Chapter [-] - Training the New Army Fu Chen is a fledgling, punishing the old Ministry Yu Wang mercilessly

But Fu Chen has been in the camp for more than half a month, apart from participating in daily training and riding and archery practice, he has never seen Jia Yun in public again in the camp, so I don't know what he is busy with.

The top and bottom soldiers of the Red Armored Army were all selected from the top after two layers of selection. They practiced rigidly on weekdays, were reticent and silent, and did not express any attitude towards their arrival.Of course, the main reason for this is not only their daily behavior, but also the lingering aftermath of Fu Chen and his group's usurpation on the day they first joined the army.

Originally, this matter was not brought up again after it was resolved at that time, but the competition for the post that had been scheduled before was delayed, so that some soldiers began to discuss and speculate in private: it was this matter that made the generals angry, So the benefit of this upgrade should be cancelled.Of course, the group of people who started the incident couldn't swallow the bad breath, so more and more soldiers were mobilized to join the teams on both sides.

People from the two sides competed in private during the training, but the undercurrents kept these recruits who had just entered the battalion not long ago isolated, silently squeezed out everywhere, and planned outside their circle of action.

This day, when riding and shooting were just taking a break, Tang Lan took advantage of the gap to pull Fu Chen to rest on a haystack in the distance. He shook his head and sighed: "The red-armored guards are too ruthless, and the training time can't be extended on weekdays." Said, everyone is preoccupied, and they don’t tell me anything when they ask. Yesterday when I was cooking, I made a joke with the brother next to me. His face was gloomy, ouch... oh, stop talking, and talk to them In comparison, our Gyeonggi Auxiliary Army is simply a group of out-and-out soldiers! This is even more exaggerated than I first expected, and I really regret it now."

Fu Chen didn't say anything at first, but after a while he looked into Tang Lan's bored and wandering eyes, turned his head and said slowly: "Maybe everyone is trying to clear up the chaos as soon as possible, so let's stop fighting."

Hearing this, Tang Lan turned to look at Fu Chen, and said, "Why do I feel that you, Zi Jie, have been a little unhappy recently? Don't tell me you don't want to stay here anymore like me?"

He has always known that young people are usually quiet and docile, and he has never seen him have any uncomfortable resistance reactions when it comes to matters such as training, and he has always gritted his teeth and persevered until the end.If it's a sudden thought, it shouldn't be related to this, but the time when his sometimes inexplicable daze started happened to be during the period after entering the camp.

Tang Lan thought about it for a while, and then persuaded Fu Chen: "I still remember when you first came to the auxiliary army, we were divided into a room, although you stuttered at first, but every time you practice martial arts, you You always strive to be the first, and you even help me correct my sword skills in private. I knew you were gentle and kind. Compared with these new brothers in the Red Armored Army, our relationship is closer after all. Fortunately, we are still together today. If you have any troubles on your mind, just tell me, don't be bored blindly, how uncomfortable..."

Tang Lan stared at Yan Yingxiu's silhouette for a while, then turned her head again.

"Thank you, Tang Lan. Sometimes it's just that I'm used to thinking more about things, so I encounter things I can't figure out," Fu Chen leaned against the haystack, his eyes fixed on the far sky, and suddenly flashed for a moment and couldn't grasp it. Feeling confused and sad, he said, "I think many things are quite ridiculous. It seems that they are clearly arranged, but they can't grasp anything, and there are always unpredictable things blocking them."

After finishing speaking, maybe thinking about it was wrong, and added: "I'm talking about coming to Chijia's side, it's also possible... I'm not suitable to be here."

"Isn't it good to have things you can't guess?" Tang Lan smiled, "In this way, you can always have new experiences, new experiences, isn't the more terrifying thing not the same result? It's not like what you said ...What's more, your swordsmanship strength is here, and you entered the camp with your own ability. Who would think that you are not suitable here? Don't think too much..."

Fu Chen forced a smile and said, "Thank you."

"Hey," Tang Lan patted Fu Chen's shoulder, and said, "You and I have known each other for a year, why are you still so close, I want to—"

"What are you doing!"

A shout interrupted their conversation, they turned their heads, and a middle-aged man with the appearance of a military general came from behind the haystack, they recognized Liao Hui, the deputy general of the Red Armored Army, and hurriedly got up.

