Chapter 167 Situation
Everything has its pros and cons. Being an official has its advantages, but it also has its drawbacks. The drawback is that you have to have a meeting every morning. It's a bit like an emperor going to court. All the warriors have to be present and preside over the meeting. The chief will inform everyone about some important matters, and participants can also report to the chief special circumstances that occur within their jurisdiction.
Time was used to measure time at this time, but Wu Zhongyuan still used the hour system habitually. The time for the daily meeting was around four in the morning. The reason why it was so early was to deploy and arrange the day's work before dawn.
On a cold winter night, getting up after four o'clock was a huge challenge for Wu Zhongyuan. There was no alarm clock at this time, and he didn't sleep well all night. He was afraid of oversleeping, and he fell asleep in the end. If Arlo hadn't woken him up, he would have been late.
At this time, there was no such thing as a regular meeting. The correct name was a morning meeting. As the name suggests, it was a morning meeting.
There are more than thirty warriors in Daqiu. There is only one purple spirit master named Wu Qin, there are four blue spirit warriors including Wu Zhen, and the rest are all low-level warriors with red spiritual energy.
At this time, great emphasis is placed on level. Warriors of different levels have different seats. The warriors wearing red cloaks sit on square stools, the warriors wearing blue cloaks sit on round stools, and the seats of purple energy masters are It is a large chair with a backrest, and its style is somewhat similar to the later Taishi chair.
The higher the level, the closer the seat is to the front. The lower the level, the closer the seat is to the door. Wu Zhongyuan is the new cave god and the lowest level warrior. He sits on the right side of the door.
Wu Zhongyuan's appearance attracted everyone's attention, and suddenly there was a new face. Everyone couldn't help but look at him a few more times. In addition, they had heard about his "heroic deeds" yesterday, so they looked at him a few more times. A few glances.
Wu Zhongyuan was a little embarrassed, lowering his head and not looking at everyone.
Lowering his head represents an attitude of humility and restraint. Seeing him lower his head, people will dislike him less. If he holds his head high with his nostrils pointed upward, he can offend everyone in an instant.
Wu Qin is not in the city.
The meeting was hosted by Wu Zhen. The meeting lasted for about half an hour. Wu Zhen first introduced Wu Zhongyuan to everyone, and then made relevant arrangements for city defense and people's livelihood.
At the end of the meeting, Wu Zhongyuan returned to his residence with the Gaoxuan magic tablet given to him by Wu Zhen. The Bear Clan still has relatively strict control over Qi training methods. There are nine levels of Qi training. Each level has a magic tablet that records Qi training methods. Level warriors don’t know what high-level Qi training methods are like.
He originally wanted to go back to sleep, but Arlo and her grandma had already made breakfast.
Wu Zhongyuan did not have the concept of master and servant, so he invited the two of them to have dinner together, but the grandfather and grandson declined in fear. He invited them again and again, but they refused to come to the table.
Wu Zhongyuan had no choice but to eat it by himself, deliberately leaving some with the two of them.
There is a place in the city that is specifically responsible for delivering messages, called the post house, which is the predecessor of the post house. He is the chief of the post house. After taking office, he has to go over to say hello to his subordinates and arrange work.
The area of the posthouse was larger than he imagined, covering an area of seven or eight acres. Stables and birdhouses accounted for two-thirds of the total area, and the rest was a warehouse for storing grain and grass. Every official has an office, and so does he. Not only does he have an office but also a secretary, and he is also a female secretary. She is mainly responsible for recording the use of grain and grass, as well as information about horses and messenger birds.
There are more subordinates than he imagined. There are more than 20 people who hold many positions. They usually raise horses and birds. In emergencies, they will act as messengers and deliver messages to various cities.
It is said that when a new official takes office, there are three things to do. The main reason for setting fire is to establish prestige, but this step is redundant for him. First of all, warriors belong to the privileged class, and no ordinary tribesman dares to offend them. Secondly, everyone knew that he beat up Wu Shaoyong yesterday in Xicheng. He dared to beat up even warriors, and he had no taboo against ordinary people.
Wu Zhongyuan had no interest in official affairs, but he still symbolically flipped through the account books. At least he had to have a general understanding of the situation in the post, and he could not be ignorant of everything.
In modern times, in order to avoid suspicion, officials usually do not use secretaries of the opposite sex. However, he did not replace his female secretary. At this time, ordinary people were not very literate and could not be replaced easily. The most important thing is that this female secretary is a An aunt in her fifties.
With nothing to do, he went back to his residence to practice Qi behind closed doors. Although he had temporarily stabilized, his heart was not at ease. No one knew his true identity yet, but sooner or later he would be exposed. If his identity was exposed, There will be countless people who want to kill him. Without a cultivation level above Zi Qi, there is no way to protect themselves.
