Chapter 1748 Little Thoughts
The next day, the fifth watch drum was beating, and the entire Fengqiao camp started to move like a sleeping giant awakening.
"What's the noise? It's so noisy so early in the morning. Do you still have a sense of public morality?!"
In the tent, uncle Zhu Shouren was having a sweet dream when he was suddenly disturbed by the sound of drums outside. , woke up by the sound of horns, and he couldn't help but cursed before he realized where he was.
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang in the clinic were also woken up, but they reacted immediately. They quickly stopped Zhu Shouren, "Brother Zhu, be silent. This is the military drum. It's already the fifth update." It’s time. All the soldiers in the camp are getting up. Let’s get up too.”
"Oh, I almost forgot, I thought some of my colleagues in Hualou were having a great time." Uncle Zhu Shouren shook his head and complained.
Soon, Hu Wei and Xia Qiang got up. They still remembered what Zhu Pingan said last night, asking them to get up after the fifth watch drum and practice together or read in the morning to prepare for the exam. Coming.
However, uncle Zhu Shouren had no intention of getting up at all. When Hu Wei and Xia Qiang got up, he stretched out his hand to pull up the quilt and covered his head, trying to isolate the sound from outside and sleep again. Go back to sleep.
“Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, didn’t your wise nephew last night tell us to get up after the fifth watch drum sounds to follow the drill or read in the morning to prepare for the exam?”
Xia Qiang He reminded uncle Zhu Shouren while urging him to get up.
Uncle Zhu Shouren pulled the quilt hard and said plausibly, "I am studying in the morning to prepare for the exam."
"Reading in the bed to prepare for the exam in the morning?" Xia Qiang opened his mouth.
"Of course, if you don't believe it, listen, I am endorsing it, and Zi said on the river: The deceased is like a man. He does not give up day and night."
Uncle Zhu Shouren's voice came from under the quilt. come out.
“Alas, Brother Zhu”
Xia Qiang wanted to pull Zhu Shouren's quilt again, but Hu Wei stopped him and gave Xia Qiang a wink.
After Hu Wei stopped Xia Qiang, he said to Zhu Shouren in the bed, "Since Brother Zhu didn't sleep well, let's sleep for a while. If Mr. Zhu asks, we will say that you are in the account I’m studying in the morning to prepare for the exam.”
“ "Good!"
Uncle Zhu Shouren was very satisfied with this. The weather was too cold and the quilt was too warm, so it was just right to sleep under the quilt. This is the camp of the wise nephew, which is also the camp of the Zhu family. Rounding it off, it is It’s your own camp, so why bother yourself?
After Xia Qiang and Hu Wei walked out of the camp, Xia Qiang asked Hu Wei in a low voice with a puzzled look on his face, "Brother Hu, why didn't you let me wake up Brother Zhu? Master Zhu just explained it last night. We got up after the fifth watch drum. If Mr. Zhu sees us getting up but doesn’t see Brother Zhu, how should we answer?”
"Brother Xia, you are stupid. You and I don't know who Zhu is. Even if we pull him up, can he follow the drills or study in the morning to prepare for the exam? Besides, Mr. Zhu The positions at hand are limited, and The person named Zhu is Mr. Zhu’s uncle, so he already has an advantage over us. If he wants to sleep with us, he can just sleep with us. It just reduces one competitor, so why not?”
Hu Wei pulled Xia Qiang over. He went to the corner and whispered softly.
"Isn't this good?" Xia Qiang was obviously moved, but still hesitant.
"This is also for Lord Zhu's good. What kind of thing named Zhu? If he steals a high position next to Lord Zhu, his virtue is not worthy of the position, and he is not worthy of the position even if he can. It will only hinder Lord Zhu. We are different."
Hu Wei further persuaded.
"Well, what Brother Hu said makes sense. A scholar will die for his confidant. We are doing this for Master Zhu's sake."
Xia Qiang nodded vigorously.
The two of them walked to Zhu Ping'an's handsome tent together. The guard on duty at the door told them that Mr. Zhu had already gotten up and went to drill with the soldiers. The two of them asked about the training location and hurried to the school field.
"Mr. Hu and Mr. Xia are up, where is the uncle?" Zhu Pingan was running with the soldiers on the school field. He saw the two people looking around at the entrance of the school field, so he ran forward and said hello to them. , asked.
"Ahem, sir, let me read in the morning in the tent to prepare for the exam." Hu Wei coughed and replied without confidence.
Zhu Ping'an immediately understood what was going on, smiled slightly, and said to the two of them, "Okay, since uncle is willing to read in the tent in the morning, then let's read in the tent in the morning. The two of you are on the school grounds. Should I find a place to read in the morning, or should I go for a run with my boss to exercise first and then do my morning reading and homework?”< br>
“We are willing to run with the adults. As for the morning homework, as I said last night, it is not too late to do the homework in the evening when we have a problem. After running, we are willing to share some military affairs with the adults and follow the example of a dog and a horse. "Thank you."
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang replied with excitement.
Zhu Pingan was not surprised by their choice. He nodded slightly and motioned for them to keep running.
After running a hundred meters, fortunately, the two of them could keep up. After running two hundred meters, the two of them were already out of breath. When they ran to four hundred meters, the two of them were exhausted. They could no longer keep up. As for the seven hundred meters, the two of them could no longer run.
"Gentlemen, you don't have to force yourself. Please rest aside. When I finish running, I will take you two back to the commander's tent to arrange matters." Zhu Pingan said to the two of them.
"My lord is laughing."
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang could no longer hold on any longer. After hearing Zhu Ping'an's words, they collapsed on the ground.
Zhu Pingan went for a run by himself.
"Brother Hu, Lord Zhu is a fourth-grade officer and the commander of an army, why do you still practice running with these big soldiers? Isn't this self-deprecating? As the commander of an army, can't he strategize? Is that enough? ”
Xia Qiang collapsed on the ground, avoiding the training soldiers, covering his mouth with his hands and whispering to Hu Wei.
"Eating and training together, this should be one of Zhu's methods to win over the soldiers." Hu Wei looked at Zhu Pingan running with the soldiers in the school field, thought for a moment, and also covered his mouth with his hands and lowered his voice. The voice replied.
“Oh, I remembered. All the famous generals in ancient times were like this. They ate and lived with the soldiers, and even sucked the abscesses of the soldiers to win the hearts of the soldiers. It turns out that Master Zhu is really good at this. No wonder You can hold such a high position at such a young age."
Xia Qiang sighed, suddenly realizing it, and then couldn't help but sigh, and he was a little more in awe of Zhu Ping'an.
"Shh, we just need to know what's going on in our hearts. The officials above are not just generals who have made thousands of bones withered. We don't want to be like those stupid big-headed soldiers who were deceived by their appearances and died for them. That's fine. We're here to find a way to advance, not to die." Hu Wei said in a low voice, covering his mouth.
"That's right, Brother Hu is right. When we have an official position, we will find an opportunity to get away. Mr. Zhu has offended Mr. Yan Ge. He will not last long in the future. He is not a person worth following." Xia Qiang said with all his strength. He nodded and whispered.
"Shh, as long as you and I are aware of this." Hu Wei put his finger to his lips, shushed repeatedly, then winked and patted his heart.
Xia Qiang patted his heart and nodded vigorously. (End of this chapter)
