When Gu Wei and Xie Ling arrived at the Imperial Master's Mansion, it was already dawn.
The once prosperous Jiaozhou City is now silent, except for the loud sound of the waves in the distance, which hits people's eardrums.
The two men rode through the bustling and noisy downtown area in the past, but there were few pedestrians.
Gu Wei dismounted his horse, left the person in front of him to the care of Guan Yun and Guan He, and immediately rode non-stop to the prefect's residence.
The prefect finally had some free time and is still sleeping now.
However, Yang Zhubo woke up early and hurriedly took Gu Wei to the training ground to lead the troops.
The parade ground in the morning was already a noisy and lively scene.
The soldiers were all wearing shorts, sweating profusely while training under the scorching sun, their shouts overwhelming.
But at a glance, there are still some lazy people. Overall, the army is quite lazy and the discipline is average.
Since they were not his soldiers, Gu Wei could not say anything. He just used Qinggong to quickly run to the highest point and rang the gong, shouting loudly: "Stop practicing! Everyone put on iron armor, hold your weapons, and follow me!"
Xiao Wu ran over with sweat all over his forehead, his biceps gleaming. He scratched his head and asked, "Master Zhou, are we going with you now?"
Gu Wei nodded solemnly.
"Quickly organize the troops!"
In an instant, his eyes were as sharp as a wolf's.
Xiao Wu was shocked. How could this civil official Zhou suddenly become so intimidating? His eyes were more intimidating than those of a military officer like him. He did not dare to delay and immediately turned around to organize his men.
But besides Xiao Wu, there were many other generals in the training ground. Some of them thought that Gu Wei was so handsome and was a mere figurehead, and they did not respect him.
A square-faced general crossed his arms and glanced at Gu Wei, "Yang Zhubo, who is this man, and why should we listen to him?"
Some people around him agreed with him.
"Yeah, why should we listen to him?"
"Looks like a woman..."
Yang Zhubo straightened his face, put his hands behind his back, and said sternly: "This is the governor's man. If the governor says we should listen to him, we should listen to him! Don't cause trouble for me!"
The square-faced general snorted, "I see, it's just another relative of the governor, but we have so many brothers, we can't follow a person who knows nothing and make trouble!"
Gu Wei knew that if he couldn't subdue these soldiers today, they would not work for him seriously.
Therefore, his face turned cold, he took a few big strides, walked over with a brisk pace, climbed over the hurdle in an elegant manner, and came to the side of the square-faced general on the parade ground.
The square-faced general looked puzzled, "What? Are you going to hit me? Haha, look at your skinny body, I, Old Sun, can lift you up with just one finger. You, the sons of aristocratic families, should just play around in the officialdom. This military camp is not the place for you, go back quickly... uh."
The square-faced general suddenly stopped talking, his eyes widened, and his jaw almost dropped in shock.
Because Gu Wei easily lifted the stone pillar with just one hand, which was difficult for him to lift with both hands!
But he still insisted, "You are a young master from an aristocratic family, you are quite strong..."
Gu Wei exerted force with his big palm, lifted it up and down many times without blushing or breathing hard, and then put it down easily.
He came to the weapons area nearby, casually drew out a long sword, and performed a set of graceful military sword techniques that were dazzling to watch!
The tall general on the side still refused to speak, "It's just an embroidered pillow, it looks good but is useless."
The next second, the long knife cut through the air and landed on his neck!
It was as fast as lightning and there was no time to dodge!
The knife flashed fiercely, and the general's long hair fell along the blade in an instant.
You could hear a pin drop in the venue.
The general swallowed hard, his legs trembling slightly, "Sir..."
Gu Wei Lengjun's peach blossom eyes were gloomy and narrow, and they turned upward in a cold arc. He glanced around and said sternly.
"Hasn't anyone taught you that military orders are as heavy as a mountain? Who was the instructor on your first day in the army? If Beijiang is full of stubborn and unreasonable generals like you, how can we have a country and a family?"
In an instant, a cold feeling suddenly rose up in the spines of all the soldiers, striking their hearts. They felt ashamed and at the same time, their blood was burning. Looking at Gu Wei's eyes without a trace of emotion, they wanted to kneel down in front of him!
"Sir, it was my grandson who made the mistake! I am willing to accept the punishment!"
The square-faced general half-knelt and saluted.
There was a large crowd of people kneeling all around.
He was truly convinced, and even looked at Gu Wei with a hint of admiration.
Yang Zhubo was shocked.
What is the origin of this Lord Zhou?
I’m afraid even a veteran who has been on the battlefield for ten years doesn’t have such bloodiness and skill!
But he didn't say much.
Jiaozhou is remote and the soldiers have always been lazy. They are so happy that Lord Zhou Shijing is helping them to reorganize the troops.
Gu Wei quickly put away his sword and threw it back. The sword landed accurately on the weapons rack. In an instant, all the weapons on the rack were shaken, and the red tassels swayed, making a clear clanging sound.
There was another burst of gasps on the training ground.
Does this guy have eyes on the back of his head? It's so scary.
Those generals who had just looked down on Gu Wei wished they could find a hole to crawl into.
Gu Wei's eyes were cold, without any emotion, and he shouted: "Everyone, follow me! We will win this battle against the Tu family!"
When they heard that their opponent was the Tu family, the soldiers, who had been full of fighting spirit, felt their enthusiasm cool down.
Tu family, what concept?
This is a local emperor who has been entrenched in Jiaozhou for hundreds of years. Even the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court could do nothing about him. What chance do a group of Jiaozhou local soldiers have of winning?
