Just from the momentary look of confusion on Senior Sister Shan’s face, she probably didn’t notice anything unusual.
"The Qi and blood in my body are special. I have practiced the Blood Evil Art and added the Spirit Snake Fist. With the combination of the two, the Qi and blood in my body are several levels stronger than those of ordinary blood refining masters."
So it’s normal that Senior Sister Shan didn’t notice anything unusual.
The man last night was naturally tied up and thrown over by Xia He. He was also a disciple left over from the Lingshe Boxing Gym and knew a lot of inside information.
Ever since he burned down the martial arts school, the remaining disciples either disappeared or went into hiding.
However, there were still one or two fish that slipped through the net and were easily found by Xia He.
"We have found the person. It shouldn't be difficult for Senior Sister Shan to force out something."
Thinking of this, Xia He was in a good mood.
When I arrived at the entrance of the military camp, I heard a noisy and fierce quarrel as soon as I approached. I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of soldiers gathered in a circle, talking excitedly and arguing about something.
Xia He was a little curious. After he came closer, he gently patted Erpang who was watching the fun and asked, "Erpang, what are they talking about?"
Er Pang turned around and saw that it was Xia He. He immediately leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Hey! Early this morning, the governor sent someone over to give an order..."
"We will march across the Great Wall in the early spring and take the initiative to attack."
Xia He looked surprised, which meant that he would no longer adopt his previous defensive strategy.
There were only a few hundred military households in the garrison. Even if the military slaves were included, there were only a few thousand people at most.
Although the elite barbarians led by Wanyan Bi are not here now, some of the barbarians who remain here are very fierce.
Once they voluntarily give up their advantage and rush outside the city wall, the barbarians will emerge from anywhere to launch an attack.
Not only will it be easy for our retreat to be cut off, but we may not even be able to keep up with the supplies. We may not even be able to see the shadow of the barbarians in the end, and we may be trapped to death!
The more Xia He listened, the more puzzled he found it, so he went straight to Captain Wang to ask him what he thought.
It was just that Captain Wang frowned, and although he didn't curse like the others, his expression was also very ugly.
In order to resist the invasion from the barbarians in the south, the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty issued an edict more than a hundred years ago, ordering all the people of the Qin Dynasty to work together to build this magnificent Great Wall.
This Great Wall is not just a simple, lonely city wall. It is actually a complete and tight defense system with the city wall as the core, combined with a large number of cities, barriers, pavilions and benchmarks.
These components are closely connected and complement each other. Once the enemy is detected, they can quickly transmit alarm information to friendly forces by lighting smoke signals, so that timely response measures can be taken.
In this way, even if only a very small number of troops are stationed here, they can still exert extremely powerful defensive power, making it difficult for the enemy's horses to cross the line.
Because of this, Wanyan Bi did not dare to easily dispatch the main elite troops of the barbarian army to this place to launch an attack.
After all, facing such a solid line of defense and a complete defense system, even if they have the strongest strength, they may not be able to get away with it.
The territory of Daliang is almost entirely surrounded by steep mountains, and the Great Wall just covers the main attack points of the barbarians.
Therefore, almost everyone initially thought that in order to wipe out the barbarians, they would go to the Great Wall to garrison, and then communicate with the surrounding thousand-household offices through wolf smoke signals. Once they found any traces of the barbarians, they would light the wolf smoke signals and then dispatch troops to encircle them in one fell swoop.
"We have done this in previous years. If we command properly, we may be able to achieve results."
The barbarians plundered the Central Plains, burned, killed and looted in order to survive, and they did the same to resist.
"But the governor's move... is too aggressive."
Xia He stared at Captain Wang's expression.
This is probably not just recklessness, but stupidity, right?
That's strange.
Was this position of General Manager bought?
How dare he alone issue such a ridiculous military order?
Obviously, Captain Fan also nodded in agreement.
Xia He had only been reading military books for a few days, but he could tell at a glance that such an action was absolutely not feasible, and if not handled properly it might even lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
Captain Fan has been in the army for many years, it is impossible for him not to see the clues!
In this case, there is only one possibility left - they clearly did it on purpose.
Thinking of this, Xia He couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that they intended to let these soldiers go and die in vain?
If so, what benefits can be gained?
Xia He couldn't help but connect it to the fierce infighting between the current crown prince and the generals of the vassal states.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always attempted to reduce the expenditures of the local governors and the military power they hold.
If the barbarian enemies happened to invade at this time, the imperial court would inevitably have to provide assistance and support. Not only would it fail to reduce the number of enemies, but it would have to further increase its support for the vassal states.
Even if they unfortunately die on the battlefield in the end, what loss will it be for the power-struggling officials?
Xia He couldn't help but curse in his heart.
This damn General and Captain Fan are totally inhumane!
"But...if we can really know the exact location of the barbarians, and pounce on them to annihilate them in one fell swoop, maybe we can succeed?"
Captain Wang gave a bitter smile and could only comfort Captain Fan and the General Manager that this was their plan.
"You must break through the bone refining process within three days..."
Xia He felt a little regretful.
If the governor had been killed earlier, there wouldn't have been so many troubles.
In the next two days, Xia He practiced desperately.
The realm of bone refining is more complicated than skin refining and blood refining, and is divided into four levels: tendons, bones, skin and marrow.
With each breakthrough, the bones become stronger, until they become as strong as steel.
Xia He's muscles were covered with sweat in the sun, and he felt numb all over.
With the in and out of the White Ape Breathing Method, this numbness will gradually become more severe.
Ordinary people probably can't endure this kind of pain for long.
Therefore, ordinary warriors who try to refine their bones may spend at most one hour a day, while those with strong natural bones may need one or two more hours.
But Xia He is different. His blood and energy are vigorous and strong, and he practices this for at least five or six hours a day.
And the closer you are to a breakthrough, the less impatient you should be. You must completely polish and solidify your foundation.

In the mountains and forests, Shan Xiong released a carrier pigeon in a secluded place. After staring for a while, he did not walk towards the town.
"There's no entertainment in this town. I'm so bored. Why don't I go to the mountains to see if there's anything good? It's said that strange beasts have appeared there..."
My sister won't blame me for being lazy for just half a day, right?
Thinking of this, Shan Xiong's face became excited. He quickened his pace and headed deep into the forest.
