Chapter 244 (1/2)

The voices of thirty thousand soldiers echoed through the valley and lingered for a long time.

Even for Feng Yu Heng, when facing this sort of situation, she could not help but feel her blood boil as well. Wrapping her small hand around Xuan Tian Ming’s large hands, her grasp became tighter and tighter.

When Xuan Tian Ming also held her hand, a spiritual force was endlessly transmitted to her, finally allowing Feng Yu Heng to gradually calm down.

Only after the last shout dispersed, did she recover mentally. She quickly went forward and helped Qian Li stand up before raising her voice and saying to the thirty thousand soldiers: “Comrades! Please rise!” In an instant, she felt as though she had returned to the military in the 21st century. Calling out to her comrades, they could rely on one another to protect their lives.

Seeing that all of the soldiers had stood up, she continued: “There is no need for you to thank me. To the public, you are brave warriors who protect their families and their country, you also protect the citizens of Da Shun. Privately, you are his Highness Prince Yu’s subordinates, and he is to be my future husband. And to me, I am a doctor, so treating illnesses and saving lives is something I should do.”

Feng Yu Heng was still young, and her body’s foundation was poor. Shouting so forcefully nearly caused her to tear her vocal cords.

There was nothing she could do, but there was still a great number of things that she wanted to say. But if she continued to shout like this, she could not handle it. To thirty thousand people, even if she tore her vocal cords, the people in the back would not be able to hear her at all.

She looked around and noticed a small bag of dirt to her right that was roughly one meter tall. Not long later, she gave Xuan Tian Ming a look telling him to not be impatient, as she walked towards the bag of dirt.

While walking over, she placed her right hand on her left wrist and searched around in her space. Not long later, she found a megaphone in the lowest drawer of her counter.

This thing was purchased the day she opened up her pharmacy to spread the word, but it was only used that one time. After that, it was never brought out again. She had always been a proponent of letting her medicine do the talking, as the special medicines she took from the military allowed the pharmacy to steadily grow.

She never thought that the megaphone would see use after she came to the ancient world.

She stood on the little bag of dirt then turned around. Everyone saw that she was holding an odd thing in her hands.

Feng Yu Heng brought the megaphone to her mouth and suddenly said: “My fellow comrades.”

These three words caused the thirty thousand soldiers to tremble from shock. They were unable to understand why county princess Ji An’s voice suddenly became so loud. It was like the rumored internal energy of a legendary martial artist. Their voice, even if spoken like a whisper, would allow everyone to clearly hear it.

In reality, Feng Yu Heng was also given a fright. She never thought that the volume of the megaphone would be so high, and it was many times louder than she expected.

Turning her gaze to the thing in her hands, she saw a few large characters on the handle of the megaphone, ultra loud.

Very well! Megaphone, you win.

But this was also fine. No matter what was said, this was still thirty thousand people. If it were not on ultra loud, the people in the back still would not be able to hear her.

Feeling satisfied, she subconsciously raised her voice a little, as Feng Yu Heng said “When we met with deputy general Qian, his Highness Prince Yu and I were already heading towards the camp, and the goal of coming was to comply with his Highness’ desire and select a group of people to form our own divine archery group. This group will be personally led by me, so that you will not be at a disadvantage against the archery corps of the northern Qian Zhou.”

Once she said this, the thirty thousand soldiers looked at one another, each of them with a strange look on their face. This left Feng Yu Heng incredibly perplexed.

“Are there any objections?” Her voice was frosty like it had been when she was in the military during her previous life.

Hearing her ask, Qian Li took a step forward and said: “This servant knows that county princess has the Hou Yi bow, which gives you the right to help the army. Adding on how county princess has just saved us from the brink of death, we should not trouble you; however, the military has its own rules, especially our Northwest army. Ever since this army was formed, a tradition was established.”

“Oh?” Hearing him say this, Feng Yu Heng became interested, “Deputy general Qian, tell me about it. What sort of tradition is it?”

Qian Li said: “This tradition is, regardless of who wants to lead, instruct or work with the army, they must go through five tests and pass them all in order to be recognized by the soldiers.”

Feng Yu Heng’s eyes lit up, as she suddenly felt that this sort of activity was particularly stimulating. At the same time, it meant that this Northwest army was very strict with their rules. Both self-discipline and discipline in general were things that could not be changed. This sort of soldier would be easier for her to manage in the future.

“Good!” She nodded solemnly, “I will comply with the five tests! May I ask deputy general Qian what these five tests are?”

Hearing Feng Yu Heng say that she would comply with the five tests, the soldiers also rejoiced, as they all quietly began to whisper. There were even some who began clapping and praising her.

They were Xuan Tian Ming’s soldiers, so they naturally understood Xuan Tian Ming’s personality. They had never seen this ninth prince treat any woman this well in all their years, yet he suddenly promised marriage and even showed great kindness to the Feng family’s second young miss.

They had already secretly begun guessing what sort of ability the Feng family’s second young miss had to attract the ninth prince’s heart. Only after the Winter disaster, when the people of the capital began to speak about county princess Ji An and how she was a Bodhisattva, saving people from extreme misery, did they begin to have an impression of their general’s future wife.
