"No problem, you can rest assured." Lu Bang smiled as he saw the old man off.
In fact, he said this to everyone, but what exactly to do? Ultimately, it still had to follow the rules.
After seeing off the old man, Lu Bang returned to the mirror, "Let’s see where that young man is now."
He was looking at Zhao Xing.
Ever since Zhao Xing used a spell to cause chaos on the Earth Fire Plain, making it difficult for many newcomers, Zuo Zizhi and Lu Bang had been keeping an eye on Zhao Xing.
"After leaving the Earth Fire Plain, he headed towards the Ten Thousand Leich." Zuo Zizhi pointed and said, "But he’s unlucky, he ran into Li Feng and the others."
"Oh?" Lu Bang immediately looked at the Earth Mirror Instrument. He knew Li Feng. Among the first batch selected by the Tiger Flood Dragon Army, Li Feng was quite outstanding.
As one of the first to arrive, Li Feng had been waiting outside the Grotto Heaven for over a month.
The spells exchanged between the Ministers of Agriculture always caused quite a stir, and while Li Feng was outside, he also accepted challenges from several batches of newcomers.
Li Feng had many victories, losing only five times.
Ultimately, among the Tiger Flood Dragon Army’s new recruits, Li Feng ranked sixth.
"There are three others who are also good." Zuo Zizhi held a booklet and said, "Yu Chunwu chosen by the Fierce Sun Army, He Yu, and Peng Ran chosen by the Xuanjia Army."
"Hmm." Lu Bang nodded slightly. However, in his view, the three Zuo Zizhi mentioned were merely decent. Among those who caught his eye, Li Feng was one, and now there was also Zhao Xing.
"What’s going on, their speed has slowed down." Zuo Zizhi suddenly looked at the screen. "It looks like they are shouting something."
"Let me adjust the sound." Lu Bang was also curious. Shortly, after his adjustments, sounds came from the Earth Mirror Instrument.
"Li Feng, you’ve gone too far!"
"Li Feng, didn’t you say you don’t know Yin Wind Skill?"
Listening to the sounds and watching the screen, Lu Bang’s face became quite expressive.
He had naturally noticed Zhao Xing’s subtle actions earlier. At first, they were quite discreet, but an observer could quickly figure out the whole story.
Because Zhao Xing didn’t know Li Feng at all, he hadn’t stayed outside the camp for even two hours, so everything Zhao Xing said was deliberate, pushing Yu Chunwu and the other three to attack Li Feng.
"Quite insidious, indeed." Zuo Zizhi laughed. He also noticed that the Yin Wind was cast by Zhao Xing. "If he were to fight straightforwardly, he would probably have a hard time dealing with Yu Chunwu alone. After all, he doesn’t have experience as a Military Minister of Agriculture officer."
"But with this disturbance, he has become the most advantageous one."
"How can you call that insidious?" Lu Bang said, "Fifteen people, under such circumstances, for him to gain the upper hand, that’s called being smart."
"It is quite smart." Zuo Zizhi nodded, "It’s just that Li Feng got somewhat wronged. Unjustly caught in Zhao Xing’s trap, he can’t explain his way out of it."
"Haha, it is quite unfair." Lu Bang laughed heartily after watching, "If it were me, I’d also wish to chop off Zhao Xing’s head."
"Look, Li Feng has realized who the troublemaker is, but that young man has already slipped away."
In the valley, hearing the angry roars from behind, Zhao Xing ran even faster.
"I don’t even know what kind of wrong Li Feng did. Just a little push, and so many people surrounded him."
Zhao Xing had arrived relatively late at the Ten Suns Cave Heaven’s camp. He knew the military selection often started early.
After all, civil officials waited until spring to appoint positions, but military selections, academies, and Daoist academies often started before the new year.
"Maybe he came early and made a name for himself outside the camp?" Zhao Xing pondered over what the few people had said before, thinking it’s likely.
"He was too high-profile, drawing envy."
"However, being too low-profile isn’t good either. The military loves to compete. If you are too low-key, people would think you are weak and everyone would want to step on you."
Military officials were different from civil servants. Back in Gucheng, people like Tang Wanchun, Gao Linong, and Pang Yuan were often unfriendly towards him and would be sarcastic towards Xue Wenzhong.
But ultimately, as civil officials, the overall atmosphere was more respectful and restrained. The military was different.
"You have to be high-profile when necessary, like when you can earn rewards, but usually, stay low-key and don’t always appear in front of people."
"Fight for benefits and advantages. When fighting, try to ambush time. Blind fighting and fights out of spite are to be avoided." Zhao Xing set principles for himself for his actions in the Ten Suns Cave Heaven.
A clap of thunder startled Zhao Xing awake, and he immediately stopped thinking about Li Feng, focusing instead on navigating the Ten Thousand Leich.
