Yuan Xin still got up at dawn, practiced his sword, had breakfast, and then went to the city gate to wait for others to join him one after another.
It was three o'clock in the morning, but Li Meng and the others still hadn't arrived.
Just as Yuanxin was about to send someone to call them, several people ran over panting.
"Cheng Xieling."
Yue Dahai ran over breathlessly.
Yuan Xin saw that one person was missing and asked anxiously, "Why are you so late?
Li Meng, why hasn't he come yet?"
Yue Dahai said, "Li Meng, Li Meng was taken away by officers and soldiers."
Yuan Xin became nervous instantly, "Why did something happen?"
Yue Dahai said with some embarrassment, "Last night Li Meng had an argument with a guest in the kiln, and someone accidentally died.
The madam reported it to the police, and a few of us were also taken for questioning.
We just came out now, and Li Meng still Being detained."
Yuan Xin was in a state of confusion and anxiety, "How could something like this still cost someone's life?"
Yue Dahai explained, "Originally we were just competing for a girl.
The guest was arrogant and unreasonable and even asked his men to use violence.
Li Meng was forced to fight back.
Unexpectedly, he hit hard."
"Okay, I understand," Yuan Xin was worried and told the others, "The people from the court will come later.
You take the others to escort them to the military camp.
I will go to the government office."
Yue Dahai advised, "Cheng Xieling, I know you are worried about Li Meng, but you better not go.
Our main task this time is to meet military needs.
You will definitely be punished for leaving your post without permission, and the government office is temporarily closed.
It won't be tried for a while, so it's useless for you to go.
After all, it's a human life case, and they won't let it go easily.
It's better for us to go back and report it to the leader, General Yang."
Yuan Xin disagreed, "But General Yang has always been very disciplined and will not be lenient when he conflicts with the people.
What's more, he committed a murder case.
It is lucky that he is not punished severely.
How can he save Li Meng?"
Yue Dahai held him back, "You also know that General Yang has strict discipline.
How can he let you go so easily if you leave your post without permission?
I know that you have deep love for your brothers and cannot bear to have Li Meng alone without help, but you also want more."
Think about it for yourself.
As the co-leader of Li Meng's arrest this time, you are already guilty of lax management.
Don't add another level to your crime.
Besides, escorting the military supplies is the most important thing.
If something happens to us, we will do it.
Can’t bear it.”
Yuanxin was in a dilemma, Yue Dahai continued, "Cheng Xieling, don't be impulsive, put the overall situation first."
Others knew that Yuan Xin was highly skilled in martial arts.
When they heard that Yuan Xin wanted to leave, they suddenly felt that they had no backbone and were very uneasy.
They all stepped forward to persuade him.
Yuan Xin nodded with difficulty, turned around and walked away to calm down alone.
Am I impulsive?

Am I acting on my own terms?
Am I still so ignorant, regardless of the overall situation?
Am I wrong to do what I want to do?
I will only make things worse, right?
Am I really no different from the person I was in Beijing?
Yuan Xin closed his eyes in pain, this feeling of helplessness was really heartbreaking.
In the end, Yuanxin did not go to rescue Li Meng.
He successfully received officials from the central government and a group of people arrived at the military camp on time.
Jinfeng reported to Cheng Zheng, "Master, Yuanxin and the others are back."
Cheng Zheng was writing something and responded casually without raising his head.
"But" Jin Feng hesitated before speaking.
Cheng Zheng asked, "Why, he caused trouble again?"
Jinfeng explained, "It wasn't him this time.
It was a man named Li Meng in his team who caused trouble outside and was arrested by the local government.
Yuanxin neglected his duty as a co-leader and was beaten thirty times by General Yang.
Army stick.”
Cheng Zheng was actually a little relieved, "Oh, I used to end things for him, but I never imagined that there would be a day when he would take responsibility for other people's mistakes."
"I heard someone say that Yuan Xin wanted to go to the Yamen to rescue Li Meng today, but his men stopped him."
Cheng Zheng was slightly surprised, "It's really rare that someone can stop Yuan Xin's stubborn temper."
"Maybe he is afraid of injuring other people.
