The next morning, Wang Wu got up early. He knew that after Ning Ye handed over power to him, he should urge these people to do what Ning Ye had said.
As dawn broke, he dragged everyone out of bed. Although he had no experience leading troops, he knew all too well how he had been trained by others before. Since they didn't want to get out of bed, he could only do his best to help them.
Wang Wu managed to get this group of people out of bed with almost no effort. After they lined up loosely, they prepared to start their morning run.
"Wow, you guys are actually quite self-disciplined. Good, that saves me from saying anything more. But this team is really too lazy."
Ning Ye, dressed in clean clothes, walked over slowly, which surprised everyone. Could it be that Ning Ye was going to train with them?
In order to make these people remember how they should stand, Ning Ye reluctantly went up and kicked them a few times, making them stand properly.
Seeing that the team was taking shape, Ning Ye stood at the front and said, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who just talks big. I will do what I ask you to do. If anyone can't even compare to me, then they should ask themselves if they should throw away their old face."
Ning Ye led the race from the front, and no one behind him dared to slack off. The faster Ning Ye ran, the faster they had to run. But they soon realized that their physical abilities were not quite up to par with Ning Ye's.
After running these three laps, many people were out of breath and didn't even have the strength to stand up. After all, they had been struggling to make ends meet and their bodies had been almost completely worn out.
Unfortunately, Ning Ye wouldn't give them any chance to catch their breath. After a short rest, other training sessions followed one after another.
This scene immediately attracted the attention of many villagers, as they had never seen anything like it before.
When Ning Silang got up and arrived, Ning Ye showed no mercy and made Ning Silang join the training as well.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. Many things cannot be rushed, but time waits for no one.
Two weeks later, Ning Ye saw the advisor again for the first time.
Xu Sanguan sipped his tea arrogantly. "Ning boy, you've been holed up in the village for half a month now. Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd run away. Aren't you going to deal with those bandits?"
Ning Ye chuckled and said, "Hey, sir, isn't that why you're in such a hurry? I'm just about to take action against these bandits, and I'll definitely be able to give you a satisfactory result in the next couple of days."
Xu Sanguan raised an eyebrow. "Young Ning, although I'm here to urge you, I'm just letting you know. There's no need to rush. Are you confident?"
"Please rest assured, sir. I never do anything without a certainty. Please wait for my good news with Lord Wang."
Xu Sanguan was slightly surprised. He had only come to remind Ning Ye not to forget his own affairs, but he didn't expect that the kid was actually going to make a move.
Regardless, his master still had some goodwill towards Ning Ye, so Xu Sanguan could only remind him, "This group of people slaughtered a landlord a few days ago, so they are not to be trifled with. Don't be hasty."
"I've heard the news too. It's precisely because these people have succeeded one after another that they've become arrogant and complacent. As the saying goes, pride comes before a fall, and now is a good time to strike."
Seeing Ning Ye's confident assertion, Xu Sanguan was too lazy to persuade him any further. If this guy really suffered a setback, at most he would only lose some money and food. It would also make his master realize that this was just a useless kid.
After putting down the tea, Xu Sanguan got up and took his leave, and Ning Ye didn't seem to care as he watched him leave.
Because he was really planning to take action in the next couple of days. After half a month of training, the group of refugees could not be considered qualified soldiers, but they were still usable for now.
Of course, to do this, there is another very important starting point to use.
Ning Ye immediately went to find his fourth uncle, since Ning Silang had been guarding Hu Erbiao ever since Hu Erbiao was captured.
After explaining what he wanted to do, Ning Shilang assured everyone that he would definitely not cause any problems.
After nightfall, Hu Erbiao, who had been captured for more than half a month, was imprisoned in a cellar of Ning Silang's house, and his body was tightly bound.
When Ning Silang, who had come to freeload a meal today, entered the cellar, he heard Hu Erbiao cursing loudly.
Hu Erbiao would curse like this almost every time he came to deliver food, and Ning Silang was completely immune to it. He would put the prepared food on the table and then prepare to untie him.
But just as he was halfway through solving the mystery, someone outside the cellar suddenly called out to Ning Silang, so Ning Silang had no choice but to go out cursing.
This situation made Hu Erbiao realize that he had a chance to escape. The rope, which was half untied, had loosened, and after some effort, he finally broke free completely.
For the past two weeks, the cellar had been a living hell; it was unbearable for a human being. If he stayed any longer without doing anything, he would probably go insane.
Hu Erbiao cautiously peeked out and heard a loud commotion; it seemed like they were arguing.
After confirming that no one was around, Hu Erbiao jumped over the wall and ran away from Qingyuan Village without looking back.
At this moment, Hu Erbiao had only one thought in his mind: he had to find his boss immediately and make that Ning kid pay a bloody price, otherwise he would not be able to quell his hatred.
When a person loses their mind, many irrational things will be overlooked. Hu Erbiao didn't even notice that a group of people were hanging not far behind him.
It's time to put this good-for-nothing to good use after raising him for so long. As long as we follow Hu Erbiao to find the enemy's lair, our numerical advantage will be greatly reduced under the cover of darkness.
This was the best option Ning Ye could think of, since these people were not seasoned veterans, but just a bunch of greenhorns, and the kind that weren't properly trained.
It's impossible for a hundred bandits to be wiped out in one go, but he has to produce some results tonight, otherwise this trip will have been in vain.
The not-so-bright moon illuminated the path beneath their feet, and Ning Ye was able to accurately distinguish Hu Erbiao's footprints from the messy footprints on the ground.
