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

Chapter 90 Li Xiang Arrives

Chapter 90 Li Xiang Arrives
When Li Xirou saw her husband again, she felt her heart melt.

She hasn't had a good night's sleep in a while, waking up in the middle of the night every night.

Now, Lu Ming is standing right in front of me, alive and well.

Tears welled up in his eyes with emotion.

"Finally back, it's good to be back."

She spoke softly as she removed Lu Ming's armor.

After her cultivation level improved, she could do these things by herself without having to rely on others.

Looking at his busy wife, Lu Ming felt a warmth in his heart after days of exhaustion.

Isn't this what people risk their lives on the battlefield for?

After returning home, the whole family was together and spared the ravages of war.

When the armor was removed, the maids took it away to wash it.

Li Xirou had already served the hot food.

A whole roasted pork leg, several fish cooked in a pot, etc.

Lu Ming didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began to eat heartily.

Even while in the army, he didn't lack meat to eat.

They were all dried meat, so they were grilled and stuffed directly into their stomachs.

Nothing tastes as good as the food in front of me.

After finishing the meal, Lu Ming drank another jar of wine.

She patted her belly with satisfaction.

I'm quite satisfied.

By this time, it was already afternoon.

Lu Ming stood up and said, "I'm going to take a walk in front."

The army brought back quite a lot of supplies this time, and they are currently taking inventory.

Lu Ming certainly wanted to take a look.

"Mmm." Li Xirou nodded obediently.

However, she seemed to remember something immediately afterward.

Looking at Lu Ming, who had just turned around, she said, "Mother said that when you and Wang Yue come back, you can have dinner together at home tonight. She sent someone to urge you when you entered the city today."

"Okay!" Lu Ming waved his hand and said.

Then, he disappeared from Li Xirou's sight.

When he arrived at the playground, he saw Guo Zhun still busy at work.

His forehead was covered in sweat, but under the scorching sun, his enthusiasm was boundless.

Even the officials were the same.

In fact, for them, these supplies are power. If the person guarding the warehouse doesn't have supplies, then he is nothing.

But if there are sufficient supplies, then it's a different story.

Even if you see a few captains, you might still be able to tremble.

Upon seeing Lu Ming arrive.

Guo Zhun immediately stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency!"

He bowed as he spoke.

In fact, ever since Lu Ming brought over a large amount of supplies from Fenglei County last time, he had been completely convinced of this official's abilities.

Now, I can only admire them from the bottom of my heart.

"Approximately how long will it take to complete the inventory?"

"My lord, the fastest we can get there is tomorrow," Guo Zhun said hurriedly.

Lu Ming nodded.

Then, looking at Zhang Meng beside him, he said, "Notify the captains in the city to have Wang Yue come too. I'll treat everyone to lunch tomorrow at the garrison headquarters."

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Meng replied and ran out of the mansion.

After making the arrangements, Lu Ming returned to the backyard and entered the secret room.

With points earned again, "The Primordial Mystery" can now be further improved using resources.

This battle with the Vulture Taoist made him realize...

Practicing this technique has a very strong auxiliary effect on one's combat power.

The power of the earth's veins is continuously absorbed.

It makes him feel almost no fatigue, and the boost to his strength is terrifying.

Moreover, there are now immortal sects involved among the rebels.

This added a great deal of sense of crisis to his heart, even though he thought he had the ability to protect himself.

His current strength is more than enough for fighting on the battlefield.

However, when facing people from the immortal sects, let alone those at the Qi Refining Realm, even those at the Innate Realm would probably be no match.

And the "Xuanhuang Chuben" was his reliance.

Once you've mastered the basics, you can rival those who have cultivated Qi.

Upon entering the secret chamber, he immediately exchanged for a spirit fruit and put it in his mouth.

The next moment, he began to comprehend the earth's veins.

A yellowish-brown light enveloped his body.

The activity on the ground was captured by his senses, and Lu Ming carefully tried to detect it and manipulate it.

But it was ultimately too weak; he managed to extract only a wisp of it.

However, it is also very difficult. I feel that if this power is used well, it should be no problem to deal with innate beings.

If you want to rival someone who has mastered Qi cultivation, you're still a bit lacking.

When the effects of the medicine wear off.

When Lu Ming opened his eyes again, they had gradually darkened.

He stood up and walked outside. They had agreed to have dinner at the Li family's house today.

"Squeak!" Just as I pushed open the door.

Li Xirou was already waiting.

"Let's go," Lu Ming said softly.

