Chapter 200: I am so happy to see you again after a long separation, but I am also so scared that I am sweating
"Big brother!"
"Brother Dingguo!"
Before the treasure ship docked, Xiao Douya and Hongmei saw a familiar figure standing on the pier. They were so happy that they both flew down from the treasure ship and landed precisely in front of Li Dingguo.
"Xiao Douya, Hongmei, I'm glad you're back!"
"It looks like both of you have grown taller than you did a few months ago, and your temperament has changed a bit as well."
Li Dingguo came specially this evening to greet the two maids.
I felt relieved to see them return safely.
Li Dingguo was somewhat worried about letting these two girls lead a large army to fight outside for the first time.
Fortunately, they lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully completed this round of cleaning tasks. The various spoils they harvested were countless and huge.
In particular, it obtained a large population that the Fuxing Army currently lacks the most: more than 600,000 Han compatriots!
These Han compatriots rescued on the prairie were one of the scarcest sources of soldiers that the Fuxing Army lacked.
In addition to these people, there are two other types of people who are also identified by Li Dingguo as the best sources of reserve troops: refugees from Liaodong and miners from various places.
The reason why Li Dingguo valued these Han compatriots who were rescued from the prairie outside the Great Wall so much was, on the one hand, because they were able to survive until now, and they were the ones who had survived the test of time and had very good physical foundation.
Those with poor health would have been tortured to death by the Tartars long ago.
On the other hand, it was because they had all suffered humiliation and had an irreconcilable blood hatred towards the Tartars in their hearts.
Once these people have the opportunity for revenge, the potential that emerges is astonishing.
Among the many soldiers of the current Fuxing Army, a large number of them are Han compatriots who have been rescued over this period of time.
They fought against the Tartars with great decisiveness and ruthlessness. The murderous aura they exuded when killing the enemies made people feel cold all over.
"Let's go home."
Looking at the two girls who were grinning and even forgot to speak, Li Dingguo couldn't help but smile and said, "I've been busy all afternoon today and have prepared a sumptuous meal, waiting for you to come back and eat."
Today, dozens of pairs of spiritual pigeons have been bred, and nearly half of them can be used for real-time communication.
Li Dingguo learned about Xiao Douya and Hongmei's return itinerary in time, and went to the kitchen to prepare a big meal this afternoon.
"Really?"
"That's great! Brother Dingguo, your cooking skills are the best in the Renaissance Army!"
Xiao Douya and Hongmei were so happy when they heard it that they jumped up from the ground together!
Especially Xiao Douya, holding Li Dingguo's hand, flew quickly towards the center of this spiritual island!
……
"Are these the three foals?"
"They have grown so big so quickly? Am I dreaming?"...
The next morning, after having a good rest and breakfast, Xiao Douya could not wait to go with Li Dingguo and Hongmei to the area covered by the small spirit gathering formation, and saw three extremely majestic horses wandering there.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the three ponies at home.
Neither she nor Hongmei had expected that they had grown so big after just a few months of not seeing each other!
How can this be called a pony?
It looks about the same as those adult war horses.
“Wheeze…”
Three foals... no, three big horses saw Li Dingguo, Xiao Douya and Hongmei coming, and they ran up to the three of them, neighing excitedly, and even rubbed their big heads towards their respective owners to show their closeness.
The big black horse among them was the mount chosen by Li Dingguo.
The other two snow-white top-quality dragon-scale horses belonged to Xiao Douya and Hongmei, one each.
"Hey……"
Li Dingguo looked at the three top-grade dragon-scale horses and sighed with mixed feelings. He said to Xiao Douya and Hongmei with a smile on his face, "They have undergone a miraculous mutation this time. There is a reason why they are growing so fast."
"Wasn't I busy refining medicine and weapons a while ago? These three guys, no one is watching over them, they just roam around the island and have fun every day."
"Two months ago, I wasn't paying attention, and these three guys somehow slipped into this spirit gathering formation in front of me."
"As a result, they stayed in there for a day and a night, and absorbed all the special life energy that was emitted by the mysterious five-colored spiritual root sapling and accumulated for nearly two months!"
"Since then, the three of them have experienced a rapid bloodline upgrade and mutation, and their growth and development speed has become extremely fast!"
"It's only been two months, and their current size is not much different from that of an adult dragon-scale horse. Moreover, they are more majestic and intelligent than dragon-scale horses of the same level!"
"I estimate that in two or three months, these three big guys will be able to be ridden as war horses and fight the enemy on the battlefield with the three of us!"
"Even though they haven't really grown up yet, they have already broken through to the fourth level of spiritual beasts. It's not the early stage, but the middle stage!"
This sudden situation really made Li Dingguo laugh and cry.
On the one hand, he was happy that these three top-grade dragon-scale horses had grown up so fast and their breakthroughs were beyond imagination. On the other hand, he felt a little sorry for the large amount of mysterious life energy that had been absorbed by them.
You should know that the miraculous spiritual root seedling began to grow rapidly in the past few months, and gathered a new spiritual vein of unknown grade under its roots.
In less than a month since its mutation began, the special life energy emitted by this mysterious spiritual root seedling every day has increased more than tenfold in both concentration and quantity!
