Lee House.

Since Li Ming was admitted to the top rank, the Li Mansion has been expanding, and the scope of the current mansion has long been several times larger than before.

All this is naturally due to Li Ming's fame, not only Linshan Town, but even other places around Linshan Town There are many landlords vying for refuge, so that the Li family's family property is getting bigger and bigger, and the money is naturally increasing.

With more money, the mansion naturally has more spare power, and without having to subsidize Li Ming, the places where this money can be used have suddenly become much more.

In the Li family's mansion, after Li Ming and his entourage returned, they first arranged the residences of the female dependents and the senior brothers, the uncle and the master and the four followers, during which they continued to distribute small gifts to the people who came to please, mostly sugar crisps and other food, followed by bathing and changing clothes for everyone, and when they were comfortable, they put on the banquet and called several important people up.

The twenty-six senior brothers and twenty uncles of the elder generation were arranged in one place alone, while Li Ming sat at a table with four followers, Wang Guangyun, Liu Wu, Liu Zhuang, and Zhao Xiu, Master Xu Jin, Senior Uncle Wang Hengliang, and Father Li Chenglin.

"Now there are 500 good sons and daughters trained in the family, and there are 3,000 villagers who are in constant contact, and each of them is a good man who can abide by the rules."

Waiting until the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have passed the five flavors, and he is tired from the journey, Li Chenglin said to Li Ming and the other people on the table with a smile on his face, this is not only for Li Ming to hear, but also for his brothers and uncles, the reason is very simple, no matter how close the person is, he also needs the confidence of the actual strength, and these soldiers and horses left by his Li family are a foundation for great things.

"In addition, there are ten martial arts who have reached the realm of second-rate martial artists, and all the heroes who have cultivated hard skills are now living in the village for a long time, and they have the heart to take refuge in you, and now the news of your return has come back, I am afraid that they can't wait to meet you, the champion of the imperial examination, and the military plane is waiting."

Master Li Chenglin looked at Li Ming with a smile after speaking, the meaning was obvious, now is undoubtedly the best time to meet them.

"I never thought that Uncle would have done such a big thing quietly, so I am afraid that the preparation of our army this time will be much easier."

Zhao Xiu on the side couldn't help but have shiny eyes when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile and speak.

"In the troubled times, the family does have to keep some more people to protect safety, and although these people are good sons, they may not be willing to join the army, in my opinion, the pro-soldiers can choose from more, and the ordinary soldiers and horses have to choose some of them, and the others should stay in the town."

Li Ming smiled, followed the opening, and muttered again after speaking: "Most of the army, and the pro-soldiers, still have to be openly recruited from the people, first, to give some people who really can't survive a way to live, and secondly, to avoid missing out on many generals who are dedicated to joining the army and have the talent to be soldiers." ”

"My son can rest assured, these people are all people who are bent on joining the army, and your father and I will only say such a number if we say hello in advance."

Hearing Li Ming's words, Li Chenglin couldn't help but smile and speak: "Now, in the entire Linshan Town, and even within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, there is a strong desire to join the army, and basically all of them are here, with sound limbs, intact body and normal intelligence, what you really have to worry about is how to choose the remaining 2,000 people, and whether there are enough 500 people with personal soldiers." ”

"As for the safety of the house, [Qingsongguan] is nearby, your father and I are in this city, if there is any trouble, you can flee to the mountains in time, there is [Qingsongguan] sheltered here, and there are some nursing homes on weekdays, why do you keep so many people?"

Li Chenglin opened his mouth with a smile on his face, and Li Ming raised his eyebrows in surprise after hearing this: "Doesn't my father have the qualifications of a general?" ”

"Hahaha, yes, yes, I think my uncle has the talent of a general!"

Wang Guangyun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"I can't say that if my uncle takes the martial arts exam, he can get a martial arts background?"

Liu Zhuang's eyes rolled, and he also said with a smile.

"It's almost time to get to the place, and it's cool to do this."

Liu Wu couldn't help but smile on his face, and said praisefully to Li Ming's father, Li Chenglin.

"Uncle is thoughtful, now that most of the five thousand soldiers and horses have been solved at once, even the pro-military camp has been settled, not to mention that there are these ten martial arts heroes as special troops, our task this time is much easier!"

Zhao Xiu showed a smile on his face, and couldn't help but speak.

