My strength increases by 100 pounds every day

The iron mine near Xuanlong Pass is called Donglin Iron Mine. It is located on the side of a huge forest and covers a vast area. It is rich in a kind of fine iron stone called raw iron.

It is said that no matter what kind of weapon, if it is mixed with a piece of raw iron, the quality of the weapon can be greatly improved, making the weapon sharper and tougher.

Therefore, the importance of this iron mine is self-evident.

When Jiang Shi and others rushed over, dozens of people were already guarding the entire iron mine. Without exception, they were all wearing red armor, with tall bodies and majestic postures.

The leader was a tall, thin man with a pair of mouse beards. When he saw Taoist Chihuo leading a group of disciples from the Zhenwu Temple, he suddenly became overjoyed and hurried over.

"You are finally here. These days, I am really on tenterhooks. I am always worried that I will be suddenly attacked by the enemy. If my small number of men encounter the enemy, I am afraid that they will be wiped out in an instant."

Chihuo Taoist suddenly showed suspicion and said: "The iron ore land is so important, why doesn't the General Soldier send more people here?"

"What you don't know is that there is chaos everywhere now. The Red Turban Army is like ants, pervasive, which has greatly dispersed our troops. In addition, there are bandits from all over the place. Our manpower is far from enough, otherwise we wouldn't be able to Recruit your sects."

The tall and thin man said, "By the way, Xiong Kaishan, what do you call this Taoist priest?"

Xiong Kaishan?

Many disciples of Zhenwu Temple behind him looked surprised.

This guy is as skinny as a stick, with a shriveled body, yet he has such a domineering name?

"Pindao Chihuo!"

Chihuo Taoist saluted.

"You are the Chihuo Taoist from Zhenwu Temple?"

Xiong Kaishan's eyes flashed, showing joy, and said: "Okay, okay, with you here, I will feel more at ease."

He turned around, made a big move with his hand, and shouted: "Young men, prepare a banquet to entertain the masters of Zhenwu Temple today!"

"General Xiong, the iron ore matter is of great importance, so no drinking..."

Taoist Chihuo's expression changed slightly.

"Don't worry, we're just replacing wine with water."

Xiong Kaishan smiled.

"That's good, that's good."

Taoist Chihuo's expression softened slightly.

Next, Xiong Kaishan directly and warmly entertained a group of Zhenwu Temple disciples including Jiang Shi.

Liu Si, Li San and others around him also relaxed immediately.

"Boss, it seems that the Red Flame Army is quite easy to get along with."

Liu Si smiled.

Jiang Shi nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."

I can’t say that they are easy to get along with, I can only say that everyone has their own needs.

Xiong Kaishan wanted to rely on their strength to fight against the enemy who could come at any time, so he was so polite to them.

If you knew that most of their group were outer disciples who had not developed any strength, what kind of expression would they have?

Night falls.

The reception is over.

In a hut made entirely of wood.

Xiong Kaishan's expression changed, and he listened carefully to the news that his confidants had just heard.

"So, most of the Zhenwu Temple disciples who came here are people who haven't developed any strength?"

Xiong Kaishan asked.

"Yes General, there are less than twenty people who have developed their strength."

A young general gritted his teeth and spoke.

The others also had gloomy expressions and clenched their fists.

Xiong Kaishan sighed and said: "It seems that Zhenwu Guan is not a fool."

"What should we do? Do we need to report to the commander-in-chief?"

The young general gritted his teeth and said.

"Report? How to report? Just say that Zhenwu Guan and others are passively coping? But where is the evidence? Zhenwu Guan insists that this is their inner disciple, what can we do?"

Xiong Kaishan said: "That's all, even if you haven't developed strength, there are still hundreds of people. If something happens, they can still block it. At least the old Chihuo is not weak and has already reached the tenth level of strength."

He pondered slightly and said: "Don't show dissatisfaction with them in the past few days, entertain them as you should, and be more hospitable."

Several young generals around him could only nod helplessly.

