After returning to the capital.
Of course Xu Sheng also met his mother Liu Fangfang.
Liu Fangfang was seventeen or eighteen years old when she gave birth to Xu Sheng. Now Xu Sheng is twenty-nine years old, and Liu Fangfang is already in her forties.
However, due to her pampering, although she is old, she does not look too old.
Today, her status in the Marshal's Mansion is still inferior to that of Madam Jing.
But life was relatively good.
In addition, she also gave birth to two more children for Xu Huateng.
Only two babies were born in nine years, which is actually not too much.
This is also because Xu Huateng's health is not in good condition.
This was because Liu Fangfang was favored. The eldest lady Jing also gave birth to two more children in the past few years, and Zhu didn't give birth to any.
this day.
Liu Fangfang looked at the Yingying Yanyan in Xu Sheng's house and couldn't help but ask Xu Sheng:
"Xiao Sheng, you said you took in more than a hundred women in the past year or so?"
"Yes, mother, what's wrong?" Xu Sheng asked.
"You got them all pregnant in one year? And about half of these women were only recruited in the next six months, right?" Liu Fangfang asked again.
"So?" Xu Sheng was confused.
"Are you sure these children are all yours?" Liu Fangfang finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said.
"???" Xu Sheng had black lines all over his head.
"You don't even know how to raise children for others!" Liu Fangfang said.
"..." Xu Sheng was speechless.
Of course, Xu Sheng actually understood that this was a normal suspicion. After all, ordinary people couldn't imagine how strong Xu Sheng, a half-step martial arts saint, was.
It’s even more unimaginable that Xu Sheng had a charging station like Little Taoist Sister. When the battery ran out, he would just go to Little Taoist Sister’s bed to charge for a few hours and then he would be resurrected with full health.
"Mother, I am a great master of martial arts! And I am helped by a fairy, so my body is different from ordinary people." In the end, Xu Sheng could only explain: "It doesn't matter if I stay up all night."
"???" Liu Fangfang was dumbfounded.
Of course, after she confirmed that these children were all Xu Sheng's, she beamed.
"Your boy has been like this since he was a child! Even if he doesn't scream, he has already become a blockbuster!" Finally, Liu Fangfang sighed: "It was like this when I was practicing martial arts! It's like this now when I have children!"
Indeed, some members of the Xu clan privately criticized 'Xu Longsheng' for violating the ancestral precepts and not having children.
But 'Xu Longsheng' is a great martial arts master, so it's normal for him not to be lewd at the beginning of his martial arts training. Plus Xu Sheng's amazing achievements back then, no one dared to say anything openly.
But now Xu Sheng's children have directly surpassed many people in the tribe again!
Or even continue to give birth at this frequency? What will the scene be like ten years from now?
Liu Fangfang could hardly imagine it.
In addition, of course Xu Sheng also met Xu Huateng.
Xu Huateng suffered many injuries on the battlefield in his early years, and now he suffers from various ailments as he gets older.
Xu Huateng is eleven years older than Liu Fangfang, and he is already over fifty.
In such ancient worlds, many people at this age would have even died.
In addition, Xu Huateng also has a lot of harem!
So now Xu Huateng looks much older than Liu Fangfang.
I also kept coughing and was in very bad health.
Many people have even speculated when Xu Huateng might suddenly leave.
"Father, why has your health gotten so bad?"
Xu Sheng couldn't help but frown and said, "When I left, you were still in good health!"
"I'm not your boy!"
Xu Huateng smiled, shook his head and said: "Although I am a commander-in-chief and control one-seventh of the power in the world, my martial arts is only at its peak. Now my health is failing."
Xu Sheng asked the little Taoist nun if there was any way to treat Xu Huateng?
But the little Taoist nun shook her head and said that there was nothing she could do about birth, old age, illness and death.
The dragon's blood can only be refined by the body of the Supreme Yang.
Xu Huateng couldn't bear it at all.
Xu Sheng could only give up.
Xu Huateng asked Xu Sheng to join the army again!
After all, back then Xu Sheng said he was devoted to pursuing martial arts, but now Xu Sheng's martial arts has reached its peak.
At least in the eyes of everyone today, the martial arts grand master is the limit of martial arts.
Xu Sheng arrived nine years ago.
So Xu Huateng asked Xu Sheng to enter the Xu family's power system to do things.
Of course Xu Sheng agreed.
