"To be honest, I didn't want to do this at first. I broke my principles for the life of an ordinary soldier. However, it may be even more difficult to repay the favors you owe you. It's better to pay them back this time." Mi Wen said lightly. Ye Shikai never thought that a favor would be more important than a life, but Ye Shikai was already satisfied with Mi Wen's willingness to not kill this soldier.

"As for these black-clothed soldiers, they are not ordinary sergeants, but the dead soldiers I recruited. Last time in my military camp, I wanted to test your strength, but an accident happened, so this time, I want to test it again." Mi Wen's mouth slightly raised, and dozens of men in black slowly walked forward.

"Hey, you don't want to..." Ye Shikai was a little uneasy, and as he spoke, he was already ready to resist.

"We'll have to fight as soon as we meet."

"Just stop, don't worry, do it."

"I'll go."

Bang, bang.

In the blink of an eye, several dead soldiers holding swords rushed forward. Ye Shikai took out a metal sword from the storage ring. The sword had no eyes. Ye Shikai kept swinging his sword and blocked the joint attack of several people, but he still seemed unable to do so in the face of dozens of people's siege.

"Hey, didn't you agree to make it a little bit better? This is my life." Ye Shikai couldn't help but complain.

"Is that so, then I don't know." Mi Wen waved his hand and watched "very interested" from the side, as if watching a showdown between a group of dead soldiers.

"That's really interesting."

Whoosh, whoosh.

While speaking, several arrows shot out from the side. Although the arrow was not solemn, it was very effective. Ye Shikai was busy blocking the sword strike in front and was about to dodge the attack from the dark. After a moment of carelessness, the arrow brushed past his armor and drew a white mark.

"Yes, there are some skills." Mi Wen clapped his hands with "encouragement" when he saw Ye Shikai's skillful swordsmanship and was not inferior to the disadvantage.

"Is that so? Then I'll let you see something even better." Ye Shikai said coldly, found a space and distanced himself from everyone.

"Plain's Art—Shadow Clones."

In an instant, more than a dozen clones immediately appeared in the garden, exactly the same, making it difficult to distinguish. Not only those dead soldiers, but even Mi Wen was shocked. This master skill requires a lot of internal strength. Ye Shikai hasn't used it for a long time and it is difficult to exert all his skills for a while, but he also easily reversed the situation. If it comes to one fight, he has an absolute advantage.

"receive."

Ye Shikai chuckled lightly and withdrew his clone. The dead soldier who had a fierce battle was worried that he would have a backup plan and did not dare to get close for a while.

"How is it, the test is over."

"It's not bad, you really didn't disappoint me." In the blink of an eye, Mi Wen had already flashed in front of him, the distance between them was only a short distance.

"Since the test has been completed, I will say goodbye first." Ye Shikai turned around and left. If Mi Wen wanted to find out how deep his strength was, it would really disappoint her. Ye Shikai just showed his main magical skills, and there were many "talks" and many "secrets" on him. Any one of these was enough to shock her.

"Take your sergeant away, about murder in the downtown area, I don't want to hear it say even a word from him in the future."

"I understand." Ye Shikai nodded. Mi Wen found a death row prisoner to replace him, which was considered "hiding the truth". As the lord, she naturally worried that the incident would be exposed and would damage her reputation.

As soon as dawn was dawn, a head was hanging in the market, and the people around him came forward to watch. County Magistrate Sun was "praising" Ye Shikai's "destroying relatives for justice". From time to time, there was a burst of fierce applause from time to time. In order to avoid being discovered, he waited until the next day before he secretly took the soldier out of the city. In order to prevent being recognized in the future, Ye Shikai gave him some money and placed him in a neighboring county. The matter was over.

One month later.

There is one thing Mi Wen is right. As she said before, "killing" this sergeant can get the support of the people of Linxiang City. There is a circulating in the streets and alleys that "General Ye, who fought against the wolf clan, was upright and killed criminal sergeants to correct military discipline and calm the hearts of the people." Coupled with the "propaganda" of County Magistrate Sun, Ye Shikai was portrayed as a great hero. Of course, his behavior can be regarded as a "hero".

"I heard that General Ye recruits soldiers in the south of the city. Everyone who enlists in the army will be rewarded with five taels of silver."

"Yes, there are notices in the north of the city."

"General Ye is a great hero, I want to go."

"I'm going, too."

Hearing that Ye Shikai recruited soldiers in Linxiang City, many young and middle-aged people were actively signing up like "being possessed". Many people went to the military camp to reward soldiers. Even the blacksmith shops built weapons day and night, and did not dare to slacken at all. Ye Shikai was "unknown" and all the quotas of 5,000 new recruits were recruited in just two days.

"Shangguan, how has your injuries recovered?" Ye Shikai walked into Shangguan Jian's tent with wine and meat.

"Haha, God has eyes, and he didn't take my life. Look, I've recovered as before." Shangguan Jian waved his fists and feet, not only did he recover well, but his spirit was also good.

"By the way, Lao Ye, I heard that the people in the city are actively signing up. Why do you only recruit 5,000 people? Now is a good opportunity for us to expand our army."

"Of course I know this, but the combat power of an army is not determined by the number of people. The overall cohesion and the cooperation between the sergeants are all crucial. After the battle in Dongjun, our vitality was severely damaged, and only one-fifth of the veterans were left. If we want to expand our army, we must have enough sergeant commanders. What commanders, they directly determine the combat power of the new recruits."

"I understand what you mean." Shangguan Jian nodded and said, when the army was fighting, the commanders were planning in the tent, but the actual executors of the military order were these "mainstagrams".

"So we can't be in a hurry. In addition, the new armament has not been built yet. We can't let the brothers go to the battlefield with firewood sticks." Ye Shikai sighed. Although Mi Wen fully supported them, the strength of the rebel army was still far from that of the Qin army. When he was in Dongjun, he had seen the Qin army's armory with his own eyes. This was not something that the rebel army could compare with.

"Okay, I'm cured now. After so long, my bones are almost loose. If you lack an officer, I'll help you train."

"Um."

"In addition, I expect that within one year, the Qin army will not go south, and the two sides will have a stalemate in Nanyang County and Nan County, so we have plenty of time."

"Why do you say that in a year?"
