Xiao Sheng just turned twenty this year, while Jiang Tian is twenty-six, only six years older than him.
He really has a thick skin to even call someone his aunt.
Jiang Tian's expression remained unchanged: "Since you will be the prince's nephew from now on, I will treat you as my own nephew."
Xiao Sheng's eyes were unreadable, but his tone was very respectful: "Thank you, Auntie."
Seeing that the two had officially met, Wei Yunting said, "You should go back to the military camp first. I still need to have a meal with your aunt."
He didn't intend to invite Xiao Sheng to stay for dinner.
Treating him like a nephew is just a way to dampen his arrogance; they're not blood relatives.
Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll take my leave."
After he left, Jiang Tian pinched Wei Yunting's waist.
Although Wei Yunting wasn't in any pain, he pretended to be wincing in pain and asked, "What's wrong now?"
"Did you paint his face?"
Xiao Sheng was exceptionally handsome, yet Wei Yunting painted him as a peasant.
"He told me that to become emperor, one must first endure hardship before enjoying the rewards. If I enter the army with that face, who can I fool?"
Jiang Tian said with a worried look on her face, "Although I haven't known him for long, he has an eccentric personality, so you have to be careful."
Wei Yunting smiled and put his arm around Jiang Tian's waist: "If you're worried, then come with me to the military camp."
If Wei Yunting wanted to train Xiao Sheng, he couldn't stay in the city all the time.
During this period, he would rush back every night, stay for a short time, and then leave again the next day.
The two were often separated, and Wei Yunting's longing for Jiang Tian grew stronger each day; he wished he could just kidnap her to his side.
But he had the desire to steal but not the courage, so he could only try to persuade them by talking until his lips were sore.
But Jiang Tian wasn't buying it.
"I'm not going."
Wei Yunting: "If you don't keep an eye on things yourself, aren't you afraid I'll develop feelings for someone else?"
"If you dare to go out and flirt with other women, we'll break up."
Wei Yunting hated himself for his loose tongue; he was the one who brought it up first, and when Jiang Tian said they should break up, he became unhappy.
He just smiled and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I've saved up all the stock for you."
………………
However, it was the right choice for Wei Yunting to be stationed in the military camp.
Once the Xiongnu learned of the death of the crown prince, they became increasingly daring in their provocations, and the two sides fought every few days.
Wei Yunting is not someone to be trifled with.
It's absurd that a petty thief would dare to come to someone's door and start a fight.
On a dark and windy night, Wei Yunting led several hundred elite soldiers in a night raid on the Xiongnu, killing one of their princes and hanging his head on the city wall for the people to watch.
This prince held a high position among the Xiongnu, and his death caused great anger within the Xiongnu royal family.
But they dared not continue fighting.
Wei Yunting is incredibly brave and fierce; he can take the head of a prince in a single night. Who would dare to lead troops to their death?
The Xiongnu had calmed down, but Wei Yunting dared not go back.
Jiang Tian sensed something was wrong and sent someone to urge Wei Yunting to perform, saying she wanted to celebrate his success.
However, the people she sent didn't even see a trace of Wei Yunting.
Wei Yunting simply made excuses, saying he was too busy with military affairs to go back for dinner, and that he would apologize to Jiang Tian later.
The servants received the news and went back to report.
But Jiang Tian wouldn't let him off the hook, and every few days she would send someone to ask Wei Yunting when he would return.
That day, after asking around and finding that the servants from the villa hadn't come, Wei Yunting breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of strong liquor.
Xiao Sheng glanced at the wound on his chest that was wrapped up, then slowly looked away and explained his method of military reform.
He also participated in the recent night raid and accidentally noticed a flaw in the formation, so he tried to modify it.
During this period, he fought in many battles and saw human blood, which gradually matured his appearance.
Wei Yunting was determined to teach him well, so he naturally kept him by his side at all times, even when he was injured.
Xiao Sheng is quick-witted, and his approach to military strategy is completely different from Wei Yunting's.
Wei Yunting was not an arrogant person. After Xiao Sheng finished speaking, his eyes showed appreciation.
"Your method is good. I'll give you a thousand elite soldiers. You can lead them to practice and see if it works. If it does well, then we'll implement it."
"yes."
Seeing that Wei Yunting was fair in rewarding and punishing and didn't like to make things difficult for others, Xiao Sheng changed his approach and stopped trying to please Wei Yunting.
He never intended to have a particularly good relationship with Wei Yunting; he just wanted to maintain a superficial appearance.
Since Wei Yunting is not one-sided and listens to what he says, Xiao Sheng naturally wouldn't lower himself to act as his nephew.
Just as he was about to take his leave, Wei Yunting's personal guard rushed in.
His face was anxious, and disregarding Xiao Sheng's presence, he immediately said, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened. The Madam is here, and she is already heading this way."
Wei Yunting was originally calm and composed, with an imposing aura, as if he was fearless and invincible.
Upon hearing that Jiang Tian had arrived, he was so frightened that he immediately stood up.
"Who went to tip them off?"
"No one tipped them off; the lady disguised herself as a servant to deliver the message!"
Without time to think, Wei Yunting put on his outer robe and prepared to find another place to hide.
However, as soon as he stepped out, he bumped into Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian asked softly, "What are you doing in such a panic?"
