Chapter 93 Father and Son Have Their Own Agendas

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. In terms of age, the new recruits who came on stage may not be younger than Pei Zisu, but they are all very confident.

If you can remain undefeated for just thirty moves, you can get the position of a centurion. Everyone would want to give it a try.

But their enthusiasm became somewhat uncertain after a series of defeats. After the 34th person was knocked off the martial arts platform, the others were powerless even if they wanted to. They all looked at Pei Zisu with awe in their eyes.

"Any more?"

Pei Zisu shouted loudly. He had just finished warming up and was in much better condition than when he first started. Naturally, he was a little excited.

But no matter how much he shouted, none of the recruits were willing to come up and challenge.

He looks young, but why is his Kung Fu so powerful?

Not to mention winning, he couldn't even remain undefeated. No wonder he could become the commander of the 400,000-strong Pei family army. Thinking of this, the new recruits developed an attitude of following the major general in front of them to the death.

Following such a general, they are convinced!

"The Major General is so powerful, and we all admire him very much. It is our blessing to be able to fight with him!"

After someone raised his arm and called out, everyone followed suit, clenching their fists and shouting. Pei Zisu didn't even say much before he won over the recruits. Ge Huzi showed a simple and honest smile. It turned out that the young general was really capable. In less than an entire morning, he had accomplished what would have taken them several months to do.

If there are more new recruits joining the camp in the future, this kind of scene of establishing authority must be done more often!
While everyone was cheering, no one noticed that on the top of a hill in the distance, the King of Han and his Prince were also watching the battle.

The King of Han was over forty years old and was at the prime of his life.

Compared to those princes in Xijing City who enjoy wealth and luxury, the King of Han does not have the slightest bit of arrogance. Instead, because he is always prepared for danger, his brows are always tightly furrowed, his lips are thin, his eyebrows are sharp, and his eyes are like an owl.

With his sturdy build, it can be seen that he is also good at martial arts.

More than a decade ago, he was a popular candidate for the throne. However, after the old emperor planned a detailed and meticulous palace coup to seize power, he became a thorn in the side of those in power. Not only was he almost killed, he also suffered from a hidden illness and could no longer have children.

Originally, he was sent to Hanzhou because the old emperor wanted to take advantage of the years of war in Hanzhou to destroy the powerful enemy, the King of Han. However, he never expected that he would lie dormant and protect Hanzhou like an iron barrel for more than ten years.

He has the support of the Pei family army behind him, so even if they dislike him over the years, they cannot do anything about him.

Anyone in a higher position would be wary of someone with a talent like Pei Zisu, so after watching the whole process, the two of them had complicated looks in their eyes.

The King of Han watched Pei Zisu grow up, and he liked this child who was once only as tall as his waist so much, as if he was seeing himself at his age. But God just likes to play jokes.

Being in such a situation and having only this one son by his side, he sometimes resented the injustice of God. Otherwise, he would not have kept his son by his side and raised him every day even though he knew that he could not become the crown prince.

The Prince of Han next to him appeared to be rather broad-shouldered and fat, with big ears and a fat head. If one looked closely at his facial features, he was quite similar to the Prince of Han, but his temperament and means of winning over the people were far from commendable.

"Father, Pei Zisu is too high-profile. First, he stayed in Xijing City and didn't come back for a long time. Then, he broke the verbal agreement with his sister and got engaged secretly. Now he is back and doesn't even go to see you first. Instead, he is here to bribe new soldiers. Does the Pei family have other ideas? Please understand, father!" The Prince of Han looks timid, but is actually cruel.

Especially for Pei Zisu, it can be said that he has been jealous since he was a child. After all, the limelight of himself, the prince of Han, was snatched away by Pei Zisu, so he often framed Pei Zisu in front of the King of Han.

"Okay, if you have time to find fault with Zi Su, you should first clear out all the girls in your yard. I think the girls in your house have lost their way because of you. Humph, you still have the mind to talk about these things!"

It was not the first time that the Prince of Han was refuted, so although it was a bit embarrassing, he would never direct this hatred towards his own father, but instead transferred it to Pei Zisu.

I originally thought that if he became my brother-in-law, this hatred could be resolved.

He actually found an unknown girl from the Jiang family in Xijing City and arranged a marriage for her. He also asked Princess Qinghuan for support. Isn't this clearly telling everyone else that Princess Qinghuan is supporting them?
This is Princess Dasui Qinghuan, who no one dares to mess with!
Therefore, although the Prince of Han was filled with hatred, he did not dare to act rashly.

Then the King of Han rode down the horse with the Crown Prince and his entourage and headed towards the military camp. When they arrived, the ring competition had already ended.

Pei Zisu did not expect the King of Han to arrive so soon, so he quickly stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted and said.

"Zi Su greets the prince!"

"Well, you came back and didn't even bother to come see me, and you even asked me to come and find you! Tell me, do you want to be punished?"

"Of course I am. Your Majesty, please tell me what the punishment is."

"After you finish dealing with military affairs, I punish you to go to the palace to drink with me. If you are not here, I will not even have a drinking partner. I can't even find anyone who can drink with me. It's boring! It's really boring!"

"Okay, this is simple."

There was nothing wrong with the conversation between the two. In the eyes of everyone, Prince Han's love and fondness for the young general of the Pei family was beyond words. Similarly, they could clearly feel the disgust and hatred that the Prince of Han next to them had for Pei Zisu.

Ge Huzi was a smiling tiger. After seeing the disdainful expression of the Prince of Han, he still smiled "heartily". So Pei Zisu stepped forward and led the King of Han to the big tent to rest.

Inside the tent, the King of Han sat in the middle and started by asking about the situation across the Huai River.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Nearly 60% of the work had been completed before I came. After the iron ingots were compacted, it can be seen that the dam is much more stable. This year's flood should not be a big deal."

"That's good, but I'll still let Han Ling preside over the relocation of the village, just in case. Only by saving the people can we save the foundation of Hanzhou!"

The words of the King of Han made everyone in the tent feel relieved.

Hanzhou is located beside the Huai River and has been greatly affected by wars for many years, but there has been very few large-scale migrations of people away. This is the reason.

The people of Hanzhou, especially the farming families, have always been the most valued. Without their hard work in growing crops, the military rations of Hanzhou over the years would not have been supplied at all. Therefore, no matter what happens, protecting the people is the primary responsibility.

Everyone in Pei's army is the same in this regard.
