The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

"Brother Chen, my little sister and I are both from the same hometown. My name is Zhou Wanshan, a garrison centurion in Lanling County, and my little sister's name is Zhou Ping'er." The square-faced man bowed his hands and introduced himself and his sister to Xiao Yuhan, then waved his hand to point. The round-faced man introduced: "This is my brother-in-law, Zhu Gui, Zhu Laosi, a native of Xixi. His home is close to Lanling City, and he is a member of our army. I can rest assured that my sister will marry her. This little one is from Zi Xiong'er. Born in troubled times, this child suffered a lot."

Xiao Yuhan and Zhou Wanshan and their group introduced each other and temporarily followed them. Xiao Yuhan also pretended to be shy and had a conversation with these people. After the AI ​​Xiao Xuan polished it, Zhou Wanshan and others gradually developed some feelings for this young man named Chen Wenruo. I have a good impression. Apart from being suspected of being a woman disguised as a man, she is elegant in conversation, knowledgeable, and has a faint sense of heroism. After Xiao Yuhan's translation by AI Xiao Xuan, she also understood why she met this group of people here.

Zhou Wanshan and Zhu Laosi were both privately recruited county soldiers in Xuzhou.

In the 4th year of Taihe, during the Northern Expedition of the Jin Dynasty, Lanling County was recovered. Zhou Wanshan and Zhou Laosi were both veterans of hundreds of battles and had military exploits. They spent some money to transfer back to their hometown and accompany the army to defend Lanling County.

Zhou Wanshan is the centurion of the Lanling County Patrol Battalion, and Zhou Laosi is the team leader of the patrol battalion. There are town guards in the war. This patrol battalion usually does not have much serious work except in Yurou Township.

Since the Jianghu monks were born, they were like returning from the army. They often sneaked home to help Zhou Ping'er's family with farm work, teach Xiong'er martial arts, and resell weapons to make some money.

The amount of resale was not large and Wang Xiaowei of the patrol battalion was given a [-]-[-] share on time. Wang Xiaowei was happy to turn a blind eye. Anyway, in troubled times, no one would pursue the false reports of losses.

When the foreign demons attacked Langya, Zhou and Zhu had just taken leave and brought some weapons with them and were selling them in several Wu forts near Zhu Laosi's home.

The business was going well, the money had been collected, and 4/5 of the time the goods had been shipped, an army of thousands of strange demons suddenly attacked Lanling County and uprooted all Wubao at the junction of Lanling and Langya overnight.

At the same time, strange demons continued to plunder people from various farms, and Wubao near Zhu Laosi's family was also attacked. Zhou Wanshan decisively returned to Zhu Lao's family with the remaining weapons and hired more than a dozen village warriors to arm them. , took the whole family to retreat towards Lanling City.

The group of people, ranging from old to young, were soon discovered by the strange demons who robbed the population. After a battle, Zhou, Zhu and a few guards barely protected Zhou Ping'er and Xiong'er from escaping into the forest.

Zhou Wanshan stopped Zhu Laosi's urge to go back to the military camp and risk his life with the strange demon. The group of people decisively fled south to Xiapi, and escaped to the Yishui River without any danger along the way.

Zhou Wanshan set up three camps ten miles around, changing them every two days. The guards dispersed to find out the news. When Xiao Yuhan met them, they were moving to another camp.

"Brother Zhou, you have three camps. How do you know which camp you will be stationed in when the guards are out?" Xiao Yuhan deeply admired Zhou Wanshan's caution, and also raised his own questions.

"Brother Chen, when we go out for reconnaissance, we will not meet at the camp. There is a fixed meeting point and a mark at the meeting point. Before departure, one of me and the fourth child will change the mark. They will know it when they go to the meeting point. " Zhou Wanshan walked with steady steps while answering Xiao Yuhan's questions.

"It's quite a safe way." Xiao Yuhan complimented and then said, "I plan to go to Xiapi to join my relatives, but I'm not familiar with the road conditions nearby. I wonder if Brother Zhou can give me some advice?"

"Oh? If you want to go to Xiapi, I can really help you." Zhou Wanshan raised two fingers and said, "One way is to go south along the Yishui River to Xiapi City. If the strange demons have not invaded, You can ask for directions there. The other one is coming with us and resting at the camp in front. After our people have inquired about the news, we will go to Xiapi together. They have been out for a few days and should be back soon. "

Xiao Yuhan had a mental exchange with AI Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Xuan told Xiao Yuhan that with her Qi Gathering Realm cultivation, she could go with this group of mortals first, and if she found anything wrong, she could retreat completely.

