11. Qualifications
When Li Hao and the others walked into the back of the quartermaster's office, they saw the old officer from yesterday, sitting inside and reprimanding a group of soldiers. "Remember, this time is different, the materials this time are very important, there can't be a little mistake, I made a military order on it, understand?"
"Understood." The group of soldiers replied in unison, their voices encouraging and domineering.
Li Hao and the three didn't go in, they stood on the edge of an empty space outside, because there happened to be some people who were about their age, and they didn't wear military uniforms.
"Are you from Mick Academy?" A short man among those people looked at Li Hao and the three of them walking towards them and asked.
"Yes, we are, and so are you?" Mike replied and asked again.
The short man smiled: "Haha, I'm Abt from the third class of the earth department, and this is my classmate Yaheng." He pointed behind him.
"I'm Mike from the second class of the Doushi Department, and the two next to me are in the same class as me, his name is Li Hao, and his name is Si Rui." Mike introduced them one by one.
"Nice to meet you." The two sides humbled each other.
After talking with them, Li Hao and the three of them introduced each other to each other, they were all students of the academy, and they also came for this escort mission.
Just when Li Hao was talking to these people in depth, Mike mysteriously leaned into his ear and said, "We are not lonely on this trip. β
Li Hao asked suspiciously, "Why?" β
Mike's eyes narrowed, he looked at the gate with a smirk, and snickered, "Hehe, there are beautiful women with you." β
I followed his eyes and saw a familiar figure walking towards him, and when I looked closely, I saw that this person was Aidan. Li Hao was shocked, he couldn't have imagined that the eldest lady would come back here.
After Aidan came in. Instead of standing with them, he chose to stand in the open space farther away from them. Li Hao saw that she didn't stand up, and his mood relaxed. He was really afraid that she would come and greet him.
Looking at Aidan who was standing opposite, Li Hao winked at her vigorously. Aidan ignored it. A grim expression hung on his face.
Abt also noticed the sudden Aidan at this time, he put his arm on Mike's shoulder, and exclaimed, "Isn't this the big beauty of our academy, Miss Aidan?" β
"yes, I didn't expect her to come back too." Mike's eyes are starry.
"Don't be a nymphomaniac, someone else has a fiancΓ©." Li Hao saw that the two of them were about to drool and reminded.
"What's this, don't you say you're not married? There is an opportunity for everyone. Mike looked like he was not afraid of a dead pig.
"That's it, that's it." Abt Compound Road.
Seeing that these two people are no longer saved. Li Hao looked at them lazily, turned around and went to Si Rui. When Li Hao turned around, Aidan's eyes glanced at him, and a trace of longing drifted in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
After the soldiers from the quartermaster department left, Li Hao and his group of students walked in.
After the old officer saw Li Hao and them coming in, he nodded and said, "I won't say polite words, this escort mission is a little more difficult than before, as for why, I can't explain." Now I ask you, does anyone want to quit? β
The first to stand up was actually Si Rui, who has never spoken: "I'm going." The tone is very affirmative and the attitude is very resolute. The next one is Li Hao: "I'll go too." The tone was calm. The next people all took a stand.
"My Stephens never do anything to back down." Aidan was the last to speak.
Li Hao looked at her. Thought: "Yesterday I said that it was dangerous, don't go, but today I ran away, and the woman's heart really can't guess it." β
Seeing that everyone was going, the old officer laughed and said, "Okay, ambitious, as long as you successfully complete the task this time, I will definitely ask for credit from the top for you." ββ¦
"Really." As soon as Si Rui heard "ask for credit from above", he was excited for a while. Said that he slipped his mouth.
When the old officer saw his appearance, he was not angry. Again: "As long as you complete the task, I will take credit for you." β

After coming out of the quartermaster's office. They were going to report to the captain of the escort team and ask for instructions. As soon as he came out, Li Hao was thinking of how to talk to Aidan alone. He deliberately walked to the back, trying to get rid of Mike's gang for a while.
When the opportunity came, seeing that Aidan was the last to come out of the quartermaster's office, Li Hao didn't say a word, grabbed Aidan's hand, and in a flash, he turned to the place where there was no one behind the quartermaster's office.
At first, Aidan was startled when he saw someone grabbing his hand, and resisted fiercely, and found that the person who captured her was Li Hao, so he stopped struggling and followed him to bring her here.
"You're going too?" After arriving at the location, Li Hao turned around and asked.
"You can come, why can't I?" Aidan asked her this sentence as soon as he came up, as if he meant to blame, so he asked rhetorically.
When Li Hao heard her words, he thought that she was still angry about yesterday's incident, and said relaxedly: "Eldest Miss, have you notified the family elders of this matter?" β
Aidan was stunned, and his face immediately became ugly.
