Li Xiaowan took a leave of absence, temporarily entrusted the affairs of the general to the deputy captain Lan Xinyi, and left Zhu Xiaoqi in the Li Mansion in the name of special training. At this time, there was only half a month left before the training camp in the Xishan Exercise Ground, and she immediately taught the Shenglong Decision to Zhu Xiaoqi.

The Li family's exercise was too advanced for a person who had no cultivation foundation, and it took Zhu Xiaoqi three days to reluctantly memorize the mantra completely. And the subsequent cultivation became a process that made Li Xiaowan constantly go berserk.

"Xiao Qi, I asked you to try to swallow spiritual power, what are you doing lying on the ground like a toad?"

"Can you memorize the mantra backwards? Uncle, are you cultivating backwards? Isn't it? Then why is it that after a week has passed, you don't even see the shadow of spiritual power in your body?"

"What? Do you think there may be stones in your body? I'll get you big! That's obviously the Earth Spirit Core!"

"Are you lying looking for inspiration? Do you want to tell me that you still have a habit of snoring when you are looking for inspiration?"

In the practice room, Li Xiaowan's sighs of anger, disappointment, or depression echoed every day, and what responded to her was Zhu Xiaoqi's confused or honest smile.

A week later, Zhu Xiaoqi was still wandering shyly outside the door of cultivation, and there was no trace of spiritual power in his body. The cruel reality made Li Xiaowan a little disheartened, and she once again doubted the results of the spirit test. She invited Zhao Wuchang outside the practice room and asked him to come and see this "genius" in person.

"Xiao Wan, there is no need to doubt the results of the spirit test. After you left, I found someone to try it, and there was nothing wrong with the psychic meter. Zhao Wuchang looked at Zhu Xiaoqi, who was meditating quietly in the practice room, and frowned.

"Shenglong duel, he also turned his back like a stream. What kind of thing is this situation now?" Li Xiaowan looked puzzled.

"Don't be discouraged, and don't be impatient. Zhao Wuchang comforted, "I actually wanted to remind you a long time ago that since there are many abnormalities in his body, it is very likely that his cultivation will not be smooth sailing. I didn't expect to be right. ”

Li Xiaowan was worried: "Uncle Zhao, the recruit training is about to begin, and there is not much time left for him." ”

Zhao Wuchang said indifferently: "I will try to disqualify him." ”

Li Xiaowan looked at him in surprise: "What do you mean, don't let him participate in the competition?"

Zhao Wuchang nodded: "This matter is not trivial, you and the princess are probably thinking too simply." His Majesty's move may want to test the reactions of all parties, Xiao Qi's identity is special, and it is gratifying to win, but if he loses, the consequences are difficult to predict. ”

"Since he is a good seedling, we have to block the wind and rain for him and give him the time and space he needs to grow!" his eyes looked deeply at Zhu Xiaoqi.

"Okay. Then it's troublesome Uncle Zhao. Li Xiaowan agreed with his words. It's best not to get involved in royal affairs. And the first time Zhao Wuchang did something so actively, it made her feel very gratified. Zhu Xiaoqi's cultivation was fruitless, but his appearance invisibly affected Zhao Wuchang, which was a good thing.

"If you can't do it quickly, don't push him too hard. Zhao Wuchang finally admonished.

"I see. ”

Zhu Xiaoqi returned to the room, and the old servant Li An walked in with a bowl of hot chicken soup.

"Young master, drink it while it's hot, make up for your body! After drinking, I'll go and serve it to you again!" he smiled and handed the bowl to Zhu Xiaoqi's side.

Young master, it was Li Xiaowan who ordered them to call it so. Because Zhu Xiaoqi is now not only Li Mubai's righteous son, but also the only male in the Li Mansion. However, Zhu Xiaoqi felt a little weak when he heard this. It feels like a mud bodhisattva, even though it is gilded on the surface, it is still a mud tire in its bones.

"Thank you!" Zhu Xiaoqi took the bowl and drank it.

