"Tianxiang, how many words have they learned in the last few days?" During the meal, Li Xuanqing casually held a roe deer leg and asked Xu Tianxiang, who was gnawing on the trotters of a wild boar on the side. Because Xu Tianxiang knew some words, so at the beginning, Li Xuanqing asked Xu Tianxiang to be responsible for teaching everyone to recognize words, so that he could also study Sun Tzu's Art of War, Xu Tianxiang was gnawing hard, and when he heard Li Xuanqing's words, he hurriedly put down the wild boar's trotters and replied seriously: "Don't worry, I teach you to recognize ten words every night, and there are more than 100 in the past few days." Glancing at Li Xuanqing's expression, he hurriedly said: "I check every day whether I have forgotten the words I learned before, and there will be no problem." ”

Speaking of literacy, Li Xuanqing is also a little speechless, his brothers are full of enthusiasm for learning martial arts, but when it comes to literacy, they are all cowardly, and they are reluctant in every way. Li Xuanqing was forced to have no way to issue a ticket directly, and whoever didn't know how to read or forgot a word would be punished for running ten laps around Matoufeng. In the first few days, basically every morning like this guy had to run around Matoufeng, and Li Xuanqing supervised the whole process, and someone was punished ten laps immediately for slipping, so this Matoufeng was made by them in the morning during this time.

Li Xuanqing listened to Xu Tianxiang's words and nodded, glanced at the others, and found that everyone looked at him with wrong eyes, coughed, and said slowly: "According to the character score I wrote for you, insist every day, and ensure that everyone knows all the words above after three months." If you forget a word, you will run ten laps, and you are not allowed to use light gong, otherwise you will be punished for running 100 laps. ”

"A hundred laps? Third child, are you going to exhaust us to death? Originally, when Li Xuanqing and Xu Tianxiang talked about this, Chen Yu and they didn't dare to speak. At this time, when Li Xuanqing said a hundred circles, everyone immediately put down the food in their hands. This hundred laps, still let people live? Chen Yu looked at Li Xuanqing, his eyes widened, and his tone of voice trembled.

"Yes, third brother, we don't have any talent for reading and writing? Besides, we are very diligent in learning martial arts, why should we learn to read and write? Wu Huan, who has never liked to talk much, glanced at Li Xuanqing and said in a slurred manner.

"That's it. Tianxiang, which one is disobedient and comes to me directly, I came to watch them run in circles. Li Xuanqing didn't bother to explain, and directly gave instructions to Xu Tianxiang and walked out.

Xu Tianxiang smiled bitterly and nodded, now everyone looked at Xu Tianxiang's expression was wrong, since this guy was caught by Li Xuanqing for helping him cheat and was punished for running around Matoufeng for fifty laps in the middle of the night, he was ruthless enough to attack himself during this time, he couldn't write a word, and it was useless for anyone to intercede immediately, and he personally supervised everyone the next morning, and he was selfless.

"Alas, I'm so miserable, tortured by these two guys. Bullying me has a bad brain. Yang Tiancheng, who was stuffing meat into his mouth on the side, wailed, but was choked by a piece of meat, and his cough took half a day to get better. I saw him pointing at Xu Tianxiang, trembling his fingers, and his "vicious" eyes seemed to be about to eat Xu Tianxiang.

Everyone laughed at his funny eyes, which also alleviated the "painful" atmosphere just now.

"Chen Yu, in the afternoon, I took everyone to practice knife skills, holding a wooden knife, and the two of them fought against each other. The effect of practicing moves every day is not very good, so let's be practical. I'm going to get you more to eat. Anyway, you've eaten enough lately, and I'm about to become a professional hunter. Tianxiang, remember to supervise them, whoever loses, climb the South Heavenly Gate ten times. At this time, Li Xuanqing's voice came from afar.

When Chen Yu heard this, he stuffed the meat in his hand into his mouth, and his gong-like voice suddenly sounded, "Brothers, copy guys, the deal is here." ”

Seeing that everyone began to fight with wooden knives, from the beginning of the inability to use, to the end of the battle with almost real swords, nodded, put his mind at ease, and began to study Sun Tzu's Art of War.

The memories of his previous life and the knowledge in the books now have given Li Xuanqing a lot more knowledge and understanding of Sun Tzu's Art of War. It's just that although I have almost understood the Art of War, I still can't understand the specific knowledge of the army's assembly, drills, commands, marches, and formations in this era based on the Art of War alone.

