1001 Chapter 1001-overthinking
Gu Hui rested at home for a day. Before dawn the next day, she followed Princess Jinghe to the camp.
The Peng family Army had two camps in kun city, One West Camp and One East Camp.
The East Camp was filled with cavalrymen and infantrymen, while the West Camp was filled with female soldiers and people from the water Battalion.
Eldest Madam Peng would lead the female soldiers, while Peng ze would lead the Navy.
Of course, other than the water Battalion, the other training grounds were all universal.
All the soldiers had the same training every morning. They would run around the city at dawn, regardless of whether it was windy or rainy. After running around the city for two hours, they would rest and eat before starting their daily training.
This morning, eldest Madam Peng paid special attention to Gu Hui. She realized that, while her youngest son was complaining non-stop, her eldest daughter was silent and arrived on time, full of energy.
With this, her impression of Gu Hui rose by another level.
It just so happened that the people from the water Battalion followed behind the female soldiers. Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe were at the back, while Pengze was at the front of the water Battalion.
Peng ze was right behind Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe.
He had been looking at the back of Gu Hui’s head for a few rounds. Suddenly, Gu Hui turned her head, giving Peng ze a shock.
Gu Hui only turned to glance at him before turning back and continuing to run without saying anything.
Peng ze was a little puzzled.
This girl’s eyes, really, he had never seen any girl’s eyes so, how should he put it, very calm, but the kind that could not be ignored.
It was a very strange feeling.
He wondered if Gu Hui had attracted his attention on purpose, but in the end, he did not even see her for the next few days.
Sometimes, he would intentionally walk past the women’s camp or look for his mother and his two aunties, but he did not see Gu Hui.
Peng ze felt that he was thinking too much. She was just a little braver. She probably followed he sanniang to watch the show that day.
Although Pengze was a little unhappy that he was being watched as a show, the punishment had already been given. If he still wanted to argue, he would be a petty man.
In the end, Peng ze didn’t think too much about it. He just told the people in the camp to keep a close eye on them and not let anyone sneak in, even if it was one of their own.
……
On the tenth day of the new year, many people, both men and women, came to the Yamen.
It had been a long time since kun city was so lively. Even though the weather was a little cold, everyone still came to watch the fun.
Gu shouxin directly asked people to build a ring at the entrance of the Yamen.
Soon, the ring was surrounded by people.
On Gu shouxin’s left stood Wang Cheng and Zhang Hu, while on his right stood Gu Xin, Gu si, and Gu en.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, he spoke,”Today, the Yamen will be selecting its bailiffs. Those above sixteen and below forty may participate. After being selected, he would officially become a bailiff of the kuncheng county government office. He would receive two taels of silver a month and three days of rest every month. The rules of the competition are that whoever can withstand twenty moves from the three children beside me and still stand in the arena will be considered selected.”
Gu Xin and the other two cupped their fists towards the commoners.
The commoners looked at the three fair and clean-looking children and felt that they could do it. They were clamoring for them to start immediately.
Gu shouxin nodded at Gu Xin.
Gu Xin took a few steps forward and ran towards the ring. When she was about to get close, she spun in the air and jumped onto the ring, ” I’m gu Xin. I’m home for three days. Please take care of me!
This move of hers was quite intimidating. However, when they thought of the rules, as long as one could stand on the stage after 20 moves, they would be selected. Many people were still confident.
