At the end of January, it was a day of heavy snowfall, and the mountains outside Daegu County were white, and there were no pedestrians on the official roads at this time, except for three men in black cloaks who braved the cold wind in the direction of the western suburbs of Daegu County.

The three are Shen Tao, Ji Yun and Song Zhe, who are responsible for training Minyong in Lianshan Village.

Ji Yun shook the snow on his body and asked, "Brother Shen, what did you say Gongzi suddenly summoned us to do?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm asking about the militia!"

Song Zhe said: "If you just ask about the militia and don't need to call the three of us to Zhuangzi at the same time, I think there should be other things!"

Shen Tao thought for a while and said, "Well, it makes sense, there should be other things." ”

Ji Yun said: "The northwest has been suppressing bandits, and Gongzi said that the training can't be locked up at home, you have to go out and fight a few games, will it be because you want us to pull the team to the northwest to train the troops?"

"It's also possible," Song Zhe nodded.

"Let's not guess, we will arrive in Zhuangzi soon, and the prince will naturally tell us when we turn around. Shen Tao said and quickened his pace, walking down the mountain road for hundreds of miles, he was still walking like flying, without the slightest hint of fatigue.

Ji Yun and Song Zhe strode to keep up, since they had eaten the spiritual rice specially prepared for them by Wei Wuxian in the past month, the physical fitness of the three of them was much stronger than before, and some of the original old injuries had fewer attacks after the winter, and their spirits were extremely full.

The three of them soon came to Zhuangzi, and hung a Spring Festival couplet in front of the door, which is said to be written by the new Daegu County Governor Dong Shuyan: on one side is 'good luck in the year arrives with spring', and on the other side is 'the four seasons of colorful clouds are rolling', and the horizontal criticism is 'all the best'.

Dong Huyan because of the meritorious service in raising grain and grass for Lingzhou City, he took over the post of Daegu County Commander who was transferred to the northwest Yanzhou Prefecture a year ago, although the grade was only raised by half a level, from the seventh grade to the seventh grade, but this half level is tantamount to stepping on another height for him.

Of course, Dong Shuyan knew who was behind the force, he had been in the position of Sihu in the army for nearly ten years, and he could not advance an inch, was it because he had no merit? In fact, there was no one above him to support him, and now in just a few months, Wei Wuxian has crossed the hurdle that he can't get over for ten years with a letter from his family, and there are really people in the court who are good officials!

At this time, someone outside Zhuangzi was sweeping the snow, and when he saw Shen Tao and the three of them, he threw down his broom and ran over and said, "The three adults are here!"

Shen Tao glanced at the man, it turned out to be Yuan Sihai, a powerful confidant under Ling Molin's subordinates, and said with a smile: "Sihai, why are you clearing the snow outside, and the other people are there?"

Yuan Sihai is a short young man, he smiles when he sees people, he is quite popular in Zhuangzi, and he also said with a smile on his face at this moment: "Everyone else is busy preparing for the New Year's festival, and the steward asked me to wait for the three adults here." ”

Shen Tao said: "Okay, take us to see Gongzi!"

"Three adults come with me!"

Yuan Sihai walked in front to lead the way, his pace was neither fast nor slow, and he always maintained a distance of one step from the three of them.

Wei Wuxian's house is in the east courtyard, and there are two overseas Chinese girls living next to them, these two are the gifts that the Evil Yu King gave to He Xinyin at the beginning, and they are still perfect.

Wei Wuxian didn't have the heart to think about that aspect at the moment. Besides, with his status as the seventh son of Yanwangfu, what kind of beauty can't he get, of course, he won't do anything bloody to the two weak women, and he will keep it aside, and when he is bored, he will sit and drink a cup of tea and relax, which is also a kind of fun.

When Shen Tao and the three came, he rested his head on the lap of a beauty, listening to another beauty caressing the qin, and the clear and melodious sound of the piano could make his soul in a state of peace and tranquility, which had a good effect on warming the soul.