As soon as Li Hao saw her expression, he knew that she came out of the house without it. Once this is figured out, the rest of the matter will not be a problem.
"Miss, it's wrong and wrong for you to do this, you have made a serious mistake in thinking, and the consequences are serious." Li Hao said threateningly. He wasn't afraid of her getting mad now, because he had the handle now.
Seeing his attitude change, Aidan was very angry and shouted, "What about that, who are you?" I don't need an outsider to dictate my family's affairs...... Woowoooooooo
Li Hao hurriedly covered her mouth with his hand and said, "My eldest lady, just stop, if you lure other people over, it will be troublesome." β
Perhaps sensing that what he said made sense, Aidan immediately fell silent.
After letting go of her mouth, Aidan took a few big breaths and said, "Rogue." β
Li Hao: "............"
β»β»β»
While Li Hao and Aidan were entangled here, Mike and the others were looking for Li Hao everywhere.
"Where did Li Hao's kid go? In the blink of an eye, it was gone. Mike saw that the team was ready and was about to set off, but Li Hao hadn't shown up yet.
Si Rui next to him also said anxiously: "Mike, what should I do?" β
"You ask me, I ask that?" Mike was in a hurry to hear him ask. It's even more urgent.
"Where's the beauty?" Suddenly, I don't know who asked this sentence, and it immediately aroused the co-Jonathan of the surrounding crowd. Then they changed from looking for Li Hao to looking for Aidan.
β»β»β»
The changes over there, Li Hao and the two of them don't know yet.
Aidan: "And what do you want me to do?" β
Li Hao: "Go back." Back to Stephen's house. β
Aidan: "No way, I'm going." Who are you and why do you care about me. β
Li Hao: "I am the guard of the Stephen family, and I have the obligation to protect the safety of anyone in the Stephen family, especially the surname Sima." β
Aidan: "You also know that you are the Stephen family's guard, I told you not to go yesterday, why do you still go?" β
Li Hao: "I ......"
Aidan: "Say! β
Li Hao: "This is my business, you don't have to worry about it." β
Aidan: "It's my business, too, and you don't care." β
Li Hao had nothing to say at all. Aidan was so determined to go that he couldn't move her at all.
"And what are you going to do? Just go back? This is Li Hao's last hope.
Aidan was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and said with a red face: "If you don't go, I won't go." β
"No way, I have to go." Li Hao must go, he has now set his goal, he wants to build a strong army, this opportunity is just right to experience experience, how can he give up. β¦
"Then I'll decide." Aidan looked up. Looking at him, there was a non-negotiable air in his tone.
"Then whatever you want." Li Hao gave up.
"Hmph."
β»β»β»
"Li Hao, you just got there, and we haven't found it for a long time." After Li Hao dropped the last sentence. I came back alone, and I happened to meet Mike and them.
"Looking for me for a long time? Why did I just hear that you are all shouting Miss Aidan? Li Hao pretended to be confused and quipped.
"Haha, huh? Why didn't I hear it, you must have heard it wrong. Mike argued with a laugh.
Li Hao didn't want to worry about this with him at all, because he knew Mike's character, just like that, he couldn't beat the character that he couldn't beat.
"Beauty is back, beauty is back...... one of the crowd shouted.
"There?" Mike, who was still chatting with Li Hao, immediately turned his attention away from Li Hao.
At this time, Aidan slowly walked to the middle of the group. A rather bold teenager walked up and said, "Miss Sima." Where did you just go, we're all worried. β
"Who are you? I don't know. Stand aside. Aidan was in a bad mood, and when she saw someone coming up to flatter, she could just find someone to vent.
"Sure enough, it's the legendary ice nobody." Mike sighed when he saw her tantrum look.
"It's good to know, remember, when you see her in the future, you will take a detour, so as not to get into trouble." In order to keep them away from Aidan, Li Hao deliberately added a fire to Aidan's temper.
"That's what I thought too." Sri replied.
"Since you all say so, I'll try to avoid her, and if she comes to me on her own initiative, that's a different story." Mike Road.
"Departure" At this time, the order to set off came from the front of the procession.
β»β»β»
Starting from the military camp in the imperial capital, all the way to the north, more than 200 Warcraft vehicles marched all the way. The strong team naturally attracted the attention of many passers-by.
"Mom, look, there are so many cars." A little girl on the side of the road shouted as she pointed to the long convoy and prepared to approach it. Seeing this, a woman next to her was shocked, quickly stepped forward and hugged the little girl, and said angrily: "You don't want to die." He slapped the little girl on the buttocks. The girl felt the pain coming from her buttocks and immediately cried "Wow Wow" and shouted, "I don't dare, I don't dare...... Woo."
