After returning to the capital.

Of course Xu Sheng also met his mother Liu Fangfang.

Liu Fangfang was seventeen or eighteen years old when she gave birth to Xu Sheng. Now Xu Sheng is twenty-nine years old and Liu Fangfang is over forty years old.

However, because she has lived a life of luxury, although she is old, she does not look too old.

Now her position in the Marshal's Mansion is still lower than that of the First Madam Jing.

But life is relatively good.

In addition, she gave birth to two more children for Xu Huateng.

Only two children in nine years is actually not a lot.

This is also because Xu Huateng’s health is not very good.

This was because Liu Fangfang was favored. The first wife, Jing, also gave birth to two more children in these years, while Zhu did not give birth to any.

This day.

Liu Fangfang looked at the beautiful women in Xu Sheng's house and couldn't help asking Xu Sheng:

"Xiao Sheng, you said that you have collected more than one hundred women in the past year or so?"

"Yes, mother, what's wrong?" Xu Sheng asked.

"You made all of them pregnant in just one year? And about half of these women were only taken in by you in the last six months, right?" Liu Fangfang asked again.

"So what?" Xu Sheng asked puzzledly.

"Are you sure these children are yours?" Liu Fangfang finally couldn't hold it in anymore and said.

“???” Xu Sheng’s face was filled with black lines.

"Don't you know that you are raising a child for others?" Liu Fangfang said.

"..."Xu Sheng was speechless.

Of course, Xu Sheng actually understood that this was a normal suspicion. After all, ordinary people could not imagine how strong the physical strength of Xu Sheng, a half-step Martial Saint, was.

It is even more unimaginable that Xu Sheng has the little Taoist nun as a charging station. When he runs out of power, he can go to the little Taoist nun's ** to charge for a few hours and then he can be fully revived.

"Mother, I am a martial arts master! And I have the help of the fairy lady, so my body is different from that of ordinary people." Finally, Xu Sheng could only explain: "It's okay for me to stay up all night."

“???” Liu Fangfang was dumbfounded.

Of course, after she confirmed that these children were all Xu Sheng's, she smiled happily.

"You've been like this since you were little! If you don't make a name for yourself, you'll be amazing once you make a splash!" Liu Fangfang finally sighed, "It was like this when you were practicing martial arts! It's the same now when you're having a baby!"

Indeed, some members of the Xu clan privately criticized Xu Longsheng for violating ancestral teachings and not having children.

But 'Xu Longsheng' was a martial arts grandmaster, so it was normal for him not to be interested in women at the beginning of his martial arts training. In addition, given Xu Sheng's amazing achievements in the past, no one dared to say anything openly.

But now that Xu Sheng has a child, he has surpassed many of his clansmen again!

Even if we continue to have children at this frequency, what will happen in ten years?

Even Liu Fangfang couldn't imagine it.

In addition, Xu Sheng of course also met Xu Huateng.

Xu Huateng suffered a lot of injuries on the battlefield in his early years, and now that he is old, he has various illnesses.

Xu Huateng is eleven years older than Liu Fangfang and is already in his fifties.

In this ancient world, many people would have died by this age.

Plus Xu Huateng has quite a few concubines in his harem!

So now Xu Huateng looks much older than Liu Fangfang.

I kept coughing and felt very unwell.

Many people have even speculated when Xu Huateng might suddenly pass away.

"Father, why has your health become so bad?"

Xu Sheng couldn't help but frown and said, "When I left, you were still in good health!"

"I'm not your boy!"

Xu Huateng smiled, shook his head and said: "Although I am the commander-in-chief and control one-seventh of the power in the world, my own martial arts are only at the peak of the acquired stage. Now my body is no longer able to withstand it."

Xu Sheng asked the little nun if she had any way to treat Xu Huateng?

But the little nun shook her head and said that there was nothing that could be done about birth, aging, sickness and death.

Only Xu Sheng, with his extremely yang body, can refine the blood of the dragon.

Xu Huateng simply couldn't bear it.

Xu Sheng had no choice but to give up.

Xu Huateng asked Xu Sheng to join the army again!

After all, Xu Sheng said that he was wholeheartedly pursuing martial arts, but now Xu Sheng's martial arts has reached its peak.

At least in the eyes of everyone today, the Grand Master of Martial Arts is the limit of martial arts.

Xu Sheng arrived nine years ago.

So Xu Huateng asked Xu Sheng to enter the Xu family's power system to do things.

