As the sun rises in the east, more than 10,000 soldiers get out of bed in Lingxu Valley, line up and run around the valley.
They have been training for half a month. From the beginning, they were skinny and weak. After half a month of training, after being fed and clothed, the mental outlook of these farmers has been completely renewed, and the prototype of the army is gradually emerging.
Xihe nodded slightly and turned to look at Hu Shuidi with approval: "Well done."
She has a lot to do, choose the right people to spy on the rebels, Beijing and other places, and make changes based on real-time situations. Naturally, it is impossible for her to train in person, and she can only show up occasionally.
She left the training to the always serious Hu Shuidi, and now it seems that the results are pretty good.
Hu Shuidi still had that expressionless face and held up her hands: "Senior Sister, do you have any other instructions?"
Shen Yunzhuang on the side hates the iron. This fool has been praised, so he can't express it? Say a few more words?
With a cold face, I don't know if I thought she was unhappy with Senior Sister's order.
Xihe didn't pay much attention. He looked down and said, "From today on, I will train harder and eat better."
The latter sentence was said to Shen Yunzhuang. She was responsible for the purchase.
Shen Yunzhuang immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, senior sister, I will definitely make arrangements to ensure that they have enough food, clothing, and strength to train. When the time comes, they will be more powerful than the soldiers of the imperial court..."
Suddenly he paused and looked up at Senior Sister, and saw the other party looking at him with a smile.
Shen Yunzhuang panicked, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead: "Senior Sister, I, I..."
It's okay to speculate in private, but to say it out in front of senior sister without thinking, at this moment, I was so nervous that I swallowed my saliva.
Xihe smiled slightly: "Well, you have always done a good job, I believe in you."
He turned around and headed down the mountain, "Go down and have a look."
Shen Yunzhuang breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away the cold sweat, feeling that she seemed a little complacent.
Why did the senior sister bring so many people in, and what was the purpose of training every day? She has always been unclear.
But no one has ever asked, and we just do whatever we are told.
But she smelled something different from these arrangements: the senior sister wanted to imitate Luo Cheng and others!
In recent years, uprisings have continued 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 the recent border governor Cui Pingyang.
Luo Cheng came from an aristocratic family, and the people in the border uprising belonged to the army... They came from the Jianghu.
When she first came to this conclusion, she was shocked and panicked. How dare she, senior sister!
But if you think about it carefully, why not?
Maybe she was a little worried about the former senior sister, who was too weak-minded and not someone to do such a big thing, but with the current senior sister, she feels that whatever she wants to do is very possible.
In the past five years, the few shops in Piaomiaomen have bloomed like flowers all over the Ming Dynasty.
As an eyewitness, she has to check the accounts and operating conditions every quarter. No one knows better than her how much revenue these shops and restaurants make, let alone the secret casinos and brothels. This is an extremely huge number.
At that time, she admired the senior sister so much that she was the only one in the world who had such a method!
"Yunzhuang."
The group stopped and turned to call her.
Shen Yunzhuang quickly adjusted her expression and stepped forward calmly: "Senior Sister, I'll be here right away."
Seeing that she had finally returned to normal, Xihe nodded secretly. Shen Yunzhuang had been inexplicably agitated for the past half month. She had lost her usual calmness, and her speech had become more and more erratic. After a little lesson today, she was indeed back to normal.
However, it was not that she deliberately concealed the establishment of an army, she just felt that the time had not come yet.
After personally watching these soldiers training all morning, Xihe stopped saying anything, turned around and left the place with Fang Qinglin.
After riding on his horse, Fang Qinglin asked: "There is news from Senior Brother that a private coal mine has been found. Can you go and see it?"
Xihe clamped his legs around the horse's belly: "Go!"
——For three full years, Xihe has been preparing.
However, the fact that Piao Miao Sect had a large number of people was finally noticed by other sects and the imperial court, and the imperial court immediately sent an envoy.
Before Xihe could do anything, these leaders exploded: What is this Master Chu doing? Are you going to kill them? Is the imperial court easy to mess with?
I wanted to find someone to teach this woman a lesson, but Master Jing'an, who disappeared after the attack on the Demon Cult, had been missing for eight years. I still don't know which ravine she was practicing in. Where can I find her?
In the end, it was unanimously decided to go to the Taichu sect to invite the chief master to come out and scold this audacious girl!
Determined, a group of masters got up and set off, riding horses and leading their disciples to the Taichu Sect in a hurry.
The control in every city and county on the road has become stricter, the number of beggars wandering on the streets has increased, and the faces of the people have become more and more miserable. They are simply members of the Jianghu sect and are treated better.
When they arrived at the foot of the Taichu Mountain, they waited for the disciples to inform them, and then climbed up to the mountain gate with all kinds of grace.
I thought that Grand Master Zong was in retreat and needed to wait for a while. Unexpectedly, Song Yurong said with a smile: "Master is meeting guests. If you masters don't mind, you can go together."
When a group of people walked into the hall, they were startled by the woman sitting opposite Master Zong.
This person is wearing a smart and simple uniform with arrow sleeves. He has a slender figure, a calm temperament, and a smile at the corner of his mouth. He is clearly a woman, but there is an aura around him that is difficult to ignore.
Why has this little girl changed so much after not seeing each other for several years?
"Master Chu, why are you here?"
Several heads reacted and immediately pointed at her.
Then he hurriedly complained to Master Zong: "Master Zong, you must take care of her. There are so many people in the Piao Miao Sect, and it has spread to the outside world. Those who don't know would think that our world is going to challenge the imperial court!"
"Why not?"
Before Master Zong could speak, Xihe raised his eyes.
The leader of Lingxiao Sect was retorted and could not react for a moment: "What did you say?"
Xihe smiled and looked at everyone: "You are also the leaders of the right path, famous figures in the world, masters of forces, and role models in the minds of many young people in the world."
She gave everyone a thumbs-up, and immediately, the leader who had been humiliated by her couldn't help but puff up his chest and lift his chin, considering that this junior has a lot of discernment.
"However."
Xihe changed the subject.
The heads immediately raised their ears.
Xihe: "Nowadays, wars are raging all over the country, uprisings are continual, the court is useless, and the people are forced to be homeless, with no fields to plant, no food to eat, and no stable life. Why do you turn a blind eye?"
“Robbing the rich and giving to the poor, upholding justice, and traveling the world with a sword.”
"He who serves the country and the people is a great hero."
"Do you still remember your original intention when you first entered the world?"
These words left several heads who were about to jump speechless and confused.
Xihe curled his lips and handed over to Grand Master Zong: "Master Zong has given me permission, and my disciples can accompany me on the expedition to drive out the Tatars and punish the traitors in the world. You have no intention of accompanying me, but please don't stop me."
"Otherwise, don't blame me, Master Chu, for offending all the elders."
