Chapter 222: Moon-Watching Peak, a Clash between Martial Arts Students and the Provincial Inspector

Martial arts.

On the martial arts field, teams of soldiers lined up to fight against the martial artists in front of them.

These soldiers were all led by training officers and were familiar with the military formations.

Those who fought against them were martial artists recruited by Zhang Yuan from the Yuanwu Sect and other martial arts sects, who would join the Black Ice Platform in the future.

Although it was just a drill, both sides were quite strong and when they got angry, they were full of murderous intent.

"According to Master Zhao's arrangements, this is our seventh military formation drill, which includes logistical supplies, troop deployment, the transfer of the wounded, and the resettlement of civilians."

Young Master Xun, standing at the edge of the square, lowered his voice and looked at Sima Zhou Zhengtong, who stood with his hands behind his back. "Sir Sima, from what I can see, all the training officers and garrison troops are cooperating well, and should be able to coordinate and organize things in an orderly manner."

Zuo Qiuren and others were all at the square. Seeing teams of soldiers moving in and out, surrounding and dividing the martial artists, they all nodded in agreement.

When the army faces martial artists, as long as they gather their troops and suppress them with their weapons and armor, the martial artists will have no choice but to retreat.

"Mr. Zhao, in your opinion, is there anything else that needs to be done?" Zhou Zhengtong turned his head and looked at Zhao Yu.

Other people on the edge of the square also looked at Zhao Yu.

During this period, the army's combat effectiveness was able to take shape quickly and the drills became smoother, and Zhao Yu's dispatch and command played an indispensable role.

There is no worry about logistics, and the military formations can ensure that the troops have the upper hand at all times. These seemingly subtle arrangements make everyone look at them with admiration, and no one dares to go against their thoughts in the slightest.

Especially the daily drills, from being disorganized at the beginning to being smooth later on, the combat effectiveness has been visibly improved.

This is real martial arts training, and everyone is really learning something.

These things may become the skills to save your life and earn military merit in the future.

"Although the military formations are well-rehearsed, it's still just a drill." Zhao Yu looked towards the square and lowered his voice. "We've been following simulations based on a sand table and haven't seen the Red Dragon Ridge environment firsthand."

"If possible, I'd like to go to Chilong Ridge." Turning to look at Zhou Zhengtong, Zhao Yu said, "It would be best if all the students in the training could go and take a look."

Go take a look at Chilongling.

Although the battlefield was set at Chilong Ridge this time, all the students in training were kept in the martial arts school, and no one really knew the true situation in Chilong Ridge.

Zhou Zhengtong frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation showing on his face.

He knew that what Zhao Yu said was the truth, but he was just training the students in Chilong Ridge, and what if something unexpected happened.

Also, if the news is leaked, all the efforts will be wasted.

There must be many arrangements of the Qingxuan Dao Sect on the other side of Chilong Ridge. If the students undergoing training are discovered there, will it affect the subsequent arrangements?

Subconsciously, he looked up at Zhang Yuan who was standing behind Zhao Yu.

"There is a Moon-Watching Peak on Chilong Ridge not far from Chilong Temple. Standing on the peak, you can see the entire Chilong Ridge clearly." Zhang Yuan said loudly.

Zhou Zhengtong nodded and said in a deep voice, "Then let's train the students and go to Wangyue Peak."

----------------

Moon-Watching Peak.

Although it is called a peak, it is actually just a protruding part of the mountain that is slightly higher than other places in Chilongling.

Standing on the top of the peak and looking down, you can clearly see the surrounding areas of Chilong Ridge, including Chilong Temple.

As Zhao Yu said, no matter how finely the sand table is made, there will still be errors.

In a large-scale war, a small error is nothing, but in a small-scale fight with martial artists, an error can affect the outcome of the battle.

For example, I hadn’t expected the cliff in front of the Red Dragon Temple to be more than three meters high.

Three meters high, many martial artists can use the force to climb up, but ordinary soldiers can only watch.

