The female prisoners who had been whispering and complaining in the queue immediately fell silent.

Everyone stared at Lu Jing with the same look they had when they saw someone flying in the sky on a sword.

Meeting everyone's gazes, Lu Jing crossed his arms and asked with a smile, "Something to say?"

"have!"

Ji Tangtang was the first to raise his hand: "Lord Lu, we are not livestock."

Lu Jing nodded: "From now on, you are..."

"grown ups."

Wen Lanxiang, her face cold, was the second to join the group: "Training like this might cause injuries, wouldn't that just delay the training even more?"

"Who told you that having an injury means you can skip training?"

"?" Wen Lanxiang's eyes widened.

After the two, Jiang Duyue also raised her hand: "Lord Lu."

"Speak."

"After the formal training begins, will they make us eat feces and drink urine?"

vomit!

The sound of retching could be heard from all around.

Lu Jing suppressed a laugh: "If you want to eat it, I can arrange it for you..."

"Is there anything else wrong?"

Looking around at the women, no one raised their hand anymore. Lu Jing continued:

"In the afternoon, some carried logs and moved stones."

"There's also shuttle run sprint training."

"Rock climbing, swimming, concentration exercises, and your absolute favorite courage training."

"Extreme crawling, combat skills, tactical teamwork..."

I won't list them all.

Lu Jing closed the booklet: "In short, you'll have a very fulfilling day. Aren't you happy?"

The women did not answer. In the line, led by Ji Tangtang, several female prisoners rolled their eyes so hard they almost reached the top of their heads.

"Look how happy you are, you're speechless! Come on!"

Lu Jing raised his hand: "If you can't do it, then do it. Give yourself a pat on the back. Oh, pat on the back means to clap."

Do you expect us to applaud?

The women were both amused and exasperated. Was it really necessary to kill someone and then destroy their spirit?

Lu Jing's face darkened: "Don't you want to drum?"

"Of course I want to, Lord Lu! How could I not want to!"

Qin Liniang quickly took the lead in clapping.

clap clap clap-

She turned around: "Clap your hands quickly, are you trying to upset Lord Lu?"

clap clap clap...

The women sighed and clapped their hands, but the applause was sparse and intermittent, like sheep dropping beans.

The meeting concluded, but the drills continued.

Lu Jing started by having the female prisoners do one hundred sit-ups.

Amidst the rising and falling complaints, the women paired up and moved in pairs under Lu Jing's watchful eye, following his every command.

After dozens of sets, my lower abdomen felt like it had been ripped apart, burning with pain.

In addition to regular training, Lu Jing also tailored his teaching to individual needs, arranging separate training programs for female prisoners with special talents.

Take Jiang Duyue, for example; his ability to pinpoint the location of a flying stone by sound is unparalleled.

Lu Jing then focused on having her train her arm strength, while taking her into the forest to listen to the birds chirping in the trees, and then throwing stones at her.

Take Ye Qingqing for example; she is physically strong and possesses immense strength.

Lu Jing instructed her to do more weight-bearing and endurance training, while also practicing shield-wielding attack and defense routines by holding heavy objects to simulate shields.

At the end of the day, before going to bed at night, everyone's clothes were almost as stiff as a sheet of iron after washing up.

Sweat soaks through, then body heat dries it, then it soaks through again, then dries it again.

After repeating this several times, a layer of white alkali appeared on his clothes.

We need to solve the clothing problem quickly.

Lu Jing watched the female prisoners gather by the well to wash up, and thought to himself.

At the same time, we also need to get some medicine. During training, bumps and bruises are inevitable, but the lack of medicine has caused many female prisoners to have red and swollen wounds that have not gone down.

Even with alchemy furnaces, some special medicines, like ointments, cannot be made without specialized tools.

Lu Jing stared intently at the female prisoners, lost in thought, his gaze unfocused.

"what!"

Mu Jiangli covered her face and exclaimed, "Stop washing! Lord Lu is peeping!"

"Abba aba".

Nirumedo glanced at Lu Jing, pointed to her own eyes, and then pointed to everyone else.

"What do you mean?" Mu Jiangli didn't understand, and looked at the others, who also shook their heads.

Wen Lanxiang guessed, "Are you trying to say that Lord Lu was clearly looking at things openly and honestly?"

"Aba aba!"

Nirumedo nodded vigorously, while Mujiangli let out a disgusted "Eh."

"Go ahead and look."

Qin Liniang, shirtless, reached out and poked Mu Jiangli's buttocks, laughing, "Why are you covering up? It's not like Lord Lu hasn't seen it before."

"No, don't talk nonsense!" Mu Jiangli grabbed her clothes and ran away in a hurry.

The women behind them burst into laughter.

The fatigue from a day of hard training dissipated somewhat with the laughter.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Lu Jing and the women were awakened by Qi Xiaomei's startled cries.

"Lord Lu, come quick! Come quick!"

Without even bothering to put on a shirt, Lu Jing rushed out of the front yard, and the other female prisoners, hearing the commotion, followed suit.

Walking along the front wall, Qi Xiaomei, holding two stones, looked at Lu Jing with excited eyes.

"Sir, look."

"What are you looking at?"

"Look, I've picked up a rock!"

Before Lu Jing could speak, Wen Lanxiang frowned and said, "What's so strange about picking up a stone?"

"How is that not amazing?" Qi Xiaomei said excitedly. "Before, I could only barely lift one, but now look, I can lift two without even panting."

"yes!"

Lu Jing and the others' eyes lit up, and they gathered around, marveling at the sight.

"So, the Vitality Pill worked?"

"Yes, Lord Lu!"

Qi Xiaomei put down the stone, took Lu Jing's hand, and shook it as she said, "Let everyone eat. Although the increase in strength isn't that obvious, it's still a real improvement."

"Okay," Lu Jing waved his hand, "I'll arrange it right away."

Inside the alchemy furnace, the orange-red flames illuminated Lu Jing and Qi Xiaomei's faces.

One batch of Vitality Pills were extracted from them, placed on wooden trays, and then served to all the female prisoners, who then drank them with water.

Once a day for fifteen consecutive days.

The female prisoners' physical condition has changed significantly.

Running ten miles no longer leaves me breathless and strained; the muscles in my arms become stronger; doing push-ups no longer makes me sway, but makes me as slender as a stick that might break at any moment.

Lu Jing noticed the changes in everyone and realized it was time to put into practice the 'bold plan' that had been buried in his heart all along.

In the evening, after dinner.

Lu Jing gathered everyone together and announced:

"Tomorrow night, I will take you back to Anping County."

go back?!

The female prisoners shuddered and then surged forward.

They originally thought Lu Jing was going to announce something like adjustments to tomorrow's training, but they didn't expect him to be going back to Anping County.

"Lord Lu, why do we need to go back?"

Qin Liniang said worriedly, "That place is occupied by Wang Lu's army, and it's full of bandits. If we go there, won't we be sending ourselves to our deaths?"

The other female prisoners nodded, looked at Lu Jing, and waited for an answer.

Lu Jing gestured towards them with his lip: "It's up to you."

The women looked down and saw their tattered clothes; some of their pants were torn from the waist down to their calves, revealing glimpses of their long, snow-white legs.

"Besides clothes, we also lack medicine."

Lu Jing said with a serious expression, "I know that many of you have wounds from training that take several days to heal. If they are left untreated, they will become infected and you'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, Lanshancha instinctively turned her head slightly, noticing a large lump below her neck that hurt when pressed.

"And there's one more crucial point."

Lu Jing crossed his arms: "The rebels are about to find Baixi Mountain."
