"Sister Shan, why are you here..."
When Xia He saw that the person coming was Shan Ling, he was stunned for a moment, but his mind worked very quickly and he came to his senses in an instant.
Shan Xiong, Shan Ling... the same surname.
In fact, before this, Xia He had some doubts about Shan Xiong's identity, but he didn't think about it deeply at that time. When he saw Shan Ling appear, he realized that the two of them were obviously related.
So Xia He released the hand that had been suppressing Shan Xiong and asked him,
"What is your relationship with Senior Sister Shan?"
Shan Xiong finally managed to free himself from Xia He's suppression, but he felt completely humiliated.
Especially in front of his elder sister, which made him even more angry.
Therefore, when he saw Shan Ling, his expression became extremely ugly and he snorted in annoyance.
"She's my sister!"
At this time, Xia He finally understood that these two were actually siblings!
Shan Ling saw this and frowned and asked, "What conflict did you two have? Why did you fight?"
Xia He hurriedly explained: "Senior sister, you don't know, it was Brother Shan Xiong who wanted to learn martial arts from me, so we started fighting."
Shan Xiong, who was standing by, heard this. Although he knew in his heart that he almost lost to Xia He just now, he refused to admit it and said with his neck stiff:
"Humph, we haven't decided the winner yet, let's try again!"
"Xiong'er, stop messing around."
Shan Ling spoke with great authority, but when he saw his brother being humiliated, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She immediately reacted and suddenly realized, "Oh? So you were talking about discovering a genius all day long. Could it be Junior Brother Xia?"
When Shan Xiong heard this, he was completely stunned. He stared at Shan Ling with wide eyes and stammered, "Wha...what? Junior Brother Xia, sister, do you know him?"
Shan Ling explained quickly, and Shan Xiong's eyes widened.
Xia He secretly sweated, and immediately bowed and said,
"Don't blame me, Senior Sister. I don't know Senior Brother Shan's identity... otherwise I wouldn't have been so harsh."
"It's okay. He should be suppressed a little, otherwise he will be lawless every day."
Shan Ling looked at Shan Xiong and said with a smile,
"Now you know, right? There are always people who can stop you from being lawless all day long."
"Sister, I was careless! If you come again, I will definitely have the upper hand..."
"You know, Junior Brother Xia has only been practicing martial arts for more than two months. How long have you been practicing martial arts?"
"Two months?"
Shan Xiong was stunned.
How is this possible?
Being able to achieve bone refining in just two months, what kind of monster is this?
Shan Ling shook her head. In fact, she was also very surprised.
The last time I saw Xia He, he was just refining blood, but the fight just now clearly showed that he had already started refining bones.
With such talent, he would probably be among the best in the entire Xuanwu Camp.
"Junior Brother Xia, I have something important to do with Xiong'er, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Shan Ling pulled the dazed Shan Xiong away.
"Important? Are you planning to take action against Mr. Fan?"
Xia He secretly speculated on various possibilities in his heart, his thoughts surging like the tide.
Originally he thought that Xuanfeng had only sent Dan Ling, but he didn't expect that both the sister and the brother came.
Shan Xiong didn't show up before, so it didn't look like he was here to play.
"Two bone refiners... can they kill that Fan guy?"
But judging from Senior Sister Shan’s expression just now, the person he is afraid of should not be the one with the surname Fan.
The man named Zhen specially mobilized a team of elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to come for reinforcement. It goes without saying who they were guarding against.
"This guy is quite clever..."
What if Senior Sister Shan is unable to do anything and Mr. Zhen wants to make things difficult for him, should I add fuel to the fire?
When Xia He thought of this, he wanted to get an advance on his military pay, and prepare some blood-replenishing soup and bone-refining soup before setting off. However, he had already owed the money for half a year, and he was afraid it would be difficult to borrow money.
"Money, money, money... No wonder those bastards want to make money."
After secretly cursing a few words, Xia He walked towards the armaments department...
In the evening, Xia He would also take time to read some military books. As his proficiency improved, he finally felt a sense of security.
[Skills: Military Strategy (Introduction)]
[Progress: 0/200]
[Effect: Familiar with military tactics, can stabilize the morale of the troops when commanding (30%)]
[Military Morale (30%): The battle damage limit is 30% to ensure that the military morale is not weakened]
“Wow!”
Xia He's eyes widened.
He initially read the Art of War purely out of personal interest. After all, given the current situation, he did not have many opportunities to actually lead troops in battle.
However, after unexpectedly awakening the skill, I actually achieved pretty good results.
On the battlefield, soldiers' morale is crucial.
As a general, his influence on the morale of the entire army cannot be underestimated.
Generally speaking, under common battlefield situations, if the number of casualties in an army exceeds 20% of the total strength, morale will collapse and desertions will begin to occur.
However, his unique skills increased the upper limit of the casualties that his army could bear by 10%! Don't underestimate this mere 10%. When the number of the commander's troops increases, this effect will become more and more significant.
Thinking of this, Xia He couldn't help but feel moved.
"Maybe I'll have the opportunity to command troops in the future, so I can develop my battlefield skills?"
Xia He found Captain Wang and asked him, "Captain Wang, I have a favor to ask of you. Can you help me find some more military books?"
Upon hearing this, Captain Wang widened his eyes and said jokingly, "Oh, Brother Xia is so interested in the art of war? Do you want to be a general in the future?"
But after a few jokes, he still agreed generously: "It's just a few military books. Leave this little thing to me. It's not difficult to get it."
Upon hearing this, Xia He immediately bowed.
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, he just practiced martial arts and read military books. With the help of blood-replenishing soup and bone-refining soup, the first step of tendons, bones, skin and marrow has been completed, and he has officially begun to step into the second level.
"This step requires more bone-refining soup... at least a hundred sets or more, which means at least three thousand taels of silver..."
"We have to find a way to get some money."
…
The night is as dark as ink, so thick that it seems to swallow up all light.
Xia He stood outside the courtyard wall. He had just broken through the Bone Refining Realm, so naturally he wanted revenge.
He doesn't like pressure, and he doesn't like being threatened. If someone dares to put pressure on him, he will get rid of that person. This is his consistent style and also the motivation for his cultivation.
In the darkness of the night, Xia He climbed over the wall silently like a nimble cat and landed in Zhen Jie's yard.
The yard was quiet, with only the sounds of women's giggles and men's whispers coming from afar.
Xia He sneered. These guys really know how to enjoy themselves. Even at this time, they don't forget to indulge in sensual pleasures.
"Humph, even if you call in a cavalry team, can you not sleep? Warriors also need to sleep!"
