Speaking of family discipline, Xie Chang'an had indeed been disciplined once in his previous life.
After he uncovered the truth of what happened back then and vowed to avenge his family, his mother agreed to let him take revenge.
However, the Duke of Zhenguo's family has been loyal and virtuous for generations, and it is impossible for any rebellious or treacherous officials to emerge from it.
Therefore, his mother used the family discipline of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and he was hit on the back with three solid sticks as thick as fists, a total of thirty times, until his skin was torn and his flesh was bloody.
After being beaten, he stayed in bed for a whole month.
From top to bottom, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was loyal to Dayuan. It was hateful that the one on the dragon throne did not trust them and repeatedly harmed and tried to wipe them out!
In this second life, he only wants to protect the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and not become a traitor, but he will never again entrust his loyalty to anyone!
"I accept your training methods. Consider it a favor I owe you. If you ever need anything in the future, I can do you a favor," Xie Chang'an said listlessly.
Ye Jingchen stared at Xie Chang'an, then suddenly reached out and tried to pinch his cheek.
However, the moment his hand touched Xie Chang'an's face, Xie Chang'an reached out and grabbed it.
"What are you doing?" Xie Chang'an asked coldly.
"Let's see if you have a fever." Ye Jingchen reluctantly withdrew his hand.
Xie Chang'an reacted too quickly, giving him no chance to pinch his cheek.
"What?" Xie Chang'an was a little slow to catch up with Ye Jingchen's jumping thoughts.
"He doesn't have a fever, so why is he talking nonsense?" Ye Jingchen sighed.
Xie Chang'an actually owes him a favor because of his training methods?
Shouldn't he be the biggest beneficiary?
Xie Chang'an also realized that he had made a foolish mistake.
He said this simply because he didn't want to owe Ye Jingchen any favors, but he subconsciously overlooked the fact that the Xie family army was the Xie family army of Dayuan, not the Xie family army of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
It's all because the world named this army the "Xie Family Army" that four generations of the Zhenguo Duke's family risked their lives for this army.
Actually, what does Xie Jiajun have to do with them?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince actually understands military training methods? Has he led troops before?" Xie Chang'an regained his senses and couldn't help but probe.
That's a really interesting question; it's like I'm trying to trap him!
Ye Jingchen couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "I grew up in the palace, where would I train soldiers?"
“But Your Highness speaks very logically and doesn’t seem inexperienced,” Xie Chang’an said.
"I saw it in my dream," Ye Jingchen said casually.
"What dream?" Xie Chang'an pressed.
Ye Jingchen glanced at Xie Chang'an with a half-smile, "I fell into the water and lost consciousness a while ago. I was in a dream where I went to a very strange place where the army trained its soldiers like this."
"That dream is quite interesting!" Xie Chang'an said.
"Is there anything else you want to know, Young Master Xie? Feel free to ask. I'm in a good mood, and I might just be able to answer your questions," Ye Jingchen said with a smile.
He was in a really good mood today. First, he met Ye Jingyu, then took the opportunity to encourage Ye Jingshu. After leaving the palace, he happened to run into a grandfather and granddaughter storyteller praising him, and then he met Xie Chang'an, who told him about the methods of training soldiers.
If he had a task progress bar, today's progress bar would definitely have increased significantly.
"In His Highness's dream world, are there many bizarre and fantastical things, such as—the dead coming back to life?" Xie Chang'an asked the question that concerned him the most.
It is said that when a person dies, it is like a lamp going out. He was certain that he was dead, but for some reason, when he opened his eyes again, he was back to the age of six.
At first, he thought that Ye Jingchen was like him, someone who had been reborn. But after testing him for so long, he was certain that Ye Jingchen was not reborn, but rather more like a soul from another world.
That must be a magical world, full of strange and wonderful things, so much so that Ye Jingchen guessed he was a reborn person as soon as he saw him.
"I've only heard of it before, but I've never seen it."
The implication is clear: we've seen it now.
Xie Chang'an was somewhat incredulous. If he really was the first reborn person Ye Jingchen had ever met, why was he so calm?
People become ghosts after they die. Isn't Ye Jingchen afraid that he might be a vengeful spirit seeking revenge?
"What kind of person is His Highness the Crown Prince in the dream world?"
Xie Chang'an didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to investigate Ye Jingchen's background.
"A salted fish lying flat." Ye Jingchen answered without hesitation.
"What is salted fish?" Xie Chang'an asked, puzzled.
"Oh, so the translation is 'a mediocre person who accomplishes nothing,'" Ye Jingchen replied.
"Impossible!" Xie Chang'an retorted instinctively.
With Ye Jingchen's intelligence and abilities, how could he possibly be a mediocre person?!
"Is Your Highness making fun of me?" Xie Chang'an looked Ye Jingchen up and down with distrust.
"It may seem unbelievable, but it's true. In the world of my dream, even if I had eight hundred schemes, I wouldn't have a chance to use them. In fact, it would be easy to go astray. So mediocrity is the safest option," Ye Jingchen said sincerely.
Back then, he relied on his clever mind to do something incredibly stupid, almost killing the person most important to him!
There is truly no boundary between intelligence and foolishness. Otherwise, why would there be the saying "great wisdom appears as foolishness"?
Even if Xie Chang'an were to live a second life, he still wouldn't be able to understand the meaning behind Ye Jingchen's words.
Although Ye Jingchen seemed to answer each of the questions he asked today seriously, he didn't understand Ye Jingchen any better as a result. Instead, he found Ye Jingchen even more enigmatic.
Xie Chang'an had no desire to ask any further questions.
