"Let's get started. Lin Xiqi said to Hong Shangrong.

Hong Shangrong nodded, and then waved his hand.

The ten phalanxes immediately divided into two teams and began to charge, fighting.

It's part of the training, a complete simulation of what it's like on the battlefield.

"This is too much, isn't it?" Renyue said in surprise as he watched the fierce battle in the field.

These soldiers were all real swords and guns, and many of them had several cuts on their bodies, and their robes were stained red with blood.

"That's the real thing. After Hong Shangrong heard Renyue's words, he couldn't help but say, "There is no overdoing it on the battlefield. If someone dies in the middle of training, it can only be said that his strength is not enough. Even if such a person goes to the battlefield, it will be difficult for him to survive. If you want to survive on the battlefield, you must first survive here. ”

Hong Shangrong has a hand in commanding the army and training, but he didn't dare to do it before.

This kind of training is not something that anyone can bear.

The damage was too great, too many dead and disabled, and he simply couldn't bear it.

But now it's different, Lin Xiqi provided exercises, so that these soldiers can practice, and they can recover faster.

There are also various healing pills, which can ensure that the disability and death of the soldiers are minimized.

It is precisely with Lin Xiqi's support that he has such confidence, and every training is completely in accordance with the standards of the battlefield.

Lin Xiqi and Hong Shangrong explained and asked him to be ready to fight at any time and then returned to the county office.

When they arrived at the study, Lin Xiqi and Renyue were left.

"What are you trying to do, with so many people?" asked Renyue.

"Nature is guarding our territory. Lin Xiqi said, "The affairs of the rivers and lakes, the Floating Cloud Sect is now gradually on the right track, and the imperial court has to keep up." ”

"I know, but you have made such a thousand people, all of them with extraordinary strength, and such an army is pulled out, with one enemy and ten, tens of thousands of people are not opponents. Renyue said, "It's amazing, but how many silver taels and resources do you have to spend?"

"There is no money to be made again. Lin Xiqi said, "I have already ordered someone to set up a business, and now that we have these business channels, at least for the time being, we don't have to worry about silver and two anymore." How is 1,000 people enough? We have to add more people. ”

After seeing Renyue's contemplative and silent appearance, Lin Xiqi said: "Eighth Senior Brother, Sandao County is too small, we must at least take Dunhuang County." ”

"Alas, I understand your thoughts, but the Seven Star Sect will not sit idly by. Renyue sighed.

"That's right, they won't let us go. Lin Xiqi nodded, "But we can still use some means to make him notice later." For example, I advanced first in terms of imperial court power. The change of power in the imperial court may attract the attention of the Seven Star Sect, but after all, this is not a force in the rivers and lakes, and they will not be so sensitive. It is safer than the Floating Cloud Sect immediately replacing the Quicksand Gate. Now that the Floating Cloud Sect has really jumped out and killed the Quicksand Gate, the Seven Star Sect will definitely not be able to tolerate us. Therefore, for the time being, the Floating Cloud Sect can only lie dormant and secretly gather strength. Wait until our strength is enough, and then we will make a move. At that time, we will have a general trend in Dunhuang County, even if the Seven Star Sect wants to move us, we will have to weigh our own losses. He couldn't afford it. ”

"After Dunhuang County, your target is Liangzhou?" asked Renyue.

"Eighth Senior Brother, are you scared?" Lin Xiqi asked with a smile.

"Hehe, am I afraid?" Renyue said with a smile, "As long as our senior brothers work together, nothing can be done? You first seek the position of the county guard of Dunhuang County, do you want me to kill Yao Qile? In this way, you can compete for the position of the new county guard." ”

"No, you can't. Lin Xiqi shook his head and said, "I just took over the post of magistrate of Sandao County, even if there is a vacancy in the position of county guard, it will not be my turn." Besides, don't underestimate Yao Qile. ”

"Oh, what's the point?" asked Renyue with some curiosity.

"Yao Qile should have something to do with a certain prince in the capital. Lin Xiqi said.

"How many princes?" asked Renyue.

Lin Xiqi shook his head and said, "I don't know for the time being, he has been in Dunhuang County for many years. Relying on the advantage of the border, he secretly had some illegal transactions with Hou Yuan, earning a large amount of gold and silver. These were finally delivered to the backstage of the capital. In order to win people's hearts, those princes spend a lot of money every year. ”

"In this way, Yao Qile is still an important figure, and it is not easy to move. Renyue said.

According to Lin Xiqi's meaning, Yao Qile is a source of wealth.

If you move such a person, it will inevitably involve a certain prince in the capital.

"It's more important, after all, control a source of wealth, if this place is suddenly cut off, I'm afraid the people over there won't give up. Lin Xiqi said, "So to deal with Yao Qile, you still need to think long-term." The position of the county guard, I definitely want it, when exactly will I want it, continue to wait and see. I think that this time when the 'Treasure of the Former Dynasty' and the Later Yuan invaded, I should be able to find some opportunities. ”

"Well, you've figured it out, I don't have anything to say, and if you need any help, just call me. Renyue nodded.

He knew that now that many things had been arranged for his little junior brother, he didn't need to worry about it at all.

"Of course I'll be looking for you if there's something, but since you're here, don't be lazy. Lin Xiqi laughed and said.

His laughter stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Renyue was shocked, and his face showed a look of wariness.

"Don't be nervous, your own people. Lin Xiqi said, "Come in." ”

As he spoke, the door to the study was pushed open, and a figure walked in.

When Renyue saw this person, he was stunned.

He knew that the person who came in was the shopkeeper Du of the Sifang Inn.

Renyue only knew his surname Du, and he didn't know what his specific name was.

Lin Xiqi let him take care of the Sifang Inn, and Renyue could also know in his heart that this Du shopkeeper was not simple.

But now it seems that this is not simple and far beyond my imagination.

When the shopkeeper Du was outside the door just now, he didn't notice it at all.

Anyway, my strength is not weak, but even so, I can't detect the approach of the other party.

There is only one explanation for this, that is, the strength of this Du shopkeeper is too profound, and he can't realize the existence of the other party at all.

"My lord, Ren Baxia. Du Fu rushed in and bowed to Lin Xiqi, and by the way, he also arched his hand towards Renyue.

Renyue didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the salute.

This shopkeeper Du may obey the orders of the little junior brother, but his strength is worthy of his respect, of course he will not put on a show.

"Formally introduce, Du shopkeeper, Du Fuchong. Fuyun Sect Ren Yue Ren Eight Heroes. Lin Xiqi introduced.

Renyue silently recited the name in his heart, and then his eyes lit up suddenly, staring at Lin Xiqi.

"That's right, that's what you think it is. Lin Xiqi saw Renyue's thoughts and said with a smile, "Du Fuchong, ranked thirty-eighth on the Dragon List, known as the 'Cupola Stick'. ”
