Start practicing archery

Chapter 175: Conferring a title and opening camp in Hongze

Chen Sanshi looked at it carefully.

Two kinds of skills are recorded on the parchment scroll.

One is the orthodox Shinto.

The other is evil Shinto.

The so-called orthodox Shinto is to gain power by believing in orthodox gods. As the level of cultivation improves, one can continuously acquire magical powers until one is infinitely close to the gods and may even become a god.

Disadvantages.

It is necessary to work for the gods you serve and protect the believers.

The black-robed monk was the one practicing the Shinto way.

As for the evil way.

Compared to the righteous way of Shinto which requires decades or even hundreds of years to practice, the evil way of Shinto allows mortals and evil gods to reach a deal in just ten years or even a few years.

One is to practice on your own, and the other is to ask the shrine to possess you and borrow the power of the gods for a short period of time.

obviously.

The prince is the latter.

There are many flaws in the evil way.

Basically, it has everything that orthodox Shintoism has, and it also has things that orthodox Shintoism doesn't have.

For example, to satisfy the gods’ preferences...

This was the case with the previous Tongtian River sacrifice.

Unless you can serve the evil god to your utmost satisfaction, the evil god's way will not be able to increase your lifespan.

"Lifespan..."

"Practicing immortal techniques can really increase your lifespan."

Chen Sanshi finished browsing quickly.

It is better not to practice this kind of incense and Shintoism.

Judging from the description above, in the end, you are still working for the gods.

It is better to wait until this matter is over and then study carefully the things left behind by Taizu Cao Xie.

Those should be the real immortal methods.

He first put away the things, dealt with the body and then left the scene quickly.

The chaos was completely quelled until dawn.

Most of the high-ranking military generals of the Prince's Faction died that night, and all the civil officials were detained and awaiting their fate. A few escaped and a city-wide manhunt was launched.

the next morning.

The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department announced the matter to the public and gave a characterization of the matter.

The Incense God Cult used magic to control the prince, disrupted the government, and intended to rebel and overthrow the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor, Emperor Wanshou, intervened and used the Longyuan Sword, which is used to protect the country, to slay demons and exterminate evil spirits. Now that the chaos has been settled and the world is at peace, we will choose a day to hold a Fengshan ceremony to worship our ancestors and report to heaven and earth.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been corrupted by the evil magic of a demon and his mind has been damaged. He will no longer be involved in government affairs in the future. After returning to Beijing, he will recuperate in Xining Palace for a long time.

The Minister of War Gao Bo colluded with evil people, plotted treason and chaos, and implicated all nine clans.

The rest of the generals will be dealt with individually based on whether they were aware of the situation, etc.

A major reshuffle has officially begun.

I don’t know how many people will be implicated, both in the court and in the underworld.

After that, no one knew which force would rise.

……

"His Majesty."

Deadpool and the eunuch led the way.

The emperor personally came to the shore of the deep pool.

A deadpool sneaks in.

Two hours later.

They finally made a discovery.

"His Majesty!"

"Found it. There is a huge hole below the deep pool created by the Dragon Abyss Sword. After going through the hole, there is a cave inside."

"..."

The emperor went into the water himself.

At this time, the stone gate of the cave had collapsed.

He stepped over the ruins and looked at the miserable scene in front of him, and sighed: "The great ancestor protected my royal descendants and even left such a secret room."

"His Majesty."

After a deadpool finished searching, he said, "Nothing!"

"According to the captured members of the Incense God Cult..."

"There was a man called Zhang Laizi who took away all the things inside and ran away."

Hear this.

Emperor Longqing had no expression on his face, but his eyes kept twitching: "Find this Zhang Laizi for me! The method to enter the fairyland was left to me by my ancestors. It belongs to me, all of it belongs to me!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

“We’re already checking!”

"..."

Emperor Longqing walked forward, stretched out a hand, gently stroked the stone platform, and repeatedly confirmed that there were really no other mechanisms and that everything had fallen into the hands of others.

"If I can't enter the fairyland, I will always be controlled by the immortals!

"It is said that Linghe is a waste of money and manpower, don't I know that?

"If it's exchanged for food, isn't it mine too?!
“When the immortal treasure couldn’t be found, Linghe was completely useless.

“Now, everything left by our ancestors is lost.

"What do you guys do for food?"

"His Majesty!"

In the rage of thunder.

Everyone fell to their knees.

