Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Under the leadership of the captains of thousands and centurions, everyone returned to their positions and conducted drills separately.

Most of the soldiers were very skilled and had trained well.

Only Fan Tong and the one thousand subordinates he led were a little at a loss and didn't know where to start training.

Fan Tonghuan tried it out for a while and ordered everyone, "Over there, go throw sandbags. Throwing sandbags is easy."

A thousand people followed him and rushed to the sandbag throwing area. They didn't care that other columns were practicing there. They grabbed the sandbags and threw them around.

The captain who was originally leading the training here was not happy and shouted, "Fan Tong, can't you see we are training here? If you want to train, you have to wait until we finish training, right?"

Fan Tong laughed shamelessly, "Hehe, let's practice together, practice together, brother, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

The captain showed no mercy: "Who wants to eat with you? Take your people and leave now."

Fan Tong immediately felt embarrassed and glared at me, "You don't know what's good for you, do you? I insist on practicing here."

One party wanted to grab the space, and the other party refused, so a quarrel immediately broke out. After a while, the two sides started fighting because of a disagreement.

It was about two hundred steps away from the sandbag throwing area. Lu Xunhuan accompanied Zhao Yi and Wei Ying as they walked and watched.

The three of them had already seen and heard the quarrel and fighting going on over there.

A hint of contempt appeared at the corner of Wei Ying's mouth: "A mob, Lord Lu, is this your brilliant method of training troops?"

Lu Xun Huan bowed and said, "Please give me your guidance, Lord Wei."

Wei Ying didn't say anything else. She stretched out her long legs and walked straight towards the sandbag throwing area.

"Stop!" she shouted.

The soldiers of the two columns turned around and saw the three commanders coming, so they quickly let go and separated.

Wei Ying ordered, "Two captains, step out."

Fan Tong and another captain obeyed the order and stood up.

The captain reported, "Sir, we were here first, and they are trying to take our place."

Wei Ying stretched out her hand: "Whip."

A soldier squeezed out of the crowd and handed over a whip.

Wei Ying tugged at the whip: "As a captain of a thousand men, you don't train well and lead your men to fight. How disgraceful! Get down, and I'll whip you ten times."

The captain complained, "Sir, they are unreasonable and are taking our space..."

"Shut up," Wei Ying shouted angrily, "Get down."

The captain looked at Lu Xunhuan: "Captain..."

Lu Xun Huan said, "It was Fan Tong who brought people here to seize the territory. I saw it clearly..."

"Shut up," Wei Ying scolded again, "Are you trying to protect your shortcomings?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "Master Wei, you are just here to watch..."

Wei Ying's eyebrows raised: "Lord Lu, who has a higher rank, you or me?"

After scolding Lu Xunhuan, she turned around and shouted, "Get down..."

The two centurions were only lashed ten times each, but their skin was torn and they even had a limp when walking.

Wei Ying was merciless and whipped them hard, giving them a severe lesson.

Then, she threw down the whip and said, "These are just some physical training exercises, nothing interesting to watch. I will not watch them today. If there are any arrangements for tomorrow, Lord Lu can send someone to inform me."

After saying that, she walked away.

Lu Xunhuan waited until her figure disappeared from the training ground before he ordered the soldiers to carry Fan Tong and another captain aside and sent a military doctor to treat and administer medicine to them.

He sat on a wooden stake, looking at Fan Tong who was screaming "ouch" all the time, and said, "You knew my training was tough, yet you came back and asked for trouble. Did you want to come back, or was it someone else who arranged for you to come back? Tell me the truth."

Fan Tong endured the pain and said, "I want to come back by myself."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Why?"

Fan Tong hummed a few times and replied, "Everyone in Zhongzhou knows that you want to build an iron army. How can I, Fan Tong, be absent? Serving the country has been my dream since I was a child."

Lu Xun Huan remained noncommittal: "Really? Does that mean you won't have the chance to serve the country if you stay in the Right Camp?"

Fan Tong said, "I want to win the battle."

Lu Xun Huan asked again, "How do you know that the Right Battalion can't win? Are you looking down on Captain Qin?"

The military doctor applied medicine and touched the wound. Fan Tong cried out, "Ouch, Lord Lu, there's no point in saying more. Just look at my performance."