He also confessed frankly that he came home this time to help his family fight for the world.
He also briefly talked about his relationship with the fox demon Hu Xinfeng.
"Hu Xinfeng? That's it."
Xu Huateng said: "No wonder the Chu family has taken on a new look and become stronger and stronger in these years! I also wonder where the strange woman Chu family found has such a talent and can help Chu family do this! It turns out that she is a thousand-year-old fox demon?"
Xu Sheng was surprised when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xinfeng actually helped the Chu family become a lot stronger.
Xu Sheng didn't pay too much attention to the general trend of the world before.
"It is said that she holds in her hand the lost secret book of the art of war left by the former God of War Ebony!"
Xu Huateng added: "So now the Chu army has indeed changed its spirit! It has become a lot stronger! So it should be that this demon has lived for a long time. In the process, Wu Mu's secret book of the art of war happened by chance It fell into her hands! According to you, her full efforts to help the Chu family should have started since you parted ways... Now nearly two years have passed! In this way, the world will change! "
Xu Sheng's expression also changed slightly.
Because this ebony is a god of war in the history of this world.
The reason why Dayong in the previous dynasty was able to unify the world.
This God of War is indispensable.
Although this man's martial arts training is only acquired, he can use his troops like a god, lead his troops in battle, win every battle, and be unbeatable.
If Wu Mu was still alive, the Dayong Dynasty would not have collapsed.
And the book of war, which condensed this man's military wisdom, now fell into Hu Xinfeng's hands!
No wonder Hu Xinfeng had the confidence to say that she would help the Chu family fight for the world!
Although Xu Sheng heard what Hu Xinfeng said back then, he actually didn't take it too seriously.
After all, if two random monsters say they want to help which force fights for the world, they can win the world.
The monsters have already ruled the world.
But now it seems that Hu Xinfeng is really extraordinary.
The reason why Xu Huateng said that the world will change.
It's Hu Xinfeng who is definitely still brewing!
After all, Ebony’s military wisdom is not a spell, and it cannot conjure many things out of thin air!
Casting a spell out of thin air can make an army sweep across the world.
The so-called art of war!
Just use troops!
Using troops means using people.
Training will definitely take some years.
And now nearly two years have passed!
Maybe the Chu family's soldiers are almost ready.
"No wonder our Xu family has had some small battles with the Chu family on the border in recent years, and we have lost more than we have won!"
Xu Huateng's face was extremely solemn and he said: "Your eldest brother Xu Longtao personally led troops to face Chu's army three times, and was defeated all times."
It is also because of this that there are many rumors circulating in the Xu family that Xu Longtao, the young commander, is not good enough.
Even after Xu Sheng returned, many people rumored that Xu Huateng would replace the young coach.
'Xu Longsheng' is coming back to snatch the position of young commander.
Xu Sheng has indeed heard some of these rumors recently.
The face of the little Taoist nun who was following Xu Sheng also changed.
Xu Sheng asked the little Taoist nun if there was any way to deal with it?
The little Taoist nun also shook her head and said that Hu Xinfeng was not using magic!
Instead, use human’s upright art of war!
What can she do? She doesn't understand the art of war.
Of course, if you can snatch Wu Mu's military book from Hu Xinfeng, that would be fine.
But Hu Xinfeng must be cowering in the center of power of the Chu family now, and there is no way that Xu Sheng and the others will have a chance to grab Wu Mu's military book.
"Commander, the young marshal is here!" At this time, Xu Longtao also came over to report some affairs.
after.
Xu Sheng left.
But unexpectedly, Xu Longtao quickly chased him out to talk to Xu Sheng.
Xu Longtao took the initiative to mention his defeat.
Several defeats against the Chu army had become a stain on him.
"Fourteenth Brother, maybe I'm really not capable enough!"
He smiled bitterly and said: "You really should have been the young commander in the first place!"
Xu Sheng was speechless.
He didn't know why at the beginning, he didn't become a young commander in a flash of his mind.
"Since you returned, many people have been rumoring that your father will replace the young commander!"
Xu Longtao then said: "Fourteenth brother, if my father really wants to replace me and replace you, will you accept it?"
He actually asked directly.
"Yes." Xu Sheng thought for a while and replied frankly.
Xu Sheng later mentioned his grievances with Hu Xinfeng.
"Everything is for Xu."
