Chapter 234 Convinced
This was not a pleasant thing to say, and it made everyone blush and the faces of the new recruits were stepped into the mud.
They were all young and energetic soldiers, and they were embarrassed to be scolded by a woman. They could not sit still any longer.
The people below began to whisper to each other, and the noise was as loud as a vegetable market.
Han Jiwu watched from the side and thought that this was not a good idea. The prince protected the princess like the apple of his eye. If this matter were to be passed on to the prince by other mouths, he would be punished as well.
Just when he was about to look for Xie Tingzhou, he saw Xie Tingzhou and Chang Heng coming towards him.
"Your Highness, this..." Han Jiwu was thinking about how to start.
Chang Heng looked at him for a moment and said, "New recruits are full of trouble. Do you want to..."
Xie Tingzhou raised his hand to stop him and just watched from a distance, showing that he was not prepared to get involved in the matter.
Chen Yu squinted slightly because of the sun, "We have discussed for half a day, have you come up with a result? Stop being so fussy."
The people below said, "The princess wants to challenge us in a duel, but swords have no eyes. What if she gets hurt?"
"How do you calculate it?" Chen Yu smiled, "It's his bad luck. I don't show off my weapon skills. I will use whatever knife you use."
Chen Yu took off the Feng Yin from her waist, threw it to Xiao Chuan, and looked at everyone, "Whoever can survive my sword today, I will call you Master in the army, and you can command my five thousand soldiers. But if you can't, then shut up!"
The crowd below buzzed again, and a man jumped onto the stage, "I'll do it!"
"Good!" Chen Yu looked at him approvingly. Regardless of his ability, he had courage and insight, which was essential when joining the army.
"You can choose your weapon."
The man chose his weapon, "It's the princess' turn."
Chen Yu slid her right foot to the side, and two slender hands stretched out from the fox fur, posing as she stood up.
There was an uproar in the audience.
"Shit, does this mean I can fight him with my bare hands?"
"You don't even use weapons? That's a bit too conceited."
The man was surprised and asked, "Doesn't the princess choose weapons?"
Shen Yu didn't waste time talking to him, "Be careful!"
As soon as the voice fell, Shen Yu curled the corners of her lips, and clenched her fists and attacked the man with lightning speed.
The man moved his sword to block, but Chen Yu slapped him on the arm.
The man only felt that his arm was numb from the palm strike and the knife almost slipped out of his hand. The force was not strong, but it was used skillfully.
The man was frightened. He had just been concerned that he was fighting the princess, but now he used all his strength and chopped her on the head.
There was an uproar from the audience.
The woman in white fox fur flew up like a wild goose, stepped on the weapon rack, turned in the air, touched the blade with her toes, and flew into the air.
The foot swept towards the man's head.
The man quickly used his left arm to block, but his arm felt pain. Before he could react, the knife was removed and he was kicked in the chest.
The man took several steps back, but eventually he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Chen Yu has landed steadily.
The man fell to the ground without reacting. It was only a few moves and he didn't even see how he lost.
Chen Yu shook the knife in her hand to test the feel, then looked at the silent crowd, "Anyone else?"
The Qingyun Guards have finished their training and can rest.
They had heard the commotion over here when they were training just now, and all wanted to watch the excitement, so they all rushed over there.
Last year, a boy challenged Qingyun Guard at Yanliang Pass and mocked them in the end. Although many people had not seen it with their own eyes, they had heard about it to some extent. They never thought that the boy would become their princess later.
Many people who have never seen it thought it was exaggerated after hearing about it, so today is a good opportunity to watch the fun.
There were many people in the audience who were eager to try, and a few of them refused to believe in the evil and insisted on going up to compete.
"The princess is much more decisive than last year." Chang Heng stood beside Xie Tingzhou and said, "She is not humiliating anymore. She is quick and decisive. As expected of a princess, she is much calmer now."
Xie Tingzhou didn't respond, but watched the white bird fluttering lightly on the platform.
Amidst cheers and boos, he just watched quietly.
