My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Why don't you take the delegations from both countries on a tour for now?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the several commanders and said with a smile, "By the way, there's no need to hide it!"

Ok?

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Jiang Jingcheng froze, his face twitching.

Why don't we need to hide it?

Isn't this tantamount to deliberately exposing the Jiang family's secrets?

Li Bingzhang's expression also changed; when he looked at Jiang Xiaobai, his brows furrowed tightly.

The delegations from Beiyu and Qi were astonished upon hearing these words.

Helian Zhaoyue, in particular, was stunned, her originally indifferent expression turning somewhat blank.

Jiang Xiaobai... is he really that generous?

"noob!"

Li Bingzhang couldn't help but speak up, wanting to remind Jiang Xiaobai of something.

But when Jiang Xiaobai turned to look at Li Bingzhang, he still had a smile on his face, showing no sign of changing his mind.

Li Bingzhang opened his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh softly and say nothing more.

Jiang Jingcheng's brows were also furrowed deeply.

Although he couldn't figure out what Jiang Xiaobai was up to, after the previous incidents, he knew that his youngest son wouldn't do anything without being sure of success.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Jingcheng finally waved to the few commanders who stepped forward.

The officers exchanged glances, their faces clearly showing hesitation. Finally, one of them stepped forward and said, "In that case, please, members of both countries' delegations, follow us!"

After he finished speaking, several commanders turned around and led the way.

The delegations from Beiyu and Qi naturally did not refuse and followed along out of curiosity.

As Jiang Xiaobai was about to follow, he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Xinnian, saying, "Xinnian, go and get ready!"

"Just leave everything at the training ground!"

That's right, the training ground is large enough and the surrounding area is very open.

Only there can the true power of cannons be demonstrated.

"yes!"

Zhang Xinnian responded excitedly and turned to run out.

But he had only taken two steps when Jiang Jingcheng stopped him from behind: "Wait, what did the young master ask you to prepare?"

"That cannon that used to be parked in your yard!"

After giving a casual reply, Zhang Xinnian ran out impatiently without waiting for Jiang Jingcheng to ask any further questions.

"Ah, a cannon?"

Jiang Jingcheng stood there, his brows furrowing once more.

What are you preparing that thing for?

Could it be that Jiang Xiaobai intends to serve tea to the delegations from Beiyu and Qi?

Listening to the father and son's conversation, Li Bingzhang was somewhat puzzled and asked, "What... is this cannon for?"

"Hey, the one making tea!"

Jiang Jingcheng snapped out of his daze, raised his hand to gesture, and said, "It's quite big. The outside is iron, and the inside is all dark, so you can't really see anything clearly."

"I instructed my servants to brew a few batches with it before, but... the taste was weird, definitely not very good!"

"Yeah?"

Li Bingzhang looked surprised upon hearing this: "Then I'd like to try it later!"

"Try it if you want!"

Jiang Jingcheng casually replied, too lazy to mention the big iron cylinder again, and followed the others forward.

In the following time, led by several commanders, the delegations from both countries began to inspect the military camp.

The first place we went to was a weight-bearing field.

The soldiers here were all clad in armor and carried sandbags on their shoulders, running continuously in the training ground.

Ahead stood a wooden wall, a moat, and logs.

The soldiers had to don armor, scale walls, and cross ditches, and finally drag logs to continue their journey.

After this trip, there was hardly any time to rest before they had to regroup.

Sweat streamed down the faces of the soldiers, but not a single one uttered a complaint.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the two delegations became noticeably serious.

The people of Beiyu, in particular, who have been fighting for many years, can naturally see the benefits of this kind of weight training.

As long as one can persevere, the physical strength of a soldier who can run a long distance in armor on the battlefield will far exceed that of an ordinary soldier.

After leaving the weight-bearing field, the group arrived at the array training area.

"Form ranks!"

With a furious shout, the shield-bearing soldiers in the front row simultaneously dropped their shields, instantly forming a shield wall.

The spears in the rear row thrust out from between the shields, their movements precise and swift.

Immediately afterwards, the crossbowmen behind them split into three rows.

After the first volley of arrows was fired, the second volley stepped back to reload, and the third volley followed closely behind. The arrows came one after another without any pause.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

A row of straw targets exploded one after another in the distance, making the delegations from both countries look even more solemn.

Then, the group looked at the mechanisms of the crossbowmen and the armor worn by the soldiers.

For a regular crossbow, you step on the crossbow body with your feet and pull the string with both hands.

Heavier crossbows, on the other hand, require a winch to wind the bowstring.

The copper teeth inside the crossbow mesh together, and when pulled, the bolt flies out instantly.

As for the armor worn by the soldiers, each plate overlapped the others, with the shoulder, neck, and chest areas being noticeably thicker.

After walking around the circle, the initial ease on Helian Mingchuan's face was gone.

Although Helian Zhaoyue did not speak, her grip on the hilt of her sword tightened slightly as she looked at the Jiang family soldiers who were still running with heavy loads.

No wonder the Jiang family soldiers were so brave in the northern border.

I never imagined... even the daily training was this rigorous!!

Especially with the coordination between shield and spear, and the crossbowmen taking turns to advance, if they were to actually clash head-on on the battlefield, it would be quite difficult to break through their formation.

As Li Bingzhang walked, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Is it really okay to expose all these things in General Jiang Xiaobai's camp to the delegations of the two countries?

Thinking of this, Li Bingzhang turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xiaobai.

When Li Bingzhang saw that Jiang Xiaobai still had a smile on his face and even had the mood to speak quietly with Li Zhiwei, he seemed to be deep in thought.

Could it be that the real problem... lies with that cannon?

But it wouldn't make sense if the cannon was only used for brewing tea!

Li Bingzhang frowned and thought for a long time, still feeling that something was not quite right.

Soon, the group of people walked out of the weapons section.

"hehe!"

Helian Zhaoyue then looked at Jiang Xiaobai and sneered, "I didn't expect Young Master Jiang to be so generous, actually willing to show us so many places!"

"It's nothing!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Given our relationship of sharing a bed, it's only right that we be generous!"

Helian Zhaoyue's smile vanished instantly, and she said coldly, "So where to next? Shouldn't we go to the martial arts arena?"

"That's clever!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Helian Zhaoyue with a face full of surprise.

"snort!"

Helian Zhaoyue sneered again, "Next, all we'll do is have your Jiang family's soldiers intimidate us on the training ground!"

"But let me tell you, this time, you're going to be disappointed!"

Whether you're disappointed or not, you'll know when the time comes!

Jiang Xiaobai didn't explain, but chuckled and said, "Let's go to the training ground and show the delegations from both countries the surprise I've prepared for them!"

After he finished speaking, the commander continued to lead the way, and everyone walked together toward the training ground.

When everyone arrived outside the training ground, Zhang Xinnian quickly came to greet them.

"Hey, Your Highness!"

Zhang Xinnian chuckled twice at Jiang Xiaobai, suppressing his excitement.

"Everything is ready!!"
