"Little sister, are you really that amazing?" The Liu brothers, Si Ping and Ping An, looked on incredulously.
"Impressive, impressive! I knew you didn't need to worry about Miss, young masters!"
Wang Dani clapped and cheered, then walked over to Liu Sisi.
"Uncle, may I ask your name?" Liu Sisi asked.
“Fang Yan,” the furnace master replied.
"Good, Master Fang, you have passed the test. With your skill, you are more than capable of teaching a group of people who do not know martial arts."
"You can hire someone to watch over your shop. I'll pay you 20 taels of silver a month. How about that?" Liu Sisi said.
"I'll do whatever you say, but may I become your apprentice?" Fang Yan had witnessed Liu Sisi's skills and wanted to learn from her.
"No, I only asked you to come because I don't know how to teach others."
"When you're ready, go to the main store of Chen Si Food Workshop and find me. Tell the staff you're looking for Liu Sisi, and they'll let you know." Liu Sisi finished speaking and walked out.
"Okay, all done!"
Fang Yan agreed readily.
"Little sister, you're really amazing! How long would it take us to practice like you?" Liu Siping and Liu Si'an said, surrounding Liu Sisi.
"Third Brother and Fourth Brother, your secret manual is also very powerful. If you learn it quickly, you might not be able to catch up with me, but you'll definitely be far ahead of ordinary people."
“Alright, let’s go back and practice now,” Liu Siping said, taking her younger brother’s hand as they went back to their courtyard to practice.
When Liu Dashi returned, he had already received a message from the brokers saying that the 40 young men and women had been found and that they should go and check on them.
When the father and daughter arrived at the dental clinic, Liu Sisi glanced at the group of people and then looked at their teeth. She thought they were all qualified.
After paying the money, receiving the contract, and paying the taxes, Liu Sisi led them back.
Liu Sisi had already rented a training ground in advance, which included rooms for people to stay in.
First, we arranged for this group of people to be placed in the training ground and assigned them rooms. We also gave each person two sets of clothes and shoes.
Liu Sisi stood in front of them and spoke loudly.
"I bought you back to train you in martial arts and to create a group of people who meet my requirements."
"The process will definitely be tough. If anyone learns well, I will reward them. If you can't handle the hardship, you can step forward now, and I can arrange other things for you."
"We can endure hardship, and we are willing to follow Miss's lead."
At this moment, a tall, slender, dark-skinned girl stepped forward and spoke.
Others immediately echoed her words.
These people only sold themselves because they couldn't survive, so how could they dare to make demands on their masters?
"Okay, let's call your whole group Liu Kar-wai."
"Master Fang will come to teach you martial arts early tomorrow morning."
"I have only one request: no one is allowed to cause trouble, otherwise..."
Liu Sisi struck a large rock beside her with her palm, and the rock instantly shattered into pieces.
Everyone was shocked, never expecting that Liu Sisi, such a thin girl, would be so amazing.
“We understand, we’ll all listen to Miss,” someone in the crowd said, snapping out of their daze, and the others echoed him.
The next morning, Fang Yan arrived and immediately began rigorous physical training on the group of boys and girls.
Liu Sisi was very satisfied with his teaching methods, so she left everything to him without further questioning.
A few days later, Liu Sisi received a letter from Gu Lingchen.
The letter stated that Gu Lingchen absolutely trusted her, and also mentioned that the Jin-Liao Kingdom had issued a provocative letter, asking if Liu Sisi could go to the capital to discuss countermeasures against the Jin-Liao Kingdom with him.
Liu Sisi was very puzzled after reading the letter.
"What's going on? It started so early? That doesn't make sense!"
"Could the visions of the future be false?" Liu Sisi, unaware of the situation, decided to go to the capital to find out.
When Liu Dashi and Wu Shi returned from the shop, he told them about it.
"Father, Mother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, the situation with Young Master Gu has changed, and he wants me to go to the capital to discuss countermeasures."
"I may have to leave for a while."
"Then how will you go? Will you go by yourself?" Wu was worried again when she heard that her daughter was going on a long trip.
Young Master Gu will arrange a carriage to take me there, don't worry. I'll bring Wang Dani and Wang Erni, no need to bring anyone else.
She was worried that Wu wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't bring any of them; otherwise, she really wouldn't want to bring any of them at all.
Wang Dani and Wang Erni, who had just been learning martial arts for a few days, were overjoyed to hear that they were going to the capital with the young lady.
So the two left amidst the envious gasps of a group of young men and women.
Master Fang's teaching was very strict, which made these beginners in martial arts complain endlessly.
"This martial art is not something that ordinary people can learn. My bones are about to fall apart."
"It's so much more comfortable following Miss around every day!" Wang Dani exclaimed as she came out of the training ground.
“Yes, let’s go! Miss is leaving tomorrow, let’s hurry and pack our things.” The two sisters held hands and returned to the Liu family mansion.
Another day has passed.
The people sent by Emperor Yong'an have returned, and their report on the situation in the Jin-Liao Kingdom is basically the same as what Gu Lingchen said.
After consulting with the ministers.
Emperor Yong'an immediately wrote a reply to Emperor Guangsheng of the Jin-Liao Kingdom.
[To Emperor Guang Sheng]:
I have heard that Your Excellency is wise and powerful, and governs the country effectively; you are truly a hero of our time.
I've heard that Your Excellency enjoys betting. If I were willing to make a bet with Your Excellency, what would you say?
I am willing to wager ten thousand taels of gold with you. If I win, you must renew the peace treaty with our country; if you win, I will offer you all ten thousand taels of gold.
I look forward to your reply.
This is the only way now, and there is any hope of preserving the face and gold of the Tianlong Kingdom, so none of the ministers objected.
"What do you two princes believe I can bet on with that I have a good chance of winning?"
Emperor Yong'an looked at Gu Lingyun and Gu Lingchen and asked.
Gu Lingyun glanced at Gu Lingchen, her eyes full of disdain.
"Your Majesty, I believe that my second brother's method is time-consuming and laborious, and there is no guarantee of victory."
“It’s a complete waste of time. In my humble opinion, we should just offer ten thousand taels of gold and submit to the Jin-Liao Kingdom to ensure a lifetime of wealth and honor.”
After saying that, he tilted his head back and looked smugly at Gu Lingchen, as if he had said some profound truth.
"Nonsense! According to you, if I were to hand over this empire to you, wouldn't you be handing it over to someone else?"
Emperor Yong'an was so angry that he threw the cups in his hand away.
Upon seeing this, all the ministers knelt down in alarm, fearing that Emperor Yong'an would take his anger out on them.
"Your Majesty, we can decide based on the situation. It is likely that the Jin and Liao dynasties will send envoys over, and we can discuss it then," Gu Lingchen said.
