Except for Zhou Bai, there are currently a total of 110 people. These are all good soldiers who he has personally selected. Most of them are members of the clan, and the rest are also strong young men from Hongni Township.

It's not that he doesn't want to practice more, but that Zhou Bai simply can't afford it.

This is because the grain produced in his three hundred acres of land in the past few years was returned from the family treasury and stored in the manor.

Now he can only think about training these backbones first, so that if something happens in the future, he can immediately mobilize troops.

His training method is definitely correct. In his previous life, there was no "Essentials of Classics and Martial Arts" to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and he was still able to develop good combat power.

However, the soldiers who have not seen blood now are not nearly as good as they are no matter how much they are trained, so Zhou Bai plans to take his people to the Cangshan Group to steal the moves later.

Once you want to open up wasteland near Cangshan Mountain, it will be difficult to gain a foothold without building a reputation.

Zhou Bai would go to the manor every three days to eat and live together for a day and practice in person to strengthen the team's obedience and recognition of him.

On this day, he walked out of the Group Affairs Hall and was just about to go for routine military training when Zhou Mingxuan came and called him from behind.

Looking back, Zhou Mingxuan, who used to be energetic and strong as he aged, seemed to be a different person now.

No, to be precise, maybe this is the state that an old man in his sixties should have.

He has a stooped back, gray hair like withered grass, and his once bright and sharp eyes have now become cloudy and unclear.

The energetic voice has become a little wilted: "Ahem, Xiaobai, are you ready to go to the manor?"

"Hey, aren't you always playing with the birds at home? It's windy and you might catch a cold." Seeing this, Zhou Bai quickly stepped forward to help him.

For this old patriarch, Zhou Bai still had some respect in his heart. Not to mention the hard work of maintaining the family for so many years, but to say that it did not cause more trouble for him to succeed as the patriarch, it was very sensible.

Before he was knighted, watching the debate between him and everyone in Qunshi Hall was just a sign of thinking about power, so it was not a big mistake.

Now that Zhou Mingxuan is like this, it is probably a state where those who want power have lost their power.

There is an old saying among the people in Daxu: fame, fortune and wealth can make a person immortal.

Seeing that Zhou Bai respected him, Zhou Mingxuan smiled and said, "Don't you talk about cultivating the Zhou family's Taoism every day? Now Jun'er asked you to write a letter and called you back, and you are talking to her mother."

Speaking of this, Zhou Mingxuan's voice finally gained some strength.

"Jun'er? You're back so soon, so I'll go with you to see her now." Zhou Bai was stunned for a moment, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"No way, you go and do your work first. I'll wait for her to finish talking to the old lady and then let her go find you." Zhou Mingxuan shook his head and refused. In his opinion, the majesty of the patriarch is more important than extraordinary combat power.

.

Unable to persuade him to stay, Zhou Bai could only smile bitterly and walk in the opposite direction with the old man.

"Long time no see, Yu Yueyun."

Zhou Bai chanted the name gently, recalling Yu Yueyun's related memories in his mind.

She is the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Mingxuan. She was picked up by Mrs. Zhou Mingxuan when she was still in infancy. Later, when her biological parents could not be found, she took her maiden name of Yu.

Originally, this kind of person was a standard boss template, and it was impossible to say that he was the daughter of a big family who had taken refuge.

However, after experiencing life and death in his previous life, Zhou Bai confirmed that Yu Yueyun was an ordinary abandoned baby, but he was luckier than most and was born to learn Taoism.

Moreover, his academic qualifications are not considered geniuses, they are average or above average at best, and are not as good as those who have taken the imperial examination in the right way.

Now it can be confirmed by looking at his luck with the Qi-gazing technique. The proud and upright red and yellow native is surrounded by cloud-like red luck. From time to time, there is also a handful of green waves-like luck support from afar. That should be it.

The sect behind it.

The Bitao Sect was located somewhere in Ningjiang. Because it obeyed the imperial court and often sent Taoist priests from the sect to serve as Taoist officials, it was granted the right to recruit disciples in Dingzhou.

