sunrise, the drumbeats of the morning training woke up the guards from their sleep.
This did not include Xia Lan and the other eleven.
At this moment, Xia Lan and the others had been running on the drill ground for an hour and had done some stretching exercises.
When they heard the drumbeats for the morning training, the eleven of them quickly stood in formation.
County Left Lieutenant Wang Li appeared on the high platform.
The drumbeats for the morning training lasted for about fifteen minutes. Other than Xia Lan and her group, no one else came to the school grounds.
Wang Li walked down the high platform and slowly walked to the front of the people in B13 barrack.
"Greetings, Zuo Wei."
The leader, Xia Lan, cupped her hands slightly at Wang Li.
Everyone behind him cupped their hands and said,"Greetings, Zuo Wei."
Wang Li nodded slightly.
"We haven't seen each other for several months in Ten Mile Village. I didn't expect to meet you here today.”
Looking at Xia Lan, Wang Li felt a little melancholic.
His words also surprised the guards behind Xia Lan.
The station chief actually knew Zuo Wei?
This!
However, Xia Lan did not say anything.
When the matter of Ten Mile Village was mentioned, the bloody heads of Uncle Liang and the other two appeared in his mind!
Although this matter could not be blamed on the person in front of him, Uncle Liang and the other two had ultimately died tragically at the hands of his soldiers.
Xia Lan still could not let it go easily.
Seeing that Xia Lan was silent, Wang Li smiled faintly and said,""Where did you learn these training methods?”
Xia Lan had already thought of a countermeasure for this.
"Lord Left Lieutenant, my father is an old soldier and has read many books.”
Xia Lan was not worried at all about making up this lie.
In any case, his foster father's life and death were unknown, and there was no news of him. He believed that he would not be exposed.
Hearing this, Wang Li nodded slightly.
At this moment, more guards began to appear at the entrance of the drill ground. Wang Li didn't say anything else and turned to leave.
After he walked away, Yuan, who was standing behind Xia Lan, could not help but ask,""Station commander, do you know Lord Zuo Wei?”
Xia Lan didn't turn around and only said lightly,""The one who killed Uncle Liang was his subordinate.”
"What?"
Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.
He was from Ten Mile Village and was familiar with Uncle Liang.
He was related to Uncle Liang by blood.
Since young, Uncle Liang had often taught him hunting techniques. Now that he heard that the subordinate of Left Lieutenant Wang Li was actually the murderer of Uncle Liang, he could not control his emotions.
"Yuan!"
Sensing Yuan's rapid breathing, Xia Lan shouted in a low voice.
This was a drill ground, a military camp. He didn't want to be impulsive and make a mistake.
At that time, it would not be worth it if he was punished or even beheaded.
After being scolded by Xia Lan, Yuan immediately calmed down. He looked at Wang Li on the high platform with a trace of hatred in his eyes and did not say anything else.
As the guards arrived at the drill ground one after another, the morning training began.
On the high platform, Wang Li looked at the sleepy guards below with a gloomy expression.
With his left hand on the hilt of his sword, he slowly walked to the edge of the platform.
"The moment the drums for the morning training sounded, apart from the 11 people in barrack B13, not a single person came to the drill ground!”
"If you guys are so lazy and wait until the battlefield and encounter the enemy attacking the camp, I'm afraid your heads will be cut off in your sleep!”
When the guards heard Wang Li's words, they didn't think much of it.
Some people even thought that Wang Li was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Wang Li was too lazy to say anything. Some lessons had to be learned with blood in order to be remembered!
He said directly,
"Continue the formation training!"
"Military judge, anyone who makes any unusual movements today will be flogged fifty times!”
After giving the order, Wang Li turned around and left the platform.
The guards below began to complain incessantly.
Fifty lashes!
If he really suffered this punishment, he would probably lie in bed for more than ten days without being able to get up.
It was even possible that he would be beaten into a cripple if he was not careful.
On Xia Lan's side, everyone in B13 broke out in cold sweat when they heard this.
Fortunately, Xia Lan had been teaching them the techniques of formation training for the past two days, and everyone had mastered the essentials.
He was not too worried about being punished for this.
……
When they were training in formation, time seemed to be very slow.
As the sun slowly rose, some people were already beginning to give in.
But they didn't dare to move.
No one dared to try the punishment of fifty lashes.
"Clang!"
Finally, when some of the guards were about to collapse, the sound of the copper chime rang.
Some of the guards collapsed to the ground after hearing the bell.
Frightened, nervous, and standing for two hours, they had exhausted their physical strength.
……
Under Wang Li's request, the intensity of the training was unprecedentedly high.
However, while the people in barrack B13 were undergoing the training, they also had to silently endure the training content that Xia Lan added to them.
Just like that, eight days had passed.
On this day, a fast horse galloped over from the official road outside the county.
County Left Commandery.
"Report!"
Wang Li was sitting in the manor reading a bamboo scroll. When he heard the report, he slowly closed the bamboo scroll and stood up.
"Enter!"
The soldier pushed open the door and took out a bamboo tube. He handed it over and said,"General, the county governor has an urgent report!"
Hearing this, Wang Li hurriedly took the bamboo tube and opened it. He took out a silk book and began to read it.
Moments later-
"Men!"
Outside the door, another soldier hurriedly ran in.
"General!"
Wang Li was silent for a moment before he said,"Gather all the guards on the drill ground!"”
"Yes!"
At this time, the morning training had just ended and many of the guards had just arrived at the kitchen to prepare for dinner.
Xia Lan also brought the people from barrack B13 to the kitchen.
"Station commander, why do you always ask us to eat so fast?”
Butcher Chou wolfed down the flatbread and burped from choking. He had no choice but to drink a mouthful of porridge.
Xia Lan glanced at him. Seeing that everyone seemed to have the same question, she said,""I want you to develop a habit."
"If you are in the army, the situation on the battlefield will change in an instant. If the enemy attacks you while you are eating and you are not full, won't you have to go to the battlefield hungry?”
Everyone nodded.
At the side, Jian Qian held two flatbread in his hands and whispered to Xia Lan,""Station commander, do you think our batch of soldiers will go to the battlefield?”
Xia Lan took a sip of porridge and pondered.
According to the trajectory of history, Qin and Zhao would soon start a war again. At that time…
Shaking her head, Xia Lan smiled faintly and said,""If you want to obtain a noble title, you will eventually have to go to the battlefield. It's fine to learn it in advance.”
"This is a lesson learned from the blood of our ancestors. I didn't hide it from you.”
When everyone heard this, they smiled and cupped their hands at Xia Lan.""Thank you, station chief!"
"Don't say anything else. Eat!" Xia Lan said with a smile.
After spending these few days together, he really liked these simple and cute people.
Although they all had shortcomings, they were not bad. He would help them if he could. At least, he would give them a chance to survive under the crushing wheels of history in the future.
"Dong! Thump! Dong!"
Xia Lan had just taken a bite of the flatbread when the drums for an emergency assembly sounded on the drill ground!