That was his phoenix, which no one could conquer, but she was willing to fold her wings for him and lean in his arms.
No one knew what she was hiding beneath her sharpness, except him.
Just thinking about this made Xie Tingzhou feel refreshed.
Another group of Qingyun Guards who were training in the square on the other side also ran over.
A soldier rolled up his sleeves as he walked and said, "I heard that the new recruits were fighting one-on-one, so I'm going to join in the fun. I'm going to teach them a lesson."
Another person said: "I heard that the princess is dealing with those new recruits."
"Ah?" The soldier was startled, and put his sleeves down again, "Then why don't you fight and watch the fun."
The man was Tu Si, who had fought with Shen Yu at Yanliang Pass last year and was badly beaten.
Several new recruits who refused to believe in evil were knocked down from the stage.
Tu Si looked very proud, "I have fought against the princess for a hundred moves. How dare these ugly people challenge her? They are overestimating themselves."
Someone laughed and said, "Those 100 moves of yours were a show of mercy from the princess, so don't show them off."
"I'm just showing off." Tu Si said, "If you have the guts, go and fight me for a hundred moves. However... the princess was a little impatient today."
Xie Tingzhou also discovered that Chen Yu was very impatient in her fight. If she could defeat him within ten moves, she would never use more than one move.
Frowning lightly.
After a series of rounds of fighting, Chen Yu was also slightly out of breath.
He kicked the opponent's weapon away, put the knife to the soldier's neck, and slowly approached.
The soldier was frightened by the momentum and took a step back.
Chen Yu threw the knife hard to the ground, and the steel knife was nailed to the ground, flashing cold light as it swayed.
Shen Yu glanced at everyone coldly.
"Are you convinced?"
No one said anything.
Tu Si laughed loudly, his voice as loud as a bell, "I am convinced, Princess. We Qingyun Guards are convinced."
How could those new recruits not accept the truth? Some of them were convinced, but those who were too embarrassed to admit it didn't dare to say much.
Chen Yu raised her voice, "Since you have accepted it, the farce ends here. If you are still unconvinced in the future, you can come and try, but next time, I will not show mercy."
Chen Yu walked past Xiao Chuan and said, "Come with me."
Xiao Chuan nodded and said to the new recruits, "What are you looking at? Just do as I arranged before, and run!"
He quickened his pace to catch up with Chen Yu, "Princess, I was wrong about what happened today."
Shen Yu stopped and asked, "What's your problem?"
Xiao Chuan thought for a moment and said, "It's my fault for not managing the soldiers well. If I had known that they would surrender after a fight, I would have taken over and the princess wouldn't have to suffer."
"Their dissatisfaction is directed at me." Chen Yu said: "Your actions were useless, but you did not do enough today."
Xiao Chuan: "Please give me instructions, Princess."
Chen Yu said: "When new soldiers enter the camp, they should be given some rules first. Military discipline is the most important thing. Discipline is the most fundamental guarantee for command and combat to be effective."
Xiao Chuan nodded repeatedly after receiving the instruction, and then saw Chen Yu frowning, "Is the princess feeling unwell?"
"No." Chen Yu said, "Go ahead and get busy. Thank you for your hard work."
As soon as Xiao Chuan left, Xie Tingzhou walked up to her and looked at her with his eyes lowered.
"Are you feeling down or feeling unwell?"
Chen Yu raised her eyes and glanced at him, saying unhappily, "My waist is still sore."
As soon as Xie Tingzhou raised the corners of his lips, she glared at him.
The soldiers around all dispersed to conduct training. Xie Tingzhou looked back and found that no one was paying attention to this side, so he simply picked her up sideways.
Chen Yu was startled and rebuked in a low voice: "Put me down."
Xie Tingzhou calmly carried her out of the parade ground and carried her all the way to the carriage.
"Why don't you come here on horseback?" Chen Yu asked.
The South Parade Ground is quite far from the capital, and it takes half an hour to get there by horseback. The carriage is too slow.
"I came all the way here to pick you up. Is your waist still sore?" Xie Tingzhou's hands were kneading her waist lightly.
