Late Tang

(A large chapter of nearly [-] words, I am too lazy to score it, and here is the big chapter. After reading it, brothers, please like it by the way!)

In Dengzhou, outside a valley that looked ordinary from the outside, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes.A troop of cavalry in camouflage training uniforms was galloping forward, and in the middle of this cavalry troop was a ten-year-old young cavalry closely following them.

There is no road at all outside the valley, and there are no people within a radius of more than ten miles. Such a scene is rare in Dengzhou today.Even in the mountains of southern Dengzhou, this is rare.Dengzhou's developed economy has enabled Dengzhou to be developed a long time ago, and mining areas and orchards have been built in the mountainous areas.

But this valley is very abnormal. It still retains the desolate scene of the past, as if it has not changed at all.The rugged mountain road could not hinder the advance of the cavalry at all.

They kept running at a very fast speed all the way to Taniguchi before making a beautiful emergency stop.All the horses neighed and stood up, and then stopped at the mouth of the valley.

The little knight in the middle of the cavalry was good at riding. Such a difficult movement was actually done smoothly. Although the completion was not smooth enough, the cavalry beside him couldn't help applauding in their hearts.

The cavalry rolled their saddles off their horses one after another, and the little knight also jumped off his horse neatly.This little knight is only about ten years old, and his height is nearly five feet.Sheng has delicate features, a head of jet-black hair curled into two horns on his head, his skin is very fair and delicate like a girl.One can tell at a glance that this must be a child of a great family who has never touched the spring water since childhood and has never been exposed to wind and sun.Especially in those dark pupils, revealing the unique temperament of the children of the aristocratic family.

But in addition to that extravagance, the boy's eyes still showed some anticipation and curiosity at this time.The sea voyage, rail carriage, and horse gallop along the way did not make him feel daunted and tired, but filled him with novelty.This is much better than staying in a glorious and beautiful place with restrictions everywhere in the past ten years.

He took a long breath, kicked his deerskin boots vigorously, and untied the gold-woven cloak on his body a little bit, so as to dissipate the heat brought by riding a horse.

At this time, there was a person standing at the entrance of the valley.

There is only one person, but when he stands there, he is like a thousand troops, full of the aura of who can give me nothing.With him, no one can surpass him.

This is a man with a ferocious scar across his face, or it is more appropriate to call it a giant tower.

In the icy mountain wind, he actually had the upper hand, revealing his bulging muscles, his dark and muscular upper body, and many shocking scars.There were knife wounds, arrow wounds, and even some wounds that seemed to have been extremely serious, and they were wounds piercing the chest and belly.The boy looked at the giant man with scars all over in surprise, not knowing how he survived.Just these scars, and his giant height of almost eight feet, that aura is enough to make people full of fear.

The giant man was like this with his upper body exposed, his hands behind his back, his feet evenly spaced, and shoulder-level.The little boy recognized this posture immediately. This is the most basic military posture in the army, and every soldier in the Qin Army has received the basic skills.The little boy had also received this kind of military posture training long ago, and when he saw this incomparably ordinary military posture, he felt a sense of intimacy for no reason.But unlike ordinary people standing in a military posture, this guy stood out with an extraordinarily domineering and tyrannical posture.

The giant man wore a pair of baggy camouflage trousers, and a pair of combat boots that covered the bottom of the trousers without putting on leggings.But what caught the little boy's attention the most was the giant man's hair, which was cut short and pointed upwards.This made him suddenly feel pity for no reason, why is this guy such a barbarian.In Qin Fan, now only Hu men, regardless of race, are forced to shave their hair.This made him slightly disappointed. In his heart, he still hoped that such a giant man who was as brave as a god belonged to a Han.

The captain of the cavalry team was a one-armed man. He led the boy a few steps away from the short-haired, shirtless giant, then stopped and said with a smile, "Old Scar, you are becoming more and more like a savage. I haven't seen you in a while. , His mother actually shaved her head too."

Lao Ba touched the full head, revealing a mouthful of incomparably brilliant gold teeth. This guy actually replaced all his teeth with gold teeth, which is too dazzling.

"Captain Zhao, you're late."

Zhao Jiang, who was Li Jing's personal valet, smiled, "I met a group of smuggling rats on the road, so I taught them a lesson, which wasted some time."