At this moment, a maidservant went to the front yard to make preparations.

When they left the garrison, the carriage and guards were already prepared.

The group headed towards the Li family's residence in a grand procession.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Zhang Ming already waiting.

"Auntie is already waiting, brother-in-law, Xirou, please go in quickly."

While speaking, lead the way.

Last time, thanks to Lu Mingyun's cotton wadding, he hauled a lot of goods and made a fortune.

Having experienced the benefits of having the power to protect him, they became even more enthusiastic towards Lu Ming.

The two nodded and then walked into the courtyard.

The Li family home was still brightly lit.

When I arrived at the backyard, I saw that everyone had already arrived.

Wang Yue stood in the middle of the crowd, recounting the great battle. Everyone listened intently, even Li Ren, who was drawn in and didn't want to miss a single word. This continued until Lu Ming arrived.

Everyone gathered around.

Zhao held his hand, looked him over for a while, and then smiled and said, "I heard from Wang Yue that this time was extremely dangerous. It's good that you weren't injured."

"My brother-in-law is incredibly powerful. There's probably no one in the entire Yunzhou who could hurt him!"

Wang Yue, with his left arm in a sling, said.

On the battlefield, he was struck in the arm by a rebel leader at the True Essence Realm. If it weren't for Lu Ming's timely help, he would probably have died on the battlefield.

The Wang family is extremely grateful now.

She knew in her heart that this was all Lu Ming's special care.

"Don't talk nonsense. Take good care of your injuries these few days. After a while, lead a team to raid Zhelong Mansion. If you make a contribution, I'll promote you to captain." Lu Ming said with a smile.

Wang Yue's eyes lit up. "Really, brother-in-law?"

Others also turned their gazes toward them.

After all, in their eyes, a captain was already a true general.

He was definitely a big shot in the prefectural city.

Back then, Wang Xun had been working on it for a long time so that his son could be promoted to the rank of Colonel.

But it still didn't work.

"Of course it's true, would I lie to you?"

“That’s right, your brother-in-law is such a big general, would he lie to you?” Zhao said with a smile.

Then, he instructed the maid to start serving the dishes.

For a time, the whole family was very lively.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere became even better.

Li Ren rarely raised his head and looked at Lu Ming, saying, "I heard that the rebels in Zhelong Prefecture are causing a lot of trouble, and Yunmeng Prefecture was almost destroyed. Will our Hongdu Prefecture be alright?"

Although he now has Lu Ming as his son-in-law, he feels much more at ease than before.

However, there is still no certainty.

"Judging from the current situation, the rebels should no longer be able to launch a large-scale battle, and even if they were to attack, they would still choose Yunmeng Prefecture first, rather than the most difficult Hongdu Prefecture."

Lu Ming analyzed.

Li Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he lowered his head and drank, saying no more.

The rest of the family kept asking Lu Ming all sorts of questions.

After finishing the meal, he was already seven or eight tenths drunk.

After returning home, seeing Li Xirou's increasingly perfect figure, they finally had another exhilarating battle.

The next morning, Lu Ming walked out of the house feeling refreshed.

He glanced at his wife, who was still fast asleep.

They walked towards the front yard.

Today, the soldiers began their drills again.

Guo Zhun, on the other hand, was excitedly directing his men to put various supplies into the warehouse.

His bloodshot eyes showed that he hadn't slept all night.

The hands holding the abacus were trembling incessantly.

Upon seeing Lu Ming approach, he quickly walked over.

"Sir, all the supplies have been inventoried."

As he spoke, his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Oh! How was the harvest this time?"

He also had some expectations for this.

After all, to support an army, you need enough money and food.

This is an eternal truth.

"My lord, there are 9.3 million taels of silver, 2.9 million shi of grain, more than 100,000 weapons of various kinds, and many other things that cannot be fully counted at the moment."

Upon hearing this number, Lu Ming gasped.

Unexpectedly, this trip has made me a rich person in the blink of an eye.

It seems these rebels have indeed looted Zhelong Prefecture completely.

"Let's put all the supplies into storage."

"Yes, sir!" Guo Zhun replied hastily.

Then he directed his men to continue working.

Lu Ming went to the training ground to instruct his subordinates on their cultivation.

The key point is Lu stone.

After going to the battlefield, he made a point of observing it.

The enemy is really fierce on the battlefield.

He was carrying two steel battle axes.

He witnessed it firsthand, as if he were in an empty place.

This guy cleaved a True Essence Realm expert in two.

Their skills have improved very quickly.