Xiao Yuhan thought about it for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she agreed to Zhou Wanshan to act with them.

After walking for less than an hour, there was a cellar for storing grain in a hill to the east of an uninhabited village. Zhou Wanshan and the others established a camp in a cave near the cellar.

The original beasts in the cave have been skinned and boned and turned into dried meat. The cave has also been repaired and expanded by them. Some traps have been set up around the camp, which is not bad as a temporary shelter.

After entering the camp, everyone divided their work. Zhou Wanshan and Zhu Laosi went to check the defense facilities. Xiao Yuhan volunteered and Zhou Ping'er was responsible for rearranging the accommodation, fetching water, collecting firewood, and lighting fires for cooking.

After dinner, it was getting dark. After asking about everyone's status, Zhou Wanshan arranged the night watch. Today he will be on duty for the first half of the night, Zhu Laosi will be on duty for the second half of the night, and tomorrow Xiao Yuhan and Zhou Ping'er will be on duty for the second half of the night. He said After that, he asked Zhou Ping'er to take care of everyone's rest, and he went out to watch the night.

Xiao Yuhan had consumed a lot of spiritual power in the past two days. After everyone fell asleep, she used the civet movement technique to leave the camp. She found a place with relatively strong spiritual energy and began to restore her spiritual power. Near midnight, she quietly Returned to camp.

The next day, Zhou Ping'er got up before dawn to prepare breakfast. Xiao Yuhan helped her. After a while, Zhu Laosi entered the camp with five people.

"Madam, our people are all back. Please prepare some more food. 9 people have returned to the camp, and there are still 4 people on guard outside the camp." Zhu Laosi walked towards Zhou Ping'er with a smile when he returned to the camp, and several others Then he went to take off his clothes and fetch water to wash his face.

"Okay, husband, you go to the cellar to get some food, and I'll bake some more cakes. Brother Chen, help me get 2 portions of the dried meat hanging on the wall." Zhou Ping'er responded and put the wild vegetables on hand. I grabbed two more handfuls and put them into the pot.

Hearing the commotion here, Zhou Wanshan, who was resting, also got up. He washed his face, and after everyone had finished their work, he called Zhu Laosi and the other six people into the innermost part of the cave to discuss matters. Xiao Yuhan helped the busy Zhou Ping. Children cook.

By the time it was daybreak, everyone had finished eating and drinking. Zhou Wanshan called Xiao Yuhan aside and said, "Brother Chen, our people have already explored the surrounding situation. Now the main force of the alien demon army is in Langya County. There has been no movement, our side is safe for the time being. When the imperial court heard that Langya County was occupied by strange demons, it immediately mobilized the army to assemble in Xuzhou. The strange demons should also know the news. If a war breaks out in the future, it is estimated that Xiapi City will become a confrontation between the two armies. On the front line, we plan to enter Xiapi County as soon as possible, and then continue south to Guangling. When the time comes, we can take the waterway to Jingzhou, or continue south to Yangzhou and Jiangzhou. I wonder what your plans are, little brother Chen?"

Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zhou, I still plan to go to Xiapi City first."

Zhou Wanshan smiled slightly and said: "Currently, the imperial court is recruiting troops everywhere. We people with weapons cannot enter the city. Once we are definitely recruited by the imperial court, our group will die when we face the strange demon. If the little brother must If we go to the city, I’m afraid we’ll be separated soon.”

Xiao Yuhan lowered his head and said nothing. Zhou Wanshan looked at him and said, "However, our people found a valley on the nearby Yishui River. When our people passed by before, they clearly remembered that there was no such valley, so they went to investigate. After a while, it turned out that the situation in the valley was very weird, like an independent world. The plants were completely different from those outside the valley. Our people entered the valley and encountered attacks from wild beasts that we had never seen before. Fortunately, our people dodge in time and were armed with weapons. It was sharp and repeled the beast, but they were unable to explore further.”

Xiao Yuhan looked at Zhou Wanshan, smiled lightly, and said, "Brother Zhou, if you have something to say, you might as well say it clearly."

Zhou Wanshan laughed, then looked at Xiao Yuhan solemnly and said: "I know you are a monk, and your level should be not low. That valley is obviously a secret place. If you have this opportunity, why don't you and I go and give it a try. Yi The water secret realm may be related to the legendary thing!"