"I am incompetent!"

"I am incompetent!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"..."

"I have taken on too much responsibility for this country."

Emperor Longqing waved his sleeves and said, "Everyone, go out. I will be in seclusion here for the next few days. I need to prepare well for the Fengshan ceremony. Don't let anything go wrong again."

Deadpool and the eunuchs retreat.

Soon Huang Hong was the only one left.

He took out the duster he had prepared in advance and cleaned the gravel and dust on the stone platform while reporting:

"Your Majesty, we lost two Martial Saints last night.

"Fan Tianfa was beheaded and Meng Quji is missing. The losses are not small."

"I know."

Emperor Longqing closed his eyes and said, "From among the twelve dead servants, pick out two with high realms and good aptitudes. Give them the things we got from the ruins that year and let them break through to the Martial Saint as soon as possible. Also, where is Pei Tiannan?"

"Lord Pei pretended to agree to their rebellion, and after arriving in the East, he found an excuse to go to the headquarters of the Incense and Fire Cult, hoping to root out this evil cult for Your Majesty, but there has been no news so far."

Huang Hong paused, "I will try to get in touch with him. If that doesn't work, call him back."

"Ah."

Emperor Longqing nodded and said, "Okay, you can go down and recuperate as well."

"My slave takes orders."

Huang Hong finished cleaning, put the futon away, and then respectfully left.

……

Until the evening of the next day.

Chen Sanshi just returned to his senior brother's residence from Ziwei Mountain.

"Three stones!"

Wang Zhi and Fang Qingyun had been waiting in front of the door for a long time.

"How's it going?"

Wang Zhi glanced at the blood on his junior brother's body, knowing that he was being overly concerned, and asked directly: "I heard that some kind of incense and fire sect rebelled last night? I was on the roof and saw that Ziwei Mountain was about to collapse!"

"Let's talk inside."

inside the room.

Chen Sanshi, with his bare chest, applied medicine and bandages on himself, and without stopping, recounted what had happened yesterday.

"The prince is the leader of the Incense God Cult?!"

Wang Zhi muttered, "This bastard is really good at hiding. And the eldest brother is really capable of doing anything... I'm afraid there will be major changes in the court in the future. What do you think, fourth brother?"

"There were signs of the Crown Prince's rebellion a long time ago, so it's not surprising that it has come to this."

Fang Qingyun held a book in his hand and said, "After this incident, according to my guess, the Sixth Master's party will rise in the court."

"Sixth Master?"

Chen Sanshi had no idea about this person.

"This person briefly replaced the position of regent twice many years ago. His mother, Concubine Xian, is from a family that is one of the most powerful noble families in the court, second only to the crown prince. However, he lost the game and ended up being imprisoned for life."

Fang Qingyun said: "But now, he should be released. According to the style of His Majesty the Emperor, he will continue to cultivate. It is impossible for him to really handle state affairs wholeheartedly, and it is impossible for Yan Ge Lao to dominate alone. Pulling out the Sixth Prince at this time can maintain the original balance of power, and it will be relatively easier to control.

"Speaking of which...

“The Dragon Abyss Sword is interesting.

"From your description, it seems that what it contains is not spiritual energy, but some special power left by Taizu Cao Xie."

"Good guy."

Wang Zhi was interested and asked, "Old Four, you guys are playing with such mysterious things, can you teach me?"

"You can not."

Fang Qingyun said frankly: "You have no hope of becoming an immortal. Just practice your martial arts. You have hope above the Martial Saint level. You are no weaker than those who practice the immortal arts. Junior brother, you will soon reach the Mysterious Elephant level. Work harder and strive to break through to the Martial Saint level within a year and a half."

"Don't worry, brother. I will do my best."

Chen Sanshi said.

"correct."

Fang Qingyun reminded him, "You have a few letters from home. I was away a few days ago and left them in your room. Go and take a look."

"it is good."

Chen Sanshi got up and left.

Return to the room.

Sure enough, it was another letter from home.

There are three in total.

They were his family members Lan Jie'er, Sun Buqi and Sun Li, and each of them wrote a letter.

We just exchanged pleasantries half a month ago, and this time everyone mentioned one thing in their letters.

There is a new female guest at home.

Sister Lan said it was an old friend.

Sun Li said he was a weirdo.

Sun Buqi said he was an uninvited guest.

Everyone hopes he will go back and take a look soon.

