The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Wang Xin was just an outsider and knew very little about the internal situation of the Hongxing Army.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes were flickering, and his eyeballs were moving around.

If Duan Tianyang alone followed him to join the young master, it would obviously be a drop in the bucket and would be of no substantial help.

To put it bluntly, Duan Tianyang himself does not have much weight. What is truly valuable is the Hongxing Army he leads, the 200,000 elite soldiers.

At this moment, Wang Xin was facing a difficult problem: Yi Shuirou was also in Xiguan. If Duan Tianyang wanted to lead his troops to Xinyang City, this would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the action.

He pondered for a long time, and finally asked: "Where is the princess living now?"

Duan Tianyang raised his hand and pointed to the ground, which surprised Wang Xin.

He looked around and asked in astonishment, "The princess lives in Lord Duan's city guard mansion?"

"That's right." Duan Tianyang replied.

Wang Xin pondered for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he leaned forward slightly, tapped the ground with his fingers, and asked in a low voice: "Master Duan, are you sure that the princess can stay in the City Guard House for a long time and not go out again?"

The fierce light flashing in Wang Xin's eyes made Duan Tianyang instantly understand his intention - he wanted him to get rid of Yi Shuirou.

What a vicious thought...

Duan Tianyang reminded softly: "Yi Shuirou is not only the princess, but also the palace master of Linghua Palace. Her cultivation has reached the realm of breaking through the void, and she is surrounded by many experts. Even without help, it would be difficult to kill her. I don't think I'm sure, and neither are my brothers. If we fail, you and I will have to sell salted duck eggs."

Wang Xin spoke slowly and calmly: "Master Duan can host a banquet for her, try to get her drunk, and then find an opportunity to act."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to Duan Tianyang's side, leaning close to his ear, with a smile on his face: "This place of Xiguan is your territory, sir. Even if the princess has superb martial arts, as long as you are willing, she will not escape death. Unless, sir, you don't want to take her life."

Duan Tianyang sat firmly on the stone bench and met Wang Xin's eyes: "I know what to do."

He stood up resolutely, smiled at Wang Xin, and said gently: "Mr. Wang, you have worked hard on the journey. Go and rest first. If someone asks about your identity, just say that you are a friend I met in Xuanhuang City."

Hearing this, Wang Xin smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Master Duan. I know what I am doing."

That night, outside Yi Shuirou's room, a disciple from Linghua Palace suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Before he could even knock on the door, it opened quietly.

The disciple quickly handed over a letter, and then, accompanied by a crisp sound of a door closing, his figure disappeared into the void in an instant, just as he had come.

The next morning, Duan Tianyang and Yi Shuirou went to the military training ground on the outskirts of the city.

The military training ground is adjacent to the Hongxing Army’s camp. It is so large that it is difficult to see the edge of the other side when standing on one side.

The generals of the Hongxing Army had already heard that Yi Shuirou would come to observe the training in person, so Zhao Xuan specially mobilized 100,000 elite soldiers and lined up in the military training ground to wait for them.

Currently, the Hongxing Army has four deputy commanders, Zhao Xuan, Xiao Fang, Guan Hu and Fang Quan, each with their own responsibilities.

However, Fang Quan was busy with the military farming in Dongguan and had no time to take care of military affairs; Xiao Fang and Guan Hu, lacking experience in commanding troops, mainly assisted Zhao Xuan.

Therefore, among the four deputy legion commanders, Zhao Xuan is the one at the helm.

When Duan Tianyang and Yi Shuirou entered the military field, Zhao Xuan stepped forward quickly, saluted, and said loudly: "Princess, sir!"

Duan Tianyang smiled without saying anything and just waved his hand in response. Then he swept his eyes across the field and saw the dense black army formation, like an endless ocean, with a hundred thousand soldiers lined up waiting, with a magnificent momentum.

The ancients said: "When there are more than ten thousand people, there is no end; when there are more than one hundred thousand people, the earth and the sky are connected."

This is true, and this is exactly what we see before our eyes.

Despite the large number of people, the military formation in the school military field was well-organized and their positions were uniform, demonstrating the Hongxing Army's rigorous military appearance and strict discipline.

After a careful review, Duan Tianyang was deeply satisfied with Zhao Xuan's military management.

He turned to look at Yi Shuirou beside him, and noticed that she also showed an expression of amazement on her face, and a sense of pride surged in his heart.

He gently waved his hand to Yi Shuirou and said with a smile: "Princess, why don't we go to the stands, where the view is wider."

Right in front of the school military field, there stands a large grandstand about ten meters high. Standing on it, you can have a panoramic view of the whole field.

There were only two seats in the stands. The two sat down one after another, and their view became wider. The 100,000 Hongxing soldiers in the school military field were arranged in the most basic square formation, which was magnificent.

As the cornerstone of military deployment, the layout of the phalanx can often reflect the military talent of the commander.

Yi Shuirou nodded secretly, and her eyes involuntarily turned to Zhao Xuan at the edge of the stands, secretly admiring his handsome appearance.

She gently leaned over to Duan Tianyang and asked in a low voice: "Who is this general...?"

"This is General Zhao Xuanzhao, one of the deputy commanders of our Hongxing Army." Duan Tianyang explained with a smile, "He was originally a soldier of the Second Corps of Xuanhuang City, and later joined Zhou Baiyuan's rebel army, but eventually returned to the right path and joined our Hongxing Army."

"So that's how it is..." Yi Shuirou nodded her head lightly.

Zhao Xuan stood at the edge of the stands, staring at the square formation below, then took the commander's flag from the general beside him and held it high.

After a moment, the flag in his hand waved gently in the air. The eagerly awaited messengers in the army caught Zhao Xuan's signal and immediately dispersed in the center of the square formation. They galloped through the army formation and shouted loudly: "Change to a circular formation!"

In the blink of an eye, the 100,000-strong army changed from a square formation to a circular formation in just a moment, which shows that the Hongxing Army is well-trained and is no ordinary force.

The several changes in the Hongxing Army's formation have allowed Yi Shuirou to have a preliminary assessment of its overall combat effectiveness.

In terms of overall military coordination and the use of formations, although the Hongxing Army was slightly inferior to the National Army, it was not far behind.

In terms of individual combat capability, most of the Hongxing Army are from Xiguan, where the people are tough and known for their fearlessness of death, something that even the National Army may not be able to match.

Because of this, the loyalty and stability of these 200,000 Hongxing troops are particularly critical. Once they waver and become rebels, it will be a devastating blow to the imperial court...

Yi Shuirou secretly swore in her heart that no matter what the cost, she would ensure that the Hongxing Army and the court were united.

She narrowed her eyes and glanced at Duan Tianyang beside her, who was concentrating on the changes in the Hongxing Army's formation.

Even though he was the captain, such a spectacular scene was rare and the experience of being there in person was completely different from what he saw on modern TV.

He watched with great interest, with excitement flashing in his eyes. He clapped and laughed from time to time, and praised repeatedly.

Yi Shuirou retracted her gaze, leaned slightly towards Duan Tianyang, and asked casually, "Master Duan left in a hurry yesterday. I wonder what happened?"
