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

Under Lu Anping's command, the White Wolf King's corpse was quickly cleaned up.

Thanks to Lu Xiao's deliberate angle when he killed it, the wolf skin, which was completely free of any stray hairs, was peeled off without a single drop of blood getting on it.

When Liu Xianya took the wolf pelt from the village chief, she quickly shook her head and refused.

"This was hunted by my husband himself. I'll trouble the village chief to hand it over to him for processing."

"Brother Xiao said this is for you!"

The village chief chuckled, placed the wolf pelt beside her, turned and left, continuing to butcher the wolf meat with the others in the yard.

This white wolf king is quite large; even after removing its internal organs, it still weighs sixty or seventy pounds.

He divided the four wolf legs into three parts, giving two legs and the tenderloin to Lu Xiao.

This is his spoils of war, nothing much to say.

The remaining wolf legs were given to the two young men who were most seriously injured while helping, and the rest of the wolf meat was shared among everyone present.

Inside the house, Liu Xianya saw Lu Xiao enter and hurriedly stood up, pointing to the wolf pelt and saying:

"My lord, though I am ignorant of the ways of commerce, I know that this wolf pelt can fetch at least twenty taels of silver, or even more, which is equivalent to a month's salary for over a hundred soldiers at the border outpost!"

"It is so precious, I dare not handle it on my own. Please let my lord decide."

She already felt guilty for attracting the wolf king.

After all, wouldn't it be dangerous if Lu Xiao didn't have that gun skill?

But upon hearing this, Lu Xiao shook his head and refused:

"I killed the White Wolf King, and you're my woman. Why can't I let you process the wolf pelt?"

"Xianya, money is just an external thing. With your husband's abilities, he will earn back this money in no time. But you are alone at home, and you will inevitably be bullied."

"Don't even think about secretly selling them to save money. Just make them and wear them directly."

"I'll check when my husband gets back."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xianya's eyes welled up with tears, and after a long silence, she took the initiative to step forward and hug him.

"I have remembered what you said, my lord."

……

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Liu Xianya was moving when the White Wolf King broke into her home that day.

She decided to move into Lu Xiao's house to protect his little corner of the world, but she accidentally cut her arm during the move, and the smell of blood attracted the White Wolf King who was roaming nearby.

This made her understand even more the impermanence of life.

So for the past few nights, she has been taking the initiative to serve Lu Xiao, hoping to conceive a child for the Lu family before he leaves and continue the family line.

On the morning of his departure, Lu Xiao comforted Liu Xianya, who was still crying, then went to Lu Anping, took the luggage prepared for him from the other's hands, and grinned:

"Uncle, please take good care of the family."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Lu Anping nodded and pointed to the package in his hand, saying:

"These are meat patties made from the flesh of that white wolf king. Take them with you as provisions. Once you've eaten its meat, along with that breastplate, you'll be safe and sound on the battlefield, and invincible!"

"Brother Xiao, I'm leaving Da Hu in your care."

As he spoke, he stepped aside, making way for Fang Dahu, who was standing behind him.

Lu Xiao looked at this tall but fierce-looking peer and nodded slightly.

Five days ago, everyone in Sangzi Village thought they were on the battlefield and that Fang Dahu was taking care of Lu Xiao.

But now that idea has been reversed.

Fang Dahu chuckled and scratched his head, then greeted him respectfully:

"Brother Xiao, your marksmanship that day was amazing! Can you teach me?"

"Of course..."

Amidst laughter and conversation, the two turned their backs to the villagers and relatives who had come to see them off and strode towards the county town.

……

Lu Xiao and Fang Dahu arrived at the welcome point located at the North Gate of Changyang County at the agreed time.

Fang Dahu looked at the soldiers clad in leather armor, the kind of people ordinary people would avoid, and clenched his fists inwardly, muttering to himself:

"Father, your son will avenge you soon!"

"Big Tiger, relax."

Lu Xiao saw that the new recruits who had arrived earlier were gathered in twos and threes, being instructed by the veterans, as if they were being selected. He immediately patted his companion on the shoulder:

"We still have one more hurdle to overcome, and this hurdle will have a huge impact on our future."

"Do your best later, and you might get good treatment if you join the army."

As the two were talking, a thin, weathered-looking middle-aged man with exceptionally bright eyes cast a scrutinizing glance at them.

"You two are the new recruits from Sangzi Village?"

"My name is Zhou Daxing. I serve as a junior squad leader in the army. I came here today with the centurion to recruit a few capable men in advance."

"If you have any skills, feel free to tell me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao quickly clasped his hands in a salute, then took out the Black Dragon Spear from his back:

"Sergeant, my family has a set of ancestral marksmanship techniques. I've practiced diligently over the years and believe I've mastered them. If you don't mind, sir, please allow me to demonstrate them!"

He knew very well that, whether in ancient or modern times, anyone with strength could earn respect in the military.

Therefore, as long as you don't reveal your most important secret, you should show off your other abilities as appropriate; otherwise, you'll just be asking for trouble.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhou Daxing's eyes lit up immediately, and he gestured to his comrade beside him to step back a few steps to make room for Lu Xiao:

"Just call me Squad Leader Zhou or Uncle Daxing from now on. We don't use that kind of formality at our outpost."

"Yes, Uncle Daxing!"

Lu Xiao nodded in agreement, and after speaking, he gripped the end of the Black Dragon Spear with one hand, twirled it a few times, and began to practice each move.

He turned around nimbly, his powerful movement drawing applause and cheers from the surrounding crowd.

thump—

After the spear dance ended, Lu Xiao slammed the Black Dragon Spear into the ground, revealing a sunny smile:

"Uncle Daxing, how is it?"

"good!"

Zhou Daxing cheered on the spot, praising him several times before turning to his comrades beside him and saying:

"I want this kid!"

"Da Xing, you're too cunning!"

Upon hearing this, one of my comrades immediately complained indignantly:

"I saw you eyeing this little guy from a distance just now. You must have seen the Black Dragon Spear on his back, which is why you rushed ahead of us to snatch him!"

"How about we have a match if you dare?"

"whispering sound!"

"Can you beat me?"

Zhou Dalong rolled his eyes, walked up to Lu Xiao and patted him heavily on the shoulder, his eyes full of emotion:

"I never expected you to be such a skilled marksman, despite your frail appearance. You really can't judge a book by its cover."

"From now on, you'll stay by my side."

"Yes, Uncle Daxing!"

"From this day forward, I, Lu Xiao, am your soldier!"

Lu Xiao responded with a smile, noticing the envious look on Fang Dahu's face beside him. After glancing around, he turned to the old soldier who had spoken up for him and said:

"Uncle, my friend Fang Dahu is also quite good. He's much stronger than the average person. Why don't you take a look?"