"Hahaha, these little things are not worth mentioning, and I still learned from the content of the previous correspondence with Li Ming, what is it called, everything has to be taken one step and three steps to see out, five steps to predict ten steps, only in this way will it be smooth all the way when encountering things."

The successive compliments of several people obviously made Master Li, who had been busy with this matter, feel comfortable, he laughed twice on his face, and then said with a smile.

"If that's the case, then we'll be relaxed, then we only need to select a site to build a barracks, and then check and recruit people one by one, and then issue a wide notice, waiting for the rest of the people to make up for it, and I can also free up more time to visit the talents of generals and strategists, and make full preparations for future trips."

Li Ming couldn't help but smile on his face, and after finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows, and arched his hands at Xu Jin, the master who was always smiling and eating and drinking tea on the table, and his uncle Wang Hengliang: "Master, uncle, going to see these martial artists who are interested in defecting on the first day of coming back is beneficial to winning over feelings, so Li Ming will lose one or two of them first, and take the four brothers to have a look." ”

"Go ahead, if you go out of town, remember to come and call us along."

Xu Jin and Wang Hengliang waved their hands indifferently, and Xu Jin then said with a smile, with their current ability, as long as the small Linshan Town is in the town, no matter where they are, they can reinforce in time, but it is not necessarily under the changeable environment of Linshan Town, which is this reminder.

"Remember to whistle when you have something."

Wang Hengliang lifted the whistle hanging on his neck, and said with a smile, since the last time the capital was attacked, they have paid more and more attention to this simple and easy-to-use whistle, and they have attached great importance to it for a while, and even improved it.

Nowadays, the sound of the whistle is not only more obvious and harsh, but also spreads farther, and the material of the whistle has also been replaced with jade, which can use mana, making the sound more penetrating.

Don't say that it is the entire Linshan Town, even if you are whistling ten miles away from Linshan Town, you can hear it clearly.

Li Ming also knew the idea of establishing a special squad to supplement the strength of the masters to deal with those assassination masters, so they naturally thought of the role of this group of warriors for the first time, and on the premise of thinking of going together with Li Ming, they would naturally support Li Ming's thoughts and actions.

"I understand this, don't worry, Master, Uncle."

Li Ming smiled and nodded, and then got up from the table with Wang Guangyun, Liu Wu, Liu Zhuang, and Zhao Xiu. Li Chenglin also got up from the stool when he saw this, and arched his hand at Li Ming's master and uncle with a smile: "Those two masters, I will lose my company first, and I will make it up for you when the dinner is decided." ”

"Hahaha, it's okay."

The two waved their hands, and then with a smile on their faces, they gestured to the [Qingsong Guan] disciples sitting at the two tables next to them: "It's just right, they probably have a lot of questions to discuss with the two of us, and it will save trouble." ”

"Hahaha, uncles and brothers, you have to seize the opportunity."

Li Ming smiled when he saw this, and then arched his hand to his senior brother and those first-class uncles, and then turned around and left with his father Li Chenglin with Wang Guangyun, Zhao Xiu, Liu Wu, and Liu Zhuang from the main hall.

They left and did not go anywhere else, but rode straight to a compound in the middle of the town.

"These ten foreign martial artists are from the same family, and their master seems to be quite a good man in martial arts, called Zhang Hu, the iron arm bronze man, but unfortunately now the master has passed away, and only ten of them remain."

When he dismounted at the gate of the compound, Li Chenglin spoke in a low voice to Li Ming and the four followers beside him, and his voice was solemn: "Don't underestimate them, these ten people, each of them has cultivated [Iron Cloth Shirt] and has reached the second-rate realm by virtue of this kung fu." ”

"Outside of [Iron Cloth Shirt], some people practice Iron Head Gong, some people practice Iron Arm Gong, some people practice Iron Leg Gong, some people practice Iron Back Gong, some people practice Iron Waist Gong, some people practice Iron Crotch Gong, some people practice Iron Palm Gong, some people practice Iron Foot Gong, some people practice Iron Finger Gong, and some people practice Iron Rib Gong."

"It can be said that they are all in the inheritance of the Iron Arm Bronze Man Zhang Hu, and some people have cultivated three additional doors, and some people have cultivated five additional doors, and their combat effectiveness can be said to be very strong."

