Chapter 55 Military Academy Classes Begin
When Yan Xuanyu was communicating with Feng Guangwei again, he also asked Doctor Xue who stayed in Fengxian City if there was any medicine that would make the pulse seem stable after taking it, but would be harmful to the body after taking it continuously for a period of time.
Yan Xuanyu rubbed Taiyangxue. When he went south to Fengxian, he also left Doctor Xue there and asked him to take in a few apprentices to develop the medical clinic in Fengxian City.
Now it seems that this has caused some trouble for Yan Xuanyu, as the Imperial Hospital couldn't even find out what drugged him.
What's more, he said that he was protected by a real dragon. How cautious and ridiculous!
Yan Xuanyu didn't drink the bowl of medicine recklessly. He had a system in his hand. The system could gradually restore the body of the original owner who had been drugged for a long time, and it could also restore his sense of taste and smell. It should be no problem for him to drink Chen Lian's bowl of medicine.
Chen Lian brought the medicinal food, which made Yan Xuanyu realize that time was running out.
His eyes fixed, and he took out the pile of letters and memorials from the secret compartment of Chengtian Hall and continued to read them. Below Feng Guangwei's letter was the memorial submitted by Han Shidong, saying that the facilities of the Beijing Military Academy were also ready.
Then it's time to let the Beijing playboys enroll in school.
...
The side courtyard of the Ming Mansion.
"My son, please go quickly." A woman wearing a plain dress and with only a silver hairpin holding her hair in place said anxiously.
She had a very beautiful appearance, but there was a hideous scar on the right side of her cheek, which made her look a little scary.
At this moment, the woman was holding a blue-printed bundle and was stuffing it into the hands of the young man in front of her, whispering, "I've already made arrangements... Butler Zhang will take you out of the mansion. You'll go south out of the city..."
The boy was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and had the same appearance as the woman, with delicate features and eyebrows. However, he seemed to be huddled together, and his back was not straight, which detracted from his appearance.
The young man was called Ming Chengyu. The Ming family was one of the aristocratic families in the capital. There were more than ten people in the family who served as officials in the capital. Among them, the highest-ranking official was Ming Chengyu's father, Ming Lin, who was a third-rank official in the Ministry of Rites.
Ming Chengyu was Ming Lin's second son and his only surviving illegitimate son. His mother was the daughter of the Left Censor-in-Chief. Before his mother, Madam Zhao, married Ming Lin, the family had several concubines, one of whom was Ming Chengyu's biological mother. After Madam Zhao entered the family, the children born to the concubines died young or in accidents. Ming Chengyu's biological mother survived only after disfiguring herself and being rejected by Ming Lin.
You can tell how they are living by looking at this side courtyard.
Minglin never cared about the affairs in the backyard and only took concubines into the mansion. Ming Chengyu still remembered the scene when his mother went to ask his father to protect him and was kicked aside by his father in disgust.
Ming Chengyu also remembered that her third sister died of vomiting blood after eating persimmons picked from the tree.
At that time, Ming Chengyu knew that he could not do anything and should not do anything. He watched his biological mother being punished by his stepmother to kneel under the scorching sun. He knelt down and begged his stepmother but was whipped by the steward of the mansion for disrespecting his stepmother.
When Ming Chengyu was seven years old, he was not allowed to see his biological mother casually and could only call her "Auntie". For more than ten years, his Auntie deliberately kept her distance from him to save his life.
"Mom..." Ming Chengyu opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
She is not a concubine, she is Ming Chengyu's mother.
"Chengyu, please go quickly." Wei tried hard to hold back her tears and pushed Ming Chengyu to the back.
The guards stationed at the Ming Mansion were transferred elsewhere by Butler Zhang on some pretext. Ming Chengyu climbed over the wall, and Butler Zhang's men were waiting not far away...
Although she had been trapped in the backyard, she could vaguely know what Minglin was conspiring with people from other families. Sending Ming Chengyu away now would be equivalent to giving up her son.
Chengyu is her son. Aunt Wei has been gritting her teeth and living until now for the sake of Chengyu. She knows that she will not have a good ending after her son leaves, and Zhao will not let her go, but she just wants Chengyu to be alive.
"Mom, I won't leave." Ming Chengyu said calmly, "What will you do if I leave? Secondly, the Ming and Zhao families are powerful, so it would be easy for them to find me."
"Being sent out of the house doesn't mean there's no hope for survival."
Ming Chengyu didn't expect that the first time his mother asked him to see her in so many years was to see him off. He couldn't imagine how she, who had no power and was half-imprisoned in a side courtyard, could do all this.
The mother and son were together for a short while, and Ming Chengyu hurried away to avoid others.
...
Tomorrow is the day he will be sent to the school in the capital. At night, Ming Chengyu couldn't sleep.
