Mu Bei nodded and followed Marquis Yong'an to his residence, where they sat opposite each other.
"Do you know why the third prince favors You Hao?"
Yong'an Hou said.
Mu Bei shook his head.
Marquis Yong'an sighed: "His Majesty is currently suffering from many illnesses and can survive for a few more years at most. The princes are already ready to move and begin to recruit various forces to prepare for the fight for the throne." He said: "The You family is one of the few in the imperial city. The big family has been brought under the command of the third prince."
Mu Bei immediately understood that this was the case.
However, he didn't care about these.
Looking at Mu Bei, Marquis Yong'an showed a rare gentle smile: "I am nearly thirty years older than you. If you don't mind, can I call you Xiao Bei?"
"Of course! This is the general's honor!"
Mu Bei smiled.
This border warlord definitely deserves his respect.
"Okay, okay!" Marquis Yong'an was very happy: "You can't call yourself the last general, we are like friends who have been together forever."
Mu Bei smiled and nodded: "Listen to your Majesty!"
The two wanted to talk happily, but Marquis Yong'an took out the peach blossom wine from his private collection and drank it with Mu Bei.
After four jars of wine, the two of them were not even tipsy.
“Good drinker!”
Yong'an Hou praised.
Mu Bei raised his thumb and said, "My lord is also very strong!"
The two laughed, and each took another swig.
Marquis Yong'an put down the wine jar, looked at Mubei and said, "Xiaobei, I know you are not interested in fame, fortune and power. You came to the border to join the army and actively captured military merits just for the first place reward in the three-army competition. But, I also know that you are kind-hearted. De, he is a good man!"
"Maybe it goes against your idea, but I hope you can go to the Imperial City and enter the Imperial Qin Academy for further studies. If you are in the army, the highest military position I can give you is only a school lieutenant. If you want to be named a marquis or a general, you must become a general. Graduating from Emperor Qin Academy is a rule set by the ancestors of Great Qin."
"With your talent, it will be a matter of time before you are granted the title of Marquis and General. Maybe you are not interested in this at all, but I hope you will be granted the title of Marquis and General."
"Most of today's princes only have the throne in their eyes. For example, the third prince, you have seen what happened today. In order to win over his helpers and favor You Hao, he forced the mining silver to be taken away, and regarded the safety of the soldiers of the three armies and the stability of the people on the border as nothing. , and he wants to use the mined silver to fill the national treasury? No! It is most likely to be used for his own purposes. "
"But how can I stop it? He cited the treasury as an excuse and I can't keep this mined silver."
"If this kind of people ascend the throne, will it be a blessing to the country and the people? No!"
"If you grant a title to a marquis and become a general, they will have a great say in the future and can benefit the people and the country to a great extent!"
He looked at Mu Bei with a solemn expression.
Mu Bei listened carefully. Although he was really not interested in becoming a marquis or a general, he admired Yong'an Marquis even more, who always cared about the common people and the country.
"I will seriously consider your words."
he said.
"good!"
Marquis Yong'an laughed, took out a golden order and handed it to Mu Bei.
In the middle of the golden order are engraved the two characters "School Captain", and in the lower right corner is Mu Bei's name.
"From now on, you will be the youngest captain of our Great Qin. With this token, you can mobilize up to 30,000 Qin troops anywhere in the Great Qin."
he said.
Mu Bei took the token: "Thank you, Sir!"
After chatting with Marquis Yongan for a while, he said goodbye and left, arriving at the independent dormitory arranged for him by the Military Supervision Office.
Taking out the reward for being the champion of the three armies, he opened the wooden box, which contained a small jade bottle.
The small jade bottle is about one foot high and contains a drop of crystal liquid. When you open the cap, you will immediately feel a surge of spiritual energy.
"That's right, it's the essence of the earth!"
He showed some excitement.
He has found all three medicinal materials for reshaping the meridians, Linglong Scrophulariaceae, Yan Ling Golden Centipede and Earth Spirit Essence. It is time to refine the elixir for reshaping the meridians.
The name of the elixir is [Pulse Shaping Treasure Pill], which is an upper level fourth grade. He has repeatedly understood the refining steps and now started refining it immediately.
Marquis Yong'an had prepared an alchemy furnace for him before. He turned on the furnace and lit a fire. He was very energetic and devoted himself to alchemy.
In the flame-warming furnace, three kinds of medicinal materials are put in in a special order and the heat is constantly adjusted.
He didn't dare to be careless in this process. His nerves were highly tense and he was sweating.
It wasn't until more than an hour passed that, with a faint sound of "waves" coming from the furnace, Mu Bei quickly put out the fire and opened the lid of the furnace.
A burst of white mist rose, and inside the furnace, a blue treasure pill the size of a thumb's cap lay quietly, with fine lines on its surface.
Like meridians.
"It's done!"
Mu Bei's eyes flashed with sparkle.
Carefully taking out the elixir, he adjusted his breathing until his energy and spirit were completely smooth before taking the elixir.
The treasure pill melted away the moment it entered his abdomen, and its effects quickly spread to every corner of his body without him even needing to use his skills.
Mu Bei felt as if there was a source of life washing over his flesh and bones, and he felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
Then, he felt as if a fire had arisen in his body, burning his broken meridians, causing bursts of pain.
Soon, his broken meridians began to squirm on their own, as if surrounded by the power of rebirth, and began to resume quickly.
