Your Majesty said that my life is worthless, so why are you crying when I increase my troops?

Noon the next day.

Xia Mingyuan slept until noon before waking up from his sleep.

He opened his eyes and felt around, but Zhao Hongying was no longer on the bed.

Recalling the shy look of this woman who clutched the quilt tightly last night and refused to let him get close, Xia Mingyuan couldn't help but smile slightly.

He got up, put on his clothes and walked out of the house.

"Commander!"

Seeing Xia Ming coming from afar, Zhang Wei hurried forward to meet him.

At this moment, he followed Xia Mingyuan's instructions, took off his armor and put on a set of coarse cloth, but he was still as vigorous as a dragon and a tiger.

Just looking at it makes people feel scared.

"Commander, early this morning, a scholar named Lu Fengxian came to see you outside the gate."

"I saw you were resting, so I told him to wait in the front yard."

Xia Mingyuan grinned and thought to himself that Lu Fengxian actually gave him such a name. No wonder when he saw him that day, he cried and asked him to be his adoptive father.

"Let him in."

Xia Mingyuan gave an order and turned to look at Zhao Hongying who was practicing martial arts in the yard.

"Why are you so hardworking?" Xia Mingyuan waved at her. "There are dozens of soldiers in this yard. It would be much better for you to just be a peaceful wife."

Zhao Hongying hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward and called out weakly, "Husband."

"Don't look so aggrieved all the time. Hurry up and smile for me."

"What did you say last night? You'll just stay by my side for the next month. After I destroy the Poison Dragon Gang, you can stay and be my concubine."

"Remember! Your enemy is the overlord of this world. Killing him won't be easy. If you rush into it, you'll only get yourself into trouble."

"I……"

Zhao Hongying's face flushed red as she recalled the scene in the room last night and was too embarrassed to look up.

This was the first time in her life that she realized being a concubine was more than just calling her husband...

"My dear, practicing martial arts is like rowing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you don't practice for a day, you will become rusty. I must practice every day." Zhao Hongying said timidly.

Xia Mingyuan nodded slightly when he heard this, and suddenly asked, "At my age, is it too late for me to learn martial arts?"

Zhao Hongying was stunned, looked up and down at Xia Mingyuan, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Xia Mingyuan ordered immediately.

Zhao Hongying gritted her teeth and said, "Excuse me for being blunt, but although my husband looks tall and mighty, he is weak and his physical foundation is not solid. If he wants to learn martial arts, I'm afraid he will have to suffer a lot more than others."

"Cough cough."

Xia Mingyuan couldn't help but blush when his concubine called him weak in public.

But soon, his eyes lit up and he looked at Zhao Hongying with burning gaze.

"So, this young master still has hope of learning martial arts, but it will just be more difficult?"

Ever since coming to the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Mingyuan has had a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

Daxia is no longer as peaceful and prosperous as it was in the previous life.

Even though the Chinese people have a lot of martial virtues, when faced with things like criminal detention, criminal records, and the impact on three generations, they have all become gentle and polite, and believe in being a gentleman who uses words instead of violence.

If you encounter a good situation where the other party takes the first step, you can even lie down on the spot and open Dongchedi.

However, in Daxia, even if he was surrounded by a group of tiger guards, there would always be times when he was left alone.

What's more, he will lead troops to fight and charge into battle in the future!

If you don't know how to fight, how can you reason with others?

Practice martial arts!

You have to learn a few tricks no matter what!

Zhao Hongying shook her head and sighed, "My husband has all his limbs intact, so he can certainly practice martial arts. However, without the foundation of boyhood training, even if he works hard to make up for it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach a higher ceiling."

"Even I, because my childhood skills were not strong enough, have only just reached the second-rate level after practicing diligently now!"

"With your strength, you're only second-rate?" Xia Mingyuan smacked his lips, recalling the day when Zhao Hongying descended from the sky and used his graceful body movements to attack Xia Xue among three hundred people. If he hadn't reacted quickly, Xia Xue would have been beheaded, and Zhao Hongying would have even escaped unscathed!

With such strength, he has just entered the second-rate?

Zhao Hongying nodded and said in a deep voice, "The soldiers beside my husband today are obviously the elite of the elite. However, soldiers are different from warriors. Soldiers focus on coordination in battle, while warriors usually act alone."

"If I face one of those guards head-on, even if they are very powerful and already at the third-rate level, they are no match for me. But if seven or eight of these elite soldiers attack me together, I will be defeated immediately."

"That day, in front of my husband's three hundred ordinary soldiers, a second-rate master like me had to surrender. Apart from holding the princess hostage, there was no possibility of escape."

"But if I were a top-notch expert and I really wanted to escape, these three hundred people would definitely not be able to stop me."

Hearing this, Xia Mingyuan almost dropped his jaw in shock.

I didn’t expect that the strength of this first-class master would be so terrifying!

"I want to learn martial arts, even if it's just some tricks to save my life in critical moments."

"I wonder if you could teach me?"

Without any hesitation, Xia Mingyuan made up his mind immediately.

Zhao Hongying was stunned. She raised her head and looked into Xia Mingyuan's eyes. After hesitating for a while, she finally nodded slightly.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps came.

I saw Lu Fengxian and Lu Xiucai jogging towards this side with his body bent.

"Meet Mr. Xia, meet Miss Zhao."

Lu Fengxian was about to bow to Xia Mingyuan and Zhao Hongying.

Xia Mingyuan stopped him with a wave of his hand, "No need to be so polite. Has your mother's whereabouts been settled?"

Lu Fengxian nodded repeatedly, his face full of excitement. "Mr. Xia gave me some money that day. After returning home, I hired a doctor from Huichuntang for my mother. He prescribed a few new prescriptions for her. Now my mother looks much rosier."

"Early this morning, she urged me to come to the princess's residence and told me to serve you well and repay you for saving my life."

Xia Mingyuan nodded gently and said in a deep voice, "Since you have decided to work with me, I will not treat you unfairly. From today on, your monthly salary will be temporarily set at thirty taels of silver. If you do well in the future, it will increase further."

"If your family is short of money, you can withdraw it from here."

"How much, how much?"

Lu Xiucai was still nodding his head, but when he heard the number from Xia Mingyuan, he was stunned and stood there, unable to believe his ears for a moment.

"I'm talking about a monthly salary of thirty taels of silver. Is there any problem?" Xia Mingyuan repeated.

There was a pop.

Lu Xiucai knelt directly on the ground with a determined look on his face.

"Sir, no, godfather, who do you want me to kill? If you know where that person is now, I will go there now!"