He closed his eyes, and what appeared before his eyes was Wei's face and everything that she and her son had endured in Ming Mansion over the years.
He could never perform better than the two sons born to his legitimate mother. People in the capital only knew that the Ming family had two brilliant and talented sons, while he was a bastard born to a lowly woman, a hopeless bastard...
Ming Chengyu fell into a daze and woke up to a knock on the door.
"Second Young Master, it's time for you to leave." A voice came from outside.
Ming Chengyu sat up from the bed in a daze. It was just dawn outside.
He knew it was his mother's man, so he quickly answered and opened the door, lowering his eyebrows and saying: "Please tell my mother that I will be right there."
The burly maid hummed through her nose and turned away.
Ming Chengyu walked to the front yard and found Minglin and Zhao Shi there. Zhao Shi smiled and said, "Chengyu, your father has high hopes for you. You should study hard in school."
"Chengyu will remember this." Ming Chengyu said with lowered eyebrows.
He accidentally saw someone standing behind Zhao, and suddenly felt cold all over.
That man... was none other than Zhang, the steward of the Ming Mansion.
Steward Zhang also had a smile on his face, and he seemed to be unaware of it. He said, "Sir, please come in."
Manager Zhang is from the Zhao family and always has been.
If he really went to see Manager Zhang yesterday, would it be Zhao who was waiting for him? He didn't dare to think too deeply.
That fucking...
"Father, Mother..." Ming Chengyu said with difficulty, "After I leave, can you let Concubine Wei move out of the side courtyard?"
…
Ming Chengyu walked out of the Ming Mansion. Ming Lin and Zhao were standing on the high steps, looking down at him as if from a high position.
It was not yet fully light, and a large area of darkness cast a cold light on the stone lions at the gate of Ming Mansion.
Ming Chengyu turned around and took a deep look at the plaque above his head, then turned and got into the carriage sent by the Ming Mansion to take him to school.
The school was built in the suburbs of Beijing, and the journey was bumpy. After about half an hour, Ming Chengyu lifted the curtain of the car and found that it was already bright outside.
...
"Capital Military Academy".
Ming Chengyu thought to himself that this name was a bit strange. Most people in Beijing called it "Beijing School".
The building was very simple, and the two doors had just been painted. Under the gaze of the people from the Ming Mansion behind him, Ming Chengyu walked towards the two people sitting at the door with a nervous mood.
This place is also very strange. There is a table and two stools at the door, and a piece of paper on the table with the words... "sign-in area" written on it?
As Ming Chengyu passed by, one of them asked, "Name?"
"...Ming Chengyu." Ming Chengyu was stunned for a moment.
"Which prefecture?"
"My father is Minglin, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites." Ming Chengyu spoke much more smoothly.
Another man handed him a note, "Take this inside."
Ming Chengyu just felt that everything was very strange. At this moment, another person came behind him. He looked about the same age as him, but tall and strong.
The two people sitting there asked each other's age, name, etc. just like they had just done to Ming Chengyu, and also gave him a note.
Ming Chengyu hesitated for a moment, "Brother An, how about we travel together?"
The man was surprised: "How do you know my last name?"
Then he looked at Ming Chengyu and confirmed that he did not know this person.
Ming Chengyu apologized, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just arrived at the academy today and I'm feeling a bit nervous."
"Haha, you're quite amusing, your literary mannerisms are quite amusing!" the young man surnamed An laughed. "Whose family are you from?"
"My father is the Minister of Rites."
An Yuliang said "Oh" and said meaningfully: "So you are the son of Master Ming. You are the second son, Ming Chengyu, right?"
"Exactly."
The two walked side by side.
An Yuliang smiled and said, "I have only met the two young masters of the Ming Mansion. Your personality is to my liking. You are much better than those two hypocritical young masters."
Ming Chengyu: "..."
Ming Chengyu was not allowed to leave the house all year round, so naturally she didn't know about this famous playboy from the An family in Beijing.
As he was talking about this, An Yuliang thought of something: "Do you still remember when your eldest brother was beaten up a few years ago? I did it!"
Ming Chengyu: "..."
This Brother An looked a little silly, but with him talking beside her, Ming Chengyu's complicated mood improved a lot.
"Brother An, aren't you afraid of being sent here?"
"What's the use of being afraid? I'm afraid I won't be able to go back." An Yuliang said casually.
Ming Chengyu found that Brother An was not very polite in his words, but he was a person of true nature.
As for beating up his elder brother?
Although Ming Chengyu couldn't say it, she felt that the fight was good...
It was also a revenge for the fact that the eldest brother once jumped into the water and said that he was the one who pushed the person, causing Ming Chengyu to be thrown into ice water by his stepmother's people in winter and frozen for half a day. Then he had a fever for several days and almost died.
