He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

"Look at the captain's body, so many scars and bullet holes."

"Yes, the captain is a hero."

"Haha, you guys don't know, do you? The captain's title is Peerless Hero."

……

Ignoring Leyou's cries, the master raised his horsewhip and lashed it hard at Leyou.

Seeing the disappointment in his master's eyes, Leyou lowered his head and remained silent, tears streaming down his face.

"Snapped"

"A general who is brave but lacks strategy should be executed."

"Snapped"

"A general who is impatient and easily angered deserves a beating."

"Snapped"

"A general who values ​​integrity and a good reputation should be punished."

"Snapped"

"A general should be concerned with the people's troubles."

Do you want me to hit you?

With each question from his master, he would strike her, and several bloody marks appeared on Hunkuaiyou's body, from which blood began to flow.

Seeing that Leyou lowered his head and remained silent, the master raised the whip and lashed him hard again.

"Say something!"

"A general should be vigilant at all times, but not only did you not wipe your teeth, you committed all the cardinal sins. If you don't wake up today, I'll beat you to death."

"clap clap"

"clap clap"

After being lashed more than a dozen times, Leyou was covered in blood, which dripped continuously down his pants and onto the ground.

Meanwhile, the students on the periphery kept pleading with their master.

Leyou trembled slightly as she raised her head to glance at her master, then lowered it again.

The master, enraged, was about to raise his riding whip again when he was stopped by the two instructors, Zhu, standing nearby.

Instructor Zheng quickly untied the ropes and put Leyou down.

Instructor Li picked up the clothes from the ground and put them on Leyou.

Instructor Zhou walked to his master's side and said softly:

"Master Dao, let alone Leyou, even I feel indignant. It's only natural, after all, we've all experienced the brutal slaughter at the hands of the enemy."

"Take him home and let him rest for a while. We'll talk about the rest later. I'll ask for leave for him."

Thank you so much!

After the master finished speaking, he clasped his hands in thanks to the martial arts instructors around him.

Then he walked over to Leyou, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and untied the ropes binding his hands.

One hand gripped his neck, while the other grabbed Leyou's belt and lifted him up forcefully.

A burly man weighing 180 pounds hoisted him onto his shoulder and strode quickly toward the school gate.

The students around were stunned; my friends were truly amazed.

"Even at his advanced age, Master Dao remains as imposing as ever,"

Yes, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

Indeed, many people today are unaware of the major taboos for generals in handling affairs, only knowing the major taboos in warfare.

……

Several martial arts instructors looked at each other and talked amongst themselves.

……

Master walked swiftly and quickly, ignoring the whispers of passersby, and soon arrived at the rented courtyard.

"Master, how is the prince?"

Jingxian looked at Leyou on her master's shoulder and asked nervously.

"It's alright. Have Huang Ying boil some water. Later, you can wipe off the bloodstains and apply the medicine. With this kid's health, it'll scab over in a day."

Master carried Leyou to the east room, turned to Jingxian and said,

“Okay, okay.”

Jingxian hurriedly went to the back room to call Huang Ying to boil water.

The master who had put down Leyou watched him silently, took a deep breath, and walked out of the room into the main hall.

Meanwhile, the magnolia flower was sitting cross-legged with its back turned.

Magnolia flower

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Sigh, I thought that making you your senior brother's bodyguard would ensure everything was foolproof, but I never expected that years of military campaigns wouldn't teach him rationality."

"His weaknesses have all been exposed. I should have thought of that sooner. Along the way, he has been desperately helping the people, delivering guns and food. As one of the three major religions, he has also been associating with the lowest of the low, the barely-known sects."

"You'll be coming to military academy with me tomorrow for a bit of training. I'll find someone to let you audit a class, but it'll be tough on you."

Mulan looked quietly at her master, her eyes red, and said:

"Master, please don't say that. If it weren't for my senior brother and you back then, Huang Ying and I would have been captured and sold long ago."

Even if we escaped using our light-footed skills, there was nowhere for us to settle down in this vast land. We had witnessed far too much horror along the way.

"Good child, I hope you won't blame me later."

The master stroked the magnolia flower's head and murmured.

After a while, the master brought out a set of Leyou's clothes for Mulan to change into, and then led her out of the courtyard to a barber.

Amidst the magnolia's regretful tears, her long, smooth hair was transformed into a buzz cut.

Then, after taking Mulan to the entrance of the military academy and having the gatekeeper inform Instructor Zheng, he said to Mulan:

"In the military academy, you were called Mulan. You were Instructor Zheng's disciple and came to join him."

After saying that, he took out seven or eight small gold beans from his pocket and gave them to Mulan.

A moment later, Instructor Zheng, accompanied by several martial arts instructors, came out to greet them.

After a brief conversation, the two followed the others to a small open space next to the dormitory.

Six martial arts instructors surrounded their master and launched an attack.

Mulan watched the scene unfold nervously, constantly cursing the instructors.

"bump"

"what"

"唔"

……

With a few angry shouts, Mulan saw six instructors kicked to the ground, while her master's right leg was raised above his head.

After a few deliberate actions, the instructors slowly rose from the ground, raised their hands in a fist salute, and began to demonstrate their fist techniques, sword techniques, halberd techniques, and so on.

The master would give instructions from the side, occasionally sparring with the red-tasseled spear.

And so it went, back and forth, with each side giving and receiving.

As the sky began to darken, the master jumped out of the encirclement, clasped his hands in a fist salute to each of the six instructors, and then looked at Mulan, nodding to her.

He then turned and walked towards the school gate.

Instructor Zhang led Mulan towards the dormitory.

……

"Master, dinner's ready."

The master had just stepped into the courtyard when he heard the warbling of the oriole.

Meanwhile, Nianmin, nestled in Huang Ying's arms, kept reaching out his hands to grab at his master.

The master laughed heartily, then came over, hugged Nianmin, and walked into the main hall.

In the central hall, Leyou watched her master approach, then lowered her head and remained silent.

"Hmph, lift your head."

A true man can bend and stretch; look at you, you coward!

"Just looking at it makes me furious."

The master slammed his fist on the table and cursed.

Jingxian quickly went to her master's side and whispered a prayer:

"Sir, please forgive my brother. It's just that the villagers have suffered so much, and they've endured so many cruel things."

The oriole beside them quickly added:

"Master, Master, where is Sister Mulan? I can't find her!"

The master hesitated for a moment, then touched Nianmin's hand and said to Leyou:

"You'll be doing your homework with me these next few days; don't worry about anything else for now."

Then he said to the oriole:

"Mulan is going on a long trip and will be back in a while. Thank you for your hard work during this time."

Although Huang Ying was puzzled, she immediately replied:

"Yes, sir, I will take good care of the household."

"Okay, everyone, let's eat."

After their master finished speaking and saw that he had started eating, Leyou and the others began to eat as well.