In the blink of an eye, two hours passed. His whole body was soaked with sweat, and a thick layer of filth appeared on his body, exuding a pungent stench.
However, his face showed excitement, and his broken meridians were completely restored!
Moreover, the reshaped meridians are obviously much stronger than before, a qualitative change has occurred!
"Broken and then established, dawning of new life!"
He clenched his fist slightly.
The treasure pill molded all the meridians, and there was still a lot of spiritual energy left in the body. He immediately started to refine and practice the "One Sword Peerless" technique.
Soon, another hour passed, and Yi Jian's peerless skill refined and absorbed 100% of these spiritual energies, and he reached the peak of blood accumulation.
Only then did he get up, wash away the dirt on his body, and put on a set of clean clothes.
He felt refreshed and refreshed, and at this moment, he felt that the air had a sweet smell.
The sky gradually darkened and was dotted with stars. He simply ate something and slept comfortably.
In the past few months, he had devoted himself to training, studying alchemy, formations, and cultivation methods, and rarely took long breaks.
Nowadays, a good night's rest is also very necessary.
After all, combining work and rest is also very beneficial to cultivation.
The night passed in a blink of an eye, and the next morning, he got up early and breathed into the morning glow.
The air in the early morning was particularly fresh, and the spiritual energy particles in the air were the thickest. He took out a red fire dragon mushroom and practiced "One Sword Peerless" together.
"One Sword of the World" is mysterious and domineering. As soon as it starts to move, it will draw all the spiritual energy particles within a hundred feet into the body, and refine it 100% perfectly.
At the same time, the medicinal power of Crimson Fire Dragon Zhi is also completely absorbed and integrated into the blood of the whole body under the operation of "One Sword of the End".
For a moment, he felt as if his blood was boiling, becoming purer and purer.
Two hours later, he completely refined the Crimson Fire Dragon Zhi. His cultivation at the peak level of blood accumulation became more and more stable, and his blood energy fluctuated like a wild dragon.
Yi Jian Jue Shi continued to operate, sorting out his energy and blood. He did not get up immediately, thinking about the words of Marquis Yong'an in his mind.
Another half hour passed before he stopped practicing.
"Let's go to Emperor Qin Academy for a visit."
he whispered.
Marquis Yong'an cares about the people and the country, which is worthy of admiration, but he does not have such a high mind. He just wants to protect his relatives and friends.
He wanted to protect Yiyi most, and also his aunt and cousin. If he had extremely high power, he could easily do this.
Puyun City Lord, Liu Yanqing and Juncheng City Lord, why were they afraid of him in the first place? It was because he was afraid of Princess Yueyao, who was related to him.
One day, he will be granted the title of marquis and become a general, and no one in the land of Qin will dare to provoke Yiyi and the others.
Moreover, when a man is alive, he should also accomplish great achievements.
Of course, these do not conflict with benefiting the people and the country.
It was noon and the sun was scorching in the sky. He came to the residence of Marquis Yongan and told Marquis Yongan his decision.
"Okay, okay! Very good!"
Marquis Yongan was very happy.
"I want to go back to Puyun City in Beijun County first, and then go to Emperor Qin College."
Mubei Road.
It has been half a year since he left Puyun City, and he wanted to go back to visit Yiyi first.
"There's no rush, there's still some days before Emperor Qin College enrolls students this year."
Marquis Yong'an patted his shoulder with a smile on his face.
Mu Bei also laughed. After having a simple meal and chat with Marquis Yong'an, he just said goodbye and left. He went to the border city to book a boat ticket back to Bei County.
By chance, a sea turtle will pass by at noon tomorrow.
Returning to the military camp, he found Xiang Zimao, Lu Changhao, Suo Gen and Lu Yang, and briefly explained his upcoming itinerary to the four of them.
"With Brother Bei's strength, even in the Emperor Qin Academy where geniuses gather, he will surely stand out from the crowd!"
"good!"
"We are waiting for Brother Bei to come back and lead us to continue killing the Chu thieves!"
Lu Yang, Lu Changhao and Suo Gendao.
Mu Bei chuckled and looked at Xiang Zimao: "I remember that the agreement between you and your father was to train in the army for half a year. The time has come. Do you want to go back?"
Xiang Zimao looked at Mu Bei: "Brother Bei, I used to be a dandy and domineering person, but since I was beaten by you, I have learned a lot. This time when I came to the border, a lot of things happened. I was bullied and protected by you, Brother Bei." , after killing the enemy under your leadership, Brother Bei, I understand many things better."
"The world is not just Beijun City, the world is very big, but I am very small, no different from dust! Even if I live in a hundred households now, so what? The success of these hundreds of households is all because of Brother Bei. Without Brother Bei, If I were like me before, I might not be able to reach 100 households in my lifetime!"
"Brother Bei, please tell my father that I will not go back. I will continue to hone my skills in the army! One day, I also want to be like Brother Bei, who can stand alone and kill thousands of families of Chu thieves and kill a school captain of Chu thieves! I also want to be like Bei. Brother, he has made thousands of households, a school captain, and even a noble general!"
He clenched his hands, extremely determined and serious.
Mu Bei looked at him deeply and patted his shoulder hard: "Very good! Remember what you said at this moment!"
If your life is as thin as paper, you should have an unyielding heart; if you are born like an ant, you should have the ambition of a swan. Only in this way can you live up to your youthful splendor!
"Um!"
Xiang Zimao nodded vigorously.
Mu Bei smiled and said, "Let's have a drink tonight!"
