Zhao Chen and Wang Jian had a good chat. After dinner, they started chatting in the study room.
The next morning, Zhao Chen and Wang Fei were about to head to the military camp to report for training. Before he left, Wang Jian stopped him and said to him sincerely,""Brat Zhao, you are indeed a rare talent, but do you know why I didn't prepare to promote you?”
"I know you're worried that I'm a mediocre person who only knows how to talk on paper like Zhao Kuo, so you want to train me in the army and see my abilities.”Zhao Chen replied calmly. He did not look angry at all.
"As expected of Brat Zhao, your guess is correct. However, there is one more thing. The State of Qin is conferred a title of nobility based on your military achievements. If you don't have any real military achievements that you can take out, I'm afraid no one in the army will respect you.
Also, do you know that your surname is not simple? You look too much like someone when they were young.
Remember, you have to show off your outstanding abilities in the military camp. The military camp is a place where strength is respected. Only strength is something that people respect. Only then will you be able to stand out as quickly as possible. Otherwise, even if I want to promote you, I won't be able to.”
Wang Jian stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your nurturing, sir. I will definitely not disappoint you.
After Zhao Chen heard Wang Jian's words, he was suddenly enlightened. He was originally worried about how to stand out as soon as possible and obtain the qualifications to lead the army. He did not expect Wang Jian to give him such a big surprise. Although he did not say it explicitly, the two of them had a tacit understanding. Therefore, Zhao Chen hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
? Wang Jian laughed and helped Zhao Chen up. He didn't say anything else. They were all smart people, so there was no need to say much. Then, he turned around and left. Zhao Chen, who was smiling, Wang Fei, who was still confused, and Li Yu, who understood Wang Jian's intentions, were left behind.
Zhao Chen smiled at Li Yu and silently agreed with his guess. This made him very excited. It was a great honor to be able to get to know a talented person with a bright future. He didn't say anything else and suppressed his excitement. He led Zhao Chen and the other two out of the mansion and headed to the military camp in the mountains outside the city.
Wang Jian stood by the window of the study and looked at the place where Zhao Chen had left. He looked like His Majesty, and his surname was Zhao. Even his temperament, demeanor, and intelligence were similar. Even his martial strength could be said to be a top warrior. Eh, could he be the 15th young master who had survived an accident a few years ago? If not, he should report to His Majesty quickly and get someone to investigate. It might be him. After all, there were no similar people in the world.
Thinking of this, Wang Jian could no longer stand still. He hurriedly wrote a letter on the table about this matter. Then, he turned his head to a dark corner and called out.
" Shadow Secret Guard, where are you? Send this letter to Xianyang and give it to the king. This matter is of great importance and we must be careful. A black-robed figure appeared. After bowing and writing a letter, he disappeared.
Wang Jian instructed. Your subordinate is here, what orders do you have for me, General?" An armored general knelt on one knee and replied.
"Quickly send someone to Hanzhong to investigate Zhao Chen's information. Remember not to spread it and keep it a secret.
"Yes, General, I'll do it immediately.”The general immediately turned around and left to complete his mission. Wang Jian turned around and looked out the window. He hoped that it was true. Then, His Majesty would have a successor. A few years ago, His Majesty had flown into a rage because of this. He hoped that this guess was true.
Sigh. Wang Jian continued to look into the distance as if he could see Xianyang.
Zhao Chen and the rest followed Li Yu to the military camp. They were shocked by the scene in front of them. A huge building made of wood and stones that stretched for several miles came into view. They stood at the city gate, and compared to it, they were like a few tiny ants. The city was rectangular and nearly three miles long, about one mile wide, and nearly ten meters long. After all, there were experts in this world who could jump five to six meters with their Lightness Skills. Therefore, the city walls were generally about twenty meters long. Because of the large number of troops gathered in this camp, and the fact that a large number of experts were guarding it, the city walls were relatively low. However, even so, it was still very shocking.
On the walls were rows of ballistae and ballistae that were shining with white light. There were traps in this world, so the walls were equipped with a large number of defensive weapons that could easily kill the enemies.
"Who dares to trespass into the military camp? Everyone, be on guard and aim at the enemy!”
A patrolling general noticed Zhao Chen and his group at the city gate, so he ordered his men to be on guard. He saw rows of crossbows aimed at them, and soldiers in bronze armor facing them with solemn expressions. This caused Zhao Chen to have goosebumps all over his body. A strong sense of danger surrounded him, and he could not help but hold the halberd on his back with his right hand. At this moment, seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Li Yu quickly took out his token and shouted at the wall," I am Li Yu, the chief military officer under General Wang Jian's command. I have come to report today with my general token. Please verify it, General."”
When the general heard Li Yu's words, he asked him to put the token in a hanging basket. Li Yu had no choice but to do as he was told. He knew that the token was placed in the basket and was pulled up. After the general on the wall checked it, he let down his guard and let them in.
"I'm sorry for my rudeness. This is the token. Please, please forgive me. The general personally returned the token to Li Yu and apologized. Li Yu didn't mind. He knew that this was his duty, and so did General Wang Jian himself. This greatly influenced Zhao Chen and Wang Jian, and they both secretly praised him. As expected of the elites of the Qin army who had won every battle. General Wang's strictness in governing the army was rare in the world.
A large number of new recruits who had entered the military camp were currently training. Some were jogging, some were training in the military formation, and some were resting in the military martial arts. There were also a large number of patrolling guards in the surroundings. They were so heavily guarded that they could hear cries everywhere. Their voices shook the mountains and rivers, causing people to be shocked.
There was also a pair of cavalrymen who were training. The sound of hooves could be heard, and the feeling of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking assaulted their senses, making them feel suffocated.‘Kill, kill, kill, stab, block, block, use force, look straight ahead, don't be lazy, it's a scene of training in full swing.
Li Yu woke up the two people who were stunned and brought them to the conscription field to register and collect their clothes and weapons. Since Zhao Chen had brought his own weapons, it was against the rules. Because of Wang Jian, he allowed him to stay, but he still needed to train the spear formation with his teammates. Zhao Chen understood this and did not object. After bringing them to his tent, Li Yu gave them a few instructions and turned to leave. He still had to go back to report, so he took his leave.、
Since it was almost evening when they arrived at the military camp, they did not participate in the training immediately. Instead, they would wait until tomorrow to officially begin. They had their first meal in the military camp. The food here was quite sumptuous. After all, they were going to undergo high-intensity training. After they finished their meal, they returned to the tent to get to know their future comrades. There were a total of three people. The shorter one was called Xida, and the muscular middle-aged man was called Leader Sun. He had joined the army for almost ten years and was an old soldier. He often taught them, so everyone respected him. There was also a new recruit called Huang Jie who had just arrived. After chatting for a long time, the nervousness from when they first arrived had disappeared. Everyone was only left with hope for the future.
At night, everyone went to bed early. Zhao Chen lay in bed, feeling that the first step of the long journey was about to begin. This made his calm heart feel excited and expectant. He thought about a lot that night, and only when the moon was high in the sky did he slowly fall asleep. Zhao Chen and the others were about to start their first day in the military camp. This made them a little excited. Although Zhao Chen had inherited memories of military training and life, they were all virtual. He had never experienced it personally. This made him feel an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
