Starting from the martial arts world, Gan became a true master of martial arts.

Chapter 266: A Little Warmth in Troubled Times

In the quiet central military tent, all the legion commanders became excited when they heard Fang Xuan's decision to unify Haizhou.

Fang Xuan turned his gaze and looked at Fang Li: "Xiao Li, why don't you see Patriarch Zheng Chuan?"

Today, the Haizhou Zheng family has completely joined the Dragon Whale Army. As Zheng Chuan is at the top of the Hidden Dragon List, he is the strongest fighter in the entire Dragon Whale Army except for Fang Xuan.

Ning Guanhai explained with a smile: "Patriarch Zheng went into seclusion a month ago. If he can successfully come out this time, our Dragon Whale Army will have a second warrior who has reached the fourth level."

"You two!" Fang Xuan murmured in a low voice.

After returning from Yuanling City, Fang Xuan learned that Haizhou Governor Mo Hongyi had eight generals, and these eight people were all warriors at the fourth level.

These are just the obvious ones.

The Dragon Whale Army only has him. If it comes to marching and fighting, Fang Xuan is sure that the Haizhou Royal Court Army is no match for the Dragon Whale Army.

However, the other side has many powerful warriors, which is actually the shortcoming of the Dragon Whale Army.

Fang Xuan turned his gaze and looked at the old man beside Sikong Jie and Sikong Jihuai: "How many warriors in the late third level of the Dragon Whale Army are there now?"

Sikong Jie calculated for a moment and replied, "Including me, there are five of us now."

"There should have been six people, but Sikong Xiao..."

When mentioning Sikong Xiao, everyone felt a little sad.

Fang Xuan nodded slightly and said, "I have gained a lot of cultivation techniques from this hard training. You will all follow me in a while. I will teach you the experience of impacting the third level."

"You have stayed in the third level for a long time and have accumulated a lot of experience. As long as you can break through the fourth level, we will suffer fewer losses when we go north to attack the Haizhou Royal Court Army."

There are not enough powerful warriors, so the only way to fill the gap is to use the lives of the soldiers.

This was the scene Fang Xuan least wanted to see.

When Sikong Jie heard Fang Xuan's words, he was shocked at first and could hardly believe his ears.

As a warrior, he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to practice martial arts, and the experience of reaching the fourth level would never be leaked to outsiders. Yet Fang Xuan wanted to pass on this experience to them.

You know, although the Sikong family in Pingjiang County cannot compare with those aristocratic families, it is much better than the independent cultivators.

This kind of reward is really precious.

"Military Lord!"

"Military Lord!"

Several warriors at the third level instantly knelt on the ground, bowing their heads.

To join the Dragon Whale Army, there was no need for such sensational words as swearing to follow till death, but at this moment, everyone was expressing their true feelings.

Seeing that several people were so moved that they were about to burst into tears, Fang Xuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you can successfully break through the fourth level, it will be the greatest reward for my Dragon Whale Army!"

The warriors of the Dragon Whale Army are all martial arts geniuses selected from hundreds of thousands, especially in terms of character which is far beyond that of ordinary people.

But nowadays, there are few high-level warriors in the Dragon Whale Army, mainly because of insufficient resources.

The Dragon Whale Army could not do what it did after occupying the city, and they exploited the people without any bottom line, and even sacrificed the people for some evil cultivation techniques.

Naturally, the resources available to warriors are relatively scarce.

After everyone left the big tent, five warriors in the late third level of the heavenly gate stayed in the tent.

Fang Xuan waved his right hand, and several cultivation techniques and a pile of talisman jades were piled on the desk in the tent.

"Ning Guanhai and Yue Zhenting, you have the most experience in martial arts. You two will go and buy the things you need for your cultivation."

"I only have one request for you. Break through the fourth level within a week!"

After Fang Xuan finished speaking, he looked at the five people quietly.

"Thank you, Lord Military Commander!"

The five people expressed their gratitude.

That night, the five of them gathered in the tent, and they couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Pingliao city.

The inner hall of the city lord’s mansion.

Zheng Anyan, who was wearing a dark red dress with wide sleeves, sat next to Fang Li. When she saw Fang Xuan come in, she enthusiastically served Fang Xuan a bowl of porridge.