"Late is late, there is no reason." Lao Ba glanced at the boy, and said coldly, as if he was speaking to Zhao Jiang, but also to the boy.The boy was surprised. He knew Zhao Jiang's identity very well. Although his official position was not high, he was an old man who followed his father all the time.There are seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, not to mention the personal guards of the King of Qin? It can be seen that this guy doesn't give Zhao Jiang any face.He just looked at his pocket watch, they were only 1 minute late.If you don't care so much, it can't be called late at all.

The old scar turned his head and looked at the boy again, his eyes were like a real knife scraping, making the boy lower his head involuntarily, not daring to look at him.

"This is the Prince of Lanling, the eldest son of Prince Qin? Why does he look like a bitch? Has he received the special training?"

Zhao Jiang smiled and said, "This is Prince Dezhao, King of Lanling, but since he is here, he will be trained by you in the future. You must have heard what King Qin told you, as long as you enter the training camp, you don't care about the outside world." No matter what identity, there is only one identity in it, and that is the student. How to train is your problem."

Old Scar snorted displeasedly, "Of course I know this, no matter who comes, as long as they enter this valley, we will treat them equally."

"That's good. I hope you don't have any worries. King Qin's determination is great. If you are timid and fail to complete the task, you will not be able to bear the consequences."

Old Scar became a little annoyed, "Then don't be silly and let him go with me."

Zhao Jiang patted Li Dezhao on the shoulder, squatted down in front of him, and squeezed a smile on his resolute face, "Go, follow Instructor Qin. Remember, after entering this valley, in it, no matter what the instructor tells you to do , you have to do it right away. Besides, I hope you can stay there for a full year, and then smoothly transfer to the next camp, instead of being expelled and eliminated."

Although Li Dezhao was a little confused, he still nodded.

"King Qin has another sentence for me to tell you at the end. If you feel that you can't take it anymore, you can ask to withdraw from the training at any time. At that time, the training camp will send you back to Beijing immediately. However, once you quit the training camp, it means You have lost the qualification to be the successor of King Qin. You only have one chance, remember it!"

These words are very heavy, even though Li Dezhao is only ten years old, he clearly knows what heir means.In the past few years, he has heard this word mentioned by his mother, grandfather and uncle countless times.He knew what that meant.

Li Dezhao seemed to be a very quiet kid, but as Li Jing's son, and his grandfather was such a powerful man as Wang Pu, how could he really be powerless.In fact, at only ten years old, he is already proficient in riding, archery and sword fighting.However, it is obvious that in Li Jing's eyes, this child is still too weak and needs to be honed more.

A moment later, after getting a note from Lao Ba, Zhao Jiang rode away with his guards.Li Dezhao followed Lao Ba and walked into the valley.Lao Ba's body was full of pressure like a mountain in front of him. Li Dezhao walked silently along the way. Before coming, his mother had already told him in tears that no matter what, he had to persevere and do his best.This time, he joined the first phase of the training camp with seventeen other brothers, including two younger brothers from the same mother.But what surprised him was that they were sent to the camp separately.His mother's words don't ring in his ears, he must never give up, he must do his best.In Wang Wanjun's view, the training camp is extremely beneficial to Li Dezhao.Dezhao's writing has been appreciated by Li Jing, and what is needed now is Wu's side.

The sons of Wang Guiniang and Yu Youniang are still young, not yet old enough to participate in the training camp.Li Dezhao, just in time to show his skills, let Li Jing discover this Yun Wen Yun Wu who is the eldest son of a concubine.

The mountain road is rugged and narrow, and the valley mouth feels very short when you are outside.But when they really walked in it, they found that it was very long. They walked all the way for almost an hour, but it was still the same desolate mountain.

Just when Li Dezhao thought he would have to walk for a long time, he suddenly saw a clean mountain wall suddenly appearing in front of him.And on the mountain wall, there is a line of big characters that are as bright as blood.

"Welcome to Spartan Training Camp!" There are a few small words behind it, Dengzhou Camp.

This line of handwriting is extremely imposing. Li Dezhao, who has always studied his father Li Jing's thin gold script, immediately recognized that this line of handwriting was actually his father's handwriting.He could see that it was definitely not wrong.

