Actually I've never really liked horse riding.
I have never liked riding horses since I was a child. My dream is to be a blacksmith, because my father is a blacksmith. Unfortunately, he died. So, I went to be a soldier.
Maybe I'm lucky, I was selected into the "Thunder Whip", the most elite team in the empire. There is a military salary of five gold coins a year, which is much higher than being a blacksmith. Moreover, our commander, Lord Sieg, never withholds military pay. I know that brothers in other battalions can only get three gold coins per year.
Lord Sieg is a good man, but he is too strict. A brother in my room fell asleep on the horse while riding, and was beaten with twenty military sticks.
In fact, I almost fell asleep that day. After all, we were all exhausted after running on the horse for six consecutive hours.
Lord Sieg said that there was a powerful enemy in the northwest. They grew up on horses, and each of them could eat and sleep on horses. He is training us so strictly now so that we can have more chances to survive on the battlefield in the future.
My archery skills are very good, and none of the brothers who share the same tent with me can compare with me. I have been blacksmithing with my father since I was a child, and I have strong arms. I can draw the iron bow of our Central Cavalry Corps without any effort. He can shoot seventeen or eighty arrows in one breath.
At the beginning, they all laughed at me and said that I was too strong and useless. But that day during the shooting practice at the school field, I shot ten arrows and seven of them hit red hearts. From then on, they no longer laughed at me. Lord Sieg was in a good mood that day and ordered me to be promoted to squad leader. The people in our tent and the people in the next tent were all under my control.
I have no interest in becoming an officer, but after becoming an officer, my annual military salary increased from five gold coins to seven gold coins, which made me very happy.
Before my father died, he said that he wanted me to save money so that I could marry a wife in the future.
I think that when I save enough money and retire from the army in the future, I can marry Ahua back.
Ahua lives next door to me and is very delicate. When she was little, she always liked to call me brother because I was one year younger than her. Then one day, when I told her that I didn’t want to be her brother, I wanted to be her man, Ahua’s face turned red. On the day I joined the army, Ah Hua gave me a small jade flower. I know that this is what his father said he would use as a dowry for her in the future.
That night I was so happy that I did somersaults at home, and it didn't matter that I broke the bed. I know that Ahua will be my wife from now on.
Although the training in the Central Cavalry Corps is very hard, I am not afraid, I will make enough money to marry Ahua!
The barracks gives us one day off every month for us to go out and hang out. I never go drinking with other brothers. As soon as I leave the barracks, I go back to see Ahua. Civilians in the empire are not allowed to carry weapons, but I can. I am a soldier of the Central Cavalry Corps. Every time I go home wearing a military uniform and carrying a sword under my waist, I feel very proud and everyone around me looks at me. Ahua was also very happy, but she never wanted to say another word to me. She would blush whenever she spoke and would run home as soon as she blushed.
In fact, I know that every time she runs home, she will hide behind the door and peek at me.
On the second day when I became an officer, I immediately went home with seven gold coins. I wanted to give the money to Ahua and ask her to wait for me!
But that day I stood at the intersection and watched Ahua being picked up by a horse. She also saw me, but this time her face was not red, but very white.
The person who picked her up was the owner of the cloth shop in the street behind. They said that Ahua was taken home by him as his little wife.
I myself forgot how I got back to the military camp that day. Later I found that the seven gold coins in my pocket were gone. I thought for a long time before I remembered that I had thrown them to a few beggars.
Later, when we were sparring the next day, I knocked down a brother with just one sword. He never dared to sparr with me again. That day they said that my eyes were staring with bloodshot eyes, as if I wanted to Looks like a cannibal.
I don't care what they think, I just secretly took out the jade flower and touched it when I was lying on my bed at night. I don't know if I should return this thing to Ahua.
In fact, I can't bear to return it. I know that after I return it, I will never have anything from Ahua again...
The new Duke is a young man, he seems to be a little younger than me. He looked very handsome, with blond hair and blue eyes.
We knew he was the Tulip Duke, and everyone looked at him with respect. Who in the imperial team doesn’t know the word tulip
But we also know that when he comes, it means that we are going to the battlefield to fight!
Sir Sieg transferred me to be the Duke's personal soldier. A total of two hundred brothers in the army were transferred. These are very powerful. I know one of them. His archery skills are better than mine. When I shoot, seven out of ten arrows can hit the target, but he can hit them all.
He later became our captain.
The Duke is a good man and has no airs. Although he was dressed very stylishly, I always felt that he didn't look like a noble, but more like a commoner like me. I don't know why I think so.
When we left the city that day, everyone in the imperial capital came to see us. The sound was deafening.
I sat on the horse with my body upright and my hands full of sweat. The Duke was right next to me, and he patted me and told me not to be nervous.
Actually I'm not nervous, I'm just wondering if Ahua has come to see me. I looked in the crowd for a long time and didn't see her face.
I didn't feel any pain after traveling for two days at a stretch. Once you get used to it, your body will feel a little tired, but you can still hold on. There's just something strange in that village. I know why. His Excellency the Duke asked us to go to the northern entrance of the village. When every house on the road saw us, they quickly closed their doors and windows.
Aren't they all members of the empire? Why are you scared when you see us
The captain asked me to climb a tree to keep watch because my archery skills were the best after him. My archery skills are good and my eyesight is naturally good. Even though it is dark, I can still see farther than others.
I sat on the bed, looking in front of me, and I always had a strange feeling in my heart. I don’t know why, but I was always frightened tonight, and I always felt that something was going to happen.
I took out Ahua's jade flower and held it in my hand, and then I felt a little calmer for a while.
The guys from the Big Moon Kingdom were very cunning and sneaked out of the woods. Although I saw it, their archery skills were also very good.
I often hear people say that people who are good at archery will eventually die from arrows. Unexpectedly, this is quite accurate.
As soon as I shouted, I felt a pain in my neck, and then it seemed that all the air in my chest was expelled, and I couldn't even scream...
Ahua, I don’t want to be your brother in my next life, I want to be your man... -