Tang Lan quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, General, we just felt tired after riding and shooting, so we rest here."

"Tired?" Liao Hui raised his eyebrows, and said coldly, "I, the soldiers of the Red Armored Army, never say they are tired. You two just joined the army, right? Hmph, don't think that you are superior to others because you are from the Gyeonggi Army! Everyone here is trained in the same way, if you get tired, go back!"

Liao Hui just listened to a few words behind the haystack, and found that these two people were actually chewing the tongues of the Red Armored Army behind their backs. A few days ago, he was exhausted by being disturbed by a few bastards under his command. At this time, when he saw the two newcomers speak freely, his anger rushed up.

Tang Lan was already annoyed by all kinds of restraints in the Chijia Army, but now he was even more annoyed, and couldn't help retorting: "Even the Gyeonggi Army didn't criticize soldiers so harshly! General, don't take this opportunity Making a fuss over a molehill... we didn't delay the normal training."

Liao Hui's eyes widened, and he was about to explode. Fu Chen was afraid of causing trouble, so he quickly stopped Tang Lan and said, "We are new here and don't know the rules. General, don't get angry. Let's go back to training now."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Tang Lan to leave.

"Wait!" Liao Hui scolded, "The army has military regulations. Those who run away from training without authorization will be punished with thirty sticks! Those who provoke without reason will be punished with thirty sticks! Those who contradict their superiors will be punished with forty sticks! There are a total of one hundred sticks! Go get the punishment first! "

Hearing the commotion here, the soldiers who gradually gathered to watch took a deep breath. The one-hundred-stick punishment would be such that they would not be able to get out of bed for a month or two. If it was a normal person, they might be directly disabled.So they all cast regretful glances at the two recruits in the middle, and some of them still held the indifference of watching a good show. All of a sudden, he fell in love with Liao Hui, who is known for his hot temper and strict training in the army.

"General," Fu Chen said in a deep voice, "it's true that we didn't obey the rules today. We're just newcomers, and we're not very familiar with military norms. Since it's our first offense, why don't we train for a few more hours every day this month? Guaranteed not to be lazy and skip training, and if you do it again, you will be punished by the general."

Seeing this emaciated young man stand up to bargain, Liao Hui snorted coldly, and was about to retort his refusal.

At this time, another general with a face appeared from the crowd. He looked older, with a smooth chin, and his official hat was decorated with gold pendant and mink tail. Fu Chen recognized him. He was another lieutenant general Lin who participated in the daily training flat.Seeing this scene, the latter opened his mouth to make a decision: "Give me a warning today, and the rod punishment will be avoided."

"According to your opinion, the military regulations will not be followed?" Liao Hui glanced at Lin Ping, raised his voice, and said again, "Oh, that's fine. But we can't just let it go."

"What are you going to do?" Lin Ping asked.

Liao Hui didn't wait to think about it, and said directly to Tang Lan: "Well, the military has always used force to compete for superiority. You compete with me. If you win, this matter is a warning. If you lose, then you will be punished yourself. stop."

He stared at the provocative young man with eyes full of anger just now, seeing that he was also hesitating at this moment, his eyeballs were moving left and right, obviously he did not dare to fight, he became more and more proud, and said: "What's the matter, people from the Jingji Army, If you have the guts to violate discipline, don’t you dare to fight?”

Liao Hui has been in the army for many years, how can these two recruits be able to parry, obviously he wants to go forward and teach them a lesson.Seeing him emphasizing the word "Gyeonggi Army", the soldiers onlookers added some malicious encouragement in their hearts: "Go up!...Go up!...If it's a man, go up and fight!"

Lin Ping frowned and stopped him: "Liao Hui! As an assistant general, you are going to compete with recruits. Isn't this deliberately deceiving? So what if you win!"

"If you win, you will be punished obediently," Liao Hui immediately retorted, obviously not overwhelmed by his words, "In the Red Armored Army, rewards and punishments are treated equally, there is no difference between generals and ordinary soldiers. I compare him with the most basic martial arts. How could you even bully him?"

Seeing his eloquence, Lin Ping was helpless, thinking about how to stop him.

