Soon, the day arrived for Ye Jingyu and his group to set off on their study tour.
In order to avoid attracting attention, they did not bring many people with them on this study tour; each person only brought one attendant and two guards.
For the sake of convenience, Ye Jingyu and her maid both disguised themselves as men.
Although there are few people openly protecting them, there are countless people secretly protecting them.
Besides their own personal guards, the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, the Gu family, the Ji family, and even the emperor all secretly sent people to protect them.
Xie Chang'an also sent many people to secretly follow them. After all, Ye Jingchen had assured both the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion and Ji Wushuang that there would be no accidents involving Yun Shu and Ye Jingyu during this study tour.
They went together to see him off when he set off.
The abyss is vast, yet for some of them, the farthest place they have ever been since birth is the Xishan Palace.
Ye Jingyu and his two companions were very excited about this study tour, and most of the kids who came to see them off also looked longing.
No one can help but yearn for a wider world.
"A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation. When we return from our studies, we will definitely leave you far behind!" Yun Shu said with great confidence.
There was no sadness at this farewell, because everyone knew that it was only a temporary separation.
Not long after, Ye Jingyu entered the Ministry of Rites for training, while Ye Jinghe directly requested to go to the guard camp outside the imperial city.
Originally, Ye Jingchen hoped that Ye Jinghe could go to the Ministry of War, and Ye Jinghe's initial plan was also to go to the Ministry of War, but for some reason, he changed his mind and insisted on going to the Guard Battalion.
The Imperial Guard is a barrier protecting the capital, with 200,000 troops, but this army rarely has the opportunity to go to the battlefield. At most, they go to a few nearby prefectures and counties to suppress bandits.
The guard camp is home to many sons of noble families. They come here not to protect their homes and country, but to earn military merits and use this place as a stepping stone for advancement.
Therefore, the guard camp was very chaotic, and it was full of all sorts of people, including all sorts of monsters and demons.
Ye Jinghe was only thirteen years old. Even though he was a prince, a prince without a maternal family to support him and who was not favored would certainly not do well in the guard camp.
Ye Jinghe insisted on going there. Ye Jingchen asked him to bring some of the Eastern Palace Guards, but he refused. He went alone and did not even reveal his identity as a prince. He entered the guard camp as an ordinary soldier.
Ye Jingchen had always known that Ye Jinghe was stubborn, but Ye Jinghe had never shown his stubborn side in front of him before. Ye Jinghe had always been very obedient, so when he suddenly became disobedient and stubborn, Ye Jingchen found that he had no way to deal with him.
Since then, Ye Jinghe has been leaving early and returning late every day.
When Ye Jingchen got up, he had already left the palace, and then hurriedly returned before the palace gates were locked.
Therefore, Ye Jingchen specially postponed the time for dinner at the East Palace by half an hour, just to wait for Ye Jinghe.
However, the little guy didn't appreciate his good intentions. Even when they ate dinner together, he rarely spoke to him and never told him about his experiences in the guard camp.
He felt that children's words were really unreliable. When they were little, they swore they would never leave him, but as they grew a little older, they only thought about running away and became visibly distant from him.
However, although Ye Jinghe did not tell him what happened in the guard camp, Ye Jingchen still knew everything.
Because Xie Chang'an had men in the guard camp.
In fact, he did have people he had arranged, but because of his special status, there were many more people secretly watching him after he entered the court, so he did not contact those people.
Xie Chang'an had connections everywhere. After Ye Jinghe joined the guard camp, Xie Chang'an arranged for people to be by his side, and there was more than one. Xie Chang'an was also very keen to tell Ye Jinghe what he did in the guard camp every day, so Ye Jingchen knew everything about Ye Jinghe.
On his first day in the guard battalion, he got into a fight with a troublemaker in his squad and beat him half to death.
Later, the troublemaker's backer arrived, and he beat his backer half to death.
Then, the powerful backer arrived, and he too was beaten half to death.
And so, after beating up the younger ones, the older ones came. On his first day at the guard camp, Ye Jinghe spent the whole day fighting, and his reputation soared.
Before Ye Jinghe returned to the East Palace, Ye Jingchen already knew about his experiences that day.
"Throw all the old and young out of the guard camp," Ye Jingchen said to Xie Chang'an the next day.
Although Ye Jinghe had the upper hand in the fight, those people provoked him first, and after hitting the younger one, the older one blindly protected him. Did they think their little Jinghe had no one to protect him?
"By doing this, aren't you going against Ye Jinghe's original intention? He hid his identity to join the guard camp because he wanted to win people over with his own abilities, didn't he?" Xie Chang'an felt very bitter, but still calmly analyzed the pros and cons with Ye Jingchen.
"But Jinghe is alone. What if they unite against him? He can't fight against so many opponents. What if he suffers a loss?"
Ye Jingchen understood the reasoning, but in his heart, Ye Jinghe was still that little baby who needed his care. Just thinking about the possibility of him being bullied made Ye Jingchen feel sad.
In the Eastern Palace, he couldn't bear to see his child suffer even the slightest grievance!
“How can he gain the respect of the troops without going through this process? In the military, everyone only respects the strong. I went through the same thing before!” Xie Chang’an subtly added his own opinion.
He had always known that Ye Jingchen was someone who responded to gentleness but not force. He used to disdain showing weakness to Ye Jingchen, but now his mindset had changed. If showing weakness temporarily could bring him benefits, he wouldn't mind showing weakness to Ye Jingchen.
before?
In Ye Jingchen's gradually fading memory, there was indeed Xie Chang'an's efforts to subdue the Xie family army. The more he felt sorry for Xie Chang'an when he read the book, the more he felt sorry for Ye Jinghe now.
After all, how could the guards compare to the disciplined Xie family army?
In Xie's army, everyone speaks with strength and doesn't engage in empty talk. However, the guards are full of despicable and shameless spoiled brats. Moreover, they form cliques and are a den of snakes and rats. They will use any despicable trick to kill those they don't like.
"If only I had known you before!" Ye Jingchen patted Xie Chang'an on the shoulder to comfort him.
But before Xie Chang'an could be moved for long, he changed the subject, "You must make sure your people protect Jinghe well. If there's any danger he can't handle, help him avoid it in advance. He's different from you; he doesn't need to work as hard as you did before, forcing himself to suffer when there's no hardship!"
Xie Chang'an: ......
He glared at Ye Jingchen, feeling both furious and incredibly jealous.
After his rebirth, he ate more sour foods than he ate salt and sugar combined!
"Don't worry, I will never let you suffer like this in my life! In my heart, you and Xiao Jinghe are the same!" Ye Jingchen said, trying to appease him when he saw that his expression was not right.
Having transmigrated into books for so many years and raised so many little brats, his skill in taming their fur has long been perfected.