Lu Xun Huan stood up: "Okay, I'll see how you perform."

By dusk, the training was over and the soldiers lined up again.

Lu Xunhuan stood on the platform and said loudly, "Why do we train so hard? Not only to win battles for our country, but also for yourselves. With sufficient energy and good technical and tactical skills, your chances of survival on the battlefield will naturally be higher. Do you agree?"

Below, the soldiers answered in unison: "Agree."

Lu Xunhuan added, "Training hard isn't just for yourself, it's also for the comrades around you. If you're not good enough, you're afraid, you fail, you retreat, you're dragging your comrades down. Anyone who doesn't train hard is being irresponsible to their comrades."

He called out by name, "Fan Tong, do you understand?"

Fan Tong, with his bandages on, saluted stiffly: "I understand."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Okay, I understand. That's all for today. We'll see how you perform tomorrow and then we'll disband."

After leaving the training ground, Lu Xunhuan took Zhao Yi and went to invite Wei Ying in person.

"Master Wei, I had something to do after returning yesterday, so I wasn't able to welcome you two. I'll make it up to you tonight. Let's go to the best restaurant in Zhongzhou City."

Wei Ying picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "I've already eaten."

Lu Xun Huan was a little embarrassed: "I'm late, can you eat more?"

Wei Ying stood up and said, "I can't eat anymore, Lord Lu, you don't need to flatter me. I will report the training methods I have seen here to Your Majesty truthfully. I will not exaggerate or deliberately belittle them. I will only speak the truth."

Lu Xunhuan laughed out loud: "Haha, Lord Wei is upright, I admire you. It's okay if you don't want to eat. How about I accompany Lord Wei for a walk?"

Wei Ying walked away: "You accompany me for a walk, do you want to attract gossip to me? Go and have dinner, I want to rest."

Lu Xunhuan was disappointed and had to take Zhao Yi out for dinner.

Just a hundred steps away from Wei Ying's residence, the two of them ran into the prefect Cao Ruhai and the Sima Cao Sima and his entourage.

Lu Xun Huan bowed and said, "Sir, Sima."

Cao Ruhai said, "I guess everyone hasn't eaten yet. This prefect is treating us to a meal to welcome Lord Wei and Lord Zhao, and also to celebrate your return. By the way, where's Lord Wei?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "I have already invited Lord Wei, and he said he has finished eating and is going to sleep."

Cao Ruhai stroked his beard: "This..."

Beside him, Zhao Yi said, "Master Wei may really not want to go. Let's not disturb him."

The best restaurant in Zhongzhou City had already reserved elegant seats. In addition to Lu Xunhuan and Zhao Yi, there were seven or eight officials from the provincial government. They were toasting each other and the atmosphere was very lively.

After three rounds of drinks, an official asked, "Sir Lu, I heard that besides being the head of the Dengtian Sect and the commander of the Left Camp, you're also a member of the Wangting Division?"

Lu Xun Huan was surprised when he heard the official suddenly say "Wang Tingsi," but he pretended to be confused and asked, "Who is Wang Tingsi? Where did this rumor come from? Where did you hear it?"

The official said, "It's all over the place, Lord Lu. I heard that the Royal Court Division is a secret organization established by the royal family to investigate corruption. Is that true?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head and said, "That's not the case. If you ask me, I'm still confused."

After the meal, it was late at night.

Lu Xunhuan returned to the courtyard in the south of the city, called Qingdai and Ye Feihong, closed the door, and whispered again.

Lu Xunhuan asked Qingdai, "Did you gain anything?"

Qing Dai replied, "We're checking everyone's background and have initially narrowed down the suspects."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Okay, let's investigate secretly and don't alert the enemy."

Qingdai tugged at her nightgown and said, "I should leave now."

Lu Xunhuan pulled her and then held Ye Feihong's shoulders, and the three of them put their heads together.

He whispered, "Remember what I told you last night. Never mention Wang Tingsi again."

After Qingdai left, Ye Feihong refused to leave.

Lu Xun Huan opened the window and looked in, then said, "The three girls are still in the east wing. Don't be too presumptuous. Wait a while."

Ye Feihong curled her lips and said, "I've made promises so many times, but each time it's broken. Humph."

She stood up, walked to the door, and turned back: "Kiss me, right?"