Before passing this mountain wall, they walked for another full hour before finally coming to a bigger valley.At the mouth of the valley, there are countless bright and dark whistles.Those muscular men wearing camouflage uniforms, combat boots, and short shaved hair all whistled when they saw Li Dezhao.

Then a team of guards came out, and they took Li Dezhao to a hut, and soon.Li Dezhao was stripped naked from top to bottom.

Finally, the guards shaved an inch off Li Dezhao's hair.

Li Dezhao's resistance was ignored, and he was suppressed.

Shaved my head and took another shower.

Li Dezhao appeared in the cold wind with his bare buttocks, holding the daily necessities that had just been distributed in his hands.

Two thick linen clothes that couldn't be rougher, and the linen clothes were very short, two pairs of briefs.And then, no more.

All the things Li Dezhao brought with him were confiscated and registered, and thrown into the warehouse.Then he got two small sackcloths like a vest, two briefs, and nothing else.Not even a pair of shoes.

In the cold wind, he couldn't help shivering.At this time, Li Dezhao suddenly understood why the Spartan training camp was said by his father to be a devil training camp.

Here, he is no longer the son of King Qin, nor the king of Lanling County.He is nothing anymore, he only has one number left: 95'!

An instructor replaced Lao Ba, and he led Li Dezhao to walk around the camp first. Only then did he realize that not all the students in the Dengzhou camp of the No. 600 camp were together.There were 120 trainees in the whole first phase, but in this valley, there was only a company of [-] trainees.There are thirty companies in the No. [-] Battalion such as theirs.As for where those companies were, no one told him.

After a brief visit to the valley camp, the instructor took him into the dormitory.

Li Dezhao, number 95', saw his own bed, a plank bed, and there were ten plank beds in that dormitory, which was a class dormitory.A company of 120 people has three platoons of 40 people each.A platoon has four classes, each class has ten people.Five wooden beds with upper and lower floors.

On the narrow three-foot wooden bed, there is a straw mat full of sharp edges and corners. In addition, there is a square piece of wood used as a pillow, and a piece of wolf skin used as a quilt.

Other than that, there is nothing left.

Lying on the bed, Li Dezhao tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. The thorns on the mat made him unable to sleep at all.Moreover, he was cold, and the wolf fur was so small that it barely covered half of his body.In spring, it was extremely cold in this mountain, but there was no kang or brazier.His teeth were chattering in the cold, and he still felt hungry.He didn't have enough for dinner at all!

But after riding for a day, he finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

But just after sleeping for a while, Li Dezhao was woken up by the whistle again, and only then did he realize that what happened just now was nothing at all.

In the early hours of the night, many children managed to fall asleep, and the emergency whistle blew.

On the field where the cold wind was blowing, 120 people from the whole company were standing in a row wearing vests and shorts, blowing the cold wind, listening hungry to the lectures of the instructor elder Ba.

Like the students, Lao Ba also wore a vest, and also only wore a pair of shorts.He just walked back and forth in front of everyone with a dark face, occasionally stopping, and his gloomy eyes swept across.

"Here is the Spartan training camp, which is also the devil's training camp. Here, you only need to remember three things. First, obey. Second, obey. Third, obey. Here, the order will only be said once, You only have one chance. Now, you have all of them, and stand in a military posture. No one is allowed to move, no one is allowed to speak until there is no new order."

After finishing speaking, Lao Ba turned his head and left, leaving a group of children ranging from seven to ten years old to stay on the playground where the wind was howling.

After Lao Ba left, he never came back. Ten minutes later, the children were still awed by Lao Ba's majesty, maintaining a military posture.

But after 10 minutes, many people no longer maintained their military posture.

At this time, some children began to look around uncontrollably, and some began to whisper quietly.

Next to Li Dezhao was a child who was about ten years old, he was the oldest of the children, and he was more courageous. He turned to Li Dezhao and said, "My name is Xiao Jian, and I am a child of the Xiao family in Lanling. I heard that this training camp is very good." , Even the son of King Qin is participating in the training. Hey, what's your name, let's make friends, and we will be together in the future."

At this time, Li Dezhao remembered what Zhao Jiang and Lao Ba had said. They both said that everything must be obeyed here.

And Lao Ba's order just now was to maintain a military posture, not to speak, not to move around.

