There is a Xiong family who does a lot of evil in the suburbs, and almost everyone in Licheng knows it, but in the city, it is quite regular.

It's also a sensible thing to do.

Looking at Jiang Ning's trio again, Dao Hanqing became a battalion guard, Jiang Ning persuaded Song Ying's deputy, plus Dao Hanqing was about to marry Dong Ying's daughter, Song Ying's deputy is much better now, at least under the condition that Dao Hanqing respected Song Ying's deputy, Song Yingqing's deputy gradually gave Dao Hanqing face, and Dao Hanqing gradually became a qualified battalion general. Jiang Ning and Li Meng don't talk about it.

There is also an invisible one.

There were more than 400 people under the insurance of the knife that came back that year, and there were not many people who were alive and grateful. Or to put it this way, if Dao Hanqing is not angry, there may be no one to come forward for Dao Hanqing in the future. But Dao Hanqing is competing, and there will be more and more people who will come forward for Dao Hanqing.

There are few people who send charcoal in the snow, and there are many people who put icing on the cake, and this icing on the cake can also earn a good reputation for themselves.

These, even if they are placed on the table together, the Xiong family doesn't care.

But the question is, will the Xiong family inexplicably attack the three of Jiangning on behalf of a son-in-law? The people of the Dao family are not sober, and the people of the Xiong family are not sober?

There was also the policy of forts in the northwest and north of the Yue Dynasty.

There is a big difference between a family and a sect.

A large sect can often have more than 100,000 people, but the family, even if all the descendants of the family are counted together, it is impossible to reach this number. The Jiang family couldn't do it back then, and neither can the nine families now.

Why is it the same product?

In addition to the members of the lineage, direct line and concubine lineage, a family also has a large number of offerings, and various subordinate forces, including smaller families and some regimental organizations, are no less powerful than the sect, and they also have stronger forces, more manpower, and various industries.

There are two reasons why the Xiong family is invincible in Licheng. The first is to use their special status to trade with the desolate people.

However, the construction of various military forts one after another, blocking several major trade routes together, even if you can walk from the small roads, these rugged mountain roads undoubtedly add a lot of costs, and you have to avoid the training of the officers and soldiers of each battalion out of the fort.

The second is the secret correspondence with some bandits, and the construction of the fort will not make it impossible for the bandits to disappear, but it will greatly reduce their space for activities.

Undoubtedly, there is a bear family who has a headache now.

Therefore, this marriage is impossible for people from the Xiong family to hack the three of Jiangning.

The key is that the people of the Dao family are not sober, once they are related to the Xiong family, they think that they have a big backer to rely on, and they can do anything.

The news spread quickly, and at noon, Dao Hanqing rode a wildebeest from outside the city to the guard.

"Brother, why are you back?"

Eighteen forts, divided into four arms.

The four arms are not of the cross type, they are laid out along the various trade routes, not in a straight line.

The angles are also different, the east road is slightly southeast, the north road is slightly northwest, the south road is slightly southwest, not far, the west road is very close to the west, but also slightly to the southwest, so the southwest angle is the smallest, only more than 70 degrees, the southeast and northwest two degrees angle slightly more than 80 degrees, the northeast is a big obtuse angle, almost close to 120 degrees.

The distance between them is different, the road in the east and south is about 600 miles, the farthest is the road in the west, which is more than 900 miles long, and the mountain road in the north includes Shiliang Mountain, which also reaches more than 800 miles, plus the terrain is treacherous, so there are five military forts in the west and north respectively, and they are stationed in the more elite barracks.

The first battalion of the cantilever in the north is the fort near the Red Forest Plains, which is currently stationed by the battalion led by the Fu battalion general who has cultivated to a high level, and this battalion is not only a high Fu battalion, but also the officers and soldiers of each team are relatively strong, and Licheng has also arranged a platoon to assist in the defense.

The second battalion is the fort at the entrance of the southern end of Shiliang Mountain, and the officers and soldiers of the battalion of Dong Yingjun, Dao Hanqing's future father-in-law, are stationed.

The third battalion was a cavalry battalion.

The fourth battalion is the battalion of Dao Hanqing, this battalion is not powerful, and it is stationed in this cantilever in the north, which is somewhat arranged based on the relationship between him and General Dong Ying.

