Chapter 489: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor 100
With a clang, the Third Master shouted, "Miss Ji wins! Xiangyu, stop fighting. The result will be the same if you continue fighting. You will be the one who will be embarrassed."
Hong Xiangyu bit her lips tightly, lowered her head and said nothing. She was afraid that if she spoke, it would reveal the fact that she was crying. She didn't want Ji Yunhuan to laugh at her!
She thought she was at least stronger than Ji Yunhuan, and she thought she would definitely win, but reality gave her a loud slap in the face. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she felt that all her pride and dignity were shattered.
Ji Yunhuan is so annoying!
Ji Yunhuan took back the sword and handed it to the third in command next to him. There was complete silence in the arena. They were well aware of Hong Xiangyu's abilities. Although she was not a martial arts genius, she was taught by Gang Leader Hong himself. They did not dare to guarantee that they would win every time.
And Ji Yunhuan did it. This seemingly frail girl was actually quite good at fighting.
Ji Yunhuan got the musket. It looked a little old, but it was wiped very clean and was small in shape, fitting perfectly in his hand.
Ji Yunhuan was surprised and said, "It can actually fire continuously? Grandpa Wang is really capable. It seems that the pig iron and gunpowder have come in handy."
The Third Master said cheerfully, "It's just a trifle. This thing is difficult to make. It takes a long time to fiddle with it before it can be fired. When we really get to the battlefield, we don't have time to reload the ammunition. Even if it can fire three times in a row, it's not very useful."
"If there is an explosion, even if the enemy is not killed, a large number of our own people will be blown down. It is not as useful as a big knife. Miss Ji, be careful and don't hurt yourself."
Ji Yunhuan looked at the musket over and over again, his heart pounding. This thing is indeed not easy to use now, but with time, he would be able to develop a better musket.
The war horses of Jin were far inferior to those of Rongdi. My father had once seized war horses from Rongdi, but those horses could not be bred. If one was used, there would be one less. Their soldiers suffered a great disadvantage on the battlefield in the northern border.
If we could equip it with muskets, it would be much easier to recover the six northern states.
Ji Yunhuan put the musket on his waist and said with a smile: "Grandpa Wang is too modest. I believe that Grandpa Wang can do it. If you need people or things, just come to me. Don't be polite."
The third in command agreed with a smile. He took out the musket as a prize, just to get Ji Yunhuan to support him.
Ji Yunhuan looked around and said loudly, "From now on, the Phoenix Team will be under my charge. Those who are good at martial arts don't need to come. Our Phoenix Team doesn't compete in fighting. As long as you have your own strengths, even if you can cook, do carpentry, or do accounting, the Phoenix Team will accept anyone."
"After the assessment, each person will be ranked according to their ability, and will receive monthly salary. If you want to join the Phoenix Team, go find Zhang Mazi to register."
As soon as these words were spoken, the bandits below became excited.
Not every bandit has practiced martial arts since childhood. Many of them are from ordinary farmers who became bandits because they could not survive. They just have a lot of strength but no advanced martial arts skills.
"I can forge iron! I can help the Third Master make a musket!"
"I'm a carpenter, and I can also do wood carving. Can I join the Phoenix Team?"
"I know how to farm! The land I grow is better than the land next door, but unfortunately all the land has been occupied by the officials, and my whole family can't survive at all."
There were sneers all around, "Everyone can farm, but what kind of skill is this hard work?"
The man blushed and said unwillingly, "You know nothing! We are all farmers, but I harvest more food than others!"
Zhang Mazi came over with the list. He knew a few words, so he wrote down all the names by writing and drawing.
"It's good to know how to farm! This morning, Miss Ji asked me to find a few more farmers, saying that she wanted to grow crops on the mountain. If you farm well, there will be rewards!"
More and more people gathered around Zhang Mazi. Zhang Mazi was very happy. He flattered Miss Ji well last night, and as expected, Miss Ji used him early this morning.
While those people are vying to become centurions, he is much smarter. There are so many capable people around Gang Leader Lin that it is not his turn at all. It would be much better for him to follow Miss Ji.
Miss Ji has just arrived and is not familiar with the village, so he will be of great use.
Once he learns a few more words, he will be a capable general under Miss Ji, which is much better than fighting and killing.
The Feng Team, which was not very popular at first, suddenly became a hot commodity. Everyone's attention was drawn to the Feng Team. The outcome of the martial arts arena was already decided, and everyone discussed it for a few words before dispersing.
Hong Xiangyu was still sitting there without moving. The more she wiped away her tears, the more she cried and she couldn't stop them.
She missed her father and her deceased mother. If they were still alive, they would definitely not let others bully her like this.
Ji Yunhuan was in a good mood and had no intention of doing anything to Hong Xiangyu. He just wanted to give her a warning so that she wouldn't be so stubborn.
"Ms. Hong, it's useless to keep running away. You have to face the reality. The person A Yuan likes is me. Even if A Yuan doesn't marry you, he can still hold the position of the head of the family."
"You should know A Yuan. He is loyal and righteous. He was able to chase Zhao Feitian thousands of miles to avenge his adoptive father, so she will not ignore you. You used to be the eldest daughter of the Hongxing Gang. Now you are still Lin Yuan's sister and the eldest daughter of the Canglong Gang."
"A Yuan and I both treat you as our sister. We won't treat you unfairly..."
The more Hong Xiangyu listened, the angrier she became. She just felt that Ji Yunhuan was showing off. She stood up and shouted, "I don't want your fake kindness! A weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken has no good intentions! Ji Yunhuan, I hate you! I hate you the most!"
The girl's voice was choked with sobs, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, her nose was red, her lips were tightly bitten, and she stared at Ji Yunhuan stubbornly, looking quite pitiful.
Ji Yunhuan was embarrassed for making someone cry. She took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped Hong Xiangyu's face. "Oh! You really cried. Look at the little golden beans falling. I feel so sad just looking at you."
"Alright, alright, stop crying. It's just that you didn't beat me. If you study hard, you will definitely win in the future. I believe in you. Yu'er is the best!"
Hong Xiangyu grabbed a handkerchief and wiped her face roughly. Her chest heaved violently and she was so angry that she felt dizzy.
"I don't have a sister, stop flattering yourself! Get out! I don't want to see you!"
Ji Yunhuan thought this girl was quite cute, and couldn't help pinching her face. He said with a smile, "But you lose, and if you lose you have to call me sister."
"Seeing you're so lively, nothing must have happened. Forget about it today. I'm busy and don't have time to teach you. Come to the second floor to find me tomorrow morning. I'll test your knowledge first, and then think about how to teach you."
Hong Xiangyu slapped Ji Yunhuan's hand away, and like a savage beast, she roared viciously: "I don't want you to teach me! I can learn it myself. Sooner or later, I will be able to defeat you!"
Ji Yunhuan nodded and praised: "You are ambitious, but before you defeat me, you can only listen to me. Good girl, see you tomorrow."