Li An stretched out his hand to take the empty bowl: "I'll go and serve another bowl to the young master." ”

"No, that's enough. If you make up for it, I'll get fatter. ”

Li An said happily: "At your age, it is the time to grow your body, what are you afraid of if you are a little fat!

"Who used to live in this room?" asked Zhu Xiaoqi casually.

"It used to be the room of the second master Li Mubai. Those books are all what the second master usually likes to read, young master, you have nothing to do and flip through more. Li Ang sadly pointed to the bookshelf in the distance.

"Hmm. ”

"Then the young master rest, I'll bring you dinner later. ”

After Li An left, Zhu Xiaoqi walked to the bookshelf and raised his eyes to sweep it. There are hundreds of books on the antique bookshelves, such as "The Essentials of the Art of War", "The Art of Command", "The Way of Generals", etc., all of which are related to military affairs.

"It seems that my father-in-law is really not idle!" Zhu Xiaoqi casually took out a copy of "Mainland Classic War Examples" and sat down at the desk to look at it.

"No, no, how can this battle be fought like this! This is really incompetent, killing the three armies!"

As a general, how can you be so ignorant of cherishing the lives of soldiers?"

"Stupid! Soldier, treacherous! You should have deceived him a long time ago, tricked him and harmed him! You are still poor and particular in front of the enemy, and if you don't lose, whoever loses!"

......

Zhu Xiaoqi held the book, sometimes sighing, sometimes covering the volume and groaning, sometimes frowning and pondering. Those past battles reappeared in his mind one by one. He traveled through history, patiently and meticulously searching the bloody battlefields for details that could change the outcome of the battle.

"There are so many battles that I think can be won, why did I lose in the end?" After closing the book in his hand, Zhu Xiaoqi fell into confusion.

That night, he didn't sleep. He read at night, browsed all the books on the shelves, and briefly learned about the history of the continental war and the military thinking of various families. He discovered something that shocked him: he seemed to have become a heretic, and his perception of war and operational thinking were out of step with the tide of the times.

A crazy idea began to sprout in his heart.

"Maybe the path of joining the army is really suitable for me!" Zhu Xiaoqi, who was struggling with the fruitless cultivation of his cultivation, had a long-lost smile on his face.

"What about Xiao Qi?" In the morning, Li Xiaowan walked into the restaurant and didn't see Zhu Xiaoqi, so she asked Li An, who was having breakfast.

"Miss, the young master read a book last night, and only lay down to rest in the morning. ”

"Reading a book?"

"Hmm. Just the books left by the second master. The young master can really endure hardships, and he is not idle at night when he practices during the day!"

Li Xiaowan raised her eyebrows and smiled when she heard this. This kid is kind of interesting.

"Then let him sleep. After he gets up, you let him rest well, and tomorrow I will ask Xinyue to take him around. One more thing, remember to remind him that his identity is to be kept secret for the time being. ”

"Yes, Miss!"

The next day, Lan Xinyue came to Li's house early and took Zhu Xiaoqi out.

"It is true that a man is clothed and a horse is saddled. Lan Xinyue looked at Zhu Xiaoqi, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a radiant face, and said with a coquettish smile. She suddenly found that this kid was a little fatter, but he was actually quite handsome.

"Isn't I handsome in a military uniform?" said Zhu Xiaoqi with a smile. took off his military uniform, without the restraints of his superiors and subordinates, chatting with beautiful women suddenly became a pleasant thing.

"Your military uniform seems to be too tight, but it still looks good!"

"Thank you for not saying I was too fat. Zhu Xiaoqi grinned, "However, I think you are more beautiful in military uniform!"

Lan Xinyue turned in a circle slightly, and the white dress danced in a graceful arc in the air. "The skirt doesn't look good?"

"It's good-looking, but it's ......" Zhu Xiaoqi smiled, his eyes wandering over her.

"But what?"

"Lose the curved feeling when wearing a military uniform!" Zhu Xiaoqi ran away after speaking, leaving a smug laugh all the way.

