Chapter 11: Life is good, a day trip to the three major camps in Ningbei! ...
Shen Yu was raised in the palace until he was six years old. After that, he began to train in the army, living in wind, frost, rain and snow. In addition, he lost his mother when he was young, so he had never come into contact with any women.
Before that was the gentle and virtuous Empress Yuan, and after that were Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang.
Most of the women in the army have some heroic spirit. However, if these two have free time, they will occasionally put on makeup. However, he is used to disciplining them in daily life and has been through life and death together with them many times. He has already regarded them as comrades, so he has never had the same mood as he does now when facing Xiaojiu.
While Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang weren't as voluptuous as the noble ladies of Shengdu, they were both incredibly graceful. Bai Lu, after all, was the commander of the Jingguo Army's water division, so her words and actions were more assertive, making her Shen Yuming's subordinate in name only.
Shuangjiang was originally there to gather intelligence for Shen Yu in Yue Country. Even though she has now returned to Sheng, she still serves as a secret guard. Her daily attire adds to her feminine charm.
These two had both seen the ups and downs of life, but unlike the female generals and secret guards in theatrical novels, they weren't particularly obsessed with red and black, unless they were on a mission. In their free time, they favored calming, elegant colors like lotus root pink, goose yellow, and lilac purple.
Looking at Xiaojiu's appearance, she must be tired of the colorful clothes in the palace. Since she is about the same age as them, she should also like these colorful dresses and robes.
That night, the Sixth Prince of the Moon Kingdom was escorted back to the camp. He shivered in the water dungeon, with drops of water dripping from the ends of his hair on his forehead from time to time.
"Chen Yu, you bastard, you actually dared to torture me. My father will not let you go!" He Lianjin bared his teeth and roared angrily, as if this could scare Shen Yu and pull him out of the water dungeon.
"Oh? What should I be afraid of? Your country can tear me apart and can trick me, the noble eldest princess of Dasheng, to be a test subject for your blood pills. I am just returning the favor." There was not a single stain on Chen Yu Chiffon's blue dress. There was a carefree smile on the corner of her lips. She stood in the dark prison, making people feel cold just by looking at her.
He Lianjin's face was filled with madness, and he barked like a madman: "Ahhhhh, Chen Yu, you lunatic, lunatic, I should have killed you from the beginning!"
"How come you're still so—so pitifully stupid?" Shen Yu's eyes were cold and lonely, and he managed a smile with difficulty.
"Why do you think your Second Prince didn't kill me? It's pointless to kill someone who's evenly matched. The best way is to humiliate me, cripple me, destroy me physically and mentally, make me bow down before him, and let me turn my spear against my own compatriots without a clear conscience!"
"You you you——" He Lianjin was speechless due to the overwhelming amount of information.
Chen Yu reached out and touched He Lianjin's cheek. Suddenly, he gathered strength in his hand, and that strength seemed to crush his jaw. After a while, he shook his jaw in disgust and said awkwardly:
"With your level, don't embarrass your father again. Go back and train for ten or eight years before going out again."
Shen Yu turned around and walked up a few steps to the door of the water dungeon. He took the handkerchief handed to him by Bai Lu and wiped his hands.
Bai Lu narrowed her eyes slightly and came over in a sly manner:
"Hey, Xiao Ba said you kidnapped a princess. Is that true? Let me take a look."
"Listen to his nonsense." Chen Yu threw the handkerchief back into her arms and said, "What's so good about it? Let's get down to business!"
"Tsk tsk, is this still the Seventh Master who walked through thousands of flowers without getting a single leaf touched?" Bai Lu insisted, grinning and quipping, "You're going to protect him now?"
"I remember, did you hide a basket of clothes, dresses and hair accessories? Her clothes are dirty, I will find some for her to change into. You don't have to follow me, go to the water dungeon and keep an eye on it, no one can be left here!" Shen Yu gave these serious instructions and turned to leave.
Bai Lu protested fiercely behind him, but unfortunately she didn't dare to say a word, so she had to go into the dungeon in disgrace.