Of course Xu Sheng agreed.

He also confessed that his purpose of returning home this time was to fully support his family in its fight for the world.

He also briefly talked about his relationship with the fox demon Hu Xinfeng.

"Hu Xinfeng? I see."

Xu Huateng said: "No wonder the Chu family has been renewed and strengthened over the years! I was wondering where the Chu family found this extraordinary woman who has such great talent and can help the Chu family like this! It turns out that she is a thousand-year-old fox demon?"

Xu Sheng was surprised when he heard this.

I didn’t expect that Hu Xinfeng actually helped the Chu family become much stronger.

Before, Xu Sheng had not paid too much attention to the general situation in the world.

"It is said that she has the lost secret book of military tactics left by the previous dynasty's god of war, Wu Mu!"

Xu Huateng added: "So now the Chu army has indeed changed its spirit and energy! It is much stronger! So this should be because this monster has lived for a long time, and during this period, Wu Mu's secret military tactics fell into her hands by chance! According to what you said, she should have been helping the Chu family with all her strength since you two separated... Now it has been nearly two years! In this way, the world will change!"

Xu Sheng's expression also changed slightly.

Because this ebony is a god of war in the history of this world.

The reason why the previous Dynasty Dayong was able to unify the world.

This god of war deserves credit for this.

Although this man's martial arts skills were only acquired, he was a military genius. He led the troops in battle and won every victory, and no one could defeat him.

If Wu Mu were still alive, the Dayong Dynasty would not have collapsed.

And the military book that embodies this man's wisdom in military strategy now falls into the hands of Hu Xinfeng!

No wonder Hu Xinfeng had the confidence to say that he would help the Chu family fight for the world!

Although Xu Sheng heard Hu Xinfeng say that back then, he didn't take it too seriously.

After all, if any two monsters say they want to help a force fight for the world, they can win the world.

Those monsters would have ruled the world long ago.

But now it seems that this woman Hu Xinfeng is really extraordinary.

The reason why Xu Huateng said that the world will change.

It must be that Hu Xinfeng is still planning!

After all, Ebony's military wisdom is not magic, and it is not possible to create many things out of thin air!

Casting spells out of thin air can allow an army to sweep across the world.

The so-called art of war!

It’s about using troops!

To employ troops is to employ people.

It will definitely take some years to train the troops.

And now nearly two years have passed!

Perhaps the Chu family’s soldiers are almost trained.

"No wonder we have suffered more defeats than victories in the small battles between the Xu Clan and the Chu Clan over the years!"

Xu Huateng's face was extremely serious, and he said: "Your eldest brother Xu Longtao personally led the troops to face the Chu army three times, and was defeated every time."

That is why there are many rumors circulating in the Xu family that the young commander Xu Longtao is not capable.

Even after Xu Sheng returned, many people were saying that Xu Huateng would replace the young coach.

'Xu Longsheng' is coming back to seize the position of young marshal.

Xu Sheng had indeed heard some of these rumors recently.

The little Taoist nun who was following Xu Sheng also changed her expression.

Xu Sheng asked the little nun if she had any way to deal with it?

The young nun also shook her head and said that Hu Xinfeng was not using any magic!

Instead, use the upright military tactics of mankind!

What could she do? She didn't know the art of war.

Of course, if we can snatch Wu Mu's military book from Hu Xinfeng, that would be possible.

But Hu Xinfeng must be hiding in the power center of the Chu family now, and there is no chance that Xu Sheng and others will get Wu Mu's military book.

"Marshal, the young marshal is here!" At this time, Xu Longtao also came over to report on some matters.

after.

Xu Sheng leaves.

But unexpectedly, Xu Longtao quickly caught up with Xu Sheng and talked to him.

Xu Longtao took the initiative to mention his defeat.

The defeats he suffered against the Chu army several times have become a stain on him.

"Fourteenth brother, maybe I really don't have the ability!"

He smiled bitterly and said, "You should have been the young commander in the first place!"

Xu Sheng was speechless.

He didn't know what happened at the beginning, but he suddenly lost the position of young marshal.

"Since you returned, many people have been saying that father will replace the young commander!"

Xu Longtao said again: "Fourteenth brother, if father really wants to replace me with you, will you accept it?"

He actually asked this directly.

"Yes." Xu Sheng thought about it and answered frankly.

Afterwards, Xu Sheng mentioned the grudge between himself and Hu Xinfeng.

"Everything is for Xu's."

