Chapter 1008: Not Going in a Straight Line

Sha Guanghan didn't even take a breath as he continued, "And Lord Marquis, I'm not trying to belittle you, but there's a guy with Sui Xin named Sui Dan, what a lame name, he doesn't look very old, how can he train soldiers like that?"

"Is Sui Dan not okay?" In Wan Lianxing's heart, each of his people is outstanding, including this foolish Sui Dan, and he is equally optimistic about him.

Upon hearing this, Sha Guanghan's eyes widened like a cow's, and he said in a gruff voice, "How can he do it? Look, he can't even stand straight, and he walks in a zigzag manner, not in a straight line, like a snake. How can you train soldiers like this? If you keep training, none of your soldiers will walk in a straight line."

"Hahahaha." Wan Lianxing couldn't help laughing, "He is the auxiliary, the main general is Sui Xin."

"Don't worry about whether you are the main general or the deputy general. You must be an amateur in training soldiers. I, Lao Sha, still need to train you."

"If you want soldiers, just say so. Don't belittle Sui Dan."

"I do want soldiers. I have been leading troops in battles for many years. You let me sit idle in the barracks and watch your men train. Isn't this going to kill me? If this is the case, you might as well find a hilltop for me to farm."

At this time, Sui Dan came slowly from a distance. Sha Guanghan moved his chin and said, "My Lord, do you think I am belittling him? Look at his bones. Look at his crooked walk. If I am not mistaken, he has a little snake hidden in his clothes. He doesn't look like a human at all. If he were my son and dared to walk like this, I would break his legs."

Wan Lianxing couldn't help laughing, he was used to seeing this and knew that this person was boneless, but he never considered that as a problem. After being told in such a weird way by Sha Guanghan, he took a closer look, this person also walked in what could be called a straight line, except that his straight line was a very regular wavy line.

The boneless Sui Dan came up to him and said, "My Lord, why are you all staring at me?"

"Let me see if you're walking in a straight line."

"It's a straight line. It's very straight." Sui Dan walked to the front of the carriage confidently, took out two pieces of iron, and knocked them together, making a crisp sound. "With so many pieces of iron, who will be responsible for making the weapons?"

Wan Lianxing said: "I am worried about this matter, and I want to discuss it with you. Blacksmithing is a very important matter, and it requires people with outstanding talents."

Sui Dan said, "Outstanding talents? If you leave, Sui Xin and I will be the only ones in charge here. In terms of talent, I am better than Sui Xin."

Wan Lianxing nodded seriously, as if he agreed with Sui Dan's words, and then he said nothing, showing that he was very worried.

Sui Dan was still playing with two pieces of iron. He glanced at the silent Wan Lianxing and said, "My Lord, you are not attracted to me and want me to forge iron here."

Wan Lianxing looked a little worried, "Besides you, who else can have such ability to be competent for the important task of blacksmithing?"

Sui Dan pouted, "My Lord, you are here to take me back. I don't want to stay in this Broken Road Forest anymore. I want to live in the Governor's Mansion."

Wan Lianxing said: "You and your brothers should be patient here for a while. Within a year, I will let you return to the prefectural governor's mansion."

"One year is too long."

"It may take less than a year, maybe half a year for you to return to the prefectural government. Now the treacherous ministers are in power, and they have already reported me many times to the emperor. The emperor never valued me, and now he is suspicious and begins to distrust me. I have many confidants, but there are very few people as capable as you. The only ones who can stay here for emergencies are you and Sui Xin. Of the two of you, you are the most talented. After thinking it over, I think the ironwork should be handed over to you. Sui Xin is good at training soldiers, but I don't trust him for ironwork."

After hearing this, Sui Dan threw the two pieces of iron in his hand onto the carriage and said, "Then I will take charge of the important task of forging iron. I have outstanding talents and the Marquis values ​​me. However, I also have to train the soldiers every day. Can I do two jobs at the same time?"

Wan Lianxing said: "With your ability, you can take on multiple duties, but I feel sorry for you and don't want you to be so tired. I think I will leave the training to someone else."

"Who should I give it to?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Just leave it to Sha Guanghan and his son, and let these people with no talent go and train the troops."

Sui Dan glanced at Sha Guanghan and nodded, "Alright, then where is the blacksmith?"

Wan Lianxing said: "I have brought them all as ordered. They are in the back."

Sui Dan took a look and asked, "Where did so many people come from?"

Wan Lianxing said: "The people coming from South City are all ordinary people. Don't be too harsh when employing them. Don't use whips or even beatings."

"Squeamish."

"Yes, I am a little squeamish, but did you remember everything I said?"

"Noted. I'll go and make arrangements for them."

"Go."

Sui Dan walked away slowly. Sha Guanghan, who was shocked, said to Wan Lianxing: "My Lord, this is how you employ people. No wonder this person doesn't know his own weight. What talent does he have? Aren't you fooling him?"

Wan Lianxing said: "He will fall for this trick. You should never provoke him. Be careful that he will release a snake to bite you."

"Oh my god, who are you guys? Why don't you take them away? I have many jobs, I'll do the ironwork when I have time."

"Hahahaha, it's okay. I punished him by military law some time ago. He doesn't dare to release snakes to hurt people easily anymore."

"How could you put such a dangerous person in the military camp?"

Wan Lianxing said: "You don't know, you are safe only when he is here. He walks around the barracks every day, and even snakes don't come in."

"Snakes are afraid of him?"

"Everything has its own nemesis. Snakes are afraid of a boneless creature like him. There are many snakes in this Broken Road Forest, but the grass planted around the camp is snake-repellent. Sprinkle some cement every now and then, and the snakes will stay away from here. You can stay here without worry. If you have any problems, you can discuss it with Sui Xin, or you can ask someone to write to me."

Sha Guanghan asked: "My Lord, when will you leave here?"

"Tomorrow, I've been away for more than 20 days, and my work has already piled up like a mountain."

"Isn't Yan Qilian in Fengying? Nothing will go wrong."

Wan Lianxing sighed, "The Censor has been on the road for nearly two months. He was originally sent by the Emperor to investigate you and me. Now that you have disappeared, I am the only person left for him to investigate. He cannot return without finding out something. Even if he wants to make up some charges, he must make them up for me. I will go back to meet this Censor who has come from afar."

Sha Guanghan said: "Then you have to be careful. The Censor Cao Bingxian is very difficult to deal with. You will definitely be in trouble."