Before arriving at the gate, Li Chenglin was still explaining in a low voice, for fear that his son would despise these martial artists he found: "Such a martial artist with external skills, each of them has infinite strength, rough skin and thick meat, and quick reactions, isn't it exactly what the army needs?" ”

"What my father said is very true, I know the severity, and I must treat it well."

Li Ming listened to what Li Chenglin said, nodded carefully, and then said seriously, Li Chenglin relieved himself when he saw this, followed the door, and walked to the courtyard with Wang Guangyun, who was also a lot behind him and Li Ming.

"Master Li, you're here!"

When I got to the gate, I happened to bump into a manservant, and when I saw Li Chenglin coming over with a few people, I hurriedly greeted him, especially when I saw Li Ming, my eyes lit up: "I've seen the young master!" ”

"Well, the iron is big for them."

Seeing this manservant, Li Chenglin nodded, asked softly, and looked back at Li Ming while asking: "In order to allow them to concentrate on practicing, I specially arranged for them to summon people, some are responsible for planting vegetables and cooking, some are responsible for washing and serving food, some are responsible for sprinkling and chopping wood to burn pots, and some people are specially designed to help them cultivate." ”

"Well, that's good."

Li Ming nodded with a smile, and nodded to the servant again, the servant was very happy, and the corners of his mouth were about to smile, and then he hurriedly responded: "They are all practicing in the backyard, and they haven't come back yet." ”

"Well, go get busy with you."

Li Chenglin nodded, and led Li Ming and the five people through the continuous houses built in front, Li Ming noticed that there were sandbags, leather, hemp rope, wooden hammers and other tools to assist in practice.

"Liu Zhuang and Liu Wu, you are all good at cultivating external skills, and when you get to the place, you will have to check it and give me a try."

Li Ming glanced at the tools, then looked at the very wide courtyard and the room where he lived, thinking that his father had also made a lot of money to keep them, and then walked to the backyard and whispered to Liu Wu and Liu Zhuang behind him, Liu Wu and Liu Zhuang immediately nodded without a trace.

Li Ming was satisfied, Liu Wu and Liu Zhuang were definitely professional in terms of hard work, so these ten people naturally had to listen to their opinions.

Several people followed Li Chenglin and walked dozens of steps before reaching the backyard, to Li Ming's surprise, the backyard was actually a lake and a forest, and looking up at the woods where the leaves had long since dried up, ten shirtless strong men were roaring and practicing various martial arts.

Someone exhaled in the iron sand, and kept inserting his palm into it, and the palm that was infused with true qi was red. Some people were constantly beaten on the back with their arms outstretched by the servants with copper rods, some people were constantly hit in the fragile places such as their armpits under the ribs, some people were hit on the head with wooden sticks, and some people were kicking iron posts with their legs held by cloth.

Li Ming keenly noticed that during their cultivation, the true qi in their bodies operated in a peculiar route, so that their bodies could become stronger and stronger instead of being destroyed in such anti-attack training.

"It's kind of interesting."

Liu Zhuang and Liu Wu are experts in this, and they can see the doorway at a glance, and then seeing Li Ming looking at them, Liu Wu couldn't help but nod and speak: "Big brother, these people's practice methods are very doorways, internal and external integration, will not hurt the body and can greatly increase the power of external strength, you see that there is a boiled medicinal liquid in the barrel next to it, it is obviously specially inherited, and it belongs to the very advanced and excellent external skills in the martial arts!" ”

Li Ming only noticed these things after listening to what they said, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and nodded with a smile: "With your words, I will be stable." ”

Hearing Li Ming's praise, Liu Wu and Liu Zhuang both nodded embarrassedly, and then followed them with a straight face and looked at the ten of them.

"Tie Da, Tie Lao, Tie Lao, you see who is coming."

Li Chenglin shouted, and the ten people who were a hundred steps away from the backyard door in the distance reacted, only glanced at this side, and the next moment they all stopped practicing, and each of them really applied the medicinal liquid, and then sat cross-legged for a moment before changing their clothes and rushing quickly.

"But the military aircraft Marquis Li Ming, who advocated war against the Xiongnu, was in person?"

Before the sound arrived, the sound of ten people came from afar before they could get close, Li Ming nodded with a smile: "Exactly, Li just arrived at home to have a meal, and I heard that ten heroes are here, so I came to meet them!" (End of chapter)