Xu Sheng said, "In fact, I am not sure if I can defeat the new Chu army trained by Hu Xinfeng, who is blessed with the military tactics of the legendary god of war Wu Mu, if I go to the battlefield! But if you can't do it, I will definitely want to try its power myself! Of course, I won't rob it. Everything depends on my father's arrangement. I believe that any decision my father makes is for the good of the Xu family."

"That's honest enough."

Xu Longtao smiled and said, "Fourteenth brother, you are always so honest. You were also very honest when you didn't want to be the young commander. You are still very honest now. Of course, I promise that I will not use any conspiracy to pressure you. It depends on what father does. But before father speaks, I will not give up on my own initiative."

He said: "I still don't accept Chu's army!"

Xu Sheng also smiled.

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

"We brothers don't kill each other!" Xu Longtao took the initiative to shake hands with Xu Sheng and said, "Everything depends on father's arrangement!"

"Okay!" Xu Sheng also nodded.

In fact, when Xu Sheng said those words, he was already prepared to be assassinated.

However, Xu Sheng now has the martial arts strength to become a half-step Martial Saint. As long as he is cautious enough, it will be difficult for him to be assassinated.

Although they are of the same clan, it is hard to say whether Xu Longtao will go crazy in the face of power!

Xu Sheng never dared to think that people were so kind.

If Xu Longtao attacks Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng might also fight back.

After all, if Xu Longtao is not capable enough, he should give way.

Because the current situation is not so optimistic.

The survival of the Xu family is the top priority.

If killing someone can bring a better appearance to the Xu family, it is not impossible.

Of course, since Xu Longtao said so, Xu Sheng naturally agreed.

That's right, Xu Sheng won't take the initiative to grab it! It all depends on how Xu Huateng arranges it!

If Xu Longtao attacked, Xu Sheng would naturally fight back, but if Xu Longtao did not attack, Xu Sheng would not fight back either.

It doesn’t matter if I’m not a young marshal.

All he had to do was help the Xu family gain the world, then sweep away the Chu family and capture the fox demon.

After parting with Xu Longtao.

Xu Sheng didn't feel so relieved.

Because he didn't expect that Hu Xinfeng actually had the lost military book of the God of War Wumu!

As a result, Xu Sheng really didn't have much confidence and said that he would definitely win if he played.

"My only advantage is that I'm a time traveler! I'm a time traveler from a civilization with a more advanced level of science and technology!"

Of course, Xu Sheng thought about it and said to himself: "In fact, I may not be better than the ancients in terms of cold weapon warfare wisdom. Not to mention better than the legendary god of war Ebony who is invincible in every battle! But I have the knowledge and life experience from the hot weapon civilization!"

After thinking about it.

Xu Sheng returned home.

So I started to make arrangements.

Send people to search for oil, gunpowder, etc.

He also tried hard to recall the chemical knowledge he remembered on Earth, set up a laboratory in the mansion, and found some relevant talents, hoping to see if he could improve the steelmaking level and thus increase the strength of Xu's equipment.

Of course, these actions will not produce immediate results.

It can only be said to be a kind of preparation.

Fortunately, even though Hu Xinfeng had Wu Mu's military tactics in hand, she still needed some years to train her troops.

Xu Sheng still has time now!

After that, Xu Sheng took out some books on military strategy that Xu had collected and studied them.

How did Wu Mu become the invincible god of war on the battlefield of cold weapons? Maybe he learned it, right? Xu Sheng also hurried to learn more about it, because he would have to go to the battlefield in the future.

Of course, Hu Xinfeng seems like a huge and terrifying time bomb that may explode at any time and sweep the world.

But the person Xu Sheng has to face now is not Hu Xinfeng.

The first thing he had to face was the turmoil within the Xu family.

Although I had a brotherly conversation with Xu Longtao that day.

Xu Longtao also made such a guarantee.

However, Xu Sheng was still assassinated half a month later.

Because Xu Sheng did not stop his plan of looking for women with spiritual roots, he would still occasionally summon some girls of appropriate age in the capital or other nearby cities, and then let the little Taoist nun use her magic power to sense them.

During this period, Xu Sheng actually discovered ten women with middle-grade spiritual roots!

After bringing these ten girls with spiritual roots back to the mansion, Xu Sheng immediately had each of them pricked with a needle to make sure that the blood flowing from them was normal.

This ensures that they are not painted skin spirits.

Because Xu Sheng has been searching for women with spiritual roots over the past year.

