    However, Zhou Hao quickly calmed down. Only he knew how much he weighed.

    I went to steal the village gate single-handedly because I felt that I had the ability to do it, and I had to do it for the sake of the folks in Changqing Mountain and the military exploits.  As for the duel with the devil, it was not because of his original intention, but because the devil was too rampant, his pride was aroused, and he wanted to show his strength to the devil.  Besides, when death is imminent, wouldn't he just sit back and wait for death instead of resisting with all his strength?  If he did that, he wouldn't be Zhou Hao!

    Zhou Hao rubbed the back of his head and said: "Oh, Hou Tou, you are not as exaggerated as you said! I am just doing what I think is right out of my heart! But it is not worthy of everyone's high regard."

    Fatty Hou shook his head: "Master Hou, I have been in the army for twenty years. I have conquered east and west, and fought in the north and south. From princes and generals to beggars and prostitutes, what kind of people have I not seen? Even though Master Hou's martial arts are not  Top-notch, but your ability to judge people is no worse than others! It is precisely because you do things from your heart, without any pretense, you are simple and proud, you dare to act and take responsibility, and you don't panic or mess up when things happen.  You are smart and calm enough, decisive in killing and compassionate, that's why I think so highly of you, Lord Marquis."

    Zhou Hao was completely stunned by the praise. Is he really that good?  Is the Zhou Hao that Fatty Hou talks about really him?  If Fatty Hou hadn't been staring at him with a serious look on his face, he would have thought that he was talking about a peerless genius or a peerless figure!

    Zhou Hao¡¯s understanding of himself is very simple. He is never worse than anyone else, but he is also never nobler than anyone else.  The distance between this and Zhou Hao in Fatty Hou's words seems to be huge!

    I heard Fatty Hou continue: "No matter where you go in the future, remember Master Hou's words: stick to your heart and never lose yourself!"

    "Stick to your heart and never lose yourself!" Zhou Hao muttered to himself several times, trying to figure out the meaning. Finally, he raised his head and replied firmly: "Hou Tou, I remember it! Don't worry,  I can definitely do it!¡±

    The return journey is much slower than the arrival.  There are two reasons. First, most of the thousands of Koreans rescued were old, weak, sick and disabled, and could not walk fast at all; secondly, the countless treasures collected by the Fusang people in Korea were also hoarded in the camp and prepared for use.  Most of the large quantities of weapons, armor, and food that came to attack Beiyan were advantageous to General Xue's personal camp.

    A thousand cavalrymen were too few in number, and the thousands of Koreans once again acted as coolies, all pushing large and small carts loaded with loot.  There were also a large number of things that could not be taken away, and they were all burned down.

    Many war horses were also carrying so much loot that they could hardly walk on the road.  It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that the large group of people walked out of Evergreen Mountain and onto the road.

    Passing by Shuangfeng Village again, Zhou Hao took half an hour's leave from Fatty Hou and went back to visit his grandfather. He found that everything in Shuangfeng Village was as before, and his grandfather's body was as strong as before, so he went to catch up with the big team with confidence.

    Before leaving, Zhou Hao also received an unexpected surprise.  The hamstring of the violent bear had been made into an excellent bowstring by Grandpa and given to Zhou Hao.  Zhou Hao happened to feel that his ox-horn bow was too soft, and he was so happy that he quickly replaced it with a bow string made of violent bear sinew.

    After giving it a try, I feel that the horn arch is much stronger!  It's a little difficult to draw the bow continuously, but it's still not a problem to draw the bow fully, but I'm afraid I won't be able to draw dozens of bows in a row like before.

    After catching up with the army, Zhou Hao found the weapons craftsman accompanying the army and used fine steel to strengthen the bow arm.  In the end, the ox-horn bow in Zhou Hao's hand was upgraded into a powerful five-stone bow.  This week, Hao Lian found it a bit difficult to fill up his stomach.

    By this time, Zhou Hao could confirm that the strength of his arms was already about 500 kilograms.  Just a few days ago, the strength of Zhou Hao's arms was only 3,780 kilograms.  But in just a few days, I actually gained more than 100 pounds!

    Such a terrifying growth rate, even Zhou Hao himself couldn¡¯t figure it out.

    "What is the reason? After I came out of that cave, my appetite has been extremely big, and my strength has increased rapidly." Zhou Hao thought to himself, and suddenly remembered the mysterious bone spur that drilled into his left palm, and quickly stretched out his left hand in front of his eyes.  , whispered: "Could it be this bone spur?"

