At night, Zhao Wuchang walked into the Xishan military exercise ground. After the First World War in Wyvern City, he chose to retire. It was the first time he had stepped into a barracks in more than a decade since he retired. Staying away does not mean forgetting jì, in addition to the nightmare that has been tormenting him, what appears most in the midnight dream over the years is the familiar barracks and the familiar military horn.

Soon, he came to a small independent building. This small building is the brigade headquarters of the Xishan recruit training camp and the temporary residence of Du Yu, the chief instructor of the new training. He hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the sentry at the door.

"Please tell Instructor Du, student Zhao Wuchang asks to see you!" he stopped in front of the cordon.

"Please wait. A sentry hurried in.

"Instructor Du is invited!" The sentry quickly came out, took Zhao Wuchang into the small building, and came to Du Yu's residence.

"Please!" the sentry opened the door.

Through the light, Zhao Wuchang saw the gray-haired Instructor Du sitting at his desk reading a book. Eighteen years have passed, and he still wears the rank of colonel, repeating his promise of "the Flying Dragon Country is not ashamed, and he will not be promoted to a general in this life". With great respect, Zhao Wuchang tidied up his clothes, strode in, and stood in front of the instructor and gave a military salute.

"Student Zhao Wuchang has been an instructor!"

Du Yu didn't respond, and gently flipped the book in his hand. Zhao Wuchang stood silently and waited quietly. Silence is the accumulation of anger in the chest, calm, is the prelude to the coming of the storm. In the past, he was burdened with shame and did not dare to come to see him. But today, for the sake of the young master of the Li family, he must come, and he is ready to be scolded by him.

Half an hour later, Du Yu finally closed the book.

"Who you are, I didn't hear clearly. A kind voice rang out.

"Student Zhao Wuchang has been an instructor!" Zhao Wuchang said loudly.

"Zhao Wuchang?" Du Yu stood up with his hands on the desk, looking at him with blazing eyes. Zhao Wuchang felt a fire scorching his soul.

"No, you're not Zhao Wuchang. Du Yu shook his head violently and said with a sad expression, "My student Zhao Wuchang has died in the Flying Dragon City!"

"The student was ordered to break through and didn't die!" Zhao Wuchang said gloomily.

"He's dead! The defeat in the battle of Flying Dragon City has completely killed him!And you're just a walking corpse!" Du Yu was furious, pointing at him and scolding.

The painful memory, from the moment Zhao Wuchang appeared, devoured the soul of this old man. As the chief instructor of the Campaign and Tactical Command Department of the Military Academy of Haiyue City, he has trained hundreds of students in his life, and has single-handedly held up young generals. Life and death, he has long been downplayed. The battlefield is a stage where the lives of soldiers burst out with brilliant light, and it is also a huge cemetery. However, the battle of the Wyvern still left a bloody wound in his heart.

Li Mubai, the most proud student in his life, died on the battlefield in vain when his military career was in full swing. The prince Long Zhantian, who had the most hope of realizing the great cause of the country's prosperity, also died in that battle, which greatly damaged the vitality of the empire. And his other proud disciple, Zhao Wuchang, chose to retire after leading the army to break through and left his sight.

"Instructor, from the bottom of my heart, I would rather die in that battle. Because I survived, I couldn't bear the huge pressure at all, and I had no way to avenge my dead comrades, so I could only choose to escape in the end. Zhao Wuchang said sadly. The two pillars of the empire were defeated in one fell swoop, and everywhere he went, he was met with contemptuous stares and stern questioning. Someone had to take the responsibility for failure, and he became a sinner in the eyes of everyone.

"Don't make excuses for yourself, you were ridiculously wrong from the start! In the face of unpredictable battlefields, no general can win a hundred battles. I have told you that a famous general is not invincible, but a general who is ashamed of defeat, and brave after shame. Du Yu reprimanded angrily, "You are wrong to rely on Mu Bai too much, he lives, you live in his shadow to share his glory, and after he dies, you live in his shadow and bear the shame that belongs to him." You have forgotten that the prestige of your impermanent general was fought for at the cost of your life and blood! You have also forgotten that as a soldier, you should be loyal to this country, not to the Li family!"

