Chapter 302 Achieved
Under the moonlight, there was singing and dancing in the banquet hall of the Beiliang Palace, but the people at the banquet had no intention of appreciating the exquisite dance in front of them and were all a little absent-minded.
Everyone present understood very well that the night banquet was just a ceremony, the singing and dancing were just embellishments, and the highlight came after the singing and dancing.
When everyone was slightly tipsy, the singing and dancing ended, and the mess of cups and plates in front of them was cleaned up by the servants in the palace. Only a few people were left in the hall, and outside the hall, there were also many masters on guard.
Even though the Beiliang Palace was already very safe, what was discussed tonight was indeed too important, so Beiliang King Xu Xiao had to act with caution.
"Master,"
Xu Xiao stood up, pointed at the military advisor beside him, and introduced Zhang Chu solemnly, "This is my military advisor, Li Yishan!"
Zhang Chu nodded slightly, and for the first time in this world, he announced his name, "I am Zhang Chu, my Taoist name is Changsheng!"
"I am a poor Taoist.
At this point, Zhang Chu looked at Li Yishan who was sitting in a wheelchair and said slowly, "It seems that the military advisor's legs are not very convenient?"
"I was injured in my early years,"
After hearing this, Li Yishan didn't take it too seriously, "So much so that his legs couldn't even walk!"
"I am sorry to make you laugh, Taoist Priest!"
"Why is it embarrassing?"
Zhang Chu shook his head slightly, "It's just a leg disease, what's the problem?"
"It's our first meeting, so I'll give you a gift!"
Meeting gift?
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Zhang Chu, and they were all wondering what gift Zhang Chu would give to Li Yishan.
Zhang Chu just moved his hand slightly, and Li Yishan, who was sitting in the wheelchair, floated up.
"Crack! Click!"
Following the sound of bones breaking, Li Yishan's forehead was covered with sweat.
Zhang Chu actually broke Li Yishan's already damaged leg bones again.
Despite the pain, Li Yishan did not even cry out, which shows how strong his endurance is.
Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian, who were standing by, saw this scene and stood up immediately, almost drawing their swords.
However, the remaining rationality in their hearts told them that the Taoist in front of them would never do such a useless thing.
Taoist Changsheng also wants to support Xu Xiao in unifying the world, so how could he hurt Li Yishan's life?
Looking at Li Yishan's distorted face, Xu and his son just looked at Zhang Chu viciously.
Wang Xianzhi on the side seemed to realize something and looked at Zhang Chu in surprise.
"Duh~"
Zhang Chu seemed not to notice the change in their emotions. He just lightly pointed his finger at Li Yishan who was floating in the air.
The legs, which were originally limp, suddenly burst into a series of "crackling" sounds.
"Boom!"
Li Yishan was put on the wheelchair by Zhang Chu again, and he heard Zhang Chu say, "Stand up and take two steps~"
"I'm going to see what's going on!"
Take two steps?
Listening to Zhang Chu's words, everyone present turned their eyes to Li Yishan. They had already understood that Zhang Chu was just treating Li Yishan's already disabled legs.
Moreover, Li Yishan's legs, which had been disabled for decades, are very likely to have fully recovered.
Therefore, the people present, especially Xu Fengnian and Xu Xiao, were looking at Li Yishan with great anticipation, hoping that he could really stand up.
After hearing Zhang Chu's words, Li Yishan's originally calm face also showed a slight blush.
Who would want to be disabled if you can be a normal person?
Feeling the strength coming from his legs, Li Yishan tried to stand up.
However, as soon as he stood up and took a step, he leaned towards the ground, as if he could not support his body and seemed unable to walk.
Xu Xiao saw this scene, and in a flash, he supported the fallen Li Yishan and looked towards Zhang Chu, "Master?"
"nothing!"
Before Zhang Chu could reply, Li Yishan spoke up himself, his face excited, "I guess it's because I haven't walked for too long, I can't walk anymore!"
"Just practice more!"
Xu Xiao nodded slightly, but he did not intend to look away from Zhang Chu. He wanted to get a definite answer from Zhang Chu.
It was because his old friend had been disabled for so long and now there was hope of recovery, so he was naturally very concerned.
"He's right!"
Zhang Chu looked at Xu Xiao and nodded gently, "It's true that I haven't walked for too long. I forgot how to walk!"
