He really came to like Xue Sanfu and Xue Wufu.
Although Xue Sanfu had never practiced martial arts since he was a child, nor had he received any special training, and he was already 10 years old, his body type was basically set in shape. He had a good foundation. He was tall, brave and strong. No one dared to look down on him when they were near. If he went to the military camp, he would definitely become a great soldier.
On the other hand, although Xue Wufu had thin arms and legs, was noisy every day, and was especially innocent, he was still young and easily excited. He didn’t know fatigue and had a strong flexibility.
He had planned to bring Xue Sanfu for his father, but he wanted to bring Xue Wufu for himself.
He had trained several groups of secret guards for his nephew, and he was just waiting for his nephew to be found so they could be deployed.
There was a group of people between the ages of six and 15 who had just started training. He wanted to put Xue Wufu into this group of hidden guards for training. If he really had the potential, he would let Xue Wufu be a hidden guard. If he didn’t, it would be good to let Xue Wufu carry the flag of the military camp for morale.
The most important thing for the flag bearer was to run fast, react fast, and always be energetic. He could tell that Xue Wufu would be a very good candidate.
Those who carried large flags in the barracks guided the soldiers to advance or retreat, or gave other instructions. If the battle lasted for a long time, they would not have much strength left. They would not even be able to run, and their spirits would naturally be low. If other soldiers saw this, it would naturally affect their emotions, which would affect the outcome of the battle. They had to react quickly and keep their spirits high. If they were told to advance, they would be able to carry the large flag to charge immediately. If they were told to retreat, they would be able to carry the flag back immediately. They had to be flexible and carry the morale of the team.
Otherwise, when there were hundreds of thousands of people in a war, not everyone could hear the commander’s shouts.
Moreover, when a real battle broke out, it would be extremely noisy. Other than using the beating of the drums to guide whether to advance or retreat, they would naturally also use the flags.
Moreover, during a war, one might not always have drums by their side. Therefore, the flag bearer was very important.
The soldiers looked at the flag and carried out the commander’s order with it.
When the Commander-in-Chief gives the order, the flag bearer beside him will immediately wave the flag in his hand and send the signal. Then, when the flag bearers in the distance see it, they will follow suit and send the flag signal. No matter which flag the soldiers can catch a glimpse of, they would immediately receive the Commander-in-Chiefi s order.
Thinking of this, Shao Shuting thought, ‘So what if he’s young? He can learn quickly.’
Thus, the night before Shao Shuting returned to the military camp, Shao Shuting stood at the entrance of Xue Dagui’s courtyard and looked at Xue Wufu, who was riding his horse again. He walked over.
Shiye followed behind him.
Xue Wufu was getting better at riding horses. No matter how fast the horse ran, he was still stable. This was all thanks to his grit and determination. Every day, after his family finished making ice, he would quickly come to ride a horse before dark. After some time, he naturally became very good at it.
Since he was already so good at riding, he naturally didn’t need Erfu and Sanfu to watch by his side.
Seeing Shao Shuting and Shiye come over, Xue Wufu, who was riding his horse excitedly at the speed of the wind, immediately stopped his horse and came over to Shao Shuting and Shiye. He even got off his horse in high spirits. “Hi!
Why are you here? Is there something you need?”
He was shouting at the top of his lungs and was filled with energy.
Shao Shuting was very satisfied with this greeting..
