Chapter 773: Temptation, the ambitious prince
The Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince moved into the camp smoothly, but because Lin Chujiu invited them, Lin Chujiu naturally arranged where they will live.
“It’s already late today. Your Imperial Uncle won’t come back these two days. You stay in his tent first, and then find a place in the morning.” Lin Chujiu felt that it was safest to put people under her nose.
The Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince hurriedly refused: “Imperial Aunt, you can find a tent for us to spend a night together. How can you live in their Imperial Uncle’s tent?” They knew that their Imperial Uncle had a slight obsession with cleanliness. If he learned that they lived in his tent, who knows how he will torture them later?
“It’s nothing. This tent has been empty all the time. Your highnesses stay here for two nights first, and then I’ll let someone arrange accommodation for you.” This tent was said to be the commander’s camp, but because Xiao Tianyao didn’t go with the army, this tent has been empty all the time.
Moreover, Xiao Tianyao will not live in this tent even if he comes back. He can go directly to the capital.
The Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince could not refuse, so they had no choice but to agree. Once Lin Chujiu made arrangements, she slipped away because it was getting late, and left the two deputy generals to deal with the rest.
There were no palace maids or eunuchs in the army. The Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince knew that Prince Xiao didn’t like to use palace maids and eunuchs, nor bring anyone to serve him. After the soldiers brought water for them, the two noble princes had to wash.
The Eldest Prince had been in the army for many years before and had long been accustomed to his grooming. There was nothing wrong with him. The Seventh Prince grew up in the palace since he was born. He never went out and had always been served by the people around him. The Eldest Prince was worried that the Seventh Prince couldn’t do it, but he saw the Seventh Prince clean up himself properly, so he didn’t say anything.
His seventh younger brother was extraordinary and better than all their brothers. At the age of seven, they don’t have such ability.
After finishing cleaning up, the two princesses lay down on the bed, listened to the sound of footsteps coming from time to time outside the tent, and thought about what happened tonight. They didn’t fall asleep for a long time.
The two wanted to talk, but they were afraid that the walls would have ears, so they didn’t dare to talk at will. They could only close their eyes and count silently in their hearts, hoping to fall asleep early, but they didn’t fall asleep until dawn.
Life in the army was the same. Even though the Jinwuwei Army was tossed up in the middle of the night last night, they still have to get up and practice as usual later.
When the sun rises from the horizon and shines on the earth, the big drum in the barracks sounds, reminding everyone that it was time to get up.
The Jinwuwei Army has long been used to such a life. When the first drum sounded, they got up. When the third drum sounded, they lined up and ran along the mountain path.
There was so much noise outside that the Eldest prince and the Seventh prince were also woken up. The two who were seriously deprived of sleep, but although full of dissatisfaction, they didn’t dare say anything and forced themselves to get up.
“Brother, let’s go out and have a look.” The Seventh Prince looked a lot more energetic after washing.
As princes, they were not like as people imagine, waking up naturally, eating whatever they wanted, nor doing whatever they wanted. On the contrary, they have strict work and rest requirements and study requirements, and they suffer more than ordinary people.
Therefore, even though they seriously lack sleep, the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince recovered after a little adjustment.
They have long been used to this kind of life.
“Let’s go. I’m curious about how Imperial Uncle trains his soldiers.” He also leads the army to fight. His Imperial Uncle can make a legend, but they can’t. It can be seen that he must have a secret method. Now he has the opportunity to observe the Jinwuwei Army closely, he certainly won’t miss this.
Because they were walking in the army, the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince both changed their colorful brocade clothes and wore only a martial arts training suit. They looked relaxed and generous. When they came out, the soldiers who were guarding were stunned for a moment, and then came forward to salute them.
“Excuse me! I wonder if we can train with them?” The Eldest Prince raised his and asked politely while looking at the running of the Jinwuwei soldiers one by one.
If he wants to know how the Jinwuwei Army trains, he should first integrate with them. Maybe his action will arouse Lin Chujiu’s suspicion and Prince Xiao’s dissatisfaction, but it was rare to have close contact with the Jinwuwei Army, so he doesn’t want to miss it.
He believed that his seventh brother would not want to miss it too.
The Jinwuwei Guard bowed his head and said: “Wangfei said that the two princes are honorable. Except for dangerous things, they can do whatever they want.”
Yes, Lin Chujiu didn’t restrict the movement of the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince at all. She let them wander in the military camp.
Lin Chujiu’s idea was straightforward. Rather than fighting with these two princes, let them act by themselves. They were in the army, and their every move was under the supervision of the Jinwuwei Guards.
“Imperial Aunt is very kind. Since there is no problem, this prince and the seventh younger brother will walk around with the army. With so many people, we don’t have to worry about safety.” The Eldest Prince was not sure what Lin Chujiu meant for a while and didn’t dare to be careless because of Lin Chujiu’s words. After saying those words, he took the Seventh Prince with him and ran with the army.
Because of the large number of the Jinwuwei Army, although it was a mountain road, they moved not so fast. At least the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince were not tired, but… …
The speed was not fast, the road was up the mountain, and it was too long. When they ran halfway up the mountain, the Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince found that their legs seemed to be filled with lead, and each step was extremely heavy.
Especially the Seventh Prince, no matter how wise he was, his body was still of a child. Although he doesn’t lack exercise, he can’t run around the mountain like the army.
“Seventh younger brother, are you alright?” When the Eldest Prince saw that the Seventh Prince’s face was pale, he stopped quickly and pulled him aside.
“I can’t run, big brother.” In front of outsiders, the seventh prince never shows off.
He was still a child and has the right to act spoiled and lazy, not to mention that he was not lazy at all. He just can’t run anymore.
He was a wise man. A wise man will not force himself to do what he cannot do.
“I’ll carry you on my back.” Although the Eldest Prince was tired, it was not a problem to run for a while.
“No, no. Brother, you go ahead, don’t worry about me. There are Jinwuwei soldiers in front of and behind. There will be no danger.” The Seventh Prince sat on the ground with no image and waved to the Eldest Prince.
“No, I can’t leave you alone.” The Eldest Prince refused. The Seventh Prince was the apple of the eye of the Empress. If anything happens, he will die.
“Well, let’s have a rest and then walk slowly.” The Seventh Prince knew the Eldest Prince’s concerns, so he didn’t force it.
The two princes sat down to rest. The Jinwuwei soldiers ran past them one by one, but no one looked at them more. Each one of them was attentive and focused. The Eldest Prince saw it with his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He couldn’t help but say quietly in his heart: These are the Jinwuwei soldiers!
