Zongwu: Give you a chance and get a 10,000 times critical hit return!

Ximen Chuxue grasped the heavy black iron sword and pulled it out of the stone slab. The heavy sword body gave him a completely different feeling.

novel!

Ximen Chuxue recalled how he felt when he first held a sword.

He held the heavy black iron sword horizontally.

"No sword is better than a sword? This is a misunderstanding!"

"No sword is better than a sword, and no sword is better than no sword!"

Lu Xiaofeng is a smart man and he understands things immediately.

"A sword is a sword!"

“It’s not about having or not having!”

"Whether you insist on having a sword or not having a sword, you will fall into the biggest trap of the sword."

Ximen Chuixue sighed, "I roughly know why Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Nantian disappeared from the martial arts world!"

"why?"

"Because the road is blocked, I choose to start over, hide my real name, change my life, and change my identity."

"When they can regain their original names, that will be the day when the sword path is perfected, just like the Dugu Sword Demon who disappeared for a hundred years."

Ximen Chuxue's sobriety made Lu Xiaofeng sincerely happy, and he said: "It seems that you have found the opportunity!"

He and Ximen Chuxue crossed the sea and came to the Song Dynasty to challenge Dugu Qiubai in order to find an opportunity to break through.

Now that he has gained something, as a friend, he is naturally happy.

I hope I can catch up with the battle at the top of the Forbidden City.

Ximen Chuixue asked, "Is there a stone quarry near Gusu?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Do you want to carve the stone first?"

"From easy to difficult, from simple to complex, isn't it the same for sword practice?" Ximen Chuxue said.

He practiced swordplay when he was a child.

Also start with the simplest thorn.

He practiced stabbing with the sword every day for three years. When he could easily stab a flying mosquito, he began to practice chopping.

Many people only see his glorious side.

But he started learning sword at the age of seven and achieved success in seven years.

There is no way to imagine the bitterness, tears, hardships and difficulties that went into practicing sword skills.

just now.

It’s just, walking the same path again.

"Prince Jing's palace is undergoing massive construction, so there must be a quarry near Suzhou," said Lu Xiaofeng.

Under the sunset.

Zhao Wuxian left the courtyard where Ximen Chuxue lived and did not rush back to the palace.

Instead, he came to the street.

He did not disguise himself, but no one noticed his presence.

Just like, a drop of water falls into a pond and merges into it.

The "Inner Demon Yuanguan Method" affects people's senses and cognition, and reduces his own sense of existence.

This can be considered as a little trick in the application of martial arts.

On the street, except for outsiders.

There were also groups of young and strong men with smiles on their faces.

"Brother Zhang, I heard you are engaged?"

"Well, the wages from these few months have collected enough for the betrothal gift."

"Congratulations! You must say this when you get married."

"must!"

"Have you heard that there's a new army recruitment notice posted in Huating?"

"Soldier?"

"This is a way out, but I heard that the military pay in the barracks is not enough, and I don't know how much the big and small ghosts will exploit them."

"It would be better to build the palace for Prince Jing and never delay the payment of wages."

Logically speaking, the Song Dynasty had too many soldiers, and its military expenditures hit new highs.

But why are there so few achievements in military affairs?

Redundant soldiers are not elite soldiers.

The overly bloated military system and the military corps caused the Song Dynasty's army to suffer a serious decline in combat effectiveness, and the army was rotten to the core.

Even these young and strong men who could barely read and write knew this clearly: the garrison troops and the local militia were either vagrants or ruffians.

Especially in the Jiangnan area, there were few military disasters, and no matter generals, 643 or soldiers, they had no intention of preparing for war and their training was slack.

What combat effectiveness do such troops have?

"But, I heard that this new army was established by the Jingwang Mansion under the order of the court, and the treatment is quite generous."

"Really? Is it Prince Jing's army?"

"I also heard it from a cousin in Huating. I think it's true. Huating is the hometown of Prince Jing."

Young and strong people like them can be seen everywhere on the streets in the evening.

The Jiangnan area has become the economic center of the Song Dynasty, among which Suzhou, Lin'an and Jinling are the most prosperous.

The prosperity of Suzhou is closely related to the rise of its handicraft industry. Suzhou embroidery and Shu brocade are famous throughout the world.

Especially since last year.

Zhao Wuxian suddenly launched a large-scale recruitment of workers and resettlement of refugees, freeing most of the labor force from the land.

A new group.

The number of "workers" is increasing rapidly.

Of course, there are various reasons for this.

Land annexation is serious, there are both natural and man-made disasters, people are displaced, and more money can be earned than farming.

It can be said that Suzhou's environment has certain background conditions for industrial reform.

But not enough.

These are just the surface; there is still a lack of a core, a new driving force, to drive the times forward.

Zhao Wuxian manufactured alcohol, soap, gunpowder, glass, established Taihu Medical College, and prepared for the research institute, all in preparation for this.

Before, what he wanted was to gather craftsmen from all over the world and let them do the research according to what he said.

Now, he has a better choice.

Shen Kuo!

This ancient scientist, whose name has been passed down through the ages and who wrote "Dream Pool Essays", was delayed in his official career.

Believe that you have your own guidance.

Shen Kuo can support the research institute.

Besides, birds of a feather flock together.

People like Shen Kuo must know many talents like him who are not accepted by this era.

As you stroll, the aroma of tea wafts in the air.

Zhao Wuxian looked up and saw the Four Immortals Tea House.

Two scholars hurried by and said happily, "Is it really Master Su? He actually came to Suzhou!"

"real!"

Mr. Su?

Zhao Wuxian looked towards the crowded teahouse. Which scholar Su could cause such a sensation among the scholars of Suzhou?

Chapter 363: Huang Yaoshi: It hurts, my heart hurts so much! Su Shi, the literary overlord of the Song Dynasty!

Four Immortals Tea House.

Zhao Wuxian came to the private room on the second floor quietly.

The middle-aged man sitting in the private room raised his head slightly but did not stand up.

He has a gaunt appearance and is tall and thin.

He was wearing a blue straight-collared robe and a square scarf of the same color on his head, looking like a scholar.

The demeanor is elegant and refreshing, the style is sparse and lofty, and the appearance is as serene as a god.

It was the owner of Peach Blossom Island, Huang Yaoshi.

"Uncle Huang, it's been a while since we last met. Are you still used to living in Suzhou?" Zhao Wuxian asked with a smile.

Huang Yaoshi glanced at him but did not answer.

Even though Huang Rong was clever, she was still young and unaware of the dangers of the world.

He, Huang Yaoshi, has been in the martial arts world for many years. He can tell what kind of person he is and what his temperament is like at a glance.

Zhao Wuxian is not a bad person.

However, Huang Yaoshi would feel uncomfortable if he really let his daughter get together with him.

I have raised it for many years and it is my favorite.