···

Time passed.

The following days were uneventful.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Within ten days, Jiang Shi's strength increased again by 1,000 kilograms, reaching 5,100 kilograms. A slight movement has overwhelming power.

Now even he himself doesn't know what level of Jin he has reached.

The only thing that depressed him was that his body shape remained the same.

He is still skinny and has a small body.

"Damn it, is this all I have to do in my life?"

Jiang Shi frowned and looked at his fist.

This dry look is really ugly!

boom!

He punched a big tree, causing the whole tree to shake violently and almost break.

"Brother Jiang, have you eaten? I'm here to drink with you again!"

Suddenly, a burst of hearty laughter sounded from not far away.

Jiang Shi turned around and walked outside.

I saw a tall man with a beard on his face, holding a large jar of wine, walking towards Jiang Shi.

Surprisingly, there were Liu Si, Li San and others beside him.

"Boss, General Pan is here again!"

Liu Si shouted.

"General Pan is so kind."

Jiang Shi walked out of the courtyard and smiled.

"Hey, how many times have I told you that you are not a general? Just like you, I am just an inconspicuous soldier. Everyone is drunk now, no matter what."

The big man with the beard spoke boldly.

In addition to holding a large jar of wine, he also had several pheasants and a grilled fish hanging around his waist.

Liu Si, Li San and others were also carrying the hares they had just caught, with big smiles on their faces.

As the saying goes, rats have their own ways, and snakes have their own ways.

Liu Si, Li San and others were worthy of being rogues. When they first arrived, they relied on their own tricks to fawn over a Red Flame Army sergeant and quickly got into a fight with him.

The two sides kept getting more and more familiar with each other.

During the ten days, we spent seven or eight days drinking together, and while drinking, we became good friends who talked about everything.

As the boss of Liu Si, Li San and others, Jiang Shi is naturally indispensable every time he drinks.

As for this Red Flame Army sergeant, he also has a well-known name.

His name is Pan Feng!

"Brother Jiang, drink!"

Pan Feng filled Jiang Shi's drinks personally, then filled them for others and started drinking.

"Let's all have a drink together!"

Jiang Shi raised the wine bowl.

A group of people just gulped it down, then immediately tore off the chicken legs and rabbit legs and started gnawing wildly.

"By the way, General Pan, how is the battle on the front line now? It is said that the casualties are very serious, right?"

Liu Si asked while gnawing at the rabbit leg.

"Why."

Pan Feng sighed, put down the chicken legs, and said: "Who says it's not the case? The damn Red Scarf Army is getting bigger and bigger now. Not counting their own elite, the refugees alone have gathered 600,000. It's almost like It's like a torrent. How many people do we have in the Red Flame Army? Only a fucking hundred thousand people. This doesn't include those who died in this period. It is said that we have fought against the Red Scarf Army four times in ten days. At least there were casualties. More than 20,000 brothers!”

"More than 20,000 people?"

Liu Si and others were shocked.

"Yes, but there must be a lot of people who died on the Red Scarf Army side."

Pan Feng said, "But the biggest problem now is logistics. Huangzhou is rotten to the core. We are fighting desperately against the bandits on the front line, while the bandits and bandits behind are wreaking havoc and have been massacred in succession. Four small towns and two cities, countless people died."

"Damn, is it so serious?"

Jiang Shi frowned.

"Isn't that right? Damn it, maybe one day the bandit army will suddenly attack our iron mine, so let's take advantage of the fact that we are still alive, and hurry up and be happy. We can live one day at a time."

Pan Feng said.

"Didn't the imperial court send other reinforcements?"

Liu Si said in surprise.

"The imperial court? The imperial court is even worse. Which princes and nobles are not trying their best to make money? Besides, now that there are uprising armies all over Daxuan, the imperial court cannot cope with it at all. No matter how many elites the imperial court has, how many people are sent to various places? How much, forget it, I won’t tell you, let’s just keep drinking.”

Pan Feng said.
