Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension
Chapter 372 A Moment of Leisure: Starting to Practice
Zhang Heng hadn't left; he stood to the side, his body hunched over, beads of sweat on his forehead, and his expression looking rather unnatural.
Wu Feng glanced at him and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Zhang Heng quickly stepped forward, bowing slightly, his voice a little strained: "Ahem, Your Excellency, the gentry were wiped out yesterday, leaving many vacancies. The military camp in the west of the city is now empty; how should we arrange it?"
Wu Feng leaned back in his chair, thought for a moment, and said, "Let Zhou Tieshan go to the military camp in the west of the city to be in charge of training troops and recruiting new soldiers. Mu Lingyun can continue to manage the military camp in the east of the city, and Zhou Tieshan will take over the one in the west. The two of them can each manage a military camp and train troops separately, which will be more efficient."
Zhang Heng nodded quickly, pulled a piece of paper from his sleeve, and scribbled a few notes on it.
Wu Feng continued, "You can handle the rest yourself. We brought back quite a few people from Yong'an County today. Go and see if there are any promising talents. If so, recruit them. Scholars, martial artists, craftsmen—don't let any with a skill slip by."
Zhang Heng nodded and bowed, "Yes, Your Excellency. I will take care of it immediately."
After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly out of the front hall. His steps were much lighter than when he came in, and his boots made a rapid sound on the blue brick floor. He soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.
The lobby fell silent, leaving only Wu Feng alone.
He leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.
If Li Hu can get the remaining three counties sorted out by tomorrow.
The next few days were spent digesting these resources, training new recruits, and preparing for Liao's retaliation.
The Liao army numbered 50,000, including 10,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry.
Based on the distance, it should arrive in a few days at the earliest.
During this period, we must strengthen the city's defenses, train the troops well, and stockpile supplies.
When the Liao soldiers arrive, let them never return.
Wu Feng opened his eyes, stood up, and walked out of the front hall.
Walk through the short corridor, across the front yard, and into the back yard.
One o'clock in the afternoon.
Wu Feng turned and walked through the corridor toward the backyard.
The sunlight in the courtyard was lovely, casting a dazzling white glow on the blue brick floor.
Inside the pavilion, Li Qinglu, Mu Wanqing, Azi, and Wu Xingyun were sitting and drinking tea.
Li Qinglu was holding a teacup and talking to Mu Wanqing.
Azi lay on the stone table, her chin resting on her arm, her eyes half-closed.
Wu Xingyun leaned against a pavilion pillar, holding a teacup in his hand, staring blankly at the trees in the courtyard.
Wu Feng walked into the pavilion and sat down on the stone bench.
"Wu Lang." Li Qinglu put down her teacup.
Mu Wanqing then called out "Young Master".
Azi raised her head from the stone table and called out "Young Master" with a smile.
Wu Xingyun glanced at him and nodded.
Wu Feng picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and put it down.
"Are you done with your work?" Li Qinglu asked.
"Yeah, nothing else." Wu Feng leaned back in his chair. "You guys keep talking."
Li Qinglu nodded and continued talking to Mu Wanqing.
Azi lay back down on the stone table, her eyes half-closed, as if she were about to fall asleep.
Wu Xingyun continued to stare blankly at the trees in the yard.
Wu Feng sat for a while, then stood up.
"I'm going to rest for a bit, I'll come up later."
Li Qinglu nodded.
Wu Feng turned and walked out of the pavilion, across the courtyard, and back to his room.
He closed the door and sat down on the bed.
With a slight thought, the interface unfolds before my eyes, and I tap "Logout" with my fingertip.
A flash of white light, and the hatch slowly slid open.
Wu Feng opened his eyes, sat up, and jumped out of the game pod, using the edge as leverage.
I landed on both feet, stretched my shoulders, and my joints cracked a few times.
After standing for a while, I twisted my waist and moved my knees.
I've been lying in the gaming pod for too long, and my body is a bit stiff.
After the activity, I went into the bathroom.
Turn on the tap, and hot water rushes down, quickly filling the entire bathroom with steam.
He stood under the showerhead, closed his eyes, and rinsed himself for a while.
Hot water splashed on my face and body, making my skin turn red.
After washing up, I dried myself off and changed into clean clothes.
I picked up my phone from the table and glanced at it—1:40 PM.
He pushed open the bedroom door, went downstairs, and left the villa.