Yuanxin is usually very friendly to everyone.
But then again, if Yuanxin really goes, it will be in trouble."
Cheng Zheng said helplessly, "His temper won't last long without a few beatings, so let him have his way."
A few days later, Cheng Zheng and Jin Feng returned from a night out.
Each battalion had gone to rest, with only a few groups of soldiers patrolling from time to time.
The two passed by a tent.
Cheng Zheng waved his hand to Jinfeng to stop, "What's the sound?"
The two of them went out looking for a sound.
There was a man huddled beside the tent, chewing something in his mouth and making strange noises.
He smelled of alcohol.
Jinfeng patted him with his sword, "Wake up, which camp are you from?"
The man pushed away Jinfeng's sword and raised his head with blurred eyes, "Are you drinking?"
Jin Feng saw a familiar face and showed a surprised expression.
He turned around and said to Cheng Zheng, "It's Yuan Xin.
Behind is the granary.
He should have gone inside to steal some wine."
Cheng Zheng stepped forward and kicked Yuan Xin, "Get up."
Yuan Xin moved impatiently and said, "Go away, go away."
Cheng Zheng told Jinfeng, "Go get a basin of ice water."
"Yes."
Jinfeng responded and left.
When Cheng Zheng saw how drunk he was, he got angry and hit Yuanxin with his sword, "Cheng Yuanxin, get up."
Yuan Xin frowned in pain from being hit by him, pouted and said, "Brother, don't be so cruel."
Cheng Zheng was stunned and blinked in disbelief.
He could no longer be fierce.

He knelt down and called him gently, "Yuan Xin, wake up.
Why did you drink so much?
What happened?"
Yuan Xin burped and asked confusedly, "Brother, do you think I have changed?"
Just as Cheng Zheng was about to answer, Yuan Xin started talking to himself again, "I haven't changed.
I'm the same as I was two years ago.
I'm cowardly and incompetent and can't protect anyone."
Cheng Zheng patted him on the shoulder and asked him, "Who do you want to protect?"
Yuan Xin smiled bitterly, "Li Meng, if I had saved him that day, he wouldn't have died.
It's all my fault.
I hate myself so much.
You know, brother, didn't you ask me if I hate you?
No."
Ah, I just hate myself, I am weak and incompetent , I am selfish, I can't protect anyone, but I will always bring disaster to the people around me, right?
Brother, do you think so too?
Otherwise, why did you drive me out of the capital?
Drive me out of the capital.”
"I'm sorry," Cheng Zheng apologized deeply, "I didn't take your feelings into consideration and insisted on letting you leave.
It was my fault."
Yuan Xin smiled stupidly, "I forgive you, can you forgive me too?"
"Forgive you for what?"
"Grandpa, mother, please forgive me?"
Cheng Zheng nodded solemnly, "Okay."
"But, I can't forgive myself," Yuan Xin struggled to stand up.
Cheng Zheng tried to help him but he threw him away.
"I don't want to see you.
Every time I see you, I hate myself even more."
"Don't torture yourself, okay?
You are neither weak nor incompetent.
You are not a disaster.
You are my brother, my dearest brother."
"I'm not."
Yuanxin stumbled around Cheng Zheng and left.
Cheng Zheng pulled him.
Jinfeng was approaching with a basin of water.
Yuanxin waved his hand and hit Cheng Zheng.
The basin of water sprinkled on Cheng Zheng.
People were stunned for a moment, and Yuan Xin felt dizzy and fell asleep again.
Jinfeng was caught off guard, "Young Master"
On this cold winter night, Cheng Zheng was so cold that he was doused with ice water.
He looked at Jin Feng in disbelief, "You actually brought a basin of ice water.
Why don't you secretly add some hot water?"
Jinfeng was speechless.
Do you admit your mistake?
I came according to your order.

Don't you admit your mistake?
Looking at Cheng Zheng's widened eyes, he wanted to eat himself.
Jinfeng looked at Yuanxin who was lying on the ground and said, "Send Yuanxin back to the camp."
"No," Cheng Zheng hurriedly stopped him.
Yuan Xin called him brother.
