"Kill! Kill! Kill! "In the military academy in the western suburbs of Chang'an, a team of cadets is undergoing martial arts training, and one by one the dark-faced cadets are holding heavy steel knives, which weigh eight catties, except that there is no blade, and there is not much difference from the knives used in the army.

The practice of martial arts is actually a very boring thing, for example, these students like now, they need to swing their swords 200 times a day, and there can be no mistakes in force and posture, otherwise the instructor next to them will whip them down.

At the head of the left in the last row of these students was a tall and thin young man, who looked no different from the students around him, wearing a gray training uniform, his skin was tanned, and his face was full of determination. However, if Li Su saw this person, he would definitely be surprised, because this young student was Li Zhen, Li Su's eighth brother.

A few years ago, Li Zhi was named the crown prince, but Li Shimin was worried that Li Zhi's temperament was too weak, and later listened to Li Su's opinion, and opened a juvenile class in the military academy, so that the two brothers Li Zhen and Li Yun, as well as a group of noble children from Chang'an, entered the juvenile class and accompanied Li Zhi to learn various military skills.

Li Zhen was ecstatic about this arrangement, he originally liked to hunt on horseback, and he also had a great interest in military affairs, coupled with the influence of Li Su, he also had his own ambitions and ideals, so after he entered the military academy, he naturally redoubled his efforts, and soon entered the regular military cadets from the junior class, and together with ordinary cadets, carried out more arduous and more cruel military training.

Li Zhen is seventeen years old this year, and he has also studied in the military academy for three years. Speaking of which, he is indeed worthy of being Li Shimin's son, and his military talent is extremely high. Among the students of the same level, they can get the top few in each assessment. This not only surprised veterans like Li Jing, but even Li Shimin was very surprised by his son.

However, Li Zhen in today's training seems to be a little absent-minded. When I started swinging the knife, I was able to keep up with the rhythm, but slowly there was a slight deviation, and the speed was a little slower than others. Naturally, this could not escape the eyes of the instructor, and I saw the bearded instructor step forward quickly, and the whip in his hand was pulled off with his head and face.

For this kind of punishment, Li Zhen didn't dare to dodge at all, and at the same time, he wouldn't dodge, but he was hit in the shoulder by this whip, and Li Zhen only felt a hot pain in his shoulder. At the same time, the packing arm was numb, but he didn't dare to complain, and he didn't even frown, and still slashed forward one after another.

Seeing Li Zhen's performance, the bearded instructor snorted coldly and continued to supervise with a whip. It's just that he didn't know that the student he hit was the prince of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, not only did the instructor not know, but few of the students who had been with Li Zhen for several years knew Li Zhen's true identity, and even those who knew Li Zhen in the first place. He didn't dare to tell his identity if he recognized him in the military academy, because this was Li Shimin's personal order, and Li Zhen was allowed to study in the military academy incognito, and that was the only way. He was able to be treated as an equal like the rest of the students, and at the same time learned a true skill.

After being whipped up. Li Zhen finally didn't dare to be distracted anymore and began to seriously carry out boring training. It wasn't until an hour later that the training was completed. Speaking of which, Li Zhen's cadets in this phase are all veteran cadets who have been in the military academy for nearly three years. But after this training, everyone was still tired and sweaty, but no one dared to sit down, but began to move slightly, and after the tired body was moved, they began to slowly sit down and rest.

"Yan Ba, let's go eat together!" Li Zhen also moved a few times, and then a group of students who were good friends with him greeted him. Li Zhen naturally didn't use his real name in the military academy, and even changed his surname to his mother's surname, his mother was Yanbei's aunt, so he and Yanbei were very close cousins. As for the name, he used his ranking among the princes, anyway, many of the cadets in the military academy were from poor families, and the names were not very particular.

Li Zhen happened to be hungry after training all morning, and he usually ate with these good students, so after hearing this, he immediately ran over and said with a smile: "Okay, today seems to be the sixth day of the new year, and it is the day when the canteen makes stewed mutton, so we have to have a good meal!" ”

"Hahahaha, you kid knows how to eat, just now I saw that you were whipped with a big beard, did you think about eating mutton?" One of the cadets teased.

"You foodie still dare to say that I, who secretly brought a leg of mutton into the military academy last time, and then was found and beaten by the instructor?" Li Zhen also fought back unceremoniously, and at the same time was not honest in his hands, and began to have a friendly match with the other party, and the other party did not show weakness, the two moved to the cafeteria while fighting, and several other people were already used to this situation, so not only did not stop it, but also coaxed and cheered.

