Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 192 Breakthrough Round (7)

Only then did Dong Wu Niang notice that the purse was dusty and had just been covered in dirt.

I remember after she finished embroidering the purse, she excitedly took it to show her mother. What did her mother say at the time?

"Oh dear, Fifth Sister's embroidery skills will probably be ridiculed when she goes to her husband's family."

At the time, her mother was holding her and making a soft joke, and her father and siblings laughed at her when they saw it.

The Dong family has a very good family tradition. Although they don't all have the same mother, they get along very harmoniously.

Why would my father and mother say that?

Dong Wuniang couldn't understand it, so she squatted on the ground and wailed.

Gu Shijiu couldn't understand either: "Where did you get this wrong? Did you remember your home address wrong?"

Emperor: I knew it, he really is an idiot.

Cao Huan explained in a low voice, "Our daughter was kidnapped by bandits, and her innocence is gone. The Dong family would rather their daughter die than have someone who has been defiled."

Gu Shijiu was very surprised: "How could this be?"

They don't understand live streaming either.

"What is innocence? I don't understand, and I don't know either."

"Yeah, can someone explain this to me? I've never seen this culture before."

"Never seen +1 before."

"Having a child is so difficult, why does their family have eight children?"

"Yes, they don't even cherish their cubs. They raised their daughter to this age and then just abandoned her."

......

A few days later, with Cao Huan's encouragement, the group's condition improved somewhat.

Occasionally, he can say a few words.

However, given Dong Wuniang's experience, they dared not return to the clan, including those young men.

Listening to Cao Huan's report, Gu Shijiu sighed for the nth time: "It's another disaster."

"Third Sister, we are short-handed right now. When the cost of governance is low enough, a sufficient labor force is a positive return."

And now, if you want to manage these people, all you need to do is provide them with food. Is there a lower cost than that?

Cao Huan comforted Gu Shijiu, who was mourning the loss of grain, saying, "Compared to the benefits brought by a large population, the grain that was consumed is insignificant."

The emperor scoffed: "What can a bunch of women accomplish?"

Gu Shijiu didn't like hearing this: "Do you even consider yourself a man anymore?"

Who caused him to become like this? How dare the culprit say such a thing!

The emperor squatted in the corner, sulking.

Three months later.

It took Black Wind Stronghold three whole months to digest the swallowing of Wolf Fang Stronghold.

Because there are many women, a women's guard team was also formed in the village.

Of course, whether they were male or female bandits, the emperor was in charge of training them, and Li Gui was responsible for supervision.

Wang San led a group of people to reclaim wasteland in the back mountains.

Wolf Fang Village doesn't farm, but the people of Black Wind Village love farming. When they saw a large tract of land behind the mountain, they were almost ecstatic.

As for internal affairs, Cao Huan was in charge of handling them.

The bandits in the village today are very different from those of the past.

Although their physical condition is not as good as that of modern people, they are able to eat and drink their fill, which already surpasses 80% of the people in this era.

Gu Shijiu noticed that the people in the village looked much better; they had gained weight and looked better.

But the thought that all the food and drinks were paid for with her money caused her immense heartache.

"When will these people finally start making money for me?"

Cao Huan's expression was somewhat grave: "Third Sister, there's been a rebellion in the north."

She handed Gu Shijiu a piece of paper, which was written entirely in traditional Chinese characters.

Gu Shijiu couldn't understand: "Aren't rebellions happening everywhere?"

They witnessed several peasant uprisings along their journey.

"I'm worried they might be golden people from the mountains."

They are currently located in the southwest, where communication is difficult, and they are unsure who the rebels are.

"So what if they rebel? We'll just keep fighting all the time." Gu Shijiu was quite accepting of the idea of ​​fighting in the Central Plains.

The emperor scoffed: "A bunch of barbarians, at most they'll just steal some things."

Cao Huan reminded Gu Shijiu: "Third Sister, you've also studied history, we're in this period..."

If the Jurchens had succeeded, then—do you remember what happened after that?

Gu Shijiu suddenly stood up: "That's absolutely unacceptable!"

She didn't care who conquered the Central Plains, because in the end it would all be the same, but she was born in the Republic of China era.

From that day on, Gu Shijiu became incredibly energetic, constantly training his bandits whenever he had free time.

Several months later, news of another rebellion came from the south.

This was a massive operation, with the imperial court even sending troops to suppress it.

"The emperor doesn't have this, and it hasn't affected state affairs, so what use are you anyway?"

Gu Shijiu was not being sarcastic at all; she sincerely asked the emperor for advice.

But the emperor heard it differently.

He used to be able to stubbornly insist that a country cannot be without a ruler for even a day.

However, reality told him that it was possible.

The emperor grew increasingly despondent, and he even thought that it wouldn't be bad to just stay here and help train the bandits.

He had never heard of many of Cao Huan's ideas before, but he actually learned quite a bit from them.

Not long ago, a young man from a family with a strong academic background even came to seek refuge with us.

It is said that this man was both literate and skilled in martial arts. Because he offended local officials, his family members were all imprisoned, and he was the only one who managed to escape.

There was no way for someone like him to get justice from others, so he gritted his teeth and became a bandit in the mountains.

Gu Shijiu would certainly welcome such a talented person.

After testing his knowledge, they happily kept him there, and today they informed the emperor that he could return home.

"You want to send me away?" The emperor was almost in tears. He had helped the emperor with the exam just yesterday.

Gu Shijiu nodded: "I kept you here to train a fighting team. Didn't you say this person is no worse than you?"

"Then what are you still doing here? There are rebellions everywhere. You should go back and be the emperor."

Outrageous! Is it really that blatant to kick someone after they've served their purpose?

The emperor was furious: "Aren't you afraid I'll go back and immediately send troops to destroy your bandit den?"

"We'll talk about it once your army can get out. Cao Huan said that the rebellion in the north is quite large, and things aren't peaceful in the south either. You simply can't free up any troops."

Gu Shijiu said confidently, "Even if they really come, I'll just have to work a little harder."

She hasn't been idle lately either; she led Black Wind Stronghold to recruit all the bandits in the entire mountain.

She killed those who were utterly wicked, released those who were forced to go up the mountain and wanted to go home, and the rest followed her.

Today, Black Wind Stronghold has over a thousand members, entrenched in the mountains, making them quite difficult to capture.

Even if the emperor returned, he would be in a state of utter chaos and would have no chance to spare any troops.

While others might not know, the emperor knew all too well that this fearsome figure before him had no idea where his limits lay.

He was genuinely afraid that no matter how many soldiers he sent in, they would just be easy prey.

The emperor remained silent for a long time, no longer threatening Gu Shijiu, but still did not want to go back.

"You're not afraid to go back, are you?" Gu Shijiu blurted out, as if struck by a sudden inspiration.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was speechless, unable to utter a word, as someone who was known to be somewhat dim-witted had predicted it.

He is now physically disabled and dares not return to the palace.

Several months have passed; is there still a place for her in the palace?
