When we left the tent, the sun was setting in the west.
Last night, when Xia Chu and the soldiers were making a bonfire and roasting game, Yan Jianghong told him with a look of anticipation that at sunset today, he would compete with Major General Guo Weidong in a riding and shooting competition, and asked Xia Chu to go and cheer.
Xia Chu was not a person who liked to join in the fun, but it just happened to be after the military training ended, so he stopped by to take a look.
Walking all the way to the training ground, I found a row of people standing on another high platform.
Looking from a distance, each of them is as tall as a pine tree, majestic and majestic.
"Doctor Yi, those are General Zhao over there, and Coach Gu is also there." Shao Guanghua saw Xia Chu coming, so he greeted him and introduced him.
When Xia Chu heard that it was his grandfather, he couldn't help but squinted his eyes, trying to see his appearance clearly.
Unfortunately, it was too far away and the view was hazy.
"Today's game is very grand? Even General Zhao came to watch?" Xia Chu asked doubtfully.
"I didn't come here specifically to see it. There hasn't been a military parade for a while, so I probably heard about it and watched it together." Shao Guanghua explained.
Xia Chu followed Shao Guanghua to the side of the training ground and sat on the steps. Some soldiers in the field smiled and waved to him from a distance when they saw Xia Chu. Xia Chu had no choice but to raise his hand and wave to them.
When the final exercise run is over, the team gathers.
Shao Guanghua shouted to the lined up team: "Disband."
Everyone swarmed in, and most of the people gathered around Xia Chu.
General Zhao on the high platform saw Xia Chu being supported here and couldn't help but ask Gu Weiyi: "Who is that? He doesn't look like a soldier."
"That is the new military doctor who was entrusted by a friend of mine. His name is Yi Dao. His medical skills are quite good, his conduct is also very good, and he is very popular among the army officers." Gu Weiyi replied respectfully.
"Why did you start using the back door to insert people into the military camp?" General Zhao became obviously unhappy.
"Well, his medical skills are really good. It doesn't count as a back door. When there is no war in our military camp, there are only two doctors. Once there is a war, we have to go to the city to recruit. Now it is good to have another doctor who is good at rejuvenating." Gu Weiyi answered respectfully on the surface, but he cursed a million times in his heart. Your son-in-law didn't put him in. What can I do
"Miaoshou Rejuvenation, is it so powerful?"
"Doctor Yi just saved a Lieutenant Colonel Deng Qi last month, the one who was good at arranging troops. It is said that he was carried to two old doctors, and they both said that they were poisoned by strange poison and could not be saved. In the end, Shan Xiangpeng, Yan Jianghong was carried to his place and cured within an hour." Gu Weiyi boasted proudly, after all, he was the one who led him into the military camp.
"It sounds like he does have some skills. After the game is over, call him over and let me see what's wrong with his head." Old General Zhao's face softened slightly and he ordered.
"yes."
Xia Chu, who was surrounded by soldiers for several levels on the other side, suddenly heard a slight cough, and then some scattered soldiers withdrew from him with embarrassed expressions and walked behind Guo Weidong.
Yan Jianghong didn't seem to see Guo Weidong. He crowded around Xia Chu and asked him: "Master, are you here to cheer me on?"
Guo Weidong snorted coldly and asked disdainfully: "Master? Are you the master of horseback riding and archery? Are you afraid that you can't compete with me, so you specially found someone to embarrass you?"
Xia Chu didn't pay much attention to the name Guo Weidong at first, but now his voice and accent became more and more familiar to him.
Suddenly I remembered, wasn't this one of the few living people left after the Zhao family army fell from the city.
After the Zhao family died in the battle, they heard that Guo Weidong led a small team to retreat into the mountains. They protected some people and went to the nearby Qingcheng, where they united with the city defenders to resist the enemy until reinforcements from the Shi family army sent by the imperial court arrived. Later, he was gradually promoted to general and completely replaced Zhao Jiajun.
"My master is a doctor in the army. He taught me cooking. He doesn't know how to ride and shoot. Come at me." Yan Jianghong stood up immediately after hearing this and said to Guo Weidong in front of Xia Chu.
"According to your dignity, you have to salute me and call me Major General Guo, do you understand?" Guo Weidong poked Yan Jianghong's chest with his index finger and sarcastically said every word.
Xia Chu half-squinted his eyes and sneered: "Young General Guo, what a great military power."
Guo Weidong pushed Yan Jianghong away, walked up to Xia Chu, looked at him arrogantly from top to bottom and said, "As a military official, you have to kneel down to me and pay homage to me according to your rank."
The soldiers surrounding Xia Chu wanted to protect him, but they did not dare to overstep their bounds. They could only say from the side: "Forget it, Major General Guo. Doctor Yi just arrived and bumped into you. Don't take it personally. "
Guo Weidong looked around and said coldly: "Do you have the right to speak?"
"Major General Guo really wants me to kneel down to worship?" Xia Chu snorted coldly, looked at him and asked.
Guo Weidong held his head high, even straightened his sleeves, put his hands on his hips, and took a posture, waiting for Xia Chu to pay homage.
Xia Chu stood up slowly.
The late spring wind gently blew his blue shirt.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast an orange halo around him.
Surrounded by a group of soldiers, he walked up to Guo Weidong, with a playful sneer on his lips.
"You have to think about it, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
In the early summer of the next year, I grew taller again. But facing Guo Weidong, he was still half a head shorter.
But the aura around him spread out step by step as he walked.
When he stood in front of Guo Weidong, the strong sense of oppression actually made Guo Weidong's legs weak.
Guo Weidong cursed his mother inexplicably in his heart, held his breath, and said in a deep voice to Xia Chu: "I can bear it."
"What can you bear?" Gu Weiyi walked over from the crowd and asked Guo Weidong with a frown.
It turned out that Shao Guanghua went to see Gu Weiyi when he saw the two of them fighting.
General Zhao saw that the competition hadn't started yet, so he ordered Gu Weiyi to come over and take a look at the situation.
"General Guo forced Doctor Yi to kneel down and pay homage to him." Shan Xiangpeng replied knowing that Gu Weiyi had always taken good care of Xia Chu.
After hearing this, Gu Weiyi felt that his legs were weak and he almost knelt down.
Fortunately, he arrived in time. If Xia Chu had been forced to kneel down, the Marquis would have killed him. Although I don't know what the background of this young man is, the importance attached to the token given by Xiahou Ye is definitely not simple.
Gu Weiyi is the head coach, and he and Guo Weidong are actually indistinguishable.
He moved out General Zhao and said: "Old General Zhao sent me to ask when the competition will begin. He also told Doctor Yi to go to his military tent after the competition to see what's wrong with his head."
Hearing this, Guo Weidong could only give up unwillingly, and snorted coldly, brushing his sleeves and saying: "Let the competition begin."
