Chapter 289 The Difference Between Half a Catty and Eight Pounds The generals who had just clamored to leave were now so shocked by the scene that they stood still and dared not move. The silver-armored soldier kicked the deputy general's headless body to the ground, then raised the bloody long sword in his hand, pointed it at the people in front and shouted coldly, "The Ninth Prince said that anyone who dares to go against Manager Gu will be killed without mercy. Who of you still wants to leave now, stand up." "kill!" The silver-armored soldiers guarding the surroundings shouted in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The generals were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They quickly stood up and clamped the paper between their legs. They dared not sing any more against it. Gu Chan came back to her senses, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Alright, brother soldier, just kill one, there is no need to kill more, you can retreat first!" "Yes, Manager Gu." The silver-armored soldier said respectfully. After saying this, he sheathed his sword and stepped aside to stand quietly. Gu Chan quickly called two soldiers from the Central Plains camp to drag the deputy general's body and head away for burial. Then he shouted to everyone, "Stay standing, I'll go clean the blood stains on my body."
"Yes, Manager Gu." The generals responded obediently. Gu Chan looked at Xue Lihua and Ren Nanshan and said, "You continue to supervise them. They should be beaten! Otherwise, it will hurt more if knives fall on them than if sticks fall on them." "I understand, Manager Gu." The two nodded. Gu Chan suppressed the shock in her heart, got up and left as if nothing had happened, went to find a room, took off her bloody clothes, and then ordered the female soldier to get a set of soldier uniform that fit her and change her into it. After doing all this, she took a basin and started washing her bloody clothes. "Damn! This guy is so cruel! He chopped off my head without hesitation, and even scared me. He is trying to intimidate me! What should I do? Should I stay away from him in the future? Although I am not afraid of him with my strength, the key is that I still have more than 50 people under my command! Even if I don't care about myself, I have to take care of them!" Gu Chan was washing clothes while muttering to herself. Anyway, now she finally understood that this Ninth Prince was not only talented in both civil and military affairs, but also ruthless! She is not afraid of this kid, but she also has to consider talents like her grandfather and Ouyang Wan'er. While she was thinking this, the female soldier walked up to her and whispered, "Manager Gu, it seems that the Ninth Prince values you very much! I think if you perform well this time, you may become the Ninth Prince's potential slave in the future." "What hidden slave?" Gu Chan asked. "Just follow the Ninth Prince and work in his palace! Then, practice hard for a few years. Once you gain the Ninth Prince's trust, he can recommend you to serve as an official in other places, until you finally return to Kyoto and become a high-ranking official in the court!" the female soldier explained. "..."Gu Chan. Dry! She understood now, because she had seen those scenes played out in costume dramas before when she was in modern times. Among such potential slaves, the most famous one seems to be Lord Li Wei. But she is not a man, but a woman! She can't be a potential slave, and she doesn't want to be a high official at all. She can open a clinic to make some money and live a happy life every day. Why does she want to cause trouble? Thinking of this, Gu Chan couldn't help but smile and said, "It's not easy to be an official, I'd better just be a veterinarian, and then slowly improve my strength in the future, and it would be nice to be a master of alchemy." "Manager Gu, people go to high places and water flows to low places. The opportunity you have now is something others can't even ask for, so you must cherish it." The female soldier advised. "Okay, I know what I'm doing. You don't need to say anything more. Just help me wash the clothes and hang them out to dry." Gu Chan waved her hand and said. The female soldier stopped trying to persuade her, and walked over to sit beside Gu Chan and helped her wash the clothes. Soon the two of them finished washing the clothes, and the female soldier took the clothes out to dry, while Gu Chan went to the recliner in front of the command building and lay down to rest.
It was dusk in the afternoon. The generals stood where they were, their entire bodies numb. After standing for an entire afternoon, their faces were already pale, their lips were chapped, and they looked as if they had just died. Gu Chan looked at the sun in the west and felt that the time was almost up, so she stood up and said, "Okay, the military posture is over. Everyone, rest here for an hour, eat, drink water, and go to the toilet. After an hour, we will start the second training." "Oh! I can finally rest." "Oh my god! I've been a soldier for so many years, but this is the first time I've had such a hard time." "It's better to fight in the battlefield! It's better to die in battle than in military training." All the generals fell to the ground, complaining in pain one after another. Gu Chan laughed when she heard this. This was exactly the effect she wanted. She had to let these people know that military training was more painful than going to the battlefield. At this time Xue Lihua and Ren Nanshan came to Gu Chan. Xue Lihua said softly, "Gu Chan, why don't you just let everyone rest! We'll start training again tomorrow morning. They've been exhausted all day. If this continues, they might not be able to hold on!" "I think so too. After kneeling for a whole morning and standing for a whole afternoon, if the scolding continues, they will probably lose half their lives." Ren Nanshan added. Gu Chan looked up at the top floor of the command building and said with a cold face, "It is precisely because of the incompetence of these people that the 100,000 soldiers died in vain. The purpose of the Ninth Prince is very simple, which is to temper their will and let them know that fighting is not a joke. If we let them go easily now, will the enemy let them go easily when they go to the battlefield?" "This..." Xue Lihua and Ren Nanshan were speechless. Gu Chan glared at the two and said coldly, "You should also go and rest quickly and recover your strength. We still have a 10-kilometer training tonight, so don't relax." "Ah? What ten-kilometer march?" Xue Lihua was puzzled. "Oh! According to your words, it means running twenty miles." Gu Chan quickly converted. Xue Lihua and Ren Nanshan looked at each other, both of them widened their eyes in shock. Ren Nanshan was surprised and said, "Running twenty miles at night, how far do you have to run? The route must be determined first, right?" "Just run around Zhongyuan City, starting from the gate of Zhongyuan Camp, run around the four districts of Zhongyuan City in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, and finally return to the gate of the camp." Gu Chan made a prompt decision and planned the route. "Then this is at least twenty or thirty miles, how can it be only twenty miles?" Ren Nanshan said with his hands spread out. Gu Chan chuckled, "Who cares? Just tell them it's twenty miles. Whoever dies from running deserves it." Xue Lihua and Ren Nanshan were stunned on the spot after hearing this, both thinking in their hearts, the Ninth Prince is cruel, but Gu Chan is no weaker than him! If we really talk about how ruthless these two people are, the difference is probably about the same. (End of this chapter)
