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

"The son-in-law's luck is simply incredible; no wonder he can make money gambling on stones."

Li Mingxuan admired Lin Ping greatly and naturally did not believe that Lin Ping had hit the target by skill.

It wasn't just Li Mingxuan; hundreds and thousands of people shared this idea.

It's understandable to hit the bullseye with your eyes open, but what else could it be but a lucky shot with your eyes closed?

Lin Ping, who had activated his X-ray vision, could clearly see the incredulous faces of the crowd. He smiled faintly and pulled the trigger of the sword three times in a row.

shhhhhh!

Three arrows came in quick succession, all hitting the bullseye. The last arrow even pierced through the shaft of the first arrow, splitting the wooden target in two.

Pang Xingji's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he almost knelt down before Lin Ping. Without real strength, even with the best luck, it would be impossible to hit the target five times in a row.

"how?"

Lin Ping removed the blindfold from his eyes and asked casually.

how is it?

Are you asking this question without knowing the answer?

If Pang Xingji still expressed his dissatisfaction at this point, wouldn't he be seen as narrow-minded?

Then, Pang Xingji chuckled obsequiously twice and shouted, "I refuse to accept this!"

That's right, these are Pang Xingji's exact words...

These words immediately drew disdainful looks from the soldiers, who all thought to themselves: "The captain has changed; he seems somewhat... shameless."

You were the one who demanded the competition, and now you're the one who's still not satisfied.

If Lin Ping were also a captain, Pang Xingji might be able to accept reality. But the other party is an absolute spendthrift. If word gets out, how will he be able to maintain his position in the army?

"Oh? Brother Pang wants to have a match?"

Lin Ping said sarcastically, but in reality he dared not accept the challenge, as he was completely ignorant of archery.

"Military campaigns are not solely reliant on brute force; they also require the ability to command troops..."

Pang Xingji blushed as he said this. He was a well-known roughneck in the entire army camp, with no strategy whatsoever. Apart from being good at one-on-one combat, he was only good at training soldiers.

"art of war?"

Lin Ping almost burst out laughing: "You want to talk to me about military strategy? I didn't read those military books for nothing."

Putting aside the fact that Lin Ping was an outstanding general in his previous lives, he was also a literature enthusiast before he transmigrated, and he read a lot of military books.

Lin Ping loved to use his strengths to crush others' weaknesses, but this time he wanted to put on a more impressive show, so he replied, "How about we have a training competition? Brother Pang can choose ten men from these thousand elite soldiers, and I'll choose ten ordinary soldiers. We'll train them separately, and then compete in a day. What do you say?"

Training soldiers is Pang Xingji's forte. Lin Ping not only wants to challenge his strengths, but also wants to select inferior soldiers.

What's the difference between this and throwing an egg against a rock or a moth to a flame? If Pang Xingji were to accept the challenge, he would be laughed out of the room, let alone lose the match.

puff……

Pang Xingji spat everywhere, then stammered, "One day? Just one day?"

Lin Ping nodded hurriedly and replied, "That's right, it's just one day. Brother Pang wouldn't refuse the challenge, would he..."

This was an insult that left him completely naked. Pang Xingji felt as if he had been splashed in the face, and the other party was even a little angry.

Does he have a choice?

of course not!

Even if there's shit in the latrine you dug yourself, you'll still crawl into it headfirst...

"Husband, how about we extend the stay for a few more days..."

Jiang Yunying whispered in Lin Ping's ear, using such an ambiguous term of address.

Lin Ping was touched and immediately felt that everything he had done was worthwhile, and he had to help Yun Ying rectify military discipline.

"Adding a few more days will only make the loss worse..."

Lin Ping muttered to himself.

Lin Ping didn't have the leisure for that. The longer the time dragged on, the greater the gap between him and his opponent would become. Therefore, he thought of using a surprise attack to defeat Pang Xingji.

Next, the two began to select soldiers. In order not to bully Lin Ping, Pang Xingji deliberately selected the ten worst soldiers from the Dragon Guard.

Lin Ping selected ten outstanding ordinary soldiers, and although there was still some difference between the two sides, it was not significant.

Moreover, these ordinary soldiers had long been disgusted by the arrogant attitude of Ryubei and his men, and were all eager to have a good fight with them.

On the contrary, the soldiers of the Dragon Guard have always looked down on ordinary soldiers and even disdain to use their full strength.

Judging from morale alone, Lin Ping's side has the upper hand, and there may really be a chance for a contest.

After Pang Xingji led the soldiers, he immediately took them to the training ground for combat training. Lin Ping then shamelessly asked Jiang Yunying, "Wife, is there a quick way to learn martial arts?"

Jiang Yunying smiled at Lin Ping and said softly, "Do you want a martial art that you can master in a day?"

"Yeah!"

Lin Ping nodded repeatedly, wishing the other party could enlighten him and also teach these good-for-nothing soldiers a lesson.

"no!"

Jiang Yunying's expression changed, and she answered decisively.

A skill that can be mastered in a day?

Are you kidding me?

She practiced this sword technique for ten years and this lightness skill for five years. Lin Ping was really dreaming.

Seeing that the other side had already started training, Lin Ping's ten men were a little envious and consciously went to the training ground to start training as well.

To be honest, they never intended to rely on Lin Ping. The reason they agreed to fight was simply because they couldn't stand Ryubei's way of doing things. Their Tiger Guards were not to be trifled with either.

Here we must mention the troop deployment of the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion has a total of 10,000 private soldiers and two guard posts, namely the Dragon Guard and the Tiger Guard.

For many years, the two garrisons were evenly matched in strength. However, not long ago, Ryubei selected a thousand of the best soldiers for separate training, and their strength improved by leaps and bounds, leaving Toroubei far behind.

Therefore, Ryubei looked down on Torohei, especially the thousand elites within Ryubei who were even more arrogant.

The ten men Lin Ping selected were considered the elite of the Tiger Guard. Their physical abilities were no worse than the enemy's. It was just that they trained with ordinary soldiers, which limited their development.

But their desire to become stronger never ceased; they longed to fight the strong, especially to defeat the elites of Ryubei.

Seeing that the ten people had already begun their physically demanding training, Lin Ping rushed over and shouted, "Who told you to start this?"

The group glanced at Lin Ping but remained unmoved, acting as if he didn't exist.

Snapped!

Lin Ping cracked his whip in the air, and said sarcastically, "Ridiculous! You bunch of undisciplined bastards think you can compete with the Dragon Guard? I, Lin Ping, must have been blind to have chosen these pieces of trash. I'm going to surrender right now."

Lin Ping spoke with such emotion that he actually made a gesture of surrendering.

Although they had many grievances against Lin Ping, they were now his soldiers and should obey his orders. Moreover, if they did not stop, Lin Ping would definitely surrender, and they would lose the opportunity to compete with Long Bingwei.

So the group stood obediently in place, waiting for Lin Ping to give orders.
