Xue Chang asked in confusion: "Captain, this place should be far from Rongzhou. It is impossible to have an enemy situation. There seems to be no need to be so serious."

Leng Yuntian said coldly: "With the Shu River connecting Chengdu and Rongzhou, wouldn't it be more convenient and faster for us to take a boat to Rongzhou at the Chengdu pier? But Commander Jiang asked us to march on land and speed up and send scouts. Is he stupid? No, he took this opportunity to train troops, especially to let newcomers like you become familiar with and integrate into the army as soon as possible, so as to avoid rushing to the battlefield to die."

Although Leng Yuntian said something badly, Xue Chang immediately said, "Captain, you are right, I understand."

"No, you don't understand." Leng Yuntian said coldly: "Do you think we are only investigating the enemy's army? What we are going to investigate is the Jianghu people in the enemy's camp. The rebels of the Qiang people cannot appear here, but the rebels of the Iron Sword Sect may spy around. If a few martial arts masters are as careless as you, they will already rushed to you before you can react. By then, your life will be gone, so what are you talking about investigating the enemy's situation?"

Xue Chang was completely convinced: "Captain, my subordinates know that they are wrong!"

Leng Yuntian's tone was a little relieved: "But, your light skills are good, so it's okay to be a sentry detective. Who did you learn from?"

Xue Chang hesitated for a while and answered truthfully: "Senior Zhou Qiao from the Iron Blood Changhemen taught me some light skills."

"Well..." Leng Yuntian responded and suddenly said, "Start up." As he said that, he rushed forward again.

Xue Chang had to grit her teeth and chase her.

Later, Xue Chang learned that according to the military law of the Wulin Army formed by the Military Inspection Division, the scouts must release 10-20 miles during the march, and he followed Leng Yuntian and ran for more than 50 miles, almost reaching Huanglong Town.

………………………………………………………………………………

"Report! Sir, the scout Xue Chang brings it."

"Let him in."

Xue Chang walked into the military tent that he had just set up and saw Jiang Shijia, the commander of the Bashu martial arts army, who was in the tent, hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Subor Xue Chang pays homage to the commander."

"Xue Shaoxia." Although he was leading the army, Jiang Shijia still liked to use this title to show closeness in private. He asked with concern: "The reason why the army asked you to come at the beginning of camping is because you have not participated in military training before. Are you still adapting to today's marches?"

"It's OK." Xue Chang replied: "President Leng has helped me a lot."

"That's good." Jiang Shijia said earnestly: "Although Master Leng is strict in his requirements, he is fair in his work. As long as you do things seriously and do not violate the law and discipline, he will be a good captain."

Xue Chang nodded thoughtfully.

"Come on, sit down and talk first." Jiang Shijia pointed at the wooden bench next to her with a smile.

Xue Chang was not polite, and sat down as soon as he said he could.

Jiang Shijia looked at him and said seriously: "The second reason I asked you to come is that I want to express my gratitude to you. You helped you a lot this morning!"

Xue Chang was a little confused: "Sir, where do you start with this...?"

"This morning, Director Zhou handed me the application you wrote for martial arts assessment, and told me, 'Someone tampered with your information on the registration list'. I was very angry because this not only seriously violated the laws of the Military Inspection Office, but also the war was imminent. This could even be said to be a serious crime of lying about military information and delaying the opportunity to fight. I immediately ordered a thorough investigation, and the truth was soon revealed. Do you know who did it?"

"Who?" Xue Chang leaned out and asked with concern.

"Guo Youxin!"

"Ah, he!"

"He not only confessed his promise, but also insisted that he did this to save time, because he knew you and said that you were humble in martial arts..." Jiang Shijia said while observing Xue Chang: "Of course I would not agree with him and insisted on severe punishment on him. However, Guo Youxin's master Dugu Zhenren, his master Qingcheng Sect, Meishanzhai, Yindu Sect, Qingniu Sect, Tiefo Temple, Tang Sect... and even Emei Sect, almost all the heads in the lobby defended him, saying that although he made a small mistake, he was also out of kindness. Since the war was about to be imminent, let him go temporarily... Even Dugu Zhenren threatened his official with words. In this case, I had to express my compromise and say, 'If you really prove that your martial arts skills are inferior in martial arts assessment, then the punishment will be cancelled'..."

