Actually, this was not the anomaly that Xie Yuancai discovered.
Several months ago, when Xie Yuan encountered General Dugu Xiong of the Northwest on the road, he had already sensed something.
Helian Jue performed too perfectly at that time, while Xie Yuan was busy gathering the old, weak, sick and disabled, and had no energy to think too much.
Now that they have arrived in Yuezhou, everything is developing in a positive direction according to Xie Yuan's plan, allowing Xie Yuan to carefully study all his thoughts.
And so she discovered Helian Jue's "secret"—
He did not give up on himself because of being deposed, nor was he disheartened because of the abandonment by his parents and relatives.
Even after arriving in Yuezhou, even after being betrayed and abandoned by everyone, he still had his own ambitions and aspirations!
Regardless of the prince's residence or the military training... it was all a deception to deceive everyone.
Xie Yuan was nothing more than a tool he used.
Xie Yuan wasn't too upset about being used, because in the process of being used, she also demonstrated her strength and gradually realized her own value.
In Helian Jue's heart, she, his "nominal legal wife," was becoming more and more important.
"Xie Shi A Yuan! Who exactly are you? You're clearly from a noble family, yet you're so knowledgeable about such advanced military training methods?"
In the study, Helian Jue blew out the candle and sat alone in the darkness, quietly thinking.
Helian Jue found that she was increasingly unable to understand her, the nominal princess.
As a former crown prince who received the best education, Helian Jue himself was very intelligent, and his vision and knowledge were naturally exceptional.
Therefore, after only hearing Helian Chen's account, he had a premonition that Xie Yuan's method of training troops was extremely powerful.
Line up, clean up... these are just the surface; the core is "uniformity" and "strict obedience."
Once the soldiers get used to it, they will be extremely obedient.
Such strict discipline and unwavering obedience will undoubtedly prove extremely effective on the battlefield!
"We must study these methods of training troops thoroughly!"
"...Also, send one over there too, there's sure to be a surprise in the future!"
Helian Jue muttered to himself, his cold eyes filled with burgeoning ambition.
"Huang Mao!"
Helian Jue suddenly called out in a low voice.
Whoosh!
A figure appeared silently beside Helian Jue, as if by ghost.
"Continue to keep an eye on the military camp, carefully observe how the Xie family trains their troops, and then record it in detail!"
"Yes!" Huang Mao replied, and seeing that Helian Jue had no further instructions, he suddenly disappeared again.
"Huang Ding!"
Helian Jue called out again.
Whoosh! Another figure flashed into view.
"Send this letter to the Northwest. Remember, you must go in person and make sure the letter reaches 'him'!"
Helian Jue picked up a letter from the desk and handed it directly to Huang Ding.
"Yes!" Huang Ding replied efficiently, carefully placing the letter inside his clothes.
A moment later, Huang Ding also quietly left.
In the pitch-black room, a ray of moonlight shone through the window, illuminating half of Helian Jue's face.
Like a close-up shot in a movie, Helian Jue's stunning face was half bright and half shadowed.
Light and shadow intertwined on his face.
The moon outside the window was once again obscured by clouds, and the light on Helian Jue was swallowed by shadows, plunging him into darkness.
...
In the days that followed, Helian Chen made a surprising discovery: the princess's method of training soldiers was not just about lining up and folding bedding.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
Helian Chen pointed to the tools the craftsman had brought and asked curiously.
"This is a rope ladder, used to train soldiers' climbing skills."
What about this one?
"This is a balance beam, which allows soldiers to run on."
"What is this?"
"This is a brick wall. Doesn't Commander Helian recognize a wall at all?"
Helian Chen scratched his head; of course he recognized the wall.
But who would build two walls specifically for a military training ground?
"Have the soldiers train their climbing and jumping abilities!"
Xie Yuan handed Duo Shou a color.
Duoshou had already changed into his Hu clothing. Upon receiving the order from his princess consort, he forcefully lifted his robes and began practicing according to the complete procedure.
Run, jump onto the balance beam, quickly cross the balance beam, and then come to the rope ladder, crossing it one step at a time.
Then, with a leap, he jumped onto the brick wall and nimbly jumped down.
They crawled forward, crossed the trench, and finally reached their destination, where they struck a gong with all their might!
duang!
The gong rang out loudly. Standing beside the gong, Zheng Yurong glanced at the incense sticks beside her and said, "It will take half an incense stick!"
Her hands didn't stop; she wrote it down directly in a small notebook.
"Still only half an incense stick's time," Duoshou said with a hint of regret. "No improvement at all!"
Helian Chen's eyes widened. "This...this is a body-refining technique?"
"During the Three Kingdoms period, Emperor Zhaolie (Liu Bei) trained the White Feather Guards using body-refining techniques. There were also the Tiger and Leopard Battalion and the Hundred Cavalry Division, all of which were divine soldiers capable of taking on a hundred men each."
"Your Highness, your body-refining technique must be a closely guarded secret of the Xie family of Chen County, right?"
"Years ago, I heard that those noble families all had their own secret methods of training soldiers, and their troops were even more brave and powerful than veteran soldiers who had been through many battles!"
Helian Chen was both surprised and amazed, and rattled off a whole bunch of things.
Xie Yuan was dumbfounded: ...
What kind of body-refining technique?
Isn't this exactly the special forces training program shown in later TV dramas?