"The bid is willing to compete with the general."

Liao Hui saw the curly-haired young man beside the other and whispered.

He didn't pay attention just now, but now Liao Hui took a closer look.I saw that the young man was even thinner, with curly hair hanging down in front of his forehead, which was a little messy, his eyes and expression were not clear, his back was slightly bent, and he looked deceptive.

Thinking that he was a brave hero, Liao Hui said with disdain: "Okay, let's go."

He walked to the competition stage, watched the soldiers voluntarily get out of the way, and set up a posture to watch the show.

Fu Chen drew out his sword and was about to go up to the stage to fight, Tang Lan reached out and grabbed his wrist, with a worried expression on his face, he said, "Zijie!"

"It's okay." Fu Chen hooked the corner of his mouth soothingly, said softly to him, and then walked up the steps.

Liao Hui shook his arms, showing off his strong muscles.Then he drew his knife out of its sheath, channeled some internal strength, and struck straight without the slightest sloppiness.

Fu Chen hurriedly dodged and circled behind him at a faster speed, the shadow of the sword flickered.

Liao Hui's plan to kill him with one blow fell through in an instant, and he was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect this kid to be capable, so he immediately responded seriously.

Fu Chen's footwork was wrong, and the sword in his hand kept spinning, which made people dazzled.

Liao Hui steadied his pace, counterattacked with a knife, and waited for the opponent's flaw to appear.

Fu Chen knew that the prophecy on the Wuming Mountain was gradually becoming effective. After joining the army for a year, he gradually felt that his internal strength was declining, until now he was completely unable to raise his energy, so he could only practice body skills at the foot of the mountain outside the camp every day, and catch him when necessary.But the disadvantage is that it lacks permanence, and the physical strength is extremely limited. Once the accuracy is not enough, it will send an empty leak to the opponent for no reason.

When the swords meet, there is a sharp squealing sound.

The two of them crossed each other for a moment, and out of the corner of Liao Hui's eyes, he caught a glimpse of the young man opposite him bowing his head forward. Under the curls of his long eyelashes, only a cold light could be seen in his originally dark eyes. His brows were sharp and his thin lips were tightly pursed. Like a wolf, he was frightened in his heart that this young man suddenly had such a strong momentum, so he stopped showing mercy and used force with his saber, making his moves fiercely.

The surrounding soldiers couldn't see the eyes of the two of them intertwined, they just changed from watching and sympathizing at the beginning to watching the moves attentively at this moment, and Tang Lan was also watching intently below.There is only one thought in everyone's mind, the new boy is not as weak as he appears on the surface.

After dozens of rounds, the two were still tied, and the fate of the sword did not slow down in the slightest.

Fu Chen was sweating on his forehead, and a drop of sweat suddenly moved and slid down into his right eye, his eyes suddenly became blurred, and he could only distinguish the figure in front of him in an instant.

He secretly said that something was wrong, exhaled lightly, and the coherent moves that were suddenly interrupted suddenly stopped. When it was urgent, he had no choice but to speed up the speed of the sword in his hand, wanting to end it quickly.

At this moment, Liao Hui, who was already red-eyed, immediately sensed the panic in his swordsmanship, knowing that this kid could finally lose his composure, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.The body turned suddenly, and after dodging Fu Chen's upward sword force, he used his internal strength to stab the air with the horizontal knife——

Everyone's breathing stopped.

The sudden burst of power from the blade seemed to cause the air around the blade to deform and twist, and Fu Chen didn't expect the blade to be so powerful, so he leaned back to avoid it.

A moment of life and death.

Everyone saw that the narrow waist wrapped with a wide black cloth belt suddenly bent back into an incredible arc, like a stretched bowstring stretched out in the air, with extremely strong toughness, almost at a right angle.

The power of the knife went straight down, but at this critical moment, a black unknown object flew out from the crowd, concentrating the same deep internal force, and shot straight forward, accurately sideways hitting the blade of the long knife, and the knife was turned sharply by the blow , the tip of the knife that was stabbing at the young man's throat was deflected to the right, and the whistling knife energy also trembled, and deflected to the young man's left cheek. In an instant, the skin was cut open, and a few drops of blood splashed.The young man finally had difficulty supporting his body, and fell sideways on the ground, with a loud and dull sound.

