Two days later.

A group of people who were tired of traveling arrived in Hyunqing City by taking a rail locomotive + long-distance bus.

After getting off the car, this group of people unfurled a flag with a huge word "Mu" painted on it. When someone asked, the leader raised his head and said: We are the Mu family army!

That Mu family?

Among the top 100 families in Wancheng Kingdom, there are three Mu families. Could this be one of them?

"We are the Mu family of Xingtang City..." The leader's voice trailed off, obviously lacking in confidence.

"Xingtang City... the Mu family where Fairy Mu lives, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm glad to meet you!" The passers-by didn't laugh, but instead their eyes lit up and they got close to each other.

Especially when they learned that the leader, Mu Zhenquan, was the father of Fairy Na Mu, many people praised him and called him the "national father-in-law."

Mu Zhenquan smiled and nodded, feeling quite proud that his precious daughter had indeed given him many faces.

The team walked to the gate of Hyunqing City.

A pretty girl in a white dress walked over quickly. After seeing the leader, she muttered: "Dad, you are too slow. We agreed to arrive on the 25th, why is it so late?" It only took four or five days to arrive, and I’ve been staying at Bai’s house for several days, how embarrassing it is.”

It was Mu Feiyan who spoke. She had made an appointment with her father Mu Zhenquan to arrive at Hyun Qing City at the same time on the 25th. However, she arrived first on a Royal Airliner, and the Mu family regiment, which had set off five days in advance, was on the way. It took more than ten days.

"My dear daughter, you don't know how congested the roads are. It's hard to buy train tickets. Passenger cars are directly snatched away and the price is increased tenfold. You have to know that thousands of legions across the country are rushing here. "

Mu Zhenquan, who was wearing a leather armor uniform, said that after more than ten days of traveling and scrambling for tickets, he had lost a lot of weight.

"Uncle Mu, dear friends, our Bai family has prepared guest rooms and banquets. Follow me into the city and settle down quickly." Zhou Ming, who came with him to greet him, raised his hands and said to Mu Zhenquan.

"well!"

Mu Zhenquan's eyes lit up and he looked at him with great satisfaction. As the Bai family, the controlling family in Hyun Qingcheng, it was great to be taken care of by the Bai family.

Zhou Ming nodded, walked in front, walked through several streets, and brought the Mu family army to the Bai Mansion.

In front of the gate of Baifu.

Zhou Ming's parents, as well as the old man, all greeted him at the door. The ceremony was quite solemn. Mu Zhenquan was so flattered that he even raised his hands and said, "I am not worthy of receiving this welcome. I am not worthy of it."

"Deserved, deserving."

The old man welcomed them in with a smile.

Zhou Ming's parents looked at Mu Feiyan with smiles and eager eyes, whispering to each other in private, which made Mu Feiyan blush and lower her head to look at the road.

Today's Baifu, after many expansions and reconstructions over the years, has become an area of ​​2,000 acres, with 3,000 rooms and halls, and can accommodate up to 10,000 people. The buildings inside are magnificent and exquisite, with a reasonable layout. The flowerbeds, rockery and ponds are arranged in an orderly manner, which is luxurious and elegant, and has deep connotation, making life comfortable.

The White Mansion is divided into two courtyards: the inner courtyard is for the nobles, and the outer courtyard is for the servants. In order to accommodate the Mu family army, the White Mansion set aside several large villas in the outer courtyard, and asked the housekeeper to arrange thousands of soldiers there, and Excellent food is prepared.

In addition, a high-end villa was set up in the inner courtyard, and Mu Feiyan, Mu Zhenquan and several close relatives of the Mu family were arranged to live there. Ten servants were sent to serve them, and the hospitality was very comprehensive.

Mu Zhenquan was very satisfied and settled down quickly.

…

Two days later.

In the martial arts arena in the outer courtyard of Baifu.

In the ten-acre playground.

The assembled Mu family's army formed a queue. After counting, all members of this thousand-man army were present.

Standing on the reviewing stand, Zhou Ming took a good look.

Take a look at the actual condition of this army, which was built with 20 million spirit coins and used up all the Mu family's liquidity.

Shake his head.

He shook his head repeatedly.

There was a four-word evaluation in my heart: a rabble.

Of course, this is due to Zhou Ming's excessive demands. In the eyes of others, this legion can be regarded as "elite".

The proportion of monks accounts for 1/3.

Everyone has a set of shining armor.

The accompanying sword is very sharp.

The divine arm crossbow on the back and the Lingyuan pistol on the waist are all terrifyingly powerful mid- and short-range projectile weapons.

The soldiers were all strong and strong men with sharp and sharp eyes. In terms of discipline, judging from the relatively straight queue, they were pretty good.

Pulling it to Nanyuanzhou and destroying a big city is basically no problem.

"Not bad!"

“The overall quality is very good.”

"He has the strength to fight."

The old man and several elders nodded and praised him one after another.

Mu Zhenquan was very happy after hearing this, with a sense of accomplishment on his face.

But a clear voice sounded:

"This legion looks good, but among the many civilian legions, it is at the bottom and has no chance of getting the quota for expedition."

who?

Mu Zhenquan and several senior members of the Mu family were startled and turned to look.

It turned out that Bai Feiyang, the young master of the Bai family, was speaking.

