Chapter 11 The dove takes over the magpie's nest

Xu family, Xu family is heavily guarded.

Outside the door, in the corridor, and in front of the house stood menacing elite barbarian soldiers.

Xu Guangting and Liming sat opposite each other, and there was also a middle-aged barbarian whose appearance was somewhat similar to Liming. This man was Liming's son Li Dong.

"Master-in-law, why are you here late at night?" Xu Guangting said respectfully.

"Together we have taken great measures. The imperial court is no longer able to take care of the affairs in the southwest. Now is the time for us to send troops." Li Ming's eyes flashed with strong murderous intent.

Chenzhou Wu Lan suppressed him for decades.

He did not dare challenge the authority of the court.

Things are different now. The imperial court has too much time to take care of itself. Rebellions have broken out in southern Yunnan. He just takes the place of Chenzhou's pacifier and still obeys the imperial court. It shouldn't be a big deal.

Xu Guangting said excitedly: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will spend all my family wealth to build a great cause together!"

Xu Feng was also very excited.

Grandpa became the pacifier of Chenzhou, and his eldest uncle Li Dong was the successor. There was no way the Xu family could get the position of county magistrate.

"Wei Shi has been doing business for generations and has been Chineseized for a long time. He only has 200 private soldiers. The Wu family claims to have 3,000 elite soldiers, but at most they can only have more than 1,000 combat troops. And our mountain barbarians have 5,000 strong soldiers, so it is easy to capture Chenzhou. "

After all, not everyone wants to be king and hegemon. Back then, Ming Taizu promised them hereditary wealth and honor. Two hundred years later, most people no longer want to support those expensive armies.

This is also the strategy of the imperial court. When the time is right, this place can be turned into a floating official system and directly under the imperial government.

Ming Ming was a native barbarian. Because his position at the foot of the mountain was occupied, he was still fighting with the barbarians. Unexpectedly, he accidentally collided with them and ended up with a large army.

"May I ask my father-in-law, when will the troops start?" Xu Guangting asked.

"You don't need to know too much about this. I will notify you in advance!" Li Dong said first, obviously not believing Xu Guangting.

Although they are relatives, Li Dong has always looked down on Xu Guangting, a cowardly Han Chinese.

Xu Guangting smiled politely and said, "Okay!"

Liming and his son left.

Xu Guangting said to his son: "When something happens in the future, we must use all the strength of the Xu family and use the traitors planted in the city to open the city gate at night, or pretend to be a caravan to attack."

"Yes!" Xu Feng added, "Father, Lihu Lihu of Lizhuang has been very popular recently and seems to intend to pass it on to Xu Xuan..."

"Your eldest brother is also a Xu family member. How can a family member have private wealth? You are looking for an opportunity to kill Li Hu. Take those family properties back to the Xu family and leave a small courtyard for your eldest brother."

The poison of a tiger does not eat its seeds. Xu Guangting would not think of killing his own son.

Li Hu has been smuggling for many years, and even if they get a small head, they are still greedy.

Xu Feng walked out of the door. When he thought of Xu Xuan, his mind recalled the scene when Xu Xuan killed everyone.

He smiled disdainfully and said, "Just a martial artist."

Pear Village.

Back mountain.

It is said to be the back mountain, but it does not belong to Lizhuang, it is just close to it.

At this time, Wu Xiong and a man with a hooked nose went up the mountain.

Go to the mountainside, where the Heavenly Master practices.

The two of them had complicated hearts and solemn expressions.

Halfway up the mountain, there are dense jungles and cold fog.

There is a thatched cottage with a wooden pavilion outside the thatched cottage and an alchemy cauldron in the wooden pavilion.

The alchemy cauldron was burning with flames, and a strange fragrance came from it.

In front of the alchemy cauldron, there is a young man dressed as a Taoist priest. The fire is red, and the red light reflects on his face.

Wu Xiong was filled with respect and fear.

The mysterious power is both intoxicating and frightening.

When they thought that they were his subordinates, the two of them felt relieved.

Xu Xuan ignored the two of them and focused on refining alchemy.

A quarter of an hour later, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the fire.

Whoosh!

The wind blew and the flames went out.

Then the zhenqi gathered in his palms, and he effortlessly pinched the lid, which was hot at hundreds of degrees.