Zheng Anyan, who had lost a lot of her gangster air, now looked like a lady from a wealthy family. "Where's Xiaoli?" Fang Xuan asked.

Fang Li was nowhere to be seen early in the morning.

"He's writing something. He said he wants to make a detailed plan for the future of the Dragon Whale Army." Zheng Anyan also served Fang Lan a bowl of porridge and explained to Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan nodded and buried his head in eating breakfast.

"Brother!"

Not long after, Fang Li sat down and ate the breakfast that Zheng Anyan had prepared for him.

Fang Xuan drank a sip of tea, looked at the two people who looked like a couple, and said with a smile: "Let's find an auspicious day in the next few days to hold your wedding."

Zheng Anyan smiled, her cheeks slightly red, and looked at Fang Li.

Fang Li thought about it, frowned and said: "Brother, since the army is preparing to march north, the marriage should wait until after the war!"

Fang Xuan waved his hand, acting like an elder brother to a father: "It doesn't affect each other. Besides, if you get married in front of the station, it will boost morale. This is settled. I will go to Sikong Jihuai later. He has experience in this area."

"Okay then, I'll listen to you, brother." Fang Li nodded. From childhood to adulthood, he had never refused anything his brother told him to do.

"Where is Xiaolan?" Fang Xuan asked curiously.

From childhood to adulthood, the person who liked to follow me the most was Fang Lan. This time, when she heard that I was back, Fang Lan was not so enthusiastic.

Fang Li smiled and said, "Xiao Lan is a very busy person now!"

Seeing Fang Xuan's puzzled look, Zheng Anyan explained: "Sister Xiaolan is now the shopkeeper of Longzihao, and she is in charge of the business of the eleven cities in Haizhou.

The army has been mobilized these days, so she is even busier.”

After Fang Li's further explanation, Fang Xuan realized that Fang Lan had started planning this matter since he was seriously injured last time.

After starting his business, Fang Lan quickly demonstrated his extraordinary talent in this area. Now the Longzi Chamber of Commerce has become the second largest chamber of commerce in Haizhou.

Provided a lot of help for the Dragon Whale Army's armaments.

Thinking of that weak sister who has to deal with so many accounts every day, Fang Xuan felt sad, "Why does she need to do all this? Even if the sky falls, I will hold it up!"

Fang Li remained silent.

After breakfast, Fang Xuan and Fang Li came to the front hall.

"Brother, I have decided that in half a month, the army will march north, with Coach Ning leading 30,000 elite soldiers as the vanguard. What do you think?" Fang Li asked after the two men sat down.

Fang Xuan smiled and waved his hand: "Xiao Li, you can discuss the arrangements for the march and battle with Sikong Jihuai and the others. I got something when I went out this time."

As he spoke, Fang Xuan gently waved his right hand, and a complete set of armor appeared on the table, with bursts of energy emanating from inside to outside.

"This is..." Fang Li looked at the sword armor on the table with some curiosity.

"The sword armor, the sword intent contained in it, can hurt warriors at the fourth level." Fang Xuan said calmly.

Fang Li pushed his hand away and shook his head, saying, "Brother, this thing will be more useful to you than it is to me. It is useless for a scholar like me to have this thing."

"Put it on."

Fang Xuan's voice deepened, and there was no expression on his face.

Fang Li shrank his head timidly. From childhood to adulthood, whenever Fang Xuan showed such an expression, it meant that he was going to be beaten.

Although at his age now, my brother wouldn't really beat me, but the psychological reaction over the years could no longer be changed.

"Brother, I really feel that this thing is useless to me."

Fang Xuan smiled and patted Fang Li on the shoulder. "Xiao Li, I know you are worried about me, but I don't need this sword armor at all. I can easily deal with warriors who can be hurt by the sword armor. If I need external force to deal with a warrior, this sword armor will not be of much help."

"You are the core of my Dragon Whale Army. If the enemy wants to attack you, that would be a real problem."

"For me, my only weaknesses are you and Xiaolan, do you understand?"

Fang Li nodded silently.

Since he was a child, he has always wanted to be someone who can help his brother. As he gets older, reads more books, and sees more people and things, he slowly realizes that no matter what he does, he still needs his brother's protection in the end.

"Okay, go and do your own thing. I'll go find your father-in-law."