Also, the stream that was just a white line on the sand table has grown to two meters wide due to the heavy rain in recent days.

After compiling this information, we will need to change some of the previous arrangements and drill schedules.

"somebody is coming."

Zhang Yuan and Zhao Yu stood on the top of the mountain observing when someone whispered behind them.

Everyone quickly followed the previous arrangements and retreated to hide behind the rocks.

After a while, five figures appeared on the mountain path and quickly climbed up the mountain.

However, these five figures stopped halfway and then walked down the mountain.

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the five figures.

Being able to sense the ambush on the mountaintop from a distance of thousands of feet, he must be at least in the late Xiantian realm. Someone from the Qingxuan Dao Sect?

If it was someone from the Qingxuan Taoist sect, a master of such cultivation would never retreat, but would most likely go straight up the mountain.

Except for He Jinquan of Yuanwu Sect, no one else in the Zhengyang County martial arts world can leave behind a late Xiantian realm cultivator.

When these people discovered that there were people on the top of the mountain, they turned around and left, most likely because they did not want to reveal their identities.

“There’s something wrong with these people.”

Zhao Yu looked at the people who were leaving and spoke in a low voice.

Could it be that there are other forces spying on Chilong Ridge?
Zhang Yuan stood up and said in a low voice, "Keep them."

……

Xun Huo didn't expect that there was someone hiding on Wangyue Peak, but Wen Gezheng reminded him.

They did not want to reveal their identities, and even less want to meet the people on the mountains.

Unfortunately, things went against their wishes. They had only retreated a hundred feet when the people who had climbed the mountain were already chasing them.

Cao Chunbao looked back, his eyes shining with brilliance.

"Do you want--"

Xun Huo shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Don't do it unless you have no other choice."

They only came to investigate the chaos in the martial arts world, not to directly intervene in the chaos in the martial arts world in Zhengyang County.

A group of martial arts students rushed down from the mountain and surrounded Xun Huo and others.

"My dear friends, we are merchants from Kuaiji County who have come here to purchase goods. Please give us some favors."

Xun Huo gave a wink, and a young man in a black robe came out with a small cloth bag in his hand.

The students remained silent, turning to look at Zhang Yuan who was walking over.

"Merchant?"

Zhang Yuan glanced over and asked, "What are you here to buy?"

The young man in black robe hesitated for a moment, and Xun Huo said in a clear voice, "Wine, buy some wine. I have a good friend who buys wine from this place all year round, but he couldn't deliver the wine this year, so we had to come here ourselves."

"What kind of wine?" Zhang Yuan asked again without changing his expression.

Xun Huo replied, "Spring rain condenses into jade dew, and spring breeze blooms peach blossoms. My old friend is selling jade dew peach blossoms."

After hearing Xun Huo's answer, one of the students said, "No, the Jade Dew Peach Blossoms are already dead."

"Yu Lu Tao Hua should be a famous liquor from Kuaiji. How could it be sold here?" Someone frowned.

Zhang Yuan's gaze fell on the people in front of him.

Some of these five people have extremely high cultivation levels, and most of them have extraordinary bearings.

The most important thing is that they actually knew that the last batch of Jade Dew Peach Blossoms was in the Red Dragon Temple.

The only people who knew about this were those who had read the battle reports sent from the Black Ice Platform to the Imperial City.

In other words, these people in front of him all have official backgrounds.

Official background?

A smile appeared on Zhang Yuan's face.

Press the chaser.

"Everyone, we have something to take care of and we can't let the news get out. We have no choice but to trouble you to come with us."

"Once we've finished our business, we'll deliver the wine you requested."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and a group of students came forward.

Cao Chunbao frowned, took a step forward, and grabbed Zhang Yuan in the chest. On the other side, the attendant Wen Gezheng stepped forward slightly to protect Xun Huo.

Zhang Yuan saw Cao Chunbao reaching out his hand, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he threw a punch.

"Bam—"

Zhang Yuan didn't move his feet. Cao Chunbao took a step back and exclaimed: "Mountain--"
