Chapter 131 Ten Years of Hard Training

Arriving at the 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 officer, manager, and the last one who arrived was Li Shou.

After Li Shou arrived, he was invited to the seat of honor and sat with Cao Fang. Seeing how polite he was, Li Shou knew that the Cao Mansion must be asking for something from him.

"Nephew Li Xian, when you arrive, the discussion of our Cao family can begin." Cao Fang is a middle-aged man about fifty years old. He has practiced martial arts all year round and looks very tall.

Li Shou had heard that his strength was slightly inferior to Li Tang, but still similar.

To be specific, he should be the weakest among the eighth-level public vehicles or the strongest among the ninth-level five doctors.

"What is the matter that the head of the Cao family asked me to come here to discuss?"

"My nephew asked bluntly, and I said it more bluntly. After the fall of Huya Pass, the Qing Army began to enter the pass. Every city could not resist it, and our Black Turtle City should be no exception. But now I have received news, It is said that reinforcements from our Zhou Kingdom will arrive in the near future. Let us defend Black Turtle City for a few days. Even if we cannot defend Black Turtle City, we must defend Cao Mansion..."

"Wait a minute, I didn't understand why they didn't send reinforcements when Huya Pass was lost, but now they sent reinforcements when Huya Pass was lost. Is this news accurate?"

"This is related to the victory or defeat in other main battlefields. Caimi County won the victory and freed up manpower. Moreover, Huya Pass was not completely lost. There are still several large strongholds that have not been breached. Wait for the reinforcements to arrive , experts can also rush over, and if we can reoccupy Hulao Pass, we can cut off the supplies and turn the green army entering the pass into a turtle in a urn."

"Uh." Li Shou didn't know much about military tactics, but he could tell that Zhou Guo was not without back-ups.

And because there are super masters in this world, sometimes the battlefield situation changes rapidly. No matter how disadvantageous the battle situation is, a master of the first-level public servant level may come over and play a role in turning the situation around.

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

"Should we leave or stay." Cao Fang got to the point, "These days, you have also seen that the Cao Mansion has been sorting out belongings, but has not left. I am also hesitating..."

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

The Cao family does not want to leave, because this kind of local wealthy family that relies on land relies heavily on local land.

Leaving the homeland means rapid decline.

And even if you leave now, you won't be able to come back later after driving away the Qing Army.

If they do not guard their own territory, no matter how strict the laws of the Zhou Dynasty are, they will not allow the gentry to return and return the land.

And the local people won't be willing to do it - they usually dominate and run away when the Qing Army comes, and now they want to come back?

The wealthy gentry also have to respect the law and reputation. Once the official and the people have been offended, they will never come back.

But if they don't leave, the Cao family doesn't know whether they can defend Xuangui City and Cao's house. If they can't hold on, they won't be able to wait for reinforcements. Then when the city is broken, according to the Qing Army's method, none of their family members, young or old, will survive.

That's why they wanted to ask Li Shou, after all, he is now the most powerful combatant in Cao Mansion.

"I see."

The Cao family is hesitating. This is a huge gamble, a huge gamble on "networth" and "life".

After all, Li Shou is an outsider. If he declares that he wants to leave, it is impossible for them to keep him to live and die with the family. If Li Shou doesn't stay, the Cao family will most likely not stay.

It would be hard to say if Li Shou stayed.

"Well, based on Mr. Cao's opinion, how confident is it that Black Turtle City can be defended until reinforcements arrive?"

"Including Cao Mansion's soldiers and county troops, the number is only half a dozen."

"Then I suggest that it is better to defend the city." Li Shou thought about it and said: "If you move, so many people, with so much property, will be easily targeted by the Qing army, and the road may not be safe. Moreover, the Cao Mansion If the foundation that has been built for so many years is destroyed in one go, not to mention you, I, an outsider, will feel unwilling to accept it."

"What does nephew Li Xian mean?"

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

Li Shou is impassioned on the surface, but in his heart he only has his own plans.

Migration is definitely not good for the students. When encountering masters or young troops outside the city, there is a high probability that the teams of Classes 1 and 3 will be damaged.

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

It's much better to stay behind.

When the Qing army besieged the city, he relied on the geographical advantage and defended the city with the army. Even if the outer city resisted for two days and Cao's mansion could resist for one day, it would be okay if he couldn't defend 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 and disappeared on the spot, a perfect curtain call.

Although this trick is a bit too despicable, the people in Cao Mansion are also looking at others and have been taking advantage of him.

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

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

Double fairness!

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

As for other people, he can't control that much.

"Nephew Li Xian, I've been waiting for your words!" Sure enough, as soon as Li Shou finished speaking, Cao Fang became excited.

Of course he doesn't want to leave. He wants Li Shou to stay and fight for his life, but he can't say it. Now the two of them hit it off.

A strategy was decided on the spot.

Not leaving!

Next, Cao Fang wanted to have a banquet to thank Li Shou for promising him land and property, but Li Shou was too lazy to deal with him, let alone waste time, so he just refused and went back.

The war was about to begin, and he wanted to practice the last bit of "Howling Wind Skill".

If he still had time, he would also like to practice the second half of "Di Xing Gong".

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

Time is strength.

After finalizing the plan, Li Shou quickly went back to inform his classmates of his plan, and then went into seclusion to practice.

…

Three days later.

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

In the next moment, the wind went from extremely quiet to extremely turbulent, and the "water surface" where Li Shou was lying on his back suddenly turned into a howling wind. He took off against the wind and reached an altitude of tens of meters. With a move of his hands, all the surrounding storms gathered in his hands. Whistling and spinning in his palm.

Li Shou pushed out towards the open space below, and the rotating storm hit the ground, causing sand and rocks to fly, 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 forward, but the practice method recorded in "Howling Wind Gong" ends here!

He has learned this skill to perfection.

It took him a total of about three months to thoroughly practice this technique.

Converted to an average person, it is equivalent to practicing for more than ten years.

Moreover, this "ten years" is still a "ten years" of being in seclusion. I almost never sleep, except for eating and sleeping.

There are no obstacles in the middle, no bottlenecks, and no getting stuck.

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

Only one of the two is indispensable, and it can be compared with Li Shou's three months of hard training.

This is the power of the "late stage". From the first mission, Li Shou has been laying the groundwork for the later stage.
