Chapter 75 Consequences of Overconfidence
Chapter 75 The Consequences of Overconfidence
"If this were on the battlefield, the enemy would not be merciful to you. I just wanted to teach you a lesson that day and let you know the consequences of being overconfident."
Zhou Qi, who arrived at this time, happened to hear this and immediately expressed his agreement, "Your Majesty is right. As a man, how can you fall down easily?"
After saying that, he directly patted Zhou He's shoulder hard, "You are really weak in body and stupid in mind. You must learn from the Crown Prince in the future."
Somewhat unconvinced, Zhou He sidestepped away from his hand and said provocatively: "Why should I learn from him? Apart from the fact that his martial arts is better than mine, there is nothing else worth learning from him."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Qi immediately slapped him in the face, "You brat, don't be rude to the Crown Prince!"
"Although you and the Crown Prince are similar in age, the Crown Prince has made great achievements in just five years. He even made suggestions for me during the expedition. There is nothing you can compare with in terms of civility, Taoism and military strategy."
After Zhou Qi finished teaching his son, he turned around and saluted Jun Tingsheng: "My son, don't blame me. Although my son is petty, he has no bad intentions."
"I hope the prince can train him more in the future. I would like to thank you in advance."
Jun Tingsheng looked at Zhou He who looked unconvinced, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "You're welcome, Mr. Xiaoyong, I will definitely discipline Mr. Ling well."
The few of them were polite for a while, and Song Baoling left with Jun Tingsheng. When passing by the training ground, she suddenly became curious about life in the military camp.
"Can I stay and observe?"
"cannot."
Being rejected by Jun Tingsheng without hesitation, Song Baoling was not angry. She thought for a moment, stretched out her hand and grabbed the other person's sleeve, and looked at him pitifully.
"Just for a moment, I promise not to cause any trouble to you."
Jun Tingsheng met a pair of watery eyes and felt his heart suffocate. He couldn't stand her being like this, so he had no choice but to agree to let her stay and take her around in the army.
The soldiers were surprised that a sweet and lovely girl suddenly appeared next to the normally stern prince. She would attract attention wherever she went, causing the soldiers to be somewhat distracted from their training.
Seeing them staring at Song Baoling, Jun Tingsheng felt more and more uncomfortable. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he persuaded Song Baoling to leave the military camp.
"Okay, you're busy then, I'll go back first."
Having said that, Song Baoling walked to the kitchen after leaving the training ground. She had just heard some soldiers complaining that the food was unpalatable, and she was a little curious about what they eat on weekdays.
Song Baoling sat in the kitchen and watched. He saw that the chef was cooking the food too casually and adding condiments in a messy manner. He thought: No wonder it tastes bad. With this skill, only the soldiers can tolerate it.
"You can't cook so casually, and the ingredients of each dish are different. If it is too messy, the taste will deteriorate."
Song Baoling stepped forward and took the spatula from the cook's hand, and explained while cooking: "Like this dish, you have to fry the water first, then add a little water and simmer for a while..."
The cook was a little unhappy at first, but when the soldier next to him said that she was the young lady of the Song Dynasty, he immediately respectfully allowed him to be taught various cooking techniques.
Song Baoling pointed out the chef's shortcomings in cooking one by one and taught him how to correct them. Under her guidance, the dishes cooked by the chef tasted much better.
"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."
Jun Tingsheng was reading the battle report and responded lightly without looking up, so he didn't even know Song Baoling had walked to the desk.
It’s strange, why does it smell like Ling’er?
After sniffing, Jun Tingsheng looked up and saw Song Baoling looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Ling'er?! Didn't you ask someone to take you back?"
Song Baoling turned around, put the food on the table, and replied truthfully: "I didn't leave, I stayed in the kitchen until now."
As she said that, she waved to Jun Tingsheng, "Come here and eat. This is a meal made with the cooking skills I taught the chef."
Jun Tingsheng couldn't explain what he felt in his heart, he just felt a little happy. He did always feel happy with Ling'er by his side.
The two chatted while eating. Song Baoling suddenly remembered something and looked up at Jun Tingsheng: "I heard that you are getting engaged?"
Jun Tingsheng made a move with his hands and immediately denied it: "I will not get engaged."
Seeing that Song Baoling was a little stunned, he asked eagerly: "How did you know about this?"
It was the first time Song Baoling saw him in such a panic, and he said with some fear: "I just heard what my servant said, is... can't I say it?"
Jun Tingsheng saw that she seemed to be frightened, and quickly explained: "No, I don't mean to blame you, I just..."
"Anyway, I won't get engaged. Don't believe the rumors outside. What they say is not true. Although the Lord had this intention at the beginning, I did not agree..."
The more Jun Tingsheng explained, the more confused he became. He didn't want Song Baoling to misunderstand, but just like Song Baichuan said, since the Holy One has already had this idea, he will definitely mention it again in the future.
His relationship with Song Baoling is currently complicated. If that day comes, how will he explain it?
Song Baoling looked at Jun Tingsheng who was explaining in a panic, and felt that this side of him was also very interesting. Compared with the previous stern face, he looked more like a real person.
"You don't have to rush to explain. As long as you say it's not the case, I will believe it."
One sentence calmed Jun Tingsheng down, but he didn't know what his engagement meant to Song Baoling, and he didn't dare to ask.
After the meal, Jun Tingsheng personally sent Song Baoling home. Perhaps because the engagement was mentioned during the meal, the two of them were a little embarrassed along the way.
"Xu..."
The carriage suddenly stopped. Jun Tingsheng opened the curtain, took a look, and asked, "What happened?"
A soldier immediately ran forward to take a look, and when he came back, he reported: "His Majesty, someone committed suicide in the street."
"Have you been rescued?"
"The person is dead."
Jun Tingsheng noticed something was wrong, thought about it, and said to Song Baoling: "I'll go take a look. You wait for me in the car and don't run around."
Song Baoling grabbed his hand and shook her head. Just now she suddenly felt a trace of dirty smell around her, which she thought must be related to this matter.
"I'll go with you."
The two came to the place where the man had committed suicide. There was a pool of blood on the ground and a sword stained with blood.
"Ling'er, just stand there and don't come over."
After Jun Tingsheng warned him, he walked over to the corpse and looked at it. He found that the death of this man was a bit strange, and it was different from other people who had committed suicide.
Just when he wanted to check it carefully, there was suddenly a sound of powerful footsteps. This sound was very familiar to him.
"The Criminal Department is handling the case, and everyone else is waiting to leave as soon as possible!"
Qiao Xu hurried over with his people. When he saw Jun Tingsheng, his face was full of surprise.