Xu Sheng felt that Hu Xinfeng might have noticed his behavior.

If Xu Sheng is Hu Xinfeng, then he might find some women with spiritual roots to assassinate him!

Therefore, the women with spiritual roots that Xu Sheng had taken in before were all local natives of the Xu family with clean family backgrounds.

Only accept it after confirming that there are no problems.

Of course, you also have to verify that it is not a painted skin spirit.

Because the Painted Skin Demon can live under other people's skin.

This characteristic allows it to pretend to be a woman with a clean family background.

As a thousand-year-old demon, it is natural for Hu Xinfeng to know some of the Painted Skin Demons!

What if she paid some price to ask the Painted Skin Demon to kill Xu Sheng?

Xu Sheng had to be on guard.

However, so far Xu Sheng has not encountered the Painted Skin Demon transforming into a woman with spiritual roots to assassinate him.

It may also be that Xu Sheng was too cautious. When Hu Xinfeng saw Xu Sheng's actions, she gave up the assassination plan.

Two of these ten women with spiritual roots moved to the capital from other places.

Originally, his background was not so clear, so Xu Sheng didn't want to accept him!

But she is a woman with middle-grade spiritual roots.

Xu Sheng currently does not have a single woman with mid-grade spiritual roots.

So I accepted it.

Of course Xu Sheng deliberately exposed his flaws, giving these women the opportunity to assassinate him.

Finally, that night, a woman with middle-grade spiritual roots couldn't help but take action.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that Xu Sheng had already reached the level of Half-Step Martial Saint, so it was naturally impossible for her to succeed.

Instead, he was directly countered by Xu Sheng.

"Who sent you to kill me?" Xu Sheng's face was gloomy.

This girl with spiritual roots would never tell anyone at first.

Until he was tortured by Xu Sheng.

She then said in a trembling voice: "The eldest master sent us here!"

Xu Sheng couldn't tell for a moment.

Was this woman with middle-grade spiritual roots sent by the eldest son Xu Longtao or Hu Xinfeng?

That night Xu Sheng went to meet his elder brother Xu Longtao.

But the eldest brother Xu Longtao looked innocent and was not too wary of Xu Sheng.

"Seventy percent, it might be Hu Xinfeng's doing!"

Finally, Xu Sheng made a judgment based on his intuition: "This woman has a very vicious plan!"

Hu Xinfeng should have noticed long ago that Xu Sheng was looking for women with spiritual roots, so he had already prepared some killers of women with spiritual roots.

It’s a pity that Xu Sheng was too cautious.

So she never did anything.

Until now!

The Xu family is spreading rumors everywhere that the young commander will be replaced!

Hu Xinfeng took action.

If successful, she can kill Xu Sheng directly!

If that fails, she can sow discord between Xu Sheng and Xu Longtao.

If the brothers fight each other, Xu's strength will inevitably be depleted.

"I also think it should be Hu Xinfeng."

The little nun said, "It's not easy to find a woman with a mid-level spiritual root, and you have to train her to be a killer! It will take at least half a year to prepare."

"That's where the eldest son Xu Longtao is!"

Mu Tianyi also said: "I don't think they would attack you, my husband, at this critical moment, right? If they were to attack you, they would probably wait for a while."

"anyway!"

Xu Sheng said: "No matter who made the move, I should thank them for sending me ten women with spiritual roots!"

Then.

Xu Sheng gave the order.

He asked his loyal maids to imprison and tie up these ten female killers with spiritual roots.

Take good care of your eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, and pay attention to body cleanliness.

But they are not allowed to move freely or touch external objects.

"You came to assassinate me, I should have killed you."

Xu Sheng looked at the ten women with spiritual roots who were tied up that day and said, "But who made me merciful?"

In fact, not all of these ten women with spiritual roots are killers.

But there was nothing they could do, since they had to rush there.

Hu Xinfeng should have let the two killers blend in with the eight normal women with middle-grade spiritual roots in order to confuse Xu Sheng.

"Now that you're here!"

Xu Sheng finally said: "Then stay and keep giving birth to children for me."

After saying that, Xu Sheng left. He did not directly want to have sex with these ten women with middle-grade spiritual roots.

Let them bear children for them.

In order to prevent Hu Xinfeng from hiding any poison on these women with spiritual roots.

So Xu Sheng decided to keep them like canaries for half a year.

After half a year, even if there is any poison in it, it should be completely metabolized!
