I searched for corpses in the Wuding River to extract entries

After Zhao Yuan was awarded the title of Champion, to everyone's surprise, he actually chose to return home.

As Zhao Yuan now understands the truth of martial arts more and more clearly, he now only wants to break the shackles of martial arts and break through to the master level.

Worldly desires could no longer restrain him, and he rejected the emperor's offers of marriage and officialdom.

In desperation, the emperor could only let Zhao Yuan go after making him a hussar general.

But they also agreed that if Da Cai was in trouble, Zhao Yuan would come back.

Zhao Yuan quietly returned to Yancheng with the gold treasures rewarded by the emperor.

At this moment, nearly two years have passed since Zhao Yuan was admitted to the martial arts examination.

Butcher Xie had already built a mansion outside Yancheng with the banknotes sent by Zhao Yuan.

He is very sensible, and the sign on his mansion is Zhao Mansion.

Even though Zhao Yuan was just a door-to-door son-in-law, this son-in-law has now turned over.

Butcher Xie also understood that the one who could really make the decision in this family now was Zhao Yuan, not himself.

Today is a happy day. He happily waited for the custom-made plaque for his new residence from Fengxin County.

It is made of Huaixiang wood and looks extremely luxurious. The large characters on it were written by the governor of Fengxin County himself.

It's called "Champion House"!
Zhao Yuan's outstanding achievements are enough for everyone in Fengxin County to look up to him.

Even Xu Zifu dragged his old body to Yancheng to congratulate the butcher and his family.

Today, many Fengxin County officials gathered in the Hou Mansion.

In Yancheng, only the county magistrates were qualified to welcome Zhao Yuan here.

In the evening, more than a dozen figures came galloping on horseback from the rural road.

Xu Zifu narrowed his eyes and looked back at the sunset.

The figure of the leader was so burly that it was terrifying to see him.

But from the familiar lines, he still recognized that this was Zhao Yuan, the world-famous champion and hussar general.

It's just that Zhao Yuan's size has expanded by one degree compared to when Xu Zifu first met him.

Xu Zifu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't know whether it was because the food in the army was too good, or because the martial arts practiced by Zhao Yuan had this effect.

Such as Zhao Yuan's abnormal strength and such a huge body.

Wearing heavy armor and blunt weapons, you become a living meat grinder on the battlefield.

As long as Zhao Yuan's physical strength is not exhausted, he will be everyone's nightmare on the battlefield.

As the team gradually approached, the icy atmosphere of the warriors gradually solidified the excitement.

There are more than ten cavalrymen behind Zhao Yuan, and they also have amazing temperament.

The indifference in his eyes was as if he would not be shaken even if the world collapsed.

Xu Zifu knew that these qualities must have been tempered after experiencing thousands of battles on the battlefield.

Each one of them could be said to have walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and each of them carried the lives of more than a hundred people.

Xu Zifu also knew one of them.

It was He Mingtao who came out of Fengxin County and was recommended by him to join the Yuetian Cavalry.

Since he could see He Mingtao, and in the last battle, Zhao Yuan became the commander of Yue Tianqi, he also knew the identities of the others.

These are the elite forces in the Yuetian Cavalry.

Xu Zifu was a little surprised.

If these people were placed on the battlefield, the power they could exert could be comparable to that of thousands of people.

And when it comes to military merit, although not everyone can be like Zhao Yuan, and be granted the title of marquis and prime minister.

But it is definitely easy to get an officer position in the army.

But now it seems that they followed Zhao Yuan back to Yancheng County.

He was a little confused. He didn't know whether it was Zhao Yuan's personal charm that was too strong for them to follow, or whether Zhao Yuan had made some promise for them.

Zhao Yuan's temperament is still the same as two years ago, and the blood of a scholar is still flowing in his bones.

After all, after studying hard for nearly 30 years, the meaning of the scriptures has penetrated deeply into his bones.

Even though he was made a prince, he still treated others with humility, without any intention of being arrogant or looking down on others.

After Zhao Yuan entered the house, the first thing he did was to get together with his wife after two years of absence.

He had nothing to hide and told himself everything he had experienced in the past two years.

Although Xie Cuier is only the daughter of a butcher, she can clearly distinguish the important and the important.

After hearing that Zhao Yuan had joined the army, Xie Cuier worshiped Buddha and chanted sutras all day long, just to pray for Zhao Yuan's safety.

Seeing Zhao Yuan return now, Xie Cuier's anxious heart finally fell.

But Butcher Xie had already told Xie Cui'er.

She failed to give birth to an heir for Zhao Yuan, although she had two daughters.

But without a son, she would not be able to secure her position as the champion's wife.

What's more, she is now nearly forty years old. Even if she has the strength to spare, she has been diagnosed by a doctor as being unable to have children again.