"It seems that it is still necessary to join the army to systematically learn these things. But one of the advantages of myself is that as long as you make up for these specific knowledge, you shouldn't have too bad a performance with your own brain. Li Xuanqing put down the book, smiled slightly, and began to catch prey and prepare food. During this time, the consumption of martial arts was very large, and his group was at a critical moment of growing their bodies, so everyone's appetite was more than doubled. Fortunately, Li Xuanqing began to boil herbal soup from time to time to make medicinal supplements for everyone, otherwise this physical consumption is really not small.

However, Li Xuanqing did not plan to reduce everyone's activity, but changed the method to increase the intensity, sometimes the potential of the body is improved in approaching everyone's limit again and again, and in the process, it is also changing the method to exercise everyone's endurance. If only sometimes this endurance is more important than strength.

With Li Xuanqing's current skills, hunting for food is already a breeze. I saw the floating light glimpse body method, only to see the figure like a ghost flickering in the jungle, just like the light point on the water waves, the water waves rippled between the ups and downs, but in an instant, drifting away, like duckweed in the wind, there is no law at all.

To put it bluntly, this kind of light skill is trained little by little in the race with the beasts of Matoufeng, and with every improvement of Li Xuanqing's pure yang true qi, Li Xuanqing's light skill is also improving unconsciously.

And with Li Xuanqing's movements, the prey that originally came out to forage in early spring was so frightened that they ran all over the mountains. Fortunately, it is fortunate that there are wild beasts everywhere in the Helan Mountain area, otherwise it would have been a real problem for these people to eat.

In less than an hour, Li Xuanqing had already caught a few rabbits and roe deer and the like, and he estimated that it was enough for the big guy to eat two meals, so he stopped. It's just been a winter, and the beasts are basically out of meat now, so it's better to fight less.

Li Xuanqing searched for a few more herbs to replenish qi and strengthen his body, and then went back. But when he went back to get these things done, Li Xuanqing looked up at the sky, looking at the direction of Lingzhou City, it seemed that he should go back, add some salt, and inquire about the news by the way, it is now 885, that is, the first year of the Guangqi of Tang Xizong. In this year, Xizong returned to Chang'an. According to this rhythm of development, the Lingzhou Festival in the northwest makes Han Zun seem to have a good life. It's just that Li Xuanqing can't remember whether Han Zun participated in the crusade of the eunuch Tian Lingzi this year, and the battle of Wang Chongrong, the envoy of the Hezhong Festival. But these don't mean much to Li Xuanqing now. Han Zun was still a capable minister in Lingzhou. However, starting from Han Zun, the original Shuofang Jiedu made the Yellow River Hetao area of the territorial Heshuo out of the control of Lingzhou, and the Shuofang Jiedu became the Lingzhou Jiedu Envoy.

Thinking of the later sentence that the Yellow River is harmful, and the Hetao Plain is only rich, Li Xuanqing couldn't help but shake his head secretly, if these can be put in his own hands, it won't be long before he can become a stable base.

But now is not the time to think about that. After Li Xuanqing hurriedly said hello to Chen Yu and them, he stretched out his hand, and the Chengying Sword was copied in his hand, and his figure quickly floated out of the valley like a fallen leaf.

"The third child's light skills are getting better and better, and it seems that if we don't work harder, we will really drag him back." Chen Yu and Xu Tianxiang watched Li Xuanqing's figure quickly fly up to the Nantian Gate and disappear into the distance, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, turned their heads and suddenly increased their training efforts.

It is said that after Li Xuanqing came out of the South Heavenly Gate, he suddenly accelerated his speed and began to try to see where his limit was. There are 250 miles from Helan Mountain to Lingzhou, and I am currently using my full strength to show the floating light and shadow body method to see how long it will take to arrive.

With a long roar, his body rose into the air like a dragon and disappeared. The early spring in the northwest is full of snow-capped wilderness, and the breath of spring is not obvious. But seeing Li Xuanqing flashing like a gray shadow, every time his feet landed without the slightest sound, and every time he landed, his figure appeared dozens of lengths away like a ghost, and this floating light and shadow figure method really reached the superior realm.

Jiulixing, located in the outpost of Helan Mountain in and out of Lingzhou City, the protrusion of the remaining veins of Helan Mountain, is also the key point to curb Lingzhou to Ganlong.

However, this place has been occupied by a gang of bandits for several years, and it is also helpless to say. However, it is the end of the world, thieves are rampant, and Lingzhou City has just fought a war with the Wen Mo people, the descendants of the Tubo people, a few years ago, and this place is temporarily unable to take care of it.

However, under normal circumstances, there are not many thieves robbing the poor and the homeless, and the poor can't squeeze out any oil and water after robbing in these years, and they also waste manpower and material resources, so Li Xuanqing and Chen Yu have not encountered anything when they have traveled back and forth to Helan Mountain countless times before. Now with Li Xuanqing's skills, he naturally doesn't pay attention to it.

