Chapter 50 The mediocre person (please collect and read)

“Practice fifteen times a day, and it will take thirty years to complete. In other words...it will take about thirty years for me to become an innate martial artist..."

Seeing this line of handwriting, Wei Tu's face was both complicated and happy.

The complexity is—

The previous health-preserving skills were only practiced for five years, but this time the "Marrow Training Sutra" was practiced for thirty years.

And his age at this moment is only twenty-two years old.

Happily -

As long as he practices step by step, he will have a high probability of becoming an innate martial artist after the age of fifty-two. By then, he will be able to extend his life by one life and reach two hundred years.

Innate martial arts masters who are over fifty years old are still among the young generation even in Zheng State.

Otherwise, when Xue Du, the elder of Wu Yun Tower, approached him, he would not have offered him a price to become an innate martial arts master before he was fifty years old.

“The plan cannot keep up with the changes…”

“You can only become an innate martial artist after the age of fifty, so the heirs of me and Xinghua will have to be put on the agenda.”

Wei Tu sighed secretly.

After the age of fifty, he succeeded in extending his life and was still a strong "young man", but the same could not be said for Xinghua.

Thirty years later, Xinghua will be nearly sixty years old. Even if she wants to give birth, she will not be able to give birth.

Even if he has an heir, he may have to endure the pain of a white-haired person giving birth to a black-haired person, but he cannot... miss Xinghua and deny Xinghua the opportunity to raise a child.

When Xinghua grows old.

Children are the only sustenance for him and Xinghua.

“From now on, if your children are unable to practice martial arts, there are still grandchildren, so there is no need to stick to this.”

Weitu made up his mind.

You can’t stop having children just because the child may become useless in the future.

With his current status, it is enough to provide his children with a prosperous and stable life.

Thinking of this, Wei Tu got up and stopped meditating. He walked out of the practice room, drew a bucket of well water, washed his body clean, then entered the living room and got into Xinghua's bed.

“Brother Wei, there is also a new fish maw bought today in the kitchen...” Xinghua’s cheeks turned red, her voice trembled slightly, she pushed Wei Tu beside her and reminded her.

“You won’t need this anymore.”

“Including pig urine bubbles.”

Wei Tu is decisive.

"Brother Wei, have you figured it out?" Xinghua suddenly beamed with joy when she heard this.

She and Wei Tu have been married for nearly five years, but there has been no movement in her stomach. She has been secretly laughed at by her neighbors several times, including Caixia, who privately reminded her to go to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic to get some birth control pills.

However.

In fact,

She was in trouble.

In the past five years, it’s not that she doesn’t want children, but Wei Tu has always said to wait.

The two have been using pig urine bubbles and fish bladders as contraceptive methods.

Fortunately, after today, she doesn’t have to wait anymore.

…

Things are the same as Wei Tu’s guess.

Less than a month after he returned to the county town from Sanyuan Township, the Xiangjun Yamen issued a military order to attack the Wuyunlou branch.

This time, it was an urgent military order, ordering the soldiers to be mobilized to march out within half a day. No mistakes should be made. Failure to do so would result in execution.

Wei Tu and Wei Fei were the last martial arts scholars because of their high martial arts skills, and they were both within the recruitment scope of the Xiangjun Yamen.

So.

At three o'clock in the evening, a group of hundreds of elite Xiang troops, under the command of Xu County Lieutenant, filed out from the gate of the county town and ran all night.

“These soldiers may seem to be elite, but they have no combat experience. I’m afraid they will suffer a big loss on the battlefield...”

"The governor is just talking on paper..." On the way, Wei Fei and Wei Tu rode side by side. He glanced at the soldiers who were following them on the march, shook his head and said.

The number of Xiang troops in Qingshan County is probably more than 3,000 in the account book, but the actual number is only more than 1,000.

Most of these more than a thousand people became peddlers and pawns because of low food and salary for the Xiang army, and found other ways to make a living in the county.

But this time the military order to mobilize soldiers came in such a hurry that the Xiangjun Yamen did not even have time to prepare. Therefore, except for some Xiangjun, many of the soldiers dispatched were just servants and martial arts masters of local wealthy families.

Therefore, these people seem to be braver and stronger than the Xiang army, but they are not touched.

It will collapse at the first touch.

“Wuyun Tower is not much better than us even if you think about it.”

"They are just martial arts sects, not enemies on the battlefield. They are no different from bandits."

“Besides, we are only dealing with one branch.”

Wei Tu thought for a moment and comforted him.

If Xu County Lieutenant led a group of them to fight a tough battle, he planned to escape halfway.

But he believed that Wuyun Tower was not much better than theirs, and it might even be worse.

On the battlefield, they compete with each other.

As long as there are fewer mistakes on their side than Wu Yunlou, they have a chance to win.

“Yes, what we are dealing with is just the branch of Wuyunlou, a branch. We don’t expect that there are many people and it’s a formidable enemy!”

Hearing this, Wei Fei nodded and smiled.

Next.

Wei Tu and Wei Fei remained silent and began to accumulate strength, waiting for the next battle.

An hour later.

The rapid march stopped at a mountainous area. The commander in charge, Xu County Lieutenant, ordered the rapid marchers to sit down and rest, put out their torches, and prepare their armour.

“Is it Siyang Town, Baiyang County?”

“Is the Wuyunlou branch hidden here?”

Wei Tu rode his horse forward and took a look at the landscape outside the mountains under the bright moonlight. After comparing it with the map in his hand, he thought to himself.

He and Wei Fei were only middle-level military attachés in the Xiang army and were not qualified to read detailed military orders, so they did not know the specific target location until they arrived at the destination.

Wei Tu was from a high position, overlooking the entire Siyang Town, and combined with the map, he estimated where the branches of Wuyun Tower were hidden among the many buildings in Siyang Town.

But after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see anything strange about Siyang Town.

Siyang Town, like many small towns of this era, is dark at night, with only a few wealthy households lighting up night lights.

"It seems that I don't have any extraordinary military talents." Wei Tu laughed at himself.

- He had already memorized several volumes of military books that were tested in the military strategy exam, but after today's actual battle, he found out that he was not able to formulate corresponding tactics based on the military books and local conditions. At this moment... Quite a bit helpless.

“If it weren’t for the fate of “Late Bloomer”, which can improve my strength, I’m afraid I’d still be doing nothing…”

Wei Tu sighed secretly.

It only took five years for him to perfect his health-preserving skills, enter the realm of sensing Qi, and achieve something that his master Shan Wuju had never been able to do in his life. He could not help but feel arrogant.

However, at this moment, Wei Tu suddenly realized that he was very mediocre. Except for the fate of "late bloomer", he seemed to be no different from ordinary people.

Just a mediocre person.

Weitu rode away.

Return to the marching army.

Soon, Lieutenant Xu County informed their group of the hiding place of the Wuyunlou branch.

“Liujiabao, built on the mountain, is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is located in the northwest corner of Siyang Town, with the Mao River flowing through it. It is a natural moat..."

Xu Xianwei said slowly.

Thanks to Rising Power for the reward of 100 starting coins, and imgd for the reward of 100 starting coins.
