Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 150 Gong Shujia's Wooden Kite
No one objected.

In terms of official positions, they are not as good as Shang Lu.

In terms of strength, they cannot beat Shang Lu.

What else are you opposing?
The two generals took the lead and bowed: "We will carry out whatever your Excellency has arranged."

The four village chiefs quickly followed and expressed their agreement.

"very good."

Shang Lu was very satisfied with their obedience and did not miss their previous rebelliousness at all.

He ordered the four village chiefs: "Go and organize everyone, and follow me into the city to be examined by the witch officers of the Discipline Department."

"Censorship?"

Not only were the four village chiefs stunned, but the two centurions also frowned.

"Don't get me wrong, this is not targeting you, this is just a routine investigation. All the people in the county government office have been investigated before..."

Shang Lu explained briefly and told them that there had been spies infiltrating the yamen before, so all newcomers had to be examined, and the examination would be carried out on a regular basis.

After listening to Shang Lu's explanation and understanding the whole story, the two centurions and four garrison commanders no longer had any objections.

The four village chiefs immediately took orders and went to convey the matter to the soldiers in their respective villages.

Shang Lu looked at the two generals again and said, "Recommend ten people with scout experience to me, and one leader. I want them to start patrolling immediately after the review."

Feng Nan, the general of the hundred, recommended himself with a smile: "Sir, if you want to pick people to charge into battle, you must choose from Lao Xu's men. But when it comes to scouting, just look for me. The men under my command all have scout experience. I myself was also a scout. Even though I became a general of the hundred, I was often responsible for scouting the enemy. The leader must be me."

Shang Lu was a little surprised when he heard this.

Old scouts like Feng Nan are the elite among the elite no matter where they are.

No wonder his cultivation is stronger than that of ordinary generals, he is just one step away from reaching the perfection of Tongmai.

The border troops were willing to let go of such elite troops.

It seems that the county government, the Witch Academy and even Feng Boyuan have all put in a lot of effort.

"In that case, thank you for your hard work, Old Feng."

Shang Lu smiled and changed the address. He no longer addressed the person by his title, which made him seem more intimate.

Of course, his status and position are higher than Feng Nan and Xu Tai.

Otherwise it is not being friendly, but being impolite and disrespectful.

Feng Nan smiled and bowed: "You are too polite, sir. It is my duty and I dare not complain about the hard work."

Shang Lu looked at the burly Xu Tai again.

"Old Xu, when the investigation is over, you will go to Yunhua Mountain and take on the task of patrol and guard. I will feel more at ease with you in charge."

"Yes, sir!" Xu Tai was not good at speaking, he just bowed and accepted the order, indicating that he would live up to the county lieutenant's trust.

After all matters were arranged, about 200 border soldiers were assembled under the organization of four garrison commanders.

Shang Lu led this group of people out of the parade ground and headed straight for the witch temple in the county town.

These border soldiers had witnessed Shang Lu's strength and were strictly disciplined by the generals and garrison commanders. They behaved well along the way and did not dare to make any mistakes.

The group quickly arrived at the witch temple, and after meeting the witch, they went to a side hall for examination.

Even though these soldiers on the border were used to life and death, at this time and in this place, they still couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

Fortunately, the inspection was completed quickly, and all two hundred or so border soldiers passed smoothly without any problems.

This result made the two generals secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

If there are spies among their men, they will also be implicated.

After thanking the two witch officers from the Discipline Department, Shang Lu led the two hundred or so border soldiers back to the parade ground outside the city.

The hundred local militia commanders had already followed Shang Lu's orders and were waiting in the parade ground with some of the remaining local militiamen and the newly recruited local militiamen.

After Shang Lu and his men came back, they immediately mobilized a group of border troops, disorganized them, and mixed them with the local militia.