"They're coming!"

The corners of Wei Wuxian's mouth curled suddenly, he sat up, and when he walked out of the courtyard, he happened to see Shen Tao and the others coming from the path.

"Childe!"

"It's hard work, go in and talk again!" Wei Wuxian smiled.

Entering Wei Wuxian's courtyard, several people sat down, and Yuan Sihai took out the cloak for the three of them and arranged for the little maid to serve tea.

Wei Wuxian said, "How is it, is the situation over there okay now?"

Shen Tao said: "It's not bad, the militia now has 516 people, after nearly two months of training, now their physical fitness and basic formation have been greatly improved, and it is expected that they will be able to barely compete with the county soldiers in the county in another three months." ”

Wei Wuxian nodded, it was not easy to have the same strength as the county soldiers in half a year, which required Shen Tao and the others to put in enough energy.

"Okay, just follow your training plan, I came to you this time because I have something to discuss with you. ”

Shen Tao got up and arched his hand: "If the son has something to order, the next three dare not obey!"

Ji Yun and Song Zhe also got up and echoed without a trace of hesitation.

Wei Wuxian motioned for them to sit down, waited for the maid to serve tea and left, and said, "This matter is a bit risky, don't be in a hurry to express your position, listen to me first, and then reply to me after thinking clearly." ”

Shen Tao said: "Son, please speak, we will listen!"

Wei Wuxian said: "During this time, I asked you to use the rice I provided as the staple food, and now it has been a month, how do you feel?"

Shen Tao and the three of them glanced at each other, and Shen Tao said: "My subordinates feel that since eating the rice left by the son, the mental state and physical fitness of the whole person have been significantly improved, even after the previous winter, the original old injury attack is not so bad!"

Ji Yun and Song Zhe said: "We are the same!"

Shen Tao said: "My lord, what is the difference between this Mi Fei?"

Wei Wuxian smiled and said: "Of course, this is the spiritual rice eaten by the monk, which contains the pure vitality of heaven and earth, the monk takes the spiritual energy that can absorb it, and ordinary people can improve their physique and prolong their life if they take it regularly." ”

Shen Tao and the three of them all knew that it was a good thing, and at this time, after listening to Wei Wuxian's explanation, they realized that they were still underestimating, it was a treasure of the immortal family, and they said in panic at the moment: "Childe, how can you use such a good thing for your subordinates, it is not a waste of it, it is better for Childe to keep it for his own use!"

"I have my reason for using nature for you, and it is also the reason why I am called here today, and you also know that I have cultivated since I was a child, although my ability is low, I also know some ways to cultivate and refine my body. ”

Shen Tao and the three of them had long known that the son in front of them was not only a strange person, but he could also kill the enemy with a sword, not an ordinary person, although they had already guessed in their hearts, listening to Wei Wuxian's own words at this time, they verified what they thought in their hearts.

"This battle with the Northern Barbarians, I don't know if you have noticed that the physique of the Northern Barbarians is far stronger than our Great Xia Soldiers, which is related to their hunting in the wasteland and exercising since childhood. If you still train the people in the army in the same way as before, then you will never be able to compete with those Northern Barbarian elite soldiers, so I plan to teach a body alchemy technique to improve their physical physique! However, this body alchemy technique is deduced by me based on a secret art, and I don't know if it is suitable for ordinary people to cultivate, so I specially summoned you here this time. ”

When Shen Tao and the three of them heard this, they understood what Wei Wuxian had summoned himself to do here, and Shen Tao said, "I am willing to experiment!"

Ji Yun and Song Zhe also said: "We are also willing to give it a try!"

Wei Wuxian smiled and said: "Don't panic, the three of you are the backbone of the militia group, you can't take risks and try it together, select one person to select ten trustworthy soldiers to test together, and if the effect is okay, then promote it to the whole army." ”