Female guest?
Chen Sanshi thought that he had never flirted with any women outside, so who would come to his house?

Fortunately, judging from Sister Lan's tone, there won't be any danger.

After the Fengshan ceremony is over, you can go home and visit your family.

"..."

Chen Sanshi collected several letters and then took out the Taizu relics he had obtained this time.

Five Elements Decision

There were three big words written on one of the booklets.

After opening.

Chen Sanshi's pupils gradually brightened.

It seems like...

It is the true method of cultivating immortals!

It records that after officially entering the immortal path, the early stages of cultivation are Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Elixir...

The "Five Elements Secret" in his hand is the practice method for the initial stage of Qi training.

And not everyone can cultivate immortality.

One must have spiritual roots to be able to cultivate immortality.

The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth correspond to the vast majority of spiritual roots. There are also some special spiritual roots, such as thunder and sound, which are unique to geniuses.

Each kind of spiritual root also has a corresponding method of cultivating immortals.

Taizu Cao Xie left his handwriting personally.

It was impossible for him to predict whether his descendants would have spiritual roots and what kind of spiritual roots they would have, so he only left behind the "Five Elements Secret". No matter what kind of spiritual roots they had, they could practice it. After the middle stage, they could change the exercises to suit the spiritual roots by themselves without any impact.

About martial arts.

Taizu Cao Xie also elaborated on this.

The strength above that of a Martial Saint is comparable to that of a late Qi Refining cultivator or even a perfect one. Even if one enters the world of immortal cultivation, one can receive superior treatment and will not die at any time, or be unable to fight back when encountering an accident.

Therefore, he said that the best way is to first enter the Dao through martial arts, and then use martial arts to protect the law.

Of course, this depends on fate.

Not only does one need to cultivate immortal spiritual roots, but one also needs to have a talent for martial arts, and these qualities must be the best in the world. This is something that is hard to come by.

therefore.

He suggested that as long as one has spiritual roots, it would be better to try to practice Taoism directly.

Practice the way of immortality.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is needed to cleanse the mortal body.

but.

There is no spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

The handwritten letter attached to the exercises said.

In ancient times, this place was full of spiritual energy, and everyone could practice Taoism. Until after a great war, the spiritual energy of the entire continent began to dry up rapidly, and it was even separated from the rest of the world and became just an isolated place.

The legend of the three ancient emperors is true.

But it was also the greatest glory of the monks. After that, they entered the Dharma Ending Age and remained completely extinct until a thousand years ago.

and so.

If the people of this mountain and river want to practice cultivation, unless they can find the remaining spirit stones, the best way is to take the teleportation jade token and head to the world of cultivation when the heaven and earth open up, where opportunities and risks coexist.

Moreover, the restrictions imposed by the world of immortal cultivation on this side are one-way restrictions. Once you successfully enter once, you can travel back and forth freely.

Cao Xie had successfully sought out immortals, entered the world of immortal cultivation, achieved success, and then returned to seize the kingdom.

Going southeast, to the ends of the earth, is a great opportunity.

There, the entrance to the fairyland opens once every fifty years. If you want to go there, it is best to go there while you are young and have enough lifespan, otherwise it will affect your upper limit in the future.
Finally, he emphasized that the jade pendant is extremely precious.

People who seek immortality from all continents of this world often wander around the ends of the earth, in order to pass through the line between heaven and earth and enter the fairyland, so they try not to be exposed.

"..."

Seeing this, Chen Sanshi picked up the jade token and looked at it carefully.

There were whitish jade plates with densely packed runes engraved on their surfaces. They looked somewhat similar to the ones Cao Fan had given him before, but they could not store mana and had completely different uses.

Once in fifty years.

He looked at the date of signature that Cao Xie had specially left, and then compared it with the year.

The last fifty years seem like just a short time ago!

If you miss it this time.

The next time the gate to immortality opens, won’t he be an old man in his seventies or eighties?

and.

The path of martial arts is to go against the will of heaven and to transcend the mundane world with human power. Before one breaks through to the level of a Martial Saint, one's lifespan will not be increased.

this point.

Chen Sanshi has personal experience of this.

Basically, every breakthrough involves the destruction and improvement of the physical body. The power gained through this method is good enough if it does not shorten one's lifespan.

In such a short time...

He was afraid that he might not have enough time to break through to become a Martial Saint.

Let’s take one step at a time.

