Transmigration begins with archery training

Only Liu Jinkui stayed behind and shouted towards the city wall, "Commander Zhao, please keep an eye on things. Old Wang and Old Chen might be back soon!"

"Okay, don't worry."

Zhao Kang outwardly agreed, but inwardly sighed.

Unless there are major unforeseen circumstances, the reunion is unlikely to be delayed.

This unexpected turn of events meant that they had been discovered by barbarian cavalry...

The possibility of them returning is extremely slim.

……

"Second uncle!"

Song Yan rode up to the deputy commander and whispered, "Has something happened to Lord Chen and the others?"

"how could I know?"

Luo Dongquan sneered: "It's not bad if something happens, it just so happens that you'll qualify as a substitute striker!"

"Second Uncle, I can't do it..."

Song Yan was utterly demoralized: "The gap between me and Lord Chen is too vast. He has already mastered the bone cultivation technique, while I have only barely achieved minor success in blood cultivation."

"Four months to achieve minor mastery of blood cultivation, is that slow?!"

Luo Dongquan said with resentment, "You're no worse than most people, you just met a monster! After he dies, it's a sure thing that you'll join the Eight Great Camps."

Those who lack natural talent should strive even harder.

Take his nephew as an example.

If you stay in Poyang County, the upper limit might be refining internal organs.

But if you go to the Grand Master's Mansion, even an outer disciple can reach the Transformation Realm, or at least the Transformation Realm, and the upper limit might be even higher!

How can we not fight for it?

As for what Xiang Tingchun said...

He believes at most half of it!

What, His Majesty is targeting the Governor's Office?

Does it make sense?

Even if it's not for the striker position.

It's also to nip the problem in the bud!

When you do something, you must go all the way.

"Yan'er, do you think I went too far? Do you think it was completely unnecessary to escalate to the point of life and death?"

Luo Dongquan smiled wryly and said, "Let me tell you a story."

Many years ago, when the young Grand Secretary Yan went to the capital to take the imperial examination, he accidentally bumped into a high-ranking official of the third rank.

"That official didn't really do anything to him, he just cursed Grand Secretary Yan as a country bumpkin."

"Fifteen years later, when Grand Secretary Yan came to power, he found a pretext to implicate high-ranking officials in a major case. Not only were their homes confiscated and they were exiled, but he also deliberately sold several of their daughters to the cheapest brothels..."

"Perhaps Chen Sanshi will forget the unpleasantness of the past, or perhaps he will not, but I cannot gamble, I cannot leave it to fate."

"So, do you understand?"

Song Yan seemed to understand: "I understand."

"Ah."

Luo Dongquan nodded with satisfaction.

A few months ago, when he tried to deceive Chen Sanshi into giving up his spot as a striker, the grudge was formed. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance that he would retaliate against him, he had to nip it in the bud!

It's better than living in constant fear one day when we hear that a great general has emerged from the Eight Great Camps.

Thankfully, it's all over!

"A large army is about to invade Poyang. You must perform well then!"

Luo Dongquan confessed.

……

Military settlements and residences.

In the dark and cold courtyard, two lanterns hung and a charcoal fire burned.

Gu Xinlan and the pregnant woman, Tong, sat quietly around the charcoal fire, waiting for news.

Sun Li was practicing her swordplay in the courtyard.

"Why haven't we heard anything for several days in a row? In the past, no matter what they did, they would at least leave a definite message."

Tong said nervously, "My son has never actually fought in a war... but thankfully he's with your Shi-ge'er, so he should be alright, right?"

"Ah."

Gu Xinlan clasped her hands tightly together: "It'll definitely be alright."

Night watchmen are on a classified mission, so naturally their families are not notified.

Sun Li knew this, but she couldn't say it. She just comforted him, "Don't worry, there aren't many people in Poyang who can do anything to Junior Brother with his cultivation level."

"boom!"

The voice just fell.

The courtyard gate was kicked open.

Sun Buqi said in a panic, "Sister, something's happened! I was guarding the military camp and I saw the other two groups of men return from outside the city, but Sanshi is nowhere to be seen!"

"what?"

Sun Li sheathed her sword: "They haven't returned?"

"Correct!"

Sun Buqi nodded emphatically: "I asked that centurion surnamed Liu, and he said that they didn't wait for half an incense stick's time at the assembly point, so they came back early."

"Sister Tong!"

Listen to the conversation between the two.

Tong, who was in the courtyard, collapsed on the spot and almost fainted.

Gu Xinlan helped her up and asked, "Sister Li, is...is something wrong?"

"Don't panic."

Sun Li reassured them, "They might be lost, or something might have delayed them. Just wait a little longer, and they'll probably be back soon."

"get lost?"

Gu Xinlan grasped the key point: "Shi Ge'er and the others have left the Great Wall?"

How could she not understand her own man?

How could someone who spends all day running around inside and outside Tiger Head Mountain possibly get lost?

If we're talking about getting lost, the only possibility is that we're on an unfamiliar grassland.

"Ah."

Sun Li tacitly agreed: "Let's wait a little longer."

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly seemed to freeze over.

There was no movement until dawn.

In the middle of the night, even Xu Wencai led Wang Li and the others over to investigate the situation.

There are female relatives in the house, so it's inconvenient to approach them; they just stand far away outside the door.

"Could something have happened to Lord Chen?"

Wang Li's expression was solemn as he pressed his hand to the sword at his waist: "Old Xu, say something! Deputy Commander Luo and Commander Liu have both returned, but the lord has not."

Xu Wencai paced back and forth, saying, "Don't panic, don't panic! The sir is a lucky man, he'll be alright!"

That's what they say.

A whole night passed.

Even as dawn broke, the military village remained eerily quiet.

"I knew all along that Tang Ruoshan was a good-for-nothing!"

Sun Buqi cursed loudly: "He killed Third Brother back then, and now he can't even protect Sanshi! That Xihe tribe only has one Refining Viscera Martial Artist!"

"Xihe..."

Gu Xinlan felt a chill in her heart.

Everyone in Poyang knows this.

The barbarians who came to massacre the village years ago were from the Xihe tribe.

Is this... being sent to the enemy's headquarters?

And yet he has not returned.

Would not it be……

Sun Buqi said anxiously, "Sister, what should we do? How about we borrow some men and go out to take a look?"

"Nonsense!"

Sun Li scolded, "Can you withstand a thousand troops? Keep waiting. If you don't come back today..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "That just means we're not meant to be with this junior brother."

The words were cruel.

But it is true.

soldier.

Is there anything that doesn't die?

Don't even mention Chen Sanshi.

Even before the Eight Great Camps, there were countless geniuses who died before they could fully mature.

"Ugh!"

Sun Buqi stomped his foot.

But we can only accept the facts.

"Woooooooo..."

Tong cried uncontrollably: "He insists on going to war, always clamoring at home to make meritorious contributions, but he doesn't even consider whether he has the ability. The child isn't even born yet..."

"..."

Gu Xinlan's eyes were red, but she didn't cry or make a fuss.

She simply went back inside, took out her needlework tools, and sat on a stone stool to sew stitch by stitch.

A faint light appeared in the east.

Hope in people's hearts was extinguished.

"Walk."

In the end, Sun Li couldn't bear it any longer: "Buqi, come with me out of the city and try to find it."
