Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

The four of them felt that as soon as the needle entered their bodies, their eight extraordinary meridians were immediately blocked, and it was impossible for them to circulate Qi anymore.

Shen Yan looked at the conditions of the few people and nodded with satisfaction: "I have sealed your Qi channels with the Sutra Sealing Talisman. You will remain in the state of ordinary people until the sun sets."

"How is it possible, Captain? I've also heard about the Maoshan talismans from my seniors in the sect. Even if the gap in cultivation between you and us is too great, it's impossible for it to take so long." Li Sen's face was full of disbelief.

Shen Yan laughed: "You still have some knowledge, I will tell you the reason as a reward for the gold you got. My talisman is hidden in the silver needle that pierces you."

"When I was young, I accidentally discovered that the Ghost Gate Needle passed down in my family can be used as a carrier of Qi to prolong the effect of the talisman for a long time. With your current cultivation level, I think it is not difficult to seal it for a longer time. Don't think about taking the needle privately. My needle is not that easy to take. Go ahead, Captain Zhang is waiting for you."

The four little ones went to find Zhang Dabiao with sad faces. Yesterday, Shen Yan and You Ke discussed for a long time and decided to let Zhang Dabiao train them, and told Zhang Dabiao to double the training workload.

Anyway, they would circulate Qi at night to repair the damage to their bodies. The purpose of doing this was to train them to obey orders.

In Changye County, the third garrison commander, Inoue Yoshito, was listening to his adjutant reporting to him about last night’s losses.

"What? More than a dozen of our businesses were robbed? This is quite rare," he muttered to himself.

Then he called Shanxia Xiongni in Linfen to report the matter.

"Inoue-kun, what do you think of their sneak attack this time?"

Inoue Yeren said his guess: "General, I think they have such a large amount of funds, it is very likely that they have some problems with their food and grass. Because they took away a lot of weapons and equipment in the previous two sneak attacks on Changye, so they will not be short of weapons."

Yamashita Xiongni's tone was somewhat appreciative: "Very good, Inoue-kun, your guess coincides with that of the North China side. The North China side believes that the Eighth Route Army will not have a lot of food at this time of year, so they decided to launch a nine-way siege in the near future to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi in one fell swoop."

A smile appeared on Inoue Ichito's face: "General, are we finally going to take action against these Eighth Route Army soldiers? I request that the New First Regiment be handed over to me."

"Haha, ok Inoue-kun, the reinforcements I sent to you will arrive soon, and the airport secretly built behind your Changye County can be put into use at any time. North China has sent twelve fighter planes, and I hope you can wipe out your old rival, the New 1st Regiment, in one fell swoop."

"The North China side is very angry about the failure of the attack on the Yellow River defense line. They think that the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi delayed their attack. You must wipe them out this time. I promise you that your promotion to general is just around the corner." Shanxia Xiongni kept painting big promises for him.

"Hi, thank you, General. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

On the training ground of the New 1st Regiment, the four children were tortured to death by Zhang Dabiao. Others finished their morning exercises at 5 kilometers, but the four of them were not allowed to eat until they had completed 10 kilometers.

Li Sen raised an objection: "Didn't the Eighth Route Army prohibit corporal punishment of soldiers?"

Zhang Dabiao spread his hands and said, "I can't do anything about it. Your master and Captain Shen asked me to do it."

Then he gave the order: "Prepare the individual bunkers. If you can't finish digging in 30 minutes, you won't have lunch. I just told you the key points, now get started."

The few of them looked at each other, then started digging like groundhogs with pickaxes and shovels.

Zhang Dabiao smiled and nodded. He could see that these four men had excellent physical fitness and would definitely become elite soldiers on the battlefield after training. Unfortunately, he knew that he could not keep a few of them.

In the afternoon, Shen Yan came to these people and chatted with them for a while.

"How is life in the military camp?"

The four men lay in the trench and could not get up. Gao Qian was dizzy and hungry from not having eaten for two meals. He mustered up his energy and saluted Shen Yan: "Captain, were you trained like this when you first joined the army?"

Shen Yan nodded: "Yes, that was two years ago in northern Shaanxi."

Li Sen was a little confused: "But your cultivation is so high, why do you still do this? Do we Qi Refiners need to endure this kind of hardship?"

Shen Yan smiled slightly: "Remember, everything in the world is a process of refining the mind. The path of cultivation is particularly difficult. And as the times change, you will find that the things you have worked hard to cultivate are not as convenient as a bullet. Learn slowly."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the other soldiers. After walking about 20 meters, he stopped and looked at the ground, then called Zhang Dabiao: "Dabiao, this is a good place!"

He stomped his feet on the ground twice and then went to watch other soldiers train.

Zhang Dabiao looked at the ground and thought for a while, then estimated the distance. He came up to the men with a smile and said, "Captain Shen said that this is a good place. We need to prepare a trench for multiple people. It's 20 meters away. Let's dig."

"Ah~!" Several people wailed, picked up tools and started making groundhogs again. During this time, several people tried to use Qi to break open Shen Yan's talisman.

But he found that no matter what he did, he could not mobilize a trace of Qi, and he couldn't even find the needle hole of the talisman needles that were inserted into his body.

In this way, under the training of Zhang Dabiao, the four little ones gradually integrated into the new group.

At midnight, just as Shen Yan was about to fall asleep, Tian Jue hurried in: "Captain, the shopkeeper and my brother are back."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan quickly stood up and walked into the regiment headquarters, where Mu Yun was talking to Li Yunlong.

"Brother Mu, you must be here for something big so late."

Mu Yun nodded and took out two maps from his pocket and placed them on the table: "Captain Li, Captain Shen, this is the information we got when we entered Linfen. There is indeed a secret airport, and this airport is at the junction of Changye and Linfen, not far from you."

Li Yunlong cursed angrily: "Damn it, they built an airport right under my nose. These devils have big appetites. From the map, this airport and the airport in Taiyuan can pose a threat to us day and night."

Shen Yan's eyes widened: "Captain, this airport must be destroyed. Once the Japanese launch a raid on us, our air defense measures will be almost useless. We must nip the danger in the bud."

"Brother Mu, how is the Japanese airport defense situation?" Shen Yan asked Xiang Muyun.

Mu Yun said quickly, "That's why I rushed here tonight. The Japanese have a squadron of soldiers in this airport. More importantly, there is a group of Japanese warriors guarding the airport, about ten of them. Several of my guys were found by them when they were trying to get information, and two of them died. According to the people who escaped, this group of warriors is different from the previous ones. They all use samurai swords, and one of them is very difficult to deal with with a longbow."

Shen Yan frowned, "Captain, it seems we need support from the brigade. Once we attack the airport, if no one holds back the Japanese in Linfen and Changye County, our regiment will be attacked from both sides."

"Yes, this matter needs to be considered carefully."

Mu Yun made a suggestion: "Captain Shen, I suggest you hire someone. If the Lu family can send some people from North China, this matter will be much easier to handle. Besides, the Lu family is only more than 300 miles away from Changye. It will only take three to five days to go there and come back."

"The Lu family?" Shen Yan pondered the memories in his mind. The comics in his previous life had repeatedly shown that this was a very difficult family to deal with. However, the Eight Great Techniques had not appeared yet, and the Lu family had sacrificed Lu Ren in the ambush on Bihe Ninja. It should not be a problem to seek some help.

Thinking of this, Shen Yan agreed and said to Mu Yun: "Okay, but I have never been to Lujia Village, so I need Brother Mu to lead the way. Let's leave tonight without delay."

"Okay, Captain Shen, I'll accompany you to Lujia Village."
