NOVEL NEXT Chapter 76 New Yuanling Test
Hu Hua, the lieutenant of Chongyu County, was indeed green-faced.
After learning that Zhou Yuan had arrested the collaborator of the Lianhuanwu bandits and seized the route map of the secret realm, he even began to doubt his life.
He was a warrior lieutenant who had been guarding Chongyu County for nearly six years. He had not solved the problem of bandits, and he had not discovered that there was a secret realm hidden in his jurisdiction.
This not only showed that he was incompetent, but also that he was unlucky.
These two deficiencies combined instantly broke the defense of Hu Hua, the lieutenant of Chongyu County.
"Zhou Qudu, have you sent a message to the Jing'an camp?"
"I have sent a message. After all, I am a general in the camp and I lead the soldiers in the camp.
If I don't inform the camp immediately when encountering such a major event, I will be suspected of embezzling the credit."
"Well, it's better to send it. Otherwise, I will feel unhappy and may do something rash."
Although Hu Hua, the lieutenant of Chongyu County, said 'it's better to send it', he was still full of regrets in his heart.
He even secretly complained why Zhou Yuan didn't tell him the truth in advance, and then the two led the troops to flatten the Zhaojiabao and shared the great credit for finding the secret realm.
What he thought in his heart was also the reason why Zhou Yuan acted decisively.
Zhou Yuan was not worried that the county lieutenant Hu Hua would have the idea of monopolizing the credit and take the opportunity to attack him.
He was worried that he could not help but shoot the rebellious county lieutenant Hu Hua to death with a few arrows, thus triggering a strict investigation by the Huaizhou camp.
"Zhou Qudu, maybe you are suitable for guarding a place. With your luck, you will definitely achieve great things."
The sigh of the county lieutenant Hu Hua was not a compliment. At this time, the lieutenant Jing'an, who was far away in the county government, also had similar feelings.
The lieutenant Jing'an never thought that he would receive two completely different documents in just one day.
The first one was sent by the county office, saying that someone reported that the Chongyu Zhao family colluded with the serial bandits, rampant in the countryside, and committed all kinds of evil.
Just as he was about to write a letter to order Zhou Yuan stationed in Chongyu to investigate and suppress the bandits, a document from Zhou Yuan also arrived.
This document was even more incredible, saying that all the bandits of Zhao's family in Chongyu had been detained, and a map of the hidden secrets had been seized.
After seeing this document, Captain Jing'an was stunned for a moment.
What's going on? Before I issued the military order to investigate, he had suppressed the bandits and even seized a secret.
What's this? It's the incompetence of County Lieutenant Hu Hua and the ability of Qu Du Zhou Yuan.
"It's troublesome. I just gave a gift to the governor, so that Zhou Yuan was promoted to Qu Du.
If he is promoted again, the governor of Huaizhou will probably think that I have attributed all the merits of the camp to Zhou Yuan."
Captain Jing'an also encountered this kind of meritorious service for the first time.
For a while, he didn't know how to report it. He was afraid that if he continued to report it truthfully, his superiors would think that he was brainless.
However, he finally chose to report the truth, hoping that his subordinates could become prominent and help each other as soon as possible.
When Captain Jing'an led the team to Chongyu County, Zhou Yuan and County Lieutenant Hu Hua had already determined the location of the secret realm and explored the internal situation.

[Recommended challenge level 8, recommended challenge number 10~20]
The unwilling County Lieutenant Hu Hua also pulled Zhou Yuan to try to attack, but he couldn't stand the beating of many Lianhuanwu bandits, so he gave up the plan to make merit.
"Zhou Qudu, County Lieutenant Hu, what is the situation in the secret realm."
"Report to the Captain, there are many demons in this secret realm, about two or three hundred, but their strength is not as good as the Yin Gui Secret Realm, which is suitable for warriors to attack quickly."
"Okay, let me go in and take a look."
The entrance to the Lianhuanwu Secret Realm is on a silt beach at the bottom of the river. The area of the silt beach is very small and is completely covered by the river, so it is very secretive.
