The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

"Pets?" Looking at Xiaoxue who just poked her head out and then shrank back, and the little raccoon on Zeng Wenyu's shoulder, "Little brother, you still have the leisure time to raise two little pets."

"Isn't it a bit lonely when traveling alone? It would be great to have two small pets to keep you company."

"That's right," Hua Wu Yue reached out to Zeng Wenyu's shoulder and tried to touch Xiao Li. However, before her hand touched Xiao Li, Xiao Li whimpered threateningly, "Oh? The little pet is pretty fierce?"

"Hahaha, the little fox is quite shy and doesn't like being touched by strangers."

"How can my sister be a stranger? We have such a good relationship!"

"But this is Xiaoli's first time meeting my sister, and aren't my sister and I just superiors and subordinates? How can we have such a good relationship?"

Hua Wu Yue's expression changed. Thinking of her previous rejection of Zeng Wenyu, she rolled her eyes at him and withdrew her hand.

Seeing that Hua Wu Yue stopped talking, Zeng Wenyu started eating. It must be said that the big pot meal in the military camp also had a unique taste. Although it was not as delicious as the small stove, but when eating with everyone, the ordinary taste seemed to become delicious.

The celebration banquet was only halfway through when a few people walked in from outside the military camp. Seeing these people, all the female soldiers stopped eating and stood up to salute the people who were approaching. Hua Wu Yue also led people to greet them. The people who came were the lord of Shubian City, Zhang Manyue, Li Chuangang and the little girl Jue'er who was holding the lord's hand.

"Okay, okay, I'm just here to join in the fun. Just do what you need to do and don't bother with me."

After saying this, the city lord followed Hua Wu Yue to the place specially prepared for them. The city lord picked up a jar of wine on the table, urged the spiritual energy in his body to let his voice spread throughout the parade ground, said a few words of praise, and raised his glass to drink with all the soldiers on the parade ground.

The arrival of the city lord brought the atmosphere of the Third Army to a small climax. The entire parade ground was filled with cheers, and many female soldiers even started competing with each other for the wine on the table, which they could never finish.

"Brother Gaoyi, Juer wants to eat that meat skewers!" Zeng Wenyu, who was sitting on the stool, felt someone gently pulling his clothes. It was Juer acting coquettishly towards him.

"Meat skewers? Oh, yes, Jue'er, you want to eat barbecue, right? But I didn't prepare any meat today..."

"I have!"

Zeng Wenyu's face twitched as he watched the city lord take out a large pile of skewers from his storage ring. He was about to speak when Zhang Manyue beside him continued the city lord's words: "I brought the furnace with me, and I guarantee it's the same furnace you use! I made this specially at the blacksmith shop in the city, and it's exactly the same as the one you made at the blacksmith shop before!"

Since the skewers and the oven were already there, and Jue'er was looking at him eagerly, what else could he say? He had to put down the food in his hands, wash the oil off his hands, stand up, walk behind the oven and start preparing.

"By the way, Gao Yi, I've read the battle report sent by General Hua. This time, you were able to force the Liang army to withdraw, and also brought ten years of peace to the border city. You have made great contributions. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"

Zeng Wenyu, who had just lit the fire, rolled his eyes. The treasury of the City Lord's Mansion was full of treasures for refining Qi, and he had no use for those things. Moreover, judging from Hua Wu Yue's appearance, she had just broken through after using heavy water. He couldn't even choose something to give as a gift, so what kind of reward could he ask for?

"Oh, I forgot that you can't practice Qi anymore," the city lord's mouth twitched a few times when he saw Zeng Wenyu rolling his eyes at him behind the oven, "Then tell me what you want? As long as I can get it, I'll pay a lot of money for it!"

Zeng Wenyu kept flipping the skewers on the grill: "Then City Lord, can I have some martial arts? A lot of martial arts, martial arts suitable for people like me who practice body building."

"Martial arts? It's not impossible. After all, after the decline of physical training, these martial arts are not as hidden as they were at the beginning. It's just that I need some time to collect them. Can you wait?"

"Ah... I wonder how many martial arts the city lord can collect and how long it will take?"

"About two days. I need to contact the Treasure Pavilion. Only with their coordination can we collect the most martial arts in the shortest time."

Two days? Zeng Wenyu was silent when he heard this. What would happen if he stayed here for two days? At least Li Qi and Zhang Qing would definitely come looking for him. It would not be so easy to get rid of them then.

Seeing Zeng Wenyu fall silent, the city lord frowned and said, "Why? Is it too long? Even though people don't pay much attention to martial arts now, many martial arts still need to be found. Two days is the shortest time."

"Okay, but please be quick, Lord, because I won't have much time to stay here."

"Oh? What's going on? I know you want to leave, but you can't even wait for two days, right?"

Hearing the city lord's question, Zeng Wenyu knew that Hua Wu Yue had not told the city lord about the matter of Li Qi and Zhang Qing. Although he didn't know why Hua Wu Yue didn't say it, Zeng Wenyu was not the kind of person who talked too much. He just said that he had urgent things to do and couldn't stay in the border city for too long.

"Okay, I'll try my best. But if time is compressed any further, I won't know whether what I collect is good or bad. You'll need to figure it out yourself. Tomorrow night, I'll give you everything I can collect."

"Thank you, City Lord!"

"Why thank you? You deserve a reward for your contribution. Since you have made such a contribution, I will not let you suffer any loss."

After saying this to Zeng Wenyu, the city lord turned around and started chatting with the three generals. Only Jue'er was left standing next to Zeng Wenyu, drooling as he looked at the skewers of meat on the grill.

"Brother Gaoyi, are you still not well? Juer is so hungry."

Zeng Wenyu wiped the oil off his hands and pinched Juer's soft little face: "It's almost ready. Let Juer eat it first when it's out of the oven, okay?"

Juer was not angry at all because Zeng Wenyu pinched her face. She still looked at the skewers on the grill eagerly: "Okay! Juer wants to eat it before daddy and uncle!"

Finally, he sprinkled some seasonings on the skewers. The skewers were already roasted and smelled fragrant. He gave some to Jue'er who was standing next to him. After Jue'er took the skewers, her face was full of joy. She ran to her small table next to her and began to eat slowly.

Only after seeing Jue'er start eating did Zeng Wenyu bring the other grilled skewers to the city lord and the others.
