Chapter 29: The Ancient People and the Walkie-Talkie's First Intimate Contact

  Li Zhe has almost reached the time for his upgrade. This is already his ninth trip to the Three Kingdoms, and when he returns next time, he will become the long-awaited third-level space smuggler, with a cargo capacity of 400 kilograms and a maximum stay of 96 hours, which is quite impressive.

  Silently packing the things to bring: 20 sets of Violent Dragon 2008 Jungle Crossbow and 100 sets of walkie-talkies for emergency replenishment, as well as spare batteries. Then, looking seriously at himself in the mirror, Li Zhe found that the former tenderness between his eyebrows was gradually disappearing, replaced by a growing sense of calmness and maturity.

  Li Zhe returned to the Three Kingdoms without much nostalgia.

  The crossbow of 2008 Jungle Archery and the early Li Zhe's purchase are different. This crossbow is bigger, heavier, with a longer range, can reach an effective distance of one hundred and thirty meters, and has a significant improvement in accuracy. As a military crossbow in the Three Kingdoms period, it is fully qualified, and its range can even be compared to the strong bow in the hands of the great general.

  Li Zhe now has two elite troops under his command, one of which is the Guard Corps. After a period of training, both their equipment and combat effectiveness are quite good, with a total strength of 1,000 men, enough to intimidate the neighboring regions.

  Li Zhe organized the guards into two battalions, each battalion having five squads of one hundred men, all selected and trained as gunners. Since these people had a foundation in formation training, the long spear phalanx they formed was still quite impressive. With Zhao Yun's personal guidance, their individual marksmanship was also not bad.

  With generally better nutritional conditions and steel gun weapons, it can already be considered a crack in this era.

  And the other one is Li Zhe's personal guard team, which is equivalent to the training standard of special forces in ancient times. The training is better, the quality is stronger, and the combat will is even more fierce! And Li Zhe also equipped them with the strongest equipment.

  Just like a treasured sword, the steel knife is not to be mentioned, but what's even more formidable are crossbow arrows. Whether it's the early miscellaneous steel plate crossbow or the current Jungle Crossbow, they are all instruments of great power that make the current lords and nobles sigh with envy.

  Li Zhe's personal guard battalion had already been equipped with over a hundred of these deadly devices, and after intense daily training, their physical conditioning and meat-based diet made them a truly formidable force. Even if they were to encounter the elite Tiger and Leopard Riders of this era, they would likely be able to put up a good fight.

  In addition, based on the experience of predecessors, even in the cold winter now, Li Zhe tries to let everyone participate in activities every day. Even if it consumes a lot of food, he wants the refugees to get better exercise. Every day, they cut wood, chop firewood, collect firewood and store a large amount of high-quality logs.

  The remaining time was also used to organize sports activities for the refugees, conducting basic formation training and laying a solid foundation for establishing a reserve system in the future.

  It must be said that formation training is indeed a good thing, which can greatly cultivate people's sense of discipline and collective honor. Being in a phalanx, one combines the insignificance of oneself with the strictness of the entire team at all times, bringing spiritual gains far greater than its physical exercise.

  The unity and discipline of the refugees were gradually cultivated in such collective labor and group activities, while the team training brought the most basic military quality and collective cooperation to the refugees. The sense of identity of the refugees towards Sanli Village became stronger and stronger, this centripetal force and vigorous spirit was constantly impacting Zhao Yun and the 1,000 soldiers sent by Liu Bei.

  Li Zhe returned and immediately gathered everyone. These subordinates came one after another, standing in the hall, rubbing their fists and palms, eagerly waiting for Li Zhe to speak. These guys had obviously become familiar with Li Zhe's unpredictable behavior and had figured out the underlying rules.

  Every time Li Zhe disappeared and reappeared, there would be some unexpected surprises. This time, the master returned with a lot of good things, that's what these people thought in their hearts.

  Li Zhe smiled and didn't bother to explain, directly taking out the communication device. Everyone looked at it in confusion - this black thing was quite ugly and didn't look like anything special. What is this thing? For a moment, everyone was puzzled.

