The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 85 Gu Bei's Challenge

Two days passed in a flash, and Su Zheng seemed to have a great talent for medicine. After reading the pharmacopoeia, most of its contents were deeply imprinted in his mind. After reading this entry-level pharmacopoeia, he opened another medical book with great expectation. Surprisingly, this book was written by Doctor Yao. However, what he held in his hand was not the original, but a copy carefully excerpted and copied by the Yao family. This precious book recorded in detail the distribution of acupuncture points and meridians in the human body.

However, due to the lack of guidance, Su Zheng could not fully understand the mystery for the time being. Therefore, he could only silently keep these valuable knowledge in mind, hoping to find the right person to answer his questions in the future. At the same time, Su Lun was also very busy during these two days. Part of the corn planted in the fields that the emperor had rewarded him with had been harvested. This year, the Dashun Kingdom has been blessed with good weather and good harvests. Since this was the first time he dealt with the tenants, Su Lun was particularly generous and waived half of their rent. For this, everyone was grateful and worked harder and more energetically.

Unfortunately, Su Lun really has no time to deal with these matters now, so he handed all matters over to Butler Su to take care of them. In this way, he can devote himself to his own affairs.

After two days of hard training, Su Lun's archery skills have reached an amazing level. He shot 100 arrows in a row, and 98 of them hit the bull's eye accurately! Qingfeng, who was watching from the side, was so surprised that he wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed in his heart: "This is not a genius, it's simply a monster!"

Tomorrow he will report for duty. Under the guidance of Qingfeng, Su Lun came to the camp. Apparently, the soldiers guarding the camp were very familiar with Qingfeng. When they learned that Su Lun was the incoming Captain Su, they immediately bowed respectfully and invited the two to enter the camp. However, Su Lun did not want to enjoy special treatment just because he had not officially taken office. He politely rejected the good intentions of the guards and said that he would come to the camp after he officially took office.

This humble and down-to-earth attitude made Qingfeng appreciate him even more. Su Lun knew that as a lieutenant, he needed to set an example and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers in order to win their respect and trust. So he decided to get familiar with the environment and atmosphere of the camp before officially taking office so as to better integrate into the group.

Today's guard was named Gu Bei, a lieutenant. He had heard of Su Lun's great reputation, but had never seen his true face. Now that he saw him, he was surprised to find that he was such a gentle and polite young man. So, he couldn't help but chat with others outside the camp out of curiosity.

It turned out that Gu Bei was the nephew of Madam Xiao's family. Madam Xiao's family had been civil officials for generations, but only this military general was born. He had heard his uncle mention Su Lun, and his words were full of praise. Not only that, even his cousin, who had always looked down on others, seemed to look at Su Lun differently. Thinking of this, Gu Bei couldn't help but want to compete with him.

He took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "Captain Su, I have heard of your great name for a long time! I am pleased to meet you today and I find that your reputation is well-deserved. I wonder if you would do me the honor of competing with me tomorrow? This will also allow everyone to broaden their horizons and see the extraordinary demeanor of a young hero." As he said this, there was a hint of provocation in his eyes, and it was obvious that he wanted to test Su Lun's true strength.

Su Lun was a little surprised, but he was definitely not a coward. He thought for a moment and then said, "If the army allows this, there will be no problem. But the rumors outside are a bit exaggerated. Lord Gu, please show some mercy."

Gu Bei raised his eyebrows and responded, "Then let's compete on the parade ground tomorrow! There are still many important matters waiting for me to deal with in the army. I'm sorry I can't stay long. Goodbye." As soon as he finished speaking, he gave a standard military salute and hurried back to the camp.

Watching the other person walking away, Su Lun became curious and turned to ask Qingfeng beside him: "Qingfeng, have you known this Captain Gu before? What is he like? Why do I always feel that he seems to have a bit of hostility towards me?"

Qingfeng answered truthfully, "Captain Gu is the nephew of the general's wife's family. He is already 20 years old this year. However, he started as a soldier at the bottom and rose up step by step. He did not rely on his family background to enjoy privileges. You can say that he is young and promising! Maybe because of this, he wants to compete with you? After all, strong people always appreciate each other."

As Su Lun walked, he stroked his chin and muttered, "He sounds like a tough opponent! I don't think I'll be beaten to a pulp on the first day..."

After hearing this, Qingfeng quickly took over the conversation and comforted him, "Captain Su, don't worry too much. In my opinion, Captain Gu is indeed powerful, but compared to you, he is probably still a little inferior. If we fight alone, he probably won't be your opponent."

After hearing this, Su Lun touched his head, revealed a simple smile, and responded: "You do have confidence in me. My skills are just average. Why do you make me sound like I'm awesome..."

Qingfeng couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand and smiled bitterly, saying: "Captain Su, do you have any misunderstandings about your own strength? Anyway, as far as I can see, in close combat, I have never met someone as agile and neat as you. Moreover, in just a few days, you have even mastered the archery skills so accurately. If such strength is only considered average, then I really don't know how others can survive..."

"Are you serious?" There was a hint of doubt on Su Lun's face. There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone, as if he was not so confident about the answer.

However, Qingfeng nodded without hesitation and answered affirmatively: "Of course it is more real than real gold! As long as you play at your normal level, basically you won't have any problems competing with anyone."

After Su Lun heard this, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He exhaled gently, and his tense nerves relaxed. He looked at Qingfeng gratefully and said with a smile: "You really think highly of me, but I will definitely work hard! I will try not to let you down." After saying this, his eyes became firm and confident, as if he was ready to face the challenge.

Qingfeng looked at Su Lun's changes and felt relieved. He knew that Su Lun was a person with great strength and potential, but he sometimes lacked confidence. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really picked up a good talent.
