My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 161 "Today I will teach you what it means to stand at attention!"

Jiang country.

Tokyo city.

Imperial Mandarin Duck Palace.

A figure with bare white feet sat on the canal bridge in the yard.

The figure had an extremely pretty face, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak, sparkling with mischievousness.

From time to time, the corners of her mouth would curl up in an unforgettable arc.

She is Princess Wencheng of Jiang State.

The younger sister of the current empress of Jiang State.

She was holding a box of fish food in her hand, and with a smile she stretched out her white fingers to grab a pinch of fish food and sprinkle it into the pond in front of her.

This caused the goldfish in the pond in front to rush to the surface of the water.

"Fish, fish, come up and eat."

The girl's voice was very sweet, like a bell.

From a distance, one could only see her two pairs of jade feet swaying in the gap between the wooden bridge and the water.

"whee."

See the fish swimming over.

The smile on the face of the quirky little girl revealed a hint of evil.

She held her breath and reached behind herself with her other hand.

The next moment, a net bag with bamboo poles was taken out from behind her.

"hey-hey!!"

The little girl's tinkling laughter was full of pride.

The net bag in his hand has already been dropped into the water.

A fish that has no time to escape is caught safely in the net.

"Ha ha!!"

The little girl laughed loudly, stretched out her hand and took the red fish.

The fish scales appear particularly bright red under the rippling sunlight.

She quickly stood up, holding up the fish in her hand: "I caught it!!"

As she got up and ran.

The soft little feet stepped on the ground, leaving a string of beautiful footprints and water stains.

Not long after.

The girl had already come to the center of the yard.

But before she raised her head, she had already noticed that the eunuchs around her were all kneeling on the ground respectfully, not daring to say a word.

"Sister is here?"

Seeing this scene, Princess Wencheng was stunned at first.

Then a look of joy appeared on his face.

She stretched out her lovely face and looked towards the depths of the yard with joy.

really.

A figure stood there upright.

That figure had a noble and arrogant demeanor, and it seemed that she had never let down the insurmountable wall around her.

She turned around and a smile appeared between her extremely heroic brows.

He looked towards Princess Wencheng and said, "You are still so naughty."

Her voice is soft.

Only Princess Wencheng could enjoy this soft sound.

She is the Queen of Jiang State, Gu Xiangnan.

Gu Xiangnan's fingers were slender and pale, as if not a drop of blood flowed in them.

Her eyebrows are long and black, and she has discarded the pearl flowers and tassels.

Three thousand strands of black hair were tied up with just a delicately carved plum hairpin, and lightly painted with makeup.

Her dark eyebrows are as charming as those of distant mountains, her temples are thickly dyed with the color of spring smoke, and she has an aura like the clouds and mist of Wushan.

"sister!"

Princess Wencheng hurried to Gu Xiangnan's side and handed the red fish to her:
"Sister, this is the red fish I caught! I'm giving it to you! I caught it with great difficulty!"

The empress continued to smile gently.

She was obviously about the same age as the girl in front of her.

But she looks like Princess Wencheng's elder.

"A fish cannot survive without water."

The empress took the red fish and first gently stroked Princess Wencheng's head.

Then he flicked his finger.

The struggling red fish is like a leaping object.

With a "plop", it was bounced back into the water.

Princess Wencheng twitched her lips:
"I didn't intend to keep it alive. I wanted to make it into dinner."

The empress was stunned, then said in silence:
"You think I am meddling in other people's business."

"But red fish is not a good dish."

"Sister, when will you take me to Wenyuan Pavilion? Haha, when I recited that poem last time, those old men were so shocked that their heads were stunned! So funny!!"

Princess Wencheng walked to the side of the empress, laughing.

She was half a head shorter than the empress.

"Your temper."

The empress just smiled helplessly.

She gently tapped Princess Wencheng's head and said:
"The literary background of our Jiang country is far behind that of the Northern Saint. Every one of the scholars in Wenyuan Pavilion is a treasure of our Jiang country. When did they become the objects of fun in your mouth?"

"Those teachers are polite and respectful every day, but a random poem can shock them. Isn't it interesting?"

Princess Wencheng stuck out her tongue, her clever eyes turned around twice, and then she said with anticipation:

"Sister, are you looking for me this time to take me out?"

"I just came to see you."

The empress glanced at her and said, "If you don't like it, I'll leave now."

"I like it! I'm so happy that my sister can come to Wencheng!"

"Xiao Zhuozi! Xiao Dengzi, quickly go to my room and bring out all those fun things!"

Princess Wencheng clapped her hands with joy. She grabbed the empress's skirt and said:
"Since you are here this time, just stay here for a while."

