At night, Jia Xuan's body, which was cultivating in the courtyard, emitted a series of crackling sounds. However, some black objects appeared all over his body. Jia Xuan knew that this was a cleansing of the marrow.
He had finally reached the first level of Body Refining Technique. The current Jia Xuan had boundless strength, with his entire body having a strength of several thousand Jin. If he was on the battlefield, he would simply be a humanoid machine. And this was also Jia Xuan's goal.
Jia Xuan returned to the house and picked up the scissors to gently cut his body. Only a white mark was left on his body. His light stroke was something that others could not compare to even if they used their full strength. Now Jia Xuan knew that the cold weapons in this world could no longer hurt him.
With that, he began his own plan. He now had two paths to take. Once he asked Jia She to leave the Rong Mansion, he would have nothing to do with the Rong Mansion. Secondly, he would go out to train in the army. If he had Jia She's name card, he might have started as a small officer and promoted faster that way. After all, Jia Daishan was not a fake Duke of Rong. He had many subordinates, and there were many places where he could be arranged.
Therefore, this second path was the most suitable for him. Even though he could still make a name for himself without Jia She's name card, he would have taken most of the credit and his advancement would have slowed down. If he had the Jia family's banner, then he would be promoted very quickly, and no one would dare to take his credit.
He called Fried Bean into the house and told her about the situation. He asked her to stay at home and wait for him to come back. Fried Bean knew that this was a big matter for her master, so she didn't stop her. He only told his master to be careful on the battlefield and not to hurt himself. Jia Xuan looked at this little girl who was seriously reminding him and really couldn't bear to leave. However, if they didn't leave, how could they reunite in the future?
"When I come back, I'll definitely make our fried beans become big girls. Live a good life." Jia Xuan stroked the little girl's head.
"Third Master, you have to keep your word." Fried Bean's eyes lit up.
Early the next morning, Jia Xuan came to the east courtyard to see Jia She.
Jia She's manservant looked at the Third Young Master, who had never come to the east courtyard even once in so many years. Today, for some reason, she took the initiative to come and see Jia She.
"Third Master, wait a moment. I'll go report to First Master now.”The manservant did not make things difficult for Jia Xuan, but went straight to report to Jia She. However, whether Jia She would see him or not was up to him.
Today, Jia She had just obtained a porcelain bottle from an official kiln, so he was in a very good mood. He heard that his son wanted to see him.
"Let him in." Jia She waved his hand.
"Greetings, Father!" Jia Xuan entered the main room of the east courtyard under the notice of the manservant. Seeing Jia She, who was hollowed out by wine and women, he bowed and said.
"Yes, why are you looking for me?”Jia She did not care about his son at all. It could be seen from the name. Jia Xuan, this Xuan word was given to him by his mother before she died. Because of his lowly background, he did not know the seniority of the big families. Jia Xuan's generation was all from the jade character.
And Jia She had never thought of changing Jia Xuan's name. From this, it could be seen that Jia She had never valued his son.
"Father, I want to join the army!" Jia She looked up at Jia Xuan in surprise.
"Isn't it good to stay in the residence? Why did he want to join the army? That was extremely dangerous. They might even die on the battlefield.”Jia She warned.
"Since your son has made up his mind, I hope that father will grant your wish.”Jia Xuan knelt down and saluted.
Jia She wondered why his son suddenly wanted to join the army. However, he thought about it again. This was also good. If he made a name for himself, wouldn't that prove that he had taught his son well? Even if Jia Xuan died on the battlefield, he would only be a bastard son.
Thus, Jia She said," You better think about it carefully. This is not a joke.”
"I hope father will grant my wish." Jia Xuan said again.
"Where do you want to join the army? Let me see where I can arrange for you to go.”Jia She said.
"I want to go to a place where there is war. I want to fight my way out.”Jia Xuan said seriously.
Jia She looked at his son in surprise. He wanted to go to the battlefield and fight for his life instead of enjoying his peaceful life. How could Jia She know what kind of life Jia Xuan had been living these past few years? She thought that he was living the life of a young master.
"Alright, since you have your own thoughts, I won't stop you. It's just that the battlefield is dangerous and you'll lose your life if you're not careful. Don't blame me for not warning you.”Jia She said.
"Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by the heavens. I will not blame anyone.”Jia Xuan said.
"Good! Ambitious. As expected of my son, Jia She. Go back and wait for news.”Jia She stroked his beard and said.
Jia She looked at his son's back as he left. She thought to herself that she had been suppressed by the second branch for so many years. If this son of his could make a name for himself, he could also alleviate his own situation. He wanted to let his mother see that First Master was not completely useless.
