Chapter 36 Let’s go, let’s go find grandpa

Passing by the martial arts training ground, Su Qingtian saw Xiao Nan from a distance.

She was holding a wooden sword and sparring with a boy she had never seen before.

Ever since Su Qingtian got rid of the evil spirits in Xiao Nan's yard, the child's health has become stronger day by day.

It turns out that Old General Xiao also taught him simple martial arts, but he failed to persist due to his repeated physical condition.

Who would have thought that Xiao Nan would get up early every morning in the past few days, feeling full of energy, and from time to time he would bother his grandfather to take him to practice martial arts.

At this moment, I don’t know which little military boy I caught, accompanying me in the yard, demonstrating swordsmanship.

Su Qingtian was very lazy. She didn't even have a sword when she was in the upper realm, let alone compete with her junior brothers.

In her opinion, as long as the spell is strong enough, there is no need to spend time and energy on wielding a knife or a gun.

But now she saw two little kids making gestures, which immediately attracted her interest, and she ran towards the courtyard.

She sat down on the stone steps, holding her chin in her hands, and looked at the two people walking around with her big eyes.

Xiao Nan's swordsmanship is obviously immature, but it is not difficult to see that his basic skills are very solid and he should have practiced martial arts for more than a year.

In fact, Xiao Nan has been involved in martial arts for nearly two years, but he often misses practice due to the ups and downs of his body. However, this little kid practices very seriously every time he can, so his basic skills are also very solid.

The boy opposite and Xiao Nan were in completely different ways.

His swordsmanship is sharp and he can kill with every attack.

When facing Xiao Nan, he was a little deliberately arrogant.

Su Qing smiled sweetly.

Children just like to be polite.

"Clang!"

Xiao Nan didn't pay attention and was hit by the opponent's wooden sword on the back of his hand. The pain made him subconsciously let go and dropped his wooden sword.

Before I could pick it up, the boy kicked me in the butt from behind. I threw myself forward and stumbled.

When he stood up again, the sword in the young man's hand was pointed directly at his neck.

The victory has been decided.

The young man immediately sheathed his sword, bent down and helped Xiao Nan onto the stone bench beside him, while he respectfully stepped aside.

"Brother Lu."

Xiao Nan, who hadn't competed like this for a long time, felt distracted.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the other person excitedly and asked, "Has my swordsmanship improved?"

The young man Lu Wuming nodded and affirmed, "The young master's martial arts skills are indeed a little better now than last month, and the length of time he can control his breath has also increased."

Upon hearing the compliment, Xiao Nan's eyes suddenly brightened.

He tilted his head and saw his sweet sister sitting on the stone steps behind Lu Wuming, and his smile became even brighter.

"Sister Tiantian, when did you come?"

Xiao Nan got up and ran over, sitting next to Su Qingtian on the stone steps.

"I wanted to look for you in the morning, but the housekeeper said that there are guests in your courtyard and asked me not to disturb you."

There was a slight grievance in Xiao Nan's voice, but he was unwilling to tell his sweet sister that he had a bad temper with his housekeeper over this matter.

He is an older brother and cannot set a bad example for his younger sister.

"My guests have gone home, so I came to see you."

Su Qingtian initially thought that Xiao Nan was like those young disciples in the sect who had just arrived. When they were homesick, they would cry, even howl, and make a fuss.

Soon, she discovered that Xiao Nan was different from other children.

He always regarded himself as Su Qingtian's big brother, always thinking about her and letting her go, and showing her all the delicious and fun things as soon as possible.

It made Su Qingtian feel particularly comfortable, and she loved him in her heart.

"Brother Lu."

Xiao Nan thought of something, pointed at Su Qingtian beside her and said to Lu Wuming with a proud look on her face, "This is my sister, sweet sister, isn't she cute!"

There was no special expression on Lu Wuming's face. To be precise, he and Xiao Nan had a calm expression on their faces when they were competing.

The boy is actually a few years older than Xiao Nan, and only Xiao Nan can call him big brother.

I saw him walking towards the two of them steadily in the old city, clasping his fists and saluting.

"Wu Ming has met the young lady."

Seeing Su Qingtian looking at Lu Wuming with a blank expression, Xiao Nan explained aloud, "Brother Lu is the personal bodyguard assigned to me by my grandpa. He is amazing!

Su Qingtian was still staring blankly at Lu Wuming. Of course, this was the Su Qingtian in Xiao Nan's eyes.

In fact, she has been observing Lu Wuming. His whole body is emitting a faint white light, which means that this person's soul is pure and innocent.

Su Qingtian praised in her heart that her grandfather had really good vision. Not only did he choose a good bodyguard for Xiao Nan who was proficient in martial arts, but he also allowed the two of them to grow up together.

As the master and servant get along with each other over time, their relationship will become particularly deep. Naturally, the guard will not betray his master easily.

"Snapped!"

The stupid Xiao Nan suddenly slapped himself on the head, but the result was that the blow was not serious, and his forehead suddenly turned red.

While rubbing his flesh with a grin on his face, he stood up and pulled Su Qingtian up.

"Let's go find grandpa."

"What are you doing with grandpa?"

Looking at Xiao Nan's extremely excited face, Su Qingtian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Of course, let grandpa arrange a personal bodyguard for you as powerful as Brother Lu!"

Xiao Nan felt happy just thinking about it and continued, "As long as we have guards with strong martial arts to protect us, it will be easier for our sweet sister to travel in the future."

Um?

She didn't expect that this little kid's mind was quite lively. Su Qingtian naturally agreed to such a good thing.

She held up the hem of her skirt and ran faster than Xiao Nan, running straight out of the courtyard gate.

General Xiao, who was supposed to be in the military camp, was still in the study at this time, because Meng Fang, who had gone out to buy military rations, had returned, and the two were discussing the issue of future rations.

"How much food did you buy when you went out this time?"

Military rations were a top priority in military affairs and should have been assisted by officials appointed by the imperial court. However, the imperial court seemed to have forgotten about the Xiao family's army far away on the border and had been indifferent to such matters.

"not much."

Meng Fang frowned and shook his head with some loss of confidence.

"We visited Yuecheng, Xiaocheng and several surrounding towns, but no one dared to sell grain."

"There are a few merchants who have good business relationships with them before, but they only dare to send some over quietly and don't dare to sell them at all!"

"I have secretly investigated this matter. Everyone said that someone secretly said that they are not allowed to sell food to the Xiao family army. Once discovered, they will be killed without mercy!"

It can be said that this trip has yielded nothing. Meng Fang knows the food storage situation in the army. If they cannot buy food in a short time, the soldiers may live a life of hunger.

Meng Fang's face looked a little ugly, and he looked at Mr. Xiao with a deep look.

"The food in the army can only last until the end of next month. If we can't get enough food, I'm afraid..."

He must say this reminder.

General Xiao naturally knew what it meant to be unable to buy military rations, but this matter was no longer a simple matter of business transactions.

Although His Majesty exiled the Xiao family to Fengcheng due to the advice of the Imperial Master, he never took the initiative to cut off military pay.

But the grain and grass in the army must be purchased by themselves.

This gave those who wanted to kill the Xiao family an opportunity.

Restricting the purchase of military rations is only their first step.

The second step is the medicinal materials.
