Chapter 290 Ten kilometers! I love you!
An hour later, the sky turned 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 banging it to wake everyone up.
Tian Ying sat up and said weakly, "Shopkeeper Gu, just think of me as begging you, let us go back and rest. If this continues, we will lose three layers of skin even if we die!"
"It's impossible to rest. Get up and run and train now." Gu Chan said coldly.
"Oh my god! Are you still running?"
"Kneeling all morning, standing all afternoon, not allowed to rest at night, and still running, is this going to cost us our lives?"
"That silver-armored soldier, come here and chop me down. I can't stand it anymore."
All the generals wanted to die. While they kept complaining, they stayed on the ground unable to get up.
Gu Chan's face darkened, and she raised her little hand and waved, "Come, satisfy them, and chop him down if he wants to die."
"Yes, Shopkeeper Gu." The silver-armored soldier responded coldly, pulled out the long knife from his waist and walked towards the crowd.
The generals no longer dared to complain. They were so frightened that they quickly stood up and stood upright as they had done in the afternoon.
Gu Chan chuckled and said, "You guys are really mean, I have to give you a hard time, and I'm convinced."
After saying that, she looked at Xue Lihua and Ren Nanshan and ordered, "You two will lead the way on horseback. Starting from the gate of the Central Plains Camp, run a circle around the Central Plains City and finally return to the gate of the Camp. This time it will be ten kilometers... That’s the end of the twenty-mile training session.”
"Yes, Shopkeeper Gu." Xue Lihua and Ren Nanshan agreed in unison.
Then the two of them followed her instructions, each riding a fast horse to lead the way.
Tian Ying and others had no choice but to form a formation and slowly run forward behind the two of them.
Gu Chan rode on a fast horse and followed everyone to supervise.
After running out of the camp, Gu Chan shouted from behind, "Come on, everyone shout after me, ten kilometers away! I love you!"
"Ten kilometers away! I love you!" all the generals shouted in unison.
"If I don't run away for a day, I will miss you to death!" Gu Chan shouted again.
"If you don't run for a day, I will miss you to death!" All the generals shouted in unison again.
Everyone started the ten-kilometer training while shouting slogans. Suddenly, the shouts of hundreds of people directly shocked 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 female generals in silver armor.
And these two silver-armored female generals are two lieutenants of his five thousand silver-armored cavalry. The female general sitting on his left is named Qingluan, and the female general sitting on his right is named Huofeng. Not only do they look the same, Even the height and body shape are not much different, they are a pair of beautiful twins.
They have been serving Xuanyuan Qing since they were young. They are only three years older than him. It can be said that these two are both his god-sisters and his two personal maids.
All in all, the relationship between the three of them is very close, and is by no means comparable to an ordinary master-servant relationship.
After eating for a while, the three of them 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 from Zhongyuan City is really delicious." "Yes! Not only is it sweet and delicious, but it also has a unique fragrance. It seems that this trip is right."
After drinking the glass of wine, the two of them had red, round faces and said with great enjoyment.
Xuanyuan Qing drooled greedily, and quietly reached out to grab the wine bottle, wanting to pour himself a drink.
Qingluan reached out to grab the wine bottle first, glared at him and scolded him, "If you dare to drink, I will tell the master when you get back and let her punish you with solitary confinement."
"You are underage. The emperor and master have said that you are not allowed to drink." Huofeng also said.
"Two good sisters, can I just have a taste? If not, just give me a drop and I'll have a taste." Xuanyuan Qing said with a smile.
Qingluan and Huofengli ignored him and poured wine for themselves without giving it to him.
Xuanyuan Qing sighed helplessly and could only change the subject and said, "Why was it so noisy downstairs just now? What was Gu Chan doing?"
"I took the generals for a running exercise. They said they were going to run around the Central Plains City and come back. What is it called a ten-kilometer training?" Qingluan said.
"Ten kilometers training?" Xuanyuan Qing looked confused.
Fire Phoenix said with a smile, "I asked the people below, and shopkeeper Gu told them that ten kilometers equals twenty miles of land, so I ran twenty miles to practice."
"Where is he from? Why are many of the words he said so new, I have never heard of them." Xuanyuan Qing scratched his head and said.
"Maybe he has been to the Western Regions, or came from the Western Regions." Qingluan said with a nonchalant expression.
When Xuanyuan Qing heard what she said, he stopped thinking about it and said seriously, "Ignore him, just let him help me clean up these idiots. Regarding the military pay, what are you going to do this afternoon?" How are you doing?”
"Those rich people in Zhongyuan City are all crying about poverty. Who would be willing to pay money to support you in the war?"
"That's right, in the afternoon we visited the three major families in Zhongyuan City. The heads of these three families all looked embarrassed. They are all like this. Do you need to say more about the others?"
Qingluan and Huofeng complained angrily.
Obviously, after the defeat of the three Tian brothers, there is not much money left in the Central Plains camp to support the war. The most important thing is that before coming here, Xuanyuan Qing had boasted about Haikou in front of his emperor, saying that he did not need any support from the court. Military pay, Zhongyuan City is so rich, he came over to raise his own military pay.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that his idea is not mature enough, otherwise he would not have to delay the war.
Qingluan sighed and said, "It's all your fault. The emperor wanted to give you military pay before coming here, but you refused to let him give it to you. Is that okay now? Without military pay, even the fighter plane has to be delayed."
"Since ancient times, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first. Now we don't have money to buy food and grass, let alone defeat the enemy and regain the border." Huofeng also shouted helplessly.
Xuanyuan Qing smiled lightly and said, "Don't be impatient, things will go well as soon as possible. Let's have some fun first. When Gu Chanla comes back from practice later, we will discuss it with her. Maybe she can help me find a way to get this military salary." Woolen cloth!"
"I'm fed up with it. I'm afraid his face won't be enough for the many wealthy people in Zhongyuan City to buy it."
"Yes, he is currently holding the Shang Fang Sword given by the Imperial Envoy. Everyone will be polite to him. If he didn't have this Shang Fang Sword, who would blame him!"
Qingluan and Huofeng said disdainfully.
From their perspective, they really dislike Gu Chan. Who made Xuanyuan Qing value Gu Chan so highly?
This of course made them feel very unhappy with Gu Chan.
