The next day, the drums were beating at the fifth watch, and the entire Fengqiao Camp began to move like a sleeping giant awakening.
"What's the noise? It's so noisy so early in the morning. Do you still have any sense of public morality?!"
In the tent, his uncle Zhu Shouren was having a sweet dream. He was suddenly awakened by the sound of drums and horns outside. Before he could realize where he was, he couldn't help but cursed.
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang in the clinic were also woken up, but they reacted immediately. They quickly stopped Zhu Shouren, "Brother Zhu, be silent. This is the military drum. It's already the fifth watch. The leader of the camp." The soldiers have all gotten up, let’s get up too.”
"Oh, I almost forgot, I thought some of my colleagues in Hualou were having a great time." Uncle Zhu Shouren shook his head and complained.
Soon, Hu Wei and Xia Qiang got up. They still remembered what Zhu Pingan said last night, asking them to get up after the fifth watch drum and practice together or read in the morning to prepare for the exam.
However, his uncle Zhu Shouren had no intention of getting up. When Hu Wei and Xia Qiang got up, he stretched out his hand to pull up the quilt and covered his head, trying to isolate the sound from outside and get another sleep.
"Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, didn't your wise nephew tell us last night to get up after the fifth watch drum sounds to follow the drill or read in the morning to prepare for the exam?"
Xia Qiang stepped forward and pulled the quilt of his uncle Zhu Shouren, urging him to get up and reminding him.
Uncle Zhu Shouren pulled the quilt hard and said plausibly, "I am studying in the morning to prepare for the exam."
"Studying in bed in the morning to prepare for the exam?" Xia Qiang opened his mouth wide.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, just listen, I am endorsing it, and the Master said on the river: The deceased is like this man. He does not give up day and night."
Uncle Zhu Shouren's voice came out from under the quilt.
"Oh, Brother Zhu, you"
Xia Qiang wanted to pull Zhu Shouren's quilt again, but Hu Wei stopped him and gave Xia Qiang a wink.
After Hu Wei stopped Xia Qiang, he said to Zhu Shouren in bed, "Since Brother Zhu didn't sleep well, let's sleep for a while. If Master Zhu asks, we will say that you are studying in the tent to prepare for the exam." "
"good!"
Uncle Zhu Shouren was very satisfied with this. The weather was too cold and the quilt was too warm. It was perfect to sleep under the quilt. This was my nephew’s camp, which was also the Zhu family’s camp. Rounding it all off, it was considered my own camp. Why should I wrong myself? Woolen cloth.
After Xia Qiang and Hu Wei walked out of the camp, Xia Qiang asked Hu Wei in a low voice with a puzzled look on his face, "Brother Hu, why didn't you let me wake up Brother Zhu? Master Zhu just told me last night that we should ring the drums at the fifth watch." Those who got up later, if Mr. Zhu sees us getting up but does not see Brother Zhu, how should we answer?"
"Brother Xia, you are stupid. You and I don't know who Zhu is. Even if we pull him up, can he continue to practice or study in the morning to prepare for the exam? Besides, Mr. Zhu The position at hand is limited, and the person named Zhu is Mr. Zhu’s uncle, so he already has an advantage over us. If he wants to sleep with us, he can just sleep with us. It just reduces one competitor, so why not?"
Hu Wei pulled Xia Qiang to the corner and whispered softly.
"This is not good," Xia Qiang was obviously moved, but still hesitant.
"This is also for Lord Zhu's good. What kind of thing named Zhu, if he steals a high position next to Lord Zhu, his virtue is not worthy of his position, and his ability is not worthy of his position. It will only hinder Lord Zhu, and we will be different. "
Hu Wei further persuaded.
"Well, what Brother Hu said makes sense. A scholar will die for his confidant. We are doing this for Master Zhu's sake."
Xia Qiang nodded vigorously.
The two of them walked to Zhu Pingan's handsome tent together. The guard on duty at the door told them that Mr. Zhu had already gotten up and went to drill with the soldiers. The two of them asked about the training location and hurried to the school field.
"Mr. Hu and Mr. Xia are up, where is the uncle?" Zhu Pingan was running with the soldiers on the school field. He saw the two people looking around at the entrance of the school field, so he ran forward, greeted them and asked.
"Ahem, sir, please tell me to study in the tent in the morning to prepare for the exam." Hu Wei coughed and replied without confidence.
Zhu Ping'an immediately understood what was going on, smiled slightly, and said to the two of them, "Okay, since uncle is willing to read in the tent in the morning, then let's read in the tent in the morning. The two of you are on the school grounds. Are you looking for a place to read in the morning, or should you go for a run with me first to exercise and then do your morning reading and homework?"
"We are willing to run with you. As for the morning homework, as I said last night, it is not too late to do our homework in the evening when we have a problem. After running, we are willing to share some military duties with you and do the work of dogs and horses."
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang replied excitedly.
Zhu Ping'an was not surprised by their choice. He nodded slightly and motioned for them to keep running.
Fortunately, the two of them could keep up after running a hundred meters. After running two hundred meters, the two of them were already out of breath. By the time they ran to four hundred meters, they could no longer keep up. As for the seven hundred meters, the two of them could no longer run.
"Gentlemen, you don't have to force yourself. Please rest aside. When I finish running, I will take you two back to the commander's tent to arrange matters." Zhu Pingan said to the two of them.
"It makes the adults laugh."
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang could no longer hold on any longer. After hearing Zhu Pingan's words, they collapsed on the ground.
Zhu Pingan went for a run by himself.
"Brother Hu, Master Zhu is a fourth-grade officer and the commander of an army. Why does he still practice running with these big soldiers? Isn't this self-degradation? As the commander of an army, isn't it enough to strategize?"
Xia Qiang collapsed on the ground, avoiding the training soldiers, covering his mouth with his hands and whispering to Hu Wei.
"Eating and training together, this should be one of Zhu's methods to win over the soldiers." Hu Wei looked at Zhu Pingan running with the soldiers in the school field, thought for a moment, and also covered his mouth with his hands and replied in a low voice.
"Oh, I remembered. All the famous generals in ancient times were like this. They ate and lived with the soldiers, and even sucked the soldiers' abscesses to win the hearts of the soldiers. So it turns out that Master Zhu is really good at it. No wonder he can live here at such a young age. High position.”
Xia Qiang exclaimed, suddenly enlightened, and then couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little more in awe of Zhu Ping'an.
"Shh, we just need to know what's going on. The officials above are not just generals who can make thousands of bones wither. We don't want to be deceived by their appearance and die for them like those stupid big-headed soldiers. We are here to find Those who are on the road to promotion are not here to die." Hu Wei covered his mouth and whispered.
"That's right, Brother Hu is right. When we have an official position, we will find an opportunity to get away. Mr. Zhu has offended Mr. Yan Ge. He will not last long in the future. He is not a person worth following." Xia Qiang said with all his strength. He nodded and whispered.
"Shh, you and I just have to be aware of this." Hu Wei put his finger to his lips, shushed repeatedly, then squeezed his eyes and patted his heart.
Xia Qiang patted his heart and nodded vigorously.