That night, it snowed heavily again, and it continued to snow for the next few days. On the fourth night, the urgent sound of gongs suddenly came from outside. Hearing the gongs, Wu Zhongyuan stood up and dressed eagerly. The sound of the gongs was his own. The sound coming from the west wall means that there is an enemy attack.
Wu Zhongyuan got dressed, and A Luo had already prepared his long bow and quiver. Wu Zhongyuan put his quiver on his back, grabbed his long bow and opened the door.
It was still snowing outside at this time, and other warriors in the city had also left their residences and moved eagerly toward the west wall. Rights and obligations are mutual. Warriors are respected and have many privileges, but they must step forward and take the lead at critical moments.
Wu Zhongyuan used his birth method and caught up with a young female warrior, "Pingsu, what happened?"
Before the other party answered, a miserable cry came from the city wall. At the same time, many huge white shadows rushed in from outside the city wall.
"No, it's a snow monster!" Wu Pingsu shouted loudly.
Wu Zhongyuan has never seen a snow monster, but he knows what a snow monster is. It is a white-haired giant ape that has become extinct in modern times. It is much larger than a human being. It wears hair and drinks blood and is ferocious in nature.
At this time, bows, arrows and swords were the standard equipment of every warrior, but the snow monster moved quickly and it was still snowing in the sky. Although Wu Zhongyuan nocked an arrow and opened his bow, he failed to lock the target, so he could only put away his bow and arrow and ran towards the direction of the snow monster.
The first to react were warriors of all levels. Warriors wearing cloaks of different colors rushed to the West City from all over. Behind them were a few ordinary soldiers who also rushed to support with weapons, but they did not have night vision and needed to carry weapons. Torch lighting.
While everyone rushed to the West City, a large number of snow monsters jumped into the city from outside the city. The city wall of Daqiu was more than five meters high, but it could not stop these three-meter-tall snow monsters at all. The snow monsters immediately rushed into the houses after entering the city. , killing the tribesmen, biting and devouring them. The roar of the snow monster was mixed with the miserable shouts of the tribesmen, which was harsh, shocking, and horrifying.
Although he knew what this kind of animal looked like, Wu Zhongyuan still took a breath after seeing their ugly appearance with his own eyes. These giant white-haired creatures had red faces, long canine teeth, and were chewing on the bodies of the Gangzi people in their huge mouths. The flesh and blood were torn off, but the tribesman had not yet died and was still screaming miserably.
At this time, the snow monsters had scattered everywhere, and everyone could only fight on their own. Wu Zhongyuan took the lead in firing his bow and shot an arrow at a nearby snow monster. The snow monster had rough skin and thick flesh. Although the arrow hit its abdomen, But it failed to penetrate deep into the internal organs.
The snow monster was in pain and threw the dying man in his hand towards Wu Zhongyuan. Wu Zhongyuan sidestepped and opened his bow again, shooting a second arrow at the charging snow monster.
This arrow shot at the snow monster's eye, which was a vulnerable part. This arrow directly blinded its left eye.
Although it blinded its eyes, it failed to stop its rushing momentum. The snow monster used all four legs to rush past, raised its claws in the air, and grabbed and swatted.
The snow monster was huge and coming at a fast and fierce pace. Wu Zhongyuan could only roll to avoid it. While dodging, he took out the arrow. After he stood firm, he immediately nocked an arrow and opened his bow, and shot the monster out of its right eye.
The snow monster was blinded, roaring furiously, charging left and right, slapping and beating randomly. It was surrounded by houses inhabited by tribesmen. The houses made of mud bricks could not withstand its collision and beating, and they collapsed one after another, hiding among them. Many tribesmen were killed or injured.
The snow monster was raging wildly, and Wu Zhongyuan could not get close, so he could only draw his bow again and shoot between his eyebrows.
Even though the snow monster was rushing around, the arrow still hit the center of its eyebrow. However, the skull of the creature was extremely hard, and the arrow was only embedded in the skull, failing to penetrate the bone.
No matter how powerful the arrow technique is, it can't hit the same part when the target is moving. After eagerly examining and weighing, Wu Zhongyuan took two arrows in his hand, shook his wrists and rotated his fingers, and fired with all his strength. The two arrows connected at the tail and flew out quickly. The front arrow hit, the back arrow pushed up, and then it shot into the skull, killing him.
After killing his opponent, Wu Zhongyuan looked around anxiously and saw that he was surrounded by such huge monsters, at least dozens of them. Their purpose of entering the city was very simple, just to catch people and eat them, and they started to attack after encountering resistance. Warriors and common warriors.
Their huge bodies and thick fur make them difficult to kill, and it is difficult for bows and arrows to hit their vital points. If you want to use a sword to kill, you must risk getting close. Since they are three meters high, attacking the neck can only He jumped up and was in mid-air. Before he could swing his sword, he was knocked away by them.
Although our side had a numerical advantage and had warriors charging, it did not hold any advantage. In fact, it was still at a serious disadvantage. This first bloody battle after returning was not a fight with humans, but a fight with wild beasts... …
