We'll have you impersonate the Crown Prince and create a prosperous era for the Great Qian Dyna

Zhou Tiancheng struggled to put on his armor inside the tent.

Manager Liu wanted to come over to help, but Zhou Tiancheng pushed him away.

"I'm not dead yet, I can move on my own."

"You're getting on in years; it's more important for you to take good care of your health. Having you serve me is going to shorten your lifespan!"

This is how Zhou Tiancheng and Manager Liu interact in private.

Manager Liu felt both heartbroken and distressed upon hearing this.

"This is what I do. If you don't let me do it, I'll feel uneasy."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled.

"Old Liu, you're not some old servant. In my eyes, we're in the same boat, all doing our best to survive. There's no need for this attitude."

"After all, you know I'm a fake crown prince."

Manager Liu sighed.

The fake prince is good in every way, except for this one thing: he doesn't treat people like servants at all.

If outsiders find out, what will happen?

But he couldn't dissuade him, and more importantly, he actually felt quite pleased with it.

Just then, Steward Liu heard footsteps, coughed to remind Zhou Tiancheng, and then quickly walked towards the tent entrance.

A soldier led Xiao Shi over.

Upon seeing Xiao Shi, Steward Liu immediately became somewhat annoyed.

"What are you doing here?"

Xiao Shi glanced at him and spoke calmly.

"I intend to work for the Crown Prince."

Manager Liu was stunned.

He looked behind Xiao Shi, somewhat taken aback.

"Just you?"

Xiao Shi nodded.

"They are all my brothers, and I can't be their master, but I can be my own master."

"I intend to stay and serve the Crown Prince."

Chief Steward Liu's expression softened, and he entered the tent to report the situation.

Not long after.

Zhou Tiancheng limped out.

"Are you serious? You really willing to follow me?"

Xiao Shi bowed.

"I mean what I say!"

Zhou Tiancheng quickly waved his hand.

"Old Liu, quickly invite them in, serve them the best wine and meat."

Manager Liu's expression was much more relaxed this time.

Since Xiao Shi was willing to follow the fake crown prince, he was one of their own, so he lifted the curtain without any hesitation.

"You should go in first. His Highness the Crown Prince has training this afternoon, so we might have to wait a while to welcome you back."

Xiao Shi was somewhat embarrassed.

"Your Highness, your foot is injured. Are you still going to train? This will leave a hidden injury!"

Zhou Tiancheng just smiled.

"I'm not a very good person, I can only try my best to do better, let's start by keeping our word."

"By the way, if you're free, you can come and train with us. You might learn something new."

Xiao Shi didn't take it to heart.

He served as a soldier in the northern border region for so many years; what kind of knowledge hadn't he learned?

However, he did not offend the Crown Prince, so he nodded and followed behind him.

Only at this moment did he realize that the prince's armor was not properly on, obviously he had rushed over in a hurry after hearing that he had arrived.

He didn't say anything, but kept it in mind. He followed the Crown Prince into the tent and watched as the Crown Prince slowly put on his armor alone.

now.

In his eyes, the Crown Prince was no longer a high and mighty figure, but just like an ordinary person, who could feel pain and experience embarrassing moments.

Zhou Tiancheng didn't mind showing this side of himself; on the contrary, he calmly complained to Steward Liu.

"Old Liu, next time the imperial physician comes, don't make them take off my armor. It's such a hassle to put it back on, and it made me sweat buckets!"

Old Liu glanced at Xiao Shiyi before turning back to answer.

"Your Highness, this matter is not under my jurisdiction. You should speak to the imperial physician yourself. He is a doctor, and this old servant has no say in it."

Zhou Tiancheng shook his head, somewhat annoyed.

"Forget it, this imperial physician is stubborn. I only trained for a month. Even if I have some injuries, I can recover slowly. He keeps telling me that I might have hidden injuries. I can't argue with him."

As he spoke, Zhou Tiancheng stood up, still wearing his boots. His gait was still a little strange, but overall he was much better.

He turned to look at Xiao Shi.

"Um... let's talk about other things later when we have a welcome dinner for you. Training starts soon, and as the captain, I can't be late. Do you want to come with me?"

"Our training here is a new type of training. You've come at the right time; we'll teach you some new things."

Although Xiao Shi didn't take it to heart, he didn't refuse and followed behind Zhou Tiancheng.

He mainly wanted to see what kind of person the crown prince was.

Once they arrived at the military camp, Xiao Shi didn't care about anything else and was only interested in seeing the new tricks.

There are all sorts of competitions, even for folding blankets?

Is this military training?

He was completely bewildered, wanting to ask a question but unsure how to bring it up.

Fortunately, Xinhua found him. Seeing that only Xiao Shi was one of the Ten Ghosts of Fengcheng, he curiously came over to chat.

When Xinhua heard that Xiao Shi was preparing to follow the Crown Prince, he smiled.

"You can rest assured, the Crown Prince is worthy of your following."

"I see you still have many questions. Let me explain. This is the Crown Prince's new method of training troops, and there are profound intentions behind it..."

Xinhua pulled Xiao Shiyilu aside to explain, which was also a form of communication.

After all, they had both served in the military and knew a little about how to train soldiers. Now they were studying each other's knowledge.

As Xinhua spoke, Xiao Shi's expression gradually changed.

Before, he only thought the Crown Prince was worth following, but now he thinks the Crown Prince is simply a genius!

"Even if Your Highness hadn't been born into the royal family, you could still have become a renowned general!"

These are Xiao Shi's true feelings!

Soldiers trained in this way may not be strong enough, but they certainly have developed a strong backbone!

The key is speed, and the method is systematic, so it can be widely promoted!

Xinhua spoke up quietly from the side.

"This is not the complete version. His Highness the Crown Prince means that for an army to be indomitable, training is one aspect, but it is also necessary to instill a soul in them."

"The Crown Prince is already making preparations. These five hundred men were trained by the Crown Prince himself, and he is unwilling to release them. He has already made plans."

"Now that you're here, these five hundred people will probably be under your command from now on."

Xiao Shi was taken aback.

"You're not planning to stay?"

Xinhua was stunned.

He glanced at the soldiers in front of him, then at the crown prince on the platform, and only spoke after a long while.

"I...I haven't decided yet, but I made an agreement with the Crown Prince. If this group wins, I will become the Crown Prince's bodyguard. At that time, I won't be able to stay even if I want to."

Xiao Shi looked thoughtful.

Sure enough, faced with such a prince, not only did he want to pledge allegiance, but discerning people like those in Xinhua would not miss the opportunity.

As for his nine older brothers, he can only try to persuade them later.

Just then, Zhou Tiancheng waved from the front of the stage, signaling Xinhua and Xiao Shi to come over together.

Zhou Tiancheng spoke only after the two had approached.

"We're having a welcome dinner for him later, new general, you'd better come along."

"But now is the time when we need manpower, so you two will have to work a bit harder. I have a set of sign language used on the battlefield, you can teach it to others."

"The initial training is almost complete, and we will now move on to specialized training."
