Chapter 124 If I don't use weapons, my victory will not be fair
"Deputy General Zhou, who is this person you are bringing?" A young man in red armor walked out of the tent. When he saw Zhou Qi, he nodded and called out as usual.
Then he turned his gaze to Chu Xi next to him. He felt that he looked unfamiliar and asked curiously, "Are you new to the army?"
Coming to the military camp, he couldn't think of any other possibilities except joining the army.
Of course, since he could be personally led around the military camp by the deputy general Zhou Qi, this man’s identity should not be underestimated.
It was Chu Xi’s first time entering a military camp. Even though she had been to Yunzhou before and had commanded the soldiers to help with disaster relief, it was not a real military camp after all, so there was still a certain distance between them.
Zhou Qi was one of the three deputy generals. He had followed Jiang Zhenyao's father and had considerable prestige in the army.
He was nearly forty years old, dressed in armor, a tough man, walking straight in front to lead the way. As an old subordinate of Jiang Zhenyao's father, he had naturally heard about the arrival of Chu Qibai, the eldest son of the marquis's mansion.
"This is the new centurion, appointed by His Majesty himself, Chu Jiang." Zhou Qi did not mention Chu Xi's identity as a prince. If he specifically mentioned this in the army, it would only bring him trouble and make everyone dissatisfied.
"This is your fellow centurion, his name is Bian Hangqing. From now on, you will rest in the same tent." After Zhou Qi introduced Chu Xi, he introduced the young general who came out of the tent.
This man looked to be only three or four years older than Chu Xi. The fact that he could become a centurion at such an early age was enough to prove that this Bian Hangqing did have some real skills.
The first thing Bian Hangqing noticed was Chu Xi's extremely elegant and good-looking face. In addition, Chu Xi was wearing a brocade suit that didn't look cheap, and his every move and gesture were all like that of a child from an aristocratic family.
This would naturally make Bian Hangqing...have some bad associations. He said "oh" with a slightly subtle look in his eyes, nodded, and then ignored Chu Xi and said to Zhou Qi, "Deputy General Zhou, I still have to lead the brothers in training, so I'll leave first."
Chu Xi was not surprised at the indifference of this "roommate". Since ancient times, people in the workplace have inevitably looked at parachuted personnel with strange eyes.
Bian Hangqing obviously has a preconceived notion about Chu Xi now, and it is difficult for him to eliminate this prejudice before he reveals his true abilities.
Zhou Qi obviously understood Bian Hangqing's personality. He did not blame him. He just glanced at Chu Xi and then nodded to Bian Hangqing, indicating that he could leave on his own.
After Bian Hangqing walked away, Zhou Qi took Chu Xi into the tent and casually explained, "Don't mind it, my lord. The brothers in the army are like this. After a long time, they will understand you and will naturally not be like this again."
Chu Xi smiled nonchalantly, "Vice General Zhou doesn't need to explain to me. I don't care how they see me. Besides, I have the same official position as Bian Hangqing now, so he doesn't need to be cautious with me."
The military camp only cares about who has the harder fist, and Chu Xi will let them see it.
Zhou Qi looked at Chu Xi, unsure whether Chu Xi's words were sincere or just a perfunctory one...
When Chu Xi entered the military camp, she came empty-handed and did not prepare any toiletries, so she had to go to the quartermaster's office to claim them. Although... most of the things here were crudely made, they were usable at least.
Zhou Qi briefly told Chu Xi about the morning drill time in the military camp, as well as breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the time and items for afternoon drills, and the evening curfew and lights-out time.
The military camp only has one day of rest in a month, and the rest of the time is spent in training.
Chu Xi digested all the information and only asked Zhou Qi one question, "Where is the training ground?"
Zhou Qi frowned when he heard this, "You want to go now? Don't you need to rest?"
Chu Xi curled her lips slightly, "Since I'm here, of course I have to see the most lively training ground in the military camp. Rest... no rush."
Seeing Chu Xi's confident victory and not afraid of going to the training ground, Zhou Qi thought about it and seemed to have taken Chu Xi's words to heart, "Okay, I'll take you there."
Chu Xi, having achieved his goal, followed Zhou Qi out of the tent without saying a word and headed straight for the training ground.
After breakfast, everyone in the military camp had to gather at the drill ground for an hour and a half of morning training. The items included two-person sparring, archery, running, and spear training.
After an hour and a half, we took a break for a cup of tea and then had lunch.
-
The training ground was bustling with activity.
There was a large and wide training ground, with a lot of people standing densely. Chu Xi naturally couldn't count how many there were.
There is a square arena in the middle, which seems to be specially used for soldiers to compete with each other. As long as you have a little interest and ideas, you can take the initiative to go up and find someone to fight with.
Just look, when Chu Xi and Zhou Qi arrived, there were already a few people there, fighting each other.
However, it was not an ordinary one-on-one, but four against one.
The man who was surrounded and beaten by four people was Bian Hangqing, whom Chu Xi had met before. He had taken off his armor and was now wearing only a white inner garment with his sleeves rolled up high.
Bian Hangqing had his hands and feet held by four people respectively. Their tactic was clearly to drag Bian Hangqing so that even if he had immense strength, it would be difficult for him to shake them off.
Zhou Qi and Chu Xi stood at the edge together. He asked casually, "Do you think Hang Qing can win?"
Chu Xi looked at the situation on the ring carefully and said, "It's possible to win, although it will take some time. However, Bian Hangqing practices external martial arts, and his arm and leg strength have amazing explosive power. It's not something that the four of them can handle."
Zhou Qi was surprised by this sentence and couldn't help but smile, "As expected of a general's son, the prince has studied these things thoroughly."
Chu Xi smiled and said nothing more in response.
The situation on the stage was just as Chu Xi had expected. The strategy of the four people was actually quite good. However, since they were not alone, they could not achieve complete coordination and tacit understanding.
Relying on his excellent arm and leg strength, Bian Hangqing took some time to shake them off, then defeated them one by one and kicked them off the stage one by one.
It took Bian Hangqing about half a cup of tea to win the fight. After winning, all the soldiers under the ring cheered loudly to Bian Hangqing on the ring, "General Bian is awesome!"
Bian Hangqing won, so he was naturally in high spirits. He laughed out loud and asked, "Anyone else wants to go on stage?"
After asking three times, Zhou Qi looked at Chu Xi beside him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Chu Xi leap up and easily passed several people in front of him and jumped onto the stage.
A young man in light blue clothes came into everyone's sight and appeared on the stage, with neither a sword nor a spear in his hand.
"You?" Bian Hangqing looked doubtful when he saw the new centurion jumping up like that. "Are you sure you want to fight me?"
Chu Xi just smiled lightly, "Find a weapon that suits you."
Bian Hangqing raised his eyebrows, "Why?"
Chu Xi said again, "You have already wasted so much energy. If I don't use weapons, my victory will be unfair!"
