After Tang Xiao wandered around Huwei Village, he returned to the Tang Mansion. Mu Cang stayed in Huwei Village for several days and handed over the household registration of more than a hundred fishermen to his name for Tang Xiao, and all kinds of land deeds of farmland were converted into Tang Xiao's name.

After granting the baron, Tang Xiao had his own fiefdom and had 100 households to rely on. Although it was just a small village, after raising enough funds, he could build a separate residence in Taijing City. However, he did not do that. What he was most interested in now was to continue to sacrifice and refine his magic weapons.

During the battle with Zhou Qiao, Zhou Qiao's snake demon sprayed a mouthful of poisonous gas, and the other three steel soldiers were corroded, but the initially strengthened deep-sea cold iron skeleton was not corroded, which once again proved the strength of deep-sea cold iron. Therefore, letting the four steel soldiers be reborn as soon as possible, injecting more and more deep-sea cold iron into their bodies, and replacing their original refined iron can greatly enhance their combat effectiveness.

...

Unlike Tang Xiao who received great rewards from the Human Emperor, Lan King, Fang Ji, Cai Heng and others were punished, Lan King was fine. The official title and salary were cut off from the third level, and he still led the fief of Yilan City to watch the future. Fang Ji was a little miserable and was removed from the position of commander of the Imperial Guard and sent to the desolate land of the Central Mountains to guard.

At the farewell banquet between Tang Xiao and his party and Fang Ji, Fang Ji did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he said that when he went to the Central Mountains, he could often go deep into the mountains to fight monsters and suppress the wild native rebels in the southern part of the country. These things were just right for him, and he had been so tired of being in Taijing. Tang Xiao saw the wild desire in Fang Ji's eyes and knew that the uncomfortable life in the wild might be his life ideal, so he didn't say anything to comfort him. He just drank and talked with him, and made an appointment with him to visit him in the Central Mountains if he had the chance in the future, and went to the deep mountains to hunt down demons and monsters.

At the banquet to bid farewell to Fang Ji, the Seventh Prince reminded Tang Xiao about his marriage with King Lan. If the Seventh Prince did not mention it, Tang Xiao would have forgotten about this. On the way back to the capital of Taijing, King Lan was still very proud of his face. Tang Xiao could not be unrighteous to King Lan. So after returning to the Tang Mansion, Tang Xiao went to find Mrs. Xingdu and briefly told Mrs. Xingdu.

After learning that King Lan had agreed to this marriage, Mrs. Xingdu would certainly not ruin her son's good deeds, so she asked someone to report to Tang Yuan in Taoyuan City. At the same time, she went down to Yilan City with Tang Xiao in advance and sent the betrothal gift to Prince Lan's Mansion, which was a complete conclusion.

Although Tang Yuan did not come in person, Mrs. Xingdu came in person and gave him a lot of betrothal gifts. King Lan was already very satisfied. When Mrs. Xingdu returned to Taijing, King Lan personally sent the snow-capped mountains. In addition to the Princess Yilan who were traveling with him, the two families seemed to have been close to the same family. King Lan even asked several times to confirm Tang Xiao’s 16th birthday, hoping to marry Princess Yilan into the Tang Mansion as soon as possible.

...

Half a month later, the formation nodes condensed on the five fingers of Tang Xiao’s right hand palm, and finally formed the first "demon-refining big handprint" in his life. After experimenting with the effect, he easily uprooted a large tree surrounded by several people by the Sun and Moon Lake, and the trunk was crushed!

The power of this big handprint shocked Tang Xiao himself, and this experiment failed to fully test the true power and effect of the "Demon Refining Big Handprint". However, he knew roughly how to control the big handprint to attack, so the method was so simple that it could be just grabbing it.

...

Another half month has passed, and it has been a month since I returned from the military training ground gang Fang Fishing Port. The weather has become warmer. All the beauties in the capital of Taijing have changed into thin clothes and beautiful skirts, making the entire capital of Taijing become colorful. Tang Xiao has also completely completed the "reincarnation" of the four steel soldiers, completely replacing their bones and the steel knives in their hands with deep sea cold iron, greatly improving their combat strength to a higher level.

