The Xiahou brothers were also shocked by the countless onlookers outside the Imperial Guard camp.

"Second brother, what should we do?"

Looking at the Imperial Guard camp, which was now completely surrounded, Xiahou Yuan asked Xiahou Dun beside him.

"What do you mean, what should we do? Of course, we squeeze in! Otherwise, what's the point of looking at anything from the outside?"

Xiahou Dun gave Xiahou Yuan a disapproving look, then walked forward, with Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu quickly following behind.

Upon approaching, Xiahou Dun turned to look at the burly Xu Chu, grinned, and said:

"Zhongkang, just like before, go forward and clear the way! Let's go!!"

"Okay, I got it! Come on! I'll pull you along!"

Xu Chu nodded, then stepped forward and extended his hands to the Xiahou brothers.

"Zhongkang, remember to be gentle this time!!"

Looking at Xu Chu's large, fan-like hands, and recalling the time he almost broke a bone last time, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but look at Xu Chu with lingering fear.

Xu Chu smiled and nodded, "Yeah, don't worry! Nothing will happen!!"

"Okay then!"

Looking at Xu Chu's honest smile, Xiahou Yuan, though somewhat uncertain, chose to trust him one more time and placed his small hand in Xu Chu's palm.

"Let's go!!"

"Ouch!!"

Xiahou Yuan felt a sharp pain in his palm and only had time to cry out before Xu Chu pulled him into the crowd.

"Holy crap! Who the hell is this?!"

Stop pushing!

"Ugh, it's you bunch of bastards again!"

Why are you guys everywhere?

Because of the Xiahou brothers' intrusion, some chaos inevitably broke out in the places they passed through, and many people who recognized the Xiahou brothers cursed them angrily.

However, the Xiahou brothers ignored all of this and continued to follow Xu Chu, squeezing forward with all their might.

Before long, amidst the angry shouts of the crowd, Xu Chu, dragging the Xiahou brothers, finally squeezed through the crowd and arrived in front of the Imperial Guard Camp.

"Phew~, we're finally here! Miao Cai, Zhong Kang, we'll be able to enter the Imperial Guard Camp in another month!"

Xiahou Dun wiped the sweat from his forehead, then looked towards the Imperial Guard Camp with shining eyes.

"Yes, yes, my uncle brought me here so that I could join the Imperial Guard!"

Looking at everything in the camp, Xu Chu's eyes were filled with longing.

"Miaocai, why aren't you saying anything?"

Unexpectedly, Xiahou Dun didn't hear Xiahou Yuan speak, so he turned his head to look.

"My hand...my hand is numb!"

Xiahou Yuan was seen grimacing and shaking his hand, which had been gripped tightly by Xu Chu and turned slightly red.

"Tch~, look at your lack of ambition? How can someone like you even get into the Imperial Guard?"

Seeing Xiahou Yuan's expression, Xiahou Dun gave him a disapproving look, and also secretly stretched his hand, which had been gripped tightly by Xu Chu.

Xiahou Yuan, however, said nonchalantly, "Hey~, with my elder brother and uncle looking after us, what problem will we have in getting into the Imperial Guard?"

Upon hearing Xiahou Yuan's words, Xiahou Dun glared at him and rebuked him:

"Don't talk nonsense. My elder brother got into the Imperial Guard through his own abilities. How can we rely on connections? Besides, have you forgotten what the young master told us before?"

"I...I remember, young master said we cannot rely on our families!"

Hearing Xiahou Dun's reprimand, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but lower his head weakly.

"It's good that you remember!"

Xiahou Dun simply nodded upon seeing this and said nothing more.

Before long, while everyone was waiting, a troop of Imperial Guards walked towards the camp gate.

"Open the camp gates!!"

With a shout from the leader of the Imperial Guards, the gates of the Imperial Guard Camp slowly opened under the expectant gazes of the crowd outside.

Looking at the Imperial Guards before them, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and the young men around them all showed expressions of envy.

The imperial guard stepped forward and shouted loudly:

"His Majesty has granted you permission to enter the camp to observe the athletes' selection. Once inside, you are not allowed to move around freely, communicate privately with the trainees, or make loud noises! Do you all understand?"

"clear!!"

The Xiahou brothers and the people outside the camp all nodded in agreement.

"That's good, come with us into the camp!"

Soon, led by the soldiers of the Imperial Guard, the crowd that had come to watch was taken to the training ground inside the camp.

At this time, the students of the Imperial Guard had also gathered on the training ground.

Looking at the neatly lined-up Imperial Guard cadets, the onlookers couldn't help but admire them.

Soon, Wang Yue, Huang Zhong, Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu and others also arrived at the training ground.

Xu Rong stepped in front of the group of students and said loudly:

"Today's first selection event is a sprint! You need to run to the marker 100 meters away as fast as you can, understand?"

"clear!!"

All the trainees shouted in unison, their eyes fixed on the marker in front of them and the Imperial Guard soldiers next to them who were responsible for recording.

"First row, step forward!!"

With a loud shout from Xu Rong, Cao Cao and the other thirty students in the first row stepped forward and came to a horizontal line.

At this moment, the training ground was surrounded by a dense crowd of onlookers, all of whom were staring intently at the row of trainees who had stepped forward.

"Second brother, Zhongkang, isn't that our eldest brother?"

The sharp-eyed Xiahou Yuan immediately spotted Cao Cao standing in the center of the group, and then looked excitedly at Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu beside him.
