"I can't help it!" A shout rang out from the crowd, and as soon as I heard it, I could recognize it as Zhu Gaoxu's voice, and he finally came. Following the sound, I saw him cowering and walking out of the sergeant team, and he didn't dare to look at Zhu Di with his eyes, so he only trotted to Zhu Neng's side and whispered: "Old Zhu, she is my soldier, not a spy, she must have entered the team by mistake." ”

Zhu Neng frowned, and asked in disbelief: "Really?" ”

"It really can't be more real."

But in public, how could he not be heard by Zhu Di, he shouted: "Zhu Gaoxu, what are you messing around?" Zhu Gaoxu was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head and shouted: "Father...... Marshal. ”

There are really no fathers and sons in the army, only superiors and subordinates, and he realized that he had called the wrong name and immediately changed his words.

Zhu Di's face became more and more sunk, and there was anger in his eyes, "This is in the army, how can you be allowed to be so nonsense!" ”

"I ......" Zhu Gaoxu wanted to argue, but after looking at me, he swallowed the words back.

Immediately afterwards, I listened to Zhu Dishen's order: "Zhu Gaoxu does not abide by military discipline, does not strictly manage his subordinates, and orders to beat thirty military sticks, do you accept it?" When Zhu Neng heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Marshal, this ......" but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Di again: "Zhu Gaoxu, are you convinced?" Under this suppression, Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to put forward even if he had an opinion, so he had to bow his head and admit it: "Obey." ”

At this time, I couldn't be silent, I got up from the ground and was about to speak, but Ah Ping spoke first: "Marshal, I didn't see clearly in the distance just now, but when I got closer, I found that this soldier was one of my personal guards, Ah Xu must have brought him to me, I didn't think that I had strayed into the barracks to make such a big noise." Here, the subordinates will first sue the marshal, and please be lenient. ”

Ah Ping spoke, a hundred times stronger than my identity at this time, so I shut up. Thinking that Zhu Neng was very concerned about Zhu Gaoxu, he immediately persuaded him when he heard Ah Ping say this: "Marshal, this is all a misunderstanding, and the subordinates don't know that this soldier is His Royal Highness's personal guard, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, Xiao Zhu's thirty military sticks will be exempted." ”

Zhu Di swept Zhu Gaoxu with cold eyes, and then glanced at me again, and inexplicably felt that the light in his eyes made me a little scared. I only heard him say slowly: "Although the misunderstanding has been eliminated, Zhu Gaoxu is suspected of violating military discipline, since he led the deputy marshal to personally guard, why did he not bring people to the stage and fell into the soldiers' seriousness, if he caused a trampling accident just now, what should he be guilty of?" Thinking that he is still responsible, and the matter has not reached the worst situation, the thirty military sticks will be reduced to ten, and no corners will be cut, and the commander will personally supervise it. ”

As soon as his words fell, Zhu Gaoxu's face was frightened, and even Zhu Neng on the side was moved. And Zhu Di looked around and asked in a loud voice: "Who brought it into the position?" ”

The previous squad leader came out of the ranks, including nearly ten people led by him, also walked out of the team, "It's the lowly people who are clumsy." ”

"It is one of the sins of you to draw soldiers into camp without asking questions; No one immediately came forward to take responsibility after the incident, which is the second crime. The two crimes were punished the same, and Zhu Gaoxu was guilty of the same crime, and each person was given ten military sticks. ”

I can be regarded as seeing Zhu Di's strict management of the army, even if that person is his son, he treats everyone equally. After Shen ordered it, he turned around and said to Ah Ping: "Wei'er, I'll let someone send you back first, but let the military doctor take a look at your personal guards to see if they are injured." ”

I know if I was injured or not, at most I hit a bruised knee when I fell, and it was fine. Zhu Gaoxu and these soldiers are going to be punished because of me, how can I just leave? When he came to Ah Ping's side, he asked in a low voice, "Can I leave later?" Ah Ping ignored my question and looked straight at me, "But Youyang?" ”

I shook my head, and looked at Zhu Di hesitantly speaking: "Can you ......" was blocked by Ah Ping as he only said two words, and heard him say: "Marshal, since I have entered the camp with the army, I am a member of the army, and please don't treat me as the imperial grandson in the palace anymore." Zhu Di's eyes were shining, and he couldn't read the emotions inside, so he only nodded.

Soon, someone moved several benches, and Zhu Gaoxu and the others were put on the chairs, and they didn't need to be bound, they circled the benches with their hands to control their bodies. I was stunned at the sight of the punitive baton, did it need to be so coarse?

Suddenly, I realized that my insistence on staying and persuading did not help Zhu Gaoxu, but hurt him. Because it was originally only Zhu Neng's execution, not to mention that the number of boards could be reduced, at least the law enforcers could be light-hearted, but now not only Zhu Di is watching, but even Ah Ping, the imperial grandson, is watching, who dares to cut corners?