The empress couldn't help but nod lovingly: "I have finished my official duties. I came here to play with you until night before going back."

“Sister is so nice!”

Princess Wencheng smiled and leaned her head on the empress's shoulder.

But when she leaned her head forward, her brows suddenly frowned.

Then he raised his head suddenly and sniffed slightly with his strong nose.

"Why does it smell like medicine? Sister, are you hurt?!"

Her nose is pointed and tight.

The empress quickly pushed him away, with a natural smile on her face:

"I just felt a little tired from handling official business the day before yesterday, so I took a medicinal bath."

"No, no, it doesn't just taste like medicine."

Princess Wencheng was not so easily fooled.

She sniffed a few more times, her eyes fixed on the empress's heart:
“And the smell of blood.”

As she spoke, Princess Wencheng stretched out her tender little hands and tried to lift up the empress's clothes.

"He must be injured!"

"Hi~"

This action frightened all the eunuchs and palace maids in the yard so much that they all knelt on the ground.

He didn't even dare to raise his head.

"It's nothing."

The empress grabbed Princess Wencheng's hand.

"What the hell is going on?"

Princess Wencheng felt so aggrieved that she almost cried.

Her round eyes were already filled with moisture.

The empress could no longer maintain the smile on her face.

She said expressionlessly, "He is just a blind thief."

"Your Majesty, a spy has come to report."

A barely perceptible voice appeared in the empress's ears.

Only the Empress could hear this voice.

This is the secret transmission that only great practitioners can do.

"Just send it over here."

The corners of the empress's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

Soon, a man in black came in from outside the yard.

After respectfully placing a secret letter on the table in front of the empress, he walked out.

"What thief?" Princess Wencheng sobbed, "Since my sister took the throne, she has lived in fear all day long..."

"Ah Zi would rather my sister not be His Majesty..."

"shut up!"

The empress frowned and looked at Princess Wencheng. Then she felt that her voice was a little too heavy and sighed deeply:

"If we become emperors, we still have a chance to survive. If we don't, we will die without even a bone left! Never mention this again!"

Princess Wencheng pursed her lips, feeling extremely aggrieved.

But she didn't dare to say anything that would be considered as treasonous by outsiders.

"Click."

The empress opened the secret letter on the table.

When her eyes noticed the three words "Yuanyang Army".

His brows began to furrow tightly.

When she looked at the exaggerated damage ratio on the secret letter, her breathing stagnated.

She murmured in disbelief:
"Illusionary Imperial Examination." "Great achievements."

"The Mandarin Duck Army Formation."

"Northern Territory."

"Battle damage ratio..."

Say each noun.

Her eyes were almost unfocused.

After a long while, her almond-shaped lips finally squeezed out three words:
"Zeng Anmin..."

"Zeng Anmin?" Princess Wencheng raised her head abruptly when she heard this, her eyebrows raised:

"Is he the Zeng Anmin who suppressed me so much with his poem "Ode to the Two Rivers" that I couldn't even lift my head?!"

Obviously, she was deeply impressed by the name.

"hateful!"

Princess Wencheng's nose wrinkled with anger:

"After the "Two Rivers Fu" was introduced to Jiang State, the teacher of Wenyuan Pavilion came here to disturb us all day long, but..."

At this point Princess Wencheng said with a sad face:

"I'm bored as hell without them bothering me."

The bare little feet dug into the sand on the ground with resentment.

The empress no longer cared about Princess Wencheng's self-pity.

She now felt a chill down her spine.

Mandarin Duck Army Formation.

Can you really fight against the monsters in the mountains with such great power...

She knows the secret agents she trained best.

There is absolutely no possibility of fraud.

No!

The Dajiang Kingdom would definitely not be unfamiliar with such a military formation!
To know.

The resources in the Wan Yao Mountains are extremely rich!
Rumor has it that there are even relics left behind by ancient gods in Wan Yao Mountain!
If any of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains were conquered by the Great Sage Dynasty, it would mean that Jiang State would only fall further and further behind!
"Zeng Anmin..."

The empress pursed her lips.

Gotta get him!
correct!

Bei seems to know Zeng Anmin? !
Even if we can't get such talent, we can always cooperate, right? !
The empress's eyes suddenly lit up.

She stood up without hesitation:

"Set off and return to the palace!"

"Yes."

……

"Hey?? Sister?! Didn't we agree to stay today?!!"

Looking at the empress's anxiously disappearing back.

Wencheng's big eyes revealed even greater confusion.

"another day!"

After these two words were heard from the empress's back, she disappeared into the yard.