    The wound on the left palm has been completely healed, leaving only a white scar, like a small mouth, across the palm.

    Zhou Hao tried to sense the existence of the mysterious bone spur, but still found nothing. In desperation, he had to put this question aside for the time being.

    ??Come out of Changqing Mountain, go all the way to the southwest along the avenue, walk through the city and town for more than 800 miles, and you will reach Longxiang City, the capital of Liaodong County.

    Longxiang City is located at the intersection of Lusong River and Heilong River.??, when it was first established, it was originally called Longxiang Fortress, and it was a large fortress used to resist foreigners outside the Great Wall.  For more than two thousand years, as the population of the human race has increased and the territory has become larger and larger, the alien races outside the Great Wall have also migrated to the cold and cold places in the far north. Longxiang Fortress has gradually turned into a huge city with a population of over one million.

    The large group of people walked for another six days and finally returned to Longxiang City.  Before entering the city, General Xue, who had returned victorious again, shouted with great interest: "My dear men, beat the victory drum for me!"

    Dozens of soldiers, who had been prepared in advance, quickly beat the drums on horseback hard.

    "Dong! Dong! Dong Dong Dong! Dong Dong!" The neat and high-pitched drumbeats shook people's hearts and soared into the sky.

    With the sound of drums, a wide and endless river came into Zhou Hao's eyes.  A huge stone bridge with multiple arches, like a rainbow, flies over both sides of the river.  On the other side of the stone bridge, a majestic city, like a dormant ancient dragon, lies beside the river. The majestic city wall, which is more than ten feet high, is boundless at a glance.

    Zhou Hao smacked his tongue, thinking that he had seen a few cities along the way, but compared with Longxiang City, those cities could only be regarded as small towns!

    Following the cavalry in front, Zhou Hao stepped onto the long double-arched stone bridge. At a glance, outside the huge city gate facing the stone bridge, flags were already waving and a large group of people gathered.

    When the large group of cavalry walked down the stone bridge with General Xue in their arms, the whole group of people all knelt down, except for a man in a yellow robe who was as tall as Fatty Hou under a yellow umbrella.  The guy who struggled was still sitting still.

    "Welcome General Xue to return victoriously!" The large group of kneeling people greeted him loudly.

    "Get up, everyone!" Xue Wanche waved his hand.

    A group of people stood up, and a middle-aged man with a capable appearance, wearing a crimson official robe, stepped forward and said respectfully: "The general attacked the Fusang people this time and returned with a great victory. If the imperial court receives the battle report, he will definitely  I will reward you generously!¡±

    "Hmph! Thank God for those old guys in the imperial court who don't cause trouble for me. How can I care about the rewards they give me?" Xue Wanche waved his horsewhip and said with disdain.

    Zhou Hao asked Fatty Hou softly: "Hou Tou, who is this person?"

    Fatty Hou said disdainfully: "Who else could it be? Why don't you return as the governor of Liaodong County? If you don't return, we soldiers will be unlucky when we hear this name!"

    Zhou Hao was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that a high-ranking official like the head of a county would actually kneel down and bow when he saw General Xue, and his attitude was even more submissive.

    Logically speaking, the Liaodong County Sheriff and the Liaodong Governor are both full-ranking officials of the third rank, both civil and military. They are of the same rank, and no one can control the other.  However, Xue Wanche holds the titles of Minister of War and General of the State, which are all first-rank official positions, which is far higher than the rank of county guard.  What's more, Xue Wanche is still a hereditary prince. Not to mention a mere county guard, even the prime minister of the dynasty must at least bow to Xue Wanche when he sees him.

    Then Sheriff He bowed and continued: "The official and others have prepared a small amount of wine for the general, and are ready to celebrate the victory for the general, and also ask the general to reward him!"

    Xue Wanche waved his horsewhip and said: "Let's wait for another day. Today I have to celebrate for the lieutenant generals, so I don't have time."

    "Yes, yes, yes! I understand, but!" Sheriff He glanced at the King of Korea who was still sitting still under the yellow umbrella cover, and said in fear: "But this celebration banquet is  The King of Korea prepared it himself, if the general doesn¡¯t go, he will probably lose the King of Korea¡¯s face!¡±

    "Hmph! How can a king of subjugated country have any dignity to speak of!" He glanced at the King of Korea who pretended to be the king of a country, and then looked back at the thousands of Koreans who were following behind the military camp, who were worse than beggars.  , Xue Wanche suddenly smiled with a narrow face.