"Liao Hui."

A familiar low and cold voice suddenly sounded, like a hidden thunder.

All the soldiers were shocked, they couldn't believe their ears, they all turned their heads, and their eyes turned from the field to the black figure sitting behind the crowd who didn't know when.

"The tip of the knife is not aimed at one of our own."

The sound of pouring inner strength resounded throughout the camp.

All the soldiers were in complicated moods, mixed with excitement, joy and horror. They knelt together and clasped their fists together: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Yu!"

Liao Hui also hurriedly knelt down to salute, and gradually regained consciousness from the state of killing red eyes just now, leaving only panic and disbelief, and a mess in his heart.

The young man maintained the posture where he fell to the ground just now, stunned, obviously not yet recovered.He stared blankly at a small black bead that was still rolling on the ground in front of him. As the distance traveled became longer and longer, it slowly slowed down and stopped just at his feet.

Among the kneeling figures, Fu Chen quietly raised his head and rubbed his eyes.From the loose ends of curly hair, you can see into the eyes of King Yu in the distance, the eyelashes are covered, and the eyebrows are raised and protruding, so the eyes are blurred from a distance, just like two deep ravines on the face, piercing into the flesh and blood .He found that his face was the same as he had seen before, there was no emotion, and he never looked at him, but calmly stared at Liao Hui, who was kneeling and saluting a few feet away, looking at something.

There was a moment of silence, only the faint sound of the wind was heard.

"Get back down." Zong Zhengxi said slowly.

Zong Zhengxi was dressed in black and silver-patterned uniform, sitting upright on the wheelchair without moving a muscle.Fu Chen had already wandered off, thinking about where he was on the stage this time and the man was in the audience, why he still couldn't see him looking up, it was still the scorching feeling of being hard to ignore when he first met.

Liao Hui staggered to his feet, only to hear the man in front of him ask: "Liao Hui, as a lieutenant general, let me ask you, how should you deal with a rivalry according to military regulations?"

Liao Hui's rough voice fluctuated under the blowing of the wind, his wide lips trembling tremblingly: "According to the military law... it should be cut."

All the generals shivered, and Lin Ping who was standing next to him was also shocked, and said, "Your Highness!"

"Shut up." Zong Zhengxi interrupted Lin Ping's voice, and slowly turned his gaze to Fu Chen.

Fu Chen had recovered when he heard the beheading, and was also horrified by the strict military regulations in the red armor.Hearing the silence, he suddenly raised his head and saw Zong Zhengxi's eyes falling on him. Although the eyes were facing him, he couldn't see any change in them. It was just blindly quiet, maybe because of the distance, it seemed Facing him, he didn't seem to look at him.He thought he was being impolite, so he quickly got up and bowed his head, the knife marks on his cheeks were no longer oozing blood, the wind blew, the blood solidified together, and his crooked figure returned to the previous submissive appearance.

"What do you say?"

When the man's voice came, Fu Chen knew that he was asking himself the question, so he answered carefully: "Your Highness, General Liao just competed with the bidder in martial arts, and he didn't intend to do harm. Besides, it was because I practiced intermittently in the rest. To, General...the crime does not deserve death."

Zong Zhengxi said: "Since this is the case, the beheading will be spared, and you will bear the one hundred stick punishment just now."

The soldiers below were startled, it turned out that King Yu had already arrived at the beginning, and everyone was unaware of it.

"Liao Hui," Zong Zhengxi said, "Is that what you said just now that 'rewards and punishments are the same'?"

"It counts, your Highness's words naturally count," Liao Hui took a breath when he saw his life was saved, and replied, "The general will obey."

Zong Zhengxi turned his gaze back to the young man on the stage, and said, "You just said that this happened because of your laziness?"

Fu Chen, who originally thought this matter was over, felt anxious again: "Yes, Your Highness."

"Then this thirty-stick punishment for laziness and dereliction of duty, go down and collect it yourself."

Fu Chen nodded and saluted: "...I obey."

The man said again: "You have just joined the army, you don't know the military regulations, you provoke right and wrong, and you get an extra [-] sticks. Do you have any objections?"

