Seekers Without Bounds

"Shi Xunfei, do you think you are capable of being the general flag?" Lu Yansheng asked.

"I can do it, but it will take at least a month. Now we are afraid of affecting unity." Shi Xunfei said.

"After just one month, you're very confident." Lu Yansheng felt that Shi Xunfei was so mature that he didn't seem like a teenager.

"I see that your wind language power has overflowed, you are about to enter the realm of quality." Guan Ting observed Shi Xunfei for a long time and spoke.

"That's right. I would like to ask the two commanders, is there a place in Washi Village with sufficient wind spiritual power?" Shi Xunfei asked, taking advantage of the rare opportunity.

"There was one before, but now that position is occupied by the Ye Luo people." Lu Yansheng said.

"If you want to enter the realm of quality, the risk will double if you don't have the first-level elixir," Guan Ting reminded.

"Commander Lu wants to promote me to the position of general flag. If I can't reach the first rank, it will not comply with the border army's employment rules. The other general flags will also have opinions about the people below. So this is another question I have. Can we buy the first rank pill in Washi Village or Wangcheng?"

Shi Xunfei was also worried about the first-level elixir, and since Guan Ting mentioned it, he might as well ask about it.

"For the first-level elixir, forget about it in Washizhai. Even the fire-refining elixir is scarce here. Even if there is any in Wangcheng, it will not be your turn." Lu Yansheng's words poured a bucket of cold water on Shi Xunfei.

"We don't have the first-level elixir, but the Ye Luo border troops have some in Qiwang City, where they are stationed," said Guan Ting.

"But I can't go to Chitwan City either." It seems that the difficulty of entering the tile stone is much higher than that of the Sacred Tree Temple.

"Just because you can't go now doesn't mean you can't go in the future. You are still very young. It's rare for you to be able to enter the rank at such a young age, I'm afraid, in Yunchuan Shenshu Temple and Miandu."

Lu Yansheng really didn't expect that Shi Xunfei would actually consider entering the rank at this age.

"Okay, there's no rush for the first-level pill. You also have to participate in the combat deployment against the Ye Luo people this time. Go to the council hall and wait, I'll be there soon." Lu Yansheng said.

"promise."

"What do you think of him?" Lu Yansheng praised Shi Xunfei as he left. In fact, it was Guan Ting who wanted to meet Shi Xunfei today.

"Are you really planning to hand the scout flag to a fourteen-year-old boy?" Guan Ting asked back.

"It's not that I want to hand it over to him, but no one is willing to take over the scout flag now. Three general flags have died in a row. Who would be willing to take over?" Lu Yansheng said helplessly.

"Although he is young, he is not frivolous. He is only fourteen years old, but he is already shrewd and has reached the door of promotion. Such a young talent should be cultivated slowly. More haste makes waste. But I don't understand what is going on in the Shenshu Temple that they sent him here." Guan Ting, who has been in Washi Village all his life, is also puzzled.

"Who knows? He's not like Lu Zhaohui. Everyone knew what was going on before he came. No one said hello to me. He just jumped out of the stone. Since he's here, it would be a waste if I don't use him."

Lu Yansheng did not find any background information related to Shi Xunfei.

"The one who has no background at all is the real depth. It is easier to deal with someone whose background is clear once checked. After you, there is no one left to carry the flag in the entire Waishi border army. What we lack now is talent. There are people with connections everywhere. If this continues, Waishi Village will not be able to be preserved." Guan Ting picked up the pipe again and started smoking.

"I don't know whether Washi Village can be saved, but I don't think the Washi Border Army can be saved. Look at Lei Mingyu's current actions. Once I retreat, the patrol camp and the border army will definitely merge."

Lu Yansheng didn't get the blue ginseng fruit, so there was no hope for him to upgrade. Although he was not satisfied, he could do nothing about it.

"Don't be discouraged. It's still unknown who will win until the last moment. Now is the perfect opportunity. Lei Mingyu can't stay out of this."

Although Guan Ting retired, he was still the founder of Washi Village.

I could have gone to any beautiful city in Yunchuan to retire.

But he still stayed in Washizhaizi, because he couldn't bear to give up the small border town that he built brick by brick.

Everyone in the meeting hall was talking about what happened yesterday.

Shi Xunfei humiliated Duan Zili, making him too embarrassed to attend the combat deployment meeting today.

"Duan Zili really overestimates his own abilities. He dares to offend those sent by the Divine Tree Temple." said the chief flag bearer of Youbian Banner.

"Who knows him? He was with my deputy commander yesterday. With his strength, even if the higher-ups don't send anyone, he won't be able to become the commander-in-chief."

"If the scout flag hadn't killed three scout generals in a row, this position wouldn't have been vacant for a year."

The generals naturally understood the reason. If it was really a good job, Duan Zili would not even be the first in line.

"Hello, hello, here he comes, he is Shi Xunfei."

Shi Xunfei also arrived, and everyone stopped talking when they saw him.

It was a really strange feeling when I walked in and felt like everyone was watching me.

There are no tables or chairs in the assembly hall. From front to back, the hall is arranged in a stairway, low at the front and high at the back. There is a high platform in the middle.

All the captains and generals were standing there. They were all tall and strong, and not young at all.

Fourteen-year-old Shi Xunfei is short, thin and dark, and is the most special among the group of people.

After looking around and not recognizing anyone, Duan Zili did not attend the meeting.

Shi Xunfei deliberately stood back, but everyone present looked at him from time to time, wondering: Am I so famous?

After waiting for a while, Lu Yansheng also appeared on the high platform, but the old commander was not with him.

"I'm sure you all know what the situation is. Spread out the map."

Lu Yansheng ordered his attendants to unfold a large map behind him.

"Three of the seven outposts our border troops deployed have been captured by the Yeluo people."

The golden wheat in Lu Yansheng's hand gathered into a thin stick and pointed to the crossed-out location on the map.

"Tell me, how should we take it back next?"

Lu Yan raised his head. The people below were talking animatedly, but they were actually just talking to themselves.

No one dared to speak out, as no one wanted to be the first to speak out.

Looking at the chattering group of people below, Lu Yansheng felt very sad.

It has been a long time since there have been any major battles, and the border troops are filled with people who just want to get by.

The slightest movement of the Ye Luo people revealed the true colors of a group of people.

"Okay, stop arguing, Tang Wenjing. Your Ruishi Banner is the vanguard of the border army. What do you think?" Lu Yansheng asked.

"Commander, I think the key problem is that the scout flag is currently incompetent. The intelligence it provided was worthless, which led to misjudgment on the front line and the loss of the sentinel point."

Tang Wenjing directly pushed the responsibility onto the scout flag, since they didn't have a general flag anyway.

Duan Zili is neither good-looking nor useful, and the newcomer is just a little kid. Let them take the blame, and everyone will be better off.

"What General Tang said is true, and so is what our Wuzu flag said. A large number of Ye Luo riders appeared on the left side of the defense, and the scout flag had no advance warning at all." Someone took the lead, and others followed suit to pass on the blame.

"What General Manager Lei and General Manager Tang said makes sense!" The people below echoed.

Shi Xunfei standing next to him felt depressed. He had only been there for two days, and he had to take all the blame?

"Okay, I'm asking you what to do, not asking you to decide the responsibility. If the scout flag is really as you said, I think I'll withdraw one flag, and all intelligence warnings will be the responsibility of each flag!"

Lu Yansheng's words instantly quieted the chattering crowd.

You can pass the buck, but you cannot take on the responsibility you have pushed away.
