Chapter 471

Wei Ci shut the hot water bag resting on his stomach tightly . An unceasing flow of energy was transmitted throughout his body . It caused the bone-chilling cold that long plagued him to dissipate .

Coughing softly, he said, “It’s such a coincidence . I have a friend, so I will ask for his opinion . ”

“Oh? Is that friend in Xiangyang district?” Qiguan Rang’s eyes lit up . If someone like Wei Ci joined, their workload would reduce significantly .

With a smile, Wei Ci said, “Xiheng and I came to Xiangyang district together . ”

Considering Zhang Ping’s obsession with machineries, he had neglected his duties at the government office . His temperament was rather like the lord’s .

Raising his brows, Qiguan Rang looked at Wei Ci deeply for a long while and thought, Brother, you did well!

Zhang Ping’s nose become itchy . He couldn’t hold it in anymore and sneezed .

“Achoo!”

Wood dust floated in the air . Zhang Ping positioned the hot water bag steadily and wrapped himself tightly with the clothes he wore . Before him laid shaved wooden materials .

With agile fingers, he dismantled the water vehicle he just assembled . “Water vehicles? Something is amiss . Where did it go wrong, or is it the composition of the pieces together?”

Afterward, Zhang Ping realized the hot water bag had lost its warm temperature . He got up to refill the bag with hot water . When he opened the window, he discovered it was already dusk . Without realizing it, the whole afternoon had passed .

Rubbing his tummy, he felt hungry . After he took out some money, Zhang Ping wrapped his overcoat tightly around himself and prepared to walk in the snow and wind to buy food .

Wei Ci had his three meals at the district headquarters, so both Zhang Ping and Dian Yan had to fend for themselves . They don’t know how to prepare food, so headed to the nearby eatery .

“When the new year comes, I’m afraid even the eateries will close,” Zhang Ping said . “We need a maid who can cook and do household chores . ”

He was a craftsman competent with his hands, but his ability to manage his daily life was rather lousy . No one knew, but a more uncertain future awaited him in the future . Two flowers can bloom, but each has its own fate .

Dian Yan and his bandit brothers were capable with their hands, so they were successfully recruited into the military camp . They initially thought the good days were near and that they could settle down in Xiangyang district .

He never thought she was up to winter training . During the wee hours of the day, they had to be in their full attire to anticipate and prepare for morning drills . On the coldest day in winter, they had to carry a heavy burden and run across the mountains and plains . It was said this was the most basic training . But, when they become accustomed to it, the training would increase in severity .

Dian Yan, a giant-like person stood out amongst men, performed well . Others quickly noticed him . The person who noticed his talents was Jiang Pengji, whom Qiguan Rang mocked as a slacker .

She wore coarse clothing made from camel’s cloth . It revealed her slim, white wrists . The viewers in the livestreaming room were worried for her, but she appeared to be alright .

With both hands folded, Jiang Pengji interviewed the new soldiers . “That tall guy is not bad . He has good substance . ”

Liyun saw that she was pointing at Dian Yan and nodded .

“The intensity of training is demanding . Many people complain incessantly . They even threw tantrums . Few could control their temper . He was one of them . ” Speaking of official matters, Liyun had always been mature and solemn . There were no traces of cuteness in him . “Perhaps my lord should shout for him and test him . ”

Leading an army to war was the business of the generals . Presently, those “generals” were Meng Hun, Luoyue and Liyun .

Jiang Pengji could reluctantly be considered as a lord, but the subordinates under her were unwilling to let herself be put into danger . For now, there were enough people . When the territory increased in size, the dividing lines between wars would extend . At that time, those few men would not be enough .

It was better to be well-prepared for the worst . From the beginning, to identify anyone worthy to be invested in was of the utmost importance .

Jiang Pengji held a thin piece of wild grassroot in her mouth, showcasing her unorganized side . “No need . Have another look . ”

Liyun nodded . Both of them continued to stand at the mountain gap to observe the caliber of the new soldiers .

After a while, the training lance corporal for the new soldiers finally relaxed and asked them to rest . Countless of recruits appeared as if they were just whipped to their bones . They laid on the ground exhausted . They were gasping for air . Despite the winter wind and biting cold, they still felt like they were next to a stove . Their backs perspired until they were soaked .

Dian Yan stood still on the spot . When his breathing became more regular, he followed the others to sit and rest . His actions, coupled with his body build, made him stand out amid the new troops .

It was evident in her eyes that Jiang Pengji held him in high regards . “He’s indeed not bad . ”

The lance corporals responsible for training were chosen from amidst the troops . They treated the new recruits just like how they treated everyone else . New soldiers who performed well inevitably would attract more attention, especially someone like Dian Yan, who listened attentively and was keenly aware of the training schedule .

When the new soldiers took a break and had their meals, the food Dian Yan received included an egg in his porridge and an additional scoop of meat-based soup . Just a sniff of the extra food made everyone’s stomachs rumble with hunger .

He didn’t ignore the people beside him, nor did he encourage their jealousy . He buried his head and devoted himself to eating without caring if the porridge would burn his lips .

Dian Yan focused and drank the entire bowl of porridge . As the porridge entered his stomach, his entire body, from inside to outside, emitted a warm, comfortable and lazy feeling .

Just as he was about to send the ceramic bowl away, his sharp hearing allowed him to eavesdrop on a conversation nearby . The contents of it touched on his sensitive spot .

One recruit spoke to the other softly . Although his voice was soft, people around could still hear him . “Did you hear that? There are women here, eh . ”

“Women?” The other recruit uncontrollably sneered and said, “Even if there are, only those superiors can enjoy them . ”

The military camp had no women . If there were, they were only present to serve the soldiers . During the day, they cooked and did chores . At night, they served their customers .

Dian Yan’s blood boiled . He refused to believe that the district city also had such despicable practice . His eyes immediately turned violent . His raging expression caused others to tremble .

He confronted the other two men . “Is what you said true?”

The two new soldiers heard his voice and raised their heads . Seeing how Dian Yan looked, they subsequently laughed sarcastically, interpreting his reaction as him missing women .

“Of course, it’s true,” one of the recruits said . “The district headquarters publicized to recruit female troops . This is known throughout the district . Who wants to go…”

Jiang Pengji ha stunningly sharp hearing . She heard the commotion and uncontrollably knit her brows .

During the last recruitment, there were between 500 and 600 females . In the end, only slightly above a hundred people were willing to step forth . Moreover, it was those petite and weak young ladies who stepped up . The majority of them had lost both their parents . They were often forcefully dragged over by their grandparents or relatives .

When they came over to register, one by one they inconsolably cried with much reluctance, as evident by their attitude . This made Jiang Pengji’s blood boil . Her women’s troop camp was not a rubbish collection site . It was impossible to take in incompetent people . Now that she had surveyed the incident, the root of the matter was known .

“Allow me to clarify, did they mistake anything?” Jiang Pengji pinched her lower chin . The side of her lips were smiling coldly . She said to Liyun, who was beside her, “These imbeciles thought the women’s troops I assembled are to give them endless enjoyment, satisfy their desires, and unleash their wild side . Pei, pei!”

Liyun decided to keep silent . With regard to the women’s troops being misunderstood as a prostitution camp, he had only just found out .
