Chapter 131 Round 2
Chapter 131 Round 2
Zhao Si ran back covered in dust and dirt, sat down next to Gu Changfeng and stopped talking.
Gu Changfeng finally came back to his senses and stopped staring at the piano on the platform: "What happened? Did your pursuit fail?"
"I……"
Seeing him hesitating, Gu Changfeng asked, "I just wanted to ask you, what are you going to do with this dish? Isn't there one on his table?"
Zhao Si lowered his head: "I was too careless. I thought the prince ate differently from them..."
"It's not a big deal, don't be so depressed." Gu Changfeng rubbed Zhao Si's head, "There's no rush, eat your meal first."
"Is there really no impact?" Zhao Si put the plate in his hand on the table with a hopeful look on his face.
"No, the other party just thinks we are two fools."
Zhao Si: “!!!”
"I'm sorry, Prince. I was wrong..."
"It's okay. Discuss it with me next time so that I can know about it. After all, this is my own business." Gu Changfeng remembered that during the days of cold war with Shen Mingjue, he had the honor of going to Chengnan Music House. At that time, he sat down like this, looking up at the high platform.
Zhao Si nodded, took the initiative to pick up some food for Gu Changfeng, and sighed, "It's a bad start. It seems we have to think of another way."
After the short banquet, Lieutenant General Xue led his troops to help the people in the city with farm work, collect supplies, and count food and fodder.
We won this battle, but the Hu people suffered heavy losses. They will not attack us again in the short term. According to General Shen and Lieutenant General Xue, we should rest and recuperate until after this winter.
So in the afternoon, Xue Zhong took Shen Mingjue and Gu Changfeng to an open space in the city to exercise.
Xue Zhongru said: "Although according to my father's wishes, I should start with horse riding and archery, but it was not so easy for me back then..."
Gu Changfeng and Shen Mingjue thought that horse riding and archery were not easy.
"You will all be going to the battlefield in the future, so if you practice more today, you will have a better chance of surviving on the battlefield in the future. Am I right, Prince?" Xue Zhong looked at Gu Changfeng.
"Ah."
"Well, since what I said is right, let's start with physical training today. Sometimes we need to transport food and grass to another place, and time is tight. Let's simulate it today. Each of you two will carry a bag of rice and run around here three times." Xue Zhong sat on the chair and said softly.
Gu Changfeng: What did I think it was? Isn't it just running with weights? How simple is that?
Shen Mingjue was in poor health, and his face turned pale when he saw the bag of rice, but Gu Changfeng didn't care and walked over to carry the bag on his back.
"Wait!" Xue Zhong suddenly shouted, "I didn't think it through. Both of you have different body tolerance levels."
Shen Mingjue was worrying about the bag of rice, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Xue Zhong continued, "The prince needs to carry two bags of rice."
Gu Changfeng: “???”
"Do you have any other questions?"
Gu Changfeng & Shen Mingjue: "..."
Xue Zhong smiled and said, "Then please start."
An hour later.
Shen Mingjue was panting and leaning against the wall to rest. His collar was a little wet and his legs were weak from running.
Gu Changfeng was so tired that his face turned red. He had never suffered so much before and he didn't know what was going on with this open space. Before he ran away, he thought the place was not very big.
Xue Zhong lazily got up from his chair: "It's only three sets, are you so tired?"
"..."
"You are so used to a life of luxury that you don't understand the hardship of us frontier soldiers. Well, you have to practice here today. I want to see you two here before dawn tomorrow morning. Go back today."
Xue Zhong sighed, "I'm so lucky. When I first came to this military camp, I finished training every day well past mealtime and was hungry every day. Unlike you, I can still have dinner today."
After Xue Zhong left, Gu Changfeng walked over to Shen Mingjue and asked, "Are you okay?"
Shen Mingjue was much better now, at least his breathing was steady, "I'm fine."
Although he said this, everyone could see that his legs were so weak that he needed to hold on to the wall.
Gu Changfeng pulled his arm and tried to carry him away.
"No, no need..."
"Don't be polite to me. Just think of it as me having weak legs and needing your support to walk."
Shen Mingjue was too embarrassed to do that and couldn't persuade him, so the two of them had to support each other and walk towards the tent.
As soon as Zhao Si went out, he saw this scene and almost fainted from fear: "What happened to the prince? What happened to Master Shen? Who bullied you?"
Gu Changfeng was so tired that he didn't want to talk, but he had to say: "Go and boil two buckets of hot water for us. I asked someone to send us food. Remember to bring it in later."
"well……"
The two of them supported each other into the house and sat on the chairs.
"Why bother? We can eat just as well over there."
Gu Changfeng shook his head and said, "This is the first time for you and me to train so awkwardly. It's better not to let the soldiers see us."
Shen Mingjue poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp: "That's right."
"You take a shower first, I have something else to do." Gu Changfeng said.
"Ah."
Zhao Si was boiling water in the back, thinking: "It looks like the prince and Mr. Shen must have just returned from training. How about I prepare a bigger tub so they can bathe together. This will definitely help them bond better."
So a quarter of an hour later, Shen Mingjue took off his clothes in Gu Changfeng's tent and entered the bathtub, only to find that the bathtub was surprisingly large, enough for two people.
"As expected of a prince's thing, it's much bigger than my bathtub."
Shen Mingjue didn't think any more about it. He quickly washed up, changed into the clothes that Gu Changfeng had prepared for him, and then took his lunch box back.
By the time Gu Changfeng took a shower, there was no hot water.
"Zhao Si, where's the hot water? Didn't I tell you to boil enough for two people?"
Zhao Si's eyes widened: "Didn't you take a shower with Master Shen?"
Gu Changfeng: “???”
"Why should I take a shower with him? We both just came from the training ground. It's better to take a shower separately."
Zhao Si frowned: "But, but I have put all the water in the bathtub..."
"I thought you two came back together because you reconciled... but..."
Gu Changfeng had just finished his meal and felt that he must have been dizzy, otherwise why did he see double when he saw Zhao Si?
"Then why are you still standing there? Go and burn it again."
"Yes Yes."
Zhao Si returned to the kettle and stood guard, thinking: I just don’t understand, how could good intentions lead to bad results?
