Chapter 44: The King's Ambition (2)

12 o'clock)

The children of the Zhao family who eagerly rushed from Youzhou to join the army in Yingzhou were detained in small dark rooms for three days. During this period, except for three meals delivered, everything was spent in darkness. The only light came from the wooden house.

The window on the side wall is not big and can be covered tightly with two palms. It is opened high above the head and one has to stand on tiptoes to see out.

Cui He had been in a daze since he was tied up in the restaurant until he was thrown into the dark room by the soldiers. He didn't realize it until his butt fell to the ground and he fell backwards. The whole process today was completely beyond his imagination.

In addition, I rushed to Yingzhou in high spirits, dreaming of taking control of the money and food, and making a fortune. However, I was caught by the Yingzhou army for no reason, and was sentenced to ten sticks with a cane in Changshi Mansion. At that time

Cui He was so frightened that he could not speak.

Fortunately, Zhao Heng's insistence spared the brothers from the punishment of the cane, and he was later taken to the military court and sentenced to three days of confinement. When the black wooden house was closed and he was left alone, he moved his hands and feet, and was detained by the police.

The time-bound bloodline regained consciousness slightly.

Cui He used the light from the small window to look at his surroundings. The haystacks scattered on the ground, the bare wooden walls on all sides, and the stuffy air. He couldn't help feeling sad and wanted to cry on the spot.

In a fit of anger, Cui He held his head and howled twice, then sat blankly on the haystack. Cui He was in a daze for a long time before he got up and looked at the small window.

Tiptoeing closer, he saw through the small window a school field in the distance. Many soldiers were marching in formation on the school field, sometimes moving forward, sometimes turning, and from time to time the soldiers roared in unison. Observe again

For a moment, Cui He guessed that he was in a military camp. He squinted his eyes and looked left and right. He saw wooden houses that were about the same size as the place where he was. He knew that his brothers were probably in these wooden houses.

Cui He couldn't stand anymore because of the soreness in his ankle. He went back to the haystack and sat down. Listening to the shouts of soldiers in the distance, he thought of the fine clothes and fine food he had in Youzhou and the flying dance.

After taking off the clothes, the joy of those cockfighting lackeys and the romance of the brothel disappeared like smoke. There was only a small, dark space and messy hay in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel sad again.

He howled twice, but still no tears came out, but the sadness in his heart was expressed a lot. Cui He remembered that he went to Zhang's house to urge Li Chengzhong to attend the training at the General's Mansion, and he secretly hated him, feeling that this person was extremely hateful.

, he was so respectful at the time, but so arrogant now, he was really doing one thing in front of his face but behind his back. Cui He was furious in his heart, thinking secretly that he would rush back to Youzhou immediately after leaving, and file a complaint with the general, and he would definitely have this person face to face.

You cannot kneel down and beg for mercy!

Thinking of where he was angry, he punched the wall, but he didn't want to use too much force. He felt a burning pain in his finger joints. Cui He let out an "ouch" in pain, and finally couldn't help but shed tears at this moment. He

Thinking of my mother who took great care of me and my aunt who cared so much about me, I felt extremely aggrieved.

There was nothing in the house, and Cui He felt that his days were like a year. Apart from his own random thoughts, he had nothing to do to kill time, so he had to stand on tiptoe and look out of the small window to watch the soldiers drill. Strictly speaking, his planning ability was the best among the Zhao family's children.

He was top-notch. In addition to his talent, he also benefited from his interest in gambling games. Cui He looked at the soldiers training in the distance and couldn't help but start counting the number of people in each column and team. He counted them in a moment.

It is clear that there are ten people in each row, making a total of one hundred and ten rows.

After counting the number of people, Cui He began to count the marching pace of the soldiers. There were no rules at all. Some queues stopped after walking for more than ten steps, and some queues stopped after walking for dozens of steps. He found an interesting thing.

Phenomenon, the order of the left and right feet of these soldiers is very regular. The left foot comes out first, then the right foot. The left and right feet of the soldiers in each row are very consistent. Whenever a soldier steps out in the wrong order, the queue will

Stop immediately. Soldiers who make mistakes in their steps will be called out of the queue by the officer to be punished, or bullied with their hands on the ground, or run alone in a circle around the school field...,

Cui He began to worry about those soldiers:

"Idiot, you made a mistake! Left foot goes first! Look, if you don't listen, you should be punished."

"Wrong again! So stupid!"

"Slow down and walk faster. Oh, what a pig!"

"You're obviously turning left, but you're turning right, so you don't distinguish between left and right? You're so stupid!"

"Haha, it's time to run laps this time, right? It's a lot of words, at least three laps!"

"Hey... I ran five laps..."

Cui He's voice rang alone in the cabin. He was passing the time in this way. Later, he felt that it was also very interesting.

At night, Cui He lay on the haystack, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky through the small window, and gradually fell asleep with random thoughts. When dawn came, he couldn't wait to lie down on the small window and continue to watch the soldiers.

practice.

On the third day, he felt bored again and sat on the haystack in a daze. This day was the most difficult. He thought uneasily in his heart, wondering if people could really keep their words and get him out of here.