After Zhao Wuchang heard his words, the humiliation he had endured for more than ten years suddenly exploded. He said excitedly: "I'm not loyal to the Li family, I just lost hope." Instructor, the Flying Dragon lost the first battle, have you ever seen the ugly faces of those nobles who are greedy for life and afraid of death? After General Xiao blocked the army of the Rising Sun, the Empire finally reached a humiliating "Peace Treaty of the Flying Dragon" with the Rising Sun Empire. The Battle of the Flying Dragon thus became a national shame, and the military flag of the Western Expeditionary Army became an exhibit of the Rising Sun Empire, and the souls of the dead soldiers had nowhere to go. What can I, Zhao Wuchang, do to defy the sky, and what can I do to be ashamed?"

"Any military means must serve the government. We have lost, and concessions are necessary. But peace does not mean long-term peace. I'm training a group of recruits here today, don't you feel something abnormal?" Du Yu's feelings calmed down a little, and he looked at him and said coldly.

"The form of the northwest should be getting worse, right?" Zhao Wuchang sighed lightly.

"Although the world is peaceful, forgetting the war will be dangerous, and His Majesty's mind is sober. Du Yu nodded, "After more than ten years of peace, although the empire's national strength has increased, it is still at a military disadvantage. Once the internal contradictions intensify, the external pressure will also explode. By then, a storm may have arrived. If you don't take the initiative to make a difference, then I can sue you, you can keep the ancestral hall of the Li family, but you can't keep the glory created by the martyrs of the Li family!"

Zhao Wuchang was silent.

"I'm tired of scolding, you sit down!" Du Yu pulled out the drawer, took out a bag of tea, made two cups of tea, and brought it to the sofa.

"The tea that Mu Bai gave me, I have not been willing to drink it, it's rare for you to come, let's taste it together. ”

The two sat silently, caught up in the memories of the past. Du Yu remembered Li Mubai's eloquent and high-spirited appearance in the tactics class, remembered the smug laughter when he led the surprise attack command to capture the dean during his study at the academy, and remembered the pride when he ran to salute his colonel as soon as he was promoted to major general. Zhao Wuchang, on the other hand, recalled the good times when they climbed the wall together to go out for supper and nightclubs, recalled the passionate years when they fought with the military police of the Supervision Department, and recalled the deep friendship of helping each other out of the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield again and again.

"I'm curious, you've endured it for eighteen years, why can't you help but come to see me today?" Du Yu put down the teacup and looked at Zhao Wuchang, smiling.

"For one of your recruits. Zhao Wuchang replied. Then, he told Du Yu everything he knew about Zhu Xiaoqi. He has nothing to hide from the instructor, because he regards him as a master and a father like Li Mubai. He believed that after Du Yu listened to his words, he would definitely defend his righteous son as he did Li Mubai.

The unexpected news made Du Yu inexplicably excited. When regrets can't be remedied, we always look forward to new surprises to dilute them.

"Is this kid so magical? If that's the case, then you have to cultivate it well!" Du Yu was overjoyed.

"Seedlings are good, but they need time to grow. Instructor, I came to you today because I didn't want him to get involved in the royal family's disputes. Zhao Wuchang nodded.

Du Yu fell into deep thought.

The Xishan training camp has indeed become the focus of Haiyue City. Seamoon City's recruits are unusually intensively trained, which is unusual. The arrival of the wolf killing rider instructor also caused a sensation in the city. This not only reflects the importance that the empire attaches to this recruit training, but also means that General Xiao gradually left the heavy army and returned to the center of power in the empire. This person was born from the grassroots, and relied on his talent to step by step to the pinnacle of power, becoming the first person in today's military circles. He has always been clean and self-conscious, never intervening in factional disputes, and is Long Xiaotian's most trusted confidant.

From the analysis of various signs, Du Yu believes that the arrangement of this Xishan training camp is a warning from the emperor to his two sons: in addition to them, he has a third choice.

This is a balance of power, but also a redistribution of power. From this point of view, this is also a rare opportunity for Zhu Xiaoqi, who was born in Dusk Xuewei.

As soon as he thought of this, Du Yu said: "I will pay close attention to his situation and then make a decision." If he's good, I think we should give him a chance. ”

"It's up to the instructor to decide!" he said, and Zhao Wuchang was immediately relieved. Du Yuren is old and refined, and if he puts Zhu Xiaoqi in his hands, he will definitely not suffer.

"If I can do something for Mu Bai, I can drink the tea he sent with peace of mind. Du Yu smiled. PS: This chapter was written in a bit of a hurry because the mind could not be calmed. A call came from home to say that my one-year-old son also had a cold and fever, and that I might have infected the child. Although I really want to go back and see him immediately, I still insist on finishing this chapter, and I can't owe everyone every day. On weekends, I will work hard and write more. Please support Xiaobu more. Thank you!