"Which level of the 'Golden Bell Cover' is it?" He looked at the humanoid iron tower in front of him.

Lu Ming said with a smile.

He was very satisfied with Lu Shi.

"Reporting to my lord, I've already reached the fourth level, and my cultivation has entered the True Essence realm," Lu Shi said, as if presenting a treasure.

He was naturally gifted, and with the added benefit of elixirs and cultivation techniques, his progress was extremely rapid.

"Not bad, keep up your training, you're a centurion now, aren't you?"

"Hehe, Lieutenant Zheng just mentioned it," Lu Shi grinned.

"Keep up the good work!" Lu Ming patted him on the shoulder and said.

Then, he placed a True Essence Pill in Lu Shi's hand.

"I'll promote you to captain when you reach the Qi Refining Realm!"

After saying that, Lu Ming left with his hands behind his back.

It was nearly noon by then, and he had promised to treat everyone.

The captains under his command also arrived one after another.

The dining table in the front hall was laden with food and drinks.

When Lu Ming arrived, all the generals immediately stood up.

"grown ups!"

At this moment, their gazes toward Lu Ming were filled with even greater awe.

In fact, before setting out, they never dared to imagine that this attack on Wuling Mountain would actually succeed.

"Please sit down," Lu Ming said with a smile.

He indicated to everyone that there was no need for further formalities.

After everyone was seated, he raised his glass and said, "This victory is all thanks to everyone's efforts. As the garrison general, I toast you all!"

While speaking, he downed the entire glass of wine in one gulp.

The other generals, of course, dared not hesitate.

They all drank the wine in their glasses.

Then, Lu Ming took out a secret manual from his pocket and threw it into Hu Fei's hand.

It was none other than the "Divine Archer Training Method".

"Give this to the soldiers for training, and strive to train a powerful archery battalion as soon as possible."

When the words fell.

Hu Fei quickly looked over and discovered that there was even a matching breathing technique.

His face immediately lit up with excitement. "Yes, sir!"

At that moment, the other captains also cast envious glances.

Lu Ming chuckled and said, "Don't be envious. As long as you perform well, everyone can have it."

Actually, he has been considering this for some time now.

He exchanged some cultivation techniques for his subordinates.

This allows them to leverage their strengths.

After all, we might have to confront the immortal sects next.

That is a power with deep roots.

If your subordinates are too weak, you won't be able to protect yourself at all.

"Thank you, sir!" the captains exclaimed excitedly.

Next, the group discussed the matter of Zhelong Mansion over drinks.

They didn't disperse until after dark.

Lu Ming also returned to the inner quarters.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, the Imperial Guards were already approaching Hongdu Prefecture.

Compared to the outer prefectural city, this place has undergone significant changes.

The people were no longer in a state of being poorly clothed and starving; instead, they were full of energy as they tended to their crops in the fields.

The lush green wheat fields have already sprouted.

As far as the eye can see, there is a green ocean.

Moreover, there were farmers patrolling the area carrying knives and guns.

They were all young and strong, and when refugees came in, they would be taken away by these people.

Wells and strangely shaped wooden buildings can be seen everywhere along the fields and roadsides.

Li Yan leaned out to look.

While surprised, a hint of relief appeared on his face.

Lu Ming is the garrison general here, and given the current situation, he naturally believes that the other side deserves most of the credit.

Marquis Hongshan, standing to the side, couldn't help but say, "This Hongdu Prefecture has truly surprised me. I never expected to see such a different scene here."

Although he was only proficient in martial arts.

But I can't help but feel a sense of admiration for the person who did all this.

After all, times have changed, even in prosperous times.

The current situation in Hongdu Prefecture is by no means bad.

"Yes, I never expected to see such a scene in these times. It's truly astonishing."

Li Yan muttered to himself.

Marquis Hongshan said, "I have already sent people to inform the garrison commander and the prefect. They should be arriving soon. Prime Minister, you can just ask them when the time comes."

When it comes to this.

A hint of curiosity also appeared in the eyes of this Marquis of Dayu.

Li Yan nodded.

Then the carriage curtain was lowered.

I'm about to see Lu Ming. I wonder if he'll be surprised when he sees me.

Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously appeared on Li Yan's face.

And at this time.

Lu Ming also led a group of men, hurrying along the road outside the city.

He knew the imperial court would send someone to suppress the rebels in Yunzhou, but he didn't expect it to be the prime minister.

And so suddenly.

Now, I can't help but feel a little worried.

After all, Hongdu Prefecture's excellent situation cannot be allowed to be ruined any further.
