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

"I don't know..."

"Okay, then I'll tell you. The reason I beat you is not because you didn't win, but because you blatantly disobeyed military orders! On the battlefield, beating drums is the signal to march, and blowing gongs is the order to retreat. Don't you even know this common sense?"

"Sir, of course I know the rules of calling off an attack." Wan Fei hesitated and continued, "However, at that time, I was in the middle of a fierce battle with Lu Qian..."

Before he could finish his words, Chi Xun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Sir, Wan Fei comes from the underworld, and does not fully understand the iron laws of the military. The one hundred beatings he received this time must have made him remember it in his heart, and he will not dare to do it again in the future." As he spoke, he gave Wan Fei a signaling look.

Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. This is an iron rule that cannot be shaken in the army. Once violated, no matter how big or small, you must bear the consequences.

If Duan Tianyang really wanted to punish severely, it would not be excessive even if Wan Fei was executed on the spot.

At Chi Xun's signal, Wan Fei finally fell silent, lowered his head, and admitted in a low voice: "Sir, I know I was wrong."

Duan Tianyang's punishment of 100 military sticks was not just aimed at Wan Fei alone, but was also intended to serve as a warning to others and remind everyone in the Chang family army to strictly abide by military discipline.

Now that you have submitted to him, you can no longer act recklessly and do whatever you want as you did in the past.

Seeing Wan Fei's sincere attitude in admitting his mistake, Duan Tianyang's expression eased a little. He ordered, "Go and rest. Let the military doctor treat your wound."

"Yes, sir!" Wan Fei responded.

"Also, Wan Fei, from now on you will serve as the left vanguard general of the Bhikkhu Army!" Duan Tianyang's words were like giving a slap in the face and then a candy, which made Wan Fei both surprised and happy.

He endured the pain in his buttocks, put his hands in salute, and said excitedly: "I am grateful for your promotion!"

Although he was punished with a hundred military sticks, Wan Fei's face was filled with an unconcealable joy, and even a hint of pride.

Among the many members of the Chang family army, he was the first to be officially appointed. How could such an honor not make him overjoyed?

At the same time, Yi Shuirou nodded silently, secretly praising Duan Tianyang for his ability to employ people and his use of both kindness and power, which made his subordinates sincerely convinced of him.

After Duan Tianyang arranged the areas where the various divisions would keep watch tonight, he gently waved his hand at everyone and said, "Okay, everyone go get ready!"

Everyone then bowed to him and left the tent in an orderly manner.

Zhang Yi hurriedly followed Chi Xun's steps and asked softly, "Old Chi, I was wondering if I could find an opportunity to deliberately make a mistake as well?"

Chi Xun looked confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Zhang Yi frowned and explained: "You see, although Lao Wan disobeyed military orders and was beaten with a hundred sticks, he was promoted to the left forward and is now very successful in the Bhikkhu Army. But I am still a nobody. So I was thinking, maybe I should learn from Lao Wan and make a mistake on purpose to see if there will be any turnaround."

Chi Xun almost laughed out of anger when he heard this. He said to Zhang Yi seriously, "Wan Fei made a mistake. Your Excellency only gave him a light punishment because it was his first offense. But if it were you, it would not be as simple as a hundred military sticks. You might even lose your life!"

"Ah?" Zhang Yi was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He asked in confusion: "How can this... how can this be so biased? When have I ever offended you, sir?"

Chi Xun made a detailed analysis: "Wan Fei disobeyed the military order because he was born in Jianghu and had only a vague understanding of the military order. Moreover, it was his first offense. Your Excellency punished him with 100 military sticks to emphasize the strict military discipline and warn everyone that if you disobey the military order again, it would be knowingly committing a crime and the punishment will be doubled. Your Excellency will never tolerate it."

Then he changed his tone and added: "My Lord has granted Lao Wan the position of left forward. You don't have an official position at the moment, but you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." He shook his head and smiled, revealing a relaxed and open-minded tone: "I don't have an official position at the moment, just like you. My Lord is now in charge of the cities in Xiguan, and there are countless vacancies. As long as we are diligent and down-to-earth, we will naturally have opportunities for promotion."

After listening to Chi Xun's words, Zhang Yi felt much better.

Chi Xun looked around and saw that no one was interrupting him, so he lowered his voice and said to Zhang Yi solemnly: "Official positions are important, but the Hongxing Society is where we truly belong. If there is a chance, you must join!"

Although Chi Xun had only recently joined the Bhikkhu Army, he had already seen through the base of Duan Tianyang's power - that was the Hongxing Society.

Although people like Lu Jingyuan and Xiao Fang do not hold prominent official positions, they undoubtedly occupy a core position in Duan Tianyang's power.

The reason is very clear. They are all important members of the Hongxing Society, either the leader or the deputy leader, and they hold real power.

Zhang Yi listened at the side, nodded frequently, and responded: "Okay, I remember it."

After everyone left the tent one after another, Duan Tianyang stood up, walked slowly to the map depicting Tianhu City, and examined it carefully.

At this moment, Yi Shuirou did not leave either. She walked lightly to Duan Tianyang and stared down at the map on the table.

Soon, she couldn't hold back her curiosity anymore and asked, "What's so interesting about this map?"

Duan Tianyang glanced at Yi Shuirou, smiled indifferently, but said nothing more.

At ten o'clock that evening, Duan Tianyang changed into black clothes and quietly left the base camp of the Bhikkhu Army.

He did not ride a warhorse, but galloped towards the eastern suburbs of Tianhu City alone.

About five miles outside the east gate of Tianhu City, there is a dense woodland.

When Duan Tianyang reached the edge of the forest, he stopped and looked back.

In the distance, a black figure was looming and running quickly after him.

When the other party came to him, Duan Tianyang asked with a hint of helplessness: "Why are you following me, Princess?"

The person who came was Yi Shuirou. She stood in front of Duan Tianyang, with curiosity flashing in her eyes, and said softly: "You are quite fast. I almost couldn't keep up with you."

It should be noted that Yi Shuirou's realm has reached the Disha realm, and her cultivation is so profound that it is astonishing.

However, when she saw Duan Tianyang running, he was so fast that Yi Shuirou found it difficult to catch up with him.

But what is puzzling is that Duan Tianyang's cultivation is actually not outstanding.

Faced with Yi Shuirou's confusion, Duan Tianyang just stared at her silently with a pair of puzzled eyes.

Yi Shuirou curled her lips and said softly, "I'm just curious and want to see what you are planning."

Duan Tianyang didn't say anything else, but turned and walked deeper into the forest.

After a while, he asked, "Princess, do you know what is abundant in the Tianhu City area?"

Yi Shuirou followed closely behind. After hearing this question, she hesitated for a moment and then told the truth: "I don't know."
