Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

An hour later, the sky became completely dark.

At this time, all the generals were still lying in the square, and most of them were already fast asleep.

Gu Chan ordered the female soldiers to bring a gong and start beating it to wake everyone up.

Tian Ying propped himself up and said weakly, "Manager Gu, please consider it as a plea from me. Let us go back and rest. If we continue like this, we will be seriously injured if not dead!"

"It's impossible to rest. Get up now and start running." Gu Chan shouted coldly.

"Oh my god! Running?"

"We have to kneel in the morning, stand in the afternoon, and not be allowed to rest at night. We have to run. Are they trying to kill us?"

"That silver-armored soldier, come here and chop me up. I can't stand it anymore."

The generals wanted to die. They kept complaining and lay on the ground refusing to get up.

Gu Chan's face darkened, and she raised her little hand and waved, "Come on, satisfy them. Whoever wants to die, go and chop him off."

"Yes, Manager Gu." The silver-armored soldier responded coldly, drew the long sword from his waist and walked towards the crowd.

The generals no longer dared to complain. They were so scared that they quickly stood up and stood straight like they did in the afternoon.

Gu Chan laughed and said, "You guys are really mean. I have to use force on you. I am convinced."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xue Lihua and Ren Nanshan and instructed, "You two will ride your horses in front to lead the way. Starting from the entrance of Zhongyuan Camp, run around Zhongyuan City and finally return to the entrance of the camp. This 10-kilometer... or 20-mile training session is over."

"Yes, Manager Gu." Xue Lihua and Ren Nanshan responded in unison.

Then the two men followed her instructions and each rode a fast horse to lead the way.

Tian Ying and others had no choice but to line up and run slowly behind the two men.

Gu Chan rode a fast horse and followed behind everyone to supervise.

After running out of the camp, Gu Chan shouted from behind, "Come on, follow me, shout, ten kilometers! I love you!"

"Ten kilometers! I love you!" the generals shouted in unison.

"I'll miss you so much if I don't run for a day!" Gu Chan shouted again.

"If you don't run for one day, I'll miss you to death!" The generals shouted in unison.

The crowd started the ten-kilometer march while shouting slogans. For a moment, the shouts of hundreds of people alarmed the entire Zhongyuan City, causing the people in the city to come out of their houses to watch the excitement.

In the meeting hall on the top floor of the command building.

At this time, Xuanyuan Qing was eating a delicious dinner accompanied by two silver-armored female generals.

And these two silver-armored female generals were both deputy generals of his five thousand silver-armored cavalry. The one sitting on his left was named Qingluan, and the one sitting on his right was named Huofeng. Not only did they look alike, but their heights and body shapes were also similar. They were a pair of beautiful twins.

They have been serving Xuanyuan Qing since they were young and are only three years older than him. It can be said that these two can be said to be both his godsisters and his two personal maids.

All in all, the relationship between the three is very close, and is by no means comparable to an ordinary master-servant relationship.

After eating for a while, the three put down their bowls and chopsticks. Qingluan and Huofeng each poured a glass of wine, clinked their glasses in front of Xuanyuan Qing, and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Wow! The rice wine in Zhongyuan City is really delicious."

"Yes! Not only is it sweet and delicious, it also has a unique aroma. It seems that this trip is the right one."

After drinking this glass of wine, they both had red faces and said that they enjoyed it very much.

Xuanyuan Qing was drooling with greed and quietly reached out to grab the wine jug, wanting to pour himself a drink.

Qingluan reached out and snatched the wine pot first, staring at him and scolding, "If you dare to drink, I will tell the master when I get back and let her punish you with solitary confinement."

"You are not an adult yet. The emperor and the master have said that you are not allowed to drink." Huo Feng also said.

"My two good sisters, can I just have a taste? At most give me a drop and I'll just taste it." Xuanyuan Qing said with a grin.

Qingluan and Huofeng ignored him and poured themselves some wine without giving him any.

Xuanyuan Qing sighed helplessly and could only change the subject, "Why was it so noisy downstairs just now? What was Gu Chan doing?"

"I took the generals on a running training march. They said we were going to run around Zhongyuan City and come back. It's called a 10-kilometer training march." Qingluan said.

"Ten kilometers training?" Xuanyuan Qing looked confused.

Huo Feng laughed strangely and said, "I asked the people below, and Manager Gu told them that ten kilometers is equal to twenty miles of land, so we have to run twenty miles for training."

"Where is he from? Why do many of the words he uses sound so new? I've never heard them before." Xuanyuan Qing said, scratching his head.

"Maybe he has been to the Western Regions, or came from the Western Regions." Qingluan said indifferently.

When Xuanyuan Qing heard her words, he stopped thinking about it and said seriously, "Forget about him. Let him help me deal with these idiots. As for the military pay, how did you guys handle it this afternoon?"

"All the rich people in Zhongyuan City are crying poor. Who would be willing to pay money to support you in the war?"

"That's right. This afternoon we visited the three major families in Zhongyuan City one after another. The heads of these three families all looked embarrassed. If they were all like this, what else should others say?"

Qingluan and Huofeng complained unhappily.

Obviously, after the previous defeat of the three brothers of the Tian family, there is not much money left in the Zhongyuan camp to support the war. The most important thing is that before coming, Xuanyuan Qing had boasted in front of his father, the emperor, that he did not need the court to provide military pay, and that Zhongyuan City was so rich that he would come here to raise military pay on his own.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that his idea is not very mature, otherwise he would not have to drag on the war.

Qingluan sighed and said, "It's all your fault for being so arrogant. Before you came here, the emperor wanted to give you military pay, but you refused to let him. Now you know what's going on, right? Without military pay, even the warplanes have to be delayed."

"Since ancient times, food and fodder have been sent before troops move out. Now we don't even have the money to buy food and fodder, let alone defeat the enemy and recover the border." Huo Feng also said helplessly.

Xuanyuan Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, things will be better if you take it slow. Let's have some fun first. When Gu Chan comes back from training, we'll talk to her about it. Maybe she can help me find a way to get the military pay!"

"I think it's bad. I'm afraid his reputation won't be accepted by many wealthy people in Zhongyuan City."

"Yes, he is now holding the Imperial Sword given by the Imperial Envoy, so everyone will be polite to him. If he didn't have this Imperial Sword, who would care about him?"

Qingluan and Huofeng said with disdain.

From their perspective, they really disliked Gu Chan. Who made Xuanyuan Qing value Gu Chan so much?

This of course made them feel very unhappy with Gu Chan.