"Just exercise more,"
At this point, Zhang Chu said meaningfully, "It just so happens that the technique I'm teaching you is the best way to recover!"
"You can let him practice for a while."
"Firstly, it can restore himself, and secondly, it can give him some self-protection power!"
"When the fight for the dragon really begins, with the force at hand, the safety factor will be greatly enhanced!"
"Thank you, Taoist Priest!"
After getting a definite answer from Zhang Chu, Xu Xiao felt relieved.
His old friend finally recovered, and he also knew what Zhang Chu said.
The martial art of longevity is based on qi and blood. When qi and blood are strong, the body will naturally become stronger.
"Old man,"
At this moment, Li Yishan had already sat back in his wheelchair, and bowed to Zhang Chu, saying, "Thank you so much, Taoist Priest!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Zhang Chu just waved his hand slightly, feeling as if he had done something insignificant.
"Master,"
Xu Fengnian stood up at this time and bowed to Zhang Chu, "Thank you, Taoist priest, for saving my foster father!"
"If you give me an order, I will fight to the death!"
Zhang Chu just smiled slightly, but had no intention of talking. Instead, he looked at Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao naturally knew what Zhang Chu meant. When he was about to speak, Li Yishan patted Xu Xiao's arm, bowed to Zhang Chu and said, "Master, your skills are really amazing!"
"But, the resources required are too many!"
"Beiliang has been at war for years, and we can't spare enough resources to train our men!"
"I wonder if the chief can solve this problem?"
"resource?"
Zhang Chu glanced at Li Yishan and asked, "You mean food and fodder?"
"Exactly!"
Li Yishan nodded firmly, "It's food and fodder!"
How many resources would be needed to supply an army of thirty to fifty thousand warriors?
In particular, these armies have to be trained from scratch. Even if the Beiliang Palace is bankrupted, Beiliang cannot train many subordinates who have mastered the first level of the Longevity Martial Arts.
"This is easy,"
It was just food and grass, not cultivation resources, but Zhang Chu didn't care at all, "I will give you the food and grass needed for 50,000 troops for a year!"
"One year is enough time for you to train up those 50,000 troops!"
"By then, we will be able to support the war by fighting, and naturally we will no longer be short of resources."
At this point, Zhang Chu smiled and said, "Beiliang is poor, but that doesn't mean other places are poor too!"
"Master,"
After hearing this, Xu Xiao hesitated for a moment, "One year is not enough to improve the combat effectiveness of 50,000 troops!"
In Xu Xiao's opinion, the food and fodder needed for an army of 50,000 in a year was just some rice and flour. As for other things, he had not thought about it.
Rice and flour alone are enough to fill the stomach, but they cannot increase one's strength much.
"Twenty thousand tons of refined rice, twenty thousand tons of beef, and ten thousand tons of refined salt!" Zhang Chu looked at Xu Xiao and spit out a few numbers lightly.
As soon as these words were spoken, those present, even those who were not so sensitive to numbers, were all shocked.
These things, let alone 50,000 people, are enough for 100,000 people to use in a year if they are frugal.
"With the help of the Taoist priest,"
The others were stunned, but Li Yishan reacted very quickly. He pushed Xu Xiao hard, and Xu Xiao immediately reacted, "What's wrong with us fighting for the dragon!"
At this moment, Xu Xiao has regained some of the passion he had in his youth.
"I just don't know,"
At this point, Xu Xiao cast a puzzled look at Zhang Chu, "Why would the Taoist priest help us with all his might?"
"What does the Taoist priest want now?"
"What do I want?"
Zhang Chu looked at Xu Xiao and said slowly, "The moment I chose you and helped you fight for the dragon, I had already placed my bet."
"When you succeed in winning the dragon battle and unify the world, I will have already gotten what I need!"
Xu Xiao looked at Zhang Chu with some confusion. He still didn't understand what Zhang Chu wanted.
As of now, Kitakura has gained huge benefits without paying any price.
As for Xu Xiao, he was still a little worried, so he looked at Li Yishan.
Li Yishan's status in Beiliang is self-evident.
Feeling Xu Xiao's inquiring gaze, Li Yishan nodded slightly. No matter what Zhang Chu wanted, the world was eventually obtained by Xu Xiao.
Now, no one present has any doubt that Xu Xiao will take over the world.
