Having more skills is never a bad thing; you can try them out when you get back.

Clean up the scene properly.

Chen Sanshi carried the corpses into the Luotian Mountains, watched them being devoured by wolves, then killed a tiger and carried it down the mountain, returning home before nightfall.

The dinner table.

He recounted the upcoming campaign.

"Are you leaving again?"

"How long have you been back?"

"Is Father going to war again?"

"..."

"Soldiers are not free to choose their own path."

Chen Sanshi clasped his hands and said, "Ninth Senior Sister, after I leave this time, I don't know when I will be able to return. Please take good care of my wife, children and elderly family!"

"Do not worry."

Rong Yanqiu held a piece of pastry: "Even if I have to go back to Yanzhou, I can send them to the Governor's Mansion. It's much safer there."

The governor's mansion naturally also has high-level guards.

Chen Sanshi nodded: "Hmm, that works too."

"anyway."

Rong Yanqiu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you aware of the situation in the east this time?"

"We all know the general situation. General Meng is very capable. He fought a brilliant battle. The only thing to worry about is that if we want to recover the three prefectures, our troop strength is still a bit tight."

Chen Sanshi simply used his wine cup and rice bowl as a map: "The most important problem for the Great Sheng Dynasty is that everything is interconnected. At present, the Western Qi Kingdom has not yet recovered, but the Southern Xu Kingdom and the grassland barbarians are still eyeing us covetously."

"Especially the Southern Xu Kingdom, which borders Dongqing as well. If this war continues, the Southern Xu Kingdom might send reinforcements."

"Because if the three eastern states are lost, the Great Sheng Dynasty will be able to look down on the Southern Xu. They must understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'."

"If the troops in the east continue to increase, war will break out again in the north and south."

"You're right."

Rong Yanqiu tapped the table with her long fingernails: "The imperial court also has concerns about this. As far as I know, the Prince of Zhennan went to war with the Southern Xu Kingdom a month ago. Although he has tied up their two Martial Saints in the south, the Southern Xu Kingdom has been building up its strength over the years, and it is likely that it can still spare a lot of troops. It's just that without Martial Saints, it has slightly reduced the pressure. As for the barbarians, we and the boss have stayed in the northern border and haven't moved. They shouldn't cause any trouble."

Beware of the Witch God Cult.

Chen Sanshi warned, "The Witch God Cult and the barbarians are essentially in cahoots. Their rampage might actually be of some help to the barbarians."

"I know this."

Rong Yanqiu said, "Junior Brother, you also need to be careful. Last time in Mingzhou, everyone thought we would crush it, but an accident still happened... Alright, there's no need for me to say this. Your brain works better than mine. Plus, Fourth Brother is here this time, so there shouldn't be any problems. Just like last time, I wish you great merit and that you will be rewarded and honored at Ziwei Mountain!"

Sun Buqi also joined in the toast.

After drinking, everyone gradually dispersed.

"Old Xu isn't here, otherwise we could have chatted for a bit."

"I guess we won't see him for a long time."

If Chen Sanshi remembered correctly, east of Youzhou, there were not only rebels and bandits, but also a neighboring "Wei Kingdom," located between Dongqing and Dasheng. It was a small country with only two provinces and no martial saint.

The trouble over there might also be related to the State of Wei.

That's it.

There's plenty of time to consider these military matters; even by water, it would take at least one or two months to reach the destination.

I should spend the next two days with my wife and kids.

After seeing the guests off, Chen Sanshi went to the master bedroom in the second courtyard.

on the bed.

Gu Xinlan held her son in her arms, while Chen Yunxi learned needlework.

"Brother Shi, are you leaving again?"

Gu Xinlan said reluctantly, "By the time you come back, our son will already be able to talk."

"Cough cough!"

Chen Sanshi cleared his throat: "Xixi, how about you sleep in the next room with Duhe tonight?"

"Okay, Daddy and Mommy can live together."

Chen Yunxi put down what she was holding and, with some difficulty, carried her younger brother to find Siqin Mohua.

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

Chen Duhe seemed very unwilling and burst into tears.

"Snapped!"

Chen Sanshi couldn't wait to get into bed.

"Brother Shi, what are you doing?"

"What do you think? It's been a year already. I've been a monk for a year."

It's been almost three months since I gave birth, and my body has recovered quite a bit.

"Wait a moment."

Gu Xinlan pointed to the locked box, her pretty face flushed, and said, "Inside...inside are those incomplete clothes that you asked me to make last time..."

……

Later in the night.

That damned Chen Duhe started crying loudly, so they had to take him back to breastfeed. Chen Sanshi had no choice but to pack up and go back to the backyard. He slept until almost dawn, then got up to continue practicing his sword qi technique.

[Spell: Sword Qi Technique (Mastery)]

【Progress: 255/1000】

There is still a long way to go before we achieve even a minor success.

However, the incense offerings are clearly insufficient.

"On our way to the eastern border, we will pass through many prefectures and cities."

"There must also be many temples and Taoist monasteries that are very popular with worshippers."

"We'll find another opportunity to get some more."

Chen Sanshi held the Xuanzhu and thought to himself.

If mastering sword qi is enough to kill someone at the entry level of the Profound Elephant Realm, then cultivating it to the minor or even major level is still very necessary, as it might have unexpected effects on the battlefield.

Moreover, the incense offerings of the Incense God Cult were originally stolen from the gods.

It wouldn't be a big deal if he stole a few more.

I just don't know what the Incense God Cult uses the incense they collect for.

Ningxiang said that something important was about to happen in the capital.

But if he goes to the east, he probably won't get involved in it anytime soon.

good thing.

"What a pity! If only the profound energy inside the Xuan Pearl could be put to good use!"

Chen Sanshi stared at the accumulating Xuan Qi inside, recalling the Red Eyebrow Army's battle formation.

If used properly.

They will be a surprise force!

Unfortunately, he pretended not to understand the Heavenly Book and was unable to practice the formations within it.

Be adaptable.

This time, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he really won't have a chance to do anything. It seems that the Eastern Territory has two Martial Saints, four or five Profound Elephant Realm experts, and an army of 150,000.

The eastern region already had a large population, and with the addition of people transferred from the Central Plains, it could be said that it had one-fifth of the Great Sheng's strength. The remaining four-fifths had their own uses and could not be transferred at will, which was already the limit for the east.

early morning.

Gu Xinlan pushed open the door and brought out a pure white, fitted robe: "We agreed that you would wear the new battle robe I made for you every time you went to war."

"fit."

Chen Sanshi straightened his clothes: "Sister Lan, let me comb your hair too."

After a few more casual words, the couple finished their conversation.

Chen Sanshi donned his armor, took his gun, and walked out of the courtyard. He quickly bid farewell to everyone, and when he reached the gate, he waved. Qianxun, understanding his intentions, rushed over to greet him. He mounted his horse and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
