On the training ground, the defeated youths' previously low spirits vanished upon hearing the emperor's edict.

They still have hope; they can return here again and continue to fight for their goals and vows!

"Long live the Emperor!!"

Chen Li and the other temporarily eliminated teenagers in the crowd couldn't help but have their eyes turn red and shout out excitedly.

"Long live Your Majesty!!!"

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and others also shouted in unison. In their view, the fact that the emperor was giving his comrades a second chance demonstrated his benevolence and greatness, further strengthening their resolve to be loyal and follow him to the death.

It must be said that Liu Hong had a very accurate and thorough grasp of the psychology of teenagers, and successfully used this to cultivate them into his loyal followers!

Before long, the eliminated teenagers left the training ground and returned to their dormitories to pack their belongings, arranged by Xu Rong and others.

At the gate of the Imperial Guard Camp, the young men carrying their luggage all looked at the three large characters "Imperial Guard Camp" above the gate, which were written by Liu Hong himself. Their eyes were filled with reluctance.

"Next year... I will definitely come back!!"

Chen Li looked at the three large characters with a firm expression, then gave a military salute. The other youths, like Chen Li, silently made a vow in their hearts, and then turned and left.

Inside the Imperial Guard Camp, under the arrangement of Xu Rong, Zhu Jun, and others, everyone was once again rearranged and regrouped.

"Haha~ Benchu, Mengde, Xuande, we can finally be together again!"

Inside the dormitory of the tenth group, Chen Qian and Wang Nan approached Yuan Shao and the others with joyful expressions.

"Yes, we can be together again! It's just a pity that Chen Li is gone!"

Yuan Shao welcomed the two back to the team with a big smile, but couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Chen Li, who had been eliminated.

Meanwhile, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Dian Wei were also assigned to the fifteenth group, where Sun Jian was.

"You're Sun Jian, the one known as the Fierce Tiger? You look like a sick kitten..."

Seeing that Sun Jian was half a head shorter than him, and with Yan Liang and Dian Wei backing him up, Wen Chou immediately went to Sun Jian to provoke him, in order to secure his and others' future position in the fifteenth group.

"Hmph, you scoundrel!"

Although Sun Jian was tolerant and magnanimous, he would not give a kind look to someone who deliberately provoked him. Although he was wary of Dian Wei behind Wen Chou, he remained fearless.

"What?! You dare to insult me?! I'll teach you a lesson today!!"

As they were talking, Wen Chou glared and stepped forward to make a move, while Sun Jian's expression darkened and he leaned forward slightly.

"Second brother, don't cause trouble!!"

Yan Liang, who was standing nearby, quickly pulled Wen Chou back. Sun Jian's actions just now made Yan Liang feel a sense of danger, and he knew that Wen Chou was definitely no match for Sun Jian.

"Everyone assemble!!"

Just then, the group leader's voice came from outside the dormitory, asking everyone to assemble.

"Hmph~ You're lucky today!"

Wen Chou snorted coldly and glared at Sun Jian. He had sensed danger for a moment, and although he was wary of Sun Jian, he still put on a brave face.

Soon, everyone gathered on the training ground again. Song Dian had already left, while Zhang Xiu remained.

"Hey, Lao Dian, do you really think you can beat Sun Jian?"

In the queue, Wen Chou nudged Dian Wei beside him and asked softly, then looked at Sun Jian at the front of the queue.

Dian Wei glanced at Sun Jian ahead and said in a gruff voice, "We can win on foot! But we can't win on horseback!!"

"Uh... Lao Dian, you... you've learned to ride a horse??"

Wen Chou was slightly taken aback and gave Dian Wei a strange look.

"No!!"

Dian Wei's face darkened, and he shook his head.

In fact, every three days, the young men of the Imperial Guard would be arranged to have equestrian training. Others either already knew how to ride or learned it after a few tries, but Dian Wei just couldn't learn. Sometimes he couldn't even get on the horse, which caused quite a few laughs.

How can one be a general if one cannot ride a horse? Dian Wei was very troubled by this. Yan Liang and Wen Chou often took Dian Wei to the horse farm to practice secretly, but they still could not get the hang of it.

Therefore, engaging in immediate combat became Dian Wei's biggest weakness!

"quiet!!"

Just as the group was talking, Xu Rong came to the front of the stage, followed closely by Zhang Xiu, who was holding the White Dragon Spear.

"This man is named Zhang Xiu, a newly recruited Imperial Guard by His Majesty. He once ventured deep into the desert and slew countless fierce bandits. From today onwards, he will be your spear instructor! He will be responsible for teaching you spear techniques!"

As they spoke, Xu Rong stepped aside and led Zhang Xiu to the front desk.

The group of teenagers below the stage frowned as they looked at Zhang Xiu, who was about the same age as them. The thought of having to respectfully call someone their own age "instructor" made them all feel a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, they didn't know how capable he was or whether he was qualified to be their instructor, so everyone silently watched Zhang Xiu on the stage, and the scene fell silent.

"Are they all mute??"

Seeing that the audience below remained silent, Xu Rong's face darkened, and he glared at the crowd.

"Hello, Instructor Zhang!"

Upon hearing Xu Rong's reprimand, only a few weak voices rang out from the crowd below the stage.

Xu Rong frowned at the performance of the crowd below the stage. Having trained them for so long, he knew that although they obeyed orders in everything, they were very proud. It would take real ability to win them over.

"Look at him, he's as skinny as a chick! The gun in his hand looks like it's made of paper. How can someone like that be our instructor?"

Looking at Zhang Xiu on the stage, Wen Chou couldn't help but curl his lips, while Dian Wei, standing next to Wen Chou, looked at Zhang Xiu and the White Dragon Spear in Zhang Xiu's hand and his expression changed.

"Huh? Lao Dian, what's wrong?"

Noticing Dian Wei's unusual behavior, Wen Chou couldn't help but look at him curiously. It was the first time he had ever seen Dian Wei, who only knew how to eat, behave like this.

Dian Wei shook his head and said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing! I heard Instructor Wang Yue say that the White Dragon Spear is His Majesty's favorite weapon."

"What does Lao Dian mean by this? Do you want to beat him up and take it from him?"

"No, no, no!! That was a gift from His Majesty, I wouldn't dare to take it, besides, I don't know how to use a gun!"

Dian Wei quickly shook his head. In the Imperial Guard, apart from daily combat training, he had basically never fought with anyone and did not want to have any unnecessary conflicts with these people.

"Wen Chou, what are you muttering to yourself over there?"

Xu Rong on the stage quickly noticed the two people making small moves below the stage. Without hesitation, he ignored Dian Wei and pointed out Wen Chou's name.
