Chapter 36 Solutions to Problems
"Boss!"
Cao Yongxiang, who had been silent beside Li Dingguo, suddenly showed a hint of determination in his eyes after Tang Guangqiang and his men left.
He whispered in Li Dingguo's ear, "Looking at the current situation, the Eighth King will definitely evacuate this county in two months when the government troops arrive."
"Boss, what will happen to Xiao Douya and the others when the time comes?"
He continued in a low voice with a worried look on his face, "I heard that the government troops were even more cruel than us rebels in burning, killing and looting!"
"Moreover, I heard that a large number of government troops often kill innocent people to gain credit!"
At this point, Cao Yongxiang's eyes changed, and he whispered, "Little girls like Xiao Douya don't have the slightest ability to protect themselves. If they leave us, how can they survive?"
"Boss..."
He seemed to have made a decision, lowered his voice, and whispered in a way that only he and Li Dingguo could hear clearly, "There's no saying that girls can't practice martial arts!"
"Why don't we take some time out from today and find a way to quietly teach Xiao Douya and the others how to practice the basic martial arts boxing techniques."
"Maybe some of these little girls like Xiao Douya can become warriors through hard training?"
"In this way, even if we can't take them with us at that time, they still have a certain ability to protect themselves. Maybe they can survive in the future, and even meet us again. It's not impossible."
"As long as we are careful and don't let those young men who have been selected and eliminated by the warriors know about it, we can hide it from the eight kings."
Although Cao Yongxiang is a taciturn man, he has deep and innocent feelings for these orphan little girls with whom he used to live day and night.
He felt very upset when he thought that in two months he might not be able to leave Dingbian City with Xiao Douya and the others, and that their future lives would be unpredictable.
Although the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong had emphasized that the skills and techniques he taught them to practice must not be passed on to others, Cao Yongxiang did not care about that in order to prevent these little girls from suffering the expected misfortune.
"Ah."
Li Dingguo had this idea in mind. He nodded slightly and whispered to Cao Yongxiang, "Don't tell anyone else about this idea. Just the two of us should know it."
"Especially these orphan teenagers who were selected and eliminated here, we must not let them know."
"People's hearts are unpredictable. Once the secret is leaked and known to the king, the consequences will be unpredictable."
Li Dingguo, who had suffered countless beatings from society in his previous life and had the good fortune to come to this magical world from an era when everything was rebellious, knew too well the unpredictable nature of human hearts.
Don’t underestimate the dozen or so young warriors in your team and the orphans and beggars who were eliminated from the warrior selection here. They are all people you know well.
However, in Li Dingguo's previous life, he had seen countless "good brothers" who stabbed him in the back.
In his previous life in the 21st century, most of the people he had met were willing to sell out anything due to the temptation of profit or because of despicable human nature such as envy, jealousy and hatred.
It is common to kick someone when he is down, but it is rare to help someone in need.
Through this incident, Li Dingguo also thoroughly understood the pure conscience of Cao Yongxiang, a taciturn person. If he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely pay more attention to this guy. Like Xiao Douya, he is undoubtedly the only two friends he can trust in the world.
"Xiangzi, this matter needs to be done slowly. You must not act rashly or be too anxious, lest you make mistakes in a hurry."
Seeing Cao Yongxiang beside him nodding solemnly, Li Dingguo whispered again, "The cultivation of a warrior requires not only skills, but also various cultivation resources."
"I've thought about it. The only way for us to obtain training resources in the near future is when our team is out of town on a mission."
"When the time comes, I will look for an opportunity to temporarily leave the team, kill one or two level one monsters alone, and hide them in a relatively safe and secret place!"
"I heard that demon beasts are very different from wild beasts. Even a level one demon beast is at least twice as big as a wild beast of the same type!"
"Also, I heard that the meat of demon beasts is of very good quality and contains a large amount of spiritual energy. It is very different from ordinary meat."
"As long as you roast small pieces of monster meat, put them in clean bamboo tubes or other clean and non-toxic containers, and seal them, they can be stored for at least ten days without spoiling."
He told his plan, "As long as I take the time to kill one or two level one monsters every ten days or so while completing the tasks assigned by the king, it will be enough to meet the cultivation needs of Xiao Douya and the others."
"As for how many of Xiao Douya and the others have the cultivation qualifications to become warriors and can stimulate their blood and qi, it depends on their own talents and cannot be forced."
"I just hope that Xiao Douya and the others will have better luck."
For the time being, this is all Li Dingguo can do, and ultimately it will depend on the talents and qualifications of Xiao Douya and the others.
"Boss, this is great!"
As soon as Li Dingguo finished speaking, Cao Yongxiang turned his worry into joy and whispered, "Your plans are much more comprehensive and thoughtful than I thought!"
"Starting tomorrow, the king will take us to conduct actual combat training. Before long, he should allow us, the young warrior teams, to complete various actual combat training plans on our own."
"As the leader of the rebel army, the king has too many matters to deal with. It is impossible for him to always lead us with him."
"Just as he said, the cultivation of a warrior not only depends on strength, but also on everyone's luck."
"A warrior who is not lucky enough will die, even if he is a talented boy. It all depends on how strong his fate is."
The two of them quickly settled the matter and then stopped talking about it to avoid attracting attention.
Li Dingguo turned around and walked to Xiao Douya who was standing not far away and looking at him. He told her about his experiences during this period of time and answered some of her questions.
After more than a quarter of an hour, the warrior team led by Tang Guangqiang had finished purchasing large and small packages and returned.
Afterwards, Tang Guangqiang and Cao Yongxiang were responsible for leading people to distribute the purchased white flour buns to the friends gathered here one by one.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Dingguo led dozens of people here, carrying all the sundries they had just bought, and walked quickly towards the East City Land Temple not far away...
