One of the underlings couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xueqing, we've come this far, is there still a chance we'll encounter Prince Jing's army? I thought we were safe."

Lin Xueqing: "It's just a matter of taking precautions. When marching and fighting, you have to be careful in every aspect."

They fought wild beasts along the way, and their blades were worn out quite a bit. They really had to be careful as they traveled.

The junior leader got kicked by the senior leader.

The leader, a former soldier, believed Lin Xueqing's words without question.

Some people started to worry: "Is it safe for us to stay in that village?"

Lin Xueqing then said, "I know some mechanisms. Even if a thousand troops come, we won't be afraid in fifteen days. If it takes longer..."

The group looked at Lin Xueqing with even greater admiration.

These people were all fired up with excitement.

"Yes, we've seen the world, we're not afraid of those monsters and demons."

Come to think of it, they fought alongside Prince Jing all the way here, and now they're fighting Xie Hong. They definitely can't do it without some real skills.

Lin Xueqing said directly, "Don't be careless. I used to train soldiers under Gu Shao. Now that Gu Shao has been framed, Xie Hong has taken over. Xie Hong is an incompetent fool. Those soldiers were all trained by me, and they are all tough to fight."

The leaders were all filled with regret. Why hadn't they met Lin Xueqing first?

Otherwise, what role would these people play?

Although they regretted it, they didn't actually say it out loud, otherwise Lin Xueqing would have thought they had ulterior motives.

Lin Xueqing merely glanced at them.

He saw through their little schemes, but said nothing; he just felt even more contempt for them.
