Chapter 26 Master, I Still Want
"Don't drink with people who come out of the military."
After Zhou Tieyi woke up from bed, this sentence appeared in his mind again.
"Master, you wake up!"
Bai Mei, who was standing by the stove by the window and warming the water, immediately soaked the soft cotton cloth in water, wrung it dry, and handed it over.
After wiping his face with the warm towel, Zhou Tieyi felt more energetic. He even had the leisure to scratch Bai Mei's palm while handing her the towel, "Sister, it's great to have you by my side."
But now is not the time to get drunk and indulge in beauty. Zhou Tieyi glanced at the Gongshujia self-running clock on the lotus seat by the door. He and Zhou Tiege had been drinking since noon, and he had been drunk for another half an hour. It was now almost noon.
"Sister, go and have Ada check the troops at the parade ground. I'll be there soon after I get dressed."
The training ground horn sounded, and after sixty breaths, the soldiers stationed in the Zhou Mansion barracks formed a battle formation.
According to the ancestral system of Daxia, a second-class Huwei general can maintain a family army of 300 soldiers.
Of course, like most rules, it gradually became a dead letter.
Now the Zhou family has limited the number of troops in Baihu City to less than 300.
And these 300 people were all selected from the orphans of the Zhou family in the army or from good families. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a team of "Yulin Guards" belonging to the Zhou family. In the future, they will also join the army commanded by General Huwei and become the backbone.
Zhou Tieyi walked past rows of soldiers with his hands behind his back.
Those who can stand here have been screened for talent and loyalty. It can be said that they are one in a hundred. The only thing Zhou Tieyi can select is luck.
As far as he could see, most people were fair with a hint of red, and a small number had red aura. However, there were only two people like Ah Da who were purely red, and there was not a single person whose aura was golden.
Yes, I am not the only one in this world who has the ability to predict the future. Those who can be seen to have great fortune have long been accepted by major schools and become their direct descendants.
But just like my mother said, life is full of twists and turns, and even the most advanced fortune-telling technique cannot predict a person's fortune or misfortune.
The elite troops under his command will surely be no worse than those descendants of famous families in the future.
"Zhou Mouren, Wang Ba, Li Zhenshan, Zhang Hu."
Zhou Tieyi called out the soldiers one by one and stopped at the fourth one.
Seeing the slightly disappointed looks on the faces of the remaining soldiers, he smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to continue recruiting soldiers, but I'm short of money and can't afford to support you for the time being. You guys train well, and I'll recruit soldiers when my wallet is full."
Since he had already received money from the accounting office every month, Zhou Tieyi had to bear all the expenses of his personal guards himself.
Zhou Tieyi said this beautifully, so even if he was not chosen, he would feel much better.
After counting the soldiers, Zhou Tieyi instructed Ah Er, also known as Zhou Mouren, "Go to the accounting office and transfer the monthly salary of the four of you and your brother to my name. For now, it will be 10 taels per month, and your brother will get 20 taels per month. He will be my personal guard chief."
After hearing this, the four of them had no objection to Zhou Tieyi's orders.
In fact, ten taels per month is not much for these young soldiers who are all eighth-rank warriors. It can even be considered quite little. But as Zhou Tieyi's personal guards, another implicit condition is that the medicines, famous teachers, skills, weapons, etc. used for their own practice are all provided by Zhou Tieyi. That is a resource that is truly so large that it is difficult to measure with money.
"Ada, come with me."
He returned to Qilin Pavilion and came to the underground meditation room.
"Take off your clothes."
Ah Da was slightly stunned. He originally thought that the young master came to the quiet room to tell him something important in private.
But the undressing room...
Seeing Ah Da's shy expression, Zhou Tieyi scolded, "What are you thinking about? Master, I have a beauty to sleep with, who cares about a rough man like you?" "Then why are you asking me to take off my clothes, Master?"
Ah Da smiled awkwardly, but still took off the fish-scale armor on his body, revealing his strong body.
Zhou Tieyi jokingly pressed Ah Da's abdomen with his palm, "You've trained well."
Ah Da forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
My young master often stays at Linshuixuan, and I have never heard that he is fond of men.
"do not move!"
Zhou Tieyi took out a precious sword from the desk, unsheathed the sharp blade, and easily cut his palm. The strange thing was that the palm of his hand was bright red, but no blood seeped out.
Before Ah Da could think more about this strange scene, he saw Zhou Tieyi stabbing him in the abdomen with a knife that was close to him, leaving an inch-long cut.
Ah Da's expression changed drastically and his thoughts changed several times in an instant.
His obedience is really good. The reason why Zhou Tieyi didn't explain it in advance was that he wanted to see whether Ada was worthy of him using a Blood God Son.
"I learned a secret method that can help condense Qi and blood, so I was able to break through to the ninth level so quickly."
As Zhou Tieyi explained, he pressed his cut palm against the wound on Ada's abdomen. A blood lotus seed flew out from his Dantian and disappeared as it fell into Ada's blood.
Secret method?
Ada's worry was compounded by curiosity, and he saw that the blood gushing out of his abdominal wound began to retract inward as if it were a living thing.
Although a ninth-rank warrior can fully control his own qi and blood, qi and blood are not exactly the same. Such a horrifying scene still makes Ada's hair stand on end.
What frightened Ah Da even more was that the blood that returned to his body actually followed the circulation of qi and blood and went towards the most important dantian.
"Relax, if I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't be alone in a room with a seventh-rank like you."
After Zhou Tieyi's reminder, Ah Da finally realized that if Zhou Tieyi really wanted to harm him, or practiced some evil martial arts, there are many ways to make him powerless to resist, and it would definitely not be like now.
As he spoke, Zhou Tieyi showed his palm. The cut wound on his palm healed instantly, leaving only a red line.
"This is?"
Ah Da's voice was trembling a little.
"This is a secret method I practiced. Don't worry. The only problem with this secret method is that you can't betray me in the future. The rest will not harm you in the slightest. If you hadn't grown up with me, do you think this good thing would have happened to you?"
Zhou Tieyi looked sober, neither mad as if he had succeeded in his evil plot nor indifferent as if he had practiced an evil method.
As usual, he looked relaxed and a little playful.
This gave Ada some confidence. He gritted his teeth and stopped using his qi and blood to stop the circulation of the blood.
When the blood lotus seed successfully fell into Ada's dantian, both Ada and Zhou Tieyi gained something.
For Ada, he examined his own Qi Hai Dantian with Qi and blood.
He discovered that the ball of blood had formed a blood-red lotus, and on the lotus was the Martial Arts God that he had condensed. Because he had successfully planted the spirit, his Martial Arts God was no longer just a pure spirit, illusory, but half real and half unreal.
With the blood lotus as a base, the half-real and half-virtual martial arts god became even more solid, and the blood energy around him also surged in an instant!
It only takes a split second!
What made Ah Da even more ecstatic was that he could clearly feel that his own Qi and blood were transforming and strengthening. Moreover, it was no longer a change in the amount of Qi and blood, but an enhancement of his physical endowment!
Is this the benefit of that blood?
Ah Da looked at Zhou Tieyi, his eyes changed from disbelief to fanaticism, and blurted out, "Master, I want more!"
