The soldiers of the Hundred Tribes Army have been a little miserable recently.

Deputy General Qu Mingli was already strict in military training, and recently he didn't know what kind of demon he had, and he became more and more strict with everyone's drills.

Not only was he the first to arrive at his post every day, but he was also the last to leave after the drill. The necessary standard for movement stretching, striking sparring must go all out, and if there is a slight slackness, it will be pulled out to practice for public display.

If there are those who do not meet the standards, the punishment will be more severe, not only will they be paid more attention in the drill, but they will also be left in the hall for re-practice after the drill, and they will not be ambiguous.

The soldiers complained in the face of increasingly stringent standards, and they asked for help from the deputy generals. The deputy general of the squad was also a little distressed about them, and communicated with Qu Mingli, but Qu Mingli had a resolute attitude.

"They are soldiers, they are soldiers, if they don't go through some hardships, how can they go to the battlefield and suffer those battles day and night."

Ban Fei was helpless, Ning Zeqing saw this matter in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, which could be regarded as acquiescence.

In fact, Qu Ming's desire for revenge became more and more prevalent, and he pinned his trust on this army, and if he wanted to overthrow the attack in the future, he would definitely need a soldier of his own. Second, it can be regarded as accumulating experience for himself and establishing majesty in front of everyone.

No matter what the result is, the more proficiency in military training at this time, the more hope for victory.

Not only that, Qu Ming left the exercises, had a meal, and went to the study building in the mansion when he was free, buried his head in the military book and strategy, and did not let himself be idle for a moment.

Ban Fei saw that he was so diligent, and he also worked hard with him and studied books with him.

Occasionally, I was suspicious when I read the book, and when I turned my head and just wanted to ask, I saw Qu Mingli sitting upright as if he had settled down, frowning and thinking, and it was inconvenient to disturb, so he turned it over and over again in order to gain an opinion.

Wu Qingsheng saw the two of them like this, and also sighed at the way of learning.

On this day, Ning Zeqing put down the tea bowl and said lightly to Ban Fei and Qu Mingli: "Tomorrow there will be a tea party with His Royal Highness the Prince, and if Vice General Qu is busy in the army, he doesn't need to go." ”

Qu Mingli replied: "General, the affairs in the army are not busy, and my subordinates are willing to go together." ”

Qu Mingli and Shi Shu have not seen each other for many days, and if they think about their future prospects, they should also appear in front of them. Moreover, the gatherings with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often include the newly promoted ministers of the DPRK and China, and getting acquainted with them will naturally not be a bad thing.

Ning Zeqing took a deep look at him and said, "It seems that Vice General Qu is asking for a bit too much. ”

Qu Mingli lowered his head and did not answer.

Seeing that there seemed to be a stalemate, Ban Fei stood up and said: "If there are many things in the army, it is better to let me stay in the camp and let Deputy General Qu accompany you to the banquet." ”

Ning Zeqing lowered his eyebrows: "No, the two of you can accompany me to the banquet together." ”

The two should go down.

Ning Zeqing asked the two of them to leave separately to perform their duties, and shouted outside the tent: "The letter soldiers are coming." ”

The soldier entered the account: "The subordinates are here." ”

Ning Zeqing summoned him to his side, whispered a few words, and the little soldier nodded and left.

The next day, Ning Zeqing arrived at the teahouse on time with two lieutenants, and the prince Shi Shu and the new ministers also arrived one after another.

Recently, not only has the army of the hundred ethnic groups been lively, but the court and the central government have also changed their ministers frequently, and people have come and gone, and the ministers seem to be a younger generation.

"This one is a little familiar, I don't know if it's ......"

The new Lord Wu pointed at Qu Mingli and asked.

Shi Shu stepped forward to introduce: "This is my fourth brother Qu Mingli, Zeqing's deputy general, his martial arts and strategy are extraordinary, and he will be a pillar of talent in the future." He had also gone to the banquet with us before, and he wanted to have a good relationship. It's just that there have been fewer gatherings recently, so I'm rusty. ”

When Qu Mingli heard this, he saw the right time to greet the adults: "The last general, Qu Mingli, has seen Lord Hang, Lord Chi, Lord Zhuang, Lord Li, Lord Xiang, Lord Wu and other adults. ”

The crowd was amazed.

