Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

Now, Liu Wubing has been convinced of Lu Xiao's strength.

In all his years in the capital, he had seen many great generals and loyal and brave men, but there were almost no people who could draw a three-stone bow and shoot more than ten arrows in one go.

After telling his friend in the military, the friend didn't believe him either.

Therefore, Liu Wubing planned to do this himself, which would amaze his friend.

Lu Xiao smiled:

"To draw the three-stone bow, besides skill, strength is even more important!"

"Wu Bing, you're still young, so your brother-in-law can't guarantee he'll teach you this all at once. But as long as you practice consistently, you'll definitely be able to do it someday!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Wubing was filled with enthusiasm:

"Then...brother-in-law, please teach me the techniques quickly!"

"good!"

For the entire day, Lu Xiao didn't go anywhere. He stayed in the backyard of the Liu residence, teaching Liu Wubing shooting skills and passing on the Dragon Shadow Limitless Spear Technique that the Linglong Pagoda had given him.

He would never have done this to anyone else, but it didn't matter to Liu Wubing.

Firstly, the other party is his brother-in-law, and they are all family, so he naturally thinks of the other party when there are benefits.

More importantly, the stronger he is, the safer Liu Xianya will be in the capital, and he can fight the Hu people with peace of mind!

Before they knew it, the moon had risen high in the sky. Liu Wubing was still eager to continue teaching Lu Xiao his skills.

At this moment, Liu Xianya walked over and gave him a reproachful glare:

"Your brother-in-law is returning to White Wolf Outpost tomorrow. Are you trying to tire him out so much he won't be able to walk on the way?"

"Go wash up quickly, we'll have a family meal later."

"it is good."

……

Early morning, at the south gate of Hengdu.

Lu Xiao, lightly equipped, with one horse carrying him and the other carrying weapons, was bidding a reluctant farewell to Liu Xianya and her brother Liu Wubing.

Liu Xianya, with tears in her eyes, held his hand and gave him these words of advice:

"My lord, though I am in the capital, I will always think of you."

"Whenever I have free time, I'll make clothes for you. Don't go hungry or cold while you're home alone..."

"Sister and brother-in-law both know!"

Seeing that this was the thirteenth time she had repeated these words, Liu Wubing, somewhat impatient, interjected, then excitedly requested of Lu Xiao:

"Brother-in-law, remember to write to me when you get back, and write more about your experiences fighting the Hu people."

"I have few opportunities to fight in the capital. If I can learn from your experience in marching and fighting, I will surely have the chance to fight alongside you in the future!"

"My lord, do not listen to his nonsense. Military reports are state secrets and should not be easily divulged!"

Liu Xianya glared at her younger brother and continued to nag:

"If you need anything, just write to the capital. Anyway, Wubing has enough money for you and the brothers at the outpost to spend..."

As they talked, quite some time had passed.

After giving Liu Xianya some instructions on what to pay attention to while staying in the capital, and asking Liu Wubing to promise to take good care of his sister, Lu Xiao mounted his horse and waved goodbye.

To be honest, he was indeed a little reluctant to part with it.

But a real man should not be trapped in the emotions of love and affection for his children forever.

There are some things we must stand up for!

He traveled swiftly and lightly, and soon after, he was ten miles outside the city, passing by a farewell pavilion.

Upon seeing him, Wang Qingqing immediately stood up, bowed respectfully from afar, and then instructed her attendants to shout loudly:

"Young Master Lu, there's no need to stop. I've come here only to wish you a safe journey and countless victories!"

"A distant farewell is enough!"

Thank you!

Upon hearing these words, Lu Xiao smiled and clasped his hands in gratitude to the other party. He then quickened his pace and spurred his horse forward, heading straight for Yuyang County.

……

White Wolf Outpost.

It has been more than a month since Lu Xiao arrived in Beijing. During this time, although squad leaders such as Zhou Daxing and Huang Shan led the brothers to train day and night, Luo Yang, the former centurion, still came to the outpost whenever he had time to help Lu Xiao keep an eye on these guys.

The garrison camp in Changyang County where he was stationed was originally prepared for a large-scale attack by the Hu people.

As long as the White Wolf outpost remains intact, there will be no large-scale battles on his side.

Therefore, Luo Yang has plenty of time.

At this moment, he was in the 100-household barracks, reviewing the various expenses of the outpost, his brows gradually furrowing.

"Ugh."

"Following Xiaodi's instructions to train the soldiers has transformed their morale and spirit. Now, when facing the Black Sand Chuo tribe's army again, we will surely achieve an even greater victory."

"But... the expenses for this kind of training are too high, almost turning the outpost into a complete bankrupt!"

Luo Yang's worries are not limited to the present, but extend to the future!

Following Lu Xiao's method, the soldiers had meat at every meal and were well-fed every day, which did greatly help improve their strength, but it cost money like water!

In just one month, much of the five hundred taels of silver he had left behind had been spent, and Luo Yang himself had even added another one or two hundred taels to the money.

Even so, the White Wolf outpost will soon be unable to afford meat again.

Left with no other choice, Luo Yang could only reduce the soldiers' food and drink standards to ensure that this state of having meat at every meal could last longer.

"Brother-in-law, did you embezzle?"

Just then, Zhou Daxing stormed in, furious, and immediately questioned him:

"Starting a couple of days ago, the brothers' bowls were missing two slices of meat each, and today there are five slices missing!"

"Do you think our centurion is coming back soon, so you're planning to make a quick buck and run away?"

Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, then said angrily:

"You damned bastard!"

Am I that kind of person?

"But why is there less meat? You have to give me an explanation!"

Zhou Daxing continued to ramble on.

Seeing this, Luo Yang had no choice but to explain the situation inside the outpost, utterly exhausted:

"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Have you ever thought about what would happen if the outpost couldn't afford to buy meat one day?"

"Daxing, I'm reducing our meat intake daily, rather than suddenly cutting it off and causing the brothers to rebel!"

"Do you really want Commander Lu to return to this state?"

Zhou Daxing lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying:

"Then bring out the spoils of our last great victory!"

"Didn't we plunder a lot of gold and silver treasures from the Black Sand Clan's main camp? I'll just forgo them and use the money to buy meat for the brothers!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang shook his head, still refusing:

Just because you can do it doesn't mean others will.

"Daxing, our brothers still have families to support after they die. We can't let them go hungry in the army while their loved ones go hungry too, can we?"

"this……"

Just as the two were at their wits' end, Zhao Xiaoqi rushed in, flustered:

"Captain Luo, Old Zhou, the centurion is back!"

Upon hearing this, the two were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and hurriedly left Zhao Xiaoqi behind and rushed out.

When they arrived at the east gate of the outpost, they saw Lu Xiao riding alone on two horses, approaching amidst the cheers of the soldiers.

The two of them immediately laughed.