…………

Jiang State, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

Empress Gu Xiangnan sat alone on the chair.

She stared at the scroll in her hand that looked like a handkerchief.

I took a deep breath and wrote:
[Nan: Is Bei there? I have something to ask you.]

…………

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

Zeng Anmin stood behind Duke Tian Ji of Wei.

He stared blankly at the nearly 10,000 soldiers performing martial arts below the stage.

"You mean, let me train the army??!"

Zeng Anmin scratched his ears to make sure he had not heard wrongly.

Tian Ji was wearing armor at this time.

His sturdy body made the armor look extremely dazzling.

He held the hilt of the sword at his waist and turned slowly, his eyes solemn:

"The Mandarin Duck Army Formation was created by you, so how to train it is naturally most suitable for you."

"?"

Zeng Anmin felt helpless.

If this guy wants to skip work and slack off, just say so.

"You are a master of military formations!"

“A true master always has the heart of a student.”

Tian Ji's voice was long and he smiled gently, looking at Zeng Anmin and said:

"The more I understand the military formation, the more I feel my own insignificance and inadequacy. As the saying goes, I am your teacher and I let you train the military formation because I want to learn some knowledge from you."

have to.

People talk like this.

Zeng Anmin knew that it would be very unreasonable for him to refuse again.

"Is there any benefit?"

Zeng Anmin looked at Duke Tian Ji of Wei and said solemnly:
"There is a golden house in books. If I delay my studies because of military training, my father will probably punish me severely..."

Duke Tian Ji of Wei was slightly stunned.

Then he burst into laughter and stared at Zeng Anmin seriously for a long time.

Then he reached out and patted his shoulder:

"Don't worry, once the Mandarin Duck Army Formation is well trained, I will lead the army south. If we return victorious, I will personally ask His Majesty for a title for you!"

Please?!
Two words.

It made Zeng Anmin's heart tremble slightly.

Title!

Even if he is just a lowly county man.

You can also be on equal footing with those high-ranking officials in the court!

A picture even appeared in his mind.

I sat on the chair, looking at my father standing in front of me, and sighed:
"Dad, you still don't want to say good luck to me, Master Hou."

"hey-hey."

Zeng Anmin was amused by his own thoughts.

To be granted the title of Marquis!
This can be done!
"Since the Duke has such a heart, it would be the fault of Quan Fu if he still doesn't know what's good for him."

Zeng Anmin nodded seriously to Tian Ji.

Then he looked at the thousands of soldiers below the stage.

I couldn't help but feel a heroic feeling in my heart!

One of man's dreams.

Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies!

Who hasn’t fantasized about controlling 30,000 troops and taking down a city with a wave of the hand?
Then he kept a low profile and then became a king, a prince, a general or a minister. Is that a good thing?!

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

"It's just that I just arrived and I'm training this army of 10,000. It's rare that you trust me, Duke. Don't worry, I will never let you down!"

Zeng Anmin's hand naturally reached for Tian Ji's waistband.

"What are you doing?!"

Tian Ji was quick to act and grabbed Zeng Anmin's hand, looking at him warily.

"Didn't you ask me to train the army? If you don't give me the military token, I will use my head to train?"

Zeng Anmin blinked at Tian Ji innocently.

"Uh."

Tian Ji's mouth twitched, then he forced a smile and said, "You misunderstood. The army you want to train is not here."

"Where is that?"

Zeng Anmin's face turned blank.

…………

"Meet Coach Zeng!"

A loud cry startled countless flying birds.

Zeng Anmin was speechless after hearing this.

In front of him, there were about two hundred soldiers.

The most outrageous thing is that these soldiers can't even put their armor in order.

Some are even half armor.

"My Lord, you are kidding me, aren't you? You asked me to train the troops, but you only gave me the old, weak, sick and disabled?"

Zeng Anmin's nose was crooked from anger.

He pointed at those "soldiers" and looked at Tian Ji without hiding anything.

"Cough cough."

Tian Ji looked around, then leaned over to Zeng Anmin and whispered:

"This is what your majesty meant. Your majesty only wants 5,000 mandarin duck soldiers. If you can train them in the most economical way, all the money saved will belong to you."

"Oh?"

Zeng Anmin stood up straight, his eyes became calm:

"Then again, what is the meaning of training the army?"

"The way to train an army is to turn waste into treasure and to conserve energy and build up strength!"

"When ten children can exert the momentum of thousands of troops, that will be the time to become the commander of the three armies!"

Zeng Anmin waved his hand and said, "Someone, bring me a chair! Today I will teach you how to stand at attention!"