Everyone in the Bai family also looked at him, and someone whispered: "Feiyang, don't say it so bluntly."

"Bai...Master Bai, how do you say this? Please give me some advice."

Mu Zhenquan was not angry at all. He humbly asked him for advice. There was a layer of gloom in his heart. If he couldn't even get the expedition quota, not to mention the benefits, wouldn't all the 20 million he invested have been in vain?

This is the most serious problem.

"There are three reasons."

Zhou Ming cracked his fingers and began to say: "First of all, regarding the ratio of monks, the ratio stipulated by the state must not be less than one-third. Your Mu family army has just met this standard, but don't think that other civilian armies have this ratio as well. According to My Bai family has observed that among the hundreds of civilian legions that have arrived in Hyun Qing City, the proportion of monks generally exceeds 40%, and most of them exceed 50%. There are even more than a dozen civilian legions, all composed of monks, and the proportion is 100%."

Boom~

Mu Zhenquan and others were taken aback, and their faces turned extremely pale.

"This... 100%, to hire a monk, you have to pay at least 30,000 spiritual coins for settling in. If a thousand people are all monks, how much money will my Mu family have to pay?"

Mu Zhenquan felt a sense of despair. Now that the value of monks had soared, it was becoming more and more difficult to hire. Even if he increased the proportion of monks in the Mu family army to 50%, it would still cost at least tens of millions of spiritual coins.

"Secondly, it's equipment."

Zhou Ming continued: "The equipment of the Mu family legion is not bad, and the armor, crossbows, and swords are all unified. This is worthy of praise, but compared with other civilian legions, your armor defense is the worst. Yes, the crossbows are just usable, the swords are the cheapest among bargains, and the number of Lingyuan pistols is also very small... Poor equipment will be the first impression the jury has on the Mu Family Legion."

His words made a middle-aged man next to Mu Zhenshen look helpless. He was the commander of the Mu Family Legion and had served in the National Defense Force for ten years. He knew the importance of unifying equipment standards. However, unifying the standards of junk equipment , it is still inferior to the inconsistent standard of sophisticated equipment.

Because equipment is an important part of combat effectiveness.

Mu Zhenquan was speechless and felt bitter in his mouth. He also wanted to get some good equipment, but the Mu family had no money.

“In the end, it’s discipline.”

Zhou Ming said: "The discipline of this legion seems to be okay, but it is only reflected in the short-term standing posture. As time goes by, the formation becomes a bit scattered. When the sun shines, you can hear some complaints, and the monks are not I am willing to stand with ordinary soldiers, with great contempt and disdain in my eyes. Ordinary soldiers have low morale and low self-esteem. It can be seen that there are internal problems in this legion. They seem to be in harmony but not in heart. Once put into the battlefield, things will be fine. , if you are in a little bit of adversity, many problems will be exposed immediately."

"So I still want to say something rude, this legion is just a bunch of rabble."

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, Mu Zhenquan and others lowered their heads.

His mouth moved, wanting to refute, but he swallowed it and reluctantly admitted: Master Bai was basically right.

"Then what should we do?"

Mu Zhenquan frowned, "If we can't even get the expedition quota, wouldn't the work of my Mu family these past two months have been in vain?"

Is a bankrupt investment of 20 million really going to waste?

"I do have a solution here, but I don't know if the Mu family is willing to accept it?" Zhou Ming said suddenly.

"Say it quickly!"

Mu Zhenquan asked quickly, as if he had grasped a straw.

"Both Bai and Mu are working together to create a new legion that can be shortlisted."

"In terms of the ratio of monks, the Bai family can send 300 elite monks to increase the ratio to 60%."

"In terms of equipment, the Bai family can spend money to buy the armor with the best defense, a sword that cuts stone like mud, and a Lingyuan pistol for every monk. In addition, they can provide one hundred sets of air defense equipment, and one hundred sets of air defense equipment. My Bai family can provide the Spirit Control Sword, a batch of elixirs, healing medicines, and logistics provisions."

Mu Zhenquan opened his eyes wide. Excluding the monks, the total value of the things the Bai family took out was at least 100 million spiritual coins.

This handwriting is really terrifying.

"With such cooperation, what do your Bai family want?"

He also realized that the Bai family were not philanthropists. They must have their own purposes and requirements for doing this.

"half."

Zhou Ming smiled slightly: "If the two companies cooperate, each will get half and the benefits will be shared equally. How about your Mu family not suffering a loss?"

In fact, Zhou Ming has had internal discussions with the family in the past few days and found that the Bai family will indeed lose a lot if they do not participate in this feast of swallowing up Nanyuan Continent. If they can get a partner to join the family and join the family, the restrictions can be waived. Eat fat.

Mu Zhenquan opened his eyes wide and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, half, half for each family, okay, that's fine!"

"The two families can cooperate!"

Any fool would agree to this kind of cooperation. The Mu family are not fools. How could they refuse something that could obviously take advantage of it?

Even the other members of the Mu family nodded, feeling that they could cooperate.

Zhou Ming smiled at the old man and the others, and things went smoothly beyond everyone's imagination.

but……

Even if the Bai family helps to increase the ratio of monks and solve the equipment problem, this legion still needs to undergo rigorous training and cultivate team spirit if it wants to get the expedition quota.

Build them into an elite army.

Zhou Ming decided to spend a few days personally on this job and practice them personally.