Undoubtedly in a calm tone, what Fu Chen had heard before was the harshness of King Yu's rule of the army, but now he really saw it.

"Yes."

The generals of the Red Armored Army hadn't seen King Yu arrive for a year, and now they saw this scene of severe punishment before their excitement and joy arose, and they didn't know what it was like.Although Liao Hui is strict with his subordinates, he has been in the army with King Yu for many years, and has experienced countless life and death hardships together. His prestige in the army is still there. It is the first time that His Highness has not returned to the army after a year.All the generals invariably recalled King Yu's leg ailment and the banquet that he had invited to the mansion a month ago but he hadn't attended in person, and they didn't dare to think about it any further, just kept silent.

"I haven't returned from a long illness. I just returned to the camp today. I saw this scene of harming the same army. I was very sad. I heard that the personnel in the army have been changed recently. But no matter where you are from, once you are registered, you are a red-armored soldier, and you will never change for life." Zong Zhengxi glanced at the soldiers, and his cold voice finally tinged with some emotional sternness, "I am Dayan Red Armored Army The army has been established for a hundred years, and it is known for its solidarity, unity and loyalty. Now the Southern Barbarians are still alive, and the national troubles still exist. At this time of survival, if you dare not seek progress and start a new heart of internal strife, the country will perish and your relatives will be separated. It's not that you can take care of it."

Liao Hui bowed his head in shame, and clapped his hands together with the crowd to respond: "Remember Your Highness's instruction!"

Fu Chen stood among the soldiers, and an unspeakable emotion arose in his heart, which silently took root in his heart.

"Let's all go down and continue training," Zong Zhengxi ordered, "All the auxiliary generals will come to discuss matters at all times."

Zongzhengxi announced orders like a year ago, and secretly supervised everyone: After a long time, King Yu finally returned to the Red Armor Army this time.

Everyone had their own thoughts and took orders to disperse.

Fu Chen bowed his head, squatted down, and picked up the pearl on the ground. It was the size of a pearl, and the whole body was black, like a cold eye just looking into it.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

……

The stick hit the buttocks, making a muffled sound. Fu Chen lay prone on the wooden chair without saying a word, buried his head in his arms, the hair behind him was scattered, and his curly hair hung in the air, following the stick. The drawn air current floated up gently, then fell again.

"Fifty sticks, that's enough." Said the prisoner next to him, and walked out with the two executioners, leaving Fuchen alone in the tent.

The candles were dimly lit, and the people on the wooden chairs did not move for a long time.

Fu Chen felt tired all over his body, his thighs were extremely stiff, and a bone-piercing labor pain hit him again and again, making it difficult for him to get up.

He has very little internal strength, so when the stick is added to his body, he doesn't have any buffering force, it's all like hitting an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts.

In a daze, he suddenly felt someone touch his shoulder, he raised his head from his arms, and met a pair of peach blossom eyes full of anxiety and worry.

He was used to seeing Tang Lan's eyes full of pride and contentment, but he had never seen them turning red.

Fu Chen's heart warmed, and he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm fine... It's only fifty sticks, which is already much better than the one hundred sticks I set at the beginning."

Tang Lan's eyes were even more flushed, and she didn't bother to pierce his clumsy words of comfort. She lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice: "Just now, when King Yu asked about being lazy, why didn't you confess to me? Obviously, I pulled you out today, and I was the one who contradicted you first. Liao Hui's, these fifty sticks should have been mine!"

Fu Chen smiled and said: "One more person is worse than one less. I have already received fifty sticks, so what's the use of pulling you in again? It's just that you will suffer together with me."

Tang Lan retorted: "What about you? Why do you have to bear everything without doing anything?"

Why should I take on everything without doing anything?

Fu Chen's comforting smile stuck on his face, his thoughts were flying, he turned his head and said nothing.

After a while, he turned his head again, still smiling: "I'm lazy too, how can I say nothing... Maybe I should."

Tang Lan gently lifted Fu Chen's hair that fell on the left cheek to the back of his ear, revealing the knife wound from the daytime martial arts competition. At this time, the blood had already solidified on the scar. The dry crimson and pale complexion looked like a A flamboyant centipede crouching on plain rice paper.

