Chapter 113: Isn’t it spectacular?
"Come on, stop teasing." He scolded softly, and then the soldiers made way, and Cheng Chumo led Xu Luo to the military camp. The military camp was vast, with tents everywhere. When Xu Luo stepped into it, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
"Brother Han, look at this military camp. Don't you think it's spectacular?" Cheng Chumo introduced it as they walked, with a hint of pride in his words.
They were walking between the military camps, and in an open space, the soldiers were training hard. At this time, Cheng Chumo suddenly stopped and pointed at the sweaty recruits, "Look at those guys, their skin is as delicate as girls, they are all new here."
Xu Luo followed Cheng Chumo's finger and saw several figures among the new recruits who stood out. Qin Huaiyu was sweating profusely, his muscle lines were particularly clear in the sun, while Li Huairen looked serious, with sweat running down his nose, which was quite attractive.
"Hehe, Brother Han, especially Qin Huaiyu's chest muscles and Li Huairen's determined eyes, you can tell at first glance that they are good materials for martial arts training." Cheng Chumo introduced jokingly, with a hint of teasing in his words.
Xu Luo nodded slightly, his eyes swept across those young faces, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that each of these recruits was full of vitality and vigor, their skin, chest, and neck all glowed with the luster of youth in the sun.
"Look over there, those two brothers, the two pearls of the Yuchi family, Baolin and Baoqing!"
"Oh, that person over there, that's our prince."
"My Lord Prince!"
Xu Luo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He never thought that Crown Prince Li Chengqian would actually be training in the military camp. While thinking about this, he turned his eyes to the boys who were training. They stretched their necks like geese and stared at Xu Luo who was brought by Cheng Chumo.
Today, Cheng Chumo received the order and came to pick up Xu Luo to the military camp. Who among these young masters doesn't know Xu Luo's name? It has been widely spread. It's really funny to think about it. His Majesty the Emperor, using the alias Lao Li, goes out of the palace every now and then, just to see this fortune-teller. Besides, those bigwigs in the court, such as Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling, all of them are of prominent status, but they also run to the streets from time to time to support a fortune-telling stall.
At first, everyone thought that the emperor had been bored in the palace for too long and wanted to come out for some fresh air. Unexpectedly, as time went on, Xu Luo's wisdom and strategy helped Emperor Li Er become a legend among the famous families in Chang'an City. These young masters also talked about this in private, and they were eager to get to know Xu Luo, but unfortunately they were always strictly controlled by their elders at home.
At this time, the beautiful Qin Yujiao, a woman in the military camp, had flowing eyes and a smile on her lips. A slight glance showed her slender neck and jade-like skin, which made the young men around her feel excited. She walked towards the Yuchi brothers and Li Chengqian, her waist swaying slightly, and every step seemed to step on the tip of everyone's heart. She whispered: "You are all brave and strong. I wonder if you would do me the honor to prepare some wine to celebrate your success later?" After that, her eyes were full of autumn water and her smile was irresistible.
"Keeping your identity secret is an iron rule," their hearts were surging, but on the surface they could only pretend to be calm and only dared to peek from a distance. Today, an unusual guest came to the military camp, Cheng Chumo, the most famous fortune teller in Chang'an City, and the mysterious Xu Luo, who immediately attracted the attention of these military boys. They even stopped their training and looked at the two curiously. At this moment, a sturdy and gloomy general stepped out, wearing armor all over his body, and every step seemed to have the power of thunder. He glanced around coldly, and his eyes, as big as copper bells, frightened the dandies. "Hmph, boys, don't think you can get by in this military camp! If you can't pass the competition in three days, get out of here and go to the battlefield to 'make trouble'!" As soon as the words came out, the dandies seemed to be poured with ice water and hurried back to training.
The general nodded slightly in satisfaction, and then turned his eyes to Xu Luo and Cheng Chumo. Xu Luo's heart tightened when he met that fierce look. That look was like a demon appearing in the world, making him swallow unconsciously and even breathe carefully.
At this moment, the woman next to him pursed her lips gently, her eyes moving, as if she loved and feared the majesty of this military commander. Her chest rose and fell slightly with nervousness, and her jade-like neck unconsciously shrank, revealing a hint of temptation and timidity.
At this moment, the man was like a moving hill, striding towards Cheng Chumo and Xu Luo. When Cheng Chumo saw him, he hurriedly tugged at Xu Luo's clothes and hurriedly got off the horse, as if he was facing a violent storm. Xu Luo was also not in a hurry, and jumped off the horse, looking quite calm.
When the sturdy man came up to him, Cheng Chumo hurriedly bowed and saluted, and shouted respectfully: "General Niu, you are here!" Xu Luo on the side thought to himself, this person can be so rampant in the Zuowu Guard, with that look and momentum, who else could it be but Niu Jinda?
Niu Jinda's fierce eyes swept over Xu Luo. If it were someone else, their legs would have trembled, but Xu Luo was calm. His strong chest and rough face made people dare not speak easily, but when Xu Luo heard the word "fortune teller", he just smiled faintly, nodded and replied: "It is me."
"Haha, interesting!" Niu Jinda laughed, with a hint of interest in his eyes. "I heard you want to join the army? In my opinion, you should set up your fortune-telling stall on the streets! It would be fun to make a little money every day, wouldn't it?"
Xu Luo listened with a smile in his eyes, as if Niu Jinda's suggestion did not disgust him. At this time, he could not help but notice the woman following behind Niu Jinda. Her eyes were rolling and her lips were slightly parted, as if she was full of curiosity about this conversation. The woman had a slender neck, a heaving chest, and jade-like skin. Even in this rough atmosphere, she was particularly eye-catching.
"Hey, you want to be a soldier? This is not a joke!" Niu Jinda stared at Xu Luo seriously, as if he was looking at a toddler who had just learned to walk. "On the battlefield, there are real swords and guns, and life and death are uncertain. Let's not talk about that for now. Just this training alone will make you cry for your parents!" His voice was loud and merciless. Cheng Chu listened silently, his heart beating fast. He glanced at Xu Luo quietly and muttered to himself: "This old bull, his mouth is more powerful than a bullwhip. Brother Han, with his skinny arms and legs, will be beaten to pieces by him."
Cheng Chumo secretly worried whether Xu Luo's proud character could withstand such humiliation.
But at this moment, Xu Luo actually laughed out loud, with a sense of freedom and confidence, as if the sarcasm just now was just a spring breeze blowing past his ears. His eyes were shining, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he seemed calm and unhurried.