Master Li asked, "How do you remember the last names of all of us?" I never seem to have spoken to you. ”

Qu Ming bowed his head and said: "I heard about the deeds of your lords before, and I was very fascinated. Hangzhou University is people-oriented, tax reduction and exemption, and sympathetic to the people's feelings. Master Chi reformed the old and made the new, repaired the law of trade, and cultivated the friendship of all countries; Lord Zhuang and Lord Li joined forces, fearless of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, eradicating local bullies and uprooting traitors in the court, for the sake of beauty; Mr. Xiang and Mr. Wu are the new champions and leaders of this time, and their literary talents are extraordinary, and the future is promising. The last general sighed that with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all the adults, he will be able to prosper day by day. ”

Everyone laughed, and seeing that he had no confusion or omission in everyone's affairs, and his words were sincere, they also had some good feelings, and they were really impressed by him.

Ning Zeqing said: "Since everyone has arrived, let's take a seat first." ”

One by one, everyone sat down.

"Recently, my father has appointed a lot of new ministers, and I was worried that you would not be properly handed over for a while, but I didn't expect that not only did there be no such thing, but it was skillful to control it, but I underestimated you adults before. Shi Shu was guilty and punished himself with a cup. Shi Shu raised his glass and drank it all.

Zhuang Daren said: "Where is His Royal Highness the Prince?" At the beginning of our tenure, we were all trembling, for fear that we would make a mistake. It's just that after hesitating again and again, I made up my mind to do it, and I saw some results. Those trivial details were naturally a headache at the beginning, but I just didn't say much. ”

Master Wu also said: "Speaking of which, I was originally familiar with various books and served the country with scientific examinations, because I admired the virtues of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Wen Xian. Now that he is accompanied by His Royal Highness the Prince, there are many good ministers around him, and he is very pleased to have great ambitions in his heart. ”

Shi Shu said with a smile: "When I was young, my father also said that I had a simple temperament and was not sinister, and if I fought with others, I was afraid that I would suffer a loss." Now it seems to me that as long as I treat it with enthusiasm, I am not afraid of the dark and muddy road ahead. Even if the abyss is wide, it has its own light. ”

Everyone nodded, signaled their sympathy, and raised their glasses to drink.

Ning Zeqing bowed his head and was silent, as if he was thinking about it, and didn't say much.

Xiao Er put on new tea, one after another.

All the handsome sons gathered on the first floor, elegant and prosperous, and became a beautiful scenery of their own. Everyone talked and laughed and quoted scriptures, talked about the country and the world, and talked about each other.

Qu Mingli also occasionally said a few words, which attracted everyone's attention.

He was originally a military general, and he had a lot of Chinese ink.

Drink until dusk, the feast disperses, say goodbye one by one, and go back to their homes.

Back in the mansion, Ning Zeqing said to Qu Mingli, who was following behind: "You go back first, I have something to talk about with the deputy general." ”

Qu Mingli nodded and left first. Ban Fei was a little puzzled, I don't know why.

Ning Zeqing took Ban Fei to the study and asked him, "Why didn't you say a word at today's banquet?" ”

Ban Fei was terrified: "General, I have never spoken on these occasions. ”

Ning Zeqing was a little angry, but he didn't attack: "I heard that you and Qu Ming often went to the study building recently, can you gain something?" ”

Ban Fei said with a smile: "I have turned over the military theories you taught me in the past, and I really have some feelings. I'll bring my notes and see if you're right. ”

Ban Fei was about to leave after speaking, but was stopped by Ning Zeqing.

"That's it."

Ban Fei stopped his movements and waited for Ning Zeqing to signal, but he was half-speechless.

"Well, you go down." Ning Zeqing seemed to be a little weak and said.

Ban Fei had no choice but to leave.

This night, the lights in Ning Zeqing's room were as late as Qu Ming's lights in the study building were extinguished, one sighed, and the other was satisfied.
