Women dressed as men: powerful officials

When it was just getting light, Xu Yuan and Zhang Yue got up.

The things were packed up early in the morning.

Zhang Qingyi found a donkey cart that could take two people to the military camp.

Zhang Yue didn't bring much with him, just a bag filled with some clothes and the books Xu Wenxian gave him.

Watching Xu Yuan and Zhang Yue's backs, several people had tears in their eyes, but no one spoke.

The weather has become cold.

The wind blowing on my face was particularly cold.

Xu Yuan gathered her sleeves and pinned up her veil, revealing only a pair of eyes. She stared at the rising sun and said, "Cousin, we probably won't get to the military camp until the afternoon. When you get there, I'll see if you need anything. I'll find a place nearby to stay overnight so I can buy you some things tomorrow."

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Zhang Yue immediately said, "No need. It's so hard for you to run back and forth. I'm not that delicate."

"How can that be? Take today for example. It's so cold, and it will definitely get colder later. You didn't wear knee pads yesterday. Do you want to be like my dad in the future, with knee pain every time it's cloudy or rainy?"

"I am different from my uncle."

"But I want to make it more complete for you."

"Well then." Zhang Yue leaned back on the donkey cart and couldn't help but sighed, "Zhiguo, I never thought before that I could join the army."

"I haven't thought about it either." Xu Yuan smiled.

She had this idea, but she didn't know that Zhang Yue could persist in the martial arts school, and she didn't know that Zhang Yue was talented in this area.

"When I become a general, you will be his younger brother, and we can let them enjoy a peaceful life."

Hearing Zhang Yue's words, Xu Yuan suddenly remembered what happened to her family in her previous life. She continued, "Yes, everything will get better slowly. We, as a family, will be together forever."

At noon, the sun grew brighter.

Xu Yuan and Zhang Yue finally arrived at the military camp.

The soldiers from Sishui County were called the Dingbei Army because they guarded the defense line north of Tianqi.

The Dingbei Army was stationed at the border between Sishui County and the desert.

There were rows of tents standing tall, and patrolling soldiers coming and going.

Probably because today is the day to join the army, there are young men of about Zhang Yue's age everywhere. At the same time, there are more soldiers patrolling the barracks.

"Zhiguo." Zhang Yue looked at the people coming and going, tugged at Xuyuan's sleeve, and asked, "With so many people, do you think I can be chosen?"

"Of course." A faint smile appeared on Xu Yuan's face. She clasped her hands together and put them in her sleeves, quietly looking at the people coming and going.

"Brother, you know martial arts, horse riding and archery, and you understand military tactics. You are already far superior to many people."

As Xuyuan finished speaking, someone walked by and whispered, "When I went to register yesterday, I saw Cheng Jie's name. Do you think the Cheng family deliberately invited a teacher because they were planning to send Cheng Jie to the military camp?"

"That's hard to say. Why didn't the little devil Cheng Jie get burned to death in the school?"

"Don't say it, be careful if someone hears it and gets in trouble with you."

"But is the gentleman hired by the Cheng family really that capable?"

"He's from the capital, so he must be a powerful one! We should stay away from him."

After hearing what several people said, Zhang Yue's face almost immediately turned dark.

Xuyuan was not too surprised.

Seeing Xu Yuan's expression, Zhang Yue couldn't help but ask, "Zhiguo, what should we do if we run into Cheng Jie again? Why is he haunting us?"

Zhang Yue hasn't seen Cheng Jie since he lost the last time playing dice.

He practiced martial arts every day and was so busy that he never even thought about the existence of such a person.

"Who is the haunting?"

A cold voice came from behind the two people.

Xu Yuan and Zhang Yue turned around at the same time.

Cheng Jie stood not far away. He was wearing a mink robe, holding a heater in his arms, and had a rather arrogant look on his face.

The warm winter sun fell on Cheng Jie, adding a winner's glow to him.

Xuyuan only glanced at him, his eyes full of disgust, "I mean you, what's wrong?"

"I was planning to let you go, but I didn't expect Zhang Yue to dare to enter the military camp."

Cheng Jie said, and walked slowly to Xu Yuan, lowering his voice and said: "Xu Yuan, Song Xiujing is gone, do you think I am still afraid of you?"

"Really? I think it was you who got scared away last time, not me."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly, but his eyes were cold.

Although she is not tall, she has a commanding temperament and is not much inferior to Cheng Jie.

On the contrary, he is even more powerful than Cheng Jie.

There wasn't much noise here, but because Cheng Jie was there, many people looked over curiously.

When Cheng Jie mentioned the incident of running away in fear, his face suddenly changed and he immediately shouted, "You are looking for death!"

"You can't pretend anymore?" Xu Yuan smiled, his tone even more calm, "I heard that the Cheng family hired a teacher from the capital specifically for you. When I first saw you, I really thought you had changed your ways and become calmer, but I didn't expect you to be as stupid as ever."

"Make a wish!"

Cheng Jie was furious. He raised his fist to hit him, but before his fist landed, Zhang Yue grabbed it tightly.

Zhang Yue stared at Cheng Jie, "Cheng Jie, what's the matter? You still want to beat my brother in front of me? Look at your mediocre skills. Your teacher is hired for nothing!"

The scene remained silent for a long time.

Most of the people present were of the same age. Although no one knew what the conflict between these three people was, Cheng Jie was a well-known bully.

In Sishui County, there are few people who can make Cheng Jie lose face.

"What's this man's name?"

"He knows martial arts?"

"I learned a little from the martial arts master. Look how steady your legs are. I must have learned it."

"Cheng Jie is really a wicked man who gets his comeuppance!"

"Finally someone is here to take care of Cheng Jie. It really makes people happy."

Hearing the words around him, Cheng Jie's face became darker and darker, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue sneered, shook off Cheng Jie's hand and said, "Cheng Jie, I haven't settled the score with you yet! But you're the first to act arrogantly. I tell you, if you want to bully my brothers, you have to step over me first!"

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, he stood in front of Xu Yuan like a mountain.

He clenched his fists and his eyes were cold.

It was the first time that Xu Yuan saw Zhang Yue like this.

In the past, Zhang Yue was impulsive and did things without considering the consequences, but she didn't know when Zhang Yue gradually calmed down. If that was the case, she could really let Zhang Yue stay in the military camp without any worries.

Because no one can hurt Zhang Yue anymore, including Cheng Jie.

Cheng Jie didn't say anything.

On the other side, an old man slowly walked over. After seeing the situation in front of him, he cupped his hands and said, "Young Master, I wonder what the young master of the Cheng family did to make you so angry?"

Hearing the old man's slow voice, Xu Yuan looked up.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the teacher that the Cheng family hired for Cheng Jie.

When Uncle Song arrived, Cheng Jie seemed to have found his backbone. He hurried to Uncle Song and started to complain: "Uncle Song! You are finally here. It was these two guys who bullied me!"
