Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

The next day, Lu Xunhuan led the soldiers out of the city for training. After leaving the city gate, he asked Zhao Yi, "Where is the boy who was with you last night?"

Zhao Yi shook his head: "He's gone. Brother Lu, there are some people you can't offend easily."

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "Could it be that his background is so great that it's beyond belief?"

Zhao Yi said: "It's not that high up in the sky. His father is the prime minister of the dynasty. Moreover, he is in Kyoto City and has close relationships with several princes."

Lu Xun Huan bowed and said, "I apologize for my impulsiveness last night, Brother Zhao."

Zhao Yi said, "What's the point of you apologizing to me? You can apologize to him when you have a chance."

Lu Xun Huan looked at the winding marching column ahead and said, "I don't even bother to apologize to him. Brother Zhao is one of us, so I should apologize. Who does he think he is?"

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "You are awesome. I admire you!"

The two men rode forward for a while, and Zhao Yi said again: "But Brother Lu, if you want to be awesome, you need to have the capital."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Having the Sixth Prince as your backer isn't enough capital?"

Zhao Yi laughed: "Enough, enough."

After a stick of incense, the soldiers arrived at the designated location and began the coordination drill between the various arms.

As for Wei Ying, she was not there when they gathered in the morning. Lu Xunhuan knew that she somewhat looked down upon his training methods, so he didn't bother to ask.

They practiced for two hours in the morning. At noon, the training ended and the soldiers began to eat.

Lu Xunhuan was eating dry food when suddenly the sound of horse hooves was heard.

He turned around and saw Wei Ying coming.

Behind Wei Ying, there were two officials on horseback. Judging from their attire, they were not from Zhongzhou City, but seemed to have come from Kyoto City.

Lu Xun Huan stood up, waited for Wei Ying to come to him, and bowed, "Master Wei, it seems something has happened?"

Wei Ying's face still had that cold look on it.

She had been in Zhongzhou City for such a long time, but Lu Xunhuan had never seen her smile.

She returned the greeting, "Lord Lu, I'm here to say goodbye."

Lu Xunhuan asked with a hint of surprise, "Are you going back to Kyoto?"

Wei Ying added, "Also, I want to say sorry to you. I'm a public person, not a personal one. Whether you understand or not, that's it."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Master Wei, what are you talking about? Everything we do is to build an iron army. It's normal to have slightly different opinions."

As soon as he finished speaking, several more horses came from behind, led by Sima Cao.

Lu Xunhuan thought to himself, what happened today? Did I offend that kid last night, and he reported it to Sima Cao?

After a while, when Sima Cao and others came closer, everyone dismounted together.

An official from the capital pulled out a scroll, unfolded it, and said, "Cao Gui, the Sima of Zhongzhou City, Lu Xunhuan, the Commandant of the Left Camp, and Zhao Yi, the General Superintendent of the Left Camp, are here to hear your orders."

When Lu Xunhuan heard this, he was surprised. What? An imperial edict?

He knelt down along with Sima Cao and Zhao Yi.

The official read, "According to my understanding, Lu Xunhuan is boastful and superficial, lacking in real talent and knowledge. Therefore, I am demoting him to a captain of a thousand men. The post of Commandant of the Left Camp of Zhongzhou City will be temporarily held by Zhao Yi. I decree this."

After hearing the imperial edict, Lu Xunhuan was still a little dazed.

He was training well, how come he suddenly became a captain of a thousand men?

He thought about what the imperial edict said about empty talk, theoretical knowledge, and frivolity. He was afraid that only because Wei Ying wrote memorials back to him would His Majesty have such an impression of him.

He raised his head and looked at Wei Ying.

Wei Ying said, "I said I would report the facts truthfully."

The official reading the imperial edict asked, "Why, Lu Xunhuan, are you not convinced?"

Sima Cao quickly replied for him, "Your Majesty is wise. Lu Xunhuan and I will deeply reflect on this. Thank you for your help, sir."

He stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, please speak."

The official followed him, walked to the side, and muttered to himself, away from the crowd.

Here, Wei Ying said to Lu Xunhuan, "Perhaps my understanding of you is limited and I have misjudged you. If you prove that you have real talent and skills in the future, I, Wei Ying, will apologize to you in person."

