Chapter 50 Entering the Military Camp, 100 Soldiers

The next day.

Wei Shuyu got up very early and went to the military camp early.

"Hey, my teeth aren't all better yet."

"That's right, brother, the Ice Pavilion is still waiting for me to help."

The two men looked miserable. They had thought Wei Shuyu was going to the military camp, so they came early in the morning to see him off.

As it turned out, Wei Shuyu had a sudden inspiration and brought the two of them along as well.

*Slap slap*

Wei Shuyu's slapping of his head became increasingly skillful.

"What does your bad teeth have to do with going to the military?"

"And you, you can't do math, you don't know how to run a business, what are you doing at the Ice Pavilion? Are you just making things worse?"

Wei Shuyu reprimanded him mercilessly.

“We still have to go to the Imperial College. If Dad finds out we skipped school, we’ll get another beating.”

"Yes, yes."

The two of them started making excuses again.

"Heh... You talk as if you've studied hard at the Imperial Academy."

Wei Shuyu's sarcasm was palpable.

"..."

The two felt both praised and insulted.

"Halt! This is a military camp, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach."

As soon as they arrived, the guards stopped them.

Wei Shuyu took out the token given to him by Qin Qiong.

The soldier took a look, and his expression immediately turned strange...

"You are Wei Shuyu?"

Is there a problem?

"No, come with me."

After he finished speaking, the soldier turned and led the way.

“Roar, not normal.” Choi Shin-ki muttered furtively.

"Yes, it's extremely abnormal!"

Fang Yi'ai chimed in, "The way he's looking at you is obviously strange, brother. This military camp is Cheng Huailiang's territory. Be careful, it might be a trap."

*Slap slap*

Wei Shuyu slapped him twice on the head with his other hand.

"He's usually so clueless, why does he have so many ideas now?"

"I came on His Majesty's orders, and Uncle Qin is also protecting me in the camp."

"Even if they had a hundred lives, would they dare to touch me?"

The two of them covered their heads in grievance.

We're doing this for your own good.

Seeing Wei Shuyu leave, the two hurriedly followed.

As Wei Shuyu walked through the camp, he saw the situation of the Tang Dynasty's military camp. Some soldiers were carrying things, some were patrolling and standing guard, and many soldiers were training.

As Wei Shuyu passed by the martial arts arena, he saw two generals fighting.

This made him stop and watch for a while.

It must be said that those who have truly come from the battlefield are ruthless in their attacks, often aiming straight for the vital points.

Urged on by the soldiers, the three continued onward...

"We've arrived, this is it."

The soldier pointed to a training area and left.

The three of them looked around...

Wow.

A dozen burly soldiers were practicing together, and some of them were wielding all sorts of weapons with great skill and flair.

Judging from their appearance, they are all elite soldiers!

"Hmph, the Cheng family didn't cheat us."

"Yeah, look at those muscles, I reckon he could take on ten Cheng Huailiangs by himself."

Choi Shin-ki and Bang Yi-ae excitedly discussed and commented on each other's work.

With this group of people, how could we possibly lose to that bastard Cheng Huailiang?

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace.

(P.S.: Before the thirteenth year of the Zhenguan era, court assemblies were held every three days.)

After reviewing the memorials, Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne and drank chilled orange juice.

"This Wei Shuyu is a bit slippery, but the things he produces are not bad."

After taking a sip, Li Shimin couldn't help but praise, "Shubao, have Wei Shuyu and Cheng Huailiang's soldiers been arranged?"

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."

Qin Qiong clasped his hands in a fist salute and replied, "Huai Liang is leading elite soldiers under Zhi Jie's command."

"What about Wei Shuyu's?"

Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"The hundred men led by Shuyu..."

"Eighty of them were veterans who were about to be discharged, and the remaining twenty were all the most disobedient troublemakers in the camp."

As Qin Qiong landed, Li Shimin's smile deepened.

The troublemakers in the camp are often the most difficult to deal with.

Disobedient, prone to causing trouble...

However, they each had their own strengths and were extremely powerful, which made the generals both love and hate them.

Often, one troublemaker in a camp is enough to give a general a headache; to have twenty at once... tsk tsk...

Let alone Wei Shuyu, who was just a little kid, even if Li Shimin himself were to manage him, it would still take a lot of effort.

"Not bad, not bad..."

Li Shimin was very satisfied.

Eighty-year-old veterans, twenty-year-old troublemakers.

Let's see how you, Wei Shuyu, win!

Don't let your own camp collapse during the battle; just thinking about that scene is unbearable.

After being suppressed by Wei Zheng for so long, Li Shimin suddenly realized that this was not only about marrying off his daughter, but also about his own face!

If Wei Shuyu loses, I can give him a good "encouragement".

Doesn't this also mean that they indirectly showed off in front of Wei Zheng?

We must win!

"Shubao, keep an eye on the military camp too, and make sure those soldiers don't hurt Shuyu."

Despite the resentment, Wei Zheng made significant contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin would never allow anything to happen to them.

"promise."

Military camp!

Choi Shin-ki and Fang Yi-ai were excited for a long time, then swaggered into the training ground with their pigeon-toed gait.

With his head held high and an arrogant demeanor, he was incredibly irritating.

"Stop training! General Wei has arrived! Come and greet him quickly!"

"That's right, that's right, why don't you come out and greet us, Naughty Naughty..."

The two men roared arrogantly, especially Choi Shin-ki, who was missing two front teeth, making his tone very strange.

Swish...

Sure enough, the dozen or so troublesome soldiers stopped what they were doing and all looked at the three of them.

Where is General Wei?

A soldier asked anxiously.

They were initially very dissatisfied with being transferred from their original units and ordered to come here to receive orders.

Upon seeing his new comrades, each of whom possessed exceptional skills, he was immediately tempted.

If the soldiers are that strong, then their leaders must be incredibly strong too.

Therefore, they deeply desire it.

Upon first hearing that General Wei was a great general, I was even more excited.

In ancient times, the titles of general and great general were not given lightly.

Especially in military camps!

Those who can be prefixed with "great" before "general" must be at least of the third rank or higher!

"Where is he? Where is General Wei, whom you're talking about?"

The dozen or so men looked around several times but couldn't find the so-called General Wei, and they immediately became anxious.

"You little brat, are you kidding us?"

One of the burly soldiers glared menacingly at Fang Yi'ai and Cui Shenji.

The two swallowed hard.

Although the two were audacious, being watched closely by more than a dozen well-dressed men would make anyone tremble with fear.

"Isn't this it..."

Both of them pointed at Wei Shuyu.

Wei Shuyu smiled warmly.

"Are you General Wei?"

The burly soldier walked straight between the two men, stood directly in front of Wei Shuyu, and questioned him condescendingly.

"I dare not accept the title of Grand General, but from now on, my rank is one level higher than yours, meaning I am your direct superior..."

Then, Wei Shuyu pointed to the others: "Of course, that includes you!"

boom!

A dozen soldiers were blown up.

What's the point of having a little kid as their leader?

Have we given up on them?

An endless rage spread through their hearts, and all the soldiers involuntarily clenched their fists.
