In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

As for the family skills that Chu Yiren mentioned, Chen Shan did not overlook them either.

As mentioned before, powerful clans still held a dominant position and monopolized a large amount of resources, including knowledge and culture.

Even for families of generals, the greater the ancestral background, the longer the lineage!

They often possess unique military formations and combat techniques!

This is also the means by which they train elite soldiers for survival.

"Teaching him isn't out of the question; I think he has quite a talent for boxing."

Xiao Ningning hesitated for a moment, but seeing Chen Shan's thoughtful expression, she became anxious, fearing that he would ask about her background, and hurriedly agreed.

Xiao Ningning did not intentionally conceal her origins!

It was only because she knew her identity was sensitive, and the accusations against her family were terrifying to hear!

If Chen Shan finds out, it will only cause him trouble!

Furthermore, she really didn't want to deceive Chen Shan, who had taken care of her and treated her well, so she could only change the subject.

"Is this alright? If it were just a simple fist technique like the one you just used, that would be fine, but it involves some of your family's unique skills. Are you really willing to teach it to me?"

Chen Shan was quite surprised to hear this and said in surprise.

Although Chen Shan has the system, he still has a month before he can join the army!

He can't just sit around waiting for the system to give him rewards and do nothing.

Moreover, after joining the army, you never know when you might be pulled into the battlefield. During this time, you need to increase your bargaining power to better survive in this world.

But Chen Shan knew that too!

In this era, many unique skills are not easily passed on to outsiders!

He was worried that asking Xiao Ningning to teach him would put her in a difficult position.

"It's nothing. Who told you to do this? You're my husband! You work so hard hunting to support the four of us. I'd feel bad if I didn't do something for you."

Xiao Ningning became unusually shy, lowering her head and speaking in a soft, barely audible voice.

Xiao Ningning also knew why Wang Xiaoya took the initiative last night.

So for the entire night, Xiao Ningning listened to the noises next door while thinking about what she could do for Chen Shan and for this family.

After spending two days in Kaoshan Village, Xiao Ningning gradually went from being unwilling to accept reality.

Regardless, her top priority is to survive!

Otherwise, if something were to happen to me, how would I ever find my parents again?

Why not clear the name of his family and the Xiao family army?

Of course, what made Xiao Ningning accept and acknowledge Chen Shan, and even want to help him, was the ability he repeatedly demonstrated, which earned her her heartfelt admiration.

Otherwise, if Chen Shan were a good-for-nothing, Xiao Ningning would be extremely resistant to even becoming his wife, let alone teaching him skills.

Looking at the hesitant and bashful Xiao Ningning!

Chen Shan and Chu Yiren exchanged a glance, and both of them couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha!"

There was no way around it; Chen Shan simply loved Xiao Ningning's coy and arrogant demeanor.

"What are you laughing at? Am I that funny? Stop laughing!"

Xiao Ningning blushed and angrily rebuked the two men, but they remained unmoved and laughed even more unrestrainedly.

"What are you laughing at? Come and eat breakfast!"

Fortunately, Liu Ruyu came over to call people for dinner, which helped Xiao Ningning out of the predicament.

……

After breakfast, Chen Shan and the four women each had their own things to do.

Leaving aside Liu Ruyu and the others for now, Chen Shan didn't rush off hunting today. Instead, he spent time with Xiao Ningning learning her family's traditional skills.

After two days of hunting, Chen Shan had actually caught more than enough!

The most important thing to do during this period is not to hunt again, but to process the game... such as tanning the fur, smoking and drying the meat, and drying and dehydrating the medicinal herbs!

To avoid it spoiling in a few days and wasting Chen Shan's efforts.

After her initial shyness in the morning, Xiao Ningning has now relaxed and is fulfilling her duties as a teacher.

"The key points of this boxing style are..."

"is that so?"

"Yes, yes, you've already mastered the basics of fist and foot techniques. Next up is swordsmanship. I see that although you have an ancestral treasured sword, it seems you don't have the corresponding swordsmanship. I happen to know a swordsmanship technique that's suitable for using this kind of heavy broadsword with wide, sweeping movements."

"You've mastered swordsmanship so quickly? Are you truly a martial arts prodigy?"

From morning to afternoon, Xiao Ningning taught Chen Shan many skills from the Xiao family's military tradition.

First comes hand-to-hand combat, then swordsmanship.

Chen Shan mastered these skills with great ease. After Xiao Ningning repeatedly confirmed that he had never practiced martial arts, she could only attribute Chen Shan to a martial arts prodigy who was a once-in-a-century talent.

Chen Shan did not deny this!

After all, admitting it like that!

This perfectly explains where his strength comes from.

As the two began to communicate more and more...

Xiao Ningning also went from initially instinctively resisting men to gradually getting closer and closer to Chen Shan.

Regarding physical contact with Chen Shan during martial arts practice, Xiao Ningning was no longer as flustered as before, and instead felt a sense of naturalness.

"I will then teach you military formations and swordsmanship. If you have several trusted soldiers working with you, even if the enemy's numbers far exceed yours, you may still have a chance of victory. However, these military formations require coordinated manpower!"

"So I can only teach you the method of setting up formations. As for how to practice them, I estimate you'll have to wait until you join the army to try..."

As dusk approached, Xiao Ningning began to explain the military formations to Chen Shan again.

Listening to Xiao Ningning's explanation, Chen Shan's heart stirred, and he thought of the few underlings who had defected to him yesterday.

Like Chen Shan, they were all to join the army in a month.

"I remember that besides them, many other people from dozens of households in the village were also going to join the army. Perhaps this is the perfect opportunity!"

Gradually, Chen Shan had a plan in mind, while Xiao Ningning's explanation was coming to an end.

……

In the evening, after dinner, it was already dark!

After washing up, Chen Shan naturally lay back down on the bed to rest.

Looking at the beautiful figure lying on the bed first, Chen Shan patted her gently as usual and said:

"Xiaoya, you don't need to rush to keep me company tonight. You're not in good health, so you should get some rest. Go sleep in the next room."

Clearly, Chen Shan wasn't just using his strength; he was also very gentle and considerate when necessary.

Unexpectedly, the figure lying on his back only swayed slightly and showed no intention of getting up.

"What do you mean? You don't want to go sleep there? Fine, I'll behave myself tonight and not do 'that'."

Chen Shan was preoccupied with his future development plans and didn't think too much before lying down and embracing "Wang Xiaoya".

"Get a good rest tonight."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the door opened a crack, and Wang Xiaoya's timid voice came through:

"My lord, the person who will be with you tonight is Sister Xiao, not me. Don't let her down."

Chen Shan: ? ? ?