You let me watch over the prisoners for you, while you yourself use flowers to pay tribute to Buddha and try to please the beauty? The world is going downhill, the world is going downhill...
Arriving at Bai Lu's residence, Chen Yu felt his body sway, perhaps because the water dungeon was too damp and cold, which affected the injury around his knee.
He casually picked up a lotus root powder dress and a hairband, called Zheng Ba over, and instructed:
"Xiaojiu is angry today, so I can't show up. She just had a fierce fight and her clothes are dirty. Go get this one for Xiaojiu to change into."
Zheng Ba muttered a few words under his breath, then left reluctantly.
That night, Qi Xin stared at the overly pink dress until late at night before she reluctantly changed into it. She was speechless about her master's aesthetic taste.
Seeing that her master had become much quieter, Qi Xin thought that it was because of her extraordinary comprehension that had left him dumbfounded, so she got off her horse and walked quickly to him.
Chen Yu was already sitting on a wooden stake, so she bent down, put her face close to him, and said with a smile:
"Master, am I your most powerful disciple because I understand things instantly?"
When Qi Xin said the word "most", his voice rose several tones.
When he saw Bai Lu wearing this dress before, Chen Yu didn't think there was anything wrong. But at this moment, looking at her little face soaked with sweat, her dimples in a well-defined pattern, and her round eyes filled with stars reflecting his reflection, he felt like something was tickling him in the heart, and he felt a little itchy.
He jokingly covered up:
"The leaders of the various branches of the Yasuo Army are all self-taught. I have only taught you, so what reference do you have?"
Qi Xin was poured cold water on his face and said rudely: "Well, I shouldn't have any expectations of you."
Chen Yu seemed not to have listened to her complaints, and then he took on the airs of a master, saying word by word:
"Xiaojiu, your horsemanship skills are quite good now, but you can't keep both hands on the reins all the time. Since you only have a bow and arrow, you should learn how to shoot from a moving horse."
"Oh." Qi Xin responded absentmindedly.
Seeing her withered look, Chen Yu could only skim through his meager vocabulary of compliments, thinking hard to come up with a word of praise:
"But it seems that someone's archery skills have improved a lot recently. Before, you and Xiao Ba were outnumbered, but not only did you not abandon him, you also helped him out. Your master must thank you on behalf of Xiao Ba."
"Why should I ask you to do it for me? Let Brother Zheng Ba come and thank me in person." Qi Xin's tone was full of impatience.
Chen Yu didn't know why she was acting strangely again, so he could only say in a good-tempered manner:
"Okay, okay, no rush. Let's finish our training first, then go look for him in the Light Infantry Battalion, okay?"
Chen Yu had already ordered someone to fetch the bow from the tent, and now he handed it to her, saying gently:
"Go ahead, practice shooting at a static target first. Remember to keep your legs tight against the horse's belly."
Qi Xin nodded and mounted the horse. She rode the horse around twice and felt that the time was right. She immediately loosened the reins, drew her bow and drew her arrow. However, before she could shoot, her body fell to the right and hung upside down on the side of the horse.
Shen Yu followed her closely with his eyes, and when he realized that something was wrong, he jumped on his horse and chased after her.
When he was about to catch up with her, he jumped onto her horse, immediately lifted her up, stopped the horse with the reins, and panted to comfort her:
"You're a beginner, so this reaction is perfectly normal. I fell countless times when I was a horse rider as a child. Come, let me teach you."
Chen Yu passed one hand under her arm, gripping the lower half of the bow, and slowly placed his other hand over the back of her hand. He clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and the horse began to gallop again.
He breathed behind her ear and guided her hand to draw the bowstring.
Qi Xin only felt that the temperature behind his ears was getting higher and higher, and his sight, which was originally focused on the arrow tip, became increasingly blurred. The back of his covered hand began to sweat due to the contact with the airtight skin, and his mind began to wander.
What's wrong with me?
The blood pill is acting up again?
Didn't Blood Pill only have a flash of inspiration when he was on the verge of death or in some critical moments?
Why, the frequency has increased now?
