Hearing Zhang Yulan recount Lu Ming's rise to power, both Princess Wannian and Cai Wenji seemed thoughtful. They weren't stupid; in fact, they were quite intelligent for women.
Only Princess Wannian frowned, her face filled with disgust, and said, "This man enjoys defiling other men's wives and daughters; he's utterly despicable, truly disgusting!"
No woman likes such a man—seizing the wife and daughters of his enemy sounds satisfying.
However, women are naturally inclined to see things from a woman's perspective, which is why they find Lu Ming so hateful and despicable.
But how could they possibly understand that none of them, after being with Lu Ming, would have a single complaint?
On the contrary, they would find it pleasurable, comfortable, even addictive.
The Grand Commandant's wife, Liu Liu, is a perfect example. Despite her advanced age, after being brought to orgasm by Lu Ming, she couldn't help but engage in adultery, even wanting to bear his child. She's simply a slut!
Shameless!
Indecent!
Cai Wenji frowned slightly, though she didn't say it aloud. Although disgusting, it was undeniably a form of repaying evil with evil. It wasn't like she intentionally harmed anyone, so there was nothing to condemn.
"Yes, it's quite disgusting," Zhang Yulan's eyes darted around. She had clearly seen Lu Ming's erect penis just now—very thick and large. It must feel very good!
Compared to traditional women bound by constraints, Zhang Yulan, while not promiscuous, still craved more.
Moreover, her husband had died long ago, and she hadn't remarried. She had expectations for such things and didn't shy away from them.
"Take a look, this is the prescription he left behind," Princess Wannian said, frowning slightly after glancing at it. "Hmph, all the same old thing, nothing new."
"Perhaps it's a unique secret recipe that wasn't written down," Zhang Yulan said, taking the prescription and examining it. It was indeed a set of predictable ingredients—it wouldn't kill anyone, but it wouldn't cure anyone either. In a way, it was just a perfunctory gesture.
But he couldn't say anything to him, because most doctors could prescribe this kind of medicine, and only this kind.
After leaving the princess's residence, Lu Ming went to inspect the military camp.
He examined the two hundred newly recruited soldiers. Some stood slouching, not looking like elite troops at all—no, not even like ordinary soldiers.
Frowning, he called Jiang Qin over. "Gongyi, starting tomorrow, train them using this method."
This method was essentially a last-place elimination system. The two hundred would start by running a race, and the last one would get no food.
Then they would compete in small teams, and the last-place team would also get no food.
Without pressure, there's no motivation. To motivate these wandering knights, this was the only way.
"This, my lord, what if there's a mutiny?" Jiang Qin was also somewhat surprised by this training method. With such high intensity, everyone might quit.
"Relax a bit for now. The first hundred will get meat, the next fifty will get rice, and the rest will get worse. The last one... well, heh heh, he'll just have wild vegetables! Gongyi, we're going to build our careers, we'll climb over the corpses of rebels, we can't be soft-hearted. Since they're not suitable, send them away. There will be more later. If you see any good ones, train them. You'll have the opportunity to lead troops in battle later, and each of your helpers will contribute to our success." Lu Ming was extremely experienced in dealing with these ordinary people.
He was putting pressure on them, offering rewards—clearly, he was creating a ranking system.
In the future, he would also select outstanding archers to form a sniper squad, specifically to intercept and kill squad leaders and other low-level commanders, causing the enemy's command system to collapse!
"Yes, my lord, I know what to do," Jiang Qin said, clasping his hands in a fist salute, feeling a surge of excitement. Success begins today!
Back at the mansion, Yi Jin and the others had already moved in. The former steward had become the deputy steward, reassigned some duties, and had his authority delegated.
Wang Huan was now utterly loyal. He knew his master was still rising in power, and as long as he did his job well, he could ensure his livelihood and keep his position.
"Master, this is an invitation from Tingwei Ping and Yuan Shu."
Lu Ming took it and glanced at it. It meant he was invited to a gathering at Tianxiang Tower that evening.
Tianxiang Tower was a notorious brothel in Luoyang.
"Hmm, go and get busy. Do a good job and don't let me down. If there are any problems, just tell me."
"Yes, Master." Wang Huan felt a surge of joy, his servant's obsequiousness displayed to the fullest.
Lu Ming summoned Yi Jin and her daughter, Wu Xian and her mother, and Wu Kuang's wife together. He ordered them to undress and, in the courtyard, dismissed the servants, leaving only the maids.
He then made them kneel and perform oral sex on him.
This behavior was utterly absurd, yet also a very clever tactic.
He was turning them all into wanton women, so that they would involuntarily become aroused in his presence.
Furthermore, having witnessed each other's wantonness, and having served each other together, their friendship would deepen, preventing them from targeting one another.
They were all equally wanton; there was nothing to say.
The five women remained silent, except for Yi Jin, who quickly knelt down, pulling her somewhat shy daughter, Wang Li, along.
They actively took Lu Ming's penis into their mouths and began sucking. She knew what men were thinking, and she knew that only by pleasing Lu Ming could she survive.
Right now, she wasn't even a concubine; her position was extremely awkward.
When Yi Jin and her daughter were the first to react, Zhang Shi was also slightly stunned. She immediately pulled her daughter, Wu Xian, to kneel down, vying for a spot to lick the man's penis.
Although it was shameful—competing to lick the penis of a boy whose genitals were still erect, especially in the courtyard, watched by the maids—it was utterly humiliating!
This was exactly the result Lu Ming wanted: to humiliate them, to shatter their self-esteem, to turn them into shameless sluts.
From now on, they would serve him wholeheartedly; that was where the pleasure lay.
Yang Lian gritted her teeth and squatted down as well, but there was no space left, so she could only lick the man's thighs. Suddenly, Lu Ming pressed her down on her buttocks. "Lick!"
Suppressing her shame and disgust, Yang Lian, tears streaming down her face, was forced to lick the man's anus.
This was a place for excretion; how could she possibly lick it with her tongue!
It was too disgusting!
She almost vomited!
She knew the man before her was a devil!
He killed her husband and son, and then tried to rape her—this beast, this scoundrel!
This scum!
But would it do any good?
No!
She could only submit, only yield!
