Finest Servant

Chapter 326 The Imperial Capital

Lin Wanrong fell into a slight reverie before speaking, "In our grand capital of Great Hua, beauty is all around. Everywhere you go, there's a scenic view. The street performances on Tianqiao, the snacks at the Chenghuang Temple, the bright moon over Xiangshan, all are renowned far and wide. Why don't we visit these places first?"

Yi Seung-Jae naturally wouldn't refuse. However, it was Ashile who frowned and said, "Master Lin, all these places are about food and fun. They are quite meaningless. Are there any other places, such as where you train your soldiers—"

"Training soldiers—" Lin Wanrong's brow furrowed, "Don't mention training soldiers to me. I got whipped yesterday and I'm still in pain today."

He then recounted the half-true, half-fabricated story of his experiences from the day before. Ashile exclaimed in surprise, "General Lin, you rule your soldiers so strictly that even you have to undergo corporal punishment for your own mistakes?"

"Strict? Not really," Lin Wanrong shook his head, "I'm just average. Under General Li Tai, we have a million soldiers, each possessing outstanding martial skills. They train far more strictly than I do, a hundred times over. The daily casualty rate stands at one in a hundred."

Ashile quickly grabbed hold of him, "Master Lin, do you have any soldiers with you? I would like to see the troops under your command."

Lin Wanrong looked troubled, "Well, my troops are just a bunch of insignificant soldiers, not worthy of any presentation. Perhaps it's best if we don't go. Instead, why don't we head to Tianxiang Building to enjoy some music? I know the courtesans there only sell their bodies, not their skills—"

Ashile, clearly anxious, interrupted him, "Master Lin, let's go watch your training. I am quite interested in military affairs."