This scene is terrifying to watch.

There is some white ash inside the alchemy cauldron.

This is Daqinglong San.

This is not an elixir, and elixirs are not good at it yet.

The medicinal effect of Daqinglong Powder is different from that in the other world. Here it mainly broadens the meridians, improves the efficiency of generating true energy, and replenishes energy and blood.

That's right, Xu Xuan no longer needs to practice martial arts.

The energy and blood improved by practicing martial arts are just a by-product of practice and do not require special practice. This is why everyone wants to practice.

Infuse your feet with chi.

Uh-huh!

An afterimage spanned more than ten feet and landed in front of the two of them.

"Meet the Heavenly Master!"

The two of them knelt down and kowtowed, feeling even more shocked.

Can ordinary martial arts practitioners be so fast?

As expected of a heavenly master, he is becoming less and less like a mortal.

"Get up." Xu Xuan's expression was calm.

In this world where I am the only immortal, there is no need to be nice to them, you must have the character of a god.

Wu Xiong stood up and reported, saying:

"Huitianshi, I have completed the integration of forces. Our current territory includes Chenxi County and Wupo Village. Chenxi County has a total of 12,000 people. The annual tax revenue can support an army of 500 people. If we recruit troops temporarily, There are two thousand people.”

"There are fifteen shops in the city, and the underground forces have a total of 215 minions."

"All in all, we have 800 soldiers capable of fighting, and a total of 3,500 taels in the warehouse..."

Xu Xuan waved his hands impatiently and said, "Don't talk about this. Have you brought the materials? Where is the secret method?"

"My subordinates are still asking around, but I heard that there is a martial arts gym in Meishan City. It was formerly a Taoist temple, but later it was changed to teach people to practice martial arts. Maybe it has a legacy."

"Check it out more." Xu Xuan began to think deeply, "Taoist temple... you can also build a Taoist temple on the mountain another day."

It's not a problem to stay in Lizhuang, it's not too hidden this way.

"yes!"

The two went down the mountain to take care of business.

Xu Xuan returned to the thatched cottage and took another look at the spiritual stone in the box.

Two thumb-sized spirit stones lay quietly in it, and the spirit crystal next to them disappeared.

The next step is to absorb the spirit stones.

"Daily practice with two low-grade spiritual stones should last more than a year."

Xu Xuan estimated it based on the consumption rate of spiritual crystals.

But it's not enough.

Now that all the six talisman arts have been introduced, the most important corpse exorcism technique has not yet been practiced, which will probably use up a lot of spiritual stone energy.

"Take a step and see." Xu Xuan glanced at the bell hanging on the wall.

Now I just hope that the Li family can take over Heihefang.

This should yield a lot more spiritual stones.

Xu Xuanguan locked the door tightly.

He took out the futon from under the bed, sat cross-legged, and held a spiritual stone in his hand.

There is a piece of calligraphy hanging on the wall.

"A gentleman works hard all day long and is vigilant at night, and he has no fault."

This is to remind yourself at all times to be cautious and not to be arrogant. Your own strength is far from invincible.

The attitude towards Wu Xiong and the two just now was just some imperial skills. Naturally, it would not be like this in front of others.

Even though he has true energy and his physical strength has been greatly improved, he still can't stop the crossbow, but there are only some superficial warnings.

The more advanced your cultivation is, and if you have enough true energy in your body, or you can find the relevant secret method to the point where bows and crossbows are ineffective, you can basically sit back and relax.

Xu Xuan adjusted his breathing for a moment and took the Daqinglong Powder wrapped in paper.

The moment he swallowed it, heat exploded in his body.

In order to avoid heavy metal poisoning, he mobilized the true energy in his body to merge these heat flows.

The heat flow gathers in Dantian and spreads around.

The meridians are widening and the amount of true energy is increasing.

If consuming a ray of spiritual energy could convert half a ray of true energy before, now that the prescription is taken, the ratio is close to one to one.

Greatly reduce the loss of spirit stones.

The difference between nourishing qi and refining qi is that refining qi can circulate throughout the heavens, while in the stage of nourishing qi, true qi can only be artificially strengthened in the Dantian.

When Xu Xuan was practicing.

Lizhuang Assembly Hall.

An envoy sent by the Xu family found Li Hu.

"Master Li, there is a mission from above!"
