Wang Dazhuang had always thought Chen Bao was a man of strong principles, but now he realized that Chen Bao had no principles at all; he just looked down on him. If his backer were His Majesty, Chen Bao would definitely be wagging his tail and begging to be taught by him.
"What a snobbish dog," Wang Dazhuang clenched his fist.
The man was still sighing, "That's why I said, if only you were a delicate young lady. We're all human, but some people have such good fortune."
"Pah!" Wang Dazhuang was so angry that his veins bulged. "A good-for-nothing woman, instead of learning to serve her husband properly, she just makes a scene all day long. We men work ourselves to the bone every day, while she's just sitting there doing nothing. She's such a bastard."
"Keep your voice down, Brother Dazhuang!" The little soldier was almost scared to death. He covered Wang Dazhuang's mouth, looked left and right, and luckily there was no one around.
He then whispered a reminder: "She is His Majesty's woman. I heard she stays in His Majesty's room every day. We can't afford to offend her."
His family was poor. His eldest brother was taken away by a tiger while hunting in the mountains a few years ago. He also had an eighty-year-old mother who had gone blind from crying. The whole family relied on his military pay to survive.
Wang Dazhuang shoved him aside dismissively, "What's there to be afraid of? With a coward like you, what future can you have? I suggest you go back to your mother and suckle! You have the nerve to join the army with such a small cowardly attitude?"
The young soldier was pushed and stumbled, nearly crashing into a spear not far away. Fortunately, he managed to stop in time, only suffering a minor cut, but he was still quite frightened.
"You're hopeless." Wang Dazhuang didn't care about the mistake at all. Anyway, it's better to almost run into something than nothing, right? "Besides, brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes. A dancer who doesn't even have a title will be given to me by His Majesty after sleeping with her for a few days. Sooner or later she'll be begging for mercy under my crotch. What difference does it make whether I say a few words to her sooner or later? With your guts, you'll be following me in the future. You're such a sissy, it's really a disgrace."
Wang Dazhuang grew angrier the more he thought about it. He spat at the soldier and stormed off. The soldier lowered his head, silently wiped away the filth, and didn't utter a sound.
After leaving the training ground, Wang Dazhuang immediately gathered some like-minded brothers to go find Zhou Hu. No matter what, it was too disrespectful for a dignified general to become a martial arts instructor for a young lady. How could he establish his authority in the army in the future? They risked their lives and shed blood outside, but they couldn't even compare to Shen Jiao's coquettishness.
If this continues, morale will collapse sooner or later.
It has to be said that the persuader Wang Dazhuang found this time was indeed more eloquent than him. Zhou Hu listened and felt that there was some truth to it. He stood up and said, "Alright, alright, I know everything. I will talk to His Majesty. You guys stop standing around and get to training. You're being so lazy. Add ten more laps of weight training to your training today!"
Wang Dazhuang originally wanted to go with Zhou Hu, but upon hearing the last sentence, he had no choice but to shut up.
...
While the argument raged on one side, the atmosphere on Shen Jiao's side was relatively strange and quiet. A gentle breeze blew by, and a green leaf swayed and fell.
There were two figures under the tree.
Shen Jiao swore that she really tried her best to control her gaze and not look around, but her eyes just wouldn't listen to her, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Chen Bao had finally reached his limit. "Miss Chen, I'm wearing pants today, and I'm even wearing two pairs!"
Shen Jiao nodded hurriedly, "I know, I know, but it really has a great style."
Chen Bao: "..." What a raunchy and savage phrase! Does that thing even have different styles?
Ji Yan frowned. How dare such an ugly thing be called style?
Chen Bao glanced at Ji Yan, who was watching the commotion from a distance, and suddenly felt that being a mature man with high hormones was really troublesome. He rubbed his forehead in anguish. "Miss Chen, I have a family, so no matter how much you are infatuated with my body, it is impossible for us. You are still young, and I hope you can be more clear-headed."
He was only forced to become a martial arts instructor; if this continues, his wife will chop him up with a knife.
Shen Jiao: "???"
She looked up at the sky. The sun wasn't that big, so how could it have made him have such silly dreams?
She asked in confusion, "Has General Chen had breakfast?"
Chen Bao was puzzled. "I've already eaten."
Shen Jiao: "Then why are you still talking nonsense?" She was quite clear-headed, okay? Just looking at his face, the tyrant's looks alone could wipe out an entire team.
She wasn't stupid or blind, so how could she possibly fall for Chen Bao, who was tanned dark by the sun? Where did that leave the tyrant? She wouldn't allow it, she wouldn't accept it.
"Then why did you keep staring at me...?" Even though Chen Bao was a married man, he still felt quite embarrassed.
Shen Jiao exclaimed "Ah!" and suddenly realized, pointing with her hand, "You mean this?"
Chen Bao clamped his legs together: "..." Damn it, just say it, why did you have to point fingers at me!
"Um...sorry." Shen Jiao withdrew her hand, stating without changing her expression, "I just thought the green bow on your pants was very stylish. Never mind, let's start studying."
Green bow?
Chen Bao felt a sense of foreboding. He looked down and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Last time, he trained too hard and tore his pants. He had a wife and children at home, so he thought he could save money and patch them up so they would still be wearable. As a result, his dear wife patched them up with a green bow.
Chen Bao's face turned green instantly. He usually just puts on his pants and goes out the door after getting up. Who could have expected something like this?
Without a doubt, it must have been that brat's idea. When he gets back, I'll definitely give him a good beating.
After learning the truth, Chen Bao felt even more embarrassed in front of Shen Jiao. He recalled the nonsense he had uttered and the Emperor's ambiguous smile, and felt a chill run down his spine. He thought he must have not eaten enough breakfast, which was why he was so confused that he had the illusion that he could compete with the Emperor for the beauty.
These pants are no longer wearable. It's kind of Miss Chen to not laugh out loud; she really gave him face. Chen Bao immediately borrowed a pair of pants from Wang Fu and went back to the training ground.
To establish a good image, Chen Bao cleared his throat. "Miss Chen, I think I need to introduce myself first..."
“No need to be so formal, didn’t we already get to know each other last night?” Shen Jiao blurted out.
Chen Bao: "..."
Ji Yan: "..."
The air froze.
Shen Jiao recalled the less-than-comfortable meeting between the two parties, and after a moment of silence, said, "How about we introduce ourselves?"
"Let's not go into details." Chen Bao didn't want to recall that tragic experience at all. He steadied his thoughts and said seriously, "Miss Shen, let me make this clear from the start: martial arts cannot be learned overnight. It requires accumulation over time, perseverance, and persistence. Therefore, I hope that no matter how many setbacks you encounter in the future, you will do your best to persevere."
Chen Bao, who instantly got into character, exuded the bloodthirstiness of a warrior on the battlefield. His voice was very loud, and Shen Jiao couldn't help but take on the role of a good student, obediently nodding, "Yes, General Chen."
Chen Bao stole a glance at Ji Yan. Was his tone of voice alright? Would it scare the young lady?
Ji Yan nodded lazily, inwardly scoffing. This little girl isn't even afraid of him, so why would she be afraid of you? How ridiculous.
Even if Chen Bao spoke at twice the volume, she would still be able to snore soundly.
