Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 62 was extremely rewarding.
As soon as Lu Ming entered the gate, he saw various supplies already arranged in categories.

The accountant was making notes on something to the side.

He seemed extremely focused.

"How was the harvest?" Lu Ming's voice rang out.

The accountant was startled, then bowed and said, "Sir, the statistics have all been compiled: 30,000 shi of top-quality horse feed, 150,000 shi of grain, 1.23 million taels of silver, and 6,300 warhorses."

There are still various goods that haven't been inventoried, but their total value should be in the tens of thousands of taels.

A light shone in Lu Ming's eyes.

He never expected to gain so much.

In that case, while three thousand iron cavalry might not be possible, having a thousand ironclad infantry would be no problem.

With a thousand cavalrymen, they would be able to play a decisive role on the battlefield.

Also, the number of troops under his command can be increased.

"Good, put all the supplies into storage."

"Yes, sir!" the accountant bowed.

Then, he carefully retreated.

Lu Ming then walked towards the backyard.

This time, he killed quite a few people, and he was ready to see how many points he had gained.

If you have enough, you should make good use of your strength.

Putting aside other things, the Golden Bell Shield technique can be practiced again after one reaches the True Essence Realm.

As soon as he entered the inner quarters, he saw his wife practicing her cultivation.

Without disturbing the other party, Lu Ming went straight to the secret room.

When the data panel is opened.

The values ​​displayed above satisfied him greatly.

A total of 830,000 points.

Clearly, the trusted troops trained by these aristocratic families were even more ruthless than the mountain bandits.

Afterwards, he exchanged for another jar of ferocious beast blood, applied it to his body, and began to cultivate.

Before they knew it, it was evening, and they finally stopped their cultivation.

When they stepped out of the secret room, they saw Li Xirou busy cooking.

However, Lu Ming's eyes lit up when he saw her.

"She's entered the Body Tempering Realm?" He hadn't expected Li Xirou to be so talented.

In such a short time, they actually entered the country.

"Yes, I've broken through. I feel a lot more power in my body," Li Xirou said softly.

When she reached the Body Tempering Realm today, she examined herself for a long time.

I was relieved to find that I hadn't gained much muscle, but my skin had improved a lot.

"Not bad. If you cultivate a little faster, you can protect me in the future."

"Really? Then I will definitely cultivate diligently," Li Xirou said happily.

Lu Ming patted her head affectionately.

Then, he sat down and asked, "What are we eating today?"

"These are all your favorite foods," Li Xirou said with a smile.

Then the maidservants brought out various kinds of food.

Lu Ming looked over and saw that it was indeed the case.

Without any ceremony, he sat down and began to wolf down his food.

He was really hungry; he always felt extremely exhausted after each training session.

Especially after progress has been made, a large amount of replenishment is needed.

His body was filled with extremely rich and concentrated qi and blood.

After Li Xirou began cultivating, her appetite also started to increase.

I ate quite a lot today, which is unusual for me.

In no time at all, the food on the table was gone.

After the maids cleared away the leftovers...

The two of them then rested.

The next morning, after Lu Ming got up...

He glanced at his sleeping wife and then walked outside.

Upon arriving at the training ground, he saw his men practicing.

The cook has already started getting busy.

Zhang Meng squatted under the eaves, drinking a bowl of meat soup.

After spotting Lu Ming, they quickly came over.

"Are the warhorses all settled in?"

"Sir, everything is settled. Today we're preparing the cavalry training grounds," Zhang Meng said with a grin.

Lu Ming's appearance can be said to have changed the entire Fenglei County.

Nowadays, putting aside everything else, at least everyone in the county can have enough to eat.

We no longer need to hand over grain to the bandits, and we can even earn silver in the mines.

Hunters no longer need to worry about being discovered by bandits when they go up the mountain. The two families are now no different from ordinary wealthy households, and they are much more amicable to their miners and herb gatherers.

The money was paid out monthly, without the slightest delay.

Nowadays, in the entire Fenglei County, Lu Ming's words carry more weight than those of the imperial court, and all the people recognize this captain.

"Hmm, well done. Now that we have warhorses, let's select a thousand strongmen to form a cavalry."

Recruit another thousand men to supplement the ranks of the strongmen.

Starting tomorrow, the treatment of a thousand cavalrymen will be the same as that of the Mo Dao soldiers.