She was uneasy and her hand trembled, leaving a bloody cut on the tip of her index finger, but she didn't feel any pain.
Chen Yu sensed that she was in a bad mood, glanced down at the bloody wound, and immediately reined in his horse and held up her fingertips:
"You're so absent-minded, you've hurt yourself again. Forget it, let's stop here for today. You can't be too eager for quick success. When you practice alone in the future, you must control the rhythm. You can't expect your master to wait for you all the time, right?"
"Who was it that said before that he would always be there as long as I needed him? Could it be that he was really kidding me?" Qi Xin was a little amused and even his tone gradually lost confidence.
Chen Yu was so shocked by the medicine that she was unconscious for the whole night. She really couldn't remember what she had said before. She guessed that it was just something she said to coax her. She didn't expect that she actually took it seriously. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue:
"A gentleman's word is as good as gold. Since I have said it, I will certainly do it. Didn't Xiaojiu just want Xiaoba to thank you in person? Let's go and take a look at the light infantry camp."
In the light infantry camp, the Jingguo Army's ground vein commander's tent was empty. Only the sound of whistles could be heard from the martial arts training ground. Shen Yu was not surprised, but rather felt a sense of relief.
Xiao Ba woke up today and didn't look for me everywhere. He went to practice so peacefully. Not bad, not bad. He is a teachable boy!
Chen Yu patted Qi Xin's shoulder and found an excuse to say:
"Oh, Xiao Ba, I don't think he'll be back for a while. Next time, let him prepare a generous gift to express his gratitude."
He glanced sideways at her reaction and said nonchalantly, "Xiaojiu, do you know where this light infantry battalion came from?"
"As the name suggests, because we travel light?" Qi Xin asked.
"Not bad." Shen Yu nodded and continued:
"Because the main vanguard of the National Salvation Army is usually our Fengmai Cavalry Battalion, they are designed to ride on the wind, like eagles and eagles, with the deterrent power of sweeping away everything in their path. In contrast, the light infantry are equipped with lightweight equipment, making them suitable for sudden advances. Do you remember Zheng Ba's double-edged sword?"
"I remember." Qi Xin said, and suddenly asked:
"But why do you want to use that Broken Feng Bow and Arrow? It's true that its structure is unique, but it's too heavy. You..."
Qi Xin actually wanted to say, "You are so frail, how can you lift it?" But she chewed on the words and swallowed them.
"Xiaojiu is still so concerned about his teacher!" Shen Yukan laughed for a moment, then immediately returned to his serious demeanor as a storyteller.
"The Wind Vessel Cavalry Battalion is the vanguard, and what they need is the momentum of a slashing attack. Life and death are unpredictable on the battlefield. If I don't let them focus their attention on me, am I putting Xiao Ba and the others in danger?"
Qi Xin was secretly amazed, feeling that his understanding of Shen Yu or the National Salvation Army was just the tip of the iceberg.
"Come here, let's go check on Xiaobai."
"Is that where Commander Bai Lu is? The Water Vessel Heavy Fleet camp?"
"Yes. Xiaobai is very good at swimming. Since he took control of the water meridians, he has been of great benefit to the entire Ningbei camp."
Qi Xin followed Shen Yu through a cave, twisting and turning, and saw Shen Yu put his five fingers into a palm-shaped bronze card slot.
After that, the stone door of the cave suddenly opened, and a huge and majestic ship came into view.
It looked like it was about 20 to 30 mu in size, half of it was decorated as pavilions and towers, and the other half was an open deck where a few cavalrymen were still training.
If Qi Xin hadn't seen it, it would have been fine, but when he saw it, his head started buzzing:
This world truly has such a rare thing, the real thing is so similar to the secret image, it is indeed even better than the real thing. So this is called a "ship", because it is a ship that carries the truth and what you see is extraordinary, hence the name. Wonderful!
However, this thing looks like an alien object and can only travel on rivers and seas, so it still needs the cooperation of the remaining two veins.
Qi Xin was just thinking about what mechanism Chen Yu had triggered, but the changing scene before him just solved his confusion...
The author has something to say:
