    A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

    In the past few days, in addition to daily practice, Zhou Hao also worked overtime to carve five formation arrows.

    Although there has been successful experience, for several days in a row, the success rate has been only about one quarter.

    In other words, Zhou Hao carved a total of twenty arrows, carved and exploded fifteen, and only succeeded in five.

    It took more than half an hour to carve an arrow each time. Carving twenty arrows took Zhou Hao a lot of time, and even the cultivation of inner strength was delayed for a time.

    Fortunately, with five formation arrows in hand, Zhou Hao also had a little more confidence, and he had the strength to fight against the masters of martial arts.

    And Zhou Hao's archery skills have also successfully broken through to the level of one bow, three arrows and three-star continuation in the past few days.  In the upcoming expedition, it can be regarded as a few more chips.

    But Zhou Hao¡¯s progress in learning Qimen Bagua was quite slow.

    After getting started with Qimen Bagua, you need to learn various formations.  The extremely complicated array diagrams made Zhou Hao dizzy.  Without the energy to strengthen his brain, Zhou Hao would still feel bored if he stared at the formation map for a long time.

    Hongsu didn¡¯t seem to be in a hurry, and didn¡¯t urge Zhou Hao to memorize by rote like before.  Instead, a formation diagram was thrown out every day. Zhou Hao could remember it if he could remember it, and forget it if he couldn't.

    Learning Qimen Bagua actually requires cultivation!  The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the memory and understanding.  Zhou Hao is just a third-rate person who has just started cultivating. No matter how hard he is pressed, it will be useless.

    ?¡­

    In three days, the army will go out.  In the past few days, the entire Longxiang City, both inside and outside, had turned into a huge military camp.  Flags of various colors were flying everywhere, and there were endless camps stretching for dozens of miles.

    A total of 300,000 troops, as well as more than 400,000 civilians and local warriors, were conscripted to Longxiang City to prepare for the expedition to Goryeo.

    "And everyone in the Liaodong Governor's Mansion was so busy that they didn't even touch the ground.  As the brain and center of the entire Eastern Expedition army, all personnel and horses, food, grass and baggage, offensive and defensive strategies, etc., must all be coordinated and arranged here.  Everyone wears multiple hats and is busy day and night without a moment's rest.

    Most of Xue Wanche's personal guards have already been sent out and have taken on the role of scouts.  Even Hongsu shouldered the task of being a staff officer. He discussed offensive and defensive strategies with General Xue and others all day long, and temporarily put aside teaching Zhou Hao the Eight Trigrams of the Qi Sect.

    Only Zhou Hao, a newly promoted personal guard, has no official title and is light-weight. He only cares about practicing all day long and does not listen to what is going on outside the window.

    On this day, Zhou Hao had just had breakfast, sat down and was about to start a day of practice.

    "Woooooo!" Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

    "Who is it? What's going on?" Zhou Hao opened his eyes and asked.

    "Prince Zhou, someone is looking for you at the gate of the courtyard!" Someone outside the door replied.

    Zhou Hao was slightly surprised, quickly got up, opened the door and asked, "Who will come to see me?"

    The person who knocked on the door was a guard. When he saw Zhou Hao opening the door, he quickly and respectfully replied: "It's our own barracks commander. He said he wants to see you for something!"

    "What does Hou Tou want to do with me? I haven't seen him for almost two months now. Let's go and see what Hou Tou can do!"

    After saying that, Zhou Hao followed the guard outside the courtyard.

    As soon as he walked to the entrance of the courtyard, Zhou Hao saw Fatty Hou standing there holding a white belly, looking at him with a smile.

    Zhou Hao hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "Hou Tou, long time no see! Your belly seems to be a lot bigger!"

    "You kid, you poked at Mr. Hou and my shortcomings as soon as I came up! Didn't you see Mr. Hou that I am more majestic than before?" Fatty Hou slapped Zhou Hao on the shoulder hard, making Zhou Hao's whole body sink slightly.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ve been promoted, and of course I¡¯m more prestigious than before!¡±

    "Speaking of which, Lord Marquis, I am able to be the deputy regimental commander, and it is also due to your boy! If your boy's performance under me, Lord Marquis, was so amazing, I would not be able to take this position.  Sit down!" Fatty Hou said with some emotion.

