Martial Arts: The Gunslinger

"Pity……"Ji Xiaofu saw all this, but she couldn't say much. Su Ming was a famous gun master, and there were countless people who wanted to become his apprentice. She could only feel sorry for Xiao Zhao in her heart.

"Sir, I wonder if you have noticed recently that we can always see petal marks on the way to Haozhou City. It's really strange."At this time, Ji Xiaofu said

"I saw it. Let's talk about it later. Don't mention it for now."

Su Ming agreed vaguely, lowered his head to chew the lamb leg, and secretly glanced at Xiao Zhao. Seeing her lower her head, her face was full of guilt and helplessness. Su Ming thought that after all, she was a child, and her heart couldn't hide big secrets.

""Okay, have you finished eating? Let's get on the road and go to Haozhou now."

After finishing the meal, Su Ming and the other two rode on their horses, left the snow forest, and headed for Haozhou City.

Haozhou City was only eighty miles away. In a few cups of tea, Su Ming and his team arrived at the foot of Haozhou City. Under the guidance of Mingzong's secret agents, they rode directly to the City Lord's Mansion.

In front of the City Lord's Mansion, the ground was covered with a layer of clear snow, and a row of big red lanterns were hung under the eaves. Two big stone lions had big red flowers tied around their necks, looking very happy and cheerful.

"Zhu Yuanzhang, meet the suzerain!"

"Chang Yuchun, meet the sect leader!"

"Shen Wansan, meet the master!"

"Tanghe, see……"

Su Ming stood at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. In the courtyard in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang, Chang Yuchun, Shen Wansan and others all knelt on one knee, their eyes full of joy and loyalty, and saluted Su Ming in unison.

"All right, everyone stand up."

Su Ming smiled slightly, raised his hands up in the air, and the surging Mingshen Qi took effect. Zhu Yuanzhang and others who were kneeling on the ground stood up one by one.

""Master, your magic skills have improved again!" Zhu Yuanzhang said to Su Ming with wide eyes and surprise.

The last time he saw Su Ming was in autumn, and now it is the end of winter. Three or four months have passed, and Su Ming's strength has become stronger.

"Yes, I went to Kunlun Mountain and improved my cultivation a little bit."

Su Ming walked into the yard, patted Zhu Yuanzhang on the shoulder, and encouraged him:"Yuanzhang, when you took Haozhou City, I had just returned from the Western Regions. You have made great contributions this time, and I will reward you handsomely!"

Haozhou City is a battleground for military strategists!

There are dangerous mountains in front and thousands of acres of fertile fields behind!

Zhu Yuanzhang's capture of Haozhou City was epoch-making. As a superior, Su Ming naturally wanted to reward according to merit.

"Master, you saved my life. I don't care whether you reward me or not. As long as I can help you, I will repay you. Zhu Yuanzhang said with loyalty in his eyes.

Even his life belongs to Su Ming, so what's the point of talking about reward or not?

"" Reward those who have made contributions, punish those who have made mistakes!"

Su Ming said word by word:"Yuanzhang, remember, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, you must clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. Only in this way can you convince the people and the soldiers will listen to your orders."

Zhu Yuanzhang was the commander-in-chief of Mingzong's army. He held an armed force of peasants. He had to master the art of controlling his subordinates. Su Ming was reminding him

""Master, I remember it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily and kept Su Ming's words in mind.

""Yuanzhang, this Mingguang Armor is for you."

Su Ming waved to Ji Xiaofu, and Ji Xiaofu took out the Mingguang Armor that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Mingguang Armor.

Su Ming had taken out the armor a long time ago.

Su Ming had the Mingshen Battle Gang to protect his body, so he didn't need armor. Zhu Yuanzhang was going to fight the enemy, so it was the best thing to give him the Mingguang Armor.

"What a mighty armor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy when he got the Ming Guang Armor. He put it on directly. It fit him perfectly.

The Ming Guang Armor has a heart-protecting mirror on the chest. It has strong defense and can reflect the sun's rays. On the battlefield with thousands of troops, it shines like a god of war and can boost the morale of the army.

In the following time, Su Ming and Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the City Lord's Mansion. Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of the wall map and introduced his city defense plan to Su Ming. In his words, he wanted to build Haozhou City into an iron city.

Su Ming said:"Yuanzhang, if you want to gain a firm foothold in troubled times, I will give you nine words."

Zhu Yuanzhang said:"Which nine words? Your subordinates are all ears."

Su Ming smiled leisurely, and raised the Piercing Rainbow Spear with one hand. The tip of the spear emitted a spear light that was several feet long. With a few strokes, he left nine large characters in a flamboyant style on the wall of the City Lord's Mansion:

"Build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the wall and read the nine words from top to bottom. He felt that they were profound and meaningful, and would guide his future work.

""Master, I will keep your nine-word mantra in mind!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.

"Well, just remember it." Su Ming put down the Guanhong Gun and changed the subject:"I have been here for so long, why haven't I seen Susu? What is she busy with? Does she know I am here?" To be honest, Su Ming came to Haozhou this time mainly to see Yin Susu, and Zhu Yuanzhang was secondary.

""Master, Master Yin is in seclusion."

Zhu Yuanzhang answered immediately after hearing Su Ming's question.

"Retreat?"

Su Ming pondered for a moment, thinking, is he retreating at this time to break through the bottleneck? Such a big thing, I have to go and see it myself

"Yuanzhang, you lead the way, let's go and take a look"

""Yes, Master."

Zhu Yuanzhang led the way, and Su Ming followed behind. They set out from the City Lord's Mansion and soon left Haozhou City. They came to a barren mountain outside the city and climbed to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was covered with snow all year round, and there was a clear spring in the middle. It was the coldest month of winter, and the spring had already frozen, and the water surface was as smooth as a mirror.

"Who is the person on the lake? Su Su?"

Su Ming stood at the edge of the frozen pond, his eyes fixed on a girl in pink in the middle of the lake.

The girl was alone, sitting cross-legged on the lake, with a precious sword across her knees. She was pinching the sword gestures with both hands, her eyes closed, and cold currents swirled around her body, making a buzzing sound.

""Master, the one in front is Master Yin, would you like to go over?" Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing behind Su Ming, asked respectfully.

"No." Su Ming shook his head and explained,"Su Su is practicing the Six Cold Skills and has reached a critical moment. If I disturb her at this time, she might go crazy."

""It was my fault for not considering it carefully." Zhu Yuanzhang apologized immediately.

While Su Ming was talking to Zhu Yuanzhang, Yin Susu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ice, seemed to have successfully broken through the last barrier, and a sharp cold air burst out from her body.

Huh!

The cold air radiated from her core to the surroundings, sweeping away the snow and dust on the ice, and it suddenly became spotless.

""Six Art of Ao Han, cut!"

Yin Susu suddenly opened her eyes, jumped up from the ice, held the knife in both hands, and chopped it down, hitting the ice hard.

Crack!

The Dragon Slaying Saber chopped on the thick ice, and the ice cracked like the ground. A bottomless gully spread on the ice, extending for dozens of steps before stopping. The entire lake was divided into two by the gully.

"Done!"

"I have finally entered the realm of the acquired realm!"

Looking at the deep trench she had dug with her own hands, Yin Susu smiled and thought it was a pity that the young master was not here, otherwise he would be very happy.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Suddenly, there was a clapping sound on the silent and deserted mountain.
