The night on the grassland was cool and breezy, although it was already late May, but the cold air from the north still couldn't be resisted. This was a suffering for the Ming army soldiers. The patrolling soldiers were slightly better off, after all, they were constantly moving. Those standing guard were miserable, rubbing their hands to withstand the chill, and shivering with every gust of wind.

  But Zhang Feng and his squad didn't have the task of training tonight, so everyone naturally gathered together to chat and gossip, much happier than those outside.

  "General flag, I heard that Vice Commander last time trained you for a whole hour, is this true or false?" Wang Ping idly chatted with Zhang Feng.

  "It's true, it's true. I heard that both of the two hundred-household leaders couldn't take it and ran out first." This kind of thing naturally wouldn't leave out Liu Zi, and he directly picked up the conversation.

  Others also looked at Zhang Feng with curiosity after hearing the news, wondering if their boss had such an affair. The embarrassing affairs of their superiors were what these people liked to talk about the most.

  "It's true, Zhu Qianhu scolded me for almost an hour." Zhang Feng also didn't hide it, and smiled as he told the situation of that day.

  "I'm telling you, Zhu Qianhu started lecturing me from the moment I stepped out of formation, pointing at my nose and scolding me for not following orders. Our Wang Baihu and Liu Baihu from the neighboring camp were still waiting in the tent, but they couldn't take it anymore and escaped. If Commander Qianhu hadn't said he was hoarse that day, I reckon I would have been lectured for another couple of hours."

  "Hahaha...…!" Everyone burst out laughing, who would have thought that the usually gentle and courteous Zhu Qian's scolding was so fierce? Anyone else would not be able to withstand being criticized for an hour.

  "Others, Zhu Qianhu said was right, Zhang Feng, you indeed went too far that day." At this time, Chen Hua, who often came to visit, pushed open the curtain and walked in. "That day you were really reckless, how could you rush into the enemy's group alone? You didn't even listen when we called you back. Don't you know that during our exercises, we always fight together? And as the commander of the vanguard, you should be giving orders, but instead, you ran off on your own during a real battle. Fortunately, your brothers didn't suffer any casualties, otherwise, I don't think you could have faced them."

  Chen Hua's words fell, and everyone's smile disappeared. What he said was true. At that time, Liu Zi Ma Cheng and others were still waiting for Zhang Feng's command. After all, this battle was not like the narrow gate of Gaozhou City, but a large-scale melee on the plain. The coordination between the personnel of each flag was especially important. Fortunately, no brothers were lost, but many people were injured. This was all due to Zhang Feng's own dereliction of duty.

  "Yes, being a hero is not something that should be done on the battlefield. One person can never compare to a group of people. Zhang Zongji, you must remember this: the cooperation and unity of brothers are the most important factors in dominating the battlefield. If one abandons their comrades because of personal grudges or grievances, then what qualifications do they have to be their leader?" Old Gu sighed and said slowly.

  "I, Zhang Feng, apologize to the injured brother and to all of you fellow comrades." Zhang Feng bowed deeply and said a word of apology, he had already regretted what happened that day.

  "Alright, alright, it's all in the past, let's just drop it."

  "It's okay, it's just a minor flag."

  "Come on, come on, Zhang, let's talk about when we can return to Beiping instead. I'm really missing the old-brand doughnuts from the city of Beiping." Liu Zi said with a smile.

  "Haha, I think you're thinking of Jiaoquan in Chunfeng Pavilion!" Ma Qi joked with a smile.

  "Go, go, go! Stop talking nonsense here. What Spring Breeze Pavilion and Autumn Breeze Pavilion." Liu Zi repeatedly shook his head in denial, but looking at his small face turning bright red, it was clear that he had been hit on the spot.

  "Blushing! Xiao Liu can blush too! Oh dear, I don't know which little rascal went into the Spring Breeze Pavilion and didn't want to come out."

  "Right, and at a glance, he fell in love with Little Butterfly. It's strange to say that Little Butterfly, an unpopular Qing concubine, actually caught the eye of our Sixth Son. The two of them stayed in the boudoir for half a day! Sixth Son! Were you guys eating fried dough fritters in the boudoir?! Hahahaha!"

  "Stop talking nonsense! I and Xiaodie were just chatting in the room..." Liu Zi explained, his face flushing red with panic.

  Everyone nodded in tacit agreement, yes, yes, you two are just chatting. Liu Zi jumped up and down, swearing that he really didn't do anything, everyone laughed and responded with a smile.

  The tent was filled with bursts of laughter and cheerful voices from time to time, and Zhang Feng's mistake also slowly dissipated with the laughter. Everyone was a sworn brother, and the relationship between comrades-in-arms was deep and profound, and they would not have any misunderstandings because of this little thing.

  "Zhang Feng! Is Zhang's younger brother here?" At this time, a shout came from outside the account, and it was indeed calling Zhang Feng. When Zhang Feng went out to take a look, it turned out that Xu Sheng was looking for him.

  "Zhang Lao Di was finally able to find you, why did your camp set up in such a remote place?" Xu Sheng said with a tone of complaint.

  "Xu Dage called me, what's up? If nothing, come in and talk, it's so cold outside."

  "No need, no need. I just brought you some stuff, here you go." With that, he handed Zhang Feng a square-shaped package.

  "This is..." Zhang Feng took it and roughly knew that there were books or something similar inside, but why did Xu Sheng send him books for no reason, and even wrapped them in cloth so mysteriously.

  "Little brother, take these books and don't let anyone else see them. You can only read them yourself, remember." Xu Sheng solemnly warned him, as if it were a very sacred matter.

  "What kind of book is so important in here?" Zhang Feng asked with doubt.

  Xu Sheng glanced around and saw that there was no one else present, so he quietly said to Zhang Feng: "This contains the 'Art of War by Sunzi', 'Sun Bin's Art of War', 'Six Strategies', collectively known as the 'Wujing Qishu'. Oh, and there's also a book called 'Liujun Jing'. I don't remember the name of that one, but I do remember those familiar ones. You must take a good look at these, they are the Commander-in-Chief's personal treasures, and I was fortunate enough to get him to copy them for me. But I'm not smart and couldn't memorize them, so I brought them out for you to see."

  After Xu Sheng mentioned these book titles, Zhang Feng was stunned. Weren't these the military books he had been wanting to read but couldn't find? Back then on Mount Wudang, he had asked Qingxu Zi Master if there were any military books with diagrams of firearms, but instead, Qingxu Zi Master slapped him on the head several times and even destroyed the book with the firearm diagrams.

  The master also said that Wudang was originally a place of quiet and peaceful world, and should not have such killing books. Even the fire gun manufacturing drawings were just a small fish that accidentally remained in the book pavilion. Curiosity had been cultivated since childhood, so Zhang Feng had always yearned for military books.

  Today, suddenly a big pie fell from the sky, Zhang Feng looked up at the bright moon and thought to himself if he wasn't dreaming, and couldn't help but pinch himself hard...