Jia She explained the situation to Grandmother Jia. Grandmother Jia didn't even know that she had such a grandson. However, he did not say anything. So be it. If he could make a name for himself, it would also be an honor for the Jia family.
Things went smoothly. Three days later, Jia Xuan received the appointment letter.
This dynasty was a dynasty that had never existed before in history. It was a dynasty called the Great Zhou. After the Song Dynasty was gone, there was no Yuan Dynasty. It was the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was the Zhou Taizu who rose up and chased the Mongols out of the Central Plains. It was already the fifth dynasty. The Retired Emperor was still alive and the current Emperor was Long Xing.
Although the entire imperial court was in chaos, it was still very stable. There were a few battles in some areas. The place Jia Xuan was heading to was the eastern part of the imperial court, the city pass that bordered the Jurchen. And Jia Xuan's position was Zhenwei Lieutenant, a sixth-rank military officer who could lead a hundred-man team.
Because the Jurchen wanted to take over the Central Plains, the recent wars at the border were very intense, and they were all small battles. Occasionally, there would be one or two big battles.
Because of the urgency of the military situation, Jia Xuan did not bid farewell to Jia She in Rong Mansion. He kowtowed to Grandmother Jia outside Rongqing Hall. This was the first time he had entered the back of the house, although he did not see Grandmother Jia, Jia Baoyu, and many of his sisters. However, he also felt the magnificence of the Jia residence.
However, Jia Xuan knew that this was only a superficial scene. In fact, the internal pocket of Rong Mansion had long been exhausted. When Jia Yuanchun was conferred the title of consort, if it wasn't for the Lin family's wealth, forget about building the Grand View Garden. They had certain difficulties in life. He relied on pawning to survive.
However, the young master of Rong Mansion was still living a life of drunkenness. As for Wang Xifeng, the unlucky daughter-in-law of the Jia family. However, he was relying on pawning his dowry to maintain the luxury of Rong Mansion.
In fact, there was no money in the Rong Mansion High School. Grandmother Jia's private room and Madam Wang's private vault were full. Especially since Madam Wang had been in charge of Rong Mansion for so many years and had earned a lot of money.
However, this was not what Jia Xuan was concerned about now.
Beside the ceremonial gate of the Rong Mansion, Fried Bean was crying. He had always told Jia Xuan to be careful on the battlefield and to remember that there was still a noisy bean waiting for him to be his big servant girl at home.
Just like that, Jia Xuan left Rong Mansion without anyone sending him off.
Half a month later, Jia Xuan arrived at the border and looked at this majestic city. Jia Xuan sighed." What a magnificent city. This is the miracle of our Chinese nation.”
The cities he had seen on television before were different from what he saw in reality. The feeling was also different. He felt the skills and wisdom of the ancient craftsmen. Just the width of the city wall alone was the same as the four-lane road in the real world.
The carriage could move on top to ensure the timely delivery of strategic resources. This was a majestic city that Jia Xuan had never seen in modern society.
After Jia Xuan entered the city, he headed straight for the provincial governor's residence. After asking around, he found out that the provincial governor's mansion was located in the center of the city.
Outside the gate, there were two rows of soldiers on both sides. They looked like veterans who had been through many battles.
Jia Xuan stood at the door and reported," Liaodong Jiedushi, Zhenwei Lieutenant Jia Xuan has come to report.”
"Wait!" An old soldier glanced at Jia Xuan, then took Jia Xuan's official badge and walked into the gate without looking back.
After a while, the old soldier came out again. "The regional governor is calling you in, follow me.”With that, the old soldier turned around and went back in. Jia Xuan could only follow behind the old soldier and walk into the manor.
This Liaodong Provincial Governor was called Wang Li, and he was the trusted aide of the current Emperor Longxing. He was conferred the title of first-class Pingyang Marquis. It could be said that he had a high official position and was in control of the entire Liaodong region and the war with the Jurchen. He could also be considered a brave and good general.
Jia Xuan came to the festival hall and knelt on one knee." This subordinate, Zhenwei Lieutenant Jia Xuan, pays his respects to Your Excellency."”
"Nephew, please stand up! You and I are not outsiders, there is no need for outsiders. I am a battle general under your grandfather.”After saying that, he personally came down and helped Jia Xuan up.
Wang Li sized up Jia Xuan. Seeing that Jia Xuan had an imposing manner and a heroic spirit, he nodded his head repeatedly.
He was a battle general under Jia Daishan, Duke of Rong, and he had watched the descendants of Rong Mansion squander their lives. None of them could stand up. He also felt sorry for the Duke of Rong.
Now, he finally saw a decent person. Although he did not know if he was really capable, he was able to leave the comfortable nest of Rong Mansion and come to the border battlefield to train without fear of danger. This alone was worthy of his recognition.
