During their conversation, Shang Huai and Pei Zhi ordered some dishes, which were then served.
Also, the shop owner gave us a pot of fine wine as a complimentary gift.
The waiter said, "The boss instructed that this wine is homemade and not worth much money, and told the general not to refuse it."
After saying this, the waiter bowed slightly, then turned and left.
Shang Huai picked up the wine pot and smelled it.
Pei Zhi asked curiously, "Are you smelling the wine?"
Shang Huai nodded, without telling Pei Zhi, but he asked her if there was anything wrong with the wine.
Shang Huai poured Pei Zhi a small glass of wine, "We'll just have a taste of the boss's kindness."
The wine tastes good, not as good as those famous wines, but it's still palatable.
The food at the restaurant was a bit too salty for Pei Zhi, and since she didn't have a big appetite to begin with, she didn't eat much.
Shang Huai wasn't picky; he ate whatever was available.
Shang Huai ate most of the dishes on the table, but there was still a lot left over.
The two rested at the restaurant for a while before getting up to continue their stroll.
Shang Huai had already taken leave today; he came out specifically to seal off the building.
Having eaten lunch out, it was time to explore the city properly in the afternoon.
I didn't expect there to be even more people in the afternoon.
On the street, Shang Huai protected Pei Zhi, afraid that someone might bump into her.
They were followed by guards and maids, making the place even more crowded.
Pei Zhi was somewhat reluctant to continue shopping. "Is your army base far from here?"
Shang Huai understood Pei Zhi's unspoken meaning, "Then shall I take you to see it?"
"The army has many fine horses. Shall we take you for a couple of rides?"
Pei Zhi immediately nodded, saying that riding a horse in the army was better than being crammed into the streets.
The army was stationed outside the city. The two men got into a carriage and arrived in about 15 minutes.
It's not far, but it won't disturb the people in the city on a regular basis.
Pei Zhi looked around and saw that the surrounding area was all fields, planted with a lot of grain.
Shang Huai led Pei Zhi into the army, and all the soldiers immediately stood up straight.
Although the soldiers were all curious, they dared not openly look at him.
Pei Zhi was curious about everything she saw.
This was Pei Zhi's first time joining the army, and it wasn't what she had imagined.
There were patrols around from time to time, and guards were stationed at every location.
A commotion arose from the distant arena, drawing Pei Zhi's attention.
What are they doing?
"They're probably fighting. The loser has to treat you to drinks after he/she rests."
There are rules in the military that prohibit drinking alcohol on ordinary days.
Unless it's a victory, then we can celebrate.
"Let's go take a look."
Pei Zhi grabbed Shang Huai's wrist and ran forward excitedly.
The two men's maids and servants were all stationed outside the army.
As Pei Zhi approached, she saw two shirtless men who appeared to be wrestling.
Both of them have impressive physiques, and it's a clash of strength.
One of the men fell to the ground but quickly got up.
Shang Huai explained the rules to Pei Zhi: "In the army, you lose a wrestling match if you fall to the ground on your back."
Pei Zhi responded casually. Shang Huai turned his head and noticed that Pei Zhi was looking at the stage with bright eyes.
After what happened last night, is there anything Shang Huai doesn't understand?
Shang Huai glanced down at the two people on the stage.
Shang Huai seemed to notice that they were all about the same size.
They were all in the military and had to train every day.
In the military, if someone doesn't have eight-pack abs, they'll be laughed at.
In the army, apart from the cooks, there wasn't a single person with a big belly.
The competition on stage finally revealed a winner, and just as the spectators below began to jeer.
Shang Huai coughed twice, which caught the attention of the soldiers; General Shang had actually come over.
In the army, after patrolling, if there's nothing else to do, everyone naturally wants to find some fun.
General Shang wouldn't interfere with things like wrestling matches or other competitions.
"General."
Several people greeted Shang Huai with smiles.
Shang Huai said coldly, "What kind of behavior is this? Hurry up and put your clothes on."
The group of people were stunned by the reprimand, and then they noticed that there was a girl next to General Shang.
Several soldiers, who were shirtless, hurriedly went into their tents to put on their clothes.
Shang Huai, with his hands behind his back, said, "Everyone gets a hundred push-ups. You guys must be bored."
A group of soldiers let out a wail, but dared not disobey orders.
Shang Huai turned his head and said softly to Pei Zhi, "Let's go."
Pei Zhi said, "It's quite interesting to watch them do push-ups."
Unable to bear it any longer, Shang Huai took Pei Zhi's hand and led her to his tent.
As a soldier, Shang Huai naturally had his own separate tent.
Pei Zhi looked around Shang Huai's tent. It was very simple, with a table, chairs, and a bed, but nothing else.
As soon as he entered the tent, Shang Huai began to take off his outer robe.
"I don't just like watching push-ups; I can do them too."
Pei Zhi quickly stopped her, "No."
"What I mean is, I've never seen so many well-built men doing push-ups together."
The men in the army were different from those Pei Zhi had seen in the capital.
These men exude a wildness that's really exciting to look at.
Shang Huai couldn't help but compare: "Are their figures better, or mine?"
Pei Zhi said sincerely, "The light was too dark yesterday, so I didn't see your figure very clearly."
Upon hearing Pei Zhi's words, Shang Huai didn't waste any more words and immediately reached out to begin undressing.
Pei Zhi stared at Shang Huai without blinking. Shang Huai was halfway through undressing when he suddenly stopped.
"Never mind, there's nothing to see anyway."
"If you like to see them, there should be plenty available outside."
Pei Zhi's smile froze instantly. Okay, Pei Zhi admitted that Shang Huai's figure was better.
Shang Huai is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and his proportions are better than those of the others outside.
Moreover, Shang Huai was, after all, a noble young master, and his demeanor was different.
"Trying to hook me?"
Shang Huai shook his head sincerely, "We have no relationship whatsoever. It's not appropriate for me to take off my clothes in front of you."
Pei Zhi didn't respond after hearing this.
Shang Huai is right, this is not good, it's very bad.
Pei Zhi couldn't help but start considering whether or not she should keep a male prostitute.
The money is still warm.
"Are your soldiers allowed to go out and take on some side jobs on weekdays?"
"What's the meaning?"
Pei Zhi cleared her throat. "For example, you could do some manual labor, like carrying sandbags, to earn some money to buy alcohol."
"It's not allowed on the surface, but as long as it doesn't affect the time it takes to get back to the barracks, it's fine."
As long as the military doesn't find out, who knows what these soldiers do on their leave?
But in general, it's rare.
The soldiers finally got their day off, but they still had to do hard labor.
On such a day, one would naturally go out for a drink, or go to a brothel to find a girl and have some fun.