A group of people came to the cafeteria in a fight, but just as Li Zhen was about to enter with his companions, he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the door of the canteen, which made Li Zhen immediately say to his companions, let them go in first, and then walked to the man and said, "Brother Seven, what are you doing standing at the gate?" ”

Standing at the door of the cafeteria is Li Yun, at the beginning, he was the same as Li Zhen, he was also a member of the junior class of the military academy, he was originally sixteen years old, it is said that he did not need to go to any junior class, but Li Shimin felt that Li Yun's temperament was weaker than Li Zhi, so he specially named him to go, and as a result, Li Yun became the oldest student in the junior military academy class.

"Hehe, what else can I do, of course I'm looking for you." Li Yun said with a smile, then put his arm around Li Zhen's shoulder, and then said as he walked towards the cafeteria, "Let's go, let's have a meal and talk while eating!" ”

When Li Zhen entered the cafeteria, he found that there were many fewer people eating in the canteen today than usual, and he didn't even have to queue up to eat, and soon the two of them cooked their own meals, and then found a secluded corner to sit down, and then Li Zhen asked: "Brother Seven, why are there so few people today?" ”

"Hey, the infantry department has gone out to train again, and the next few classes of your cavalry department are also going to go for survival training, so there are a small number of people in our military academy today, so there will be so many seats vacated." Li Yun took a bite of rice and replied casually.

Li Yun also performed well in the junior military academy class, but he studied in a different direction from Li Zhen, majoring in the staff department, mainly responsible for helping the combat commander sort out combat information, put forward his own combat opinions to the commander, and even responsible for assigning combat tasks to his subordinates. This is very suitable for Li Yun, after all, with his temperament, he doesn't have the courage to pick up a knife and fight the enemy.

It is also worth mentioning that Li Yun, as Li Shimin's son, although he looks a little scumbag, is an extremely shrewd person, not only good at analyzing information, but also knows how to find problems from some details, so he is a student of the staff department is very good, although his performance is not as eye-catching as Li Zhen, but it also makes Li Shimin look at this son differently.

Li Yun was originally engaged in information analysis, and he was naturally well aware of the situation in the military academy in normal times, and Li Zhen was not surprised. However, after Li Yun answered Li Zhen's question, he immediately continued: "Eighth brother, do you know the news that the sixth brother won another battle in Nanyang?" ”

When Li Zhen heard this question, she sighed and said with envy: "I knew last night, speaking of which, I really envy the sixth brother, the eldest husband should be like him, carry a three-foot sword, and make immortal achievements, so that we can go in the world in vain!" ”

Hearing the words of his younger brother, Li Yun was not surprised, because he knew that Li Zhen had always regarded the sixth brother as a role model and learned from the sixth brother in everything, especially in terms of expanding the territory, which made Li Zhen admire it even more, but compared to their sixth brother, he and Li Zhen could only stay in the military academy in Chang'an, and they had no chance to go out at all.

However, Li Yun didn't have any big ambitions, he quickly adjusted, and comforted Li Zhen: "Eighth brother, don't be discouraged, the sixth brother has only produced one person in thousands of years, so you must not compare with him, in addition, we are not wasting our time, when we graduate from the military academy, whether we join our Datang military academy or go to the sixth brother, we will definitely be able to fight a world!" ”

Li Zhen frowned when she heard Li Yun's words, and said a little unhappily: "Seventh brother, you won't have this ambition, right?" ”

Li Yun showed a wry smile and said: "Eighth brother, don't you know how to be a brother, I was not interested in these things of fighting and killing, if I didn't want my father to pay attention to me, I wouldn't have come to learn any staff department!" ”

Li Yun's words did come from the bottom of his heart, originally when he was in the juvenile class, he planned to mix for a while, but later saw that Li Zhen, who performed well, was valued by his father Li Shimin, which made Li Yun also have an idea and began to study hard, after all, as a son, he hopes to be affirmed by his father, especially a prince like Li Yun who is not taken seriously, and he is even more eager to express himself, so he joined the military academy as an ordinary cadet like Li Zhen, and began to study hard, and now it seems that the effect is obvious, At least Li Shimin knows that he has a son who is very resourceful.

Li Zhen naturally knew what his seventh brother thought, but he didn't laugh at the other party, but thought deeply for a while: "Seventh brother, although your staff department is a talent in the military academy and doesn't attach much importance to martial arts, but you are also a bloody soldier, do you plan to spend your life like this after learning these things and then pleasing your father?" ”

Li Yun was very shrewd, he had already heard what Li Zhen was saying, but he couldn't guess his younger brother's mind for the time being, so he asked a little puzzled: "Eighth brother, what do you mean ......" (to be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
