With a flushed face, Gao Zhijian exerted all his strength and tremblingly lifted the giant halberd back onto the ox cart.

Without taking a breath, he picked up a piece of cloth and wrapped the sharp tip of the halberd.

Li Shidi had told him to wrap it up after practicing, because the halberd's previous owner was a general of the Later Shu Dynasty. If recognized by the officials of the Qingqiu, it would inevitably cause trouble.

Looking at the wrapped halberd, he scratched the back of his head in frustration.

After practicing for so long, he could only lift it. It was like paper in the woman's hand.

He gestured with his hand to measure the length, thinking that maybe he could shorten it to make it lighter. Besides, if he had to use it, 12 feet was too long.

The specifications for weapons were only 12 feet, and unless it was a gunner, it was not good for close combat on the ground.

He lifted the curtain of the ox cart and carefully examined the heavy armor that was haphazardly piled inside, occasionally putting it on and gesturing.

Gao Zhijian understood that these armor pieces were extraordinary, as they could block Li Shidi's sword.

But the woman was much bigger than him, and if he wanted to wear it, he would have to find a blacksmith to modify it.

In addition, there was the weight. This armor weighed several hundred catties, and he needed to train more to have enough strength.

"Hey, what are you doing? Come here, I have something to talk to you about. It's good news!"

Gao Zhijian turned around with an unhappy face and looked down at the talking kid.

"Look, have you seen those women? Some of them seem to be interested in you."

Gao Zhijian looked over and saw the women who were huddled together stealing glances at him. When they saw him looking, they quickly shrunk back.

"Hey, do you want a wife? If you do, I, Cao Cao, can be your matchmaker."

Gao Zhijian continued to tinker with the armor pieces and didn't bother with the kid.

"Do you still think others are dirty? Others haven't even thought you are stupid. People like us shouldn't be picky, just find someone to settle down with quickly. There won't be another chance like this."

"I'm telling you, I have some information. Soon you'll be able to have your wedding banquet."

"Go...go...go..." Gao Zhijian stuttered.

"Go? Okay, let's go see."

"Go...go...go away!" His loud voice startled the kid.

"I'm just thinking about your future, as a brother. You might not be able to find someone in the future."

Gao Zhijian pushed him away with a slap, causing the kid to stumble and fall to the ground.

The disgruntled kid walked away and went to Zhao Wu, who was sitting on the side of the ox cart.

"Chirp chirp chirp~!" Gao Zhijian made a sound to attract the resting dog under the carriage.Mantou, who heard the sound, stretched his front paws and yawned lazily. Then he stuck his ears to his head and shook his head and walked towards Gao Zhijian.

Gao Zhijian carefully held the dog in his arms and touched it over and over again, feeling the soft hair brushing his palm. He couldn't help but smile.

He reached into his arms, took out half a yellow cake, and shook it in front of Mantou. When he saw that there was food, Mantou's tail wagged more vigorously.

Gao Zhijian picked some crumbs from the cake with his hand and put them in his palm, quietly feeling the feeling of Mantou's tongue licking his palm.

Mantou ate quickly, and soon the half cake was gone. Gao Zhijian closed his eyes and buried his head in the dog's hair, which kept rubbing against him.

He liked dogs. Dogs were better than people. Gao Zhijian even thought that he wanted Li Shidi to give him this dog.

After rubbing for a while, he opened his eyes and carefully took out the book of military strategy from his arms and read it carefully.

He didn't know why he could read it over and over again without getting tired. Although there were some contents that he couldn't understand, he felt that the book had a familiar feeling.

Looking at Gao Zhijian holding Mantou, Gouwa shook his head helplessly. "Hey, this fool really hasn't realized it. He likes playing with dogs more than women."

"Gouwa, I advise you to be more obedient. If you are rude to those women, Li Shixiong is too busy to deal with you, and Xiaoman will definitely kill you with a sword." Zhao Wu, who was counting the supplies with an old abacus, advised.

"You're scolding me even though you didn't follow me? Do I, Gouwa, need to be violent to get a wife?"

"When it comes to dealing with women, I'm very capable! You just wait and see, I will definitely hook up with someone before we reach Liangguo! Want to bet?"

"Okay, okay, you're amazing, go hook up then. Don't bother me, I still have to do the accounts. If you don't distribute them properly, you'll have to go hungry next time."

Gouwa scratched the vitiligo on his face with his hand. He looked at Zhao Wu, whose shoulders were uneven, and still tried to persuade him: "Don't you want to join me? People like us have to know our own abilities. If we don't seize the opportunity, you'll be single for the rest of your life."

Zhao Wu was a little annoyed, "Li Shixiong is injured like that, and you still have time to talk about this?"

"Even if his hand is broken, it can grow back. What are you worried about? You guys are always worrying for nothing."

"I've followed along this way, and I've seen it clearly. That's just how Li Shixiong is!" Gouwa pointed to the tall thumb tree. "Rest assured, even if the King of Hell comes to find him, he will be fine."

Zhao Wu showed a trace of worry in his eyes, recalling everything he had seen during this time. No matter how he looked at it, Li Shixiong didn't look like he was okay.

They were all injured, but Li Shixiong's injury was invisible and the most severe.

"What are you worried about? Li Shixiong is almost like a fairy now. He has so many magical powers. If there is really trouble, can we help?"

"Zhao Wu, didn't I just tell you? People should know their own abilities. I know I'm not capable, so I'm not going to bother with it."

"Why are you so lacking in ambition?"

"Come on, don't act like you're so ambitious. Besides Li Shixiong, anyone with ambition was killed by the leper in that cave." Gouwa sneered.

The sound of the abacus suddenly stopped, and Zhao Wu hesitated as he said, "Gouwa, do you think Li Shixiong's abilities could be taught to us?"

As soon as Zhao Wu said this, Gouwa immediately covered his stomach and walked away, "Oh, oh, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the bathroom. Let's talk later."

He had already figured it out. Li Shixiong's abilities were not obtained for nothing. Chun Xiaoman had only used them once and lost a hand, it was too frightening.

And who knows if Li Shixiong's increasing madness was caused by these abilities, he didn't want to end up like that.