"Zhu Xiaoqi, are you itching?" Lan Xinyue was ashamed and chased after her.

After walking for about ten minutes, the two left the deserted Zhongyi Street and came to the bustling Silver Leaf Avenue. Although it was only more than seven o'clock in the morning, the street was already full of traffic, people came and went, and it was a prosperous scene.

"It's so magnificent!" Although he had seen the scenery of Silver Leaf Avenue when he was riding in the carriage, standing on the street at this time, looking at the high-rise buildings and shops on both sides of the road, looking at the gorgeous street lamps and exquisite landscapes, Zhu Xiaoqi couldn't help but admire.

"Of course. Silver Leaf Avenue is the commercial center of Haiyue City, and Haiyue City is one of the most prosperous cities in the entire Western Continent!" Lan Xinyue said, pointing to the tall buildings on both sides of the street, "People who can own a residence and a shop in this neighborhood are either rich or expensive!"

"So good?" Zhu Xiaoqi smacked his tongue. He turned his head to look at the Great General's Mansion behind him.

"Don't look at it. Lan Xinyue knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "To be able to have a mansion covering an area of dozens of acres in a land area where every inch of land is valuable, there is only the Jiangmen Li family in the history of Tianlong." This is the royal family's favor for the Li family, and it is also the glory that the Li family enjoys exclusively!"

"How much is that land worth now?" Zhu Xiaoqi blurted out. After asking, he wanted to slap himself twice. You are now the young master of the Li family, and you have to live for the lintel of the Li family, not the land of the Li family!

"Qianqian Qianqian, what do you know besides money?" Lan Xinyue shook him with a roll of his eyes.

Speaking of money, Zhu Xiaoqi's face changed. Li Xiaowan, Li An, including himself, have forgotten that he even has a copper plate on his body...... Isn't it too beautiful to go shopping with a beautiful woman like this? Grabbed his face and threw it into the trash can next to him, he moved to Lan Xinyue's side, and asked in a low voice, "Do you bring any money?"

"Bring it!" Lan Xinyue patted Xiao Man's waist, "What do you want to buy?"

Zhu Xiaoqi smiled awkwardly: "Just bring it." I don't want to go to the overlord meal at lunchtime. ”

"Miss Ben has a treat today, tell me what you want to buy. Lan Xinyue smiled heartily.

Zhu Xiaoqi was slightly depressed: "What the hell, why did I become a soft eater?"

The two walked and chatted, and from time to time walked into the shops on both sides of the street. The spirit stone gave birth to the industrial civilization of the Firmament Continent, and the industrial civilization brought about the vigorous development of commerce. In these shops, Zhu Xiaoqi saw special goods from other countries on the mainland.

Walking and walking, Lan Xinyue suddenly couldn't walk. Zhu Xiaoqi looked up, and the shops in front of him were all selling jewelry.

"I don't have any money, but I have time to watch with you!" Zhu Xiaoqi said cheekily.

"Okay, then accompany me to Dayang Jewelry!" Lan Xinyue raised her hand and pointed to a shop in the distance.

"Welcome!" Two beautiful young girls smiled and bowed at the door of Dayang Jewelry Store, and one of them led them into the store.

A piece of jewels dazzled Zhu Xiaoqi's eyes. The handsome guys and beautiful waiters in the store made his eyes shine even more.

"There's a good way to do business!" he said in his heart. The praise of a handsome guy can prompt a hesitant female customer to dig into his pocket, and when a beautiful woman stops there, the male customer often becomes atmospheric.

Lan Xinyue: "I want to see the latest spirit stone jewelry." ”

"Okay, both of you, please come with me. The beautiful waitress led the two of them to the innermost counter.

At the counter, a few fashionably dressed guests are looking down and picking out accessories. One of the girls with long hair turned her head by chance and was surprised when she saw the two of them.

"Xinyue!" she waved excitedly at Lan Xinyue.
