The Poor Son-in-Law of the Tang Dynasty

When Hong Fu Nu saw Ye Chen, she immediately looked disgusted and disdainful. She first laughed and sent Chai Lingwu away, then stopped at the door and asked, "Why are you back again? Didn't you go to the military camp to report?"

"Go back to mother-in-law, I'll come back to get something, and I'll leave later."

Ye Chen was accustomed to Hong Fu Nu's attitude and didn't feel anything.

"Then hurry up, it's too late to report to the military camp, but it's a big crime!"

After finishing speaking, Hong Fu Nu turned around and left.

The housekeeper Li Qing smiled bitterly, sighed and said nothing.

Ye Chen was suddenly even more surprised.

What's going on here?

After entering the mansion, the maidservants and servants in the mansion also cast sympathetic looks at Ye Chen when they saw Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's sympathetic eyes have been there since the first day he entered the mansion, but today's sympathy seems to be stronger.

Ye Chen couldn't figure it out, and didn't bother to think about it so much. He strode back to his bedroom, got the amulet, put it in his arms carefully, and turned back out of the house.

After thinking about it, and making sure nothing was left behind, Ye Chen got on his horse and left in the dust.

……

Half an hour later, he came to a hillside outside the city, not far away was the fifth regiment's station.

The Fifth Regiment is an incomplete regiment. After returning from Tuyuhun, it suffered heavy losses and has not yet had time to replenish its troops.

According to the instructions above, it is best for each corps to recruit their own soldiers, and then report to the Ministry of War, otherwise, they will have to wait until the year of the monkey to replenish the soldiers.

Because now the court conscription is mainly supplemented by the Inner Palace Army, Shenwu Army, Longwu Army, and various guards.

The Standing Five Guards is almost like being raised by a stepmother. It doesn't matter if the resources are the least, and they don't even give them soldiers.

Fortunately, the imperial court is not poor now, and the military salary is paid accordingly, otherwise, the Five Guards might send out a group of deserters.

When they came to the fifth regiment, the staff on duty at the gate seemed to be doing nothing.

When the soldiers at the gate learned that Ye Chen was here to report, they didn't care at first, but later they heard that it was a flying cavalry captain, and they suddenly became serious.

"See Ye Feiqi for the humble job. I don't know that Feiqi came to report, but I hope you will forgive me!"

No matter how foolish the two low-level soldiers were, they did not dare to disrespect Ye Chen. This was one of the three highest-ranking lieutenants of the Fifth Regiment besides Captain Zhechong.

In the fifth regiment, Lieutenant Zhechong was the highest military officer.

Originally, the fifth regiment had a small 1000 troops, and each of the three flying cavalry captains was in charge of 300 troops. Among the 100 troops, some were the personal guards of Lieutenant Zhechong, some were logistics personnel, and some were intelligence personnel.

But now the fifth regiment does not even have 500 people.

The team Ye Chen was in charge of was even worse, with less than thirty people, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

When he came to his team, Ye Chen was speechless.

"Get up, get up, this is Ye Feiqi, the newcomer from the third division of our fifth regiment, why don't you salute quickly?"

The soldiers who led Ye Chen forward immediately asked everyone to stand up.

As soon as these people heard that the new boss had arrived, they quickly got up to greet them, and some of them needed support to stand still.

"Alright, alright."

Ye Chen's heart ached so badly, he waved his hand quickly: "Sit down."

This made everyone feel a lot easier.

"Hey, Ye Feiqi, then you take care of it here, I have something to do with my humble job, so let's go first."

Ye Chen waved his hand.

Immediately, he walked up to the crowd, looked at it for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Just this few people?"

A middle-aged man who looked like a veteran stood up and sighed bitterly: "Ye Feiqi, to tell you the truth, there were more than that in the beginning, but they were snatched away by the first team!"

"That's right, there are more than 100 people left in our three teams! Those who are healthy and experienced are all snatched away by them."

"Ye Feiqi, you have to decide for us!"

A group of people shouted, seemingly very aggrieved.

"Is there such a thing?"

Ye Chen was furious when he heard this.

On the first day he took office, he was bullied like this. If he doesn't even fart, how can he stand up in the army in the future?
Ye Chen immediately pointed to the veteran and asked, "What's your name?"

"Report to Feiqi, the humble name is Liu Heizi!"

"Liu Heizi, take me to the first team and bring our people back."

"Yes!"

Liu Heizi nodded with anger and determination, then walked up to Ye Chen and made a gesture of invitation: "Feiqi, please follow me!"

The first team is next door, not far away.

For the convenience of training, the three teams are separated by about [-] meters.

At this distance, on weekdays, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and no one can hinder anyone, but today the first team robbed the third team, and this is destined to cause some extraordinary events.

Ye Chen angrily followed Liu Heizi to Team One, and Liu Heizi immediately shouted, "Team One, return him to us!"

At this time, the people in the first team were playing and having fun, setting up a stove outside to eat barbecue, some eating barbecue, drinking alcohol, gambling, and even some people openly recruited women from brothels, pulling some women from brothels to do sports.

How does this look like an army?
It's almost like a kiln.

Hearing Liu Heizi's words, everyone was just stunned, but soon ignored him.

Those soldiers from the third team who were robbed were even more reluctant to leave at this time. They were so happy in the first team that they would only go back if they were fools!
Ye Chen integrated Bai Qi's abilities, as well as part of Bai Qi's personality and thoughts. Bai Qi's knowledge of how to run an army was all integrated in Ye Chen's mind.

In this situation, the soldiers were already numb, no matter what they said, they couldn't listen to it, not to mention that Ye Chen was just a young new official, without any prestige, no one would pay attention to him.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen sank into his dantian and shouted angrily: "Boss, come out!!!!"

This roar was like a torrent of bells, deafening to the ears, those who were close, even unconsciously covered their ears, showing pain on their faces.

After the yelling, a disheveled centurion walked out of the inner tent, who seemed to have just exercised.

"You, who the hell are you? I'm the temporary person in charge. What do you want from me?"

The team asked in an unhappy tone.

Who would be in a good mood if things were interrupted halfway through?
"You are in charge here?"

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, quietly brewing murderous intent.

As the saying goes, Guan Gong does not open his eyes, but opens them to kill.

No one noticed, Ye Chen quietly touched his waist with his hand.

Hanging on his waist was the saber he had just received from the Ministry of War. Except that it had been unsheathed when it was inspected by the forging department, it had not been unsheathed since Ye Chen got it.

"Yes, yes, what's the matter, we Chai Feiqi is not here, I am the biggest here, what's the matter with you?"

"Do you know that this is a serious violation of discipline?"

Ye Chen remained calm.

"Discipline violation? Discipline violation! We people, just for this little fun, come back from the expedition happily, what?"

That team was full of disdain, and the surrounding soldiers also laughed, as if mocking Ye Chen's immaturity.

"This is a capital offense, do you know?"

Ye Chen's eyes almost narrowed into a line.

"Capital crime? Haha, if you have the ability, come and kill me, come on! If you can have fun with the girl, it's worth dying—"

Zheng.

Before he finished speaking, following a crisp sound of unsheathing, the cold light passed by, and the voice of the captain stopped abruptly.