That stick goes down, and it hurts just to listen to it. But those soldiers, including Zhu Gaoxu, gritted their teeth and endured it, and they didn't even snort. After the beating of the ten army sticks, I didn't pay much attention to the others, but Zhu Gaoxu's face was really pale, and his feet were trembling when he was helped to the ground. Zhu Di finally relented: "Pass on the military doctor Hu to give them all medicine." ”

Seeing them being helped away, it was hard for me not to feel sad in my heart, so much so that Ah Ping and Zhu Di didn't pay attention to what they were saying. When I came back to my senses, Ah Ping had already asked me to go with him, and Zhu Di went with me.

When someone came out of the camp, someone brought horses, and heard Zhu Di ask: "There is no carriage in the army, is there a problem with riding back?" ”

"It's all right, she can ride a horse with me." Ah Ping replied in a shallow voice.

I'm really new to horseback riding, just because I've been in a carriage doesn't mean I can ride a horse, and I usually feel intimidated by looking at tall and handsome black horses. And I've never seen Ah Ping riding a horse, so I can't help but beat the drum in my heart.

Ah Ping wanted to help me climb onto the horse, but the horse did not cooperate, and began to move when I pedaled up, and after a few attempts I even sweated on my forehead but did not climb onto the horse. Ah Ping helped me off the horse and stood still on the ground, and whispered to me, "I'll get on the horse first, and then I'll pull you up later." ”

I nodded in agreement, the big black horse is clearly a bully, I didn't cooperate at all when I climbed up just now, and when Ah Ping got on the horse, he was obedient. Step on, lift, sit down, and move skillfully and in one go.

Ah Ping bent down slightly and stretched out his hand to me, put his hand in his palm and pushed up again with that force, but I really didn't know how to grasp the center of gravity, and my body began to shake in mid-air, and an unstable person was about to fall backwards, only to feel a force on my waist to hold me from falling off the horse, and I rode on the momentum, and finally fell behind the horse.

When I turned my head and saw that the person who helped me just now was Zhu Di, I couldn't help but be surprised. There was no emotion in his eyebrows, and he only commanded: "Remember to clamp your legs between the horse's body." Ah Ping chuckled, "Thank you, Uncle Wang." ”

After that, Zhu Di also rode a brown horse and rode parallel to Ah Ping to the city. Maybe it's because I think about it, Ah Ping's horseback riding speed is not fast, that is, let the horse trot, and ride a stick of incense on the five-mile road.

When they entered the city, they no longer let the horses run, but slowed down and paced. At this time, it was almost dusk, and most of the people who came and went in the city were soldiers, and the common people basically did not see it, and some of them shrank behind the door and looked out.

I only heard Zhu Di say in a deep voice: "The people were harmed by the Northern Yuan army, and they were very frightened when they saw the army, and they didn't dare to see people. ”

Suddenly, seeing a child rushing to the road and throwing something this way, Ah Ping reacted quickly and pulled the reins in time to avoid it. There was a crunch sound, and when I looked down, an egg was smashed on the ground.

The boy pointed at us and shouted, "Bad guy! You're all bad guys! ”

Zhu Neng, who came back with Zhu Di, was furious when he saw this: "Whose child is this?" Someone, arrest him. ”

Immediately, a soldier stepped forward to hold the child in custody, but when he saw that the door of the house that was still closed was suddenly opened, a woman ran out and knelt on the ground crying and begging: "Please let the adults bypass this child, his father and mother have been ravaged to death by the Northern Yuan army, and he is the only seedling left." He was still ignorant, and when he saw the army, he thought it was the Northern Yuan Army, which is why he acted so angrily. ”

Zhu Di heard the words and ordered: "Let him go." ”

As soon as the soldier let go of the child, he rushed towards him, crying out: "You killed my father and mother, and I will fight with you." "But who does a child have the ability to fight with? In the end, he was frightened by the horse's hoofs and fell to the ground, and began to cry, crying so that everyone present felt sad.

Hearing Zhu Di say to Zhu Neng: "Let's see if you can organize him into the army, or make another arrangement." ”

"Wait a minute." As soon as my brain was hot, I couldn't help but speak, and everyone's eyes were met, and even Ah Ping, who was sitting in front of me, turned his head to look at me. I knew that I shouldn't open this mouth as my personal guard at this moment, but looking at the crying child on the ground, I still stubbornly pleaded: "Can you not integrate him into the army?" ”

Many people may think that the child's parents were killed by the Northern Yuan army, and the military camp is the best place for him to go, and after time training, he can go into battle to kill the enemy to avenge his parents, which is also the best place for this child. But I don't think so.

He is only a teenager, and his miserable life is indeed touching and sympathetic, but do you really want him to live in hatred from now on and live for revenge all his life? How many years can you live? This time the battle was won, so what about the next one? Once the success is achieved, the bones will be withered, and the success of a battle will require how many bones to be landfilled.

If I hadn't met me, I wouldn't have had so much compassion, but since I did, I hope I can help this child. Hatred is definitely not a reason for a person to live, the dead are gone, and the living should bring back the share of the dead.
