"Oh? Was the imperial court's transfer order going to be issued so soon?”Chu Ming was slightly surprised by Sun Hui's words.
According to past practice, the reserve generals selected from the Martial Selection Meet would need to go through several months of observation and training before they could officially take up their posts. Although this time, due to special circumstances, they had skipped the observation stage, they should at least go through a period of learning or training. After all, fighting on the battlefield was completely different from fighting between ordinary martial artists. Fighting relied on tactics and strategies, not purely on individual strength. Of course, if one's strength was strong enough to decide the outcome of a battle, that would be a different story. However, Chu Ming had never heard of such an expert before. At the very least, there was no such expert in the entire Great Qin Empire.
Seeing Chu Ming's surprised expression, Sun Hui seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. He smiled and said,""We have no choice. Recently, there have been many strange movements in the borders, and a large-scale war could break out at any time. Under such circumstances, the Imperial Court naturally doesn't have time for us to train. Moreover, it's better to fight in battle than to talk a hundred times on paper. Perhaps the Imperial Court wants us to slowly grow in actual combat.”
"Yes, that's true!" Chu Ming nodded in agreement. The battlefield was the best place to train a person. No matter how many battles they fought, they would naturally grow up.
"Do you know when the imperial court will issue the transfer order?”Chu Ming asked.
I don't know the exact time, but it should be within two to three days. Oh right…" Sun Hui changed the topic."There's one more thing I have to tell Brother Feng. I've received news that the participants who have obtained positions in the Martial Selection Meet will be transferred to different barracks in batches, and the two of us happen to be assigned to the same place.”
"Oh? Is that so?"
Chu Ming looked at Sun Hui with a thoughtful look. Regardless of whether it was a transfer order from the Imperial Court or a transfer of personnel in the army, these involved certain military secrets. Ordinary people would not be able to know the information, but this Sun Hui actually understood it so clearly. It seemed that this Sun Hui's identity was probably not ordinary.
Sun Hui, on the other hand, didn't notice Chu Ming's strange behavior. He joked,""Hehe, Brother Feng is now a rank six commandant. After officially entering the military camp, you will definitely have a commander position. Perhaps I will also be your subordinate. At that time, I'm afraid I will need Brother Feng's help.”
"Hehe, let's take care of each other!" Chu Ming smiled faintly. Naturally, he knew that Sun Hui was joking. He even knew about the personnel transfer in the military. The other party obviously had people in the military. There was no need for him to take care of them.
"Esteemed guests, the dishes you ordered are here!”
At this moment, the servant who had received the two of them came in with a tray. On it were a few plates of delicate-looking dishes and two jade flasks.
After throwing out a silver ingot to send the cheerful waiter away, Sun Hui reached out to pick up the wine pot and filled the wine cups in front of the two people. Immediately, he raised his wine cup and said,"Come, Brother Feng, let's toast to the two of us in advance!”
"Fuck!"
Chu Ming didn't decline. He picked up his glass and the two of them downed it at the same time.
"Hehe, Brother Feng, how does this White Revealing Brew taste?”Sun Hui asked with a smile after finishing a cup.
"Not bad!" Chu Ming nodded. This was the truth. Although he usually did not like to drink, he had to admit that this wine did taste good. The wine was very viscous. When it was held in the mouth, the wine sublimated and the mind became clear. When it was swallowed, the wine instantly spread and there was no discomfort in his limbs and bones.
"Hehe, since Brother Feng thinks it's not bad, let's drink a few more cups today!”Sun Hui refilled Chu Ming's table.
Then, the two of them continued to chat while drinking and eating. Of course, most of the time, it was Sun Hui who spoke, and Chu Ming would occasionally say a few words. After the banquet, the two of them got along quite well, and Chu Ming also obtained some information that he didn't know before. It could be said that he had gained a lot.
"Today, I drank to my heart's content. Next time, I must drink with Brother Feng again!”After paying the bill, Sun Hui walked out of the room with Chu Ming.
"Alright, I'll treat you next time!"
"Hehe, alright, then it's settled!”
Ring ring ring…
Not long after the two of them walked out of the private room, they suddenly heard the crisp sound of a ring at the end of the corridor. There was also a series of small footsteps getting closer and closer, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.
Sun Hui didn't care about this. In places like the Bright Moon Hotel, there were often women who came and went to perform. They played the zither and performed here to help the wine. However, Chu Ming frowned. He felt that something was wrong because the surroundings were too quiet.
Although the Bright Moon Hotel was an elegant place, there were many guests coming and going, so there would always be some noise. However, now, the entire Bright Moon Hotel was silent, and only the sound of the woman's footsteps could be heard. It was as if she was the only one here.