"Three stones!"

Wang Zhi's voice rang out from outside the room: "Deng Feng is outside asking to see you."

"he?"

Chen Sanshi put away his things and came to the door of the mansion.

"Chen Shuai!"

Deng Feng clasped his fists and said, "I have something important to report to you. Please follow me."

Chen Sanshi followed him to a remote house.

When I opened the door, I saw a familiar figure.

I saw a man wearing a patched linen shirt standing in the yard.

Through the art of observing qi, one can see the rich and powerful qi in this person's body.

Martial Saint!

"you are?"

Chen Sanshi just felt that the other person's face was familiar.

"Master Chen, it's me."

Meng Quji wiped his face with his hand, revealing his original face.

"General Meng?"

Chen Sanshi was a little surprised.

This person's disguise skills are surprisingly not bad. If he didn't have the ability to observe auras, he really wouldn't be able to recognize him.

Deng Feng told the story in general.

"Master Chen."

Meng Quji said in a deep voice: "This happened suddenly, you may not know yet. If you are willing to take me in, my life will belong to Master Chen in the future. If you are not willing, I will leave immediately and will never implicate you."

"..."

Chen Sanshi really didn't expect this.

What do these people under him want to do?

Xu Wencai went to gather troops.

Deng Feng even managed to win over the Martial Saint...

"Chen Shuai."

Deng Feng advised: "We are weak now, but with Lord Meng here, we will have more helpers in the future."

Ziwei is in chaos.

Let Chen Sanshi see the role of the Martial Saint.

If he had a martial saint under his command, many things would indeed be much easier to do, but...

"Chen Shuai!"

Deng Feng said: "Although he and I are not friends, I have dealt with him for many years and he is reliable."

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi is not worried about this.

Now Meng Quji has offended both the emperor and the prince. If he does not surrender to the enemy country, he can only find another place to settle down. He must be sincere in following me, otherwise there would be no need to do this.

Seeing him, I agreed by default.

Meng Quji immediately knelt on one knee and said, "General Chen! If you need anything in the future, just let me know. As long as General Chen doesn't abandon me, I will do my best to assist you."

"Deng Feng, you arrange for him."

Chen Sanshi said, "After the Fengshan ceremony, follow our team back to Liangzhou secretly. I will also find a way to protect General Meng's family for you."

Meng Quji had just made great contributions in the Eastern Expedition not long ago. After all, he did not personally take action against the emperor, so he put all the blame on the Xianghuo Shen Sect. Then someone pleaded for him, so he was spared the death penalty but could not escape the punishment of living.

The best outcome would be having one's property confiscated and being exiled.

But as long as I'm alive, that's enough.

After giving the instructions.

Chen Sanshi returned to his residence and began to practice shooting.

There is still time before Ziwei Fengshan, so we cannot fall behind in our cultivation.

Seven days in a row.

He is in seclusion practicing.

[Kung Fu: Dragon Spear of the Nation. Mysterious Image (Not yet mastered)]

【Progress: 16/100】

[Effect: None]

"call……"

After another night of hard training, Chen Sanshi did not put down his spear until dawn.

"Look at the knife!"

He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a whistling sound in his ears. He immediately picked up the gun again and swung it in the direction of the sound.

"boom!"

That Mo Dao that was packed with fierce power.

"So fast?"

Chen Sanshi increased his strength and shook the other party away: "Brother, you have already opened up your meridians? It's only been a few days?!" "Damn it, your physique is too beastly, with both the Vajra Body and the True Dragon Strength..."

Wang Zhi stumbled back, finally steadying himself, grinning, "Hey! I can reach a small realm every three to five days, which is faster than expected. Just wait, it won't be long before I can recover to the Great Perfection of Mysterious Phenomenon. Then I will teach you well."

at the same time.

Fang Qingyun, dressed in a crimson official robe, came out of the room pushing a wheelchair. The official hat on his head was blown away by the strong wind caused by the fight between the two men. He said helplessly, "Okay, hurry up and pack up and go up the mountain. After today's ceremony, we will have to judge the merits and rewards in the court, and then we can set off for home."

"Good good."

Wang Zhi was in a good mood. He picked up the hat and put it on Fang Qingyun's head: "I'll clean it up right away."

The three brothers were all dressed neatly.

On Ziwei Mountain.

After several days of repairs, there were no traces of fighting in most places.

This day.

The bells rang and the crowd surged.

