding cultivators. The military has a fairly complete training and promotion system, and it has considerable advantages in selecting, promoting, and motivating talents. As long as the court is not particularly corrupt, it values ??the military very highly. Every ruler of the Beast Martial Continent deeply understands the principle that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. For example, the Heisha Town Guard has a full-time army. The Yanteng Empire's army is organized according to regiments, armies, battalions, departments, troops, teams, etc. Of course, due to the special nature of cultivators, it is impossible to be as well-organized and demanding as the army on earth. Most of the time, the army formed by cultivators is relatively free. They are more often called the Guardian Team. According to the relevant laws of the Yan Teng Empire, all cultivators must perform military service. The basic meaning is similar to the compulsory military service system on earth. After cultivators break through the Liangyi Realm, they may be recruited into the army and assume certain defense tasks. It is not possible to retire until you break through the Three Talents Realm. Of course, if your qualifications are very poor and you will never have a chance to break through the Three Talents Realm, then the army will force you to retire. The army does not raise waste. Before, the old man with blind eyes in the Fire Cloud Cave once mentioned that all cultivators who have broken through the Liangyi Realm should actively consider going to the Black Sand Town to guard the palace for the trial, which means they have to perform military service. This is the reason why most of the cultivators of the Liangyi Realm and above from the eight major families are concentrated in the Heisha Town Guards. Of course, these are general laws and regulations, and their binding force is quite limited. In fact, many big families, or other forces with backgrounds and backing, have ways to circumvent these laws and regulations. If their descendants did not take the initiative to serve in the military, no one would be held accountable. Even forces like the Xia family in Wulin Town have ways to avoid military service. Even some prominent families dare to organize a certain number of private soldiers to protect their own safety. For example, the Qiu family¡¯s black iron knight is one of them. In addition to the black iron knights of the Qiu family, there are also the Jinyi Tiqi of the Chun family, the red flame knights of the Xia family, and the white-clothed followers of the Xue family. They are all professional armed forces that are independent of the Imperial Army. Their nature is often difficult to define. This is the fundamental contradiction between the four major families and the royal Mu family. Almost anyone can imagine what the royal family¡¯s attitude towards these uncontrolled armed forces would be. After the arrival of the Black Iron Elite Cavalry, there was another large group of disciples, all with bright clothes and sharp weapons, numbering in the hundreds. These people are all apprentices or disciples of the Qiu family. They followed, naturally to show off the strength of the Qiu family and make the scene even more spectacular. "Good guy, they've all come together! What are they going to do?" Zhang Ling murmured to himself curiously. He knows who is coming today. Those were two alchemists from Red Maple City. Two master-level alchemists. However, they are alchemists at the peak of the Grandmaster level, while his two masters can only be considered as early stage Grandmasters, and are still a little far away from the mid-stage. Simply speaking from the level of alchemy, the two alchemists who arrived today are indeed better than Master Yan and Master Gu. "It's just that the other party's arrival does have some bad intentions. Qiu Fengqi's order made it very clear that matters concerning Qiu Ri Yusi would be left to the two of them to handle with full authority. This was obviously a cover for Qiu Lianfeng. There were some things that went too far, and Qiu Lianfeng was too embarrassed to come forward directly, so he left it to the two of them to handle. How to deal with it? Of course it was forced. Soon after, two luxurious and extravagant carriages appeared, surrounded by black iron knights. Surrounded by a large group of alchemy apprentices and disciples, the carriage arrived in front of Qiu Jingxiang and slowlyStop slowly. Several senior disciples opened the door of the carriage, and two alchemists, who were gorgeously dressed, noble in clothes, proud in expression, and with eyes above their head, got out of the carriage leisurely. "Master Song!" "Master Du!" Qiu Jingxiang came forward and said hello proactively. These two alchemists, one is called Song Andong and the other is called Du Hainian. As alchemists at the pinnacle of the master level, their status