After all, so many supplies are enough to increase Kitakura's strength several times.
With a year's time and sufficient resources, 50,000 soldiers can cultivate to the first level of the Longevity Martial Arts. With iron armor, they will be able to conquer the world.
"Happy cooperation!"
Therefore, Xu Xiao looked at Zhang Chu very seriously and said solemnly.
"Happy cooperation!"
Zhang Chu also nodded, "I'll give you the supplies in three days!"
"You can get ready now!"
"it is good!"
Xu Xiao also nodded, "I will now start selecting 50,000 soldiers and begin teaching them the way of immortality!"
Zhang Chu nodded slightly.
Xu Fengnian on the side was stunned. How could he decide to rebel with just a few words?
This is too fast!
Wang Xianzhi did not show any surprise at this.
It was natural for Xu Xiao to agree. The mere existence of the Changsheng Martial Arts was enough to make Xu Xiao agree, not to mention that Zhang Chu also took out so many supplies.
How could Beiliang King Xu Xiao not agree?
Since the deal had been reached, everyone present dispersed.
As for Xu Xiao and Li Yishan, they had no intention of resting at all.
After all, they had to find a place where 50,000 troops could hide for more than a year.
The most important thing is that the 50,000 candidates are of paramount importance.
It would be troublesome if a spy sneaked in.
He needs to have a good discussion with Li Yishan.
Also, it would be best if the candidates were people with martial arts aptitude, so that the army of warriors could be formed much faster.
Just think about it, an army of 50,000 warriors above the seventh rank, how terrifying would that be?
Even if it means being the enemy of the entire world, it is enough to suppress the entire world!
The only worry is that Beiliang does not have too many peerless masters, like the level of land immortals.
"Your Majesty,"
Li Yishan looked at Xu Xiao beside him and thought of something, "What about Wang Xianzhi~"
“Do you feel hopeful?”
Xu Xiao frowned slightly, but felt a little uncertain.
"Wang Xianzhi follows Taoist Changsheng after all,"
After thinking for a while, Li Yishan said slowly, "Since he didn't object openly, there must be hope!"
"Then give it a try!"
A look of determination flashed across Xu Xiao's face.
Being able to rise from the grassroots to become the King of Beiliang, there is nothing that Xu Xiao does not have confidence in.
"Master Dao,"
Nangong Pushe, as Zhang Chu's Taoist child, naturally followed Zhang Chu all the time. She also heard Zhang Chu's cooperation with Xu Xiao, "What do you need me to do?"
"you?"
Zhang Chu glanced at Nangong Pushe and said, "You don't need to do anything!"
"We have already given so much money and food,"
"If Xu Xiao still can't succeed, that will be his fate!"
"When the time comes, just choose another person!"
"What you need to do now is to successfully practice the sword technique that dominates the world as soon as possible!"
"This sword technique is actually the devil sword!"
“The upper limit is also very high!”
"Even if you have reached the realm of a land immortal, you can still use it!"
"It even surpasses the realm of the immortals on earth and dominates the world. It can also be called a peerless divine skill!"
At this point, Zhang Chu's face became a little solemn. "However, this sword technique is too demonic."
"I hope that you control the sword instead of being controlled by it!"
Then, Zhang Chu nodded at Nangong Pushe's head, and a set of exercises appeared in Nangong Pushe's mind.
"What I can teach you is limited. Practice the Ice Heart Technique well. It will be very helpful for you to practice this sword technique!"
"Thank you, Taoist Master!"
After feeling it silently for a while, Nangong Pushe bowed and said to Zhang Chu.
"Just practice well!"
After taking a look at the sky outside, Zhang Chu said slowly, "Three days later, after handing the supplies to Xu Xiao, you will travel with me in this world!"
"There are some interesting people and interesting things that need to be met!"
"Yes, Taoist Master!"
Nangong Pushe nodded and walked out.
Zhang Chu also stood up. He thought of the Confucianism and Taoism in this world. In a short period of time, his strength was improved by several levels. Even if he couldn't reach the level of making demons surrender with just a shout, he had the rudiments of Confucianism and Taoism.
The world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio needs the existence of Confucianism and Taoism.
"It won't be too late to consider this matter after three days."
Zhang Chu's thoughts moved, but his figure disappeared, "Now we still need to prepare the supplies as soon as possible!"