Fu Chen felt a chill on his cheeks, it was Tang Lan who applied the ointment on his face.The ointment was silky smooth, but it made Fu Chen feel that his skin was painful.

Tang Lan finished applying the ointment carefully, and asked softly, "Can you still get up?"

Fu Chen nodded, got up stiffly, pulled his gluteal muscle violently, and there was another stabbing pain, he gritted his teeth and endured it without saying a word.

Tang Lan squatted down in front of the wooden chair, turned her back to Fu Chen, and motioned for him to lie down: "Let's go back to the camp to rest first."

Fu Chen moved slowly, and was about to stand up, when the door curtain was lifted again suddenly, and a soldier with an unfamiliar appearance came in and said, "Fu Chen? Your Highness asked you to go to the commander's tent."

"What?" Tang Lan raised his eyebrows, "Can't you leave if you don't see this person? How can you go to the account!"

"Ah?" The soldier sized him up, but also showed embarrassment, "Your Highness has just returned to the camp, and the order is difficult to disobey... I can't be the master either."

"I'll go," Fu Chen said softly, and patted Tang Lan's shoulder again, signaling him not to cause any more trouble, "It's not yet disabled, so don't make a big fuss."

Tang Lan had no choice but to carry Fu Chen on his back, and followed the soldier to the commander's tent.

As soon as he entered the handsome tent, everyone in the tent was stunned.

Tang Lan bent over to let Fu Chen get down, and Fu Chen had to straighten up as soon as he landed. Before he could stand still, he felt pain in his thigh, his waist went limp, and he knelt down on the ground with a "bang".I can't stand or sit down in a stalemate, and I can't move in the same posture.

Zong Zhengxi looked at the young man with curly hair and messy hair, his eyes hidden behind his hair, bowed and kneeled on the ground, with a docile and harmless appearance, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

The lieutenant general Lin Ping next to him was also surprised, and reprimanded the soldiers who had just entered the door: "Didn't you tell them to use the cane tomorrow morning? Why did you have to use the cane this afternoon?"

The soldier looked confused: "This... the mark is not clear."

"General, don't blame your subordinates. It was Fu Chen who knew he was ashamed, so he let them do it earlier," Fu Chen replied meekly, "I have made my own decision, and I ask the general to come down."

"If you look like this, you will be exonerated. I didn't inform you when you will be punished," another strong lieutenant next to him said to the soldier. of!"

The person who said this was Jiao Shiling, and Fu Chen and Tang Lan were trained in his command camp, so it was inevitable that he had a biased mind at this time.

The soldier looked embarrassed again: "This... His Highness ordered... I dare not disobey."

He just severely punished everyone on the field today, how could he disobey Zong Zhengxi's order at this moment, just a mere soldier.

Jiao Shiling was blocked back, and he also turned his head to quietly observe Zong Zhengxi's face, but unfortunately that person's expression was indifferent, showing no joy or anger.

Zong Zhengxi said, "Since we're here, let's explain as planned."

Lin Ping said to Tang Lan and the young soldier, "Retire first."

Tang Lan glanced at Fu Chen again before leaving, Fu Chen nodded reassuringly.

Lin Ping looked at the audience, and said, "Fu Chen, I called you here today because of the layout of the Red Armored Army."

Fu Chen suppressed his surprise and listened carefully.

"You were selected first in the Gyeonggi Army Competition, but what is the overall level of the Gyeonggi Army? You have been training in the Chijia Battalion for a long time. Don't underestimate yourself, relying on your fight with Liao Hui in the afternoon, your martial arts strength is beyond doubt, and we all see it." Lin Ping said.

Liao Hui, who was sitting silently at the side, was expressionless when he heard the words, and looked at the young man indifferently.

"But just now His Highness thought that although you have superb swordsmanship, your internal strength is insufficient. This is a major shortcoming, so it is not suitable for long-term combat. I don't know if you have noticed this in practice?" Lin Ping said step by step.

"Biao Xia understands," Fu Chen said indifferently, the man in front of him named Lin Ping was a martial official like Jia Yun, he didn't want to show any good looks, "Biao Xia was ill when he was young, he lost his internal energy, and couldn't mobilize when he was practicing martial arts. rise."

