"Old Master Mu, what exactly is your role in the court?"

"Me? I'm just a handyman..."

"Odd jobs..."

Even if Li Jue were stupid, he would know that the old man was lying.

Who would be so fond of Cheng Yaojin as a menial laborer, and yet he speaks ill of him in various ways...?

Moreover, he was very familiar with the laws and regulations of the Tang army, and even revised the training methods for him and taught him how to use the Tang dynasty's gongs and drums.

But the old man wouldn't say, and he was too lazy to ask.

"Old Mu, was the coral tree in my house a gift from Cheng Yaojin?"

"yes!"

"Hiss... If I eliminate the person he recommended, will Cheng Yaojin chop me up with an axe?"

"ax?"

"What axe?"

"Didn't Cheng Yaojin wield an axe?"

"And he only knows three moves: head-splitting, tooth-picking, and ear-cleaning..."

Li Jing laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"Where did you hear that from? Our Tang army generals all use lances, I've never heard of anyone using an axe!"

"But your story is quite interesting. I'll use it to humiliate that old man another day, hahaha!"

Just as the two were chatting, Hu Dazhuang came running up.

"Captain, the time has come. Shall we begin the assessment?"

"start!"

At Li Jue's command, a melodious bugle call immediately rang out.

Upon hearing the bugle call, the soldiers of Sanglin Zhechong Prefecture immediately became serious and quickly adjusted their positions with small, quick steps, afraid that their poor positioning would affect the class's performance.

"The first assessment item!"

"Marching in formation!"
