A month passed silently.
During this period of time, Qin Shuang would bring Ji Ruxue to the martial arts practice field every day after dealing with government affairs and miscellaneous matters. Then, they would practice the Fast Sword Technique on their own.
At first, Qin Shuang did not feel anything. She only felt that it was boring and tasteless because he had to repeat every movement hundreds of times.
As Qin Shuang became familiar with the basic movements of swordsmanship, he would instinctively integrate these basic movements when he was fencing.
Gradually, Qin Shuang came to this realization and said,""The profound meaning of the first stance of the Swift Sword,'Gale,' is to fuse all the basic movements of the sword technique into one. As the saying went, when the heart arrived, the will arrived, when the will arrived, the sword arrived, when the sword arrived, the qi arrived.”
That's right, this was the sword intent and profound meaning of the first stance of the Swift Sword, Gale.
To put it simply, if Qin Shuang wanted to master the Gale, she would need to be at least at the Xiantian realm. Only after entering the Xiantian realm would she be able to release the internal zhenqi in her body along with the sword.
This discovery also made Qin Shuang value the remaining two stances of the fast sword, Rushing Thunder and Space Splitting, even more.
Other than that, Qin Shuang also had a preliminary understanding: "In the eyes of ordinary people, the more you practice sword techniques, the more profound and complicated they become. The moves are in sync with them, but the fast sword works in the opposite way.”
If one were to judge it based on the level of the cultivation technique, Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, Qin Shuang only wanted to say: "The Swift Sword is definitely a heaven-tier peerless sword technique.”
……
At noon, Qin Shuang temporarily put aside the matter of practicing her swordsmanship and summoned Xue Antian and the other guards because of the letter sent by Tanhua.
In the living room of the city lord's mansion.
As Qin Shuang brought Ji Ruxue into the living room, Xue Antian and the others who had been waiting in the living room all knelt down and bowed.""Greetings, City Lord."
"Everyone, do you know why I have gathered you here today?”
Today, Qin Shuang was not polite. Instead, she went straight to the point.
"City Lord, could it be that some scoundrel wants to disturb Liang City?”
"Haha, Boss Xue's words are serious. It seems that the treasured saber at Boss Xue's waist is also ready to move. Yes, according to the letter from the secret agent, there is a mountain stronghold called the Golden Blade Stockade a hundred miles east of Liang City. In the past few days, the people of the Golden Blade Stockade had frequently harassed the common people. Their methods were so cruel that blood flowed everywhere they passed. Villages were destroyed, fertile fields were burned, and those who resisted were beheaded. The old, weak, women, and children were killed, and women and children were taken to the stockade to be trampled on. Everyone, tell me, how should Liang City deal with the inhumane actions of the Golden Blade Stockade?”
As soon as Qin Shuang finished speaking, Xue Antian and the others said in unison,""City Lord, just kill him."
"How? Speak freely."
"City Lord, this subordinate has something to say.”
A soldier named Zhan Peng requested.
Twenty days ago, Zhanpeng was still an ordinary soldier. Coincidentally, Qin Shuang went to the guards to inspect the work. During this period, she accidentally discovered that Zhanpeng had some knowledge in leading troops to battle. After a round of assessment, Qin Shuang promoted him to a lieutenant in the central army.
Other than Zhanpeng and Xue Antian, the rest of the people present were discovered by Qin Shuang, tested, and personally promoted.
"Speak freely."
"City Lord, I was once unfortunately captured by the Golden Blade Stockade and managed to escape, so I know the Golden Blade Stockade quite well.”
"Hmm? Tell me the details."
"City Lord, the Golden Blade Stockade is located on the top of Tiger King Mountain, 120 miles east of Liang City. The Tiger King Mountain had a steep terrain. Three sides of the mountain were steep cliffs that were hundreds of feet high. There was only one way to go up the mountain. Apart from that, Liu Jindao, the Fort Master of Golden Blade Stockade, was once sworn brothers with Chu Xiong. The two of them had a close relationship. Before the City Lord passed away, Chu Xiong had even ordered his subordinates to deliver grain and supplies to Liu Jindao.”
Hearing Zhanpeng's words, Qin Shuang also understood: ""So Liu Jindao didn't just send people to harass the ordinary people at the foot of the mountain. He wanted to lure him up the mountain to avenge Chu Xiong.”
"Zhanpeng, do you have any good suggestions if we send troops to attack the Golden Blade Stockade?”
"City Lord, although the Tiger King Mountain's terrain is steep, one of the cliffs is covered with old tree vines. Anyone who knows a little about qinggong can climb the mountain. I'm willing to lead a small group of people up the mountain secretly. The City Lord will also send 500 soldiers to hide on both sides of the road down the mountain. When the stronghold catches fire, Liu Jindao and the others will definitely flee in panic. I'll catch them all in one fell swoop in the future.”
The mercenary strategy that Zhanpeng mentioned was very good, and it was also what Qin Shuang thought.
"Haha, good, you didn't let me down.”
Qin Shuang praised Zhanpeng.
Without waiting for the voice to fade, Qin Shuang continued to instruct,"Xue Antian…"
"This subordinate is here…"
"I know you want to kill the enemy and make a contribution, but a mere Golden Blade Stockade is not enough to alarm the Liang army. Zhanpeng, listen up…"
"Please instruct me, City Lord."
"Go to the guards and select fifty experts. After preparing the corresponding resources, disguise yourself and leave the city first. I will lead five hundred soldiers to follow closely behind. Remember, your mission is not just to set fire to the village, but to protect the lives of the women and children who were captured.”
"Yes, this subordinate will definitely not fail the mission."
Soon, Zhanpeng left.
After hearing that Qin Shuang was going to personally lead the troops to exterminate the bandits, Xue Antian could not help but remind them after wandering around for half a day,""City Lord, you are a daughter of a thousand gold. Why don't you let this subordinate be in charge of commanding the troops?”
"Boss Xue, are you still a man?”
"This?"
"As a man, if I can't even shoulder this burden, how can I assist my master in conquering the Divine Great Land? " Besides, the frog in the well doesn't know how high the sky is, and the bird in the cage doesn't know how vast the blue sky is. Just like you, I'm also a member of the Pugilistic World. I need to increase my combat experience with the 'Human Stance' and not be lazy."”
Qin Shuang's tone was firm.
Actually, Xue Antian had already realized Qin Shuang's intention for this trip. However, he could not help but treat Qin Shuang as a child.
When he personally saw the childlike innocence on Qin Shuang's face, a thought involuntarily surfaced in Xue Antian's mind."If the world is under Qin Shuang's control, I believe that it is not impossible to unify China's martial arts world. It is just a matter of time.”
