Chapter 815: Extra: Three Treasures
Part 1: First Entry into the Military Camp (Part 1)
Xinnan is located in the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was originally a barren land, but because it is at the junction of Zhou and Chu, its geographical location is relatively special, so it is somewhat different from other northwestern towns.
A few years ago, the Prime Minister of Chu, Shen Weifeng, visited Zhou and signed a series of contracts, which promoted trade between Zhou and Chu. Xinnan, as the border area, also became much more prosperous.
Under the trade policy, this area developed rapidly and the people were very prosperous.
However, the situation is changing rapidly.
A year ago, Shen Weifeng resigned as Prime Minister, and the new young Prime Minister was Shen Weifeng's disciple. Although they were master and disciple, their philosophies were very different. The new Prime Minister was ambitious and a proponent of war.
Therefore, in recent years, there have been many frictions at the border between Zhou and Chu, and Xinnan City has not been very peaceful either.
Half a year ago, Gu Huaiyu, known as the 'God of War of the Great Zhou', came in person and stationed in Xinnan.
With this person's reputation, the wolfish ambitions of the Chu State were temporarily suppressed, and Xinnan also received half a year of peace.
The Xinnan garrison was stationed in the south of Xinnan City.
military camp.
After the training, the soldiers gathered together to chat and laugh.
"Have you heard? A female general is coming to our military camp!"
"What female general? The military camp is a man's territory. What are girls doing in the military camp if they are not at home embroidering?"
"Could it be that you're bored at home and think a military camp is a fun place?"
"I still can't get married, so I came to the military camp to find a man."
"I'm not interested in girls who wield swords and guns. Women should stay at home and take care of their husbands and children!"
The soldiers had ruffian looks on their faces, and they talked casually and even with some contempt about the incoming female general.
"Hey, do you know where that female general came from? If her last name was Gu, it would be different."
The soldiers in this military camp come from two sources: one is the local guards, and the other is the Gu family army, which is Gu Huaiyu's personal soldiers.
At the beginning, when the two forces merged into one, the local guards were somewhat dissatisfied.
However, strength is what matters on the battlefield, and those who refused to obey were all defeated by Gu Huaiyu.
Therefore, although these people are not Gu's army, they have an instinctive respect for Gu Huaiyu.
The Gu family is a family of military generals, so the girls in the Gu family must be extraordinary.
"I heard the name, it wasn't Gu. As for the last name, I forgot."
"She's not surnamed Gu, so we have to make her cry and call for her parents. Once she's in the military camp, you can't blame us old men for bullying a girl."
The whole barracks was filled with talk of this matter.
Of course, some people were curious about the little girl.
In the afternoon, a man and a horse stopped in front of the military camp, and a young girl jumped down from them.
The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was dressed in black with her sleeves and trouser legs tied up and her hair tied in a ponytail. She looked extremely cool and neat.
She held a sword in her hand and walked towards the soldiers guarding the camp.
Naturally, the soldiers had heard that a female general would be coming to the military camp today, and when they saw the girl in front of them, they were stunned.
The girl in front of me has bright eyes, white teeth, fair skin, delicate features, and is extremely beautiful.
He had never seen such a beautiful woman since he was a child, and he was completely stunned.
"Wei Ning, come and report to General Gu." The girl's voice was clear and pleasant.
This brought the soldier back to his senses.
"I'll report this to General Gu!"
Soon, the person who reported came back and led Wei Ning to the main tent.
Wei Ning lifted the curtain of the main tent and walked in, and saw a handsome and elegant young man sitting there, reading a military book in his hand.
"Second uncle!" Wei Ning called out.
Gu Huaiyu also put down the military book and looked at the girl in front of him.
"Here I come."
Wei Ning nodded.
Gu Huaiyu looked at the girl in front of him and said, "Have you made up your mind? Do you really want to join the army? Life in the army is not as good as you think. It's very hard."
"I'm not afraid of hardship." Wei Ning said.
Gu Huaiyu shook his head helplessly. His sister and brother-in-law were really generous to let such a girl go to the battlefield.
"There is also a group of soldiers who speak without restraint. Can you tolerate it?" Gu Huaiyu continued to ask.
"No need to endure it. I'll beat them until they obey me." Wei Ning waved his fist and said proudly.
Gu Huaiyu smiled. This girl actually had the demeanor of their Gu family.
Gu Huaiyu chatted with Wei Ning for a few words, and then asked his personal guard to take Wei Ning to visit the military camp.
Wei Ning was no stranger to military camps. When he was a child, he followed his master to stay in his second uncle's military camp.
Xinnan is located on the border, and the environment of this military camp is not as good as those near the capital. However, she has experienced a lot since her childhood and is no longer a delicate lady. I believe she will be able to adapt quickly.
Along the way, many soldiers looked at her, some were stunned, some were amused, and some were contemptuous.
After this round, all kinds of discussions were rampant.
"That girl looks too delicate, doesn't she? Is she really not here to play?"
"Could it be that this is some young lady who was brought to the military camp to play?"
"Our military camp is a place for training, not for fun!"
"Her arrival has stunned many new recruits. How can they concentrate on training?"
"If you don't have the energy to train your troops, what will happen if you're defeated in battle? What if you lose your life? This is no joke."
"We can't let this go on like this. I'm going to go talk to General Gu tomorrow!"
But these words did not reach Wei Ning's ears for the time being.
After she left the military camp, she went to an inn in Xinnan City.
Under the cover of night, on the second floor of the inn, a man in red stood lazily, leaning against the railing with his arms folded. Although he was a man, his face looked a little seductive in the moonlight.
Wei Ning lightly tapped her toes, flew up, and then landed on the second floor of the inn, in front of the man in red.
"Master, are you still awake?" Wei Ning asked with a smile.
"The moonlight is beautiful, let's enjoy it." Du Ye said lazily.
"Master, are you worried about me?" Wei Ning exposed him mercilessly.
He said that she had grown up and become a big girl, but he was still worried about her. He accompanied her from Qinghe County to the capital, and then accompanied her from the capital to Xinnan.
Du Ye pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"Master, the military camp is pretty good. I speak with my fists and no one dares to bully me. Don't worry." Wei Ning stopped joking and said seriously.
When she was a child, she asked her master to live for her, and her master did so.
But so many years have passed, she has grown up, and has her own ideas and goals. If she continues to let her master live for her, she feels a little sorry for him.
After all these years, he must have found what he wanted to do.
She hopes he can do what he wants and live for himself.
"Master, is there anything you want to do?" Wei Ning asked.
Confusion appeared between Du Ye's brows. He didn't know and had never even thought about it.
All he was thinking about today was whether the little girl would be bullied or wronged when she first entered the military camp.
I felt a little absent-minded throughout the day and couldn't sleep at night.
If the little girl didn't come back, he would probably worry all night.
"Master, I've grown up and can take care of myself. You can do what you want to do." Wei Ning said.
"Um."
Du Ye responded, his eyes lowered with a hint of loss.
He wondered if the little girl was annoyed by him.
Yes, when children grow up and have their own lives, they will make their own friends and meet people they like.
How can an elder still follow you?
Du Ye had trouble falling asleep at night, and like an old father, he packed some things for Wei Ning.
The next morning, he gave it to her and asked her to take it to the military camp.
Wei Ning looked at the bundle and imagined his master packing his things for him, feeling a little sad.
"Thank you, Master."
After joining the military camp, her master went to do what he wanted to do, and she didn't see him for a long time.
