Guiding Evolution
Dongying Prefecture!
After leaving Chaowen City, Qin Yan led his troops south and soon arrived at Red Ridge Town!
Upon receiving the news, Ye Yingshan burst into laughter.
"That kid got here quickly."
The Battle of Chaowen City made the world remember Qin Yan once again!
In just two or three months, he killed Taiping Army generals and has now been granted the title of Earl.
Even Ye Yingshan wouldn't dare treat Qin Yan as a junior; he had to treat him as an equal.
"It's General Qin!"
The soldiers who had once followed Qin Yan immediately gathered around excitedly.
"General Qin is back."
Shouts rang out in the military camp.
Upon hearing this, Tang Xianzong was the first to rush over, his expression excited as he saluted Qin Yan: "General, you've finally returned! The brothers have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Haha, Tang Xianzong is not bad, he's even managed to get a deputy commander position now!"
Qin Yan smiled knowingly upon seeing an acquaintance and couldn't help but tease the person in front of him.
"It's all thanks to the general."
Tang Xianzong immediately grinned sheepishly, "Li Fu is more capable; he's already been promoted to commander!"
Tang Xianzong stepped forward and personally led Qin Yan's horse, saying, "Li Fu is currently patrolling the area with his men and won't be back for a while."
"Yeah, Li Fu has finally made it."
Qin Yan nodded upon hearing this. When Li Fu first followed him, he was constantly ostracized by his colleagues.
He risked his life to earn a merit in the battle.
It's no surprise that he has achieved what he has today.
"That Du Changfeng...!"
Qin Yan suddenly thought of asking!
"Du Changfeng, humph... This guy has benefited from following the general and has now become Subordinate Fourth Rank Martial Guard General."
This guy has been on our side for a long time.
Tang Xianzong sounded somewhat angry, suggesting that some conflict had occurred earlier.
Qin Yan simply nodded in response.
They entered the military tent.
Generals Ye Yingshan and others were already waiting there. "We haven't even had a chance to congratulate General Qin on being awarded the title of Earl in one battle!"
Ye Yingshan laughed heartily, especially pleased to see Qin Yan.
This was a top-tier general he desperately wanted, especially for siege warfare where he was incredibly fierce.
It can be called the most effective weapon for breaching a city.
General Ye!
Qin Yan smiled and cupped his hands in greeting; the two had a very pleasant time working together.
There is currently no fighting in Red Ridge Town!
Ye Yingshan and others hosted a welcome banquet for Qin Yan, which lasted until late at night.
Qin Yan got everyone drunk.
His body is now so robust that alcohol simply cannot get him drunk.
It was digested within a few breaths after entering the stomach!
"General!"
Upon returning, Li Fu immediately knelt on one knee when he saw Qin Yan again.
I want to continue following you.
Li Fu's expression was serious. "Without the general's kindness in promoting me, Li Fu would not have achieved my current success."
"I've returned this time for you all!"
Qin Yan patted Li Fu on the shoulder and laughed.
"That's wonderful! Finally, I can fight alongside the general again."
Li Fu grinned broadly, "General, I now have five hundred light cavalry under my command, most of whom were the ones who followed you in the beginning."
"General, we still don't have enough men."
Han Chen whispered from the side, "The Red Shadow Army has a full strength of three thousand men; we must replenish our ranks as soon as possible."
"No rush! I've already made arrangements for the people..."
Qin Yan said earnestly.
Xiao Mu has been killed!
Lang Futian's northward advance strategy suffered a setback, and his remaining troops could only retreat to a corner!
Prevent the Great Li Army from launching a counterattack!
Even the Taiping Army's main military strength was concentrated in the south!
Heavenly King Hong and Zuo Wenqing's army conquered cities and territories all the way in the south!
They practically ravaged the entire southeastern part of the Great Li Dynasty!
Their influence spans two states!
Pengzhou, Lizhou!
Lizhou, in particular, is the birthplace of the current Great Li royal family, and many members of the royal family were massacred by the Taiping Army.
All family property was confiscated.
Hongjia Emperor is now in a terrible predicament, fearing that these thieves will desecrate his ancestral graves.
Heavenly King Hong has no intention of making any moves regarding the ancestral lands of the Great Li Dynasty for the time being.
After all, if the royal family's ancestral tombs were desecrated, they would inevitably suffer even more frenzied retaliation.
Even if they were to desecrate the Xia Li royal family's ancestral tombs, it would definitely not be now.
Perhaps one day when the Taiping Army suffers a major defeat, Heavenly King Hong might consider scattering the ancestral graves of the Xia Li royal family to the winds!
Qin Yan was also busy during this time, constantly training the Red Shadow Army, after all, they were handpicked people.
Ultimately, their compatibility was somewhat lacking.
These people who come from the Martial Hall possess extremely high military skills.
Now he has been demoted by Qin Yan and become a junior officer.
Completely transform this army and enhance the soldiers' military capabilities!
Qin Yan was also trying something else.
The Magnetic Field he emits can capture the primordial energy between heaven and earth.
They gathered around him at an extremely fast speed.
The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi is a necessary condition for an ordinary person to advance to become a martial artist.
It absorbs the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, enhancing qi and blood.
Qin Yan wants to build a cavalry force composed entirely of warriors!
Before this, Qin Yan conducted experiments on some wild animals!
Look at the wild rabbit in the bamboo cage!
With one hand on the other person, Qin Yan began to absorb the primordial energy between heaven and earth.
This power is continuously poured into the rabbit's body, cleansing its flesh with the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi!
Qin Yan discovered that these rabbits did not become as powerful as he had imagined, thus failing to awaken as spirit beasts.
Instead, their bodies collapsed, and they died a very tragic death.
"Their intelligence is too low to actively receive the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi; simply infusing it is too inefficient."
Qin Yan tried dozens of times, but only a handful of the rabbits actually survived and became stronger!
Like the Black Cat he kept, it imitated Qin Yan's breathing technique and learned to circulate the energy on its own.
"Breathing technique!"
Qin Yan's eyes lit up as he thought of something!
"Perhaps I can mimic the energy fluctuations created by breathing techniques!"
This process may be quite troublesome, but its effects may be worth trying.
He soon arrived at the stables.
The warhorse he Riding was a gift from the emperor; it was an exceptionally fine and rare steed!
Its entire body was a deep reddish-brown, its fur glossy and shiny, and its body was incredibly robust!
Especially those eyes, which seemed to possess a certain intelligence.
"Chilu!"
Qin Yan stroked the other's soft fur. "If you can understand me, nod."
Chilu tilted his head, snorted, and nodded.
Seeing this, Qin Yan smiled immediately, "Carefully feel my breathing."
As he spoke, a hand was already on the other person's body.
The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi was restrained by Qin Yan and merged into the other's body at a special frequency!
A hint of surprise flashed in Chilu's dark pupils; it could sense a peculiar energy fluctuating within its body.
And the breathing method demonstrated by Qin Yan.
Soon, its breathing rate aligned with the fluctuating Heaven and Earth Origin Qi within its body.
It is guiding the primordial energy of heaven and earth to integrate into itself.
"It's done! This general has succeeded!"
Qin Yan burst into laughter as he guided the mortal beast through the process of evolving into a spirit beast.