He felt so good that he wished he could chat with Yuan Xin for a while longer.
He said to Jin Feng, "Everyone else has gone to bed now.
He will go back and meet him."
If you disturb others, send them to my tent."
After Cheng Zheng said that, he left first.
He was afraid that if he stayed for a while, he would turn into an icicle.
The cold and wet clothes stuck to his body, and the sour feeling was beyond description.
Jinfeng placed the drunken Yuanxin on Cheng Zheng's bed.
Cheng Zheng had already changed his clothes, wrapped himself in a thick cotton coat and sneezed twice in succession.
Jinfeng said, "Please go down and make some ginger soup."
Cheng Zheng stopped him and said, "No, don't bother me in the middle of the night.
I'll just drink some hot water.
You can go back and rest early."
"Well, take care, young master, and I will resign."
Cheng Zheng went to the bed and covered Yuan Xin with a quilt.
He called him twice but he had no response.
He didn't know how much he drank.
Cheng Zheng sat next to him and looked at his rough face, with mixed feelings in his heart.
This is no longer the pampered second young master of the past.
There are many ways to force you to grow up, but I used the most cruel one.
Yuan Xin, you Suffered.
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Yuan Xin was awakened by the sound of training outside the tent.
He had a severe headache.
He covered his head with his hands and sat up with difficulty.
When he opened his eyes, he suddenly woke up.
Where is this tent?
The furnishing specifications in this tent should be mine.
How could this happen last night?
Yuan Xin tried hard to recall.
He felt sad when he heard that Li Meng died last night.
He went to steal some wine to drink.
He wouldn't have caught him.
Did I go crazy with alcohol?
I wouldn't fight him.
What should I do?
What should I do?
I'm going to fall into trouble this time.
Dead in his hands, he patted his cramped head and thought about it, how about sneaking out?
He tiptoed open the curtain and quickly retracted it.
Cheng Zheng was immersed in reading at the desk, seemingly waiting for me.

Yuan Xin hesitated to go out, but Cheng Zheng said loudly, "Come out when you wake up."
Yuan Xin bravely came out, knelt down in front of Cheng Zheng's desk, and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry to see you, Lord Marquis.
I know I've violated military regulations.
Lord Marquis, can you let me go first for convenience, and then punish you when you come back?"
Cheng Zheng waved his hand, "Go ahead."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Yuan Xin ran out as if he was running away, peed a lot, washed his face, wandered for a long time, and reluctantly returned to Cheng Zheng's tent.
As soon as he came in, his stomach felt Yuan Xin lowered his head in embarrassment as he began to grunt.
It was so embarrassing.
Cheng Zheng said, "I didn't get up until now.
The food is gone, so you should be hungry first."
"yes."
Cheng Zheng put down his book, walked up to him and asked him, "Do you remember what happened last night?"
"Remember something."
"What do you remember?"
Yuan Xin replied, "As a humble employee, I remember going to the granary to steal wine and get drunk.
After I'm drunk, I don't know anymore."
Cheng Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "That's enough.
You can count how many military regulations you have violated and how you should be punished."
"In a humble position, I indulge in drunkenness without permission, and I will be punished with thirty rods.
If I don't return to camp at night, I will be punished with thirty rods.
If I don't participate in drills without permission, I will be punished with forty rods."
Yuan Xin even thought that he was ashamed.
He had been punished by thirty soldiers a few days ago.
The stick still hurts.
"It's quite clear.
If you beat me with a hundred army sticks, how long do you think you will be unable to get out of bed?"
"If you make a mistake in a humble position, you should be punished.
I don't dare to complain."
Yuan Xin replied bravely, feeling regretful.
Why am I so stupid?
Why should I drink?
One hundred military sticks.
If the executioner had been more ruthless, I guess I I'm about to see the King of Hell.
Oh my god, who will save me?
At this time, Jin Feng came in with a pile of books and placed them on Cheng Zheng's desk.
Yuan Xin looked pitifully at him for help, and Jin Feng took a quick glance and went out.
Cheng Zheng took the book that Jin Feng had brought in and flipped through a few pages and said, "You are my brother after all.
I can't bear to cripple you.
How about we try another way?"
