Chapter 8 Kyoto Reaction
All of Shen Qingzhou's skill points were spent on basic body-building exercises, which really improved his physical fitness in all aspects.

This time on the battlefield, I explored my physical strength again. I am full of energy after a war. It would be a lie to say that I am not tired, but I am not like other people who are exhausted after coming back.

Under normal circumstances, war is different from normal exercise. Even if the amount of exercise is the same, fighting will definitely consume more physical energy than exercise.

After consuming 10,000 skill points and breaking through the upper limit of the basic body-building method, and investing all the remaining skill points, he clearly felt the difference.

Apart from being taller and having bigger muscles, I can feel the blood flowing in my body.

He had experienced true Qi, but he couldn't use it. Qi and blood were different, but he could feel it. The Qi and blood in his body were gradually condensing. Wherever there was an injury, the Qi and blood would flow quickly to that area and the swelling would go away quickly.

His previous body-building method was advanced by relying on myths. In his memory, it was simply trained by being beaten with various weapons for decades. There was no such thing as true qi acupoints.

The current body-building method has changed its name from the original basic body-building to nameless. Shen Qingzhou changed his mind, and the name of Shen's body-building technique appeared. He was a bad at naming.

This war was considered a small victory. It was a routine war that was fought several times every year. In the autumn and winter, the Hu people were idle, and life on the grassland was not easy, so they naturally came to take advantage of the situation.

But in spring, when the grass and water are lush and the grassland people are grazing their horses and sheep, it is time to switch from offense to defense, and there is no need to worry about not having a battle to fight.

……

"Report, victory report from the border." In Kyoto, early in the morning, the battle report from the border arrived urgently.

"Okay." Emperor Qing seemed very happy. Although he already knew it in advance, he still had to do what he had to do.

After taking a look at Chen Pingping, the middle-aged man in black sitting in a wheelchair, and Fan Jian in official uniform, he felt something interesting.

He is the emperor, and the Censorate is in charge of monitoring the world for him. There are some things that he cannot possibly not know. He even knew it when the empress met the child for the first time. Is there anything that could be hidden from him in this palace? He is the grandmaster.

He didn't take Shen Qingzhou seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have let him live this long. A bastard who came from nowhere must not be a relative of the Queen. He was well prepared before taking action.

"Qin Ye." Emperor Qing said.

"The old minister is here." In a very conspicuous place at the front right side of the hall, there are two chairs and a wheelchair. In the middle, an elderly man who was sleeping with his neck tilted back seemed to wake up, stood up and said.

"General Qin has a good way of managing the army."

"It's all thanks to your majesty's wisdom, your protection of the border troops, and the hard work of the soldiers." Qin Ye was very low-key.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, just leave it at that. Come up with a list of rules and ask for a reward." After Emperor Qing finished speaking, he stood up and left. All the officials had already gotten used to it.

"The child survived. What are you going to do? Doesn't he have no true energy?" Fan Jian said while pushing Chen Pingping.

"The Black Knight reported that although he doesn't have true qi, he has some talent in external skills. This time when he went to the border army, he helped him."

"That's fine. Being away for once might make her sad for a while. So let's just be nervous." Fan Jian said.

The two men didn't take Shen Qingzhou seriously at all. The vanguard battalion was supposed to be able to fight to the death, dare to take risks and kill, but in the final analysis, they were just soldiers who lived today but not tomorrow. They were at the bottom of the battlefield and could not be compared with normal soldiers.

Maybe in a one-on-one situation, the Vanguard Battalion might be stronger, but this is the army, and the soldiers' daily training for coordinated operations is something the Cannon Fodder Battalion cannot do. It's simple, they don't have that much time to cooperate, and the replacement is too fast. The term cannon fodder is not used in vain, and it's normal for the camp to be empty during a war. In this case, naturally, they would not take Shen Qingzhou seriously, mainly because these two are big guys, not to mention Shen Qingzhou, even if he is a ninth-rank big guy in the eyes of ordinary people, it's nothing to them.

One is the powerful president of the Supervisory Committee, and the other is a big boss who has trained his own Tiger Guards and has at least 8th-rank guards around him. What is there to be afraid of? At most, he can cultivate the external skills to the top 3rd rank? Ridiculous. Without true qi, it won't work.

In the palace, the queen also received the news early on. Although she had no relatives to help her outside, she was still the queen after all.

She knew more details, mainly news about Shen Qingzhou. He was very happy that the other party survived, but he did not leave the cannon fodder camp. She knew that her information must have been leaked.

And she also figured it out. Maybe the other party had already discovered it and was deliberately taking revenge on her, giving her hope and then taking it away. It was too cruel.

People don't even have to do it themselves, as it would be meaningless. They just have to live in fear of whether they can survive or not. This is their revenge on themselves, Ye Qingmei, the queen thought of this terrible woman.

……

Border.

Shen Qingzhou finally left the camp. Although the cannon fodder camp did not leave due to resistance from some people, all other rewards were still received.

He came out with a few soldiers, and because of his military achievements, he was promoted to team leader and could command fifty people.

He had made many military achievements and was more than qualified to be a squad leader of ten men. He was almost qualified to be a military officer, but this time he was promoted directly.

At first I thought it was an advantage, but later I understood that it is also a disadvantage. The advantage is that I have a high-ranking official, but the disadvantage is that I do not have enough soldiers under my command.

He has eighteen people under his command, and he will not be able to get fresh blood for at least a month. This also means that in this month, as long as there is a war, he will naturally owe thirty-two lives.

When you were a small soldier, or even a sergeant or squad leader, you could get military merit if you killed people quickly.

However, when you reach the level of team leader, you have to ensure that your team's losses are smaller than the enemy's in order to gain military merit. Otherwise, you may even be punished, and in serious cases, you may even lose your head.

For example, if Shen Qingzhou was the only one left in his team, he would have to kill fifty people before he could start to get military merit.

And considering that if you kill someone, your superiors might blame you, it's not easy to do it.

After leaving the camp, everyone gathered at the brothel. This was the place where everyone had the same destination. Shen Qingzhou also followed the crowd, but left after just over ten minutes. Oh my god, what kind of quality is this.

They are all soldiers, it's normal not to be picky.

Gambling dens and brothels are places that everyone loves to go to. As long as there is today, there will be no tomorrow, so everyone will spend money.

Shen Qingzhou tasted the border delicacies, but they were bland and tasteless. Although salt was invented, it was still rarely used here.

I can only say that there is a huge difference between Kyoto and other places.

Every two days, there will be another war. This is also a feature of the season. Autumn and winter are the most difficult times.
