In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

Chen Shan's suggestion to Nan Tu Rou was once again relayed back by Nan Tu Rou.

With no other choice, Nan Tu Rou couldn't think of a better solution.

The Southern King never attended court, and neither did she.

Most of what they knew about court affairs was hearsay; they knew very little.

Judging from the Xiao family army alone, it's clear that those people are not easy to deal with.

The Southern King does indeed need help, a reliable and well-known advisor, so that he won't be left isolated and helpless in the court.

at that time.

The capital city, the Southern Tu Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness, the Princess has sent a letter."

Inside the mansion, the Southern Slaughter King, dressed in a python robe, looked majestic and imposing, but in reality, his face showed signs of fatigue.

To prevent his generals from getting into trouble and to protect the royal palace, he chose to hand them over, at the cost of falling into the trap set by the civil officials.

He was left in the imperial court.

After attending court for several days, he felt utterly exhausted, finding it even more troublesome than marching and fighting.

"It seems she asked someone else again."

The King of the Southern Slaughter sighed, took the letter, and was immediately stunned.

Then he laughed again.

"An interesting lad. It's not easy for him to get Rou'er to listen to his advice."

"However... even if I were to overturn the verdict, it would be quite difficult, after all, that matter..."

King Nan Tu sighed, gazing into the distance as if reminiscing, or perhaps feeling a sense of shared sorrow.

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister has sent word through someone that he wants to borrow some of the Black Owls from the Prince's residence."

Hearing the steward's words, Nan Tu Wang also came to his senses.

"Black Owl? What does he need this for?"

"This old servant does not know, but I have heard in previous years that this prime minister often mobilizes the city's defense troops and even gathers heroes from the martial arts world, all in order to find someone."

"As for who it is, I don't know."

The Southern King was somewhat surprised that he didn't offer a single challenge.

He never cared about court affairs, let alone what these civil officials were up to.

Therefore, this was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.

"This old man, he's so old and still can't settle down. Let's send a few people to him, and I'd also like to see what he's up to."

Now that he's in the imperial court, the Southern King is no longer in control of his own destiny.

We still need to make contact with those who need to be contacted, and we still need to understand those who need to be understood.

We can't be completely clueless.

The steward turned and left, and the Southern King sighed, "What a pity, that kid has too many wives."

The capital city appeared calm and peaceful, with its people living in contentment, but in reality, it was rife with intrigue and turmoil.

In contrast, the border region presents a completely different picture.

The Deficit Camp and the Wind Camp returned to the North.

They returned to Inkpool City.

Although it took a lot of time to go back and forth, the results were still quite good.

Chen Shan also became a captain, which is considered a mid-level position in the army.

If you want to continue improving, it won't be difficult.

Deficit Camp.

Although Chen Shan was promoted to captain, he had no intention of establishing a new battalion.

Firstly, there were no suitable candidates, and secondly, the deficit camp had been operating for so long and was entirely composed of Chen Shan's core team; it would be too much trouble to send someone else to train them.

That would be quite troublesome.

Chen Shan needed military merits and an army that could play a role on the battlefield, so he didn't have the extra time to train.

Barracks.

"My lord, now that you've become a captain, won't the number of men in the Red Army increase significantly?"

"With so many people, I'm afraid we won't be able to take care of them all."

Liu Ruyu was curious, and during the time she followed along, she gradually became familiar with some of the affairs of the army, transforming herself from a village woman.

They also knew that Chen Shan was cultivating his team.

In the past, when there were fewer people, we could use military pay to reward them, but now that we've grown stronger, we don't have as much energy and resources to take care of them.

"That's natural, but we don't need to take care of them. They're all soldiers, each relying on their own abilities."

"You can't expect me to support them."

Chen Shan didn't seem to have any particular thoughts on this.

Although it's called cultivating a team, it's actually more appropriate to describe it as establishing prestige.

Therefore, even though the deficit battalion expanded, those who could join were all there because of Chen Shan's reputation.

Whether it's management or training, it won't be too troublesome.

Since returning to Inkpool City, the Red Badger Camp has increased from two thousand to five thousand men!

"There seems to be no war going on in the Xia Kingdom right now, so you can take a good rest for a while."

Xiao Ningning said.

After all, no one can predict the outcome of a war.

However, no sooner had Xiao Ningning uttered these words than a messenger arrived at the Deficit Camp.

"By order of the General, all generals and captains of the various legions shall be present."

After delivering the message, the messenger left the camp without the slightest delay and quickly relayed General Kong Qingzhi's order to all the legions.

"With all ranks of captain and above being summoned, what is this sycophant Kong up to now?"

"Could it be that war has broken out?"

Chen Shan was somewhat curious.

Although they had been away from Mochi City for several months, they had not heard of any problems at the border.

The last time the Qing Dynasty suffered a defeat, the Sirius King did not make a comeback.

Chen Shan really couldn't think of anything.

The only thing I can think of is that Kong Qingzhi is about to start causing trouble.

"There's no point in overthinking. We're just subordinates now; we should just listen to what our superiors say."

Xiao Zhen remained calm, taking everything, whether it was war or Kong Qingzhi causing trouble, to heart.

After all, he was a veteran of the military and had seen far more than Chen Shan.

"Yeah, if this simp keeps courting death, I wouldn't mind sending him on his way."

Chen Shan never hid his hostility towards Kong Qingzhi, and he would not hesitate to kill her.

At that time, the headquarters of the Tiannan Army.

As the generals, captains and other officers of various legions arrived, Kong Qingzhi's gaze swept over Nan Tu Rou, his eyes filled with mockery.

When he looked at Chen Shan again, a coldness crept into his seemingly refined and easygoing demeanor.

He still harbored resentment over the fact that Chen Shan had humiliated him time and time again.

He just didn't expect that Chen Shan, who went with him to quell the rebellion, would not only survive on the battlefield but also earn him merit.

This made Kong Qingzhi very unhappy.

However, some superficial work still needs to be done.

"I heard that General Nan Tu quelled the rebellion swiftly and made great contributions. This is truly commendable."

"Chen Qianhu has also been promoted to captain. It seems that the overall strength of the Tiannan Army is stronger. The Chizi Battalion is indeed worthy of the name 'elite'."

When Kong Qingzhi spoke, his tone was full of praise.

He exuded the air of a general.

However, Chen Shan never gave him a kind look.

"General, you flatter me. I, a captain, also earned my position through real battles, as did the Red Badge Battalion."

"After all, we're not some overgrown babies who need help with everything."

Upon hearing Chen Shan's words, Kong Qingzhi's face instantly turned cold.

He came from a family of Confucian scholars and understood Chen Shan's sarcastic remarks, which made him even angrier.

But with so many people in front of him, he couldn't just lose his temper.
