Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Lingshan returned with a group of new recruits, who had already completed a round of training early in the morning.

Judging from her nimble movements as she gallops on horseback and dismounts, it's easy to see that she has been training herself regularly.

As expected of Ning Anran's personally trained disciple, this seemingly delicate young lady possesses such a formidable aura.

Not far away, Jing Lei was talking to the guards.

After Chu Lingshan returned, she strode up to Jing Lei. The two talked about something, and Jing Lei nodded and even smiled.

This was the first time Zisu had seen Jinglei laugh since she came to the military camp.

When he smiles, he is still the same as before, calm and composed. Although he may not be very approachable, at least he is not cold at all.

It was completely different from the thunder that struck last night.

"Is this a young lady from your Duke's mansion?" Liu Yun walked up from behind and looked at Chu Lingshan standing with Jing Lei. She smiled and said, "Your Duke's mansion really has a lot of talented people. Which branch of the family is this young lady from?"

The Duke's mansion has only one legitimate daughter, and that is their Princess Consort, Chu Yueli.

But this young lady was brought by Huo Qing, and he also heard someone call her Miss Ling Shan, so her status was not that of an ordinary maid.

But he had been to the Duke's mansion several times and had never seen such a master.

Zisu then withdrew her gaze and said, "She's not a young lady from the Duke's mansion, but from the Earl's mansion. She's one of the old Earl's granddaughters, Chu Lingshan."

"There are indeed no weak women among the descendants of generals." Whether it is the Earl's Mansion or the Duke's Mansion, they are all members of the Chu family.

Although it was said that the old master was not very kind to the siblings, Madam Ning Anran was also from the master's mansion, and Chu Zhengnan was a majestic general.

"If they were still here..." Liu Yun was also very emotional, but he didn't continue. Instead, he looked at Zi Su and smiled, "Your martial arts are not weak either. Have you ever thought about joining the army and becoming a female general?"

A glint flashed in Zisu's eyes, but she ultimately smiled and shook her head: "I just want to stay by Miss's side."

"Don't you have your own thoughts?"

"This is just my own thought." Everyone has their own ambitions. Some people like to be great heroes and leave their mark on history, while others just want to be a quiet little person and live each day to the fullest.

Liu Yun smiled and said, "That's true. I also only want to stay by the Prince's side and follow him for the rest of my life."

It's not that I lack ambition; as the saying goes, everyone has their own aspirations.

In the distance, Jing Lei and Chu Lingshan were chatting about something. After exchanging a few more words with the guards, Jing Lei and Chu Lingshan walked together toward the new recruits.

Chu Yueli happened to come out of the tent, and the two of them immediately came over when they saw her.

Jing Lei bowed and said, "Your Highness."

Chu Lingshan also bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"Did you assist your third aunt in recruiting this new soldier?" Chu Yueli asked, looking at Chu Lingshan.

It's true that one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation. I never expected that in less than ten days, she would transform into a brave female warrior.

Chu Lingshan hurriedly said, "It's all thanks to Madam Qing. I only assisted in completing it. Moreover, Madam Qing had already gathered more than 10,000 of these 20,000 new recruits before I arrived. After I arrived, it was under Madam Qing's leadership that the remaining 5,000 elite soldiers were finally gathered."

"I heard that five thousand people were gathered yesterday?" Chu Yueli was somewhat surprised. She was also taken aback when Miao Yucui and Nangong Ji reported to her last night.

Qinyang is only so big, where did so many people come from who are eager to join the army?