It is the fourth fort, and vice versa is the second fort. However, it is the second fort, which is more than three hundred miles away from Licheng, and the key is that they have not been stationed for a long time now, not only to train, but also to open up the wasteland for farming in the coming year, everything is busy, and at this time, Dao Hanqing suddenly returned, which made Jiang Ning a little surprised.

"Second brother, let's come out and talk. ”

The two came outside.

"Second brother, Dao Hanhe is going to marry the daughter of the Xiong family at the end of the year. ”

"I also listened to Guan Weishen in the morning, but I don't understand, why did Xiong Ming marry his daughter to Dao Hanhe?"

"Before I led the camp out of the city to build a fort, I heard about it, the Dao family wanted to marry the daughter of Youxiong Ming, but the Xiong family did not agree, and the old lady took out three shops with better locations under the advice of several uncles...... "Dao Hanqing said the location of the shop.

These three shops are not the grocery stores that the Jiang family bought, they are not only in a good location, but also have a large area, if they are sold, they can sell more than 400,000 ringing coins, and the annual income can exceed 100,000 ringing coins, it can be said that they are also one of the cash cows of the knife family.

The Dao family took out these three shops as a dowry, and the Xiong family was moved.

They hesitated for a long time, and after the Dao family promised a number of generous dowries, not long ago, the Youxiong family finally agreed to marry the two families.

"The old lady is really crazy. Dao Hanqing said angrily and melancholy.

What is the original foundation of the knife family? That is, a knife family fort, if it is not for the knife insurance, it will not be rated as a product at all.

Because of the military exploits insured by the sword, after the war, the imperial court gave a large number of rewards and forcibly designated it as the Eight Rank Family.

But over the years, the Dao family has not managed well, and they have only barely kept this reward. Those three shops are the most important of the reward.

In addition, the Ruyi liquor store is blocked by the mountain, there are not many residents, and there will not be much room for appreciation in the future. When Jiang Ning bought it back then, he didn't think about whether it would rise or not, but it was close to the city lord's mansion and close to his house, so he could take care of it.

But the three shops are in a much better position, and in the future as long as that terrible prophecy cannot be fulfilled...... No one in Licheng knew about this prophecy either. With the increase in population, several trade routes are becoming safer and safer, Licheng commerce will become more and more prosperous, and shops in good locations will inevitably have more room for appreciation.

Don't you want to think about the future of the Dao family?

The Xiong family agreed, and some of the forced qualifications were dropped, but they could get the employment of more than 400,000 ringing coins, plus the changes brought about by the matching order, and reluctantly agreed, but for the knife family, it was too worthless.

It's a marriage with the bear family, but it doesn't mean that they have climbed the big tree of the bear family, and their sons-in-law don't have too many!

Dao Hanqing couldn't understand the mentality of some people in the family.

"Brother, according to my guess, the old lady likes to tend to the flame, and many people have a tendency to tend to the flame, but there is a degree, and the old lady exceeds this degree. The Xiong family is the largest family in Licheng, and the old lady thought that by the big tree of their family, the Dao family could rise, but she didn't expect her father-in-law to agree. This has become the old lady's demon, and now she has paid some price, but this price is barely within the range that the Dao family can bear, you think it is not worth it, but the old lady thinks that it is as good as her wish. ”

"I became a guard counselor, and I also solved the problem of cultivation, Xiaomeng is the personal disciple of the elder of the division, what about you, not only became a camp general, but also gradually consolidated your status, and you are about to marry the little lady of the Dong family, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, if you do bad things, you are afraid that ghosts will knock on the door. With this joint relationship, they are not afraid of the three of us looking for trouble with them. ”

"What trouble can we get into them...... Xiaomeng won't look for it. Dao Hanqing said.

"Xiaomeng will look for it, but at most she will get back what your good brothers have eaten and drunk, as well as your family's tigers, some subordinates who have bullied Aunt Li, she wants to ask for justice, and what else can she do for the rest? The question is not what the three of us think, but what they think. ”

"Second Brother ......"

"I'll be careful, brother, you buy a little maid, and if anything happens, notify me immediately. ”

Jiang Ning was worried, and Dao Hanqing was even more worried, so according to Jiang Ning's idea, he bought a little maid who looked a little clever, and repeatedly instructed him before returning to the barracks.