"As a result, I defeated Jiang Yifeng." Xue Chang said in a deep voice.

"Yes, your performance gave me a big surprise and made the leaders speechless, so the punishment for Guo Youxin was executed. I asked Captain Wang of the guard team to beat him with twenty military sticks. Captain Wang was originally famous for his stick skills in the martial arts world. Even if Guo Youxin has internal strength to protect his body, these twenty military sticks made him furious..." At this point, Jiang Shijia laughed and was very happy.

Xue Chang couldn't help but smile.

"It's shameful to say that it's not an exaggeration to behead him for the crime that Guo Youxin committed. I was also afraid of angering Dugu Zhenren, so I gave such a light punishment. But even so, I offended Dugu Zhenren and other leaders." Jiang Shijia sighed: "And you may have aroused their disgust!"

Xue Chang felt a deep heart when he heard this.

"But you don't have to worry. After this incident, I have my attention during this war, and no one dares to be against you!" Jiang Shijia comforted in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your protection!" Xue Chang responded gratefully.

"The abolition of the Jincheng Escort Bureau was originally intended to be able to stop the rebellion of the Tiejianmen. It would be better to be able to explain to the dead Jincheng Escort Bureau before executing it. After all, it is precisely because of my decision that the Jincheng Escort Bureau has maintained the status quo in the past six months. However, some time ago, under the instigation of Guo Youxin and Jiang Yifeng, several general inspectors strongly demanded that the Jincheng Escort Bureau be immediately revoked, and they insisted that this was a rule. I'm sorry, I didn't insist anymore..." Jiang Shijia said apologetically.

"Mr. Jiang, you have taken good care of the Jincheng Escort Bureau. The regulations are regulations. How can you violate them?" Xue Chang quickly expressed his understanding of this.

"Now that Jincheng Escort Bureau is gone, it seems you are going to continue to walk the martial arts road." Jiang Shijia asked seriously: "What are your plans after this war is over?"

Xue Chang thought about it and was about to tell the truth: "I want to apply to the Welfare Division to create a sect."

"Ah?!" Jiang Shijia originally wanted to take advantage of this question to raise the topic of his desire to let Xue Chang enter the military commander to serve as a guard.

The reason why most martial arts people who do not have sects actively participate in military training and war is that after winning, they will receive rewards, money, pills from the court... Those with excellent performance can even obtain martial arts secrets, or be favored by the Martial Arts Office, be incorporated into a guard, and become a member of the court, which will ensure their lives and martial arts practice from then on, which is much better than wandering around and being an escort.

So Jiang Shijia felt that Xue Chang would not refuse, but she did not expect that this young man under the age of 20 actually wanted to create a sect. This surprised him. He was stunned for a moment before asking: "Why does Young Master Xue want to establish a sect?"

Xue Chang looked embarrassed and struggled for a while before whispering: "Master Commander, on New Year's Eve, you asked me for the hot spring post bloody incident. Please forgive me for not telling the truth completely."

"Oh?" Jiang Shijia pinched her chin with her hands.

"Actually, after I fell off the plank road, I was in danger of my life. Later, I was rescued by my master... He used a strange method to massage for me. In the end, he not only healed my injuries, but also cleared my meridians, which greatly improved my physique and made my physical fitness easier to master. He also taught me some martial arts... This is the main reason why my martial arts have improved so much compared to half a year ago." Xue Chang said seriously.

Jiang Shijia listened very seriously and couldn't help asking: "What's your master's name?"

"He has white hair, long beards and knees, but his face is like a childish face. He can't tell me his name. He claims to be "Xiaoyao Old Man". He only said that he is destined to meet me in the mountains... In a small cave, I stayed with him for a month, and he floated away and disappeared... Although he never admitted that I was his disciple, I always admitted in my heart that he was my master and he recreated his kindness to me, so I decided to create a sect called Xiaoyao Sect, so that it will shock the martial arts of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future. Perhaps one day my master will come to me when he heard the news!" Xue Chang said excitedly.