All officials bowed together and the emperor ascended the throne.

A grand Fengshan ceremony cost millions of taels of silver, countless cattle and sheep, and the rest of the manpower and material resources were too numerous to count. It was a scene of prosperity.

The Fengshan ceremony lasted for several days.

The court meeting was not held until it was over.

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

The ministers lined up neatly and took their positions.

Civil officials stood on the east side, and military officers stood on the west side.

Until His Majesty the Emperor took his seat in person, the sound of solemn musical instruments was heard on both sides.

This ceremony.

His Majesty the Emperor finally put on a dragon robe.

All the ministers knelt down and kowtowed.

After all the meaningless gossip, the eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department began to read out the list of heroes.

"Lü Ji, the Marquis of Might, has made many military achievements since he joined the army, making the barbarians on the grasslands tremble with fear. He has guarded the northern border for six years and has made great contributions and hard work. In the 72nd year of Longqing, during the Mingzhou Rebellion, he defeated the Zhong Wuxin tribe of the Western Qi Dynasty, killed 40,000 enemies, captured 20,000, quelled the rebellion, and stabilized the border. This is a first-class merit. This time, the evil spirit of Ziwei Mountain was causing trouble. He risked his life, saw through the evil plot, and then protected the emperor with all his strength. He is one of the few brave generals and good ministers in the Great Sheng Dynasty. In summary, Lü Ji is specially promoted to the rank of First-rank Special Advance Guanglu Dafu, and is in charge of three battalions of troops."

Three battalions of troops!

The ministers were thinking in their hearts.

In this way, even if the Northern Border Camp is expanded to twelve camps in the future, Lu Ji will control one quarter of it alone!

The eunuch continued to proclaim.

Soon after, several generals were rewarded for their contributions.

until……

"Tang Ruoshan, the former commander of Xuanwu Camp, was seriously injured after the Battle of Lingchuan and hid his identity. He was willing to serve as a general in Poyang County. He worked hard and was very kind. In the Battle of Hulao, he went deep into the enemy camp and risked his life to help the commander win a great victory. His merits were offset and he was restored to the second-rank military honor and promoted to the fourth-rank Mingwei General."

Tang Ruoshan!
The ministers began to wonder again.

This person is not dead?!
The military merits given are very high, but the military rank is only fourth grade, which may be a downgrade.

"Chen Sanshi, the Lieutenant General of the Left Army of the Reserve Battalion!"

When I read this name.

Everyone present pricked up their ears to listen.

The three words "Chen Sanshi".

He has only been in the court for two years, but every time he has been famous, he has shocked people. This time when he came to the East, he has made great achievements one after another. In their opinion, he will inevitably become the Supreme Pillar of the State.

Only Huang Hong's loud voice could be heard echoing in the hall.

"During the Mingzhou Rebellion, General Chen Sanshi of Huaiyuan crossed the Hongze River four times and attacked Meishan Prefecture, angering the rebel general Dong An to death. This was one of the first achievements of the Mingzhou Campaign.

"He marched eastward to Laizhou, wearing white robes and riding white horses, singing songs of celebration on all sides, and wherever he passed, the people surrendered, and the people of the world were eager to return.

"In the Battle of Hulao, three thousand defeated one hundred thousand, and captured two kings in one battle. This was an unprecedented military feat. The strategies used in the three battles have all been recorded in military books for military strategists all over the world to learn.

"The three great achievements are all of eternal merit and will be remembered for generations to come.

"During the rebellion of the Xianghuo Sect, Chen Sanshi risked his life to protect the emperor.

"All of these people are truly the pillars of our great prosperity, loyal ministers and wise generals unprecedented in the world.

"Hereby, I grant you the title of Earl of Wuyi."

count?!
Wasn’t the news that came out earlier that he was a first-rank Shangzhuguo?
How come he became an earl?!
He is only twenty years old.

Where in the world, in the Five Kingdoms, is there such a young earl? !
"Other!"

Huang Hong's voice continued.

"Appoint him as a second-rank general to defend the country, and appoint him as the commander of the elite battalion, and open the camp in Hongze!"

Commander of a battalion.

Open camp in Hongze!
From this moment on, among the four new camps opened in Beiliang, one has already had a name.

Hongze Camp!
"A bounty of 10,000 taels, 100,000 taels of silver, 8,000 pieces of silk, and a plaque for the title of Marquis of Wuyi!"

