In the wee hours of the morning, the moonlight shone down on Lu King Mountain.
However, while Zhang Weiyu and the others were sleeping, they heard hurried footsteps outside. They jumped out of bed and looked through the window to see what was happening. Could it be the Blackfeather Army? Otherwise, why would there be such a huge commotion?
At that moment, Zhang Weiyu and the others felt that something was not right.
However, they gradually discovered that something was wrong. The Martial Guards Army soldiers did not panic. Instead, they marched in unison. The footsteps of more than 3,000 people stomped on the ground at the same time, like the beating of war drums. The momentum was like a tide.
"What are they doing?" Zhang Weiyu asked in bewilderment.
Dong Ye, one of the members of the Inner Hall, was also confused. "It doesn't look like the Blackfeather Army is here. It looks like they are doing some kind of group activity. If it was the army, they wouldn't be reacting like this."
At that moment, Li Heitan's honest voice came from outside. "One, two, one, two, one, two, three, four …"
Zhang Weiyu, who had planned to go out to see what was going on, was stunned again. "Is that … a code?!"
"No, did you notice that when he was shouting the number, the uniform footsteps happened to coincide with the number." Someone noticed something was off. "Maybe they are training?"
"I've never seen this kind of training before …"
Since there was no danger, Zhang Weiyu took the lead and walked out. They saw more than three thousand Wu Weijun soldiers divided into more than thirty teams. Each team had a hundred people running in unison. Even though there would be people whose steps were messed up from time to time, they would immediately adjust their pace.
The chants of Li Heitan and the other team leaders were the basis for adjusting their pace. One and two represented the timing of the left and right feet landing on the ground.
Zhang Weiyu and the others were smart people. They immediately understood the benefits of this kind of training. It made the army more disciplined, and it was also a demonstration of the soldiers' mental state. This thing might not be very useful on the battlefield, but it was very effective during normal training.
What surprised them the most was that Lü Shu was able to train Wu Weijun to such an extent in such a short time.
Mituryū Kanao had three hundred Inner Palace Guards, and each of them was a commander of a hundred ordinary Mituryū Kanao, so everyone understood that it was not easy to train Wu Weijun to be so obedient in such a short period of time.
Last night, they were still discussing that if Wu Weijun's group didn't listen to them, they would use harsh methods to teach them a lesson first. In the end, it seemed that there was no need for that.
Zhang Weiyu searched for a long time but did not see Lü Shu. He waited for Li Heitan's team to pass by and asked curiously, "Where's the Great Commander?"
Li Heitan looked at Zhang Weiyu and roared, "One! Two! Three! Four! "
Zhang Weiyu: "…"
Are you crazy? I'm asking you a question!
Right now, Zhang Weiyu was most annoyed by this Li Heitan. He was so stubborn, but he didn't have any bad intentions …
At this time, Zhang Weiyu forcefully pulled Li Heitan back. "I'm asking you a question. Where's the Great Commander?"
"He went to practice his swordsmanship," Li Heitan said in a low, muffled voice.
Zhang Weiyu nodded. Lü Shu was still maintaining his tenacious personality and was still cultivating.
Ordinary people only saw the bright side of the Great Dao, but they did not know that this kind of heaven-defying action could not be done without perseverance. Just as they had said, on the road to success, perseverance, opportunity, and aptitude were all indispensable. And Lü Shu really did not lack any of these, especially the most important perseverance.
"Is there anything else?" Li Heitan asked bluntly.
Zhang Weiyu was so angry that he laughed. "Didn't your Great Commander control your bad temper?"
"He did," Li Heitan said. "But he didn't control me."
Right now, Lü Shu had indeed given up … but he was also very forgiving. Since he knew that Li Heitan had such a straightforward personality, it would be Lü Shu's loss if he really wanted to turn Li Heitan into someone who would think twice before doing anything.
After hearing Li Heitan's reply, Zhang Weiyu was stunned for a moment. "Then can't you control yourself?"
Li Heitan was stunned. "Look at what you're saying. Even my Great Commander can't control me, so how can I control myself?!"
Zhang Weiyu: "… What you said makes so much sense."
Zhang Weiyu and the others watched from the side. This training was not very intense, and it had little to do with actual combat. Perhaps this was why Lü Shu wanted them to stay. Because Lü Shu knew very well that this kind of training alone could not make Wu Weijun an invincible strong soldier. It also needed to be combined with other training.
Lü Shu only reappeared at breakfast time. Then, Lü Xiaoyu showed the account book to Lü Shu for a long time. The two of them were discussing something in whispers.
Now that Lü Shu and the others were in charge of the entire Wu Weijun's life, they had to be meticulous in their calculations. After Zhang Weiyu and the others came to visit, Lü Shu did not talk to them. Instead, he wanted to go to the fields to take a look first.
All of a sudden, Zhang Weiyu realized that after just one night, Lü Shu's essence, energy, and spirit seemed to be different from the day before. His rapid progress was really terrifying. No matter how he looked at it, he did not look like someone who had just started cultivating.
Under normal circumstances, if low-level cultivators cultivated without guidance, they would take a lot of detours.
However, that did not seem to be the case for Lü Shu. It seemed that he already knew where his destination was, and he just had to go all the way.
Zhang Weiyu did not know that what Lü Shu was doing now was only to make up for his shortcomings in physique tempering. If he unlocked the Star Map now, Lü Shu's physical fitness might be more than twice that of experts of the same level.
When such strength was combined, it was not as simple as one plus one. Originally, Lü Shu could crush people of the same level as him. After making up for his shortcomings in physique tempering, who knew how strong he would become?
"The crops here are growing faster." Lü Shu patrolled the huge terraced fields and said, "The first batch of crops will be here in about three months. When that time comes, we really don't have to worry about food. However, we have to solve the problem of salt shortage. We can have a shortage of food, but we can't have a shortage of salt."
Lü Xiaoyu, who was beside Lü Shu, nodded and noted it down in her small notebook. Now that she was the chief housekeeper, these were all things that she had to worry about.
"How's the progress of raising wild beasts in captivity?" Lü Shu asked.
"During this period of time, Liu Qianzhi and the others have tried to keep the beasts alive when they went hunting in the mountains. However, there is only one type of goat that is suitable to be raised in captivity for the time being. This type of goat is more docile when it is raised in a herd. When other wild beasts are raised in captivity, they don't even eat their feed. They will starve themselves to death or become very irritable and difficult to manage," Lü Xiaoyu said.
"Wild beasts will always be wild beasts." Lü Shu sighed.
Dreams were plentiful, but reality was tough. Not all wild beasts could grind away their beastly nature.
