Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 13

As the largest and longest mountain range in Yu Yutian, the Ancestral Dragon Mountain Range stretches across the north and south, and has nurtured countless mountain people and monsters around it, and has become a natural barrier between the two races of humans and monsters.

Every year in the first lunar month, the nations of the human race will solemnly offer sacrifices to the ancestral Longshan God to show their gratitude.

It's strange to say that the Ancestral Dragon Mountain Range is like a giant dragon that has been cut into dozens of sections, and there is a mountain path running through it at every interval.

For this reason, human beings had to build fortresses at these mountain passes to resist the monster race's invasion.

In Zhaoyao County alone, there are as many as four such passes, and Yize Pass is the southernmost one. Because the mountain road is narrow, only three people can walk side by side, and the pass is also very small.

Because the Yaozu only invaded in spring every year, at other times, the defenders of the pass seemed very lazy, licking their wounds silently, waiting to fight again in the coming year.

When I am bored, I go to Bianguan Town to have fun.

But this year's situation is obviously different from previous years. The pass is lifeless and morale is low.

When it was learned that the troops were kicked out of the Southern Army Corps and placed under King Qingqiu's command, the Fifth Battalion went up to the battalion and down to the soldiers, looking for a way out, hoping to be transferred back to the Southern Army Corps.

It was obvious.

Compared with the Southern Army, which is well paid and has a deep foundation, it is really difficult for a prince who can't protect himself to make the soldiers feel at ease and loyal. I am afraid that they will have to finish playing by the beginning of next spring.

As a result, only Yingzheng had a strong enough relationship to be transferred away.

The subsequent development of the matter really verified the worries of the soldiers one by one. The missing soldiers were no longer replenished, weapons and equipment were nowhere to be replenished, and food, grass and military salaries were indefinitely in arrears
There is no one thing that makes people happy.

That King Qingqiu did not "disappoint" everyone, he was killed before he took office, and became a polished commander; when he arrived at the county government, he was underwhelmed, and even a small county magistrate could not be ruled.

How can such a prince be counted on?

If it weren't for the strict military regulations of Dagan, deserters would be punished as treason. Not only would they be executed, but their families would also be harmed. I am afraid that someone would have escaped long ago.

Staying any longer is just waiting to die.

It was against this background that Qian Yuan and his party suddenly came to the pass city without saying hello in advance, only to see the city gate wide open and no one patrolling the city wall.

Even if Qian Yuan was a military idiot, he knew that this situation was abnormal, so he got out of the car and entered the pass surrounded by Xu Chu and others, and finally saw two soldiers guarding the gate.

"Who are you? This is an important military site, and idlers are not allowed to enter."

"presumptuous!"

Zhou Qing came out more and more, "The prince is here, and I haven't come to see you yet."

"Bye, my lord!"

The two soldiers panicked and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Qian Yuan said coldly: "Notify all the soldiers to gather at the school grounds within the time of a cup of tea. Those who arrive late will be punished according to military law." He never expected that military discipline would be so lax.

"promise!"

A soldier ran to inform, and another soldier stayed behind and took Qian Yuan to the school grounds.

The entire pass suddenly jumped up and down.

Qian Yuan stood expressionlessly on the stage of the school field, while Xu Chu, Zhou Qing and five guards stood behind him like javelins, adding a bit of power out of thin air.

Especially Xu Chu, like a fierce god, made the school grounds more chilling.

The soldiers came rushing in from all directions, they were cursing, but when they saw this, they shut their mouths and stood in line.

"My lord is here, I will welcome you at the end, and I hope to forgive you." A general Xuanjia hurried to Qianyuan to plead guilty, with a scruffy beard and no age, it was Zheng Dai Chonghua, deputy battalion of the fifth battalion.

"Let's be listed!" Qian Yuan was noncommittal.

Dai Chonghua retreated angrily.

Tilting slightly, Qian Yuan looked up at the sun.

Zhou Qing understood, stepped out, and shouted loudly: "It's time, start counting people."