So after hearing her father's instructions, she asked Zhao Yuan to find a real wife outside who could give birth to a son for him.

She just needs to be a side room.

Facing such a sensible wife, Zhao Yuan just shook his head.

Nowadays, he doesn't care much about these things.

Giving birth to children was the same to him.

After receiving the dignitaries, Zhao Yuan finally took a breath.

He was also very grateful to Xu Zifu for giving him the opportunity.

Xu Zifu admired Zhao Yuan's ability even more.

After all, it was Zhao Yuan who single-handedly helped Xu Zifu's niece take the position of queen.

This also makes the Xu family extremely prominent now, becoming the largest family in the entire province.

It's just that Zhao Yuan has no interest in officialdom now, which is a great pity for Xu Zifu.

After all, with Zhao Yuan's ability, he would definitely be able to help Da Cai expand his territory.

It might be possible to be crowned the king of the opposite sex in the future.

But now Zhao Yuan is completely obsessed with martial arts, and longs to one day reach the "immortal" realm in his memory.

And the Yuetian Cavalry soldiers he brought back were precisely because they were successful in practicing martial arts under his guidance, so he boldly asked the emperor to bring them back with him.

But there is also a condition, that is, after three years, he will return these soldiers to the army.

Zhao Yuan has no confidence in his heart, and he doesn't know whether he can break the shackles of martial arts within three years.

After he sent away the guests and comforted his wife and daughter, he returned to a peaceful life.

The gold and silver treasures rewarded by the emperor were almost countless, and together with the gifts given by the dignitaries, it was enough to feed half of Yancheng County.

Therefore, Zhao Yuan did not hesitate to eat and drink, and almost tasted all the meats that could be seen on the market.

Finally, I chose the one with the best effect of supplementing qi and blood, and consumed it in large amounts every day.

It is supplemented with decoctions and taken internally and externally to enhance physical fitness.

Many sergeants also ate and drank with Zhao Yuan under such luxurious conditions.

The martial arts cultivation of the sergeants has almost improved by leaps and bounds.

In just three months, some people began to enter the innate realm of martial arts one after another.

Don't think that this speed is very slow. According to Xie Que's memory, Zhao Yuan knew that these sergeants were already rare geniuses among warriors.

But within three months, Zhao Yuan himself had not made any progress in his realm.

He just felt that his blood was getting thicker and his body was getting harder.

But what troubled him the most was his inability to complete the step of breaking his dantian.

Zhao Yuan felt a little unsatisfied. He punched the tree next to him, but it easily broke a thousand-year-old tree that only two people could hug.With a loud noise, countless branches and leaves fell down, and the soldiers practicing martial arts in the forest all stared at Zhao Yuan in front of them with their mouths open.

Although they knew that Zhao Yuan was amazingly powerful and powerful.

But I didn't expect that he was so strong!

They tried hard, but even 12 people couldn't lift the broken trunk.

But Zhao Yuan could lift it easily with one hand.

Zhao Yuan made some estimates on his own, and found that he should now have almost seventy times the energy and blood of an ordinary grandmaster.

Generally speaking, if you can reach five times, you can break the shackles and become a martial saint.

But when it came to him, it was already fourteen times this amount, but he still couldn't break his dantian.

Which link did the problem lie in? This puzzled Zhao Yuan.

More than half a year passed, and the sky was covered with heavy snow.

Due to lack of food, the Yuancha people in the north began to invade Dacai's territory on a large scale, plundering resources, clothing, food, etc. from border towns.

Although each operation is small-scale, it cannot withstand dozens or even hundreds of teams operating at the same time.

When the emperor heard about this, Long Yan was furious and issued an edict. When the next spring comes and the ice melts and the snow melts, he will lead the expedition in person.

Although he is an emperor, he is not a fool.

Knowing that because the Yuancha people live in such a world of ice and snow, they have a very strong ability to survive in such a harsh environment, even if they want to conquer, they should choose the right time.

Prior to this, the emperor began to fortify the border areas tightly, and soldiers were on duty all night.

Although it could not completely prevent the Yuancha people from plundering, it was still effective.

In April of the following year, the emperor led more than 60 troops gathered from all over the country and began to attack the Yuancha people in the north.

The Yuancha people also have their own country.

But their culture is completely different from Da Cai.

They do not farm, but rely almost entirely on livestock raising and catching fish from ice holes.

This is not the first time the emperor has gone out to conquer the country personally.

Five years ago, he also went south to conquer the Yue slaves.

It was because of the great victory at that time that the emperor's self-confidence began to expand extremely, leading to the current aggressive military campaign.

After leaving Tianma Pass, the emperor's army completely entered the country of the Yuancha people.

