Just as he was thinking, a shout pulled him back to reality.
"Master …"
Zhang Feng glanced behind him and saw that many guards had already gathered. He casually threw away the cigarette butt and sorted out his emotions. He suddenly turned around and said with a straight face, "Everyone is here."
Seeing their master's expression change, the guards seemed to know that something big had happened. They all became serious, lined up, and said in unison, "Yes, master."
Zhang Feng glanced around and nodded slightly, "Don't be nervous. I'm just announcing something. From today onwards, everyone will put down their work and accept my training every day …"
"Training?"
"What training?"
The guards whispered to each other with a puzzled look.
For them, working in the Zhang Mansion was undoubtedly to protect their master and earn some money to settle down. They had never thought about training. Although they were retired soldiers, they had not trained for many years and had long been used to this lazy life. Now that their master suddenly said this, they were indeed not used to it.
Zhang Feng naturally knew the doubts of the guards. He waved his hand to signal them to be quiet and then said, "Everyone must be puzzled. Since you are all guards, why should I let you train?"
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Jiangnan and his face became gloomy, "Because I will be going to Jiangnan in a few days. I hope that you can go there and help me. Can you understand?"
"Jiangnan? Master is going to Jiangnan? "
"Why is Master going to Jiangnan? It should be related to the perfume we talked about last time, right? "
The people standing there were all the trusted subordinates of the Zhang Mansion. When Jiangnan was mentioned, they naturally thought of the perfume because they all knew about the dried flowers. Thinking of this, they could understand and kept cheering.
"Master, we support you."
"Master said that the perfume is a treasure. If that's the case, we must go to Jiangnan with Master."
Hearing the cheers of the crowd, Zhang Feng nodded slightly and then his face turned cold, "Good. In that case, let's start training. First, form a circle and run 50 laps around the courtyard."
Hearing this, the guards felt guilty. Although they were retired veterans, they hadn't trained for a long time. Suddenly running 50 laps, their bodies might not be able to take it. But when they thought of helping their master in the future, they gritted their teeth and slowly ran in a circle.
Zhang Feng stood at the periphery and glanced at the crowd. He said in a cold voice, "Today is just the beginning. From tomorrow onwards, you will need to run five laps around Chang 'an City every morning, do 200 push-ups at noon, and then practice archery in the courtyard. At night, you will take turns to use the Xiao Mountain gun …"
They felt that the whole day had been arranged so clearly that there was no time for rest. Although they didn't understand what push-ups were, when they heard that they had to run five laps around Chang 'an City every day, they felt their legs go weak. That was Chang' an City, at least 20 kilometers. If they ran five laps, it would be 100 kilometers. They didn't need to run. Just hearing it was scary enough. What push-ups were there? He still wanted to practice archery? Practice the Xiao Mountain gun?
Their legs were a little weak. Just when they were about to plead with their master, Zhang Feng's voice sounded again, "Whoever can persist to the end today will be the leader of this team. You don't have to worry about not getting paid for training every day. In the future, as long as you participate in the training, you will get a bonus on top of your original salary every day …"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Their eyes turned red and even their running speed increased a lot. They weren't greedy for money, but they felt that the sound of money seemed to make their blood boil. Why did they want to be a soldier in the first place? Wasn't it for the title and money? Since they couldn't get the title, they could only get money. Besides, many of them had family members. If they had more money, they could undoubtedly let their family members live a better life. For a moment, they seemed to see their family members eating and drinking well.
Zhang Feng was naturally happy to see this scene. He lit another cigarette and slowly smoked. Before he took two puffs, he saw Du Ziteng come over. He looked at the guards running in the yard with a puzzled face and unconsciously walked to Zhang Feng's side. "Oh, master, it's done. The guards are …"
"Old Du, you came at the right time."
Zhang Feng took out the cigarette butt and pointed to the guards. "Record it. In the future, these guards will have to run five laps around Chang 'an City every morning with sandbags tied to their legs and steel on their backs. At noon, they will do 200 push-ups, and then they will practice archery in the yard. At night, they will take turns to go to Xiao Mountain and train with guns. Also, add a bonus on top of their original salary. They must eat the best food, at least meat for every meal, and …"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Du Ziteng, only to see that Du Ziteng's eyes were as big as chestnuts and his mouth was so big that an egg could be put in. He scolded him angrily, "Old Du, why are you in a daze?"