After the counting, Dai Chonghua stepped forward to report: "To the lord, there should be 405 people in the fifth battalion, but 322 people actually arrived, 62 people were late, and 21 people were absent."

"Latecomers, run [-] laps around the school grounds, and execute immediately. Absentees, will be whipped [-] times, and write it down for now."

"As ordered!"

Dai Chonghua knew that the prince was going to use this to build his prestige, so he didn't dare to disobey the slightest, and personally supervised the law enforcement.

Qianyuan's face turned slightly bright. At least Dai Chonghua was not completely confused. Then his face turned cold again and he said in a deep voice: "Who is Li Xie? Come out!"

"The end is here."

A young man standing in the front row stood up nonchalantly, and his words were weak. Others were afraid of Qianyuan, but he was not, he was just a coward.

Because of Li Feng, Li Xie even had some resentment towards Qian Yuan.

Qian Yuan sneered, as if looking at a dead person, "Bring the plaintiff and witnesses."

"Yes!"

A guard was ordered to leave, and after a while, he brought up Qin Shi and the buddy who disappeared with her.

When Qin saw Li Xie, she rushed up like crazy, muttering: "Bastard, give back my daughter's life, give back my daughter's life~~~~"

Fortunately, he was stopped by the guards.

Seeing Qin Shi, Li Xie's face changed drastically and his eyes flickered.

Some of the soldiers below were confused, some looked terrified, and some were gloating. It was so lively, and Dai Chonghua's eyes flashed an inexplicable light.

Qian Yuan simply treated the school as a court, "Mr. Qin, tell me about your grievances, and I will make the decision for you."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Being able to run a restaurant, this Qin family is not an ordinary woman, she quickly stabilized her emotions, told all the events that happened that day, and even presented the clothes her daughter wore that day as evidence.

"You're talking nonsense, don't spout blood!" Li Xie finally became anxious.

Qian Yuan ignored it, and interrogated the witnesses. After confirming everything, he looked at Li Xie, "Now the evidence is solid, what else do you have to say?"

Li Xie said: "This is just a woman's one-sided opinion. I ask the county government to interrogate."

"Humph!"

Qian Yuan sneered, not wanting Li Xie not to give up until now, said in a deep voice: "As a general in the army, you raped a civilian girl, and you should be punished for your crime. I condemn you."

"Come on!"

"Here!" Zhou Qing came out.

"Take Li Xie down!"

"As ordered!"

"you dare?!"

Li Xie was furious, without even thinking about it, he drew out the long sword at his waist, his eyes flashing fiercely.

The eyes of the soldiers who followed him were also twinkling, and they held their weapons tightly. They were all Li Xie's confidantes, and several of them were parties involved. Their interests were tied to those of the Li family.

Under Li Xie's signal, these people gritted their teeth and raised their knives to stand in front of Li Xie. However, Li Xie himself was planning to take advantage of the chaos and flee. He wanted to flee back to the county seat and seek the protection of his family.

"The mantis arm is the car!"

With a flick of his spear, Zhou Qing blatantly rushed into the crowd.

As a master of Wu Zong in the early stage, although Zhou Qing's injury has not yet healed, he is not something these warriors can shake.

In just a short while, Li Xie had already reached the gate of the school grounds.

"Want to go? No way!"

Zhou Qing accelerated suddenly, his whole body turned into a streamer, and he caught up with Li Xie in an instant, and stabbed out with a long spear, straight for Li Xie's back.

Sensing the danger, Li Xie had no choice but to turn around to block, his face extremely ugly. Although he is a martial arts genius in Yize County, he is only a mid-stage martial artist.

In less than ten rounds, Li Xie was captured by Zhou Qing and brought to Qian Yuan.

Qianyuan looked around the school grounds, looking at the soldiers who stayed out of the whole process, and said coldly: "Take them down and behead them in public."

"promise!"

"My lord, my lord, my lord, my life~~~" At the end of his death, Li Xie finally gave up, and couldn't stop begging for mercy, with tears and snot flowing from his nose, and he no longer had the previous unruly image.