After the formation was completed, they were no longer border troops, nor were they local militiamen, but county soldiers under Shang Lu. Shang Lu did not let these people stay in the parade ground, but sent them directly to Yunhua Mountain to let them get to know each other in the process of carrying out the mission, and to teach and drill in actual combat situations.

These people went to Yunhua Mountain, and they could also exchange a group of people there and continue to mix them with the remaining border troops.

After the first batch of county soldiers were organized, hundreds of local militiamen led them to Yunhua Mountain.

Xu Tai did not leave. He had to stay in the training ground for the time being to keep everyone under control.

Shang Lu took Du Feng, Liu Zhi, Feng Nan and the ten scouts he selected, and rode official horses back to the county government office.

This team of border troops came with official horses.

Although not everyone had a horse, there were still about twenty of them.

More than a dozen of them were allocated to Feng Nan's detective team.

Shang Lu planned to keep the remaining official horses in the county government office, and let Xu Tai select a few capable fighters to serve as reserve troops.

Once there is a situation somewhere, he can bring the reserve troops and rush to provide reinforcements in time.

On the way back to the county government office, Shang Lu asked Feng Nan about archery and horse riding.

He always wanted to learn archery, but he couldn't find a suitable teacher. Although Niu Butou knew archery, he was just a tall guy among short guys and not very good.

As a scout of the border army, Feng Nan was good at archery and horse riding. Seeing that Shang Lu wanted to learn, he naturally agreed and promised to teach him well.

He even showed off his archery and horsemanship skills to make Shang Lu have confidence in him.

These abilities had not yet been fully demonstrated in previous encounters.

Shang Lu was very respectful and cheered continuously, but he soon noticed that there were several wooden birds pinned on Feng Nan's horse's back.

He asked curiously, "Old Feng, why are you still carrying the wooden kite? Is it a gift for your child?"

"You are kidding, my Lord. I am a bachelor and I don't even have a wife. How can I have a child?"

Feng Nan laughed at himself, took off the wooden kite from his horse's back, and told Shang Lu: "Sir, this is a reconnaissance tool."

"Detective equipment?" Shang Lu became interested.

Feng Nan introduced: "These wooden kites do not need to be fed with water. They can fly continuously in the air for three days just by sticking talisman paper on them. There is also a bronze mirror connected to the eyes of the wooden kites, which can clearly reflect what they see on the bronze mirror."

Shang Lu's eyes lit up.

It turns out that this wooden kite is actually an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft?
Feng Nan continued his introduction, pointing at Mu Yuan's abdomen and said:

"These wooden kites can also lay wooden eggs. Each wooden kite is equipped with three to five wooden eggs. They are dropped in areas that need to be monitored and can record the surrounding conditions in the bronze mirror."

Well, this is not a wooden egg, it is clearly a surveillance camera!
"Are these also treasures made by the Mohist school?" Shang Lu asked.

"No."

Feng Nan shook his head and said, "These are tools made by the military craftsmen according to the craftsmanship taught by Gongshujia. Compared with the treasures of the Mohist school, they are much simpler, but the cost is also much lower."

"Not bad."

Shang Lu was very happy. With these wooden kites and eggs, the patrol and control of Luoshui County would undoubtedly be able to be taken a step further.

After returning to the county government office, Shang Lu asked Feng Nan to leave a wooden kite, and arranged for Liu Zhi to partner with him, bring scouts, and immediately start patrolling the county.

Although Liu Zhi's cultivation was not very good, he had worked as a constable in Luoshui County for many years and was very familiar with the terrain and local customs.

Feng Nan is an experienced scout with strong capabilities.

The partnership of these two people can complement each other's shortcomings and is like adding wings to a tiger.

Facts have proved that Shanglu's arrangement is indeed very good.

In just a few days, Feng Nan and Liu Zhi discovered traces of several demons and evil cultivators.

They didn't even call for reinforcements and directly took the man back to the county government office.

Shang Lu immediately arranged for an expert in torture to begin, and he actually got some information out of the suspect.
