On the third day of the patrol in Chenxi, he observed the soldiers' rock climbing competition.
The skill of rock climbing was used to train soldiers' flexibility and physical strength, and also as preparation for future sieges.
This is a training guideline that Shenxi wrote for Zhang Feng.
Chenxi has incorporated many of the modern training methods used in military training into his training program.
The training includes various physical fitness exercises such as cross-country running, sprinting, climbing, pull-ups, and push-ups, as well as various tactical exercises such as low crawling, high crawling, side crawling, rolling while stationary, and rolling while moving.
Because there was no suitable place for swimming training, Chenxi ordered his men to dig several large ponds and several deep wells in the forest, fill the ponds with water, and let the soldiers conduct swimming training.
Her soldiers cannot be landlubbers, especially the elite; they must be multi-skilled.
The next few days were all arranged perfectly, with one or two competitions held each day.
Under rigorous training, these soldiers are no longer the same as before; they are all disciplined and move swiftly.
Apart from the fact that the group operations were somewhat lacking, everything else satisfied Shenxi.
Shen Qing always achieved excellent grades, and when she looked at Chen Xi, she longed to be praised.
Shen Xi suppressed a laugh. Shen Qing hadn't been able to find a chance to speak to her alone these past few days. After all, there were rules in the military, and it wasn't possible for a junior officer to meet with his superiors privately without permission.
Even the leader's own sister is not allowed.
Unless the leader can summon him.
In the past few days, Shenxi has been seriously discussing with his subordinates how to optimize military training and how to select military personnel.
He was unable to find the time to summon Shen Qing.
Shen Qing's outstanding performance finally earned her a private audience with Shen Xi.
After Shen Qing entered, Shen Xi, who was accompanied only by a maid, sent the maid away.
As soon as Shen Qing saw the maid leave, leaving only her and her elder sister, she immediately changed from her serious and composed demeanor to a childlike smile.
She rushed to Chenxi's side, took her older sister's hand, and nestled her head in Chenxi's arms, saying in a soft voice, "Big sister, I missed Qing'er so much."
At this point, she was quite willing to call herself Qing'er.
Shen Xi half-embraced Shen Qing, her resolute face softening with tenderness: "Qing'er, your elder sister misses you too!"
Upon arriving in this era, this younger sister was the most considerate person to her from the very beginning; she was the person she wanted to protect from the start.
"Eldest sister, once Qing'er has completed her studies, she must become your great general and help you conquer this world."
Shenxi gently stroked Qing'er's not-so-soft hair and nodded: "I want to conquer the world so that you can live in peace. Qing'er, whether you become a great general or not, your elder sister will fight to protect you, Yue'er, and Dahai."
Shen Qing raised her bright eyes and looked at Chen Xi: "Big sister, I'm definitely going to be a great general."
"Good. At such a young age, you have excelled in competitions. You should be able to establish yourself in the military."
Shen Qing broke free from Chen Xi's embrace, his face full of pride: "That's only natural. Many soldiers are my defeated opponents. They are often beaten down by me during our usual sparring sessions."
Shenxi reached out and rubbed Shenyue's still bruised face: "You haven't forgotten how badly Qi Xiuwu beat you up, have you?"
Shen Yue snorted twice, her face still stinging. Qi Xiuwu never held back when beating her: "Big sister, you can't expose my weakness. Besides, how many people can defeat Qi Xiuwu? His martial arts are arguably the best."
She paused slightly, then immediately continued, "Of course, he's the best right now. Who knows what will happen in the future? I'm sure I can surpass him!"
Shen Xi found it amusing that a little girl with a baby face would clench her fist and vow to surpass Qi Xiuwu, who had been carefully nurtured for many years. It was a bit of an exaggeration.
But she couldn't dampen her confidence, so she smiled and said, "Okay, my Qing'er is amazing!"
Shen Qingqing's face, which was a mixture of black and white, broke into a smile: "Big sister is the best. The other soldiers all laughed at me, saying that I was arrogant and that I was even going to surpass Qi Xiuwu. That was wishful thinking."
"But I have this goal. I want to become the greatest general under my elder sister's command in the future. How can I not defeat Qi Xiuwu!"
Shenxi encouraged her, "Qing'er, you must persevere! Your elder sister is going back tomorrow, and she'll need you to take good care of things here for her!"
“Okay, I will definitely keep a close eye on things for my elder sister and assist Master, Qi Xiuwu, and Zhang Feng. I’m going to become Master’s deputy because Master promised me that if I get all the excellent grades this time, he will make me his deputy.”
"Alright, has Qing'er learned military strategy?"
"I've learned it all. I know everything Master knows, so Sister doesn't need to worry!"
Shenxi was a little reluctant to part with Shen Qing. If there were no special circumstances, he would probably not come to inspect again for at least a few months after returning this time.
As a commander, she cannot frequently inspect the military camp, as if she does not trust her subordinates.
Shen Qing must abide by military discipline and is not allowed to leave this place at will.
"Big sister, may I sleep here tonight?"
Shenxi agreed without any hesitation. She had nothing to do tonight, and Qing'er could stay with her, so she naturally had no objections.
"Tell me everything about your time in the military. Tell me everything."
After all, the messenger who delivered the message to her wouldn't mention Shen Qing separately.
She only learned a rough outline of Shen Qing's situation from Zhao Rong's letters.
She knew that Shen Qing trained hard, and that anyone who wanted to succeed had to put in a certain amount of effort.
No one succeeds easily.
Shen Qing was overjoyed to hear that her elder sister wanted her to stay.
So much so that even after the maid had made the bed, she and her elder sister were still very excited when they lay down on it.
"My older sister's bed is so soft. Our beds are all rock hard. They call it training us to endure hardship, but isn't that just pointless? The hardship isn't about sleeping."
Chenxi smiled gently: "Qing'er, this was my idea!"
Shen Qing felt a little embarrassed: "Big sister, I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about you."
"It's okay to talk about it, since you're my sister!" Chen Xi laughed. "You're just full and have nothing better to do. It's good to roll around on the hard bed a few more times to help digest your food."
Shen Qing felt even more embarrassed and buried her head in Shen Xi's arms, saying in a muffled voice, "Big sister's idea is really good. Qing'er is already used to sleeping here. Besides, during field training, anywhere can be a place to sleep."
"Oh?" Chenxi feigned surprise: "Qing'er has really suffered so much. Tell me, where have you been sleeping?"
Shen Qing remained nestled in Shen Xi's arms, her head bowed in a show of affection: "I've probably suffered a lot. I've slept in trees, on rocks, in the undergrowth, in caves, and even on the water!"
