Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

At the same time, Hu Ningmin felt extremely distressed seeing his younger sister looking absent-minded and wiping away tears, and cursed Shen Hao in his heart.

So he stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "It's just Shen Hao, why is he making my sister so upset? Next time, I'll find you someone better."

Hu Ningyuan lowered her head and remained silent.

This gave Hu Ningmin a huge headache.

If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off not arranging this marriage.

Not only did he fail to get what he wanted, but he also got into a lot of trouble. What bad luck!

Hu Ningmin wasn't stupid; of course he knew why Shen Hao didn't want to marry his sister.

It must be because they didn't want to get involved with the Tongmenghui.

However, Hu Ningmin also felt that Shen Hao was not a good match.

With so many concubines in the family, isn't marrying your own sister into that family just pushing her into a fire pit?

I didn't think it was a big deal at first, but I never expected that my silly little sister would get caught up in it.

She looked like she would marry anyone but Shen Hao.

What a miscalculation!

Shen Hao had no idea about this.

Upon returning, Shen Hao immediately began recruiting soldiers.

In about three days, including captured soldiers and newly recruited soldiers, they managed to recruit 1.6 men.

Currently, a division's establishment is only two brigades with 10,000 men. Shen Hao's brigade alone has 10,000 men, which is already exceeding the standard. However, there are no established establishments for such a large number of people.

Thus, Shen Hao began the elimination process.

Those who smoke opium are excluded; those over 35 years old are not accepted; and those under 16 years old are not accepted.

After this round of elimination, only 12900 people remained.

Li Yunlong handed the list to Shen Hao.

"Brigade Commander, these are all young people, should we still eliminate them?"

Shen Hao nodded and said, "Continue the elimination process. Ten thousand people are enough. Starting tomorrow, we will increase the difficulty of the training. We will run five kilometers every day."

My target for you is to eliminate the last 100 people each day; those who are physically weak or slow to react should all be eliminated.

"Yes, Brigade Commander."

The next day, the main force was taken to Qinglong Mountain for training, an area that had been designated as a military control zone.

Everyone was surprised to see Shen Hao in the crowd.

Li Yunlong didn't care about anything else and shouted through a megaphone: "From now on, we'll have a 1.3-kilometer cross-country race every day, and we'll eliminate 100 people every day."

The last ones will be eliminated.

Moreover, the training will become increasingly difficult, and those who feel they can't handle the hardship will be the first to leave.

No one speaks.

Li Yunlong said, "Alright, let's begin."

"Yes, Deputy Brigade Commander Li."

Li Yunlong also started running first, and Shen Hao followed suit.

Seeing that the brigade commander and deputy brigade commander were running, everyone obediently followed behind.

However, they didn't think Shen Hao could run very far.

To their astonishment, Shen Hao ran five kilometers and, apart from sweating a little, wasn't very tired. He didn't even pant heavily, as if he had accomplished something insignificant.

The training was handed over to Li Yunlong, and Shen Hao was no longer involved.

He also had an important task: to take a concubine.

He needs to take eight concubines within a month, but currently only Bai Ling is available; he still needs seven more.

103. I'll be your concubine.

To Shen Hao's surprise, someone sent her a concubine as soon as she got back.

As soon as Shen Hao returned to the manor, someone informed him that someone was requesting an audience.

At first, Shen Hao thought it was a wealthy person from somewhere requesting an audience, but he was quite surprised when he saw who it was.

There was a woman sitting quietly on the stool.

Unlike women of this era, this woman had her hair all standing up and no headdress.

Her skin was very fair and flawless.

She had delicate features, an oval face, and bright, clear eyes that flashed with a fierce glint.

Wearing a light blue cheongsam, she perfectly showcased her graceful figure and outstanding demeanor.

She has an exceptionally beautiful face and figure.

However, this temperament is quite unique.

Like lotus flowers on a clear lake, they possess the gentleness of lotus and the elegance of water lilies.

Like a plum blossom in the cold wind, it carries an air of pride.

She's like both a rich heiress and a strong, independent woman.

This was contradictory, which surprised Shen Hao.

Who is this woman?

Upon seeing Shen Hao enter, the woman stood up, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Commander Shen."

Shen Hao nodded and asked, "Who are you? What do you want with me?"

The woman said calmly, "My name is Cheng Shuzhen, and I am the 13th leader of the Xianghualing gang."

Forehead?

Shen Hao was somewhat surprised. A bandit leader dared to come looking for him?

At this moment, Cheng Shuzhen brought in a stack of documents and handed them to Shen Hao.

Flipping through the documents, Shen Hao was somewhat surprised. This woman actually knew how to use a resume? That's quite an improvement.

It contains Cheng Shuzhen's experiences from childhood to adulthood.

Cheng Shuzhen is from Shixian County, Xiangxi.

She is a Zhuang woman who has been very beautiful since childhood and is a well-known beauty in the surrounding area of ​​Shixian County.

Seeing this, Shen Hao's expression turned strange. Damn it, this is the first time he's ever seen himself praising himself.

Seemingly sensing Shen Hao's gaze, Cheng Shuzhen's eyes darted away, and she subconsciously smoothed the stray hairs at her temples to hide her embarrassment.

As a female bandit leader, selling her body like this must have been quite a burden for her.

Shen Hao continued reading;

Because he grew up in a wealthy family, he preferred women's clothing to traditional Chinese makeup.

Influenced by her father, she learned to shoot and ride a horse. Her marksmanship was superb, and she also learned to shoot with both hands, earning her the nickname "Double-Gun Girl".

She was also noticed by Luo Laowai, the head of the security regiment in Shitou County, because of her beauty.

His father was killed, and in order to avenge him, he had no choice but to flee to western Hunan to seek refuge with Chen Yulou, the leader of the underworld in western Hunan.

She unexpectedly saved the leader of Xianghualing on the way and was taken in as his goddaughter.

Unexpectedly, the head of the gang adopted him because he was after his looks.

After a year, he killed the leader of Xianghualing with his dual pistols and became the leader of Xianghualing.

Last month, Luo Laowai discovered it and sent troops to besiege Xianghualing.

Of the 103 people in the entire stronghold, only I escaped.

After reviewing the information, Shen Hao was filled with doubt.

Luo Laowai? Chen Yulou? These are not characters from the novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

Luo Laowai's character is portrayed as greedy, lustful, and capable of all sorts of evil deeds.

Looking at Cheng Shuzhen's appearance, it's clear she's stunningly beautiful, no wonder Luo Laowai was tempted.

At present, Luo Laowai is just a security regiment leader, and his strength is far from sufficient, so Shen Hao doesn't take him seriously.

However, Shen Hao was not sure whether Luo Laowai and Chen Yulou were characters from "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

So he couldn't help but ask, "Who is this Chen Yulou?"

Cheng Shuzhen slowly said, "Chen Yulou, courtesy name Jintang, comes from a prominent family in Xiangyin. This year, his father retired as the head of the family."

Chen Yulou officially became the head of "Chang Sheng Shan", the largest underworld force in western Hunan.

The third-generation leader of a family of tomb raiders, the head of all tomb raiders in the land, and the leader of the Unloading Ridge Warriors.