But not the solution.

After the shift, Jiang Ning returned home, still thinking, in fact, in the final analysis, his own strength was not enough. Find a way...... The strategy in the case of insufficient strength is a castle in the air, and it will fall down as soon as it is pushed, and the ambush battle of Shiliang Mountain is the best proof of this. There's room for a quick upside – but don't people give you time to rise?

Jiang Ning took out the ring again.

Dao Hanqing led his subordinates out of the city to build a fort, and in the second half of the year, it was his turn to lead the battalion to defend it, but even if he came back, it was not a big problem, Li Meng also couldn't come every day, once every two or three days, it was enough frequent.

Therefore, Jiang Ning also took the time to practice the Forging Nerves, Ganglong Sixteen Styles, as for others, such as Shadow Wind Step, Moon Toad Fist, Moon Toad Knife Technique, and Luohua Sword, they can be taken out and cultivated in Zhengda Guangming, and even Jiang Ning also taught Dao Hanqing and Li Meng.

The progress of the Ganglong Sixteen Style is not fast, the reason is simple, it must be cultivated with the Yuan Blood Quenching Body Skill to be fast.

In fact, his cultivation speed was fast enough during this time, but the Dao family and the Youxiong family were related, which made Jiang Ning extremely uneasy. Among the three, Li Meng should not be a big problem, not only does she show a good cultivation talent, but she is also a personal disciple of the elder, and she and Dao Hanqing are not very easy to say. Especially himself, cultivation is the weakest one.

He looked at the buckets containing spiritual blood, because there was the blood of a monk in them, he had never thought of using it to assist in cultivation before.

The marriage between the Dao family and the Youxiong family gave Jiang Ning a sense of urgency, and he naturally thought of these spiritual bloods.

These buckets are not small, they are half a person high, some of them have more spiritual blood, some have less of them, and some of them have half a bucket, and they weigh at least a hundred pounds, which is much heavier than the spirit plate.

With a device, it's not a matter of coming out and going in when you get in with a thought.

Whether you take something out or put it in, you need enough divine sense, and at least a certain amount of mental power.

Even now, Jiang Ning had barely put some small things, such as Yuan Stones, or books into the Ring, but the Spirit Gathering Disk was pulled out and not put in.

I don't know if I can pull these buckets out.

He aimed at a bucket that contained the least amount of spiritual blood, and silently said in his heart: Come out, come out.

actually let him really pull it out again.

Undoubtedly, it was the help of the Jianjian Gang again, but poor Jiang Ning still can't be sure if it is the help of the Jianjian Gang.

This doesn't matter, once his cultivation catches up, what mystery will naturally be revealed.

He looked at the bucket in front of him, there was half a bucket of dark red treated blood, but he couldn't smell the fishy smell of blood, but there was a burst of medicinal fragrance in his nose.

It is also written in that book that there is not only blood, but also many valuable medicinal materials, which are then treated by special means, so that people can easily absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual blood into the body when they are immersed in it, so that Pei Yuan can quench the body.

Jiang Ning meditated on the cultivation methods written in the book again, took off his clothes, jumped into the bucket, and began to transport the Yuan Blood Quenching Exercise.

A violent but surging aura rushed straight towards the human acupoints, as if it was about to tear open the meridians. However, Jiang Ning was not surprised, these "spiritual blood" ingredients were composed of the blood of various high-level demon beasts and fierce beasts, and various precious elixirs, many of which Jiang Ning had never heard of. Jiang Ning endured the pain and continued to run the exercises, quenching the body and cultivating the yuan.

"It works so well...... If the effect of spiritual blood is a little stronger, maybe it will be able to break through the innate level in one go. ”

Unconsciously, Jiang Ning suddenly had this thought, and it became stronger and stronger, he picked up the ring again, injected spiritual power, and shouted: "Come out." ”

It seems that with the help of the effect of "spiritual blood", the corpse of the blood old demon was actually pulled out by him.

With the cultivation of the Blood Old Demon, whether it is the body or blood, it must be "full of aura", and if his blood is put into the bucket, the effect may be even better.

It's just that Jiang Ning didn't know that at this time, his eyes were shining with blood-red light......