This is the case when the spiritual vein gathered by this mysterious spiritual root seedling has not yet been formally generated.
Once that new spiritual vein of unknown grade is officially generated, the growth rate of this mysterious five-colored spiritual root seedling and the special life aura it emits are expected to experience another round of rapid growth!
It is conceivable that after the special life energy that had been accumulated for two months was completely absorbed by the three foals, they gained magical blood upgrades and mutations, and their growth rate increased dramatically, which was also reasonable.
"But it's okay."
Li Dingguo looked at the two girls who were dumbfounded and continued, "Two months ago, I learned a five-element protection array. I set it up around this small enhanced five-element spirit gathering array to firmly protect this area."
"Look at the expressions of these three dragon-scale horses now. You can tell that they have tasted the sweetness of this place once and can't forget it. They often wander around this area and won't leave."
"I guess these three guys are thinking all day long about how to sneak in again and continue to absorb that special life energy."
"Now, the five-colored spiritual root in this magic circle has accumulated two months of special life energy again, which is enough for the three of us to practice in seclusion again."
"Over the past few months, the growth rate of this mysterious five-colored spiritual root has continued to increase dramatically, and the special life energy it emits is increasing."
"The special life energy in this five-element formation has almost filled the area covered by the formation, almost liquefied!"
"I sent a message to Xiao Douya a few days ago, asking Da Huang and Xiao Huang to come back. With the help of the special and rich life energy here, I helped these two big guys to successfully break through to the early stage of the fourth-level spirit beast."
"Even so, the special life energy absorbed by Da Huang and Xiao Huang this time is less than 10% of the accumulated energy!"
He looked at the two girls who were shocked by his words and continued, "In this area covered by the formation, the special life energy has now reached an astonishing level."
"I have sent Da Huang and Xiao Huang out these days to assist the Minister of Internal Affairs Chang Liyun in searching for spies everywhere so as to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of our army."
"After they were promoted to level 4 spirit beasts, their bloodlines underwent a mutation and upgrade. Their perception and sense of smell for danger have increased by at least ten times, making them much stronger than before."
"Any enemy with even a hint of ill will cannot hide within a ten-foot radius of them!"
"In just three days, these two top-grade spirit dogs, Da Huang and Xiao Huang, have helped the Ministry of Internal Affairs find no less than ten deeply hidden spies from all sides!"
"Three of them are actually generals of our Renaissance Army!"
At this point, Li Dingguo's tone was cold, and murderous aura involuntarily emerged from his body.
He also could not have imagined that even though the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had conducted repeated joint operations over the past six months and secretly screened all military and civilians, there were still so many hidden spies from the enemies from all sides.
These spies were very sophisticated in their methods, and most of them had mastered the art of concealment and breath-holding, which allowed them to evade numerous screenings without being exposed.
If Da Huang and Xiao Huang had not successfully broken through to the fourth-level spirit beast and awakened their divine consciousness and related innate magical powers, they would have been impossible to find!
The spy who was hiding the deepest had been rapidly promoted in the Fuxing Army because of his outstanding military exploits. Recently, he was promoted to the position of deputy commander of a combat battalion of the White Tiger Legion because of his great contributions!
Even Li Dingguo was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat after receiving the report from Minister of Internal Affairs Chang Liyun!
After rigorous interrogation, they found out that this spy, who had already reached the middle third level of martial arts, was actually the leader of the family guards sent by the Kang family, the richest family in Shanxi.
If he is not caught in time, one can imagine how serious losses this spy, who holds a high position in the Renaissance Army, will bring to the Renaissance Army in the future!
The consequences of that...
Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle!
However, the other party could never have imagined that among the Renaissance Army, there would be two top-grade spirit dogs that broke through to the fourth-level spirit beast. Moreover, with the help of the five-colored mysterious spirit roots, they obtained a blood upgrade mutation, and their perception increased by more than ten times.
This is the real reason why the other party stumbled.
"very good!"
After listening to what Li Dingguo said, Hongmei felt a chill all over her body and beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
After a while, she calmed down and said grimly, "Kang family, right?"
"When our plan is implemented, we will first attack the Fan and Kang families of the Shanxi merchants!"
"When the time comes, they will definitely regret it! They actually invested so much money and sent out such a core person to plot against us!"
This girl seldom gets angry and has a very good character.
But if she really gets angry, she's scarier than anyone else.
"Hum..."
Xiao Douya clenched his fists and waved them towards the sky a few times, saying viciously, "Sister Hongmei, when the time comes, the three of us will personally take action and make them pay an unbearable price!"
"I have my Lei Gu Weng Jin Chui ready. I will smash them all one by one and make them regret it!"
The atmosphere at the scene was depressing for a while, and after a while, the three people regained their composure.
"Duh!"
Li Dingguo made two mysterious seals towards the area in front of him which was covered by the double magic formation. Two streams of five-colored light came out from his palms and sank into the light shield of the formation. Suddenly, a portal formed by five-colored light appeared.
The three of them then flashed in, and the formation portal that was flashing with five-colored light disappeared in an instant.
“Wheeze…”
Only three top-quality dragon-scale horses were left there, neighing anxiously but unable to get in.
In desperation, they simply lay on the ground, waiting for Li Dingguo and the other three to come out.