Yuan Xin didn't get what he asked for, "Master Marquis, please speak."
Cheng Zheng put down the book and went to Yuan Xin, "You called me brother yesterday, you know, why don't you call me brother from now on, and I will spare you a hundred military sticks."
Yuan Xin hesitated for a moment and said, "I was drunk yesterday and I was in a bad state.
Please forgive me, Mr.
Marquis."

Cheng Zheng knew that he would not agree, so he was not surprised.
He went back and sat down and said, "I have chosen ten military books for you.
I want you to read them thoroughly within one month.
After one month, I will ask you about the art of war.
If you If you can answer fluently, I won't blame you.
If you can't, your injury will be healed by then, and you will probably be able to bear a hundred military sticks."
Ten books in one month is really too difficult for a person who has never been exposed to the art of war.
Even though Yuanxin has an outstanding memory, he still feels a lot of pressure.
He can't understand or understand.
Yuanxin secretly complains, but for now, he can only agree.
Cheng Zheng added, "Same as before, you don't need to participate in military camp drills.
You can read in my tent every day and I will teach you personally."
Yuan Xin knew that following Cheng Zheng would bring no good results, so he made excuses, "It's just that the Marquis is busy with military affairs, and it's inconvenient to hold such a humble position here."
Cheng Zheng insisted, "If you concentrate, no one can affect you."
Yuan Xin further explained, "I am humbled because I am worried about the inconvenience to the Marquis."
Cheng Zheng retorted, "You don't have to worry about people and things that have nothing to do with you.
I can put down all military affairs and concentrate on teaching you.
If I can't put it down, I can also find a military advisor to teach you."
Yuan Xin could see that Cheng Zheng was fully prepared, so he couldn't refute, so he could only agree.
Cheng Zheng continued, "You said yesterday that you don't hate me.
Whether you admit it now or not, I take it seriously.
In this case, I think there is no need for us to be so alienated.
Why don't we each take a step back?
I won't force you to call me My brother, don’t talk about being a Marquis.
From now on, when there is no one else, you and I will be compatible, how about?"
Just as Yuan Xin was about to speak, Cheng Zheng continued without giving him a chance to refuse, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your promise."
Then Yuan Xin had nothing to say.
Cheng Zheng raised his lips slightly, feeling very proud that his plan had succeeded.
"Get up and sit down wherever you want.
You can start.
If you don't understand, just ask me and I will explain it to you."
Yuan Xin picked up the first book and opened the first page, only to realize how difficult this task was.
It was like reading from heaven.
He didn’t know where to start a sentence, and he didn’t know what it meant after reading a sentence.
He even didn’t recognize some words.
Xin closed his eyes and wished he could slap himself to death.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Zheng sat and waited for him to ask.
Yuan Xin whispered, "I regret that I shouldn't have gone drinking yesterday, so that I wouldn't have fallen into your hands."
Cheng Zheng said bluntly, "I have already planned to let you learn the art of war, but I never had the chance.
Even if you didn't go drinking yesterday, I would have forced you to learn it in other ways, so you don't have to regret it."
It turned out that they had dug a hole for me to jump into.
Yuanxin lowered his head to read helplessly, scratched his head and said in embarrassment, "If I ask you what this word means, will you hit me?"
Cheng Zheng was very relaxed and happy, "Don't worry, I won't beat you.
I'm waiting to beat you with a hundred military sticks in a month."

Yuan Xin lowered his head, despairing in his heart.
"The method of using military force is to drive thousands of chariots and leather chariots, carry armor for ten directions, and provide food for thousands of miles.
Then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the materials of glue and paint, and the support of chariots and armor, cost a thousand gold per day, and then ten The Master of Ten Thousands of People has been promoted."
Cheng Zheng spoke in perfect detail and recited the first paragraph word for word fluently.
Yuan Xin was dumbfounded and fell to the ground in admiration.
Cheng Zheng saw that he was silent and asked, "How can I teach you to be qualified?"
Yuan Xin nodded while maintaining an expression of surprise.
“Which word I don’t recognize and which sentence I don’t understand?”
“I don’t even understand” sjgsf0916:
