The drill continued until evening.
However, Xiao Xu kept his original posture and did not move. Only when he changed camp could he see him raise his hand.
The crowd returned to their original positions again, raised their heads, and waited for his evaluation reverently and worriedly.
"This is the end of today's drill. This king already knows your abilities. It's good or bad, but it's more than enough to fight Nan Cang. What you should do now is to rebuild your beliefs. A few defeats don't mean anything."
It was obviously just a few ordinary words, which came out of Xiao Xu's mouth, but invisibly gave the army supreme motivation, each breathed a sigh of relief, and then straightened their backs more energetically.
King Ying is right, Nan Cang is just like that, as long as they fight this battle with all their hearts, they will definitely be driven out!
"Tonight, except for the camp in charge of patrolling, the other camps have a good rest and set off tomorrow."
Xiao Xu didn't say any more, and after he finished speaking, he waved his hands to dismiss the crowd.
Compared with the dazedness of the unknown when they came, the footsteps of everyone leaving at this time were a little more firm.
Xiao Xu's eyes were pale, this was the effect he wanted.
Just when Chu Qingyan was going to look for him while everyone was not paying attention, a figure arrived earlier than her.
"Brother, when do you think I can be as good as you?" Xiao Ran looked up at him with serious inquiry in his eyes.
Xiao Xu heard the sound and looked at him, but his eyes went beyond him to the sunset in the sky. The morning glow was beautiful, burning like a flame.
"Some people don't need to learn to march and fight, and they don't need to be the ultimate in everything. As long as they have the world in mind, care for the people, know people well and take care of them, don't listen to favoritism, stay close to worthy ministers, and stay far away, then there will always be many outstanding people. The sages, the soldiers, will be born and die for him, protect the family and the country, and sprinkle their blood on the country."
Xiao Ran looked at him blankly, feeling that this answer didn't seem to be what he wanted, but he rarely saw the eldest brother speak to him in such a serious way, not only because the armor he was wearing was too shining, but he suddenly couldn't see the person in front of him. .
It was only after a long time that he was completely wrong. He sat alone on a high building and looked up at the stars. He suddenly remembered what the eldest brother said to him today, and he suddenly came to his senses.
It turned out that early in the morning, his eldest brother did not have the heart to compete with him for the reserve, and made his position clear to him from the beginning, but at that time, he was too stupid to understand the meaning.
Xiao Xu didn't expect him to understand now, he was still young, his shoulders were not strong enough, and he couldn't carry heavy responsibilities, so Xiao Xu changed the subject.
"This morning, I saw someone coming from Kyoto. I think it's the father who wants to call you back. Tomorrow, when the camp is set up, you can go back to the palace. I will send troops to escort you."
When Xiao Ran heard this, his mouth became bitter. He wanted to fight to stay by the side of the eldest brother. In the past, he was just talking on paper. Although he has gone through several battles and learned more or less experience, it is far from enough.
The first emperor is a good teacher. If he can be by his side, he will grow up quickly.
It's a pity that the father's will, the insistence of the mother and the concubine, plus his injury, could not cause trouble to the eldest brother, and he finally gave up.
"Eldest brother, sometimes I feel that as a royal, I can't help myself." Xiao Ran smiled miserably.
Xiao Xu gave him a deep look, "We were born without the right to be willful."
As if saying this, it was a little heavy, Xiao Xu paused for a moment, "You have been sitting for a day, go back."
Xiao Ran is silent, the first emperor is right, others only see their bright side, but they don't know how much responsibility they bear.
"Brother, you can keep it for everyone, don't worry about me, I will arrive at the capital safely." Xiao Ran said to him before leaving.
Xiao Xu nodded, Xiao Ran was no longer a child, he didn't need to worry.
When turning around, Xiao Ran saw Chu Qingyan standing on one side, her red clothes fluttering, which was particularly eye-catching.
He stepped forward and clasped her wrist, his tone a little excited, "Chu Yan, it's so nice to see you, come, come with me."
Chu Qingyan frowned and looked at his hand. He had only met once, so is it really good to just pull and pull like this
However, before she could break free, the other party had already pulled her away, "Eh—"
Xiao Xu's eyes fell on the hands of the two of them, and he squinted slightly, but soon someone stepped forward to report the matter, he couldn't help but look away, and when he looked in that direction again, the two had disappeared.
"Where's Ayan?" Xiao Xu asked the Fire Spirit beside him.
"It seems that I went to the fourth prince's tent. I believe that He Xuyi has already followed him. You can rest assured, master." Huo Ling quickly replied, thinking that the master was concerned about the safety of the little princess.
Xiao Xu was silent for a moment, then responded, and then walked towards the main tent with someone.
At this time, Chu Qingyan had already been dragged into Xiao Ran's tent, and she regained her freedom only after he let go.
With the strength of the two of them, Chu Qingyan was able to free his hand with a little force, but for the sake of his injury, she didn't do it, but she didn't expect the injured person to have such a strong hand. His wrists were all red.
Xiao Ran, who let go of his hand at this moment, murmured in his heart, this Chu Yan is like a little girl, with such a slender wrist, as if he would break it if he exerted force.
However, he didn't think much about it, but walked into the depths of the camp, and under Chu Qingyan's puzzled eyes, he dragged out a large wooden box.
Chu Qingyan didn't know what he was doing, but she still stepped forward to help.
When the wooden box was dragged into the middle, Xiao Ran took a deep breath, probably because of the wound, he couldn't help coughing a few times, his face a little tangled.
"Are you alright?" Chu Qingyan couldn't bear to ask when he saw that his complexion was pale again.
"It's nothing, it's just a minor injury." Xiao Ran waved his hand and didn't care.
Chu Qingyan sneered in her heart, and she wanted to face the crime.
Then she patted the wooden box and asked curiously, "What are these? They are very heavy."
As soon as she finished speaking, she inadvertently saw a suspicious blush from his cheeks to the base of his ears, a little surprised, "Do you have a fever?"
She knew that she was injured by a sword, and if it was not handled properly, it would be easy to have a high fever.
As she said that, she naturally wanted to reach out to help him touch his forehead, but as soon as she reached out to the air, she immediately retracted it. She suddenly remembered that in ancient times, men and women were inseparable, and she really followed the big ice for a long time, and this problem has not changed. .
And Xiao Ran had an unnatural look on her face because of her questioning just now. She was afraid that she would find out that something was wrong with her. When she saw her misunderstanding, she breathed a sigh of relief. Swallow the tunnel, as if telling someone a secret.
"These are the birthday gifts I'm going to give to Qingyan."
"I've been preparing for four years, to be exact."