Xu Sheng said: "Actually, I'm not sure, if I go to the battlefield, I can win the new Chu army trained by Hu Xinfeng, who has the strategic blessing of the legendary war god Wu Mu! But if you can't do it, brother, I will definitely still I want to try its power myself! Of course, I won’t steal it. Everything depends on my father’s arrangements. I believe that any decision my father makes is for the good of the Xu family.”
"Honest enough."
Xu Longtao smiled and said: "Fourth brother, you are always so honest. You were also very honest when you didn't want to be a young marshal. Now you are still very honest. Of course, I also promise that I will not use any conspiracy to suppress you. It depends on what my father does. But I won’t give in until my father speaks.”
He said: "I am still not convinced by the Chu army!"
Xu Sheng also smiled.
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.
"We brothers don't kill each other!" Xu Longtao even took the initiative to shake hands with Xu Sheng and said, "Everything depends on father's arrangement!"
"Okay!" Xu Sheng also nodded.
In fact, when Xu Sheng originally said those words, he was already prepared to be assassinated.
However, Xu Sheng's martial arts strength is now half-step to that of a martial saint. As long as he is careful enough, it is difficult for him to be assassinated.
Although they are of the same race, it is hard to say whether Xu Longtao will become crazy in the face of power!
Xu Sheng never dared to think of people as so kind.
If Xu Longtao attacks Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng may also fight back.
After all, if Xu Longtao is not capable enough, he should give way.
Because today's situation is not so optimistic.
The survival of the Xu family is the top priority in everything.
If killing someone can bring Xu a better appearance, that's not impossible.
Of course, since Xu Longtao said this, Xu Sheng naturally agreed.
That's right, Xu Sheng won't take the initiative to grab it! Just look at how Xu Huateng arranges it!
If Xu Longtao takes action, Xu Sheng will naturally fight back. But if Xu Longtao didn't take action, Xu Sheng wouldn't fight back.
It doesn't matter if he is not a young commander.
All you have to do is help the Xu family conquer the world, then sweep the Chu family, and capture the fox demon.
After breaking up with Xu Longtao.
Xu Sheng's heart was not so relaxed.
Because he didn't expect that Hu Xinfeng actually had the lost military manual of Wu Mu, the God of War!
As a result, Xu Sheng really didn't have much confidence, saying that if he played alone, he would definitely win.
"My only advantage is that I am a time traveler! A time traveler from a civilization with a stronger scientific and technological level!"
Of course, Xu Sheng thought about it quickly and said to himself: "Actually, I am not necessarily better than the ancients in terms of their wisdom in cold weapon warfare. Let alone the legendary God of War Wumu who is victorious in every battle! But I have the wisdom from hot weapons. The knowledge base and life experience of civilization!”
After thinking about it.
Xu Sheng returned to the house.
Just start making arrangements.
Send people to vigorously search for oil, gunpowder, etc.
I also tried hard to recall the chemistry knowledge I remembered on Earth, set up a laboratory in the house, and recruited some relevant talents to try to see if the level of steelmaking could be improved, so as to increase the strength of Xu's equipment.
Of course, these actions are not immediately effective.
It can only be said to be a preparation.
Fortunately, even if Hu Xinfeng has Wu Mu's military skills at her disposal, it will still take her some years to train.
Now Xu Sheng still has time!
After this, Xu Sheng took out some of the books on art of war that Xu could collect and studied them.
How did Ebony become the victorious God of War on the cold weapon battlefield? It must have been learned, right? Xu Sheng also took the time to learn more about it, as he would always have to go to the battlefield in the future.
Of course, although Hu Xinfeng seems to be a huge and terrifying time bomb, it may explode at any time and sweep the world.
But what Xu Sheng has to face now is not Hu Xinfeng.
The first thing he had to face was the turmoil within the Xu family.
Although I had a brotherly conversation with Xu Longtao that day.
Xu Longtao also made such a guarantee.
Xu Sheng was still assassinated half a month later.
Because Xu Sheng has not stopped his plan to find women with spiritual roots, he will still call some girls of the right age here in the capital or other nearby cities from time to time, and then let the little Taoist nun use his magic power to sense them.
During this period, Xu Sheng discovered ten women with middle-grade spiritual roots!
After taking these ten spiritual root women back to the mansion, Xu Sheng immediately asked each of them to prick them with a needle to make sure that the blood they shed was normal.
This ensures that they are not painting artists.
Because Xu Sheng has been searching for women with spiritual roots this year.