    "That's because you have good leadership, Hou Tou, so that we big soldiers can fight our best on the battlefield!"

    Zhou Hao has been in the military camp for several months, and his face has become thicker and thicker. He flatters others without blushing at all.

    "You brat, I haven't seen you for two months, but you're better at talking than before!"

    "Hey, Hou Tou came to see me today. What's going on?"

    "Of course I'm looking for you for good reasons! When I first met you, Mr. Marquis, I told you that I would get you a good horse when I returned to the county. Mr. Marquis, I have always remembered this.of.  But Lord Marquis, I have just taken over the personal barracks. I need to take care of many things personally, and I also have to prepare for the expedition. I really haven't taken any time in the past two months.  "

    Fatty Hou paused and continued: "But the Fusang people are about to be attacked. We can't let your kid ride a broken horse to Goryeo, right? A batch of good horses just arrived from the west yesterday. Mr. Hou, I  How about I take you to pick one?"

    When Zhou Hao heard this, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!"

    "Haha, you kid, you're still so impatient!" After saying that, Fatty Hou turned around and waved his hand, and two soldiers from far away led two horses.

    One of the yellow horses was Fatty Hou¡¯s mount, while the other was the tall bay-red horse that Zhou Hao had not seen for two months.

    When Zhou Hao saw his former mount, he felt particularly friendly. He quickly went up and hugged the maroon horse's neck, touched the mane on its neck, and said softly: "Man, we haven't seen each other for two months, and you are like Hou Tou."  , I have gained a lot of fat!"

    "You stinky boy, how can you compare the Marquis and me with horses? Although you are no longer in the camp of the Marquis, I have ordered the people below to take good care of your horses. I always provide the best food every day.  If you have enough care, why don¡¯t you take a long look!¡±

    "Haha, thank you so much, Hou Tou! You brought the horse here, do we still have to ride on it to choose a horse?"

    "Of course, the military horse farm is twenty miles outside the city. Can't we walk there?" Fatty Hou said as he got on his horse.

    Seeing this, Zhou Hao quickly said: "Then Hou Tou, wait for me first!"

    After saying that, he ran back to the house and picked up the ox-horn bow. After thinking about it, he took three more formation arrows with him. Then he went out and rode on the bay-red horse, and headed out to Longxiang City with Fatty Hou.  Behind them were several of Fatty Hou's personal soldiers.

    "You boy, we are not going to fight, why are you bringing this guy with you?" Fatty Hou glanced at the bow and arrow behind Zhou Hao and said.

    "Hey, I haven't hunted for more than two months, and my hands are really itchy! If we can encounter any prey, I can enjoy it!" Zhou Hao said with a smile.

    "You're really a kid. You've been in the army for so long, but you still haven't forgotten your old skills!"

    Zhou Hao and Fatty Hou walked in front, chatting and walking out of the city. After more than half an hour, they exited the west gate of Longxiang City.

    As soon as he left the city, what caught Zhou Hao's eyes were the tents stretching to the horizon, as well as various flags flying high.  Groups of cavalry were passing between the camps, and large groups of soldiers were clumsily practicing on sleds in the snow.

    Looking at the soldiers practicing skiing, Zhou Hao turned to Fatty Hou beside him and asked, "Tou Hou, have you learned how to ski?"

    When Fatty Hou heard this, he immediately became furious: "Don't bring this up! I don't know what evil spirit came up with this bad idea. The general actually ordered all the soldiers in the army to learn how to use this damn sled, otherwise  He is not allowed to go out with the army! His grandma, look at my body, Mr. Hou, where do I have the materials to learn this sled? In order to learn this crap thing a few days ago, Mr. Hou, I made a fool of myself! In order to protect myself in front of my brothers  To save face, Lord Marquis, I had to get up in the middle of the night and practice secretly by myself. For three consecutive nights, I fell countless times and broke two skis, but I finally managed to learn it!"

    Having said this, Fatty Hou turned his head and stared at Zhou Hao and said, "If I let Mr. Hou know who came up with this bad idea, I'll see if I don't remove two of his ribs!"
