Shen Ling denied it strongly.

However, the prefecture overseer could see through him. He knew that Shen Ling was just trying to avoid what he was known for.

When he entered the camp wall and went to Shen Ling’s residence, the young sharecroppers, who were training in the Southern Square of the village, attracted his attention immediately.

There were just about a hundred people, but their movements were uniform, their momentum was great, and their every move was filled with fierceness.

This made his eyes dazzle.

If his 20,000 soldiers and horses were able to do half of what these 100 people did, then there was no need to worry. They would be able to deal with those rebels.

“How about this…”

Miss Qin said slowly after listening to the man and Shen Ling talk for a long time. “Why don’t you send over 2,000 people for training first? If there’s any effect, you can send over the remaining people.”

“After all, this village is not so big. It’s already a little strenuous to accommodate the people from Qi Hua City. I’m afraid it won’t be appropriate to accommodate another 20,000 soldiers.”

The prefecture overseer looked at Miss Qin. His pupils contracted slightly.

The man looked at Shen Ling and asked, “Young Master Shen, what do you think about this suggestion?”

Seeing that he couldn’t refuse anymore, he could only nod in agreement. “That’s fine then.”

After thanking him profusely, Shen Ling watched the man leave with the guards.

He couldn’t help but feel very troubled.

Who gave him this information?

Who said that he knew how to train soldiers?

How could he know how to train soldiers? All he did was teach the young sharecroppers how to practice martial arts. How was it related to training soldiers?

Unlike Shen Ling, who was confused, Miss Qin quickly understood. “Do you think you were recommended by Mr. Yang?”

Shen Ling nodded.

Since he was just a commoner, he couldn’t have known a big shot like the prefecture overseer. However, since Mr. Yang was a former prefecture overseer, they must both be colleagues.

So it was very likely that it was Mr. Yang who had recommended him!

After Miss Qin left, Shen Ling went to the Yang family’s courtyard.

Mr. Yang looked at him with a smile and asked, “Young Master Shen, what brings you here?”

“Some minutes ago, the prefecture overseer of Anzhou came here and said that he wanted me to help him train his troops,” Shen Ling said slowly.

“But I don’t know how to train soldiers. What do you think I should do?”

Mr. Yang smiled. “You’re just too modest, Young Master Shen. There’s no need to put so much pressure on yourself. Just get those soldiers to follow the villagers’ training methods and guide them.”

Shen Ling raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Do you think this will work?”

Mr. Yang nodded and said affirmatively, “Of course, it will.”

Hearing this, Shen Ling felt relieved.

If it was that simple, then he wouldn’t mind giving it a try.

The following day, two thousand soldiers arrived in the village.

“Who is Young Master Shen?”

The leader of the soldiers, who had dignified demeanor, asked as he cupped his hands and looked at the crowd.

“That would be me.”

Shen Ling answered as he took a step forward.

“Alright. Under the orders of the prefecture overseer, I have brought two thousand soldiers here. Please give the order, Young Master Shen.”

The imposing soldier bowed as he spoke.

Hearing this, Shen Ling took a deep breath. “Divide them into groups of twenty soldiers each.”

“Right away!”

The leader spoke loudly, “I want twenty people in each group, making a total of 100 groups.”

Before long, the 2000 people were divided.

“Da Zhuang!”

Shen Ling spoke again. This time, he wasn’t talking to the soldiers.

“I’m here!”

Da Zhuang, who was standing behind Shen Ling, took a step forward.

“Each of you will be in charge of a group. I want you all to make sure that they learn the Mountain-splitting Saber Technique in the shortest amount of time possible!” Shen Ling ordered.

“Yes, Young Master Shen.”

Da Zhuang nodded.

Under Shen Ling’s orders, the 2000 soldiers began their training in earnest.

However, Shen Ling was able to quickly discover the problems with these soldiers.

They were extremely nervous.

They felt uneasy.

They were also unable to concentrate.

There were even internal disagreements.

When all these seemingly small problems were added, it gave Shen Ling quite a fit.

This was the so-called Great Qian Army?

This?

Was this an army or just a bunch of random people?

“Dong.”

The bell rang.

To the young sharecroppers, this meant that they were supposed to assemble.

Very quickly, they led the 2,000 soldiers to Shen Ling.

“For the time being, you’d stop your cultivation and run three laps around the camp wall.”

Shen Ling said.

As soon as he said this, over a hundred sharecroppers started running. The soldiers looked at their commander in awe.

He had already followed suit and started running with the sharecroppers.

“Lily, follow them.”

After everyone had set off, Shen Ling patted his tiger with a wicked smile on the corner of his lips.

Not running?

Then such a person would have to contend with his tiger!

“Roar-roar!”

Lily, who was still lying on the ground, raised its head to look at her master. It roared unwillingly.

“There will be an extra meal for you!”

Shen Ling said to her as he stretched out a finger.

“Roar!”

When the tiger heard this, it let out a low roar again and chased after the soldiers without wasting any more time.

“Ah!”

Soon enough, several screams came from afar. All through, Shen Ling had a blank expression on his face.

With just these three laps, it seemed some of the soldiers had run for a long time.

If it weren’t for the tiger behind them, which would have pounced on them as soon as they stopped, they wouldn’t have held on for those three laps.

On the camp wall, Shen Ling had his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice, “I might have overestimated you.”

“Initially, I thought that even if you ran three laps, you would still be able to hold on.”

“I never expected that there would be people left behind before you even finished one lap.”

“In the future, if you lose on the battlefield, what would you do to survive?”

“If you decide to take your time and run slowly, you will be killed by the enemy!”

“Always have it at the back of your mind that you have to move forward quickly and at the same time, you have to run faster while escaping as well.”

“Starting from today, you all will run three laps every day. After that, you can practice your saber techniques.”

Once he was done speaking, he patted Lily’s head fondly.

Lily had just run three laps with the soldiers. He discovered that its endurance level wasn’t bad at all.

When Shen Ling was done, the soldiers went back to practicing their Saber techniques from the young sharecroppers.

But even more soldiers were curious about the tiger beside Shen Ling.

Regarding this issue, the sharecroppers didn’t withhold this information and they began to explain it to the soldiers.

For some time, the matter about Shen Ling and Lily the tiger spread throughout the military camp.

Ever since then, some soldiers began to respect Shen Ling without reservation.

They felt that he was a very fierce person to be able to fight tigers.

In the blink of an eye, half a month went by.

The sharecroppers’ village was not so big before. But the more they expanded, the soldiers became completely familiar with the place.

There was the high-ranked Young Master Shen, the mysterious and unfathomable Chennan Trading Company, and some simple villagers.

During their free time every day, the soldiers helped to expand the village.

With the help of these two thousand soldiers who also doubled as laborers, the village became even more developed.

To what extent was it developed? In the eyes of the villagers and soldiers, the village should actually be considered as a city.

However, the villagers preferred to see it as a village, because that was what it had been when Shen Ling first arrived there.

One day, Miss Qin looked at Shen Ling and said softly, “Young Master Shen, the thing you’ve always wanted has arrived.”

“Oh! Really?” Shen Ling responded with a smile.

He looked at what was in the box on the ground with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

The Flying Rope!

This was his idea and it was created by the craftsmen of Chennan Trading Company.

At the same time, it was also the core of Shen Ling’s next plan.

With this, he could now study how to take back Qi Hua City..
