Chapter 65: Chapter Sixty-Four: Training

At the same time, he privately kept asking Li Qinxiang and others for advice; he also insisted on leading by example to quickly integrate into cold-weapon warfare. However, since both he and Wu Dading's father had spent their entire lives in military service, they already knew a great deal from long exposure, so they learned extremely fast!

Regarding this sudden intensive archery training, hoping to produce master archers in one or two months was simply nonsense; Li You never even thought in that direction, but instead had his own little scheme.

That night, after finishing the thirty-third chapter of "The Complete Story of Yue Fei," perhaps because Li You's killing intent had been too heavy during the day, whether mine workers, salt slaves, or archers, everyone returned early to their new rooms and went to sleep.

Li You estimated it was only around eight or nine o'clock; for someone who had once been a night owl, he simply couldn't sleep. With the candle lit, he found he couldn't get into the "History of Song" in his hands no matter what.

At dinner, Wu Zhuge sent a message asking him to go to Beizhai the next day to discuss matters.

This made Li You very excited; he wished the sky would brighten sooner. If things remained calm and peaceful forever, when would he ever rise quickly to a high position?

Suddenly, a group of children started making a racket next door. Since it was a simple thatched hut, soundproofing was naturally very poor, so the little girl's voice was extremely clear...

"I can't sleep; I'm still thinking about what Mr. told us after dinner yesterday, 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.' Sigh... If I could grow up to be Snow White, that would be wonderful..."

"Hee hee!"

Da Niu smiled; actually, since Mr. finished telling the story, he had also been constantly envisioning it in his mind, but he was honest and plain-spoken, not good with words.

"Hoo hoo..." Little Orange turned over and continued snoring softly.

"Little girl, with you, you probably can't be Snow White!!"

Song Baishun's voice, sharp and cutting, rang out.

"Why? Mr. said that as long as we are kind, we girls are the most beautiful. I think I am very kind, just as kind as the Ugly Duckling and Snow White!"

"Hmm! Kind? No, no! Didn't the Magic Mirror make it very clear? Snow White was envied by the Queen because she was beautiful! She was let go by the hunter because she was beautiful! She was taken in by the dwarfs because she was beautiful, and finally woken by the prince's kiss because she was beautiful... Do you understand Mr.'s true intention?"

"What is it?"

The little girl's voice was somewhat weak.

"You, you can only write a few nice characters. Heh, rotten wood cannot be carved! Mr. wants to tell us: kindness is useless; women must be-----beautiful!"

"Makes sense, that's right!"

Hei Liuzi was the first to chime in.

"Is that what Mr. meant?"

Yu Zhengchun's mind turned slowly; he felt something was off.

With so many people speaking up, the little girl fell completely silent at once; she must have felt terrible. She was short, with a somewhat large frame, a round puffy face, dark as night, and a flat nose.

After a long while, she said: "Then... then I was just born ugly; I can't help it. My parents gave me this. Could it be that I'm not even allowed to have a daydream?"

"I think ugly people shouldn't even be alive! How dare you have daydreams? At your age, if you were Huo Qubing, you'd need the Seven Star Lamp to extend your life, yet you still dare to have daydreams?"

"Damn!"

Li You spat out a mouthful of water; having held back all this time, he could no longer restrain himself and shouted: "Song Baishun, get over here!"