The two walked all the way inside and entered this "Beijing Military Academy". They found that there were more and more people. At a rough glance, there were actually hundreds of people.
Some of them were dressed casually, some were dressed luxuriously, and there were already groups of acquaintances gathered together in twos and threes.
"The buildings here are so strange." An Yuliang said puzzledly, "What's that big circle over there?"
After he finished speaking, he looked to the other side and frowned: "Why are there so many sundries over there?"
Ming Chengyu also looked over and found that these things were arranged in a very regular pattern and did not look like random junk.
As the two were talking, there was suddenly a commotion in the crowd. They looked over and found that a few young men were clamoring to leave.
"You don't leave the house very often, do you?" An Yuliang saw Ming Chengyu's curious eyes and whispered, "Those guys are really playboys."
"The one in front, Wang Min from the Wang family." He then pointed to his head and said, "It's not good here."
...
"With so many of us, are you still worried that we can't get out?" The leading young man in red sneered, "What can he do to us?"
"Do you really want to stay here as hostages?!"
Several people around him immediately agreed, and after he spoke, quite a few people actually supported him.
Wang Mian looked at the two people from the military academy proudly. With so many of them, were they afraid that they couldn't deal with these two people?
"I am your first-stage coach after you enter the military academy. My surname is Liu." A man in strange clothes walked out from behind the crowd.
The clothes he wore looked like shorts, but they weren't. The man who said his surname was Liu was tall, with muscles bulging out from under his shorts.
Coach? The young masters present were puzzled when they heard this title. What does "coach" mean?
Wang Mian took a few steps back, obviously lacking confidence because he had no followers around him, but when he saw so many people around him, he immediately felt confident again.
"Who are you? I don't think you are a scholar. You must let Han Shidong out!" Wang Mi shouted.
"You didn't come here to learn to read and write." Coach Liu seemed to have heard a huge joke.
Now it was the young masters' turn to be stunned, and the crowd was in an uproar for a moment.
"What? Not studying?! What are you doing then?"
"Of course you listen to me!" Coach Liu said loudly, "The coach is the one who teaches you martial arts!"
As he was speaking, another burly man dressed similarly to Coach Liu came over.
"This is Coach Guo!" Coach Liu said, his hands behind his back. "Now, everyone, put down your things and gather by the grassland!"
"It's the playground." Coach Guo on the side put his hand to his lips and reminded in a low voice.
Coach Liu glared at him and said, "It's all the same!"
But not everyone listened to them. Almost no one moved. Among them were people like Wang Mian, and some who were abandoned by their families and were heartbroken.
"Everyone, get moving!" Coach Liu waved his hand, and several strong men came out.
They stood in a row, and compared to them, the young masters were definitely no match for them...
"What if we don't listen to you?" Wang Mian and others sneered.
Coach Liu didn't get angry, he just smiled and said, "Then try to fight me. As long as you win, you can do whatever you want!"
"I'll do it!" A young man walked out of the crowd.
"What's your name?" Coach Liu asked.
"You have to beat me first!" This man is really arrogant.
"What courage!" Coach Liu laughed and clapped his hands.
The result was naturally no surprise. The good-for-nothing who was supported by a large group of servants encountered a tough guy for the first time. Coach Liu had already intended to intimidate this group of young masters, so he naturally showed no mercy.
The young man didn't even have time to fight back before Coach Liu threw him to the ground, sending dust flying everywhere!
The boy struggled to remember, but it was in vain.
There was an uproar.
"Are you convinced?" Coach Liu asked.
The young man was pinned to the ground by his arm, and he spat out two words through his teeth: "I don't accept it!"
"You think you can command us?!" After saying this, the young man swallowed a mouthful of dirt.
Coach Liu lifted the young man up with both hands.
The originally arrogant young man finally panicked, and the huge panic made him burst into tears: "I give in! I give in! Killing! If you kill me, my Shao family will not let you go!!"
"Okay, don't really fall." Coach Guo said.
Coach Liu grinned, "That's the kind of thing! I can lift three more!"
One of them plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy.
Coach Liu put the boy on the ground like planting onions, and the boy's legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.
The originally noisy and undisciplined young masters were now as quiet as quails.
"You can come along too," Coach Liu said, "and see if you can beat us. If you can, we'll let you go."
A row of burly men in strange short-sleeved clothes cast a shadow.
Coach Liu alone could defeat a group of them without them being able to fight back, not to mention all the people from the military academy...
Wang Mian, who had originally urged them to come here together, was unable to do anything to them and remained silent.
They are playboys, but not fools. Faced with the scene before them... they have to bow their heads.
"Are you all willing to listen?" Coach Liu snorted and laughed. "I believe you have seen clearly now. After coming here, don't think of yourself as a young master in the capital."
At this time, the nobles still didn't know what they would face next...
"Run twenty laps first!"