  Li Zhe smiled and said to everyone:

  "Haven't you all heard of the legend of the 'Thousand Mile Eye' and the 'Wind-Listening Ear'?"

  Everyone was stunned and had not reacted yet, when Su Wu, the reckless ghost, rushed to answer:

  "Master! I've heard of it, I've heard of it. When I was young, the elderly told me that in ancient times, there were some immortals who possessed extraordinary skills. Some could see thousands of miles away with clarity, while others could use their ears to hear events happening far beyond their surroundings. Both of these extraordinary skills are truly remarkable. Could it be that you possess such a skill, Master?"

  Li Zhe smiled and said with some disdain:

  "This little magic trick, what's so special about it? Not only can I use it myself, but I can also teach all of you to use it."

  As soon as the words were spoken, a loud noise erupted in the hall, and everyone was thrown into chaos. Thousand-mile Eye! Wind-Listening Ear! This magical technique, Master actually didn't think it was strange, but instead boasted that anyone could learn it? Although these people had long suspected the master's divine powers and secretly speculated about them, even so, their reactions were still somewhat shocked and amazed.

  This guy! Under the shock, he couldn't help but forget the usual etiquette, and his shocked, suspicious, and tense reactions all came out at once. The hall was filled with whispers, and in an instant, it became a chaotic mess.

  Li Zhe shook his head, feeling quite helpless. Alas! The quality of these subordinates was really too poor. Although they showed no disrespect to him, their basic breeding left much to be desired. Before he had even finished speaking, they had already lost control of themselves. If they were officials from a scholarly background, it would have been impossible for things to degenerate to this point.

  Thinking so, Li Zhe unconsciously looked at Zhao Yun, who was the only one that stood out in the hall. At this time, Zhao Yun had already gained Li Zhe's tacit approval and found his own position within the small group. In usual times, when it came to major events within the small circle, everyone would let him participate. At this moment, he was calm and collected, standing alone on one side, looking especially dignified and composed, unruffled by honor or glory. This person's character is indeed good! Famous people are indeed famous people! Li Zhe couldn't help but feel a little admiration.

  "Zi Long! Am I speaking nonsense? Can you believe it?"

  Zhao Yun was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reacted and replied respectfully:

  "Since you've said so, there must be a deeper meaning behind it. Whether I believe it or not doesn't matter."

  Li Zhe smiled, looking at this remark, indeed, Yun Ge's quality is still high! What is called the demeanor of a great general, this is the demeanor of a great general! Among these people under his command, just by comparing them like this, Zhao Yun's IQ has risen, and the difference in quality between these people is really too obvious.

  "Alright! Alright! Listen to me!" The crowd fell silent at once.

  "My technique is not something that I, as an immortal, can use on my own, but rather it relies on the divine artifact of the immortal family. Yes, it's this thing in my hand! The divine artifact that I've created can be used by anyone if you follow my instructions. This thing is called the Wind-Listening Ear, and although its effect isn't as powerful as the Ear that Listens to a Thousand Miles, it still has a considerable effect! With this device, everyone within a range of dozens of miles can communicate with each other."

  It turned out to be the case, and everyone listened, only then did they believe that their master was a fairy born, skilled in making all kinds of fairy artifacts. Except for Zhao Yun, who was deeply influenced by Confucian education, no one else had any doubts, and from time to time, he would take out some useful fairy artifacts for everyone to enjoy, and such kindness was remembered in everyone's heart.

  Nowadays, this master of mine is so bold and daring, he has even created divine artifacts that can be used by ordinary people like us, who are nothing but commoners. Such kindness is truly greater than the heavens and deeper than the seas! Not to mention other things, just speaking of our own master's divine status in heaven, it must be incredibly high!

  Let's not mention what everyone was thinking in private for now. Li Zhe put batteries into the walkie-talkies and had his subordinates try them out one by one. As soon as they tried, another commotion broke out - the sound really came out of this magical device! What a situation! For these ancient people, it was another astonishing discovery.

  P.S: Sent it earlier, so everyone doesn't have to wait anxiously!
