Chapter 129: I'll treat you to a meal
The old soldiers who had witnessed Chu Xi's martial arts were excited. Although they had practiced archery earlier than the new recruits, they could guarantee that they could hit the target with one arrow, or the bull's eye.
When Chu Xi shot like this, it was so easy, as if he didn't need to aim at all. He pulled the bow to its full extent and shot the arrow. There was no pause in the process.
No matter how ignorant the newcomers to the military camp were, they now vaguely felt that the centurion leading them was not as easy to bully as he looked.
Chu Jiang was just a boy who looked elegant and easy to bully, but the strength he displayed was definitely not something that a mere boy could achieve.
Chu Er and others hid in different places and practiced with the main force. They saw Chu Jiang shining from afar but did not dare to watch him for too long.
Bian Hangqing was leading his troops in the same training at another place. His eyes wandered several times. He couldn't help but look at Chu Jiang who was shooting arrows over there, and unconsciously raised his hand to touch the back of his neck.
He was several years older than Chu Jiang, but he couldn't be as calm and composed as Chu Jiang. Whether in martial arts or riding and archery, he was deeply aware that he was far inferior to the young man.
There was a bit more determination in Bian Hangqing's eyes when he looked at Chu Jiang. He firmly believed that from today on, he had to work harder and spend more time on the training ground.
He just didn't believe that he couldn't surpass Chu Jiang by practicing like this day after day!
Chu Xi's arrival invisibly stimulated many people. Seeing a boy who was no more than seventeen years old shining so brightly right after entering the military camp, they deeply realized... ashamed.
Even some centurions and captains who had been in the military camp for some time could not help but sigh when they saw it - there are talented people in every generation.
These veterans are destined to be surpassed by more and more young people.
After a day of training, taking a bath at night became Chu Xi's biggest headache. After all, she was different from the men in the army and it was impossible for her to take a bath with them.
As a centurion, she already had some advantages. She had a tent for two people right away, which was considered a privilege.
You can also take a shower in your own tent without having to take a shower with so many ordinary soldiers, but even so, there are still certain risks.
After all, she didn't live alone in this tent, and there were no soldiers standing guard at the door. No one would notify her, and if someone came in and out, or suddenly came to visit...
Chu Er had obviously considered this problem as well. He was the only person in the entire military camp who knew the true situation of his master. He was also the guard who had been with Chu Jiang since he was a child. No one knew the master's condition better than him.
Therefore, the plan made in advance should not be disrupted at this time, but Chu Er couldn't bear it anymore after two days.
When no one was paying attention, he glanced at Chu Xi, nodded slightly, and used his eyes to show that he had something to say.
Chu Xi knew that Chu Er was not the kind of person who would easily disobey his orders, and this must be because he had something important to tell him.
So, after thinking about it, I decided to follow the direction Chu Er was going.
The two of them walked to a secluded place, a place rarely visited by people except for the occasional patrol team.
"Do you have something to tell me?" Chu Xi asked Chu Er calmly.
Chu Er cleared his throat, not daring to look directly at Chu Xi, and whispered, "Prince, you don't have anyone to take care of you now. You must be having a lot of inconveniences in your daily life."
Chu Xi didn't understand what Chu Er meant at first, but when he saw Chu Er looking down at the ground guiltily, he quickly understood what he meant.
She calmed down and thought for a moment, "There is indeed a problem. Without someone to keep an eye on me, it would be a bit inconvenient for special matters..."
Chu Er is an insider around Chu Jiang, and in this regard, he is also the only person Chu Xi can tell the truth to now. In front of him, Chu Xi rarely tells about his predicament.
"Why don't you transfer me to your side as a personal soldier? Then I can keep an eye on everything for you like before, and you can let them do those things." Chu Er said what was in his heart.
Chu Xi fell into deep thought. It would indeed be a lot more convenient to transfer Chu Er to his side. However... the situation in the army is not clear yet. Does he have to transfer people to his side so soon?
Chu Er was still waiting for Chu Xi to make a decision when he heard footsteps gradually approaching them.
He could hear it, so Chu Xi naturally heard it too. She was planning to turn around and walk out, and didn't want to hide.
Without thinking, Chu Er used his lightness skills to fly up to the big tree next to him, hid in the most leafy part of the tree, and successfully hid himself.
With the cover of night, Chu Er, a living person, would not be noticed by the patrol team even if he was squatting on the tree.
Seeing that he had hidden himself first, Chu Xi walked out more calmly.
Some of these patrolmen had seen Chu Xi before, and some had not, so when they saw Chu Xi, some saluted and some did not.
Chu Xi didn't care about this kind of problem. She couldn't agree to what Chu Er said for the time being.
It has nothing to do with trust. There were not enough people to begin with, and there were only four people hiding in the military camp to investigate the spy problem. If Chu Er were to come to his side now, there would be one less person.
Chu Xi was quite confident in her martial arts skills. She could hear any movement if someone approached within 50 meters of the tent.
Such worry is only indirect, and Chu Xi will not keep dwelling on this issue.
Bian Hangqing usually goes out for activities at night, so Chu Xi takes the opportunity to take a shower when he is out.
The military camp is different from home and it is impossible to provide a large bathtub, especially since she is just an ordinary centurion.
At least if she wanted to use a bathtub, she had to find a way, either make it herself or go out and buy it.
So, like most people, she temporarily used a wooden bucket to collect hot water and then used a towel to wipe her body.
Compared to those men who directly pour water on their heads, Chu Xi is naturally not used to that. It is certainly not a good idea to wipe the body like this for a long time, as it cannot wash clean at all.
Chu Xi moved quickly. Although it was a bit sloppy and difficult to clean, special circumstances required special treatment.
Just before Bian Hangqing came back, he put on his clothes, fastened his belt, and even poured the water.
Bian Hangqing opened the tent and saw Chu Xi with wet hair. The young man had loose black hair. Looking from the side, he felt like he was in a trance for a moment.
Just... it's hard to tell whether it's male or female, it's so good-looking that people can't help but doubt whether Chu Jiang is a man or a woman...
Of course, such an absurd thought only flashed through his mind. Generally speaking, Bian Hangqing was a careless person and not that careful.
"Are you free tomorrow as it's a holiday?" Bian Hangqing asked with an awkward tone. Ever since he lost to Chu Xi for the first time, he felt very unnatural when facing Chu Xi.
"Is there something?" Chu Xi asked calmly.
"I would like to show my hospitality and treat you to a meal."
Chu Xi's eyes moved slightly. She realized that this was a good opportunity. If she infiltrated the inside little by little and established good relationships with other people, perhaps she could get out what she wanted.
