Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Chapter 068 Let's go to the military camp

"Uncle..."

Li Mingxuan was sweating profusely with anxiety, and stammered, "Your whip might not be very effective in the army..."

Everyone knows that Lin Ping is the kind of person who feels uncomfortable if he doesn't cause trouble every day.

If he caused trouble elsewhere, it would be fine, but once he caused trouble in the military camp, no one can save him.

Li Mingxuan and the others will also be punished in the future.

Lin Ping glared at Li Mingxuan, kicked him hard, and cursed, "You dog! Do I need your permission to go anywhere?"

Li Mingxuan was prepared. He turned his body and left his back to Lin Ping, but he didn't dare let the other's kick miss. If Lin Ping hurt his back, he couldn't afford to suffer the consequences.

"Yes, yes, yes... Young master is right!"

Li Mingxuan slapped himself. Why hadn't he learned his lesson? Wherever his son-in-law wanted to go, he would go.

Da Niu and Er Niu followed behind, all smiles and eager to please. They were glad that Li Mingxuan had a quick tongue, otherwise they might have been the ones getting beaten up.

To be honest, it's one thing to flaunt one's power in the city lord's mansion, but if one commits a crime in the military camp, it's not as simple as getting a beating; a slight misstep could cost one's head.

Therefore, they must be more careful on this trip and take turns to educate Lin Ping with love.

In other words, the force is evenly distributed across all three buttocks, so the beating won't be too severe.

"Young master, now is the time for training troops, so we must be careful when we go."

Da Niu made a face in front of Lin Ping, and his acting skills were even better than Li Mingxuan's.

As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face, so Lin Ping didn't get angry at all. He could only say defiantly, "Is there anyone in the military camp with a higher rank than my wife?"

Everyone grinned and shook their heads. Although these 10,000 private soldiers were equivalent to two garrisons with two garrison commanders, they were still the city lord's private army and had to obey Jiang Yunying's unified command.

"What's there to be afraid of? My wife will take the blame even if we make a huge mess."

Lin Ping said confidently.

All three of them broke out in a cold sweat. They finally understood that Lin Ping was a fearless person who had come here to cause trouble. They could only hope that, as he wished, Jiang Yunying would protect them if anything happened.

The city lord's military camp is located in the northwest of the city, occupying half the size of the entire city. In addition to military tents, there are various training grounds, enough for 10,000 people to train at the same time.

"prick!"

Jiang Yunying's clear and crisp voice echoed throughout the training ground, and her military uniform further accentuated her androgynous charm.

"drink!"

The thousand-strong formation shouted in unison, thrusting their spears forward with powerful, even strokes.

This formation is the elite of the private army, and they are frequently trained by Jiang Yunying personally, so their strength is naturally considerable.

Snapped……

Jiang Yunying lashed a soldier's shoulder with her whip, knocking off the cloak of his fish-scale armor and leaving a bright red welt on his shoulder, demonstrating the immense power of the whip.

"Didn't you eat? Your lower body is unstable, and your speed is slow."

Jiang Yunying shouted angrily.

Although this person appeared to be moving at the same pace as the others, his legs were trembling slightly, and his attack speed was a fraction slower, which was definitely not something that could escape Jiang Yunying's notice.

The man was wincing in pain, yet he still held the spear horizontally in his hand, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Finally, he responded loudly, "Reporting to Your Highness, the lunch break is too short!"

It's just past noon, only fifteen minutes before lunch is over. Many soldiers haven't had a proper rest, and the sudden increase in training intensity this morning has clearly made them somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Jiang Yunying knew she had given the soldiers an unfair advantage, but she had no choice. She had to complete the city lord's mission and significantly increase the strength of her private army in the short term to avoid being crushed.

"How come everyone else is fine? That's clearly just making excuses!"

Jiang Yunying raised the whip high again and brought it down hard.

Snapped!

The lash was severe, but it could never be taken back.

Jiang Yunying glared angrily, only to realize that the whip had been caught by another person with his bare hands.

"Stop practicing!"

The man threw the whip in his hand to the ground and said angrily.

"Pang Xingji, say that again?"

Jiang Yunying was stunned; her icy gaze was chilling.

Pang Xingji was a captain, commanding a thousand of the most elite men. His position was second only to Jiang Yunying and the two guard commanders, and he had considerable influence in the military camp.

The soldier who was hit broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly tried to persuade Pang Xingji to change his words, because angering Jiang Yunying would have dire consequences.

Pang Xingji was a typical burly man with dark skin, strong muscles, and a quirky personality. He spoke bluntly and retorted, "The brothers train day and night to protect the safety of the city lord, and they may die on the battlefield at any time, but they are not as important as a spendthrift son in the princess's heart."

"Captain, please stop talking."

The soldier who was hit hurriedly tried to stop him, fearing that Pang Xingji's straightforward nature would harm him.

"Keep talking!"

Jiang Yunying's lips twitched slightly as she forcibly suppressed her anger.

"It's all over the military camp that the princess beat her own brother for favoring a spendthrift son. The brothers even said that the people in the city lord's mansion are human, while the brothers in the military camp are just weapons, used when needed and discarded when not."

Pang Xingji tilted his head back, getting angrier and angrier as he spoke.

The spendthrift he was referring to was naturally Lin Ping. The news of Qin Diao Hui being beaten that day had already spread like wildfire throughout the military camp.

The soldiers felt disheartened by this, and Jiang Yunying's increasingly rigorous training in recent days made them feel like they were nothing more than weapons, mere dogs of the city lord's mansion.

Jiang Yunying gritted her teeth in anger. The enemy hadn't even attacked the main city yet, and they were already in chaos. She said coldly, "Anyone who disrupts morale will be executed!"

Everyone had witnessed Jiang Yunying's methods, and upon hearing these words, thousands of soldiers knelt down in unison to plead for Pang Xingji.

"Pang Xingji, do you know your mistake?"

Jiang Yunying asked through gritted teeth, giving him one last chance.

Pang Xingji was, after all, a high-ranking officer with great prestige in the army. Killing him would surely discourage many more people.

Moreover, Jiang Yunying had always admired the other party and was unwilling to kill him for both reason and emotion. However, if this fellow did not change his mind, it would be a different story. How could the authority be established if the one who disturbed the morale of the army was not beheaded and displayed to the public?

Pang Xingji was as stubborn as a turtle trying to eat a weight; he was determined, pursed his lips, and stretched out his neck, making a gesture that indicated he would do as he pleased.

Jiang Yunying drew her sword, took two or three steps to stand in front of Pang Xingji, closed her eyes, and thrust her sword out.

Snapped……

Another crack of the whip rang out, and Pang Xingji and Jiang Yunying both opened their eyes in astonishment.

This whip was wielded by Lin Ping; if it hadn't struck Pang Xingji's neck precisely, it wouldn't have caused him any harm.

Jiang Yunying sheathed her sword and glanced at Lin Ping in surprise. Naturally, she didn't want him to cause trouble, and besides, this lash of the whip only confirmed that Jiang Yunying was biased towards Lin Ping.

In order to maintain her authority in the military, Jiang Yunying must severely punish Lin Ping.

"Hey kid, who are you?"

Pang Xingji glared angrily at Lin Ping, unaware that without that whip, Jiang Yunying's sword would have already pierced his chest.

"I am the spendthrift you've been talking about!"

Lin Ping glared back, no less fierce than Pang Xingji.
