Come to the end of the world with all the teachers and students of the school

Chapter 131 Ten Years of Penance
When they came to the main meeting hall of the Cao Mansion, all the people with the right to speak in the Cao Mansion gathered here.

Everyone in the Cao family plus the head coach, team trainer, general affairs, steward, and Li Shou who arrived last.

After Li Shou came, he was invited to the upper seat and sat with Cao Fang. Seeing that he was so polite, Li Shou knew that the Cao family must have something to ask of him.

"Nephew Li Xian, when you arrive, our Cao family's business can begin." Cao Fang is a middle-aged man in his 50s who has been practicing martial arts all year round and looks very burly.

Li Shou had heard of his strength, he was slightly inferior to Li Tang, but it was about the same.

Specifically, it should be the weakest among the eighth-level public vehicles or the strongest among the ninth-level five doctors.

"Patriarch Cao asked me to come here to discuss what?"

"My nephew asked bluntly, and I'll be blunt. After the fall of Huya Pass, the Qing army began to enter the pass. Every city couldn't resist it, and our Xuangui City should be no exception. But now I have received news that reinforcements from our Zhou Kingdom will arrive soon. Let us defend Xuangui City for a few days. Even if we can't defend Xuangui City, we must also defend Cao Mansion..."

"Wait, I didn't understand a little bit. Why didn't you send reinforcements when Huya Pass was there before, but now that Huya Pass is lost, you send people here. Is this news accurate?"

"This is related to the outcome of the other main battlefields. Cai Mijun's side won the victory, freeing up manpower. Moreover, Huya Pass is not completely lost, and several large strongholds have not been breached. When the reinforcements arrive, experts can also rush over. If they can reoccupy Hulao Pass, they can just cut off the supply and make the Qing army entering the pass a soft-shelled turtle."

"Uh." Li Shou didn't know much about military tactics, but he could tell that Zhou Guo didn't have a backup.

And because there are super masters in this world, sometimes the battlefield situation changes even more rapidly. No matter how disadvantageous the battle situation is, a first-level official-level master may come to turn things around.

"Then what you came to discuss with me is..."

"Should we leave or stay?" Cao Fang got to the point, "You have seen it these days. The Cao Mansion has been sorting out the belongings, but it has not left. I am also hesitating..."

Then Cao Fang began to explain the reason, and Li Shou understood.

The Cao family didn't want to leave, because this kind of local wealthy family that relies on land relies heavily on local land.

Leaving the native land means rapid decline.

And even if you leave now, you won't be able to come back after the Qing army is driven away in the future.

If you don't guard your own territory, no matter how strict the laws of Zhou State are, you will not allow the gentry to go and return, and the land will be returned.

And the local people wouldn't be willing to do it—the Qing army would fight and run away if they were domineering on weekdays, and now they want to come back?
The gentry should also talk about the law and fame. After offending the officials and the people, they will never come back after leaving.

But if they don't leave, the people of the Cao family don't know whether they can defend Xuangui City and Cao's house, and if they can't wait for reinforcements, when the city is broken, according to the Qing army's method, their whole family, young and old, will not be able to survive.

That's why they wanted to ask Li Shou, after all, he is now the strongest fighting force in the Cao Mansion.

"oh, I understand now."

The Cao family is hesitating, this is a gamble, a gamble of "net worth" and "life".

After all, Li Shou was an outsider. If they declared that they wanted to leave, they would not be able to keep him with the family.

If Li Shou stayed, it would be hard to say.

"Well, based on Master Cao's point of view, how sure is it that the Xuangui City will be defended until the reinforcements arrive?"

"Including Cao Mansion's soldiers and county and county soldiers and horses, it's only five or five."

"Then I suggest that it is better to defend the city." Li Shou turned his mind and said, "If you migrate, with so many people and so much property, it will be easy to be targeted by Qing Guo's army, and the road may not be safe. Moreover, if the foundation of the Cao Mansion for so many years is destroyed, let alone me, I will feel unwilling."

"What does Nephew Li Xian mean?"

"If the Patriarch doesn't dislike it, I will live and die with the Cao Mansion!"

Li Shou was impassioned on the surface, but his heart was full of his own calculations.

Migration is definitely not good for the students. If you encounter a master or a young army outside the city, the probability of damage to the first and third classes is very high.

And even if there were no obstacles during the migration, he would have to turn back in order to earn points.

And it's much better to stay behind.

When the Qing army besieged the city, he relied on the favorable location to defend the city with the army. Even if the outer city resisted for two days, Cao's mansion could withstand it for one day, and it would be fine if he couldn't hold it in the end.

In three days, Li Shou had already earned enough points, even if he couldn't hold on in the end, everyone completed the task together and disappeared on the spot, a perfect curtain call.

Although this trick was a bit too despicable, the people in Cao's mansion also watched people order dishes and used him all the time.

You use me, and I use you, very "fair".

Besides, you did provide protection, and so did I!

Double fairness!

The only ones who showed any real kindness to him were Li Tang and Cao Muzhi. If he had spare energy, Li Shou would definitely protect them from death.

As for the others, he can't control that much.

"Nephew Li Xian, I'll just wait for your words!" Sure enough, as soon as Li Shou finished speaking, Cao Fang was very excited.

Of course he didn't want to leave, he wanted Li Shou to stay and work hard, but he couldn't say anything, and now the two hit it off.

A strategy was decided on the spot.

don't go!
Next, Cao Fang wanted to have a banquet to thank Li Shou for promising him land and property. Li Shou was too lazy to deal with him, let alone waste time, so he just shirked and went back.

The battle was imminent, and he wanted to practice the last bit of "Whispering Wind Kung Fu".

If he still has time, he still wants to practice the second half of "Earth Action".

I have been practicing "speed" recently, and I don't have time to practice "defense" which is the cost of eating.

Time is strength.

After finalizing the plan, Li Shou quickly went back to inform the students of his plan, and then retreated to practice again.

……

three days later.

Li Shou danced in the wind, and his mentality, posture, and movement rhythms were integrated with the rules of the wind. He lay on his back in the air, as if he was lying on his back on the water, and slowly floated up.

In the next moment, the wind changed from extremely quiet to extremely turbulent, and the "water surface" where Li Shou was lying on his back suddenly turned into a howling gust of wind. He took off against the wind and reached a height of tens of meters.

Li Shou pushed out his palm towards the open space below, and the whirling storm hit the ground, flying sand and rocks, and ravines plowed by the wind appeared on the ground.

"It's done!"

Li Shou was suspended in the air, feeling the rules of the wind.

There is still a way to go, but the cultivation method recorded in "Wind Howl Kung Fu" ends here!

He has learned this exercise to perfection.

It took him about three months to practice this exercise thoroughly.

Converted to an ordinary person, it is equivalent to more than ten years of cultivation.

And this "ten years" is still a "ten years" that can't be closed, and it is almost non-stop, except for eating and sleeping.

There are no passes in the middle, no bottlenecks, and no jams.

Therefore, the quality of the so-called "ten years" is also very high. Those who can do hard work for ten years must be people with great perseverance, and those who can do ten years without bottlenecks must be geniuses.

The two are indispensable, so that it can be compared with Li Shou's three-month penance.

This is the power of the "Great Late Stage". From the first mission, Li Shou has been paving the way for the later stage.
