Came to the main hall of the Cao Mansion, and at this time, all the people who had the right to speak in the Cao Mansion gathered here.

The Cao family plus the head of the school, the group training, the general affairs, the steward, and the last Li Shou.

After Li Shou came, he was invited to the upper seat and sat with Cao Fang, Li Shou saw him so polite, and knew that Cao Fu must have asked him.

"Nephew Li Xian, when you arrive, our Cao family's deliberations will begin." Cao Fang is a middle-aged man about fifty years old, and he looks very burly when he has been practicing martial arts all year round.

His strength Li Shou has heard of it, and it is slightly inferior to Li Tang, but it is not much different.

Specifically, it should be the weakest of the eighth-level public vehicles or the strongest of the ninth-level five doctors.

"What did the head of the Cao family call me to discuss?"

"The virtuous nephew asked bluntly, I also said it bluntly, after the Huya Pass was lost, the green army began to enter the pass, and all the cities couldn't resist it, and our Xuangui City should be no exception. But now I have received news that reinforcements from our Zhou State will arrive in the near future, let us hold Xuangui City for a few days, even if we can't hold Xuangui City, we must also defend Caofu......"

"Wait, I didn't understand a little, why didn't you send reinforcements when there was Huya Pass before, but now that Huya Pass is lost, you send people over, is this news accurate?"

"This is related to the victory or defeat of the other main battlefields, and Cai Mijun's side won the victory, so he freed up manpower. Moreover, the Huya Pass side was not completely lost, and there were still several large strongholds that had not been breached. When the reinforcements arrive, the masters can also rush over, and if they can reoccupy the Tiger Prison Pass, they can just cut off the supply and turn the green army into a turtle in the urn. ”

"Ugh." Li Shou didn't know much about military tactics, but he could also hear that Zhou Guo was not without a backhand.

And because there are super masters in this world, sometimes the situation on the battlefield is more rapidly changing, and no matter how inferior the battle situation is, it may be possible for a first-level public warrior-level master to come over and turn things around.

"Then what are you asking me to discuss......"

"Shall we go, or shall we stay." Cao Fang got to the point, "These days, you have also seen that Cao Fu has been sorting out his belongings, but he has not left, and I am also hesitating......"

Next, Cao Fang began to explain the reason, and Li Shou also understood.

The Cao family didn't want to leave, because this kind of local wealthy family that lived on land relied heavily on local land.

Leaving the country means rapid decay.

And even if you leave now, you won't be able to come back in the future when you drive out the green army.

If they did not garrison their own territory, the laws of the Zhou State would not be strict, and the gentry would not be allowed to go and return, and the land would be returned.

And the local people will not be willing to do it - on weekdays, the youth army will run when they come, and now they want to come back?

The gentry also want to talk about the law and fame, and after the officials and the people are offended, they can't come back when they leave.

But if they don't leave, the people of the Cao family don't know if they can defend Xuangui City and Cao's house, and they can't wait for reinforcements.

That's why they wanted to ask Li Shou, after all, he was now the strongest combat power in Cao Mansion.

"Hmm...... I understand. ”

The Cao family is hesitating, this is a big gamble, a big gamble of "net worth" and "life".

Li Shou is an outsider after all, if he wants to leave, they can't leave him to live and die with the family, Li Shou doesn't keep it, and the Cao family will probably not stay.

If Li Shou stays, it's hard to say.

"Well, in Master Cao's opinion, how sure are you that this Xuangui City will be defended until reinforcements arrive?"

"With the addition of the soldiers of the Cao Mansion and the soldiers and horses of the counties and counties, it is only five or five."

"Then I suggest that it is better to defend the city." Li Shou's mind turned, and he said: "If you migrate, so many people and so many belongings, it is easy to be targeted by the Qingguo army, and it may not be safe on the road." And if the foundation of Cao Fu for so many years is ruined, not to mention you, I am an outsider, and I will feel unwilling. ”

"What does Li Xian's nephew mean?"

"If the head of the family doesn't dislike it, I will live and die with the Cao Mansion!"

Li Shou was impassioned on the surface, but his heart was full of his own calculations.

Migration is definitely not good for the students, and when you encounter a master or a youth army outside the city, there is a high probability that the first and third classes will be damaged.

And even if he didn't get in the way of his migration, he would have to turn back in order to earn points.

And staying behind is much cooler.

The Qing army besieged the city, and he relied on the geographical advantage to defend the city with the army, even if the outer city resisted for two days, the Cao Mansion could resist for one day, and it would be okay if he couldn't hold it in the end.

In three days, Li Shou had already earned enough points, even if he couldn't hold it in the end, everyone completed the task together and disappeared on the spot, and the curtain call was perfect.

Although this trick is a bit too despicable, the people of Cao Mansion are also watching people put dishes on the plate and have been using him.

You use me, and I use you, very "fair".

Besides, you did provide protection, and I did help!

Double fairness!

The only one who has a little real affection for him is Li Tang and Cao Muzhi, and if he has the strength to spare, Li Shou will definitely protect the two of them from dying.

As for the others, he couldn't care so much.

"Nephew Li Xian, I'll wait for your words!" Sure enough, as soon as Li Shou's voice fell, Cao Fang was excited.

Of course he didn't want to leave, he wanted Li Shou to stay and work hard, but it was difficult to speak, and now the two hit it off.

The strategy was set on the spot.

Don't go!

Next, Cao Fang also wanted to give a banquet to thank Li Shou for promising to give him land and property, etc., Li Shou was too lazy to deal with him, and he didn't want to waste time, so he directly shirked back.

The big war is imminent, and he wants to complete the last bit of "Wind Howling Gong".

If he still has time, he still wants to practice the second half of "Earth Xinggong".

Recently, I have been practicing "speed", and I don't have time to practice the cost of eating "defense".

Time is of the essence.

After finalizing the plan, Li Shou quickly went back and informed the students of his plans, and then went into retreat to practice.

……

Three days later.

Li Shou danced in the wind, his mentality, posture, and movement rhythm were integrated with the rules of the wind, and he lay on his back in the air, as if he was lying on his back on the water, slowly levitating.

And in the next moment, the wind went from extremely quiet to extremely moving, and the "water surface" where Li Shou was lying on his back suddenly turned into a howling wind, and he took off to a height of dozens of meters against the wind, and with a move of both hands, all the surrounding storms gathered into his hands, whistling and spinning in his palms.

Li Shou pushed out with a palm to the open space below, and the swirling storm hit the ground, and suddenly the sand and rocks flew away, and a ravine ploughed out by the wind appeared on the ground.

"It's done!"

Li Shou was suspended in the air, feeling the rules of the wind.

There is still a road ahead, but the cultivation method recorded in "Wind Howling Gong" has come to an end here!

He has completed this exercise.

It took him a total of about three months to practice this exercise thoroughly.

Converted to an ordinary person, it is equivalent to cultivating for more than ten years.

Moreover, this "ten years" is still a "ten years" of retreat, and I hardly sleep, except for eating and sleeping, I am all practicing.

There is no pass in the middle, there is no bottleneck, and there will be no stuck.

Therefore, the quality of this so-called "ten years" is also very high, those who can do ten years of penance must be those with great perseverance, and those who can do ten years without bottlenecks must be geniuses.

The two are indispensable, so that they can be compared with Li Shou's three-month penance.

This is the power of the "Great Late Stage", from the first mission, Li Shou has been paving the way for the later stage.