The sun outside was quite strong, shining brightly on the ground.
Walking along the main road towards the cafeteria, there weren't many people on the road, and occasionally a breeze would blow, rustling the leaves.
After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the cafeteria.
Pushing open the door, I found that there weren't many people inside, just a few scattered tables.
Dishes were still laid out at the food pick-up point, and several chefs dressed in white were chatting at the kitchen entrance.
Wu Feng walked over and picked up a tray.
Braised pork, stir-fried greens, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of soup.
I took the tray and found a seat by the window.
The food was cleaned up in just over ten minutes.
I finished the soup and wiped my mouth with a tissue.
Take the tray to the recycling area and leave the cafeteria.
The sun outside was stronger than when we arrived, and it felt a little hot on our faces.
He squinted and walked back along the main road.
Back at the villa, I went up to the second floor and entered the bedroom.
He took off his coat and threw it on the chair, walked to the game pod, opened the hatch, and lay down inside.
The hatch slowly closed, and a faint blue light seeped out from the edges.
A feeling of weightlessness came over me, and everything went black.
A flash of white light.
Wu Feng opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
The room was dimly lit, the window was half-open, and a breeze blew in, carrying the scent of plants from the yard.
He stood up, stretched his wrists, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Take a deep breath and close your eyes.
With a slight thought, the Nine Yang True Qi in his dantian surged and flowed slowly along his meridians.
The warm, vital energy flowed through my limbs and bones like golden streams.
At the edge of the field of vision, a pale gold system notification steadily popped up—
[Nine Yang Divine Skill Proficiency +336]
One week, two weeks, three weeks.
The true energy washed over the meridians again and again, becoming increasingly solid.
Time passed during the practice.
The light outside the window changed from bright to dim yellow, and then from dim yellow to dark red.
When Wu Feng opened his eyes again, the room had already darkened.
I glanced at the system time—it was almost six o'clock in the evening.
He let out a long breath, got up from the bed, and stretched his wrists.
He pushed open the door and went outside.
Dusk was falling in the courtyard, with only a last glimmer of dark red light remaining on the horizon.
Inside the pavilion, Li Qinglu, Mu Wanqing, Azi, and Wu Xingyun were already seated.
Several dishes were laid out on the stone table, and the kitchen staff were carrying trays into the pavilion.
Wu Feng walked over and sat down on the stone bench.
"Wu Lang." Li Qinglu smiled when she saw him.
Mu Wanqing then called out "Young Master".
Ah Zi called out "Young Master" and handed him the chopsticks.
Wu Xingyun glanced at him and nodded.
A table full of dishes was laid out.
Braised pork belly, stewed chicken, steamed fish, stir-fried greens, cold black fungus salad, a big bowl of egg drop soup, a dish of peanuts, and a plate of braised beef.
There was also a pot of wine and several small wine cups next to it.
Li Qinglu picked up the wine pot, poured a cup for Wu Feng, a cup for Mu Wanqing, and a cup each for A Zi and Wu Xingyun.
"Why is there wine today?" Wu Feng asked, picking up his wine glass.
Li Qinglu smiled and said, "Zhang Heng brought these over. He said they were confiscated from the Zhao family's place. They're several jars of aged Shaoxing wine."
Wu Feng nodded, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip.
The wine is good; it's smooth on the palate, doesn't burn the throat, and has a slightly sweet aftertaste.
He put down his wine glass, picked up his chopsticks, and said, "Eat."
Several people started eating.
Azi picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing until her mouth was full of oil.
Li Qinglu picked up a piece of fish and put it in Wu Feng's bowl before eating it herself.
Mu Wanqing ate very slowly, lifting a corner of her veil.
Wu Xingyun slowly sipped her soup from the bowl.
Wu Feng ate quickly, finishing his bowl of rice in no time, and then had another half bowl added.
After eating for about 15 minutes, most of the dishes on the table were gone.
Wu Feng picked up his wine glass, took another sip, and leaned back in his chair.
Li Qinglu also put down her chopsticks, picked up her wine glass, took a sip, and her face flushed slightly.
Ah Zi's belly was bulging from eating, and she lay on the table, not wanting to move.
Mu Wanqing finished eating and sat quietly.
Wu Xingyun put down the bowl, picked up the teacup, and slowly drank.
The group sat and chatted for a few minutes.
