"I'm not going to Peking University! I'm going to the Imperial First Military Academy! I'm going to the Imperial First Military Academy!"
August 21st is auspicious for offering sacrifices, burials, bathing, and opening businesses; inauspicious for travel, medical treatment, and haircuts.
A message from the Southwest War Zone reached the capital: a giant thunderbolt was thrown into the sea, stirring up raging waves!
"What did you say! The fourth young master of the Chu family is dead!"
Shen Bei'an was in the orchard of Biluo Xiaozhu when the two brothers, Shen Juanqing and Shen Juanchi, came to visit him.
No sooner had he sat down than Chen Juanqing dropped a huge explosion.
This almost made Shen Beian jump up from his rattan chair.
Gu Nanyan brought over the tea and pressed Shen Bei'an down, saying, "Be careful. Even though it's a lawn, you'll still get hurt if you slip and fall." He placed the tea on the table.
Shen Bei'an gripped Gu Nan'an's hand tightly, "A'an, Qingqing just said that the fourth young master of the Chu family is dead?! Isn't she still in university? How could that be?!"
Two...two young lives lost.
Gu Nanyan grasped his hand in return. "I just heard the news too, Juanqing. Could you please tell me what happened?" He looked at Shen Juanqing, his expression unchanged.
Before Gu Nanyan could brew tea, Shen Juanchi, who was sitting next to Shen Juanqing, took the initiative to brew tea for the four of them.
"It's no secret in the capital that the Fourth Young Master Chu is a military academy student in the Southwest War Zone. Military academy students in the Empire usually have different arrangements for each holiday, and this summer, the First Military Academy in the Southwest, where the Fourth Young Master Chu is, has arranged an exercise near the northern Myanmar region."
"The school did not handle the situation well and ran into two drug lords who were trading in northern Myanmar. Although there were anti-drug police and special forces from the Southwest Military Region, there were still casualties. Two instructors died, eight instructors were injured, five students died, and seventeen students were injured at the Southwest First Military Academy."
In today's information-rich world, it's simply impossible to block information.
Therefore, this news... is now known throughout the country.
"The anti-drug police and special forces in the Southwest Theater Command..." Shen Beian couldn't imagine it.
"Explosives, overloaded explosives, the death toll is as high as eleven, twenty seriously injured, and four slightly injured." The shocking numbers made Chen Juanqing's tone change from its usual coldness to heavy sorrow.
Those are the empire's elite, the empire's soldiers!
"How...how could this be?" Shen Bei'an couldn't believe it, clutching his chest, his eyes bloodshot. "Are they in the southwest?"
“Yes, within the Empire.” Shen Juanqing could barely contain his anger. After the incident, he immediately requested to fly to the southwest to carry out a mission, but was stopped.
I came here because I couldn't find a place to vent my frustrations.
"The Empire will give them an explanation," Gu Nanyan comforted Shen Bei'an, gently stroking his back from top to bottom. "Use the filthy blood of those drug dealers to fertilize the road to the underworld of the heroes, let the flowers of hell bloom, and watch the heroes go to heaven, while they will be forever condemned to hell."
Her voice was ethereal and melodious, like a medieval Western European priest delivering a saint's pronouncement to the world.
His deep, piercing phoenix eyes met Shen Juanqing's, instantly calming him down.
Chen Juanchi handed the tea to Gu Nanyan and Chen Beian, and finally to his elder brother.
Shen Juanqing took the teacup, and Shen Juanchi slowly spoke, "The third young master of the Chu family, who is also the former fiancé of Young Master Xie, is now determined to switch from Peking University to Imperial First Military Academy."
Although he has already graduated, he has many friends in these places and knows a lot about them.
Shen Bei'an cursed those drug lords countless times in his heart, "Is Young Master Chu his sister? Is he trying to avenge his sister?"
That's not right either; the people from the Imperial Army might not be assigned to any particular location.
“Yes,” Chen Juanchi nodded, “The top thirty graduates of the Imperial First Army each year can freely choose the war zone they want to go to. Young Master Chu has no hope of going to the military academy in the Southwest War Zone, but the Imperial First Army is a different story.”
The fourth young master of the Chu family just passed away in the southwest. The Chu family will absolutely not allow the third young master of the Chu family, who is also the heir of the Chu family, to go there.
But the Imperial Army…
Without a doubt, this is the academy that everyone in the empire dreams of.
Even students from Kyoto University.
"The Chu family will not allow it." Shen Juanqing gripped the cup tightly, his expression icy.
"The main reason why Old Madam Chu doesn't allow it is that the Third Young Master Chu is now the only son of the First Master Chu and the heir of the Chu family." Gu Nanyan looked up at him and squeezed Shen Bei'an's hand.
“So, if Young Master Chu really wants to go to the southwest in the future, first of all, he needs to secure his position as the heir of the Chu family…” Shen Juanchi continued.
And needless to say, he is also the only son of Master Chu.
The empire has no requirements regarding childbirth, as long as one can afford to raise children.
The policies are also quite good.
Madam Chu is already over forty years old, so having another child is simply unrealistic for her.
“Impossible.” Shen Juanqing shook his head, took a sip of tea, which was fragrant and sweet with a lingering aftertaste. “This is not the first time that Young Master Chu has made this suggestion to Old Madam Chu. He has never been granted permission and was punished a few times. He has not mentioned it again in recent years.”
"If I remember correctly, whether it's the eldest son of the Chu family, the second son of the Chu family, or even the deceased fourth son of the Chu family, they are all better than this third son of the Chu family, right?" Shen Bei'an frowned, somewhat puzzled. "Why is Old Madam Chu unwilling to make a change?"
Even if he is the eldest son of the eldest son, isn't the eldest son of the whole family the eldest son of Chu?
Moreover, Young Master Chu's methods are clearly much better than Young Master Chu's, aren't they?
Chen Juanchi rubbed his brows, somewhat annoyed. "Could it be because Young Master Chu is engaged to the Tang family?"
"I don't know. The southwest, especially the area near northern Myanmar, has been very chaotic in the last two years. The higher-ups are planning to send someone there to manage things properly, but the candidate has not yet been selected."
She appeared casual, but her eyes were constantly fixed on Gu Nanyan.
“Just as my aunt said, the Empire will not let them off the hook,” Shen Juanqing continued. “Because of the escalation of this matter, many college entrance exam takers this year have changed their application to military academies.”
The Imperial College entrance exam results are released around June 25th, while regular summer exam takers fill out their college applications between July 5th and 8th.
On August 25th, there will be one last chance to change the application, and this time the only option is to change from a regular university to a military academy in China.
Not many people change their college application choices at this time of year, since they've already made their decisions and wouldn't change them.
This year, the tragic death of the fourth young master of the Chu family in the southwest has sparked heated discussions.
"What if, I mean, what if, the third young master of the Chu family really gets into the First Army as he wishes?" Shen Bei'an believed that Old Madam Chu was a sensible person, and even if Chu Xiao really went to the First Army, with the power of the Chu family and the ability of Old Madam Chu, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for Chu Xiao to stay in the Central Military Region.
Chen Juanchi pursed her lips softly, "Uncle, because of what Aunt said a while ago, the third young master of the Chu family is indeed the third young master of the Tang family."