The environment in Yuancha Kingdom is extremely harsh. Apart from the grasslands, there is the endless deserted Gobi Desert.

There is little water on it, and almost no living life can be seen.

Along the way, the emperor did not see any Yuan Cha people.

Even in an oasis that was rich in resources and relied on rivers, he only saw traces of the Yuancha people's existence, but he did not see any living Yuancha people.

If there were no traces showing that there were traces of Yuancha people living here not long ago, the emperor would have thought that he had gone in the wrong direction.

As supplies became more and more difficult, some soldiers died of thirst because they could not stand the too dry weather in just three hundred miles of the Gobi Desert.

In desperation, the emperor had to send half of the army back to the court.

He continued to advance with an army of 30.

Although the number of people was reduced by half, he was still extremely confident.

After all, the Yuancha people are just a small country in the north of Da Cai, living in a small place. There are three other countries, Jin, Gao and Xian, entrenched in the north of Da Cai.

After walking for several hundred miles, the army arrived at an empty city.

The water source was clear enough. Looking at the exhausted soldiers, the emperor also knew that he had been tired all the way, so he wanted to rest in the city for a day to regroup his troops.

After a poison test, it was found that the water in the city's rivers was harmless and could be drunk freely, and the emperor was relieved.

Only a few teams were left on duty at the city gate in rotation.

After all, this empty city is a famous gateway town for the Yuancha people, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

As long as the city gates are guarded, and there is sufficient food supply, it will not be a problem to persist for several months.

But what I didn't expect was that this empty city was the ambush set by the four kingdoms of Yuancha, Jin, Gao, and Xian for Da Cai.

They cooperated inside and outside, and at midnight, a fire broke out in the city.

There were also sounds of charging and killing outside the city.

The emperor calmed down his mind and assigned people to put out the fire and defend the city. Everything was in order.

The fire was actually stabilized within half an hour and the incoming enemies from the outside were blocked.

But because of this, they were trapped in this empty city.

The emperor gritted his teeth and wanted to send spies back to the country to call for reinforcements.

However, several cavalry charges were carried out, but they were unable to penetrate the army outside the city.

It wasn't until half a month later that a scout successfully returned to Da Cai.

The scout did not go to the capital, but went directly south to the territory of Yancheng, Fengxin County.

At this moment, Zhao Yuan was still comprehending the secrets of martial arts.

Until the scout's horse fell to the ground, and the scout fainted in front of him.

He just knew that the emperor was in trouble. This man had been galloping for seven days and nights before he came to him thousands of miles away.

Zhao Yuan did not hesitate, summoned twelve Yue Tianqi sergeants and set off.

Each of them rode a huge horse nearly one foot tall.

These are exotic horses bred in a foreign land. They are extremely powerful. Each horse can pull thousands of kilograms of things and can even wrestle with an elephant.

The price is naturally extremely expensive.

It costs almost a thousand horses to exchange for such a batch of precious horses.

Subsequently, the Thirteen Cavalry arrived at the important town in the north. Zhao Yuan mobilized three thousand cavalry with the command of General Hussar before getting up again.

But Zhao Yuan knew that the emperor definitely couldn't wait at this moment.

They led the cavalry, each taking turns with two horses. Except for eating, drinking and resting, they spent the rest of the time running wildly together.

It was nearly 4000 miles from Yancheng to Yuancha, and they arrived in five days.

Afterwards, Zhao Yuan led three thousand cavalry and began a thrilling decisive battle with the armies of the four countries.

The thirteen cavalry he personally led were almost barren of vegetation wherever they went.

For half an hour, their attacks did not stop.

If the sword is broken or curled, replace it with the enemy's.

When the horse got tired, he jumped up and grabbed a horse.

The 13 of them, like a tireless killing machine, actually killed the combined army of more than 40 people to the point of collapse, and they began to flee backwards.

At this moment, although the three thousand cavalry brought by Zhao Yuan only had less than one thousand left.

But under the leadership of Thirteen Cavalry, they fought a bloody path.

There were almost [-] to [-] soldiers from the Four Kingdoms lying dead on the battlefield.

Even so, Zhao Yuan still did not give up.

The 13 people took a short rest and then began a battle of continuously attacking the enemy's camp.

In the endless desert next door, 13 people hacked more than 7000 kilometers.

Weapons, horses, and supplies all depended on looting. In two months, more than 30 people were killed and the army was completely defeated.

Almost every night, soldiers escaped.

Because they don't know when those thirteen death-like figures will come.

Finally, after the kings of the four kingdoms took the initiative to surrender, Zhao Yuan also stopped chasing and signed an agreement with them.

The Qianli territory from Kongcheng to the north of Dacai has now become Dacai territory! (End of chapter)