The Body Tempering Pill was also restarted in the refining process until all one thousand cavalrymen reached the Bone Forging Realm.

You are responsible for arranging all of these.

As for how much silver is needed, you can withdraw it from the accounting office.

After careful consideration, he decided to set the number of Ironclad Cavalry at one thousand.

As Lu Ming's strength continued to improve, he no longer needed to personally go to purchase medicinal herbs.

Zhang Meng only needs to go and give a heads-up.

"Yes, sir, I will recruit warriors as soon as possible to replenish the number of strongmen."

Lu Ming nodded.

In this way, he would have five thousand men under his command.

One thousand cavalry, one thousand Mo Dao soldiers, plus three thousand armored warriors.

Within Hongdu Prefecture, one's safety is absolutely guaranteed.

In the time to come, as long as these people improve their cultivation level...

If everyone can reach the Bone Forging Realm before the great calamity arrives, they can try to dominate even in Yunzhou.

"Then let's get things done as soon as possible. I'm waiting for your good news. If this succeeds, it will be a great achievement for you."

Lu Ming patted Zhang Meng on the shoulder.

Then he led the horse out of the mansion.

After so many days, he wanted to go to the towns below to see how Bai Yan's stream well construction was progressing.

This is crucial for next year.

The livelihood of the entire Fenglei County cannot be taken lightly.

Kaoshan Village is not far from Fenglei County. Lu Ming heard from the people in the county government that Bai Yan has been here recently.

After riding for less than an hour, they arrived outside the village.

At first glance, Lu Ming noticed that there were not only many newly reclaimed wastelands, but also streams, wells, and waterwheels built around them.

A group of people were gathered around the edge of the field, and Bai Yan was among them.

However, what surprised Lu Ming was...

There seemed to be a fight going on, with constables flying out every now and then.

Bai Yan stood aside, seemingly unperturbed.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

Lu Ming spurred his horse forward and finally stopped outside the crowd.

"what happened!"

Realizing what was happening, Bai Yan's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Greetings, General!"

Then, with a wry smile, he said, "It was the butcher from Kaoshan Village who had an affair with the wife of a family. The head of the family was a sickly man who was killed by the butcher and his wife the day before yesterday. Who would have thought that the head of the family's younger brother would return yesterday?"

This man used to be a troublemaker in the Imperial Guards, but now he's been kicked out. After seeing his brother die, he killed the butcher and his sister-in-law in a fit of rage and prepared to escape.

I happened to be building a well in the stream here, and there were a lot of yamen runners around, so I was caught in the act.

So they got entangled in a fight.

When Lu Ming looked over, he saw that the man trapped in the middle was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, about 1.9 meters tall, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a strong and powerful body, like a giant who could shake the heavens and the earth.

In the dead of winter, wearing only a thin, coarse cloth garment, his taut muscles resembled those of a steel man.

Although his blows were heavy, he clearly showed mercy to these constables.

Otherwise, given the opponent's peak Blood Transformation Realm cultivation, these constables would probably have been killed long ago.

Then, the system data appeared in my mind.

Name: Zhang Mu

[Cultivation Level: Peak Blood Refining Stage]

[Ping Shen's Deeds: He joined the city guard at the age of thirteen. Due to his meritorious service in killing the enemy and his extraordinary physique, he was recruited into the border army. The following year, he made meritorious contributions on the battlefield and was promoted to corporal. After five years of fighting through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he became a centurion.]

At the age of twenty, he was recruited into the Imperial Guard because of his reputation for bravery in the border army. He participated in various battles, large and small, and made numerous military achievements. However, due to his overly straightforward personality, he was unable to be promoted for a long time.

At the age of twenty-five, he was demoted and sent back to his hometown for offending his superior.

[Mission: Escape the pursuit of the yamen runners]

[Overall brutality level: 90000 points]

Killing or subduing it will grant you 90000 Chaos Points.

"Roar!"

Just then, the besieged man let out an angry roar.

They actually broke through the encirclement and tried to escape.

At the same time, he looked at Bai Yan and said, "I know you are a good official and unwilling to commit murder. Do not pursue us any further, or I will not be polite!"

Thank you to the generous donor for the 100 coins, thank you to the generous donor for the 500 coins, thank you to all the donors for the recommendation tickets and monthly passes, and thank you to all the donors who have followed and added this to their favorites. Thank you!
