The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

The next day, the vernal equinox, Mao hour three quarters. In the guest house of Shiliting, all the secret guards were ordered to leave. Xiao Yuhan and Chen Zixu led their horses and left Shiliting without letting anyone see them off.

At the end of the morning, ox carts pulling goods came one after another outside the guest house. Ye Hong was busy directing a large number of people to load and unload the goods. Zhang Erlang led a few people to take down the sign of the guest house, and a large bluestone with the words "White Tiger Pavilion" was pulled to him on an ox cart.

At this time, Xiao Yuhan and Chen Zixu were almost arriving at Sizhou City. The scene here is peaceful and peaceful, with farmers working in the fields. If it weren't for the checkpoints and patrolling soldiers, they wouldn't be able to feel the atmosphere of war.

The two took a short rest in Sibeiyi. Xiao Yuhan was chewing cakes in the guest room and asked Chen Zixu: "Sister Zixu, have you been to Jiankang City?"

"I've been there a few times. Some military supplies are in short supply in Xuzhou, so I can only go to Jiankangfang City to have a look." Chen Zixu is much more elegant than Xiao Yuhan. Although he is not as shy as ordinary women, he is not as shy as others. Xiao Yuhan ate half of the cake in one mouthful.

"I feel that after passing Xiapi, the people are living and working in peace and contentment, and they can't feel the breath of war." After Xiao Yuhan swallowed half of the cake in his mouth, he stuffed the half of the cake in his hand into his mouth.

Chen Zixu had long been accustomed to Chen Subaru's eating style. She calmly pushed the rice porridge to Xiao Yuhan's hand and said: "Wen Ruo, what you see may not be the truth. People always have to live. As long as farmers depend on the ground for food, they They have to farm. The price they have to pay for farming here cannot be seen on the surface. The court has to collect taxes, the localities have to collect rent, the sect has to collect people, and the strongman has to collect protection fees. These are what we passers-by can see. This place is close to Jiankang City and the emperor. The Jianghu sects are relatively unified, and the things that the people need to offer are not enough to make most people unable to survive. But far away from the imperial power, officials, bandits, Jianghu sects, and monk sects The sects and the casual cultivators and rangers fight and plunder resources without caring about the lives of the people. Do you really think that the refugees outside Xiapi City are all caused by the invasion of strange demons?"

"Sister Zixu, why do you think so much? Before I left Chenjiapu, you couldn't say these words at that time!"

"People will change. There are many mortals in my guerrilla camp, and the ones we face the most are mortals. You don't know, I was already undergoing training before joining the Xuanwu Army in the first year of Taihe. After you left the Chen family In front of the fort, I was already carrying out the Xuanwu Army selection task assigned by my adoptive father. Both Kewei and I only received a C-level rating. For the sake of my adoptive father’s face, we were barely able to command a battalion of guerrillas. We completed the tasks assigned by our family. , we can get the resources of the family to further improve our cultivation, so we can only work hard to complete the task. The more tasks are completed, the more we will see, and the ideas will change."

Chen Zixu briefly recalled the past, then put his elbows on the table and supported his chin with the back of his hands as he watched Xiao Yuhan stuffing cakes into her mouth.

"Oh! How much resources can your guerrilla generals get from the family?"

"The military resources of a battalion will be distributed to the general of the battalion, which is one thousand low-grade spiritual stones per year. If you can successfully complete 10 ordinary family tasks, you can get an additional 100 medium-grade spiritual stones. Complete the first-level family tasks. I got the family’s secret flying magic weapon, 500 medium-grade spiritual stones, and a family-designated magic weapon.”

Xiao Yuhan's eyes lit up and she was so excited that she wanted to stuff the cake into her mouth. When Chen Zixu stopped her, she realized that she hadn't swallowed the cake yet. She quickly drank it with the rice porridge at hand and asked: "There are so many resources, what about that?" Sister Zixu, how many tasks have you completed?"

Chen Zixu silently added hot water to Xiao Yuhan's porridge bowl. He continued to hold his chin and looked at her and said, "It's not much. I have only been in office for a year and I have been training troops. It will be difficult to complete 10 missions. I am assisting you." This is the first first-class mission I want to complete, otherwise I wouldn’t know what the reward is for a first-class mission.”

"Oh? How did the mission come about?"

"The family will have a special envoy to deliver the message. Generally, the deadline for completing an ordinary task is one month. After completing an ordinary task, the next task will be available within half a month at most. The first-class task I took is to assist you in taking charge of the White Tiger Hall. There is no task deadline, so you can work with me. We will carry out the ordinary tasks together, and this ordinary task is to escort you to Jiankang City."

"Oh, in addition to ordinary tasks and first-class tasks, are there any other task levels?"

"Yes, there are two levels, B and C. But I heard from Sister Jiao'er that these are only human-character tasks that belong to the foundation-building stage. There are also sky-character tasks and earth-character tasks, which are not accessible to our level of cultivation. .”

"By the way, Sister Zixu, if all your guerrillas go on missions, will there be no one left to do anything?"

When Chen Zixu heard Xiao Yuhan's words, he did not reply immediately. Instead, he looked at her sweetly eating the cake for a while before saying, "No, only family members who have received the inheritance bracelet can perform family tasks." qualifications."

Xiao Yuhan heard this and quickly drank a mouthful of porridge to calm down her shock, thinking: Do I also have to do the task? The system hasn't been restored yet, so it's a bit dangerous. How about I return this teleportation bracelet? I don’t have many things to store. Besides, I don’t dare to put valuables in the treasure house. I don’t know who will own them in the future.

Seeing Xiao Yuhan's cute look with a nervous look on her face, Chen Zixu smiled even sweeter. She said, "Wenruo, why are you nervous? Your bracelet was given to you privately by Sister Jiao'er. She just doesn't care about it. So I didn’t inform the family, the family won’t know about it in the short term, and there won’t be any tasks for you, don’t worry.”

"Sister Zixu, will it be okay for Sister Jiao'er to do this?"

When Chen Zixu heard this question, her sweet smile gradually disappeared and she fell into a tangled state. She turned to look out the window and said in a melancholy tone: "Wen Ruo, you know what it means to be the Lord of Qinglong Castle. What?"

Xiao Yuhan felt that the person in charge of the entire family's treasure trove would naturally not be light in weight. But Chen Zixu did not continue talking until the two of them finished eating the 24 cakes, five plates of vegetables, and two bowls of rice porridge on the table.

"What does it mean to be the Lord of Qinglong Castle?" Xiao Yuhan silently pondered this sentence in her heart, but she still couldn't figure it out. She thought: Is it a higher status than I thought? No wonder Sister Jiaoer has such a strong aura now. When they first met Zixu and Kewei, they respected the eldest sister very much. If the eldest sister hadn't been so kind, would they have always been like that? Does Sister Jiaoer have such a high status now? Isn’t he already surpassing his uncle? Could it be that I hugged a thigh invisibly?
