Shan Xiong took the lead and stabbed Xia He's chest with his long spear like a dragon with fierce momentum.
However, Xia He was not in a hurry. He gently flicked the spear in his hand and dissolved Shan Xiong's attack into nothingness.
Shan Xiong was shocked and thought to himself, "He really has some skills!"
He did not dare to be careless and attacked again with his gun. The gun shadow was as fast as the wind and each move was fierce.
However, Xia He's spear skills were as smooth as flowing water, and every move just resolved Shan Xiong's attack just right.
After a few moves, Shan Xiong felt the pressure doubled and became more and more shocked.
"How is this possible? How can his spear skills be so proficient? It has only been a few days, and he has already mastered the Xuanwu Overlord Spear to this level!"
Shan Xiong's heart was filled with shock and the rhythm of his shooting became disrupted.
Seeing this, Xia He smiled slightly and suddenly raised the spear in his hand. Shan Xiong only felt a huge force coming, and the spear in his hand was actually picked up and flew out, and stuck heavily into the ground. There was an exclamation around him.
Shan Xiong stood there in a daze, his face flushed, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Xia He put away his spear, walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Brother Shan, thank you for letting me win. Let's just call it a draw and not hurt the relationship."
However, Shan Xiong suddenly waved his hand and said loudly:
"If you lose, you lose! I, Shan Xiong, am not the kind of person who can't stand losing! Xia He, you are better than me, I admit defeat!"
After he finished speaking, he actually clasped his fists in salute and shouted in a muffled voice, "Senior Brother Xia!"
The call of "brother" was so clear and crisp that it immediately caused laughter from the people around. The veterans praised him:
"General Xia, your marksmanship is truly amazing!"
Two captains among the 3,000 cavalrymen of Yeluohe came over.
They had followed Xia He into the tent earlier, and now when they saw Xia He competing with Shan Xiong, they stopped to watch.
Both of them were masters at the level of refining internal organs. They could tell at a glance that Xia He’s strength had already reached perfection in refining bones and he was only one step away from refining internal organs.
One of the thousand households stepped forward and asked curiously:
"General Xia, are you ready to refine the dirt?"
Xia He nodded and said calmly:
"That's right. However, I haven't found the right method to refine my internal organs yet."
The thousand households heard this and laughed:
"How difficult is that? We in the Xuanwu Camp have a special method for refining internal organs. General Shan said before that he would take you in and called you his junior brother, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to teach you in advance."
After he finished speaking, he took out a thin booklet from his arms and handed it to Xia He.
Xia He took the booklet.
[Skills: Internal Refining. Top-notch. Xuanwu Internal Refining (Not yet started)]
Senior Sister Shan mentioned this before.
After joining the four major camps, the martial arts I learned were no longer as common as in ordinary teams.
"The martial arts of the Xuanwu Camp are almost all fierce and domineering, and are extremely suitable for charging into battle!"
"The inner furnace formed after refining the internal organs also has different qualities. The Xuanwu Camp's internal organ refining chapter can at least produce a medium-quality 'inner furnace'!"
"If you have good talent, a high-quality 'Inner Furnace' won't be a problem."
The captain waved his hand, took out a small bottle from his bosom, and handed it to Xia He: "There are three 'Spirit Fire Quenching Organ Pills' in it, which are specially used for refining the organs.
After taking it, the pill will turn into a ball of spiritual fire, tempering your internal organs.
When you are able to form a fire furnace in your body, you will have truly entered the realm of internal organ refining."
Xia He smacked his lips and wanted to refuse.
"This pill costs twenty taels of silver?"
According to the resource allocation of the Xuanwu Army, an ordinary captain of the Xuanwu Camp can only receive ten "Spirit Fire Quenching Pills" a month.
"I am old now. It is useless for me to take this medicine. Isn't it a waste? That's why I have kept it."
"Don't be so hypocritical. It's a blessing for our Great Qin to have a martial arts genius like you!"
…
…
Deep in the imperial city, inside a magnificent palace.
A man in a python robe was walking slowly along the garden path. His face was as white as jade, and his eyes and brows showed a hint of coldness and majesty.
Although he looks young, his deep eyes seem to see through everything. It is obvious that he has been in a high position for a long time, and his every move reveals the royal demeanor.
He was none other than the Crown Prince of the Qin Dynasty—Qin Zhao.
Next to him, there was a little girl in an apricot-yellow dress, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with lively eyes and eyebrows, pouting and complaining: "Royal brother, why are all the flowers in your garden withered? There is no interest at all!"
Qin Zhao smiled slightly when he heard this, and reached out to gently rub her hair, saying in a gentle tone:
"Xiao Qi, look carefully, aren't there still plum blossoms on that branch?"
The little girl looked in the direction where his finger pointed, and sure enough, she saw several plum blossoms blooming proudly in the cold wind, as white as snow, with a faint fragrance.
She blinked, ran over and plucked a branch of plum blossom, played with it in her hands, and muttered:
"This plum blossom is really pretty, but why are all the other flowers withered and only this one is still blooming?"
Qin Zhao stood with his hands behind his back, looking far away, and said slowly:
"The reason why the plum blossom can bloom in the cold winter is that it does not compete with other flowers for beauty, but keeps its own ambition. Those who want to achieve great things should also do the same."
The little girl tilted her head, obviously not understanding. She just smiled and put the plum blossom in her hair, turned around and ran to the side to chase a flying butterfly.
Qin Zhao looked at her back, his eyes full of doting.
At this time, a eunuch hurried over, holding a memorial in his hand, and respectfully handed it to Qin Zhao:
"Your Highness, the Ministry of War has urgently submitted a report for your review."
Qin Zhao took the memorial casually, opened it and took a look. His originally indifferent expression gradually became solemn, and then he revealed a hint of interest.
He murmured in a low voice: "Xia He...this person is quite interesting."
The memorial described in detail the battle on the Great Wall of Liangzhou, mentioning that Xia He defeated 20,000 elite barbarian troops with only 2,000 defenders, which was a miracle.
However, the second half of the memorial took a sudden turn, impeaching the Xuanwu Camp commander Shan Ling for privately calling upon 3,000 criminal veterans who had fallen to the riverside, saying that this was a serious crime of treason and requesting severe punishment.
After reading it, Qin Zhao's face suddenly darkened. He snorted coldly and threw the memorial heavily to the ground.
The eunuch was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly knelt on the ground with his forehead pressed to the ground, not daring to make any sound.
"The generals of the vassal states deliberately did not send troops and watched the barbarians attack the city. The commander-in-chief saved himself, but this was considered treason?"
Qin Zhao's voice was icy cold, as if carrying an invisible pressure.
"If your majesty blames me, I will bear the responsibility!"
He paused, his eyes swept across the eunuch kneeling on the ground like a knife, and said coldly:
"Pass on my words, Shan Ling's actions are for the country and the people, he is innocent and meritorious! As for Xia He, he must be taken into the Xuanwu Camp and trained well. As for the reward... If Your Majesty does not give it, I will give it myself!"
The eunuch nodded repeatedly and replied in a trembling voice: "Yes, Your Highness! I will do it right away!"
Qin Zhao waved his hand, signaling him to leave, and then added: "Also, in my name, officially enroll Xia He as a lieutenant general. Such talents should not be buried."
"yes!"
…
The court's reward came quickly this time.
