Along the way into North Wind City, the traveling merchants, as well as the shopkeepers and waiters of the few inns and taverns in the city, all saw the actions of Li Xin and his group.
After returning to the General's Mansion, he wrote a letter and handed it to his personal guards. He ordered them to send the heads of the Hu Krupp to Youzhou City and present them to Qi Lun, the Governor of Youzhou, to exchange for military merits.
Military merits were mainly paid in silver. The amount of military merits a Hu Krupp's head was worth and the amount of silver it could be exchanged for were all regulated by military law.
…….
Drink, ha, drink…
On the Drill Ground, early in the morning, Li Xin was practicing Reckless Bull Fist on the General Platform in casual clothes. Below him, tens of thousands of soldiers followed suit.
While teaching, Li Xin would also loudly tell the soldiers below him the key to cultivating the Reckless Bull Fist.
And cultivating martial arts required a lot of herbs.
Apart from a portion of the gifts that the Crown Prince and the other princes had given to the families of the soldiers who had died in North Wind City, the rest had been exchanged for silver and then for various medicinal herbs for cultivation. They were given to the soldiers under their command in fixed quantities.
As for those subordinates who were qualified to rest on the Dragon Elephant Force, in addition to the medicinal herbs that the imperial court regularly distributed and North Wind City purchased, Li Xin also provided some.
The main thing was medicinal pills.
Using points to buy pills in the system's store was still more cost-effective.
Although it was still expensive, it was not outrageous. At least, it was within an acceptable range.
Moreover, the most important thing was that it was impossible to use a high-grade pill like the other blood-strengthening pills every few days. That would be too extravagant.
His points would not be able to withstand it.
Most of the points, Li Xin would definitely use them to increase his strength.
But even so, after half a year of training, the Northern Wind Army had at least a high-grade foundation establishment cultivation technique of the Yellow Rank, a heaven-grade foundation establishment cultivation technique like the Dragon Elephant Force, and a follow-up cultivation technique of at least the high-grade of the Black Rank. Coupled with sufficient resources, the strength of the ten thousand soldiers could be considered to have advanced by leaps and bounds.
At the same time, after several months of clearing up, the figures of the foreign tribes could no longer be seen in the hundreds of miles north of North Wind City.
They had already been killed by the North Wind City's army!
"Hu! I've reached my limit!"
In the secret room of the General's Mansion, Li Xin slowly stopped his cultivation.
[Host: Li Xin]
[Strength: Late-stage Light Jin (Strength of Nine Elephants, 99,000 Jin)]
[Cultivation Technique: Dragon Elephant Force (Level Three), Nine Bloody Massacres (Great Success), Overlord Spear Technique (Great Success), Reckless Bull Fist (Yellow Rank High Grade, Perfected), Basic Saber Technique (Perfected), Basic Spear Technique (Perfected)]
[Points: 525]
Feeling that his body had reached its limit, Li Xin stopped moving his Qi and blood. After that, he looked at the remaining few pills in the space and smiled.
Finally, when there were only a few medicinal pills left, his body had been tempered to the extreme.
Next, he would either cultivate on his own and break through to internal force.
Otherwise, he would need a large number of points to increase his strength.
Buzz...
The secret door opened, and the soldiers in the room turned around and looked at the secret door.
After seeing that it was Li Xin who walked out, they all crossed their hands and saluted,"Greetings, Lord Jue!"
"No need."
Li Xinxu raised his hand and walked out, followed by more than ten personal guards. Outside the room, there were dozens of personal guards guarding the surroundings.
In the main hall, Liu Hu quickly walked in and cupped his hands towards Li Xin.
"Lord Jue, let Lieutenant Fang report that a suspicious person has appeared in North Wind City.”
"Oh?"
Li Xin squinted his eyes and said to Liu Hu,""Send the order!"
"Here!"
After Ling Fang surrendered and took the Loyal Soul Pill, Li Xin taught him the Dragon Elephant Force Foundation Establishment Technique and gave him various resources. Ling Fang, who was already at the peak of the late stage of Light Jin, completed the Foundation Establishment a month ago and broke through to the level of Dark Jin with a force of more than 20,000 Jin.
After that, because of the foundation establishment technique, he had built a solid foundation.
Ling Fang, who had cultivated a low-grade Earth Realm cultivation technique, had his cultivation speed increased. He was now at the peak of the early stage of internal force, and his strength had broken through more than 30,000, reaching nearly 40,000 pounds.
Coupled with the support of internal strength, ordinary peak internal force was not his match.
After he surrendered, Ling Fang also used his own expertise and used the more than one hundred loyal soldiers sent by Li Xin to form a secret investigation organization called: Iron Guard.
The soldiers inside were all loyal and talented soldiers that Li Xin had chosen to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Force Foundation Establishment Technique.
Now, after a few months, although most of them had not broken through, ordinary Ming Jin martial artists were not their match when they had a strength of several thousand Jin in one arm.
In addition, he could exchange for the Soul Severing Saber Technique and other martial techniques from the system. It was definitely enough to deal with some small matters.
Moreover, he was only monitoring North Wind City and checking for suspicious people.
Not long after, Ling Fang followed Liu Hu in.
"Greetings, Lord Jue."
There were no outsiders around, and Ling Fang did not address him as a general. Instead, he addressed Li Xin as Lord Jue, just like a trusted soldier.
"Get up and tell me about the situation."
"Here!" Ling Fang received the order and stood up to report,"Lord Jue, a group of over twenty traveling merchants checked into the Yuelai Inn the day before yesterday.”
"But even today, this group of people still hasn't left North Wind City and continued north.”
"At the same time, after this group of people arrived, another group of people followed.”
"Although these two groups are dressed like merchants, the minimum number of people who come to North Wind City is a hundred.”
"This is the first suspicious point."
"The other reason is that the first group of people didn't look like merchants when they walked. Instead, they looked like armaments. In addition, the team that entered the city later seemed to be staring at the merchant group in front.”
"Haha, interesting." Li Xin smiled and asked,"Have you found out their identities?"”
"Reporting to Lord Jue, the first group of traveling merchants is using the Jiangnan Su Clan Trading Company's banner. On the surface, the carriages are filled with silk and tea bricks.”
"As for the second team, they only brought a cart of porcelain. Although it was exquisite, it did not match the choices of ordinary merchants. As for his identity, he only said that he was an ordinary merchant house in Jiangnan. The head shopkeeper's surname was Chen.”
"Alright, try your best to find out, but don't give yourself away. In addition, there might be other spies in the city. They had to be careful not to expose the Iron Guards.”
"Yes, I understand." Ling Fang accepted the order.
"Go and pay more attention. I'll get Liu Bao to lead the people to help you.”
"Thank you, Lord Jue. I will take my leave."
Ling Fang left. After leaving the General Manor, he brought a few personal guards back to the independent camp of the First Battalion. After that, he changed into casual clothes and went out again.
In the secret base of the Iron Guards, Ling Fang saw Liu Bao and the others in casual warrior robes.
He looked at their equipment and saw that Liu Bao had changed his and his subordinates 'sabers into weapons without military markings. He nodded and said,
"Commander Liu, did Lord Jue give you instructions?”
"Don't worry, Lieutenant Ling. Before we came, Lord Jue said that we are only responsible for capturing and killing people. As for the rest, we will listen to your orders.”Liu Bao cupped his fists and replied.
"Alright, then you guys wait here for the news. After seeing the signal, he would make his move. If there was no signal, stay put.”
"Alright!"
After contacting Liu Bao, Ling Fang left to contact the secret agents of the Iron Guards.