After Captain Jing'an inspected it, he determined the value of the Lianhuanwu Secret Realm.
There are many weapons, boats and wooden camps connected to each other. There are fish and ducks in the water, and most of them are also piled with food and grass, which is very suitable for supplying a water camp.
"You have really made great contributions. When I report the details of the secret realm to the court, your rewards will be issued soon."
In the following days, the warriors of the state government arrived first. After confirming the authenticity of the secret realm, they formed a group to brush the Lianhuanwu copy.
Except for being flustered by the boss skill "Juyi" of the leader of Lianhuanwu, they successfully completed the attack on the secret realm.
When they opened the secret realm treasure chest and obtained 10 portions of Hemostasis Powder, 5 portions of Guiyuan Powder, and 1 portion of Lianhuan Daofa, they finally confirmed the value of the Lianhuanwu secret realm.
After that, a few days later, the Huaizhou camp sent rewards and promoted Zhou Yuan to the military Sima, and all his subordinates were promoted.
Just when Zhou Yuan thought that the matter was settled, the court's posthumous rewards came one after another.
"I heard that Zhou Yuan of Jing'an has fought countless bloody battles since he joined the army, and he is extremely brave.
The soldiers conquered Niutou Village, assisted in suppressing the ghost plague in Jing'an, fought fiercely in the Yin Ghost Secret Realm, and pacified the Lianhuanwu bandits and seized the secret realm route map.
With such accumulated merits, military rewards cannot show his power, and official rewards cannot show his martial arts.
I have specially given him the order to open the spirit and show his military honor. The official document has arrived. Set off as soon as possible to enter the capital to participate in the Xinyuan Spirit Test."
A document from the court completely confirmed Zhou Yuan's achievements.
It made him from an ordinary military officer to a local upstart.
However, there was a word in the court document that Zhou Yuan could not understand, that is, 'Xinyuan Spirit Test'.
"Captain, isn't the court spirit test held every four years? What does this Xinyuan Spirit Test mean?"
"Xinyuan is the first day of the new year after the end of the year. On that day, all the officials in the court will celebrate, and His Majesty will also take the opportunity to reward some meritorious people.
Therefore, the Xinyuan Spiritual Examination is different from the imperial public examination. The public examination is for recommendation, and the Xinyuan Spiritual Examination is for reward.
This is done to take care of those soldiers who have made special achievements. They can't wait for the public examination for spiritual enlightenment every four years. "
"There is a big difference between the two. Even if you fail the merit-rewarding spirit test, you can continue to participate in the spirit-opening public test.
In addition, the merit-rewarding spirit test has fewer participants and a higher success rate. "
Zhou Yuan understood when Jiang Ren, the lieutenant of Jing'an School, said this. The open spirit test is a unified recruitment and national competition, while the reward spirit test is a single move and a range competition.
Merit-rewarding spiritual trials that can narrow the scope of competition and increase competition opportunities are indeed more likely to succeed.
"How do I get there?"
"First change the official seal, and then go to the Huaizhou camp to meet other candidates. They will be led by the Huaizhou warrior generals and enter the capital together."
Because Zhou Yuan has accumulated too many merits, others need opportunities to make meritorious service more than him.
Therefore, the subsequent finishing work of Chongyu County was taken over by other generals.
When he returned to Jing'an Military Camp, all the leaders who received the news came to congratulate him, and Cai Cheng was even more upset.
“Brother, just a few months since you joined the camp, you have matched my nearly ten years of hard work.
Now you are also a military commander, and I am also a military commander, but you are still young and I am nearly middle-aged.
Besides, you might still be able to become a warrior, but I probably have no hope. Brother, I am really envious and jealous. "
"Brother Cai, if I am lucky enough to become a warrior, wouldn't you have one more person to rely on?
You and I are brothers, we should help each other and share the same blessings and virtues. "
"That's the truth. In fact, I have already thought about it.
It’s so tiring to work hard on your own. You and the Captain should work harder. I’m waiting for your support. "
