Chapter 242
Chapter 242
"No one likes their child to be a prodigal." Shen Hui'e chuckled and said, "Just like the current emperor, if the old emperor knew that the throne was passed on to such a person, he would be so angry that he would jump out of his coffin and beat him up."
"Passed it to him? It seems not. He is not the crown prince, but he stole the crown prince's position." Huang Zhongchang said immediately after hearing this.
"He stole the position, but he doesn't govern the country properly. He's just messing around." Shen Hui'e said with disgust, "If he was diligent and caring for the people, he would have a good reputation in history books. Now he will probably be infamous for thousands of years. He definitely has a place among the ranks of incompetent rulers."
"Haha..." Huang Zhongchang laughed unkindly.
"Let's go. They should have finished their meal by now. Let's continue training." Shen Hui'e turned and left the barracks.

After arriving at the training ground, Shen Hui'e asked them to hold shields and swords and practice swinging them.
"You are so weak, have you not eaten enough?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them waving knives.
"We just had a full meal."
"Why is it so weak to swing the knife?" Shen Hui'e waved her hand and said, "Give me the knife." She took the knife by the handle, stepped back a few steps, and swung the knife out, shouting loudly with the sound of whistling wind, "Kill..."
This sudden fright made them shiver.
"It has to be done this way." Shen Hui'e took back the knife and said, "You must be strong in your momentum and show a desperate posture." She handed the knife handle back to the young man and said, "You practice like this."
"Know!"
"kill……"
The momentum is completely different from before, and this timid guy is scared to pee his pants.
"Why is there such a big change?" Zhang Jixian heard the sound of killing and ran over hurriedly.
"You asked her." Huang Zhongchang pointed at his wife beside him.
"When two enemies meet on a narrow road, the bravest one wins! If you lose in terms of momentum, don't fight this battle." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "By the way, if we can make a shield, can we also make armor on the chest and back?"
"Is it possible?" Huang Zhongchang said, patting his chest.
"It's better than not having any cover at all and just using your body to block it!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark eyes and said, "You can braid it first and wear it on your body to try the effect."
"Okay! Let's try it." Huang Zhongchang agreed cheerfully.
"You guys can make this up yourself!" Shen Hui'e tilted her head slightly and looked at them and asked, "You have strong hands."
"We can do it ourselves. Everyone can make it up." Huang Zhongchang responded readily, "We'll make it up tonight."
"It's dark at night, will it be possible?" Shen Hui'e looked at him worriedly.
"We can do it with our eyes closed." Huang Zhongchang said with a smile.
"That's good." Shen Hui'e nodded and said with a smile, "I'll also make a hat on my head."
"Hat!" Huang Zhongchang touched his prickly head and said, "Okay, no problem, it's good to protect my head."
"It looks like we have a lot to do." Huang Zhongchang said as he looked at them with a smile.
In the evening, Shen Hui'e took the children down the mountain as the sun set. The mountain was very inconvenient for her.
&*&
Huang Zhongchang took his brothers back to the barracks.
"Oh! Why has my bed changed?"
"Yes! Yes! It was a mess when I left, but now the hay is neatly laid out."
"From now on, make sure the bed is ready for me every time you get up." Huang Zhongchang said, pointing his index finger at the bed.
"Brother Huang, what's the point of making this bed? Just grab some hay and spread it under you at night."
"That's right, that's right. No one comes here, so who are we showing it to? It doesn't matter whether we spread it or not."
Huang Zhongchang, who had not taken it seriously at first, heard so many rebuttals.
"This is an order, it must be laid." Huang Zhongchang suddenly looked at them seriously and said.
Everyone looked at him in surprise, wondering what was wrong with him.
"I will check every day. If the mat is laid well, there will be rewards. If it is not laid well, there will be penalties." Huang Zhongchang looked at them with a stern face and said, "If one person does not lay the mat well, everyone in the barracks will be punished together!"
"is it necessary?"
"We have to do it every day! The hay has been laid out and the shoes are placed in this position. There can't be any mistakes." Huang Zhongchang looked at them with cold eyes and pointed at the barracks, "Just do it like this."
"Alright alright!"
"What's the reward?"
"Bun?"
"Okay! You did a good job, and I'll give you steamed buns as a reward." Huang Zhongchang looked at them with a gentle expression and said, "Awu, please make the arrangements."
"Yes." Awu responded respectfully with his hands clasped together.
"Do these things within your ability yourself! Don't leave them to others." Huang Zhongchang suddenly remembered and said.
"what?"
"What?" Huang Zhongchang's dark eyes swept over them and said, "I do it myself, and you do the same."
"what?"
"Did you hear that? Don't be naked..." Huang Zhongchang said, pointing at them.
"understood."
"No! Brother Huang, you have to take care of this too!"
"Although the place we live in is not very good, it can't be like a doghouse, messy and messy." Huang Zhongchang looked at them with a stern face and said, "Let others take a look. All barracks must be like this in the future. If you don't do it well, I will punish you."
