I'm so hard

Chapter 31
The next day, all the show girls left the palace.

Zhao Yan used Cao Ling'er, the daughter of Cao Guangshi, the prefect of Yongzhou, as an excuse, and told Queen Mother Zhang that none of these beautiful ladies moved him.

Empress Dowager Zhang had no choice but to look for Zhao Yan again.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the first lunar month.

According to the usual practice in previous years, the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty usually start to work after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, that is, to go to work normally.

But since the Northern Mongolian war book has been issued this year, there will inevitably be a big battle between the two sides at the end of March or early April, so the civil and military officials began to deal with government affairs on the sixth day of the first month.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, the [-] Shence Army and [-] Forbidden Army outside the city also began to practice. These [-] soldiers will go to the border with Zhao Yan in early March.

They are currently the most elite troops in Da Zhou.

The Forbidden Army and the Shence Army had the same origin, but because the Forbidden Army was mainly stationed in Changdan City, and the Shence Army was often stationed at the border, the two separated over time.

And there is a strange situation: they look down on each other.

The Forbidden Army felt that the Shence Army had a false name, and they were discouraged when they reached the border, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as them.

The Shence Army felt that the Imperial Army stayed in the imperial city all year, nothing happened, and they didn't understand the battlefield and the enemy at all.

Originally, Shen Tuyi and Shence coach Yang Hong had discussed that they should train in the same barracks, but the soldiers on both sides really didn't fight each other, so they had to train separately.

At the beginning of the new year, Zhao Yan didn't have many memorials, so he planned to go to the military camp outside the city for a visit.

This time, Zhao Yan chose to visit incognito, and the only people who knew about it were Shentuyi and Heiwa.

Only in this way can it be easier to find problems in the barracks.

Near noon, Zhao Yan, Shen Tuyi and Hei Wa arrived at the camp of the [-] Shence Army outside the city.

The main generals of the Shence Army basically knew Shen Tuyi, so with the help of Shen Tuyi, Zhao Yan and Hei Wa came to the barracks wearing a military uniform.

As for Shen Tuyi, he went to inspect other places alone.

At this moment, the soldiers have not yet fully entered the state of cultivation, and each of them is a little lazy, sorting tents, armor, weapons, etc. respectively.

Zhao Yan and Hei Wa were wearing the same military uniforms as them, walking within the same battalion area, there was no slight difference.

At this moment, in the place ahead where the cooking smoke was rising, someone shouted, "It's time to eat!"

Immediately, the soldiers surrounded them one after another, forming a long crooked line.

Zhao Yan said to Hei Wa, "Come on, let's have a taste of the food in the barracks."

Hei Wa licked his lips excitedly, as long as he talked about food, he would be satisfied.

Immediately, the two of them lined up in the queue.

There are 500 soldiers in the first battalion, and many of them are not familiar with them, so Zhao Yan and Hei Wa are not afraid of being exposed.

Years ago, Zhao Yan had specifically instructed the Minister of Finance, Kong Moshan, to increase military expenditures. The most important point of all was: every soldier must be well-fed and well-fed.

When Zhao Yan saw the high raised food in front of him, he couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

There are three staple foods: big steamed buns as high as a hill, steaming rice dumplings, and layers of fragrant pancakes.

There are four kinds of dishes, namely stewed pork with wax gourd, stir-fried water bamboo, braised fish in red, and spicy spicy dishes.

Although they are all big pots of rice, they are superior in terms of taste and nutrition, even far surpassing the meals of ordinary people in Dazhou.

Zhao Yan was very pleased. After all, this group of people were working hard for Da Zhou, so naturally they should be treated generously.

At this moment, a tall young man in the front suddenly dropped a large porcelain bowl on the ground, and the stewed pork ribs inside spilled all over the floor.

"Master, I don't want to eat these cheap pork, I want to eat mutton, mutton!" The tall young man said angrily to the cook.

boom!
While speaking, he also dropped a bowl of rice on the ground.

boom! boom! boom!
At this time, several soldiers behind also started booing and throwing bowls.

Rice, dishes, and steamed buns were all over the floor.

"We want mutton, we want mutton! We want mutton!"

From the fair faces of these soldiers, it can be seen that those who are yelling to eat mutton are a group of rich children.

The cook looked helpless, and he didn't dare to speak. It's not up to him to decide whether to cook mutton or not.

Zhao Yan's face turned livid involuntarily.

Just when he was about to stand up, a dark-faced young man in front of him came out.

"Can you be a soldier? If you can't be a soldier, go home. We are here to fight, not to eat!"

"Oh, what are you, you dare to scold the young master!" The young man who threw the bowl first walked up to the black-faced youth, pointed at his face and said.

"He is Cao Fei, the second son of Cao Wendian's family. Because he is not good at diction, he is not the same as us who came here to earn military merit." Someone said in a low voice.

"Boy, if you mess with someone you shouldn't, I'll make it impossible for you to see the sun for the rest of your life!" Cao Fei said with a glare.

Someone from the side came to Cao Fei and said, "Mr. Cao, don't be as knowledgeable as this kind of person. We won't eat at noon. Let's go to Cuixuelou to have a leisurely time in the evening. I've finished talking to Hong Dutou."

Hearing that he was going to Cuixue Tower, Cao Fei couldn't help being happy.

"Bah!" Cao Fei spat on the dark-faced young man's face, turned around and was about to leave.

The moment he turned his head, the black-faced youth suddenly kicked Cao Fei's ass.

"waste!"

This kick was so powerful that it kicked Cao Fei four or five meters away, and then fell heavily on the ground.

Cao Fei had a broken nose and his face was covered in blood.

"You...you dare to hit me, brothers, kill him!" Cao Fei shouted angrily, covering his nose.

Immediately, five or six white-faced youths surrounded the black-faced youth and attacked him.

boom! boom! boom!
When soldiers fight, they pay attention to one move to control the enemy, and the moves are ruthless.

That black-faced youth had obviously practiced before, and within a moment, he knocked all six white-faced youths to the ground.

As Hei Wa who had been specially trained by Shen Tuyi, she was amazed after seeing it, her eyes were full of admiration.

Zhao Yan's mood eased a lot. Although Dazhou has scum and moths, it also has brave men like black-faced youths.

At this moment, someone shouted: Hongdu head is here!

A burly man about 30 years old came in front of the crowd, looked at the several people lying on the ground, and said loudly: "I can't even feed you enough, whoever is involved in the fight, stand up for me!"

At this time, Cao Fei covered his nose and walked up to Hong Dutou, and said with aggrieved face: "Hongdutou, my brothers and I are having dinner, and that kid's mouth is dirty, relying on his own fists and kicks." , Knocked us all to the ground, you have to be the master for us!"

Hong Du headed up to the black-faced young man, and said coldly, "Did you beat these people?"

The black-faced youth nodded, with no fear on his face.

"Come here, arrest him and beat him with twenty army sticks, then confine him for three days!" Hong Du nodded.

At this moment, a low-pitched, but imposing voice came from the crowd.

"Hong Dutou, you indiscriminately impose punishments indiscriminately, something is wrong!"