This month is the tenth month that Tang Xiao has entered this world. In this month, Tang Xiao also ushered in his sixteenth birthday in this life. According to the laws and regulations of the Daming Dynasty, 16 years old is adults and can marry after adulthood.

In addition, men who become adults from princes and noble families must serve at least two years of military service between the ages of sixteen and twenty during peacetime. If there is no special situation, they must report to the Ministry of War within ten days after the age of sixteen. Special reasons are reported to the Ministry of War for special reasons, otherwise they must officially start military service from the second month of the age of sixteen. Tang Xiao is not in conflict with this. He can grow faster in the army, and only by making military contributions can he have the opportunity to improve his title and be granted a marquis as soon as possible.

On the second day after the age of sixteen, Tang Xiao went to the Ministry of War to report to the specific place to serve in the military. The Ministry of War will issue a notice in a month.

After returning from the Ministry of War, Mu Cang wanted to take Tang Xiao to a place. Tang Yuan, the Marquis of Zhenguo, asked Mu Cang to take him there. Tang Xiao didn't ask much, and followed Mu Cang to Yangming Mountain. In this life, he had never seen Tang Yuan. I don't know why this father kept hiding from him. Although Tang Xiao was very curious about this, he would not take the initiative to ask anything.

This time, Mu Cang still did not take Tang Xiaolou to Fengxiao Tower to meet Tang Yuan, but walked around a path between Yangming Mountain. After walking in the path for a while, the two of them came to a cave and walked in the cave for more than ten minutes. Mu Cang took Tang Xiao into a cave room. Several shirtless men were already waiting there. After Mu Cang brought Tang Xiao, the few people just asked Mu Cang: "Can you go down?"

Mu Cang also replied to them simply: "Go down."

Several shirtless men jumped into a circular cave on the ground of the cave. Tang Xiao followed Mu Cang to the entrance of the cave and looked down. The cave was very deep, as if it was more than ten feet high. Only some fire could be vaguely seen from the very distant underground.

"Young Master now has the energy condensed and transformed into an eagle, so it should be fine to fly down directly, right?" Mu Cang looked at Tang Xiao and smiled.

Tang Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled, but did not condense the energy and transform into the eagle. His body tilted and fell directly into the hole.

"Young Master!" Mu Cang was frightened when he saw Tang Xiaocheng falling into the cave freely, and quickly jumped down.

Seeing Tang Xiao drifting around and watching freely, Mu Cang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the young master had found the flying magic weapon himself and didn't even need to condense the gas and transform the celestial. He was too worried just now. Soon Tang Xiao and Mu Cang fell to the bottom of the cave. It felt much hotter here than above. Several shirtless and strong men were already waiting there. Seeing Tang Xiao and Mu Cang come down, they didn't say much and continued to move towards the cave ahead.

The cave has been going down, with a steep slope, and the temperature is higher as it goes down. However, for Tang Xiao now, he drove the flying magic weapon to sweep the ground, just like walking on flat ground. Seeing that Tang Xiao is so calm, several shirtless men couldn't help but feel a little nervous about the young master's martial arts cultivation progress in the past year.

"The young master is sixteen years old and has already reported to the Ministry of War. The marquis said that before the young master joins the army, he asked the young master to make a set of armor by himself. The armor made of Shenming iron with more than a hundred refinings is spiritual. You must personally experience and do everything from iron smelting to making a good armor that suits the heart." Mu Cang finally explained the purpose of this trip to Tang Xiao.

"Well, I've long wanted to have my own set of armor." Tang Xiao nodded, and when Mu Cang led him to the cave, he felt that the earth fire was getting hotter and hotter, he had already guessed the purpose of the trip.

The group kept moving forward with all their might. Mu Cang originally thought that Tang Xiao needed him to hold him to keep up with everyone's footsteps, but he didn't expect that Tang Xiao must suppress the speed so that Mu Cang and others could not catch up with him.

Everyone didn't speak all the way, but just flew all the way. The cave was winding, sometimes wide, sometimes narrow. This was not the first time that everyone else had been flying here, so they seemed extremely skilled in turning around the corners. But Tang Xiao came here for the first time and followed the team, and there was no sign of any strangeness at all.
