Vol 8 Chapter 74 (2/2)
“Of course! I’m a lot cooler than before!” Zhou Cang yelled out loudly and rather joyfully as she ran towards me.
Does it really work? Looking at them, their expressions really do seem to have improved.
“My lord, it’s really simple.” Zhou Cang said, “You just need to run fast enough that it feels like there’s wind blowing.”
…
I really am too foolish for believing them for even an instant.
“Haha…” Yun Chang laughed dryly. She probably has the same thoughts as I do.
“There’s wind! There’s wind!”
“Guan Ping, cut it out, will you…” With a tinge of embarra.s.sment, Yun Chang yelled out sharply at Guan Ping, who clearly still hadn’t understood the fallacy of Zhou Cang’s logic.
“Big brother, this is my responsibility, I should have taught her some common sense.”
“Haha, it’s fine. Un, it’s fine.”
I don’t feel like such things are meant to be taught… It’s fine anyway, they should understand after this round, or after they’ve stopped.
“Oyo, what’s going on here?”
Un? Just as I was about to turn around, the one behind me had already rested her s.h.i.+ns against my back.
“Why is Xuan De foolishly sitting out here in the sun when it’s such a hot day?”
“It’s way too stuffy inside so I came out.”
I don’t know who it is but I still gave a reply anyway.
“Un? When did Zi Long come back?”
Because my back was locked by her s.h.i.+ns, I couldn’t quite turn around but Yun Chang helped me solve the mystery.
“Is it Zi Long?” I asked.
“You should be able to tell from my voice.,
Ah… I did indeed recognise it somewhat. But there were some echoes hearing it from this angle, so I wasn’t sure.
Yesterday, Zi Long went to our encampment to execute the final touches to the organisation of our troops. Presently, be it the structure of each battalion or the equipment of the troops, our army is fully prepared. The bandits which Feng Xian took in a while ago have fully a.s.similated as well. From what the others say, their skills aren’t too bad given that they were bandits before after all.
Our strength is already at 30,000 huh. I’m a little afraid to think about it to be honest. Just when did our numbers starting going so high? It must have been because of our trip to Jiangdong.
“Zi Long, what’s the situation like over at the encampment?” I asked as I raised my head and looked at her.
With such hot weather, Zi Long did not wear her armour naturally and was lightly dressed. What surprised me though, was that the usually austere and plainly dressed her is actually wearing a light blue one piece long dress with a lotus imprint. I think I learnt what this piece of clothing is from one of Zi Zhong’s lessons but I can’t seem to recall the name.
Un… Bei Zi huh? I’ve definitely seen these in some television shows before.
(TL: I can’t translate 褙子. Google it, if you ever watched any medieval Chinese shows, you will instantly recognise it.)
“It’s not bad. We’re just waiting for you to give a speech in a few days.” Zi Long said as she lifted her legs, “The order to move out to Xinye must be given by our lord, you, after all.”
“Ah… Un.”
Of course, Zi Long was busy with the preparations to leave and begin moving out as well.
