The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Wan Lianxing asked: "Who else did he train?"

Sui Dan said, "Humph, who else is being trained? Just Duan Lu Linmian, everyone must be trained. It's fine to train our soldiers, but he also has to train those who forge weapons. They have to forge iron, and practice with sticks, swords and guns. How can they handle it? He almost trained the families of the ironworkers as well. What's even more unbearable is that they don't allow us to drink casually. Our people took great pains to get so much good wine in for the brothers, isn't it for everyone to drink, but he doesn't allow us to move it, and just locks it in the warehouse, letting everyone sip."

Wan Lianxing said: "We are in the period of using troops. We have only 40,000 trained soldiers in our hands. If we want to fight against the Southern Yan Kingdom, it is far from enough. We must have an orthodox general like Sha Guanghan. We can't accomplish anything by ourselves."

Sui Dan's clothes moved a little, and it was obvious that there was a snake hidden in his arms. He reached out his hand through his clothes to soothe the running little snake and complained: "No matter how short of people we are, you can't train us like this. He always tells me that soldiers should walk in a straight line, walk in a straight line, and be as strong as steel. What does he mean? Who among us brothers doesn't walk in a straight line, who isn't strong? He's the only one with the loudest voice and the worst temper. If you hadn't said he was useful, I would have let the snake bite him."

It's obvious that Sha Guanghan just can't stand Sui Dan. Sui Dan is spineless and doesn't follow a straight path. Unfortunately, Sui Dan doesn't realize it. However, no one will expose this because Sui Dan has been like this since he met him.

Sui Xin said, "Sui Dan, you are done now, Madam Sha is so good to you. She didn't call you when there was good food and drink, but you acted like a fool and went there to die. It's really true that if you eat well, the whole family will not be hungry."

Sui Dan said: "I didn't say that Madam Sha was bad. I said that Sha Guanghan and his son were taking things too far."

Sui Xin said, "I just told you not to drink casually. What they said makes sense. Why drink in the barracks? They are indeed better at leading troops than us, and their formations are more sophisticated than ours. Be humble when you should, and don't insist on your own stubborn ideas. If you can't listen to others' opinions, you are just being stubborn and confined."

Wan Lianxing patted Suixin on the shoulder and said with relief: "Suixin understands me."

Sui Xin chuckled, "My Lord, you should have let me out earlier. I may not be wasting my talent staying in the Broken Road Forest, but I am no less capable than Sui Ming in arranging troops and fighting. I will definitely be able to serve you, my Lord, if I come out."

Wan Lianxing said, "You are all good. You are all my eyes, ears, confidants, and right-hand men. Come on, let's go in and talk. I will arrange for the kitchen to prepare a feast to welcome you all."

"My Lord, it doesn't matter whether we attend the wedding or not. When are we going to attack the Southern Yan Kingdom? The brothers have been holding back for a long time, and everyone is eager to fight and kill the enemy."

Wan Lianxing said: "Brothers, please be patient and hold your troops for now. We still need to wait for the right time and take action when the time is right. This way, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

At the wine table, Sui Dan stared at the sumptuous dishes on the table with wide eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed: "My Lord, the food here is too good! You even have salted duck eggs."

Wan Lianxing smiled slightly and said casually: "There are many ducks raised in the paddy fields at home. The most abundant thing is duck eggs. There are too many to eat. I heard that if they are not made into salted duck eggs, they will go bad."

Sui Dan swallowed his saliva, turned his eyes to the red, greasy crabs on the plate, and asked curiously, "Where did you get these crabs from?"

Wan Lianxing replied proudly, "Hahaha, these crabs are also raised in paddy fields. They don't need to be taken care of too much on a daily basis, let alone fed. Just scatter the crab seedlings in the paddy fields, and the crabs will grow fat in just half a year."

After hearing this, Sui Dan couldn't help but complain: "My Lord, you have so many good things here, why don't you send some to Duanlu Forest? I haven't eaten crabs for a year or two, and I almost don't know what they taste like. Fortunately, I shamelessly followed you here, otherwise I wouldn't know you were eating crabs here."

Wan Lianxing glanced at Sui Dan and said, "You just ate a few less crabs. How have we treated you badly in other aspects of your expenses?"

Sui Dan said, "Your Majesty, I like to eat crabs. I told you in advance that I will not go back after I come out."

Wan Lianxing nodded slightly: "No one is chasing you away, but you have to take good care of the snake in your clothes and don't let it hurt our people."

When Sui Dan heard that Wan Lianxing had kept him, he happily responded, "It's very well behaved and never runs around."

Having said that, there are still many people who are afraid of snakes. The one who fears snakes the most is Huang Chenming. Whenever he recalls the time when Sui Dan used a snake to drive him away and his own horrific experience of being swallowed by the huge python, Huang Chenming still feels creepy and frightened.

Therefore, after three rounds of drinking, Huang Chenming politely stood up, bowed to everyone and said, "My Lord, Chenming is not good at drinking. I am a little tipsy now, so I would like to leave first."

Upon hearing this, Wan Lianxing could not help but cast his gaze towards the table in front of Huang Chenming. After looking him up and down, he began to persuade him to stay, "Mingming, you haven't even touched the food and wine on the table. Since you can't hold your liquor, why don't you eat a few more bites of food? You know, the kitchen has brought out all the decent food and drinks today."

However, Huang Chenming shook his head and politely declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord. It's just that it's dark tonight, and the sky is dotted with stars, shining like pearls. I suddenly want to go outside the tent to observe the changes in the celestial phenomena. I hope that Lord can agree to let me go."

At this moment, Sui Dan raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking and disdainful smile on his face, and said: "Oh! Look at your ability, it's ok to be able to tell fortunes and recite a few scriptures, but now you can even observe celestial phenomena! Do you want to cultivate yourself into a monster?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Lianxing frowned and his face darkened instantly. He shouted at Sui Dan, "Sui Dan, shut up! Observing the celestial phenomena is not a trivial matter. It is a serious matter. If it weren't for the fact that I am welcoming you guys, I would also observe the celestial phenomena with Ming Ming."

However, in reality, this so-called observation of the celestial phenomena was just an excuse that Huang Chenming made up to take the opportunity to leave. Wan Lianxing knew this very well, because these people in front of him were his subordinates and confidants who had followed him for many years, except Huang Chenming, who had followed him for the shortest time.