"..."

Follow up.

Many generals were also rewarded.

However, they are basically of higher levels. Since there are too many people below the Qianzong level, their awards will not be announced in the court, but will be given separately after the end.

among them.

To set an example.

Deng Feng, a surrendered general of the Qing State, directly retained his title of marquis and first-rank military rank in his own country. He would first go to the capital and then be transferred to another position. In the future, he might be transferred to the northern border or to any of the thirty-six states.

Finally, it is about the treatment of the ministers who participated in the rebellion.

Most of them were punished along with their entire clans, and only a few who had made great contributions died alone, while some of their family members survived. In order to show his tolerance, the emperor gave the 3,000 rebellious Zhendong troops a chance to go to the front line and fight.

Meng Quji was one of the first contributors to the Eastern Expedition.

Finally, he was wanted, and all his family members were confiscated and exiled.

This is the end.

The Eastern Expedition came to an end.

The court meeting is over.

Behind the Yangxin Palace.

There is a separate resting area.

"I see your Majesty."

Lu Ji bowed and saluted.

"Lü Ji, you did a good job this time."

Emperor Longqing praised: "If you hadn't told me first, I would have been kept in the dark for a while and wouldn't have been able to make full preparations in advance."

"Your Majesty, this is a wise and holy decision."

Lu Ji said respectfully: "I am only fulfilling my duty as a minister."

"You are better than your master in this respect."

Emperor Longqing said with satisfaction: "You are the eldest brother, and it would be great if you could take over the Eighth Battalion in the future. I trust you too. Tell me, what other reward do you want?"

"His Majesty!"

Lu Ji clasped his fists and said, "I would like your majesty to grant me a marriage."

"You are the great Lu Ji, and even several old men in the royal family want to marry their daughters to you. You can marry any girl you like. Do you really need me to come and help you propose marriage?"

Emperor Longqing jokingly said, "Go ahead."

"Sun Li."

Lu Ji uttered two words.

Emperor Longqing's face changed, and the corners of his mouth curled up, like a sneer, and also like self-mockery: "Shouldn't you ask your master if he is willing to do this?"

Lu Ji remained silent.

Of course he had asked this question a long time ago.

The master only had one sentence.

"Go ask your junior sister yourself."

……

He emphasized: "I still beg your Majesty to grant me the marriage!"

"Sun Xiangzong only has this one daughter, so let him make the decision himself."

Emperor Longqing said coldly: "If you have a princess you like, even if she is from an enemy country, just speak up."

Lu Ji lowered his head and said nothing.

"Alright, you don't really like Sun Li. You just want to officially inherit your master's legacy in the eyes of outsiders. There is no need to do this. The most important thing for a man and a woman is that they both agree."

Emperor Longqing leaned back in his chair and said, "You already have three battalions of soldiers under your command, and the commanders of the other battalions are all your junior brothers and sisters. After the expansion of the camp is completed, the new generals I sent will also respect you very much. You have already inherited the mantle. Otherwise, I will confer you a higher title now and give you the title of commander-in-chief?"

"I dare not!

Lu Ji knelt down on one knee in a hurry.

"Lü Ji, you don't need to care too much about these things. Whether in the army or in the court, prestige is still the most important. Sometimes the title is a burden. Take your master and I back then.

“One is the least powerful prince, not even entitled to the title of prince.

"One is a general who was born as a household slave and has only 4,000 soldiers under his command.

"We two, one civil and one military, have conquered the world and won the hearts and minds of everyone, right?"

Emperor Longqing followed the instructions and said, "If you make great contributions on the grassland, no one will dare to disobey you in the future. You will get what you want sooner or later. You are Sun Xiangzong's disciple and my favorite minister among the younger generation."

"I will obey the Holy Word!"

Lu Ji said in a deep voice.

"I can't satisfy you with the marriage offer, so I'll compensate you with something else."

Emperor Longqing patted the armrest of his chair.

"General Lu."

Huang Hong came forward with a tray: "These are all yours."

"This is……"

Lu Ji raised his head and saw several sheepskin scrolls and a broken incense burner placed on the orange-yellow silk.

How could he not recognize it?

This is the magic weapon used by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that night!

"I know you have always been eager to go further, but your master has been reluctant to teach you. It doesn't matter if he doesn't teach you. I will teach you!"