Unfortunately, Qian Yuan was completely indifferent.

Seeing this, the soldiers at the scene felt sympathetic, and all the neglect and contempt before were swept away. They didn't expect that there would be a master of Wuzong level beside the prince.

Only Dai Chonghua looked calm.

After a little tilt, Li Xie's head was lifted up, his eyes wide open, obviously he was dying.

"System prompt: kill one martial artist, get 200 killing points."

"Ok?"

A martial artist is at the same level as a great demon, so why is the killing value twice that of the latter? Could it be that Li Xie has an official position and is blessed by luck? !
Qianyuan can only make this speculation, and the Gao Leng system doesn't bother to explain.

When Mrs. Qin saw the head, she couldn't hold on any longer. She cried bitterly while holding her daughter's clothes, and collapsed to the ground.

"Help her down." Qian Yuan remained expressionless.

Zhou Qing pointed to Li Xie's party and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do with these people?"

"As a soldier of the empire, how dare you commit crimes below and above, and collude with criminals. This is an unforgivable crime. Abolish their martial arts and send them to iron mines for hard labor. They will not be pardoned for life."

Now that they are at odds with each other, Qianyuan naturally wants to eradicate the roots.

"As ordered!"

Zhou Qing did not hesitate at all, and crippled the martial arts of these people on the spot.Hearing the screams, the hearts of all the soldiers on the scene became tense, their lords are really ruthless.

Standing up, Qianyuan knew it was time to show favor, and clapped his hands, "Bring the things up."

"promise!"

Several guards carried large boxes and placed them on the check-in platform.

"what is that?"

With the previous foreshadowing, the soldiers did not dare to make noise anymore, they only muttered secretly in their hearts.

"Open the box!"

The guards were ordered to open the boxes one by one.

One thousand catties of spiritual rice, three boxes of jerky monster meat, one box of medicinal materials for body training, one box of silver, and three thousand low-grade spirit stones. These are the meeting gifts Qian Yuan brought to the Fifth Battalion.

"This……"

The soldiers were stunned. They didn't expect such a surprise, and they were all dazzled.

Qian Yuan said: "You have been wronged in the past few months, and these things should be regarded as small compensation. This king promises that in the future, the treatment in the army will never be lower than before, and will only be more generous. The premise is that you must be loyal This king, follow this king, listen to this king's orders, you must have the blood and discipline of a soldier, not a bunch of wimps."

"Swear allegiance to the prince!"

Since the matter could not be changed, Qian Yuan made another statement, how could the soldiers be ignorant, no matter if they were sincere or not, at least on the surface, they all knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully.

Most of these people are veterans of the battlefield, and they have a terrifying murderous aura. Once they get together, even if they don't intend to, they will burst out with a fierce aura that will rush towards Qianyuan.

Qian Yuan clenched his fists tightly, and finally did not lose his composure, and stood firmly without changing his expression.

When the soldiers saw this, they nodded unconsciously. This alone was enough to win their trust. They didn't want to be led by a soft guy.

Qian Yuan stabilized his mind and said, "From now on, the Fifth Battalion will be renamed Yize County City Defense Battalion, and Zhou Qing will be the battalion officer."

"The last general takes orders!"

Zhou Qing understood and went out again, and his title changed accordingly.

Then, Qian Yuan appointed another guard to replace Li Xie as a general of the first team of the city defense battalion, which was equivalent to finding a helper for Zhou Qing.

If Zhou Qing can't control the city defense battalion like this, then he doesn't deserve Qian Yuan's support.

In the afternoon, Qian Yuan set off to return to the county seat. Before leaving, he told Zhou Qing again, "I will leave the city defense battalion to you. Don't let me down."

"Your Highness, don't worry, within a month, His Highness will be returned to a well-disciplined city defense battalion." Zhou Qing issued a military order with full confidence.

"That's good!"

Without further words, Qian Yuan turned and left.
