Chapter 774: Fearless, in the camp
The Seventh Prince didn’t finish the whole training, and in the end, two Jinwuwei Guards took turns carrying him down. While the Eldest Prince followed the army to complete the run, but… …
After the army finished running around the mountain, they all acted like normal people. After taking a short break, they went to get breakfast. However, the Eldest Prince was so tired that he was like a paralyzed person. He insisted on walking to the foot of the mountain and sat down. He couldn’t move half a step after that. In the end, the Seventh Prince had to ask someone to carry the Eldest Prince back.
“Brother, are you alright? Do you want someone to send you water to wash?” The Eldest Prince was soaked in sweat and covered with dust. He was dirty and smelly.
But at the moment, he has no strength to care about these things. He doesn’t want to lift a finger now.
“I don’t want to move. Leave me alone. I’ll lie down for a while.” If the Jinwuwei guard hadn’t poured him a big bowl of salt water, the Eldest Prince wouldn’t have the strength to speak.
“Okay. Brother, if you are hungry, just tell me, and I’ll ask someone to bring you food.” Although he was carried by someone back to the camp, the Seventh Prince was also very tired. He has no strength to manage the Eldest Prince.
The Seventh Prince washed after breakfast, then climbed up to bed to rest, and soon fell asleep. It was estimated that even if there was thunder outside, he will not wake up at this time.
The Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince were surrounded by watchmen. As soon as they slept, Yuan Shao went to see Lin Chujiu and reported the situation of the two princes.
“The eldest prince is tired? That’s great. Tell the military doctor to go to the mountain to find medicine without worry. And don’t stay in the military camp these two days.” Lin Chujiu smiled as if she was not thinking of a conspiracy.
Excessive exercise and muscle strain, if not relieved in time, the Eldest Prince wouldn’t be able to walk normally in three to five days, let alone deeply fried into the Jinwuwei Army’s training.
Three to five days later, Xiao Tianyao returned.
“Yes, I will arrange it now.” There will be no wounded without war. There will be no effect if the military doctor leaves for two or three days.
Lin Chujiu added: “The Eldest Prince is injured. You should send several more people to protect him. As for the seventh prince, you can’t take him lightly, do you understand?”
The so-called “protection” was actually surveillance. Lin Chujiu was telling Yuan Shao not to relax surveillance because the eldest prince was injured. On the contrary, it should be strengthened.
The princes were all children of imperial families with exquisite hearts. Who knows whether the Eldest Prince was hurt or faking it, and was just trying to make the bitter meat or be brave?
“This general understand.” Yuan Shao responded heavily.
If it hadn’t been for Lin Chujiu’s warning, he would relax his guard and not sent more people.
“By the way, you also have to keep an eye on those officials accompanying the princes. Tell them that a military camp is an important place and it is forbidden to wander. They are only allowed to move within one meter of their residence. If they exceed the limit, they will be punished until they can’t get out of bed. By the way, tell them it’s according to wangye’s order.” Lin Chujiu recalled that some people like to play tricks of diversion, and couldn’t help reminding Yuan Shao again.
Xiao Tianyao’s deputy general was talented, but in terms of mind games and means, he was not the opponent of those officials of the imperial court, let alone the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince.
“This general understand.” Yuan Shao did not know what to say except this sentence.
Their princess considered all the problems, and they just had to do it.
“No wonder wangye is in a rush to pick up wangfei. Fortunately, wangfei is here, otherwise, we didn’t know how to deal with the trouble against the imperial court.” Yuan Shao walked out of the tent and saw the accompanying officials of the two princes not far away. They were arguing with the soldiers. He couldn’t help but sigh.
These accompanying officials quarreled with Jinwuwei Army. They felt that they don’t have freedom and were treated like prisoners, so they were quarreling with the soldiers.
The soldiers can’t argue with them, but with military orders, they won’t let them leave at will. They just stood in front of them and doesn’t move half a step at all.
Almost all of the accompanying officials were civilian officials. They have never been to the battlefield. They have only stayed as officials in the capital. They were used to quarreling and shouting among officials in the capital. But when they see the soldiers dare not speak back, they thought the soldiers were afraid of them, so their voices became louder and louder.
“You soldiers are ruffians. You even dare to stop the officials of the court. Do you want to live? Do you know the law of the eastern country? You are guilty of the crimes, and you should be punished according to your sin.”
“Now, get out of my way. For wangye’s sake, I won’t argue with you.”
“A group of brainless fools, do you not understand people’s words or what? Get out of way!”
“How dare you stop me? What are you? A group of fools who can only fight and kill. Even my guard dog is far superior than you. Believe it or not, I will punish you when you return to the capital.”
When Yuan Shao came over, he just heard a civilian official scolding his soldiers as inferior to dogs, and immediately turned blue with anger: “Shut up!”
“You dogs…” An official scolded halfway and saw Yuan Shao’s dark face. He was so frightened that he could not speak.
“General Yuan!” When the Jinwuwei soldiers heard the voice, they turned their heads and saluted with cupped fists.
Several of them were obviously angry and aggrieved, but they didn’t complain, just bowed their heads.
They were soldiers, not women. They can’t do such things.
“No need for the ceremony!” Yuan Shao walked up to the accompanying officials and said coldly, “Do you want to leave?”
“No, no, we don’t want to leave. We just want to walk around. It’s hard to stay in the tent all day.” Yuan Shao was the deputy general of Prince Xiao and a third-grade general. They all have high official positions, so they dare to scold the soldiers but dare not speak to Yuan Shao loudly.
“Walk around?” Yuan Shao shouted. His dark face looked even more frightening. “Do you know where this is? This is a military camp! Military Camp is an important places. Do you think you just walk around?”
Yuan Shao’s voice became louder and louder and finally, he roared directly. Several civil servants were frightened by him and hurriedly explained, “We just want to walk around. General Yuan can let people follow us, so we won’t walk everywhere.”
They do have tasks, but today they just want to walk around and get familiar with the environment. Unexpectedly, they were stopped as if they were thieves after just two steps. They were upset, so they quarreled with the soldiers.
“Wangye ordered that it is strictly forbidden for idlers to wander in the military important area. If outsiders enter the camp, they can only move within one meter of the tent, and we have the right to fight back beyond one meter.” Although Yuan Shao has no intention, the execution order was extremely high. Lin Chujiu said that he would do one, he would do one. And if she said to do two, he would do two, without any discontent.
“What? We can’t walk around at will? Why?” The accompanying officials heard this and shouted, “Do you know that what you are doing is house arrest? It is illegal to house arrest the court officials!”
“Then don’t stay here. The post station is only an hour away from the military camp. I can send someone to take you away.” Yuan Shao didn’t pay attention to their threats at all and said to the Jinwuwei soldier beside him after speaking: ” Have someone draw a line. If they cross the line, you call me.”
“Yes.” The Jinwuwei soldier shouted in unison, straightened their backs, and felt a bit proud.
Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and left, but was stopped by the accompanying officials: “General Yuan, wait a minute, we are the official of the imperial court. No law in the imperial court requires us not to move after entering the military camp. You can’t do this.”
“I can’t do it anywhere else, but I can do it in the Jinwuwei Camp!” Yuan Shao paused and looked at him, then left without looking back.
Their prince has made it clear that they will not compromise or back down again. So why should they be afraid of the imperial officials?
