After all, 99% of the Ming generals were under the hereditary system. The generals born in the martial arts were neither loved by civil officials nor accepted by their own military generals. With a few exceptions, most of the others were given idle positions and waiting for the day of waiting for the candidates.

And Liu Xin is naturally no exception. He waited hard all his life until his life died, and he did not wait for the imperial court's order.

Just listening to Manager Wu’s words, Li Xiu couldn’t help feeling inexplicably sad.

A martial arts competition spread across the country, with the third highest digit, and I waited for my whole life without using what I learned to serve the country.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I’m powerless!

This has to be said, it is really a kind of sadness.

"Yes, I still remember that Mr. Liu participated in the martial arts and reached the top all the way. What a glory it was, but I didn't expect..."

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper!"

Before the old doctor surnamed Liu finished speaking, a burst of rapid shouts suddenly sounded outside the hospital. Then a servant hurried into the hospital. The sound of anger sounded again: "Shopkeeper... Mr. Liu, a patient came to the pharmacy. It seemed that he was deeply poisoned. He felt that he would not last long..."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Wu and Mr. Liu looked at each other, said a few words to Li Xiu, and then hurriedly ended the visit and left in a hurry.

The courtyard was quiet again, but there were a few boxes of medicinal materials. After closing the courtyard gate, Li Xiu did not check the medicinal materials as soon as possible, but walked into the study room.

The study room is not big. Apart from some necessary furniture, there are no other decorations. Only the bookshelf behind the desk is extremely conspicuous.

When he saw this bookshelves, Li Xiu took a random look at two books, but they all turned out to be some Confucian classics. Li Xiu thought that the owner of the house was a literati, but he didn't expect that he was a martial jinshi!

"I don't know if there are any martial arts secrets left..."

With strange expectations, Li Xiu quickly walked to the bookshelf and looked through them one by one.

"The Analects of Confucius? The martial scholar still read this thing?"

After reading books one by one, what disappointed Li Xiu was that most of them were Confucian classics and some eight-legged essays that he could not understand at all.

"Um?"

When he looked at the bottom of the bookshelf and looked at the books in his hand, Li Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, as if he was interested.

After searching for it, more than ten book books were cleaned up by Li Xiu.

Sitting down behind the desk casually, Li Xiu picked up a book and read it with interest.

Through the four big words "Ji Xiaoxin Shu" on the cover of the book, you can clearly see why the content of this book is!

The famous Qi Shaobao led the Qi family army to travel across the north and south, leaving behind two military books to pass on to later generations, which are "Ji Xiao New Book" and "State Military Training!"

And there is no doubt that other books on the table are naturally all military books.

There are Sun Tzu's Art of War, Wei Liaozi, the Six Strategies of War, as well as the practical techniques of the Fire Dragon Artifact Formation, Fire Attack and other battle formations!

Li Xiu was not too surprised to see so many military books at first sight. Although military knowledge is important, the printing technology of this era is unprecedentedly prosperous. Although military books are rare, it is not difficult to collect some as long as you spend your time.

What's more, Liu Xin was a martial Jinshi, and it would be a strange thing to have no military books.

After all, although the military practice in the Ming Dynasty was not the norm, under the leadership of civil officials, they still valued military strategy. The assessment of martial arts skills tended to be formalized and not valued. Then Liu Xinneng was in the third grade in high school, so how could he not talk about martial arts? Military strategy should be good in terms of military strategy.

These thoughts flashed through my mind. Li Xiu casually opened the cover and the font came into his eyes. Although it was in the ancient text format and was obscure and difficult to understand, fortunately, he had the experience of reading medical books in a cave. Although it was still a bit difficult to adapt, he was not completely unable to read it.

The beginning is just a preface, telling the story of Qi Jiguang's lifelong battle, which seems to be regarded as a brief memoir.

After reading with interest for a while, Li Xiu seemed to remember something, and his expression suddenly became stunned. Then, his eyes immediately fixed on the new book of Ji Xiao in his hand again.

"Martial arts... medical books... so can military books also..."

As he was mumbling in his mouth, Li Xiu stood up suddenly, but there was a strange excitement between his eyebrows.

When we come to this era, how can we lose the battle and the battlefield be full of swords and iron horses!

He is not a genius, and he can't do anything to do with the superficial things he used during military training. He even commands more than ten soldiers now. When fighting on the battlefield, he feels that there are too many things he needs to learn.

It is completely unimaginable that if one day he wants to lead the troops, how far he will have to go!

But if these military books can be transformed into skills like medical books, and have a thorough understanding of skills!

Even if it’s just a talk on paper, it’s definitely a huge help for him!

With a mere little flag, he will have a lot of opportunities in the future to combine things that are talking about on paper with practice!

A series of thoughts flashed through my mind. Li Xiu did not hesitate at all and held this new book Jixiao in his hand again. This time, there was no slight negligence, and Li Xiu also studied it word by word.

...

West of the city.

In an ordinary house.

More than a dozen men in black stood straight in the courtyard. In the lobby, there were several men in wealthy clothes sitting upright. However, these people looked a little anxious, and their eyes looked out of the hall from time to time, obviously waiting for someone.

"Bang!"

In the silence, a dull roar suddenly rang out, and then a burst of rapid shouts were heard in the courtyard at the same time.

Everyone in the hall immediately looked out the door, but saw a man's heart was covered in blood and his face was pale, and he was being supported by two men.

"Protector!"

In an instant, one shout after another sounded in the hall. In just a few breaths, several people actually came outside the hall, which showed how skillful these people were in martial arts.

"Protector, who dares to hurt you!"

"Hurry, Wang Haoxian has been seriously injured by my poisonous needle. I immediately sent someone to look at the major pharmacies in the city and found the traces. Report immediately!"

Hou Mingxian looked cold and waved his hand to push away the person who was supporting him. He gave a cold command and sat cross-legged on the spot to adjust his body and get up.

“There are six pharmacies in the city.”

At this time, someone spoke out.

"I will act separately. If there is any abnormal movement, please contact me again!"

"good!"

"Can!"
Chapter completed!