Da!
The crisp sound of footsteps seemed to be in response to Chu Ming's thoughts. A woman in a red palace dress walked over from the stairs at the end of the corridor. She had a beautiful face and fair skin, like a beauty who walked out of a painting. Her jet-black hair stood tall and was pinned up with a flying phoenix hairpin. The rest of her black hair flowed down like a waterfall, making her look like a goddess. However, this woman's willow-like eyebrows were slightly raised, revealing a sharp aura.
The woman took a small step forward, her posture elegant and calm. Behind her, two expressionless guards with sabers followed closely.
Sun Hui was originally chatting with Chu Ming, but when he saw the strange look in Chu Ming's eyes, he couldn't help but turn his head to look. However, when he saw the beauty's face, Sun Hui felt as if he had been cursed. His entire body froze on the spot, and his expression revealed a trace of shock.
Chu Ming was surprised to see Sun Hui like this. He was curious as to who this woman was to make Sun Hui so frightened. However, in the next second, Sun Hui's next move immediately gave him the answer.
"Greetings, Ninth Princess!"
With a loud shout, Sun Hui suddenly knelt down on one knee.
"So it's a princess. No wonder Sun Hui is so terrified!”Seeing this, Chu Ming felt relieved. However, before he could react, the ninth princess suddenly whipped out a long black whip. It swept toward Chu Ming with a fierce aura.
"Hmm?"
Chu Ming's eyes widened. He didn't expect the princess to suddenly attack for no reason. However, how could Feng be an ordinary person? With a flick of his wrist, he threw a punch. With a single move, the wind from his fist whistled and carried a wild aura.
Bang!
Chu Ming's fist landed on the whip phantom body, and it hit the weakest part of the whip. The fists and whips collided, creating a violent sound as if two strong men had collided.
"Scared ~"
Seeing this situation, Sun Hui was shocked and quickly whispered,""Brother Feng, this is the ninth princess of the Qin Emperor. You can't provoke her. Hurry up and kneel down with me!”
At the same time, the ninth princess retracted her whip and stared at Chu Ming with a condescending gaze. She said coldly,""Where did you come from? You actually didn't kneel when you saw this princess. Could it be that you've eaten the guts of a leopard?”
"Brother Feng, now isn't the time to fight.”Even though Sun Hui felt a lot of pressure in front of the ninth princess, he suppressed the fear in his heart and reminded Chu Ming again.
However, Chu Ming ignored Sun Hui's warning. He just stared at the ninth princess with a flash of anger in his eyes and said coldly,""You want me to kneel? What a joke! According to the laws of Great Qin, all serving warriors had to kneel before the Qin Emperor. What right did a mere princess have to make him kneel?”
Hearing Chu Ming's words, the ninth princess's face turned ashen. She had always been proud and arrogant. With her illustrious background and all the cultivation techniques and spells that the Imperial Family had, in the past, all the young talents in the Imperial Capital would be respectful and fearful when they saw her. Even some princes of the noble families would have to lower their heads and greet her when they saw her. However, this guy who came out of nowhere actually dared to openly contradict her. He was really bold!
"How dare you!"
Two loud shouts rang out. The two armored guards beside the ninth princess looked at their master's face and immediately shouted when they saw the power of their master's face. A terrifying aura burst out of their bodies and pressed down on Chu Ming. At the same time, they drew their sabers and were about to cut Chu Ming in half.
"Stop!"
The ninth princess raised her hand and stopped the two guards. She stared at Chu Ming coldly and laughed."Good, not bad! You are the first one who dares to speak like this in front of this princess!”
Then, her smile disappeared and the Ninth Princess's expression turned frosty. She shouted,""Come on, slap your mouth. A little dog slave dares to be impudent in front of this princess. Today, I'll let you know what respect is.”
"Yes, Your Highness!" Two guards with high martial arts skills stepped forward and were about to slap him.
"You dare!"
Chu Ming shouted coldly, and a murderous aura exploded from his body. It swept towards the two guards like a tidal wave. In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to freeze. The two guards stopped in their tracks when they were hit by this killing intent, and their eyes revealed a trace of fear.
As a matter of fact, these two weren't weak to be the princess's guards. However, Chu Ming's shout not only contained the killing intent of the Seven Kills Combat Technique, but it also contained the ultimate skill, Shout. The combination of the two naturally wasn't as simple as one equals two.
"What are you guys standing there for? Hurry up and do it!"
Seeing the two guards stop, the ninth princess immediately scolded them loudly. Chu Ming's shout was only aimed at the two guards, so she didn't know what was going on.
