6kv Chapter 76 Heaven
Chapter 76 Heaven
After the Yan King's army formation was broken, the two sides immediately engaged in a direct battle.
The troops of Dayong wanted to break through the camp.
The King of Yan led his troops to defend the area.
However, after about an hour of fighting on the first day, they called it a day and called it a day.
They did not launch another attack.
Because it was already dark, and both sides' soldiers were starving, especially Da Yong, who would be struggling as the attackers.
Since we've already saved face today, launching a large-scale attack tomorrow won't make a difference.
When Lu Yuan dragged his battle sword back to the camp, many people looked at him differently.
In the past, in everyone's preconceived notion, he was just a brave soldier who carried out small-scale raids.
So now, he has the qualifications to become a general.
Moreover, no matter what, no one had ever witnessed Lu Yuan's performance on the battlefield before, but now it was different; he displayed astonishing combat power in front of everyone.
He also has the ability to lead troops.
In particular, Marquis Jiu Sai was increasingly satisfied with it.
Although he failed to breach the camp in today's battle, it was within his expectations. A battle of this scale could not possibly end in a day.
If we can turn the tide and boost the morale of the Dayong warriors, our objective will be achieved.
Therefore, the first thing he did upon returning to camp was to shout, "Men, prepare a banquet! Today I want to personally drink with our meritorious heroes!"
After he finished speaking...
Naturally, some people responded and left.
Zhao Yu and the others following behind had long faces.
Lu Yuan, who was pulled to the side of Marquis Jiu Sai, quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency."
"Haha, you've done a great job, so naturally you should be rewarded."
Then, she pulled Lu Yuan towards her own tent. Seeing this, Zhou Hongling's eyes showed worry.
She was genuinely afraid that the Marquis of Jiu Sai would snatch her away.
Then, everyone entered the tent in an orderly fashion, where food and wine were served.
Zhao Yu was the first to speak, saying, "Today, thanks to Your Excellency's strategic planning, we would like to offer you a toast."
He raised his glass as he spoke.
He didn't want Lu Yuan to be the only one to stand out.
Since I can't steal the credit myself anyway, I might as well pin it on Marquis Jiu Sai.
At this moment, Zhou Hongling naturally saw through the other party's thoughts, but since Hongcheng was involved, she couldn't say much and could only drink the wine in one gulp.
After the wine glass was set down.
Marquis Jiu Sai waved his hand and said, "The real hero today is Lu Yuan, not me. If you want to offer a toast, please toast him first."
After saying that, he raised his glass first.
Zhao Yu and the others had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
Drink the wine in your glass completely.
Then, Marquis Jiu Sai continued, "Today, Lu Yuan deserves the greatest credit for defeating the Prince of Yan's army. He will be awarded 1,000 military merits, and the remaining soldiers and officers will each receive 50."
The words fell.
Lu Yuan was about to get up, but was stopped by Jiu Sai Hou: "Today is a celebration for your victory, don't be reserved, you are the main character."
Such a scene even made the young noblemen from the capital's military families envious.
Thousands of merits are not a small number for them.
Lu Yuan was also quite excited, as his merits were now approaching five thousand.
Now, regardless of anything else, as long as my cultivation level breaks through, I can become a captain when I return.
During the ensuing banquet, thanks to the support of Marquis Jiu Sai, no one dared to make things difficult for Lu Yuan.
But Zhao Yu and his group harbored a great deal of resentment.
The feud between the two sides has now been established.
However, Lu Yuan didn't take these things to heart. He was at the border, and they would return to the capital after the battle.
By then, they won't be able to reach you from a distance, and you won't be able to target yourself.
After finishing his meal, Lu Yuan headed straight for the Merit Camp.
I'm preparing to exchange for some pills; my strength has now reached the Liver Refinement stage.
The elixirs one takes must naturally be changed.
As soon as he entered the merit camp, the quartermaster walked over with a smile: "Congratulations, Lord Lu, on your new achievement!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand: "We're all serving the court. I've come to buy some elixirs."
"Alright, there are plenty in the tents, please choose whatever you like," the quartermaster said quickly.
When Lu Yuan stepped inside, he saw a lot of pills on display.
"What kinds of pills are used to refine the liver?" he asked softly.
Although I've seen quite a few, I don't know their specific effects.
It's better to have someone introduce it to you.
The quartermaster, not minding the trouble, quickly said, "Sir, this row is full of liver-refining pills, but the most effective one is the Green Wood Pill."
It is the best cultivation resource for the liver refining stage, but few people in our army use it. Only a few family heads of generals will exchange some for their children.
The Marquis's son also took this elixir.
The price is a bit high, but the results are excellent.
In the past, the quartermaster would never have recommended this kind of pill to Lu Yuan, since not many people could afford it; it was actually intended for the military families of the border troops.
But now, in his view, Lu Yuan is absolutely qualified. He may not know how much silver Lu Yuan has, but he has a lot of military merits.
"What's the price?" Lu Yuan nodded and asked.
Now that his cultivation level is high enough, his rank can be promoted, so he naturally won't be stingy with pills. Moreover, not to mention merit points, he has quite a bit of silver in his hands now.
"One thousand two hundred taels of silver per bottle."
"Give me ten bottles." As Lu Yuan spoke, he handed over twelve thousand taels of silver notes to the quartermaster.
"Okay."
After the other party responded, he took out a box and put all the pills into it.
Lu Yuan, carrying the medicine box, walked straight into his tent.
Only after stepping inside.
He ordered the guards that no one was to enter without his permission.
Then, he opened a medicine bottle, took out a pill, and put it in his mouth.
This elixir is said to melt instantly upon entering the mouth.
In a short while, a delicate fragrance filled the tent and then traveled towards the liver.
He mastered the "Tiger-Taming Stake" technique to its fullest extent.
His muscles were bulging all over his body.
A large amount of impurities in the body are expelled through the pores.
An unprecedented feeling of clarity emanated from within my body.
The night passed in the blink of an eye.
When Lu Yuan woke up the next day, a smile appeared on his face.
[Third-grade martial arts technique "Tiger Subduing Stance" for liver refinement (1471/1000 Minor Success, breakthrough possible?)]
"This pill is indeed very effective; it's almost ready to reach its full potential in just one night."
Then he chose to break through.
Then, a force emanated from within his body.
It's much better than before.
[Third-grade martial arts technique "Tiger Subduing Stance" for liver refinement (471/10000 Great Success)]
Looking at the panel, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Judging from the limit of his pill consumption, he can increase his proficiency by about a thousand points in one night, and it will take about ten days to reach perfection.
It won't be long before we can break through again.
“Wuwu!”
Outside the tent, a bugle sounded, and Lu Yuan dared not delay, so he got up and walked outside.
This is a signal that the army is assembling.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw that Zhou Hongling had also come out of the tent and was looking in his direction. After noticing Lu Yuan come out, she nodded and headed towards the commander's flag.
Lu Yuan knew that another battle was about to begin.
The attack on the camp continued for the next period of time.
However, this King of Yan was clearly skilled at defense.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed, but the camp still had not been breached.
However, during this period, Lu Yuan made a fortune and his skill level increased at an extremely rapid pace.
