As the sun rose, more than 10,000 soldiers in Lingxu Valley got up, folded their quilts, lined up, and ran around the valley.
They have been training for half a month. From being skinny and weak at the beginning, after half a month of training, after being well fed and clothed, the mental outlook of these farmers has been completely renewed, and the embryonic form of an army has gradually emerged.
Xihe nodded slightly, turned to look at Hu Shuidi, and said with approval: "Well done."
She had a lot to do, such as selecting the right people to go to the rebel army, Hejing and other places to gather information, and making changes based on the real-time situation. Naturally, it was impossible for her to come to the training in person, and she could only show up occasionally.
She handed the training over to the always serious Hu Shuidi, and it seems that the results are quite good.
Hu Shuidi still had that expressionless face and bowed, "Senior Sister, do you have any other instructions?"
Chen Yunzhuang, standing by, was filled with frustration. This idiot, even after being praised, couldn't he show some appreciation? Say a few more words?
She had a cold face and I might have thought she was unhappy with the order from the senior sister.
Xihe didn't care, and looked down and said, "From today on, the training will be more intense, and the food should be better as well."
The latter sentence was said to Chen Yunzhuang, as she was responsible for purchasing all these things.
Chen Yunzhuang immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will make sure everything is arranged. I will ensure that they are well fed and well clothed, and have enough strength for training. By then, they will definitely be more powerful than those soldiers of the imperial court..."
Suddenly he stopped, looked up at the senior sister, and saw her smiling at him.
Chen Yunzhuang panicked, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead: "Senior Sister, I, I..."
It was okay to speculate privately, but it was a brainless act to say it out loud in front of the senior sister, and now I was so nervous that I was swallowing my saliva.
Xihe smiled slightly: "Well, you have always done well, I believe you."
He turned around and headed down the mountain, "Let's go down and take a look."
Chen Yunzhuang breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and felt that he seemed to have become a little too proud of himself.
The eldest sister has never been clear about why she brought so many people in and what the purpose of the daily training is.
But no one ever asked any questions, they just did whatever they were told to do.
However, she smelled a different scent from these arrangements: the senior sister wanted to emulate Luo Cheng and others!
In recent years, uprisings have occurred in various places, some with only a hundred people. The most powerful ones are Luo Cheng, who occupies a large area in the southwest, and Cui Pingyang, the border governor, who has recently taken over.
Luo Cheng comes from a noble family, and those who rebelled on the border belong to the army...they come from the underworld.
When she first came to this conclusion, she was shocked and panicked. How dare Senior Sister!
But if you think about it carefully, why not?
Perhaps the former senior sister was a little worried that she was too weak and not the type to do such a big thing, but the current senior sister feels that whatever she wants to do is very possible.
In five years, the few shops that Piaomiao Sect had opened up like flowers all over the Ming Dynasty.
As a witness, she had to check the account books and business performance every quarter. No one knew better than her how much profit these shops and restaurants made, not to mention the casinos and brothels that operated secretly. The amount was enormous.
She was full of admiration for the senior sister at that time. There was only one person in the world who could do this!
"Cloud makeup."
The group stopped and turned to call her.
Shen Yunzhuang quickly adjusted her expression and stepped forward with a demure demeanor: "Senior Sister, I'll be right there."
Seeing that she had finally returned to normal, Xihe nodded secretly. For the past half month, Chen Yunzhuang had been inexplicably agitated, had lost her usual composure, and had become increasingly tactless in her words. After a small lesson today, she had indeed returned to normal.
However, she did not deliberately conceal the fact of establishing an army, but she just felt that the time was not right yet.
After personally watching this group of soldiers train for a whole morning, Xihe stopped talking and turned around to leave with Fang Qinglin.
Mounting his horse, Fang Qinglin asked, "Big Brother has news that a private coal mine has been found. Can we go and see it?"
Xihe clamped her legs against the horse's belly and said, "Go!"
——Xihe has been preparing for three full years.
However, the fact that Piaomiao Sect was supporting a large number of people was eventually discovered by other sects and the imperial court, and the imperial court immediately sent envoys.
Before Xihe could react, the other sect leaders were furious: What the hell is this Chu Shishi up to? Is she trying to kill them? Is the imperial court easy to mess with?
I want to find someone to teach this girl a lesson, but Master Jing'an disappeared after attacking the Demon Sect. She has been missing for eight years. No one knows where she is practicing in the mountains. Where can I find her?
Finally, they unanimously decided to go to Taichu Sect to ask the chief master to come out and scold this audacious girl!
After making up their minds, a group of sect leaders set out on horseback, accompanied by their disciples, and hurried to the Taichu Sect.
The control of every city and county along the way became stricter, the number of beggars wandering the streets increased, and the faces of the people became more miserable. Fortunately, they were from a martial arts sect, so they were treated better.
When he arrived at the foot of the Taichu Sect mountain, he waited for the disciples to report, then he climbed up the mountain gate in various graceful manners.
I thought Master Zong was in seclusion and I needed to wait a while, but unexpectedly Song Yurong said with a smile: "Master is meeting guests. If you masters don't mind, you can go together."
When the group of people walked into the hall, they were shocked by the woman sitting opposite Master Zong.
This person was wearing a simple and capable uniform with arrow sleeves. She had a slender figure, a calm temperament, and a smile on her lips. She was clearly a woman, but she had an aura that was hard to ignore.
How come this little girl has changed so much after not seeing her for a few years!
"Master Chu, why are you here?"
Several sect leaders reacted and immediately pointed at her.
Then he hurriedly complained to Grand Master Zong: "Grand Master Zong, you must control her. Piao Miao Sect has so many people, and the news has spread to the outside world. People who don't know would think that our martial arts world is challenging the imperial court!"
"Why not?"
Before Grand Master Zong could say anything, Xihe raised his eyes.
The Lingxiao Sect's leader was confronted and didn't react for a moment: "What did you say?"
Xi He smiled and looked at everyone: "After all, you are all leaders of the righteous path, well-known figures in the martial arts world, masters of a certain faction, and role models in the hearts of many young people in the martial arts world."
She praised everyone in a gentle manner, and immediately, the head sect leader who had been humiliated by her before couldn't help but straighten his chest and raise his chin, thinking that this young man had good vision.
"However."
Xihe changed the subject.
The leaders immediately pricked up their ears.
Xihe: "Now wars are raging everywhere, uprisings are endless, the imperial court is useless, and the people are forced to become homeless, without land to farm, without food to eat, and without a peaceful life. Why do you turn a blind eye?"
"Rob the rich to help the poor, uphold justice, and roam the world with a sword."
"To serve one's country and people is the greatest virtue of chivalry."
"Do you still remember your original intention when you first entered the martial arts world?"
These words left several sect leaders who were about to jump up and down speechless and bewildered.
Xihe curled his lips and bowed to Grand Master Zong: "Grand Master has promised me that my disciples can follow me to the battle to drive out the Tatars and punish the treacherous ministers. You have no intention of accompanying me, but please don't stop me."
"Otherwise, don't blame me, Master Chu, for offending the elders."