"It doesn't matter, if you make good use of this temporary defect, there will be other benefits," Lin Ping said without further arguing, "You must also know that the southern barbarians are mostly plains and hills, and the cavalry is more developed than the infantry. It is exactly the opposite of our Yan army. Our infantry has a large number of infantry, while the cavalry only has heavy cavalry who are delayed, marching cumbersomely, and have weak overall response capabilities. Instead, they are light cavalry, which are more mobile and can fight alone. Only light cavalry requires stature You are a flexible person, you have been selected in the army for a long time, His Highness prefers to let you participate in the leadership training of the newly promoted light cavalry battalion, and would like to ask your wishes."

Fu Chen understood, and replied: "I am willing to follow His Highness's arrangement."

Lin Ping turned his head to look at the seated person, Zong Zhengxi looked from the young man's curly hair down to his cheek, and said in a low voice, "Are you a barbarian?"

The appearance of this barbarian can only be known by looking at the person in the seat, and of course no one knows better than him.When everyone heard that King Yu came here to ask, they didn't know what kind of thoughts they had.

"My father is from Yan, and my mother is from barbarian." Fu Chen knew that there was nothing to hide about his physical appearance, so he said truthfully.

Zong Zhengxi lowered his eyes and scanned the records of soldiers' information registered on the table, and asked, "Have you ever been to a barbaric land?"

"No, Da Xiaotong and my mother live in Yancheng."

"Okay," Zong Zhengxi stopped asking, and said, "What you just said is not achieved in a day, so don't rush for success."

Fu Chen looked up at the man, and replied, "I understand."

Zong Zhengxi saw the centipede-like scar on his left cheek that moved with his words and movements when he raised his head. At this moment, there were still some sticky blood stains and a few strands of black black hair attached, which was quite terrifying.

Seeing that King Yu didn't say anything more, Lin Ping added in a harmonious voice: "If you have any questions, you can always ask the general to solve them. Before the heavy cavalry belongs to...uh... Liao Hui's supervisor, you can be transferred to General Liao's command for the time being. Coordinate the layout among the cavalry."

Liao Hui was seated beside him. Although his face remained indifferent, he was a little restless when he heard that Fu Chen was executed early because of shame. Turning away from looking at his face.

Fu Chen didn't say much, he just followed the arrangement blindly.All he thought about was that he would have to train with Tang Lan in a separate camp, maybe... it might not be a bad thing.

The generals saw the young man's docile and gentle appearance, although he didn't show much on his face, they couldn't help doubting the feasibility of King Yu's just recommendation for him to lead the light cavalry.

Among the generals present, except for Lin Ping, who witnessed the whole process, the others only just heard about the conflict between this young man and Liao Hui today.This class of soldiers who refuse to obey discipline is not liked by the crowd, and after combining their expressions and temperament, they seem to be a hard-working man, so they inevitably have various opinions and intentions.It was only because King Yu took the lead in planning, and it was rare to return to the army to discuss matters, so it was not good to ask too many questions at this time to delay time, so they all took some look, ready to see how capable he was.

When Fu Chen took the order and went out of the tent with pain, the tent returned to silence.

"After the recruits are settled, it's time to settle some old affairs." Zongzheng Xi said.

The generals beat drums in their hearts.

Zong Zhengxi closed the roster on the table, and pulled out a piece of paper from the bottom of the book, on which were also dotted with the names of people. It was difficult for the people sitting on both sides to read the words on it, but they felt nervous for no reason. .

Zong Zhengxi didn't seem to see the expressions on everyone's faces, he just said: "It seems that the military has not been peaceful this year."

Once these words are spoken, no one dares to accept them.

Everyone obviously heard the meaning of Xingshi's questioning, and quickly thought about how to answer if they were called out later.

"Don't talk about the past, just talk about the present," Zong Zhengxi took a step back, and said calmly, "I heard that there are soldiers secretly gathering soldiers and fighting among themselves in private."

"Liao Hui," Zong Zhengxi narrowed his eyes, the generals below were silent, so he had to come to roll call, "Tell me about it."