"That's it!" Huang Zhongchang called Zhang Jixian out of the barracks.
After the two of them left, a quarrel broke out in the barracks.
"What is this for?"
"Why do you suddenly care about our bed?"
"Don't ask us, we don't know either."
"So shall we do it?"
"Just do what's convenient!"
"If you do a good job, you will be rewarded with steamed buns. I want to eat steamed buns."
"The first place in the race was rewarded with steamed buns, but now I can reward you with steamed buns just for making the bed. This is a good deal!"
"Maybe it's very important in the eyes of Brother Huang!"
"If you don't do it well, you will be punished."
"What can be the punishment?"
"You'll know if you try it."
"No, no, no, I don't want to be punished."
"I don't want to try carrying wood and watching others eat steamed buns."
"Ugh! That's so cruel."
"Mrs. Shen punishes us in all kinds of ways."
"I thought we would be beaten and scolded!"
"how come?"
"Of course not. Those supervisors whip us all the time."
"I still have whip marks on my body!"
"Mrs. Shen is different. She doesn't even let us say swear words."
"You're nicer to me than my mom is!"
"Uh-huh!"
&*&
Huang Zhongchang left the barracks and breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the fiery clouds fading away in the sky.
Zhang Jixian chased after him and looked at him and said, "Why did you do this suddenly? I've never seen you so serious about such trivial matters before." He raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the reason?"
"My wife and I came to see the barracks. It looked like a doghouse, so my wife asked us to do this." Huang Zhongchang said as he walked, "Why did you do this?" He explained the reasons in detail.
"It's the right thing to do. Soldiers must obey orders absolutely, starting with the insignificant things." Zhang Jixian nodded in agreement, "Sister-in-law is quite resourceful." He asked curiously, "How did she come up with this idea?"
"Don't ask me. I don't know either." Huang Zhongchang looked at him without blushing or panting, and then added seriously, "My wife loves to read bamboo slips."
"No wonder, you are so well-read." Zhang Jixian looked at him with his bright eyes.
"Is studying really that good?" Huang Zhongchang looked at him in surprise.
"Of course, we have to put what we have learned into practice." Zhang Jixian said as he walked, "Otherwise, we will just study hard and become a Confucian scholar! We will talk nonsense and be annoying."
"Then do I have to study too?" Huang Zhongchang pursed his lips and looked at him.
"What do you think?" Zhang Jixian looked at him with amusement and asked, "You can't be worse than them!"
"But I can't bring myself to do that." Huang Zhongchang said embarrassedly.
"Why should we be embarrassed? We all know each other." Zhang Jixian looked at him with a smile and said, "There are times when you are afraid. You are not afraid of anything."
"I can't learn with everyone else!" Huang Zhongchang said embarrassedly, covering his face with his hands, "How about you teach me?"
"I..." Zhang Jixian braked suddenly, his eyes flickered and brightened as he said, "Let my sister-in-law teach you."
"She?" Huang Zhongchang suddenly raised his voice and said, "No, no." I am already a head shorter than her, and if I let her teach me, I will lose my dignity.
"You have to listen to my elegant words." Zhang Jixian thought seriously for a moment and said, "What I say is different from my sister-in-law. We are in different positions and have different starting points. I am afraid that we will quarrel."
"It's good to have an argument!" Huang Zhongchang's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Only when we have an argument can we see who has the right answer." He said with a trembling index finger, "Don't you always say: listen to both sides, listen to both sides..."
"Listen to both sides and you will be enlightened, listen to only one side and you will be confused." Zhang Jixian chuckled and shook his head when he heard this.
"Right, right, right!" Huang Zhongchang nodded vigorously, "You two should debate, so that we can learn faster."
"That's a nice thought." Zhang Jixian shook his head and laughed when he heard that.
"Teach me or not?" Huang Zhongchang stared at him and said.
"What's my sister-in-law's opinion?" Zhang Jixian said after a moment of hesitation.
"Leave this to me." Huang Zhongchang looked at him and said with a confident look.
"Sister-in-law, do you have time?" Zhang Jixian kindly reminded him.
"Uh..." Huang Zhongchang blinked and said, "She doesn't train every day. If she teaches them, they can practice on their own."
"Hmm!" Zhang Jixian smiled and nodded when he heard that.
"We have time, so take it slow." Huang Zhongchang looked at him calmly and said.
"We have to find a way to find food for our brothers. Their appetites increase during training, and there won't be enough food." Huang Zhongchang said to him with a frown.
"Then we have no choice but to go to the mountains." Zhang Jixian looked at the rolling hills and said, "We have a lot of people, let's go in and hunt."
"Good!" Huang Zhongchang replied with a smile, "Fortunately we have weapons, otherwise it would be very difficult for us to hunt with bare hands." Then he said, "We need to organize people to make rattan armor."
"I know. You have to arrange this. I am not familiar with this area." Zhang Jixian looked at him gently and said.