"That little girl is so pitiful!" In the convoy, a man sitting in the car saw this scene and sighed.
"Pathetic? I can't see it. The person who spoke was Li Hao, he and the man happened to be in the same car, and they were right next to him.
"Why?" The man asked.
"The woman was very angry when she saw that the little girl was going to break into the carriage, and this is a sign of love, and you will understand this when you become a father."
"Oh, I see!" The man seemed to understand.
Li Hao continued: "Baird, you didn't discuss it with your family this time, aren't you afraid that they will worry?" "The Baird that Li Hao said is from the second class of the electricity department, and he is doing business at home, so he didn't discuss it with his family this time. He himself believes that he has grown up and that he will have to rely on himself for the future. And he didn't like business very much, and his father forced him to take him in business every day.
"It's fine. I left them a letter, and they will understand when they read it. Baird replied.
"And what did you say in your letter?" Although Li Hao has known him for a short time, he thinks that Baird is too simple-minded, just like a piece of jade.
"What I wrote in the letter was: I'm leaving, I'm going to find my ideals." Baird Road.
"Sure enough, my guess is right, if your parents see your letter, they won't die in a hurry." Li Hao said to him scoundrelly. β¦
"Why? Did I write it clearly? β
"Forget it. Don't talk about it, it's nonsense to talk too much. Li Hao finally said.
At this time, the convoy stopped advancing, and Li Hao stood on top of the car, looked ahead, and shouted, "Why did the front stop?" After that, a reply came from the front: "The captain has an order, everyone gets off the bus to rest, prepares lunch, and eats." Get on the road again. "Orders are given layer by layer.
"It's time to eat, it's finally time to eat." Mike, who was sleeping in the car, stopped sleeping when he heard the meal. Jumped out of the car in one fell swoop.
Abt saw him wake up and joked, "What to eat, the meal has already been eaten, and we were shouting to set off just now." β
Mike usually looks at him as smart, but how stupid is he today, he really believes Abt's words, "What? You don't wake me up when you eat, it's too much of a friend. β
When everyone saw that he really believed it, they all cooperated with Abt and said, "Go." Let's go, let's go. Oops, what a bun I just ate! β
"Don't. Don't, don't go, I haven't eaten yet, do you have any dry food, I'll make do with it first. Mike was really anxious at this time, standing in front of the car, blocking people who were about to get into the car.
Seeing that the joke was almost over, Abt walked up to him with a smile and said, "Hehe, let me go, I'll get in the car and get the pot, if you block me, we won't be able to cook, so everyone will starve at noon." β
"Hahaha............" As soon as Abt finished speaking, everyone present burst into laughter.
Mike understood now, and he roared at Abt: "You kid dare to play me, I'll kill you." Seeing that the situation was not good, Abt immediately ran to the back, and Mike would let him go so easily that he immediately chased after him.
The little farce ended in this way, and Li Hao began to prepare lunch for lunch with the students who came with him.
During the morning's journey, Li Hao and the rest of the academy had mingled and understood why they were here. They all want to get the recognition of the military after this mission and pave the way for their future military careers, which is not much different from Li Hao's purpose.
"Jarvis, you're a fire mage, and you're in charge of lighting the fire." One of the people in the line shouted. This Yalvis is a descendant of a declining aristocracy, a top student in the first class of the magic fire department.
"Got it, Maas, I'm going to get some wood." Jarvis replied. Maas's family is a family of farmers, his ancestors are farmers, and his father also asked him to be a farmer in the future, but he has a good qualification as a fighter, so he sent him to the academy so that he can catch up with a big career in the future.
Judging from the academy students who came this time, they are basically ordinary people, and there are no nobles, because those nobles are ready to graduate, and let their families help them prepare for the future, and those ordinary people who are attached to them are ready to follow these nobles. They certainly don't come here to suffer.
"It's time to eat." As soon as Maas shouted, the students in the academy quickly gathered around Maas.
"Why don't you say the eldest lady can't come to dinner?" Maas saw that all the students they were with, except for Aidan who did not come, all came.
"Whoever cares about her, we just eat, others are the eldest lady, we can't afford to mess with her." The person who spoke was Jarvis, the one who had gone to flatter Aidan this morning, who had been swept away by Aidan at the time, and who was still haunted by him.
"Then shall we just leave her alone?" Abt said at this time that he didn't want such a big beauty to be so hungry, and his "conscience" couldn't get by.
"Then you go and call her." Seeing Abt's concerned tone towards Aidan, Jarvis was quite complaining, and deliberately provoked.