Liao Hui knew that since Zong Zhengxi was able to ask this question, he naturally knew the cause and effect of this matter, so he replied briefly: "Your Highness, the cause of this matter is that some soldiers secretly stole from the military account. The content of the credit book was falsified, and then some soldiers exposed the thieves, and the two parties framed each other, and then the disturbance expanded and became more serious."

"The general pleads guilty," Liao Hui said first, "the first person who was exposed to steal the book was a soldier under my battalion. After they made a big fuss, the general has imposed punishment measures of gathering people to fight in accordance with military regulations. I dare not Make them fool around."

"Then what crime are you asking for?" Zongzheng Xi asked.

"Managing soldiers is a crime of inappropriateness." Liao Hui replied.

"No hurry," Zong Zhengxi looked leisurely, and he didn't rush to draw conclusions. He just listened to him and said, "Now go through one by one. First of all, who is keeping the credit book in the military account? How? Let it be easily stolen by subordinate soldiers?"

Liao Hui was choked all of a sudden, Lin Ping saw his hesitation, and explained from the side: "His Royal Highness, during your retreat for a year, the book is still guarded by the admiral according to the usual practice, but... Liao Hui said that he would personally Checked and added the credit for the subordinates in the battalion to the battle in Qiannan, so I got back the list of soldiers under his account from the admiral. The one that was stolen later was this."

"Okay," Zong Zhengxi glanced at Liao Hui, his complexion difficult to distinguish, and said, "Then these soldiers who caused trouble are all from your camp?"

"Return to Your Highness," Jiao Shiling came out and said, "Later, the account of the last general was also involved, but...the number of soldiers involved was very wide. Later, except for the recruits, almost every battalion was involved."

The generals in the tent all looked embarrassed.

"You guys really didn't disappoint me," Zongzheng Xi said with a sarcasm on his lips, "I just passed the order down and transferred a soldier, and this can happen."

"Return to Your Highness," Xu Enguang intended to ease the atmosphere, "During the year you were away, the daily training in the army has actually continued as usual, and all the soldiers in the battalion have not neglected their training."

"Yes, you didn't waste your training," Zongzheng Xi said, "but I just need to give you a little bait, and it can collapse into a piece of loose sand in an instant."

"On the battlefield, we are indeed brothers who share the same hatred, but what happens after we come back? We can't hold back anymore, and we have to share the pain, not the joy?" Zong Zhengxi lowered his eyes, with a flash of tiredness, Disappeared in a flash, "You are like this, I can hardly imagine, how many years ago, among the brothers who fought together, selfishness has already begun in their hearts..."

Everyone felt ashamed and sad, and Jiao Shiling said: "Your Highness may be thinking too much. Apart from fighting together, the brothers also want to fight for some benefits for the wives and children at home. If you really say what the soldiers in the camp think, it should be …When His Highness was injured and couldn’t return to the army, the soldiers in the army were also frustrated. Now that His Highness can come back and continue to guard the army, it must be comforting to the soldiers in the army and calm down.”

Zong Zhengxi looked at him and said, "Are you really sure, it's not because they know that I can't go back to the army instead of wanting me to go back to the army?"

The generals present who understood the slightly convoluted words were shocked.

"Since this matter has already been punished, let's end it like this first," Zong Zhengxi said without further ado, "Liao Hui, in my list here, your cavalry battalion is the one that started the trouble the most, here you are. Penalty for one year, do you have any objections?"

"No objection." Liao Hui said, not daring to raise any objection.

"Then go back," Zong Zhengxi ordered, "Lin Ping, stay here for a while."

All will retreat.

There was no one else in the waiting room, so Lin Ping stepped forward a few steps and waited for orders.

Zong Zhengxi whispered to him, "These people at the banquet just now were all invited by me that day."

Lin Ping nodded, but felt a little nervous.

"Secretly find out for me, who among these few people revealed the news that I was assigned military power and it was difficult to return to the army." Zongzheng Xi said.

Lin Ping raised his eyebrows, hesitantly said: "That day... the last general is also within the scope of the banquet invitation, Your Highness doesn't doubt the last general?"

"I don't doubt you," Zongzheng Xi said calmly, "You and Jia Yun are both from military official background, and they work hard. It's not necessary to suspect people, he taught me the truth."

"Yes," Lin Ping
