Chapter 308 Wanting That Position
With the approval of Xia Jinshan and Niu Cuihua, there were no major obstacles to Xia Miaomiao and Xie Axiang's engagement.
The next day, Yunyi went to Xia Jinshan's house with the village chief and several village elders.
Although the other party said they didn't want a betrothal gift, Yunyi still prepared eighteen taels and eight mace of cash as a gift. In addition, there were plenty of snacks, live fish, pork, and even two bolts of cloth, a pair of silver earrings, a silver hairpin, and a silver bracelet.
Of course, Xie Axiang signed IOUs for all of these, and they will have to be repaid later.
Such a dowry was unprecedented in the entire Xiajiazhuang village.
Xia Miaomiao was stunned. Seeing everyone talking, she hurriedly pulled Xie Axiang aside and asked, "Where did you get so much money?" Perhaps because she had no feelings for him, she didn't feel too embarrassed.
"It was prepared by the young lady." Xie Axiang smiled and scratched his head. "I have no family. Although the young lady is my master, she is also my family. Don't worry, the young lady is very good. I will work hard in the future and repay the young lady."
"Brother Xiang, I'm so sorry, I've dragged you into this."
"Miaomiao, don't say that. I'm sorry. I know you don't like me. It's okay. As long as you get through this, we can get a divorce. Of course, if you're willing to live with me, I'll treat you well."
“Okay.” Xia Miaomiao nodded. “If you’re willing to marry into my family and take care of our parents with me, I won’t divorce you. Let’s live a good life together from now on.”
"Okay." Xie Axiang blushed.
Xia He and Xia Fanshi knew that Yunyi had given so many betrothal gifts, and they offered to keep them. However, Niu Cuihua stopped them, saying, "I will keep my own daughter's betrothal gifts. I will give them to the young couple so that they can live a good life. No one should try to take advantage of my daughter."
Xia Fanshi knew that another disturbance was about to occur, but after glancing at the village chief and the others, she could only reluctantly shut her mouth.
Xia Dani consulted the almanac and set the wedding date for the sixth day of the third month. There were still half a month left, enough time to prepare for the wedding.
Yunyi sent a message to Zhou Jinghan, asking him to erase Xie Axiang's criminal record through official channels. The next day, she received feedback that the office in Black City that kept records of criminals had caught fire that night. Although the fire was quickly extinguished, it still destroyed the records of many people.
This includes information on everyone Yunyi rescued, including the Xiao and Gu families.
Yunyi couldn't help but give a thumbs up in her heart. If the data was gone, the official record could be erased after the criminal's death was reported.
Of course, these people all have tattoos on their faces. Once they are removed, they can start a new life and become completely free.
Others couldn't do it, but Yunyi's ointment easily washed away the tattoos on his face. So, Xie Axiang became the orphan Xie Axiang, and later became Xia Miaomiao's husband Xie Axiang.
We've just finished up to the point where the first seven-day wilderness survival training has ended. The first batch consisted of thirty-eight people, and only eight of them dropped out. The remaining thirty all passed the postgraduate entrance exam, so they're now moving on to the second phase of the exam.
After resting for two days, Yunyi sent the people back into the mountains for a ten-day survival training. Of course, the difficulty was increased, with additions such as wild animal ambushes and traps.
Yunyi also gave each of them a whistle. If anyone couldn't hold on any longer, they could blow the whistle, and someone would come to their rescue. But that also meant they were eliminated.
"Young Miss, I've discovered some truly promising talents here, but it's a shame they've been held back. If they had started practicing martial arts earlier, they might already be masters by now," Yun Hong said with some emotion.
“Ah Hong.” Yun Yi shook her head. “I never train them to become individual martial arts masters.”
"Huh? Then what do you want them to become?"
"I want their cohesion, I want them to learn to cooperate with each other, I want them to learn to fight together. Unless it is a contest with personal grudges, no war can be won by fighting alone."
Yun Hong's expression was somewhat complicated: "Young Miss, why does it feel like you're about to rebel?"
"Would you follow me if I rebelled?" Yun Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.
“We must follow! The current emperor is incompetent. Overthrowing him would be a blessing for the people.” Yun Hong immediately declared, “Miss, I’m serious. I’ll apply to be a vanguard when the time comes.”
"Alright, let's hurry up and go into the mountains." Yunyi patted her head. "If anyone else heard this, it would be a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of their family."
"I'm all alone. I don't even know my own surname, so where would I get the concept of nine generations of relatives?"
"Now that you are surnamed Yun, I am your ninth generation of relatives. Don't drag me into this."
"Hehe." Yun Hong laughed instantly. "Alright, Miss, I'm going into the mountains." Then she skipped away.
Yunyi watched Yunhong walk away before turning around and asking, "Second Master, do you like eavesdropping?"
Zhou Jingyu slowly walked out: "I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional."
Yun Yi remained noncommittal.
"How do you achieve the cohesion and coordinated combat you mentioned?" Zhou Jingyu didn't feel embarrassed at all, and instead asked his question. "Also, if an individual is a master, wouldn't that make them even more formidable in battle?"
Yunyi scrutinized him: "Your body can recover. Tell me first whether you want that position or not."
“I want to.” Zhou Jingyu pondered for a moment, then nodded. “After all, only when I reach that position can I seek justice for those who have been wronged, can I not be held back by others, can I have autonomy, can I…” He took a deep breath to calm his somewhat agitated emotions. “I’m sorry, I lost my composure just now.”
"Losing composure is the norm."
Zhou Jingyu smiled: "Would Yunyi be willing to lend me a hand?"
"You asked me to treat you before, and now you want me to help you seize the throne. Second Master, do you think I'm easy to talk to or easy to exploit?"
Zhou Jingyu was taken aback for a moment, then seemed a little embarrassed: "That's not what I meant, I just think... you have the ability."
"Yes, I have the ability, so why don't I become the empress myself?"
Zhou Jingyu opened his mouth, his eyes wide with shock: "You..."
"Can't you?"
"Hehe, okay." Zhou Jingyu quickly recovered and chuckled twice. "If you want it, I'll lend you a hand."
Yun Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, meeting Zhou Jingyu's gaze with a half-smile, and then slowly asked, "Zhou Jingyu, were your words just now sincere or insincere?"
