Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Upon hearing this, the soldiers indeed worked even harder, all wanting to assure the newly returned general of their capabilities.

"Hehe, the title of our general is really useful. Saying it like that makes everyone much more motivated than before." Zhao Zhonglie had certainly made a good plan.

"I naturally trust the soldiers you train."

Besides Shi Si and Shi Jiu, who were on duty today, the other eight were also training at the training ground. They came not only to protect Shi Qi, but also to go to the battlefield with him.

The two gradually walked to their side, and Zhao Zhonglie couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of someone personally trained by the general, their qualities are truly excellent." His tone was full of admiration.

Shi Qi stopped the group of people who wanted to salute, saying, "After all, we weren't taught the way the soldiers taught us..." The implication was that he hadn't planned to bring them along.

Zhao Zhonglie also understood Shi Qi's unspoken meaning: "They are indeed good children who know how to repay kindness."

Shi Qi stepped forward and corrected Shi San's movements as he was shooting an arrow: "Raise your hand a little higher, and put it flat."

Shi San obediently corrected himself, but he never dared to look at Shi Qi: "Thank you, General."

Shi Qi noticed his unusual behavior: "Shi San, what's wrong?"

007 stared intently at Shi San, afraid he might let something slip. If he did, his host would definitely cause him trouble.

"General, I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night." Clearly, he wasn't one to lie.

Seeing that Shi San was unwilling to tell the truth, Shi Qi did not force him: "Then you should rest early today."

Seeing this, 007 breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, his host wasn't one to meddle in other people's business...

On the seventh day in the military camp, Yi Xuan and... Fu Yunwan came to comfort the soldiers?

Upon seeing Shi Qi for the first time, Yi Xuan was stunned. Shi Qi was young, and now, dressed in military uniform and armor, he looked every bit the young general, his black hair tied up high, exuding a rather unrestrained and flamboyant air...

Yixuan's favorability +5

Seeing this, Shi Qi was a little confused. There was no reason why Yi Xuan would bring Fu Yunwan to this military camp, which was almost entirely composed of men. But he still respectfully led the group into the camp.

In truth, Yi Xuan himself was quite speechless. Yesterday, he ordered his men to prepare to go to the military camp, but Fu Yunwan, who was in the inner palace, found out. He found it strange; how could Fu Yunwan always be so well-informed? He even wanted to borrow her palace servants who gathered information.

That afternoon, Fu Yunwan came to see her: "Your Majesty, I heard that you are going to the military camp tomorrow to comfort the soldiers. May I go with you?"

Yi Xuan frowned: "The army is full of men, why is the Empress going to join in the fun?"

Fu Yunwan had already prepared her explanation: "As the Empress, it would be appropriate for Your Majesty to take me to the military camp. Firstly, it would demonstrate Your Majesty's respect for the soldiers, and secondly, it would show the harmony between the Emperor and Empress. Therefore, it is most appropriate for Your Majesty to take me there."

What to do? What she said makes so much sense. Yi Xuan couldn't really refute it, even though he knew very well that Fu Yunwan was after Shi Qi.

Yi Xuan sighed helplessly, "Since the Empress has said so, then go with her tomorrow." "In that case, Your Majesty, I thank you very much."

As is customary, Shi Qi hosted a welcome banquet for Yi Xuan and Fu Yunwan, and led them to sit in the seats of honor.

"The military camp is not like the palace, please forgive me, Your Majesty and Your Highness."

Yi Xuan: "It's alright. I actually think this banquet is quite good, unlike the ones in the palace which are all show and no substance."

Fu Yunwan echoed, "Your Majesty is right. Imperial Uncle, there's no need to worry. In my opinion, the most important thing about food is that it can fill people up."

What they said was true; the dishes at the palace banquet were so small that people couldn't get enough to eat, which was quite unlike the food served in the military camp.

"You have all guarded the borders of Dayan for many years and are all capable ministers of our dynasty. I would like to offer you a toast first."

After everyone drank the wine offered by Yi Xuan, their eyes kept glancing at Shi Qi, especially Zhao Zhonglie, whose eyes were practically glued to Shi Qi, making it hard for Yi Xuan to ignore him.

He frowned slightly: "What's wrong with Deputy General Zhao?" He didn't directly point out that Zhao Zhonglie was keeping an eye on Shi Qi.

Zhao Zhonglie immediately looked away: "Your Majesty, I am fine."

Seeing that everyone looked lingering fear, 007 couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, they wouldn't have guessed that you had already replaced the wine with water beforehand. As expected, my host has foresight."

After the banquet, the generals followed Yi Xuan and Fu Yunwan on a tour of the military camp.

Sure enough, the arrival of the emperor further invigorated the soldiers. No wonder generals in ancient times preferred the emperor to personally lead his troops into battle! This effect was no less than brainwashing by some organization! What's more, Yixuan also brought along the beautiful empress!

"How have you been doing in the army lately, Imperial Uncle?" Yi Xuan asked with concern.

Shi Qi replied, "I am well. After all, I have served in the army for many years."

"That's true, I was overthinking it."

Fu Yunwan said, “I find the discipline in this army to be very strict, which is largely thanks to the general and the other generals.” As she spoke, she turned to look at the other generals behind her.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately cupped their hands in greeting: "Your Majesty flatters us!"

Along the way, Fu Yunwan did not deliberately strike up a conversation with Shi Qi. After all, they were in a military camp, and she had to give Yi Xuan enough face. She was already very satisfied to be able to see Shi Qi once.

The group slowly made their way to the horse farm. Yi Xuan raised his hand and patted one of the white-maned black horses: "It's quite a fine horse. I wonder which one is yours, Uncle?"

"It is indeed the horse under His Majesty's command, named Xuanfeng."

Stroking Xuanfeng's soft and pure white mane, Yixuan suddenly became interested: "How about the Imperial Uncle races horses with me?"

Shi Qi did not refuse: "Since Your Majesty is in such a good mood, I will naturally not decline. Then Your Majesty may go and choose a horse that catches your eye."

Yixuan was very satisfied. If this were in the capital, the ministers would have certainly advised him against acting recklessly, citing danger. But none of the generals in the army had any objections.

He picked out a tall, handsome horse with a chestnut and black mane from the stable and rode it around twice.

Zhao Zhonglie couldn't help but say, "This horse has never had a good temper, but it seems to really like Your Majesty."

"Really?" Hearing this, Yi Xuan was also pleased, because he could tell that this was a good horse.

"I am ready, Imperial Uncle, let's begin..."