Seeing that Li Dezhao did not respond, Xiao Jian did not give up. "Hey, no one is watching here. I told you your name. You should tell me your name anyway. Which family do you belong to? I heard that those who can enter the training camp this time are the children of meritorious nobles. At least , is also a son of an official."

For almost half an hour, Li Dezhao already felt uncomfortable all over. Standing in a military posture for a long time is the most difficult thing.But he is still working hard to maintain it, he remembers what Old Scar said.But the other children, seeing that the instructor has not appeared for so long, have already started to move their sore feet, and even started to move their bodies with punches and kicks to fight against the cold.

There were even a few little guys comparing their family backgrounds there, and at the end of the comparison, no one refused to accept the other and started talking with their fists.

After half an hour, a burst of footsteps appeared on time.Lao Ba appeared, and there were more than a dozen instructors.

The children all restrained themselves and stood up in military posture one after another.Lao Ba glanced at everyone, but said with a cold smile: "Hey, wasn't it very lively just now, why is it quiet again all of a sudden? I think you are very good, there are chatters, and there are even fights. Look Come on, you didn't take what I said just now to heart."

After the old scar finished speaking, he pointed the whip at the children who had just fought, and immediately several instructors grabbed them out of the team like eagles catching chickens.Looking at the whip and these burly instructors, the faces of the smart children turned pale with fright.

A total of thirteen children participated in the fight, at which point they were taken out and stood aside.

The scar on Old Scar's face was even more ferocious under the light of the fire. He said coldly: "Here, you only have one chance. And you guys didn't cherish it." After finishing speaking, he flicked his whip, "Now, I declare, You have been eliminated by the Spartan training camp Dengzhou No. [-] Battalion."

As soon as the words fell, an instructor immediately stepped forward and hung the thirteen children on the horizontal bar on one side, forming a row.Then, the thick whip fell on the backs of these children fiercely, and with a bang, the backs of the children who only wore vests were torn apart.

Ten whips!Every child who fought was hung up and whipped ten times. His skin was ripped apart and he passed out.Immediately afterwards, the instructor untied them and threw them aside. Immediately, a team of guards came over and dragged them into the darkness.Only then did all the students realize that these children were expelled and received ten lashes after the expulsion.Although these instructors whipped and punished many of their subordinates, they would not kill anyone, but they would have to recuperate for half a year if they did not die.

"The one who just spoke, stand up!"

Xiao Jian's face turned pale, and another smaller child next to him even cried out of fright.He thought they were going to be hanged and beaten, and he yelled: "No, you can't beat me, my grandfather is the colonel of Qin Fan, the earl of Qin Fan, and the defense envoy of Laizhou!"

Before he finished speaking, several instructors pulled him aside, pressed him to the ground, and directly whipped the fifth army stick.After the five army sticks were beaten, the earl's grandson passed out directly.

All the children who spoke and did not maintain a military posture were given five military sticks, but they were not eliminated and expelled, but stayed in the camp for probation and got the last chance.

In the end, thirteen students who fought were expelled directly, and one hundred students who did not maintain their military posture were beaten with five army sticks.

In the end, in the company of 120 people, only Li Dezhao and other seven people kept their military posture.However, they did not escape this catastrophe, because after beating those 100 people, Li Dezhao and seven others were also beaten with two army sticks by one person.In Lao Ba's words, since they belonged to a company, of course they had to share the burden of punishment.At the same time, he also used this action to tell all the students that here, his words are everything, and he has the final right of interpretation.

After the disbandment order was issued, almost all the students were carried back to the dormitory by the instructors.Even Li Dezhao's seven people, who were only beaten by two army sticks, could hardly move.This army stick is really hard to beat, not half water.

An instructor said to Lao Ba: "Isn't it inappropriate to punish the King of Lanling County even if he didn't violate the order just now, especially when he was beaten so hard?"

Lao Ba sneered: "I wanted to beat him hard tonight, and it would be better if he called out his identity when he was being punished, and then beat him up without paying attention, so that he would really be an example to others. It's a pity that this kid actually performed so well, which surprised me a little. However, how can he do it without hitting him with two sticks. On the first day of entering the camp, they have to pay attention immediately. This is the real devil training camp .” (To be continued.)