Xu Sheng felt that Hu Xinfeng might have noticed his behavior.
If Xu Sheng was Hu Xinfeng, then he might find some women with spiritual roots to assassinate him!
Therefore, the women with spiritual roots that Xu Sheng had received before were all local aborigines of the Xu family who only had a clean family background.
Accept it only after confirming that there is no problem at all.
Naturally, you have to check whether you are a skin-painting artist or not.
Because the painting-skin artist can live under the skin of others.
Such characteristics allow it to pretend to be a woman from an innocent family background.
As a thousand-year-old demon, Hu Xinfeng is naturally likely to know some painters!
What if she paid some price to hire the Painted Skin Demon to kill Xu Sheng?
Xu Sheng had to guard against it.
But so far, Xu Sheng has not encountered a painting-skinned spirit who turned into a spirit-rooted woman to assassinate him.
Maybe Xu Sheng was too cautious. Hu Xinfeng gave up the assassination plan after seeing Xu Sheng's actions.
Two of these ten spiritual root women moved to this capital from other places.
Originally, his life experience was not that clear, so Xu Sheng did not want to accept him!
But she is a woman with middle-grade spiritual roots.
Xu Sheng currently doesn't have any women with middle-grade spiritual roots.
So I accepted it.
Of course Xu Sheng deliberately exposed his flaws and gave these women a chance to assassinate him.
Finally, that night, a woman with middle-grade spiritual roots couldn't help but take action.
It's a pity that she didn't know that Xu Sheng had already reached the half-step Martial Saint level, so naturally it was impossible to succeed.
Instead, Xu Sheng counterattacked directly.
"Who sent you to kill me?" Xu Sheng's face was gloomy.
This spiritual root woman refused to say anything at first.
Until he was tortured by Xu Sheng.
Then she said in a trembling voice: "The eldest son sent us here!"
Xu Sheng couldn't tell the difference for a while.
Was this middle-grade spirit-rooted woman sent by the eldest son, Xu Longtao or Hu Xinfeng?
That night Xu Sheng went to meet his eldest brother Xu Longtao.
But the eldest brother Xu Longtao looked innocent and was not too wary of Xu Sheng.
"70%, it may be Hu Xinfeng's fault!"
Finally, Xu Sheng made a judgment based on his intuition: "This woman has a vicious plan!"
Hu Xinfeng should have noticed that Xu Sheng was looking for a woman with spiritual roots, so she had already prepared some killers of women with spiritual roots.
It's a pity that Xu Sheng was too cautious.
So she never took action.
until now!
Xu's family is spreading rumors everywhere that the young commander will be replaced!
Hu Xinfeng took action.
If successful, she can kill Xu Sheng directly!
If that fails, she can sow discord between Xu Sheng and Xu Longtao.
If brothers fight, Xu's strength will inevitably be depleted.
"I also think it should be Hu Xinfeng."
The little Taoist nun said next to her: "It's not easy to find a woman with a middle-grade spiritual root, and she has to be trained to be a killer! She won't be ready for half a year."
"The eldest son Xu Longtao's side!"
Mu Tianyi also said: "You shouldn't attack your husband at such a turbulent time, right?! It will take a while before I do it."
"anyway!"
Xu Sheng said: "No matter who did it, I would like to thank him for sending me ten women with spiritual roots!"
Subsequently.
Xu Sheng ordered.
Let his loyal maids imprison and tie up these ten spiritual root female killers.
Take good care of your food, drink, and diarrhea, and pay attention to body hygiene at ordinary times.
But they are not allowed to move freely and are not allowed to touch foreign objects.
"You came to assassinate me. I should have killed you."
Xu Sheng looked at the ten women with spiritual roots who were tied up today and said, "But who asked me to be merciful?"
In fact, not all of these ten spiritual root women are killers.
But there was no way, who asked them to rush there.
Hu Xinfeng should have let the two killers mix into eight normal women with middle-grade spiritual roots to confuse Xu Sheng.
"Now that we're here!"
Xu Sheng finally said: "Then stay and keep giving birth to children for me."
After saying that, Xu Sheng left. He did not directly want to mate with these ten middle-grade spiritual root women.
Let them give birth to their own children.
In order to prevent Hu Xinfeng from hiding any poison in these spiritual-rooted women.
So Xu Sheng decided to raise them as canaries for half a year.
After half a year, even if there is any poison in it, it should be completely metabolized!