She bowed and said, "Lu Xunhuan, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself."

After she finished speaking, she turned her horse around and left.

After Zhao Yi took over the Left Camp, he ordered the soldiers to return to the city, rest today, and gather at the training ground tomorrow.

He didn't even make any arrangements for Lu Xunhuan, the captain of a thousand men, such as which column he should lead, cavalry, infantry, or archers.

Lu Xunhuan followed the team and returned to the city silently.

Sima Cao specially accompanied him all the way back to the south of the city. When they were alone, Sima Cao said, "Xunhuan, don't be depressed. Sometimes bad things are not necessarily bad things."

Lu Xunhuan turned around in surprise: "What?"

Sima Cao said, "Some things, over time, may have a different understanding. If Zhao Yi gives you soldiers, you lead them. If he doesn't, you can just sleep at home. After all, your position as a captain was given by His Majesty himself, and no one can demote you."

Lu Xun Huan was silent for a moment before he said, "Alright then. I just want to go back to Dengtianmen to see everyone."

Cao Sima smiled and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. I agree."

Lu Xunhuan felt a bit amused and helpless.

On the second day, he gave Qingdai and Ye Feihong a few brief instructions, then quietly left Zhongzhou City and headed south alone.

Since he came to Zhongzhou City, he has experienced many things and has been busy all day long. It is indeed time for him to calm down and think carefully.

Whether your soul has traveled to another world or fallen into the monkey's game, whether you are facing reality or facing the game, every step is crucial.

He now recalled that the reason he could never defeat the golden monkey was because he was in a hurry to catch up with the progress of the game and did not obtain all the resources he should have.

The same is true for life.

In the world of the previous life, people studied hard, took the college entrance exams, the postgraduate entrance exams, and the doctoral entrance exams. Wasn’t it just to make their future life easier?

When playing games, whether it is accumulating equipment or acquiring skills in the early stages, the same principle applies, which is to ensure success in the later stages.

Whether his soul has traveled through time and space and he has to face another real world, or he has fallen into a game and has to face the trap set by the monkey, he needs to accumulate a lot of capital.

This accumulation includes not only strength, but also money and connections.

Even including having your own team.

So, where is your team?

Immortal Friends Association?

Shenlong Pavilion?

Or is it just the gate to heaven?

All of these require him to think carefully and plan well.

At dusk, Lu Xunhuan appeared at the gate of Dengtianmen Mountain.

Senior Sister Lan, who was sitting at the mountain gate practicing, was overjoyed to see him come back. She jumped up and hugged him.

"You are finally back……"

Lu Xunhuan hugged her for a while and said, "I have something to give you."

He took out the white jade bracelet from his arms: "Here."

Senior Sister Lan took the bracelet and examined it carefully. "This looks like my great-grandmother's bracelet," she said.

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "I heard that. Your hometown is in trouble. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

He fished out a thick stack of gold and silver bills from his bosom, counted out a hundred thousand silver bills, and handed them to Senior Sister Lan: "Take some time to go back home and distribute them to the family members."

Senior Sister Lan took the banknote, tears welling up in her eyes, and hugged him again: "Thank you."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Your business is my business, let's not talk about those formalities. By the way, how is your training with Senior Sister Bai going?"

Senior Sister Lan replied, "We have both reached the ninth level of the Qin Heart Realm, but we have all stopped moving forward."

Lu Xun Huan touched her face and said, "Anyway, I need to rest for a while after I come back. I will take you to the Nine-story Demon Tower to obtain the demon beast's inner elixir and help you break through to the Soaring Cloud Realm."

Senior Sister Lan nodded happily: "Okay."

She was so carried away that she kissed him tenderly at the mountain gate.

But after a moment, the voices of the senior and junior sisters could be heard: "The master is back, master, master..."

Lu Xunhuan quickly let go of Senior Sister Lan, whose face was flushed red, and faced everyone, walking towards Senior Sister Bai, Junior Sister Xiaoqing and others.

He called to the women, "Let's go back to the main hall. Everyone will have a gift."

Everyone cheered, surrounded him, and walked towards the hall.

Someone asked, "Master, you only have such a small bag on your back, what kind of gifts can you put in it?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Give each of you 1,000 taels of silver notes as pocket money, okay?"

"Good," everyone cheered again.
