From Folly to Fortune:I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!
Chapter 1140 - 1136: The Cat Smells Something Fishy (Third Update)
Xing Beichen is the only bloodline of the War God Xing Ningtian.
Those people in the Capital all seem to have an unspoken agreement.
Every time Xing Beichen volunteered, he was turned down.
Eventually, they directly gave Xing Beichen a useless and idle official position.
Even entering and exiting the Imperial Palace was difficult!
But those people don’t understand, the more they prevent Xing Beichen from going to the battlefield, the more Xing Beichen desires...
He wants to prove on the battlefield that he is Xing Ningtian’s son, not a worthless person!
"Good job, Xing Beichen, you big liar, you talk so nicely and yet you dare to trick Fengzi into going over when you don’t even have the qualification to go to the Northwest!"
"What should I say to you? You pighead, your brain went bust!"
Mu Shuangshuang was very angry!
Xing Beichen’s face turned bright red again.
"Actually, it’s okay. I’ve written to the main commander with Fengzi, and when I get to the Northwest, I’ll send a letter to the court. By then, if they don’t agree, there’s nothing they can do!"
The so-called act first and report later is the meaning here!
But this method is still a bit risky!
"Xing Beichen, I think you’d better send a letter to the court before you go, be sincere about it, maybe the court will agree!
If you just leave like this, if someone doesn’t like you and accuses you of deceiving the Emperor, what will you do then?"
Mu Shuangshuang increasingly felt that when Xing Beichen got heated, he never considered the consequences.
Fortunately, Fengzi told her that the two of them would definitely be in different places in the military camp!
"Shuangshuang, it’s really useless! The Prime Minister is a friend of my father, he won’t budge, no matter what anyone says!"
Xing Beichen indeed knew quite a few people in the Capital.
They were all close friends of his father, but so what, those old fossils, as soon as they heard he wanted to go to the battlefield, they got scared like crazy!
"Well, I don’t care, your brain with me is as good as a blockhead, so you’d better wise up!
Moreover, you’d better tell me everything you know. If you dare to lie to me again, I’ll throw you into the latrine and drown you!"
Mu Shuangshuang threatened Xing Beichen.
The less reliable Xing Beichen was, the more worried he was about Lu Yuanfeng.
How could this go on like this?
"Shuangshuang, I know I was wrong! I promise, aside from the court being somewhat unwilling to let me go, everything else I said is true.
Furthermore, Fengzi and I have been undergoing your strange training recently, and I clearly feel I’m stronger than before!"
Mu Shuangshuang went to Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen’s training camp every day.
But she stayed for at most half an hour, played a couple of games with Lu Yuanfeng and Xing Beichen, taught a few moves, and ran off.
Xing Beichen and Lu Yuanfeng had to keep repeating her moves there.
Sometimes they ran dozens to hundreds of laps carrying trees thicker than themselves, sometimes they crawled on the grass for two straight hours without moving an eyebrow.
But in this way, their patience and physical fitness have improved a lot during this cross-training.
"Enough, enough, at your level, you’re still far from ready for the battlefield!" Mu Shuangshuang looked full of disdain!
Xing Beichen closed his mouth pitifully.
_
After eating and drinking, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng were responsible for tidying up the bowls and stove, while Xing Beichen went out for a walk to digest.
The children fetched water themselves, washed up in their rooms, and went to bed.
After tidying up the kitchen, Mu Shuangshuang found a piece of white paper and continued to explain military strategy to Lu Yuanfeng.
The Art of War by Sun Tzu consists of fifteen Chapters, Mu Shuangshuang has only explained the first two Chapters, Plans and Waging War.
Today should be the Attack by Stratagem Chapter, which is about teaching Lu Yuanfeng not to rely solely on military force but to use various means to make the defenders surrender.
Mu Shuangshuang spoke very slowly!
Of course, the main reason was that Mu Shuangshuang lacked experience, and many things were not explained thoroughly.
Fortunately, modern people have watched many TV dramas and can talk about many TV drama scenes.
"Fengzi, what I’m telling you is just written stuff; the real impact requires your exploration on the battlefield, you know?" Mu Shuangshuang reminded Lu Yuanfeng.
"Yes! I know, in recent days, listening to you, I’ve been thinking. In the past, I just considered myself a Vanguard, rushing to be first in everything.
Now, listening to your theories, I feel more insignificant! A military camp needs not only charging soldiers but also strategists managing from the rear!
But don’t worry Shuangshuang, now that I’ve learned so much theory, whether I become a charging soldier or a strategist in the rear, as long as I can use these theories, I definitely will!"
Mu Shuangshuang nodded.
"That’s right, you just need to remember these things firmly, if they’re useful, use them. If not, consider it a conversation with me!"
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t put too much pressure on Lu Yuanfeng.
She always hoped that Lu Yuanfeng could learn easily.
This way, when applying it, he wouldn’t be nervous!
The night grew deeper, and there was some noise in the courtyard.
Mu Shuangshuang raised her head to see Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang standing at the courtyard gate, preparing to open it and enter.
Mu Shuangshuang quickly gathered up the white paper and threw it into the previous fire pit.
The white paper turned to ashes, leaving nothing behind.
Mu Shuangshuang’s knowledge of military strategy was a secret between her and Lu Yuanfeng, even Xing Beichen was kept in the dark.
If Xing Beichen weren’t going to the battlefield with Lu Yuanfeng, Mu Shuangshuang wouldn’t be willing to help train Xing Beichen.
It’s not that her skills are great, but that she fears trouble.
Outwardly, she’s just a village woman; her academic knowledge is limited, and military strategy is not something a village woman could grasp.
Therefore, the fewer people who know about it, the safer it is for her and Fengzi.
"Shuangshuang, I have to go back, you... go to bed early!" Lu Yuanfeng stood up.
"Yes, I’m indeed a bit tired, later you tell Xing Beichen, get up early and run thirty laps tomorrow morning.
After that, come back for breakfast, and we will go to town to check on the tavern’s operations!"
Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t managed the tavern for days.
Now it’s time to check the ledger, and by the way, instruct the tavern staff to pay serious attention.
Since Mu Dade came back, Mu Shuangshuang had a feeling that more things were in store for her.
So to avoid unnecessary troubles, it’s best to have the tavern well prepared in advance!
——
At night, Mu Dade and Mrs. Jin were in their room, just returned, neither hurried to sleep.
The two were discussing cleverly how to deal with the third branch with candles lit!
Mrs. Jin suggested starting with the tavern.
"Da De, I found out today, outsiders aren’t allowed in the school usually, making sabotage very hard.
But with the tavern, which is teeming with people and gossip, it’d be very easy for something to happen..."
