After taking the booklet, he came out of the tent.
A group of people rushed over like a tide, everyone's face was full of tension, and they asked Xia He anxiously:
"My Lord, what's going on?"
Seeing this, Xia He quickly waved his hands and said loudly:
"Brothers, rest assured, the fact that we have won military merit by killing the barbarians is a foregone conclusion. There is no doubt about it! The newly appointed marching commander, Lord Shan, has personally promised that we will get every cent of the reward we deserve!"
After hearing this, the subordinates were stunned for a moment, and then burst into cheers.
They were especially excited when they learned that Xia He was about to be promoted to a centurion.
After all, it is a blessing for them to be able to follow a promising leader.
As the saying goes, "When one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper." Xia He is now enjoying a successful career and his position is rising steadily. As his subordinates, they are naturally proud of it.
At the same time, Captain Wang and his group also hurried over.
He immediately bowed and congratulated:
"Congratulations, Brother Xia, on your promotion!"
"He was promoted to centurion at such a young age. He is much better than the rest of us."
Xia He found a new backer this time, whose background is even more powerful than his previous backer Fan Qianhu, and he also has military merits, so naturally no one dares to look down on him.
Others also chimed in with congratulations, their words full of envy.
Facing everyone's praise and congratulations, Xia He responded politely one by one and waited for everyone to leave.
All the old horses could be replaced, and Xia He unceremoniously chose a strong horse with red and white hair.
"Let's name you Red Fox."
Turning to look at the crowd,
"Who among you knows how to raise a horse?"
"My lord, the horses are fed before the bulls run."
Ming San stood up, leading the rewarded horse, and spoke.
"Okay, Erpang, you and Niu Ben take those horses down and take good care of them. Feed them with fodder."
"I have a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. If you can perform meritorious deeds in the future, these war horses will be given to you as rewards!"
"Thank you, Master Xia!"
Everyone was very excited.
They were really envious of Ming San as he showed off his power while leading a horse!
After all, in many people's impressions, only big men in the army are equipped with horses. How majestic would it be if he rode a horse back to town?
Wouldn't those widows, aunts, little girls and the like be bewildered by it?
"If the Xuanwu Overlord Spear is a spear technique... first you have to find a good spear."
Because he was promoted to the position of centurion, according to regulations, he got the precious opportunity to go to the armory to re-select weapons.
These weapons are undoubtedly more sophisticated and powerful than those used by ordinary soldiers. Their materials are at least a careful mixture of fine steel and red gold.
However, after Xia He came to the armory and made some selections, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
There are a wide variety of weapons here, but most of them are just conventional standard weapons, and a considerable number of them are old goods that have long been abandoned and discarded by others.
Xia He searched in the armory for a long time, but still couldn't find a weapon that satisfied him.
In the end, he could only walk out of the armory slowly with a helpless heart, thinking to himself as he walked:
"It's obviously not appropriate to just pick a weapon so hastily, but I can't find anything that meets my requirements in the existing arsenal. Do I really have to find a blacksmith to customize it?"
"That's the only way..."
The martial arts taught by the Xuanwu Camp are naturally superior, and one cannot just take their practice lightly.
At this moment, a shout came from behind.
Xia He looked back and found that the person coming was Shan Xiong.
He was carrying a pitch-black spear on his shoulder and was walking towards him with big strides.
When approaching Xia He, Shan Xiong threw the black gun towards him without hesitation and shouted:
"My sister asked me to bring this gun to you. She can't use it for the time being, so I'll lend it to you."
Xia He instinctively raised his hand to take it, and his hand sank slightly, and he immediately showed a look of surprise.
"What a heavy gun!"
After weighing it carefully, it weighs at least 40 kilograms.
"Master Guan's Azure Dragon Crescent Blade only weighs 82 jin! This is almost half of it."
The spear is dark black in color, about three meters long, and is made of cold iron. It has been tempered through thousands of times, and its surface is as smooth as a mirror, yet it flashes with a cold light.
The tip of the gun is extremely sharp, and the handle is wrapped with rare gold wire, which not only provides an excellent grip but also adds a touch of luxury.
“Nice gun!”
Shan Xiong hugged his shoulders and explained,
"I borrowed this gun from the Xuanwu Camp. It's called the Black Iron Gun."
"Only the former commanders of the Xuanwu Camp are qualified to refine spears. You are lucky enough to do this."
"Thank you!"
Xia He practiced with the spear twice and immediately couldn't let it go.
"I want to see how long it will take you to get started. I'm leaving now..."
Shan Xiong clapped his hands and left.
Xia He couldn't wait to take his gun to the training ground and practice.
Who would have thought that within just an incense stick of time, a feeling of deficiency of Qi and blood in the body would arise!
“How could it be…”
Xia He has mastered several martial arts, and the energy and blood in his body are at least three or four times as powerful as that of an ordinary person.
But in the end, he couldn't even complete a set of introductory moves of "Xuanwu Overlord Spear".
"You must persist for at least three incense sticks, and make sure that your body has enough Qi and blood. Only then can you be considered an entry level practitioner!"
Only then did he understand why it took Shan Xiong more than a year to get started.