in the Qiu family is quite important, and they are usually highly valued by the senior officials. But, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the two of them have always been Qiu Lianfeng's confidants. Their status next to Qiu Lianfeng is equivalent to the status of Master Gu and Master Yan next to Qiu Jingxiang, or even worse. Now, Qiu Lianfeng did not show up, but sent the two of them here, and gave them full power to deal with Qiu Ri Yusi. The atmosphere of conspiracy was simply too strong. "Hello, Miss!" "Miss, we are here!" Song Andong and Du Hainian both said with a smile. From their faces, there was no sign of any respect for Qiu Jingxiang, the young lady of the Qiu family. In fact, they came to forcibly recruit the last alchemist team of Qiu Riyusi. It was a violent act in itself, and naturally they would not give Qiu Jingxiang a good look. If he wanted to show Qiu Shizuka's face, he would not have allowed the Black Iron Knight to follow him. What they were holding in their hands was a written order signed by Qiu Fengqi, the head of the Qiu family. In the Qiu family, except for the strong autumn mood, who else dares to disobey the family leader's order? Even if the autumn weather is strong, I don't dare to directly open the hard top. In the eyes of the two of them, collecting Qiu Riyusi is a trivial matter. If it weren't for Qiu Lianfeng's request, they wouldn't even bother to come to Wulin Town. Qiu Jingxiang knew what was going on, and said calmly: "Two masters, please!" Song Andong glanced at Master Gu, and said without concealment: "Gutou, you look like you have regained your strength! The time to go is not far away!" Master Gu said coldly: "It's better to be able to see you again than to have a dead face like yours. Isn't it uncomfortable for you to lick other people's butts all day long without looking at the eyes of the people around you?" Song Andong's face suddenly became very ugly. His already pale face became even paler. Due to the influence of erysipelas, Song Andong's face has always been pale, indeed like the face of a dead person. There was indeed no life on his face, as if he was a zombie dug out of an underground coffin. At first glance, it will definitely scare people. However, no ordinary alchemist would dare to say that to his face. Only Master Gu dared. Anyway, Song Andong and Du Hainian had bad intentions when they came this time, so they both took the risk. Since you don't give me face, why should I give you face? Song Andong subconsciously looked around and at his disciples, and found that they had strange expressions, as if they were influenced by the ancient master. His heart suddenly became more irritable. If no outsiders were present, he might slap a few disciples on the spot. Du Hainian, who was standing next to him, said coldly: "Old Gu, we haven't seen each other for several years. It seems that all your progress is just on your lips! In a moment, we want to compete with your alchemy skills! If your alchemy skills If you don't make great progress in your skills, it will be a bit troublesome to continue to stay in the Qiu family and enjoy the happiness! Our Qiu family never needs trash. "Master Gu, are you calm and composed? He said, "I don't know if I'm a waste, but you, Du Hainian, are going to be paralyzed, right?" Du Hainian's face suddenly turned ugly. This Gu Ruohua actually exposed his scars in front of so many people. It was really unbearable. When he satirized the ancient master, he never felt there was anything wrong. However, when Master Gu mocked him in turn, he felt very uncomfortable. What's even worse is that Master Gu's words really hit his weak spot. Due to the influence of erysipelas, Du Hainian's left side has become abnormal. The reaction on the right side of his body was basically normal. However, the body reaction on the left side is always a little slower. Sometimes, it's even more than a beat slow. As time goes by, such characteristics become more and more obvious. Master Gu noticed him just now when he got off the carriage. Song Andong said gloomily: "Old Gu, be careful that trouble comes from your mouth! Wulin Town can't protect you!" Master Gu said coldly: "What? Do you, Song Andong, want to fight with my old man? Okay, my old man I'll do it with you?Try it out. Twenty years ago, you were no match for me. Now, you are still no match for me! " Song Andong was immediately furious. He immediately waved the crutch in his hand and smashed it at the ancient master. The crutch in his hand was made of the finest iron and was very heavy. Its The outside was silver-gray, and after being swung, it immediately drew a brilliant silver light in the void and hit Master Gu hard. If Master Gu was hit, he would definitely be smashed into a ball of meat on the spot. . Looking at Song Andong¡¯s actions, you can tell that he has absolutely no mercy. He really wants Master Gu¡¯s life.