Emperor Longqing said: "From now on, the northern temples will be yours to use, but you cannot use the sacrifices to harm my subjects. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Lu Ji took the tray with both hands, his eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"correct."

Emperor Longqing asked: "If he didn't pass it on to you, did he pass it on to Chen Sanshi?"

"Probably not."

Lu Ji said seriously: "After all, he has just entered the door, and his current realm is relatively low."

"Well, as long as you have an idea."

Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said, "Go back, take good care of your wounds, and prepare to conquer the barbarians on the grassland next year. We cannot give them time to recuperate. Even if it costs a lot, we must teach them a lesson."

"I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!
Lu Ji took the tray and kowtowed heavily.

……

Warship.

Chen Sanshi stood on the deck at the stern, practicing archery at a straw man on a small boat at the rear.

After the court meeting, they returned to Liangzhou by boat that night.

The war in the east had ended long ago.

Zhan Taiming's rebellion was totally fake. He was held hostage and his subordinates rebelled. His purpose was only to lure away part of the army. After he knew that the troops attracted were the Huben Army, he quickly put down the rebellion.

The three states of Ling, Lai and others were still left to the Zhendong Army to guard.

It’s just that the local governor was replaced by a new person.

He seems to be a martial arts genius among Deadpool, who is about to break through to become a Martial Saint.

Deng Feng was also transferred.

The biggest gain of Chen Sanshi's trip was Meng Quji and the 3,000 Black Armored Army. They were a real army of tigers and wolves that had experienced a great battle. Even among the eight major camps in Liangzhou, they were considered elite. It was just that the commander was a little weak, and he was a Tongmai Dacheng...

Sitting on the boat with nothing to do, he found it boring to just practice shooting, so he started practicing archery when he had time.

The panel floats.

[Skill: Archery. Perfection (Breaking Limit Level 2)]

[Progress: (0/2000)]

[Effect: ..., shoot twice in one instant, and hit the target every time from 600 steps away]

The second level of breaking the limit mainly improves the speed and effective range of bow and arrow shooting.

Two arrows in an instant is equivalent to about five arrows per second. Before, it was three arrows. The arrows in a quiver can basically be used up very quickly.

Six hundred steps is eight hundred meters. A living person standing there can only see a black dot.

In fact.

Archery skills at this level have already reached the pinnacle in the world.

This time at Hulao Pass, they used special quivers to hang arrows on both sides of Qianxun's horse, and also hung them on Deng Feng's Qingcong horse. With more arrows on his back, the total number was less than a thousand arrows, which was still not enough.

Therefore, it is more important to increase the power of each arrow, after all, it has the effect of [unavoidable].

After returning, it is necessary to cut down the ghost vein wood, and then get some iron from the Xunxian Tower.

After practicing for a while, Chen Sanshi put away his bow and arrow, returned to the cabin and chatted with his senior brother about the things at the ends of the earth.

"From here to the southeast, it's the end of the world."

Fang Qingyun silently recited this and laughed at himself: "My legs were broken right there. I never thought that this is what Cao Xie left for the descendants of the Cao family."

"Brother, have you been there?"

Chen Sanshi was curious.

"Not only have I been there, I also had this jade token of yours before."

Fang Qingyun said with relief: "Junior brother, you want to go? Yes, if you wait another fifty years, not only will I be gone, but you will also be an old man. However, this journey is dangerous, and Master is not here."

"Senior brother."

Chen Sanshi asked: "Can you tell me where the master went?"

"This...I really don't know."

Fang Qingyun smiled bitterly: "I only know that it is related to the strange phenomenon in Luotian Mountains, and also to you. He could be anywhere in the country. I'm afraid it will take a long time for him to come back. I can try to help you contact him."

"The strange phenomenon in the Luotian Mountains..."

really.

Just as Chen Sanshi thought.

It's such an obvious thing that it's a poisonous beast.

Everyone in Liangzhou knows about it, how could the master not know about it?

This was also the reason why he didn't ask any more questions at the beginning.

"Let's go home first."

Chen Sanshi said lightly.

blink.

Another month has passed.

【Progress: 46/100】

It’s not far from the Xuanxiang realm.

The warships anchored at the shore.

Chen Sanshi and others changed horses and traveled by land.

When going.

There were no more than twenty riders.

But when they came back, they were a mighty force of three thousand cavalry!

In order to bring back the 3,000 Black Armored Army and more than 3,000 war horses, dozens of large warships were mobilized, and the amount of food and grass consumed along the way was countless.

along the way.

