The sentry tower southwest of the training ground.

"There's a strange convoy, and there's no flag!"

On the sentry tower, the left guard observed the convoy in the distance and speculated, "Judging from the way they're marching, they're heading for our training ground!"

"Don't be so alarmed." The right guard held his sword and looked in the direction he pointed. "What if they're just passing through? This is the capital's training ground, not a beacon tower in the wilderness. If the enemy army approaches us, what chaos will it cause outside?"

"General Lin once said that even in times of peace and prosperity, we guards must always keep our eyes open." The left guard straightened his back and said solemnly, "If we are careless now and don't develop good habits, we will suffer in the future when we really go to the battlefield!"

The right guard disagreed and laughed at him: "You just want to make the world uneasy. I hope I will never have to fight a war again. What good is war? It will only bring misery to the people."

"No one wants to fight." The left guard stared at the convoy below without blinking, and whispered: "General Lin also said, if no one offends me, I will not offend others. If someone offends me..."

"Alright, alright, alright!" The right guard's ears were callused from hearing it. "If anyone offends you, you must kill them, right?"

"Ok!"

The right guard was amused by him and also looked towards the convoy below. "I heard that Lord Shen and the Ministry of Works have created a wooden tube that can see far. It's said to be so miraculous that it can identify faces from a thousand steps away! Tell me, how is that possible? Our eyes are given by our parents, how can we see as far as we want?"

The left guard paused and said seriously, "It's possible. Because General Lin also said..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" The right guard covered his ears and shouted, "Hey!" "That convoy... is it really coming for us? Are they delivering something to us?"

The two of them followed the convoy closely.

The left guard only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the convoy stop at the south gate of the training ground and the leader of the convoy get out and go forward to negotiate with the guards at the south gate.

"The guards haven't moved. The ones who came are our own people."

"..."

......

The south gate.

"Is it Lord Shen?" After checking the documents, the guard looked at the cloth-covered carriage and said to Hua Duo, "What's on the carriage? The documents don't mention it, and General Lu didn't tell me Lord Shen would bring anything with him."

"New military equipment." Hua Duo pulled out another document from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, "Documents from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War. We'll know after checking them."

The guard took the document and read it carefully word by word.

As he looked at it, his eyes suddenly widened in shock: "Shen, why did Lord Shen bring these?"

Those objects that only exist in legends, now they all appear at once?

Huaduo did not answer, but led the guard to the front of the carriage and signaled the coachman to lift the cloth to reveal the locked wooden box inside.

She said, "Please, I'll check it according to your rules."

The guard came to his senses and realized that he had asked questions that he shouldn't have asked, so he hurriedly called a few people to check together.

After the convoy entered and walked away, they could no longer hide their excitement.

"Steelware...those are steelware, right?!"

"Of course! My god, that sword is like the moon in the sky. Just the sound of it being unsheathed makes my heart tremble... If I could have one and go into battle and kill the enemy, wow, how majestic would that be?"

"Don't dream! That's a rare commodity, something even generals don't have. How could it possibly fall into our hands? We're only worthy of touching it for a moment."

"You're not going to let me think about it? One or two days won't work, what about one or two years? One or two years won't work, but ten or twenty years will work, right? I just don't believe I'm not worthy of a steel sword in my lifetime!"

After hearing this, the passion that had just subsided in the crowd suddenly began to boil again.

Of course not. We all have to have something to pursue in life, right?

"And what about the steel armor? What do you think? If you pierce the armor with a steel sword, will the sword be sharper or will the armor be stronger?"

"this......"

This question confused the guards again, and they even forgot about the strong bow they had just seen.

......

"drink--!"

"ha--!"

As soon as the convoy arrived outside the main training ground, bursts of loud shouts came like a tidal wave.

When the messenger received the news, he immediately ran into the training ground to report.

In just a moment, Lu Botang came riding over. When he saw the carriage behind Shen Zheng, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Sir Shen!" He dismounted and strode over. "The commander and the county soldiers are at the training ground. I've sent someone to call them. Is this your first time at the training ground? How about... I show you around?"

Shen Zheng's heart skipped a beat as the loud shouts reached her ears. She asked, "Will this... disturb me?"

"You're right!" Lu Botang replied quickly. "They practice theirs, and we watch ours. What's the point of disturbing us? Inside the camp, there are indeed some places with strict rules, but can't we just not go there? I'll take you around the main training grounds. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay!"

Shen Zheng loves to get along with people like Lu Botang.

Just say what you mean, say what you mean, if you like it then it is rare, if you dislike it then you dislike it, there is no need to rack your brains to guess.

In this way, she and Huaduo followed Lu Botang and swaggered into the main training ground.

Maybe it was because the training ground was a place for practicing martial arts, but as soon as Shen Zheng entered, she felt that the air had become two degrees warmer. If she didn't breathe deeply, she would feel a little breathless.

Lu Botang looked at her and smiled: "Can't you breathe? Many people feel this way when they come to the training ground for the first time, because there are so many people, the noise is loud, and the yang energy is strong."

Shen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, there is a little bit. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, General Lu."

But in fact, this was not the first time she had experienced this feeling.

The last time I remember this was during the military training at the beginning of high school.

The school was able to cram all of their freshmen into military training.

As soon as you step into the military camp, the solemn atmosphere hits you in the face, making you feel suffocated.

Looking back now, it seems like a lifetime ago.

"There's nothing to laugh at. You civil servants always speak in a flowery manner." Lu Botang's words brought Shen Zheng back.

After that, he turned around and asked Hua Duo: "Did you bring some water? Give your master a couple of sips, he'll be fine in a while."

Just as Lu Botang said, after drinking the water and relaxing for a while, the discomfort receded like the tide, so that the shouting and yelling that reached his ears seemed to be louder.

"Those soldiers training up ahead are my own." Lu Botang's pride was palpable. "They're all vanguards! Come on, Master Shen, I'll take you to the command platform. You can see more clearly from up there!"

Point the general station?

Shen Zheng hesitated for a moment, "Wouldn't this be too conspicuous?"

Not only did she come to watch the military training, but she also had to stand right in front of the stage to watch? It was as if she was afraid that others would not know she was there...