"Old Xiaoyao... Xiaoyao Sect... Um..." Jiang Shijia stroked her beard with a solemn expression. She had already believed in the story told by Xue Chang in her heart. He was once a member of the Dragon Guard, but not an ordinary court official with no power. Xue Chang's martial arts skills were indeed very advanced and he was completely different from the rumored low martial arts skills. This is a fact, and...

He asked in a deep voice: "Is the palm technique you used when you compete with Jiang Yifeng until the end--"

"That's right, that's one of the martial arts taught by the master, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms." Xue Chang immediately said.

"Oh, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms..." Jiang Shijia chanted the name in a low voice.

In order to maintain the superficial auspiciousness, Xue Chang kept telling herself in her heart: I did not lie, most of what I said was facts, and saying the Wulin Sect system was the old man Xiaoyao, just to make people of this era better understand.

The reason why Xue Chang made up this story to tell Jiang Shijia at this time was because he had already shown his true strength to the Bashu martial arts people in the martial arts field of the Martial Arts and Military Affairs Bureau. There will definitely be many people who are curious about his rapid progress in martial arts in a short period of time. This story is enough to answer all the questions and lay the foundation for his subsequent creation of the Xiaoyao Sect. Jiang Shijia was the first person to listen to this story, but it is definitely not the last one.

Of course, Xue Chang dared to tell the story of his unique skills because he had learned in detail about the laws of the Military Affairs Office, including the ban on "Wu Lin people shall not covet or rob the martial arts secrets owned by others, and violators will be severely punished." It is said that the Military Affairs Office specially listed this article separately in order to prevent the recurrence of the martial arts chaos caused by the previous dynasty's struggle for martial arts secrets. And in the past twenty years, no such thing has ever happened in the world.

"There are endless strange people in the martial arts world, and there are many people living in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Maybe this old man Xiaoyao is a martial arts master who once dominated the world decades ago. Young Master Xue is really lucky and can get the favor of such a master!" Jiang Shijia sighed.

"On the way back to Chengdu, I was taught by Geng Po and Geng for more than a month. During the period after returning to the mansion, Senior Zhou Qiao also taught me the unique skills of light skills... Maybe Lord Jiang, you are right. If you lose your horse, how can you know the good or bad luck?" Xue Chang was also sighing, but his expression was a little sad: "But it would be even better if my father could escape this disaster..."

Jiang Shijia comforted: "If President Xue knew that Young Master Xue was so outstanding now, I believe he would be very pleased if he was in the Nine Springs!"

He paused and asked in a deep voice: "Young Master Xue is ambitious, which is admirable, but it is not easy to create a sect. Do you know what conditions it requires?"

"First, apply to the Military Inspection Department. After obtaining approval, you must go through three assessments. First, unique martial arts; second, apprentices with good martial arts; third, pass the martial arts competition assessment." Xue Chang said fluently and said: "As long as Lord Jiang approves my application, I have all the first two conditions. As for the last condition, isn't it just a fight? I still have some confidence."

"It seems that Young Master Xue has made careful preparations and is bound to create a sect." Jiang Shijia smiled and said in a deep voice: "For me, of course I really hope to see Young Master Xue build a sect and strengthen the strength of our martial arts world. So even if I can't make the decision completely in the entire assessment process, I will definitely support you with all my strength!"

"Thank you for your support!" Jiang Shijia's clear statement made Xue Chang happy.

"However, Xue Shaoxia——" Jiang Shijia said in a deep voice: "In order to prevent accidents, I suggest that before you create a sect, it is best not to mention what you said to me just now to others!"

Looking at Jiang Shijia's solemn expression, Xue Chang nodded heavily: "I understand, thank you for your reminder!"

After Xue Chang left, Jiang Shijia was still sitting quietly. Looking back on the conversation just now, he originally wanted to win over this martial arts JJ, who did not belong to the major sects of Bashu, but had a promising prospect. However, he did not expect that this conversation would bring him great gains. A smile appeared on his face: "The mysterious old man Xiaoyao... the old man of the iron-blooded Changhemen who took the initiative to teach martial arts... created a Xiaoyao... Well, it's interesting."
