Chapter 196
Hearing this, Xiao Lingyun laughed softly, "Then let's put this matter aside for now, and first look for the Heavenly Immortal Fragment Box we already know."

"Besides, wait a month before taking action. We don't have time now."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Xiaoli was puzzled, "Why did you have to wait for a month?"

"I need to be a frontier soldier for a month."

Hearing this, Zhu Xiaoli seemed to be aroused with interest in her heart. There was a golden light in her eyes, and she jumped on the spot and said, "Sounds very interesting, Xiao Lingyun, can you take me with you?"

"Let me also taste the taste of this military service."

But Xiao Lingyun was helpless at this little girl's strong request, and thought in his heart, this is only a month, it is better to let her suffer more, and have a long memory, which is also beneficial to her future development.

Xiao Lingyun nodded slightly.

……

Within the scope of the Nine Provinces of Daxia, Xuanwu Prefecture is bordered by other foreign forces. In terms of danger, it is surrounded by dangers and is easily invaded by foreign soldiers.

After all, there are foreigners across the coast here, and those barbarian thieves often lead their troops to attack Xuanwu Prefecture.

Therefore, on this Xuanwuzhou, many frontier generals are stationed here.

The number of frontier soldiers stationed here will be several times larger than that of other Great Xia and Kyushu states.

But fortunately, there were many masters in Xuanwu Continent back then. It was once the base of Buddhist forces. There were countless strong men here. Even if foreign thieves were lucky enough to invade here, they would not survive for a few days before they were killed one by one.

And here, more people who want to serve in the military need to sign up to be stationed on the frontier.

This operation process is very simple, as long as you register your name here, you can put on the military uniform and lead the army to fight.

Another point is that the age required for military service must be at least 18 years old.

But this requirement is only limited to those ordinary people who do not know martial arts.

For Zhu Xiaoli, this restriction was not a problem. When she signed up at the time, after showing her hands in front of those officers, she conquered them with her strength.

Ever since, Xiao Lingyun and Zhu Xiaoli received their own military uniforms and tokens, and rushed to the front line of Xuanwu Prefecture.

"Xiao Lingyun, I would like to ask why you suddenly have the idea of ​​becoming a soldier."

Hearing this, Xiao Lingyun laughed softly, "One night, my father entrusted me with a dream, asking me to contribute to the country."

Of course, this was also a lie that Xiao Lingyun made up at will in order to prevaricate Zhu Xiaoli.

But Zhu Xiaoli asked with a puzzled face, "Really? You can't lie to children."

"It takes a month to be a soldier. As a person, how could you be willing to spend some time on being a soldier? It's unreasonable to think about it."

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway, as long as you take me to fight with you."

"It sounds like fun to be able to fight."

"And why are the people next to us always looking at us with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes, which makes me feel cold in my heart."

Hearing this, Xiao Lingyun nodded slightly, the corner of his eyes still focused on those people.

In fact, those few people were recruiting officers who belonged to Xuanwuzhou.

Their duty is to recruit soldiers for Xuanwu Prefecture, accept some soldiers who should perform military service, and properly handle the cumbersome matters for them to enter the army.

But when they heard that Xiao Lingyun and this little girl were going to serve in the army, it was like hearing the funniest joke in the world.

And Xiao Lingyun naturally also noticed this point, he couldn't help being confused and puzzled.

Why are these officers behaving like this?
Could it be that there are hidden secrets in this?
They continued to move forward, but on the way, they could always bump into some soldiers and horses, rushing back. These soldiers looked listless, as if they had lost a battle.

It was also heard from some of the accompanying soldiers that these people should have withdrawn from the front line.

And at this moment, Zhu Xiaoli's curiosity was aroused, and she thought of the mischievous eyes of those people just now, so she rushed forward to inquire, "Xiao Lingyun, the front line is fighting so fiercely, why do you have to withdraw from the front line?" Wouldn't it be more disadvantageous to do so when some soldiers and horses came back, and now is the time when manpower is insufficient?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lingyun couldn't help but draw a curve at the corner of his mouth, his face was bewildered, and he said with a look of surprise, "I don't know about that either."

"That seems to be the case. I just heard from those soldiers that they were indeed withdrawn by those on the front line."

Hearing this, Xiao Lingyun shook his head slightly again and said, "I know this, but I still don't quite understand it."

Zhu Xiaoli was confused, "Why don't you tell me what it is?"

"Zhu Xiaoli, I want to ask who was the biggest force in Xuanwuzhou back then?"

"With your know-it-all mind, you should be able to understand that this place originally belonged to Buddhism, right?"

"That's true. In the past, this place belonged to Buddhism. That Buddhist influence spread all over Xuanwuzhou, so it can be said that other states also have Buddhist influence, but they are far less than the number of people on this Xuanwuzhou."

Then Xiao Lingyun asked doubtfully, "Since this is the case, the reason why the Buddhist forces chose this place as their base is because there are a lot of cultivation resources and many blessed places here, and it has been rooted here for nearly a thousand years, and it has also cultivated A lot of innate spiritual plants are all left here."

Zhu Xiaoli just said yes.

And then Xiao Lingyun continued to explain, "Buddhism belongs to the forces of the Jianghu. With such a great influence covering the sky with one hand and calling the wind and rain, even the local military officials and government will inevitably listen to Buddhism. Do you think this is reasonable?"

"That's natural. Today's imperial court is so inactive. They only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong. They dare not provoke such a giant as Buddhism. As long as the Buddhism puts a little pressure on them, they will be obedient like dogs."

Xiao Lingyun's face was gloomy and cold, "If that's the case, it doesn't make sense at all."

"Since Buddhism has taken root here for thousands of years, if it continues to occupy here, there are so many benefits, they have no reason to give up here."

"Not only do the imperial court officers obey their orders, it's a place where they can do whatever they want, and they have planted so many fairy grasses, Ganoderma lucidum, why would they give up these cultivation resources?"

"Just from this point of view of Buddhism, there are many doubts."

"Besides, you just said that the frontline is fighting so fiercely, and it is just a time when there is a shortage of manpower. Why would you withdraw some troops from the frontline? It really doesn't make sense."