Abt didn't break out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and when he thought of her indifferent language and domineering temper in the morning, he hurriedly retreated: "Hehe, I think the eldest lady must not be hungry yet." ββ¦
"Haha," the crowd laughed.
Aidan on the other side saw them laughing, pursed his mouth, and said, "What are you smiling, a bunch of idiots, the meal is ready." They didn't even come to call me. Aidan was actually very hungry now, and she wanted to go over and get something to eat, but when she saw that there were men on the other side. A little shy, plus she's always had a young temper. Never took the initiative to ask someone, let her go over and say something to give her some food, she really couldn't say it, unless someone else came to invite her.
"Mas, this meal you cooked is so delicious, much better than my mother's." Yaheng said.
"It's like, it's so delicious, it's a shame that Mas doesn't go to be a chef. Really, why don't you think about changing careers? Abt interjected.
"Hehe, forget it, chef, I'm not interested, I don't want to be in the kitchen for the rest of my life." Maas said.
"By the way, I heard that tonight, we are going to camp outside the city of Os, why don't we go to the city for a good meal in the evening. Deepen your relationship with each other. Jarvis said suddenly.
"Okay, I'll raise my hands in approval." Mike was the first to speak.
"That's a good idea." Abt said.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Li Hao, why don't you speak?" Mike saw that everyone present agreed, except for Li Hao. I asked him.
"Say what?" Li Hao came back to his senses and looked at Mike with a blank expression. He had been keeping an eye on Aidan just now, worried if she was hungry, and hadn't heard Mike and their conversation.
"What did you just do? Absent-minded look. Mike asked again.
"It's nothing, I just walked down, by the way, what are you going to ask me?"
"Well, we just talked about going to dinner together in the evening. Enhance the relationship. Now you just haven't said anything, we all said we want to go. β
"At night?" Li Hao thought. If I go there in the evening, what will Aidan do? Leave her alone.
"Statement, do you want to go?" Mike saw that he was in a daze again, and said anxiously.
"I'm still not going, I didn't sleep well last night, I got up early today again, I want to get a good night's sleep tonight, you guys go, next time, next time I invite you all." For some reason, Li Hao chose to accompany Aidan at night.
"Isn't it, you're going to say no?" Mike couldn't believe his ears and finally agreed.
"Well, I'm not going."
"You, you're so disappointed." Mike sighed.
"Mike, okay, since Li Hao said that he was tired, let him rest, didn't he say that he would have a treat next time? We all remember, and when it comes to the next time, we'll all slaughter him again. Abt laughed.
"That's it, it's ......," the crowd said.
After lunch, everyone was cleaning up the work after dinner, but Li Hao was squatting in a corner, he looked around, looking at everyone's eyes. For he was now holding a large bread in his hand, which he had secretly left for Aidan when he had just eaten. And now, he is ready to send her the flatbread without anyone else knowing.
In the afternoon, Li Hao still sat in the car he sat in the morning, and he observed the terrain, towns, and customs on the road all the way. I don't know why? After he set off for the border pass, there was always a voice in his heart that made him remember the road he had walked.
"What is this place and why are there so many forks in the road." When he came to a valley, he found that there were many paths in the valley, which were intertwined, some of which led into the deep valley, some of which penetrated into the trees, and some of which were inserted into the ravine...... and the terrain was so rugged that it dazzled at first sight.
After a while, I heard, "This should be the 'Hero Curtain', right?" Jarvis sighed.
"Hero curtain? What is it? Li Hao saw that he said a place name, so he asked.
"The end of a hero." As Jarvis spoke, his eyes showed a look of sadness, regret, and envy at the same time.
When Li Hao saw YΓ‘rvis's face, he had great curiosity about this 'heroic curtain'.
"You say this is the 'Hero Curtain'?" Mike, who was sleeping, suddenly stood up when he heard the words 'Hero Curtain'.
"You also know this 'Hero Curtain'?" Li Hao asked.
"I heard it when I was a child, but I was too young to understand it, and when I grew up, they wouldn't tell me what it was an imperial ban and forbade me to discuss everything about the 'Hero Curtain'." Mike replied.
"Yes, I don't know why? In that year, the emperor issued an order forbidding the discussion of the 'heroic curtain', otherwise the light would be a hundred leather whips, and the heavy one would be filled with the army. Jarvis said, his tone suddenly strengthening.
"Then what can you tell us about this 'Heroic Curtain'? Why does the empire pay so much attention. Li Hao said.
Yalvis looked at Li Hao and Mike, looked around again, and found that no one was paying attention to them: "I can tell you, but you don't go around talking about it, otherwise you will be unlucky." (To be continued)