Of course, there are several Taoist sects in Dingzhou that are no worse than the Bitao sect, but most of the Bitao sects are women, and their techniques tend to be gentle, so the court is more tolerant.

When Zhou Bai was eight years old, a Taoist priest from the Bitao Sect passed by Pingcang and selected several girls to take away. Yu Yueyun was one of them. She was also eight years old that year, the same age as Zhou Bai.

Talking about his childhood memories, Zhou Bai only remembered that Yu Yueyun liked to use her identity as the patriarch's daughter to bully him, such as playing hide-and-seek, but she could only hide and never catch him.

Later, in the memory of the previous life, Yu Yueyun came back just after the great tribulation began. The family was unstable and a Taoist priest must be in charge.

But at that time, she was already at the peak of the first realm. As long as she had the Mortal Transformation Pill, she would be able to break through to the second realm immediately. Now she has just entered the Tao.

There was a deep entanglement between them in their previous life. One was the imperial court official who was in charge of the family, and the other was the only one with extraordinary combat power before Zhou Bai entered Taoism.

It's a good match, and that's the fact. Yu Yueyun likes him very much.

But Zhou Bai thought about how he could not pursue immortality and care about the long-term love between his children after finally succeeding in raising people to learn Taoism.

In addition, a catastrophe suddenly came, and they were busy trying to survive, let alone becoming a Taoist couple.

Later, both of them died in the disaster. Zhou Bai couldn't say he regretted it, but he felt a little guilty and felt sorry for his beloved.

In this life, he should try to take a good look at the people around him, and perhaps not be too lonely on the road to eternal life.

…

Zhou Bai thought that his Taoist mind would no longer be disturbed by external objects. Unexpectedly, when he was teaching the soldiers archery skills, two shadows always overlapped in his mind.

One is the childish play at the boss's banquet, and the other is the sadness and sadness of someone who died in front of him in his previous life.

The Dacheng Bow Skill, which I had just spent three points to improve, obviously hit seven out of ten shots, but after a few rounds, it actually fell far behind the standard.

This forced him to activate the Qi Watching Technique, and the arrows were fired without missing a beat. Only then did he subdue a few talented archers. They often went to Cangshan Mountain to hunt, and their identity as a "hunter" was more pure than Zhou Bai's.

Phew~

Another arrow was shot, but this time Zhou Bai didn't hear the cheers from the whole hall, but a pleasant female voice with a hint of ridicule, which was obviously Yu Yueyun's arrival.

"The clan leader is good at archery, and his arrows are always missed. If I give you enough distance, even I might have to stay away."

"Miss Jun, I haven't seen you for seven years, and you're still like this."

Zhou Bai threw the bow to Zhou Yuan, then wiped his sweat and walked out. Finally, he gave an order without emotion: "Go and see who is on duty outside the school grounds. Let people in at will. First, punish the twenty soldiers."

Stick, one demerit."

"You, you, I am a Taoist priest who has entered the country. How could they guard against me? If you want to punish me, then punish me!" Yu Yueyun was confused, why is this person so unreasonable?

Outside the manor school grounds, Zhou Bai took a careful look at the appearance of the person who came, and it happened to be between the two figures in his mind.

Wearing a green and elegant female crown robe, her black hair was tied into a bun, her fair oval face was slightly red, and her eyes like autumn water were staring at him.

Seeing that she was really a beautiful woman in her prime, Zhou Bai did not expect that Yu Yueyun was actually quite good-looking, so why was he just like a piece of wood in his previous life.

"Hey, don't you want to give me an explanation?" Seeing Zhou Bai looking at him in a daze, Yu Yueyun was a little shy and a little angry.

"What's your explanation? That's a military rule set by me. It has nothing to do with you. We don't consider whether it can be done on the battlefield." Zhou Bai would not give in to this.

Yu Yueyun secretly spat, this person was still as stubborn as when he was a child, so he could only stop forcing himself.

So he asked again: "Then why were you still like this before? Finish talking."

"So unruly and childish!"

"I'm so angry. Do you believe that this fairy will use water to drown you?"

A warm breeze blew by, the sun set in the west, and the fragmentary dim light stretched the two people's chasing backs.
