The guards looked so dumb that they even forgot to salute.
His Royal Highness the King of Shu got off his horse neatly and glanced at him: "Don't be stunned. Come here and see Mr. Lian!"
The guards: "..."
One of the guards, who was exceptionally tall and strong, couldn't help blurting out: "Your Highness, stop joking!"
Yes, His Highness must be teasing them on purpose.
On weekdays, His Highness likes to joke. However, today’s joke was a little too much. I found a girl from nowhere and asked them to call me Chief Coach. Hahahaha...
Obviously, there were more than one or two who thought this way. Most of the more than ten guards had the same thought, and when they looked at each other, they all showed a knowing smile.
Sheng Hong did not explain much and scolded with a stern face: "Did you hear what I said? Let's salute Mr. Lian together!"
The guards were silent for a while and looked at each other again, this time their eyes were full of surprise.
Master Lian calmly dismounted and walked over.
She was quite tall, but she was still far behind the strong men in front of her. Every move she made was filled with a sharp and condensed aura. Her gaze was like a blade, sweeping over the faces of the guards.
All the guards shuddered.
"It's the first time we meet today," Mr. Lian's voice was neither high nor low, with a hint of coolness: "I won't argue with you about the rudeness. From tomorrow on, you must perform a military salute when you see me."
The guards: "..."
Mr. Lian didn't look at the dumbfounded looks of the guards anymore. He turned to Sheng Hong and said, "Your Highness, please order someone to summon all the soldiers to the martial arts training ground. I'll meet the generals first."
Sheng Hong nodded in agreement.
After the master and apprentice entered the military camp, a group of petrified guards slowly came back to their senses.
"God! Did I hear that right?"
"Your Highness really needs to hire a woman to be the chief instructor of our military camp!"
"This is too ridiculous! It's not like there is no one in the army! There are also highly skilled people among the guards around His Highness. Where can I find a woman?"
"Don't yell! Maybe this woman has a lot of background!"
"Hmph! No matter how high-ranking she is, she is still a woman. She should stay in the inner house to care for her husband and raise her children. What's the point of coming to the military camp? Damn it, it's my turn to be on duty at the front gate today, otherwise, I would have to go to the martial arts field to see what happens!"
"Isn't it? I'm scratching my head here and can't figure it out! What on earth is Your Highness thinking!"
The guards all talked about it and finally came to a conclusion.
Your Highness, King of Shu, must have taken the wrong medicine today!
Using a woman as the chief instructor of the military camp? It’s so ridiculous! If word gets out, everyone will laugh!
…
Today, there are definitely more than one or two people who have identified His Royal Highness as King Shu who took the wrong medicine!
Due to Master Lian's arrival, the entire military camp almost exploded!
When Mr. Lian stood on the high platform in the martial arts training ground and introduced himself as the new head coach, it was like cold water poured into hot oil, and it exploded with a crackle.
Sheng Hong had already been mentally prepared for this situation. He looked cold and ordered the guards around him to march with drums.
The military is very strict about orders and prohibitions. When the military drums sound, no matter how shocked you are, you have to suppress your shock and keep your mouth shut. The huge martial arts training ground becomes quiet after the drums stop.
A trace of satisfaction flashed in Mr. Lian's eyes.
The military camp was first built and the soldiers had not been trained for a month. To achieve this effect, it can be seen that Sheng Hong put a lot of effort into taking care of the new soldiers.
Sheng Hong stood next to Mrs. Lian, secretly lucky, and his voice clearly reached the ears of all the soldiers.
"This is Coach Lian."
"Instructor Lian is my mentor. I studied martial arts with her for several years before I became successful. I specially asked her to be your chief instructor. From now on, you will all be regarded as my junior brothers."
All the soldiers were suffocating, and after hearing the last sentence, they couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.
The tense atmosphere has relaxed a lot.
Think about it, this young, beautiful and solemn woman in front of you is the master of His Highness the King of Shu! Even the King of Shu treats her with great respect, how can these rough guys be stronger than His Highness!
"I know that you must be feeling depressed and unwilling to give in now."
Sheng Hong suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice: "However, there are many military orders. Since I have invited Commander Lian to the military camp, I will obey Commander Lian's daily drills in the future. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be punished.
Fifty military sticks!”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers' hearts tightened, and their eyes all fell on Mrs. Lian.
Being stared at by thousands of pairs of eyes, Mr. Lian showed no fear and said calmly: "My surname is Lian, and I come from the Lian family. You are right, I am the most famous general in Da Qi, the Lian family."
"My ancestors have made great military exploits, and my late grandfather was once regarded as General Lian. My uncles, brothers, and brothers are all serving in the army now. I have practiced martial arts with my grandfather since I was a child, and I am familiar with military books."
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu sincerely invites you. I have thought for a long time before accepting the position of chief instructor. You think I am a woman and you are not convinced by me, and that is okay. I will convince you today!"
After a pause, his eyes quickly glanced around, and he said slowly: "All those with official positions above a hundred commanders in the army will come out."
…
It's getting late and it's dusk.
The afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the plaque of the Shu Palace, and the golden plaque flashed with light.
This day seemed to be extremely long and difficult.
From time to time, Lin Weiwei would send people to the concierge to inquire. The maid quickly came to report: "His Royal Highness and Mr. Lian have not returned yet."
"Why haven't you come back yet?" Lin Weiwei felt uneasy: "It's almost dark. Something went wrong in the military camp! Sister Xie, you'd better send someone to the military camp to take a look!"
Compared to Lin Weiwei, Xie Mingxi is more confident and calm: "No need. If something really happened, His Highness would have sent someone back to deliver the letter. We will wait patiently."
Lin Weiwei glanced at Xie Mingxi, a little discouraged: "I have been very anxious and restless this day. You can calm down."
Xie Mingxi chuckled: "Actually, I was a little worried. It's just that I'm good at pretending, so I didn't show it."
Lin Weiwei: "..."
Lin Weiwei opened her bright eyes, looked at it carefully, and then curled her lips: "You lied to me again."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
In fact, what she just said was the truth.
Having a woman as the commander-in-chief of the military camp is by no means a trivial matter. Mr. Lian entered the military camp for the first time today, so he must show off his skills first and scare the soldiers. Otherwise, it will be useless even with Sheng Hong's support.
She seemed calm that day, but in fact she was always thinking about Mrs. Lian.
After Gu Shanchang returned home, he also came to the inner hall to wait with him.
After waiting for another half an hour, until it got dark, Sheng Hong and Mrs. Lian finally came back.
Xie Mingxi breathed a long sigh of relief, and stood up together with Lin Weiwei. Gu Shanchang took a step slower, followed the two of them, and went out together. (To be continued)