The horses had only had a brief opportunity to move around when they were docked, and they had been suffocated for a long time. Now they had finally "regained their freedom" and were galloping along the spacious pipes in the wilderness, stirring up clouds of dust and deafening sound of horse hooves.

Liangzhou.

The city gate.

After receiving the news, Sun Li, Sun Buqi and Tong's family members waited in front of the city gate early.

"Sanshi is too cruel!"

Sun Buqi was excited: "Three thousand defeated one hundred thousand, is this a battle that can be won by humans? If any storyteller dares to make up this story, he will definitely be beaten until his mouth is swollen!"

"Isn't that right~"

Rong Yanqiu, who happened to be resting in Liangzhou, said with emotion: "This little junior brother is really amazing. He was made an earl at the age of 19. In the future, he will at least be a marquis.

"It's mainly about the ability to fight...

"I'm afraid he's even more powerful than Master and the Fourth Brother."

"I made a decision!"

Sun Buqi clenched his fists and said, "From now on, I will join the army and lead troops to fight!"

"No, no, no!"

Rong Yanqiu was terrified: "My young master, you'd better stay at home and don't let us worry about you."

"Huh? You don't believe in my ability?"

Sun Buqi looked around and said, "Sister, do you think I can do it? I can start with Bai Zonggan, which is a much higher starting point than Sanshi. I learned archery from him, and I have already chosen a nickname. From now on, I will be called 'Little White Robe' Sun Buqi, how about that?"

As he spoke, he began to become self-indulgent.

"Tsk tsk, so domineering! I also have a white robe, a spear and a large bow, I am equal to Chen Sanshi!"

"Xixi!"

Sun Buqi cleared his throat, raised the spear in his hand, and posed in front of the little girl beside him: "How about it? Do you think I have the qualifications?"

"Wow~"

Chen Yunxi raised her little face and clapped her hands in support, "Master, you are so handsome."

"Hahaha!"

Sun Buqi laughed loudly and said, "Good girl, if you want to learn martial arts and archery in the future, I will teach you!"

Sun Li could no longer conceal the disgust in her eyes and subconsciously pulled Xixi a few steps away.

"came back!"

not far away.

Lu Shuhua and Wen Zhi, who also came to greet their family, were there.

They pointed forward.

"Rumble--"

The ground suddenly began to shake!
Yellow dust rose into the sky, like a sandstorm that swallowed the world.

It wasn't until they got closer that people saw it.

In this sandstorm.

It is a cavalry with black armor.

Rushing in the front was a young general riding a white horse and wearing a white robe, holding a long spear and carrying a large bow on his back.

"Yo~"

Rong Yanqiu bowed respectfully, and then said jokingly: "This servant pays homage to Lord Wuyi."

"Senior sister, please stop joking with me."

Chen Sanshi reined in his horse and stopped, waved his hand to signal the Black Armor Army to enter the city in an orderly manner, then dismounted and greeted everyone one by one.

"Senior Sister Sun!"

"No, you..."

He looked at the other person who was dressed almost exactly like him and didn't know what to say.

"Daddy!"

Chen Yunxi rushed over.

Chen Sanshi held him in his arms, and the latter rubbed his face a few times.

He smiled and said, "How's it going, girl? Did you miss me?"

"I miss Daddy every day."

Chen Yunxi said in a baby voice.

"Okay."

Chen Sanshi saw that the girl had become much more lively, which meant that she had been getting along well with other people for the past six months.

"The surname is Chen!"

Wen Zhi came over and took a quick look: "Have you seen the mysterious image?!"

"almost."

Chen Sanshitou replied without replying, "Master Wen, please wait a little longer. There is no need to be too anxious."

"Humph!"

Wen Zhi snorted coldly and walked away.

The rest of the brothers who set out from Liangzhou also began to greet their families at the city gate.

"Where's Sister Lan?"

Chen Sanshi held the girl and looked around, but he couldn't find the figure he wanted to see. He asked, "Why is she not here? Is she feeling unwell?"

"Sister Lan..."

Sun Li wanted to speak.

But Rong Yanqiu interrupted him: "Junior brother, you should go back and take a look. There is a female guest in your house. She is very powerful and doesn't treat anyone well. She also refuses to leave.

"Today, she was the one who stopped your wife from coming out to pick you up."
