It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

Lu Xingchen continued, "If you are slow to draw your sword on the battlefield, you may be the one who dies in the blink of an eye."

"You should carry at least three knives with you at all times: a waist knife, a leg knife, and a knife that you often use to kill people."

"One more knife means one more chance to survive."

After Lu Xingchen finished speaking, she ordered two more soldiers to try to attack her, and then she fought back.

"As long as we are fast enough, we don't need to block his knife and can directly hit his throat or heart."

"We must go straight to Huanglong."

"The more you practice in peacetime, the more chances you have of surviving on the battlefield."

Lu Xingchen does not yet have a complete set of swordsmanship for these soldiers to practice.

The killing skills she had learned in her previous life were not practical on these soldiers.

Because all of her killing skills are complementary to basic skills, and require consideration of hearing, brainpower, and speed of footwork.

Lu Xingchen's abilities shocked these soldiers.

Even Zhang Fan looked at her in surprise.

"Okay, practice hard." Lu Xingchen said.

What Lu Xingchen taught them were just some concepts, and it depended on the soldiers themselves to what extent they could comprehend them.

"Young Master, when did your Kung Fu become so powerful? And it seems to be a little different from what we practice. We grew up together and practiced martial arts together. How did you become so powerful?" Zhang Fan chased after him and asked curiously.

Zhang Fan finally thought about it.

"Of course, I figured these out myself." Lu Xingchen replied.

"How did you figure it out?" Zhang Fan asked curiously.

"Just like that, bang, I figured it out." After Lu Xingchen said this, he walked forward quickly.

Zhang Fan had a bewildered look on his face. He stretched out his fingers in all directions and muttered, "Bang, I got it all at once."

"How did you realize it?"

Ling Xiao scolded Zhou Shu for a whole day and night. Zhou Shu was scolded so much that he almost hanged himself, and he almost prepared to lead his troops out of the city to fight Ling Xiao several times.

Fortunately, they were stopped by the people below.

Ling Xiao cursed until he was exhausted, his voice was hoarse and he couldn't even speak, so he led his troops back to Xing County.

Ling Xiao returned to the county town and saw Lu Xingchen. He called out in a hoarse voice, "Young Master..."

"I asked you to scold others, why did you scold yourself like this?" Lu Xingchen said with heartache.

Ling Xiao smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, Master. It will be fine in two days."

"Don't keep your voice like this in the future, or you won't even be able to find a wife." Feixue teased with a smile.

"I won't marry a wife. I'll just follow the young master." Ling Xiao stared at Feixue and raised his chin.

"Okay, talk less, go back and rest, stop talking, and protect your throat. If it really becomes like this... I should give you the nickname "Duck Voice." Lu Xingchen said with a smile.

Ling Xiao was so frightened that his face turned pale. He could accept that he couldn't get a wife, but he couldn't accept being called a duck voice.

That is something unique to eunuchs.

Wei Hu, Lu Feng and Ling Xiao came back at the same time.

It was obvious that they were also rushing back exhausted, their hair was messy from the wind and their faces were covered with dust.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Lu Xingchen saw the two people walking in quickly and stood up from his chair.

When they saw each other again, both of them were covered in dust and said something with concern.

"There is no rush for this moment."

"Go wash up and change your clothes first."

"I was afraid that you would be waiting anxiously, so I rushed back. Okay, let's change clothes and eat something first, and then come over to talk to you." Lu Feng said.

Lu Xingchen agreed and told them not to worry.

She developed a habit in her previous life that as long as she slept for four hours a night, she would be fully alert and energetic the whole day.

This time she is also practicing this skill.

And you should also develop the habit of sleeping anytime and anywhere.

Because in the future I will lead soldiers to fight, there will be forced marches, and there will be times when I need to sleep anywhere.

Only when people get a good rest can their minds be clear.

It is said that Hitler, the initiator of World War II, could sleep for three minutes. And as long as he slept for three hours a day, he would have unlimited energy.

Wei Hu and Lu Feng washed, changed their clothes, and ate something before coming to Lu Xingchen's office in the county government.

"What is the situation in Teng County?" Lu Xingchen asked.

"Very miserable..." Lu Feng replied.

"A few years ago, when the last county magistrate was still in office, my adoptive father and I went there once. Teng County was still very prosperous, not worse than our Xing County."

“But now it’s like a ghost town.”

Wei Hu nodded, "We didn't see many civilians when we passed through the city."

"Even the vendors selling goods on the street were nowhere to be seen. There were only a few beggars lying there half-dead in the sun."

"Also, Teng County's defenses are very lax."

Lu Feng nodded and continued, "When we left, the soldiers guarding the city were gambling on the tower."

"I feel like their secret and visible sentries are just for show."

"In addition, as we walked along and entered the territory of Teng County, many villages were deserted, and the fields were uncultivated and overgrown with weeds..."

"The fields in Teng County are very fertile, but large tracts of them are left uncultivated..."

Lu Feng showed a regretful expression.

"Look at the people, villages and fields in Xing County, and then look at those in Teng County... They are two completely different worlds."

"Young master, let me take some soldiers and horses to raid Teng County tonight. I will definitely take it down in one fell swoop." Wei Hu suddenly stood up and said passionately.

Lu Feng looked at Wei Hu in surprise. He didn't expect that this kid would actually want to grab the head bow.

"Young Master, I can go too." Lu Feng also stood up and said.

Lu Xingchen looked at the two people with relief.

"It is a blessing for Xing County that my two brothers have such courage and bravery."

"It's just that we are too weak now and can't afford any risk."

“If we fall into Zhao Long’s trap, the consequences will be disastrous.”

"Zhao Long is different from Zhang Feihu and others after all."

“The county seat of Teng County is also different from the mountain village.”

"A rash attack is not the best strategy."

"Besides, we don't know how many troops Tengxian has."

Lu Xingchen spoke calmly and raised his hand to signal the two to sit down.

"The most important thing is whether our soldiers are ready to fight a siege battle?"

"After all, attacking a city is different from launching a surprise attack."

Wei Hu and Lu Feng nodded slowly. They also felt that they were a little impulsive just now.

"I have asked Zhang Fan to train the soldiers in siege tactics. You should join the training tomorrow."

Wei Hu and Lu Feng agreed.

"By the way, when is the wedding of Zhao Long and Miss Zhou Er scheduled?" Lu Xingchen asked.

"It's scheduled for the end of this month." Lu Feng replied.

"When Zhao Long and his brothers saw the gold, silver and jewelry we brought over, their eyes widened. It's obvious that they are very poor now."

"They completely let down their guard against us."

"But I noticed that one of the advisors seemed to remain calm. I wonder if Zhao Long will listen to his advice? He may not believe what we say."