He let him out of the small wooden house. For a while, he thought about how to return to Youzhou as soon as possible after leaving this ghost place. He planned to have a good meal and drink after returning to Youzhou, and find a brothel to vent the evil fire in his heart. Well, still

He wanted to go to the general and file a serious complaint, leaving Li Chengzhong unable to bear the pain. After a while, he thought about what to do if they didn't let him go and then locked him up. He even considered Li Chengzhong dragging them out directly.

When he thought about the possibility of beheading, he broke out in a cold sweat. He comforted himself that Li Chengzhong did not dare to treat him like this. He was the nephew of General Zhao...

After spending the last day in repeated entanglements, Cui He was taken out of the cabin by the soldiers. Also released at the same time were Zhao Heng and others who were imprisoned this time. Zhao Heng had a grimace and his eyes were blank.

, just habitually comforted the Zhao family disciples with a few words one by one. Zhao Yuanping, who was the best in martial arts, also lost interest in provoking the escorting soldiers and followed them silently, but there was still a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The children of the Zhao family were escorted to a large wooden house next to the school grounds. According to the requirements of the officer on duty, they sat side by side on several benches. There were already dozens of soldiers sitting in the wooden house. These people were different from the children of the Zhao family.

Everyone was talking happily. Most of them looked at the children of the Zhao family with smiles, and it was hard to tell whether their eyes were warm or sarcastic.

Cui He saw a one-step high wooden platform set up in front of him. There were desks and several benches on the wooden platform. A banner hung on the wall behind the wooden platform, which read "Opening Ceremony of the First Phase of Bailangshan Military Academy"

”.

Suddenly, the officer on duty shouted "stand up", and dozens of Yingzhou soldiers sitting on the benches stood up neatly, without squinting, with their heads held high and their arms hanging vertically on both sides, motionless.

When Cui He was in solitary confinement, he often watched the soldiers' drills on the school field through the small window of the wooden house. He had seen many soldiers being punished for being slow to obey orders or making mistakes in their actions. He quickly learned to stand up and pulled his arms at the same time.

A few companions sat next to me.

Most of the Zhao family disciples couldn't figure out the way. Some stood up under Cui He's pull, and some looked at the soldiers of the Yingzhou Army standing around them inexplicably, but they saw the officer on duty striding over with a short stick.

Under the vicious glare of the star-duty officer, most of the Zhao family's children panicked and stood up, except Zhao Yuanping, who still sat there nonchalantly. The star-duty officer came up and hit him on the back with a short stick.

Yuan Ping was furious and was about to come forward to fight, but Zhao Heng grabbed him tightly and whispered: "People are scared by the short eaves, let's not suffer the loss in front of us."

Zhao Yuanping's eyes widened in anger, and he stared at the officer on duty for a long time. Finally, he was pulled up by Zhao Heng, and he stood there, but he was not convinced and was breathing heavily...,

But he saw a row of generals striding in from outside the door. The first one was tall and climbed directly onto the wooden platform. The generals behind him followed him one after another and lined up on both sides. Cui He saw that it was Li Chengzhong.

The officer on duty said "salute", and the soldiers in the audience clenched their fists across their chests. Li Chengzhong and the officers on the platform also saluted back at the same time.

The officer on duty said again: "Sit down!" The soldiers in the audience sat down neatly at the same time, with their hands on their knees, motionless.

The children of the Zhao family are all dandies in Youzhou City, and their own official ranks were obtained from General Zhao from the Jiedu Mansion. They had never seen such a serious scene, and they were immediately frightened, and they followed suit carefully.

Only Zhao Yuanping stood upright on the spot, motionless. Zhao Heng tugged at the corner of his clothes. Zhao Yuanping opened Zhao Heng's stretched arm with a slap and said loudly: "What on earth do you want to do to this man named Li? Let me tell you, man."

It’s not a good man to frown!”

Li Chengzhong looked at Zhao Yuanping coldly on the stage, turned to Jiang Miao next to him and said, "How can I be punished if I roar in the military hall without permission?"

Jiang Miao waved his hand: "In accordance with the "Rules and Regulations for Soldiers of the Yingzhou Army", if you roar in the military hall without authorization, you will be punished with three military sticks for disrespecting the superior.

Pay for one month! Execute on the spot!”

The officer on duty received the order from the hall, summoned several soldiers from outside the door, held Zhao Yuanping down on the spot, and dragged him out of his seat. Zhao Yuanping was proud of his courage and wanted to struggle, but he didn't expect these soldiers to be mature.

The act of kidnapping someone involved putting their big hands on his neck, twisting their wrists and elbows with their arms, and pressing their knees against his lower abdomen and leg bends. Zhao Pingyuan immediately knelt down, was tied up with a rope, dragged out of the door and directly hit with a stick.

.

Zhao Yuanping was quite stubborn. He just shouted "dissatisfied" outside the door. Occasionally, the sound of being beaten with a stick could be heard. After being beaten with a military stick, the officer on duty asked someone to escort Zhao Yuanping back and force him to a bench.

As soon as Zhao Yuanping's butt touched the bench, he immediately grimaced in pain, but he had no time to yell anymore.

At this time, the Zhao family's children all felt cold and behaved a lot more.

The soldier sitting in the first position in the first row stood up, saluted on the stage and loudly reported: "Liu Jinhou, the first-term team officer of Bailangshan Military Academy, reported to the principal that all sixty-one cadets are here, please give instructions to the principal!"