In less than half an hour, Li Xuanqing had already seen Jiulixing. The terrain is indeed treacherous, with a rugged mountain path winding between several peaks. There is a clearing in front and back of the road around the Nine Mile Trail, and the terrain is a little flatter.

Li Xuanqing saw a flagpole fluttering high on the mountain peak on the left side of Jiulixing, with an unknown flag fluttering on it, and secretly sighed that these guys are really unscrupulous, and it is rare to be a bandit to publicly display his own flag.

Li Xuanqing had already seen from afar that there were some figures faintly hidden in the hidden places on the mountains on both sides of the mountain road, which should be bandits who were watching on the road. However, Li Xuanqing didn't care, he suddenly increased his speed, and his figure seemed to be a little blurry when he flickered, and every time he moved, he brought a trace of phantom, and in just a moment, he floated over the nine miles and swept towards the direction of Lingzhou City.

Just when Li Xuanqing's figure disappeared, Jiulixing suddenly seemed to turn the sky upside down, and the gold and iron resonated and became a mess. The reason was that the leader of Jiulixing inadvertently saw Li Xuanqing's almost flying-like light skills.

"This person's light skills are so good, how many people in the world can have them?" The stalking bandit naturally discovered Li Xuanqing's actions, but found that the speed of the alarm on the mountain was not as fast as the other party's action, and he was suddenly shocked. But just when these minions hurriedly rang the bronze bell, what they didn't expect was that at the highest point of the mountain, a pair of sharp eyes had already seen all this.

What Li Xuanqing didn't expect was that his actions actually caused a great sensation among the bandits in the Nine Miles, so much so that a year later, Li Xuanqing and his party went out of the mountain and formed a great relationship with these people. But that's an afterthought, and it's not to be mentioned.

After nine miles, with Li Xuanqing's speed, it was naturally less than half an hour to reach the edge of Lingzhou City. Looking at the familiar vicissitudes of the ancient city in front of him, Li Xuanqing couldn't help but feel a little emotional, remembering that in his previous life, the ancient city of Lingzhou was long gone, leaving only a few ruins for future generations to hang on. But at this moment, this important town in the northwest, an ancient city that resists the eastward advance of ethnic minorities, is the only hope in the hearts of the Han nation, which has declined.

Li Xuanqing sighed and walked slowly towards the city gate. Although Lingzhou City is an important town, most of its military significance is greater than its political and economic significance. So the size of the city is far less than its military role. Li Xuanqing entered and exited the West City with only three city gates, one main city gate and two corner gates, and all the designs were planned around the attack and defense of the soldiers.

However, Li Xuanqing grew up in Lingzhou since he was a child, so he is naturally very familiar with these. So it was easy to bypass the guards and enter the city, and go straight to a fur merchant. This luggage Xuanqing plans to sell the fur accumulated this winter and buy enough daily necessities such as salt.

When Li Xuanqing came out of business, he checked the silver in his hand and smiled, not to mention that his bargaining ability was really good, these furs were actually sold for more than 100 taels of silver, and he also bought more than 100 catties of salt. There are more salt ponds in the northwest, so the salt price in Lingzhou City is slightly lower than that in the mainland. But this is the case, salt was definitely a strategic resource in ancient times, and it was generally strictly controlled. Li Xuanqing still reached an agreement with the boss of the commercial bank to buy so much in the name of the commercial bank. If it were an individual, he would be arrested directly if he bought so many at once.

After Li Xuanqing transported these salt bars to the dilapidated house in the western district of the city where he used to live, he once again wandered around Lingzhou City. I had been away for so long, and there was no one to live in that house, and besides, apart from orphans like myself, basically no one wanted to go to that slum.

But at this moment, Li Xuanqing still wants to do something else. So while the time was still early, Li Xuanqing turned left and right and went to a clothing store in the block to prepare a few sets of clothes. My group basically wore clothes made of animal skins in Helan Mountain this winter, not to mention the big goal, if the weather gets warmer, it will be really troublesome. So Li Xuan cleared a few sets of clothes for himself, and bought two sets of clothes for Chen Yu and each of them.

After changing his clothes, Li Xuan casually bought some food, and after eating, he saw that the sky was already dark, and the night began to envelop the ancient city.

However, Li Xuanqing didn't have much heart to appreciate the night. As soon as his body spread, he walked towards the most prosperous high-rise building in the city like a ghost, which was the residence of the envoy of the Lingzhou Festival.
