Chapter 354: Abandoning the pen and joining the army(2/2)

A quarter of an hour has passed, two quarters of an hour has passed, three quarters of an hour has passed.

There are more and more people watching by the river. Even the people carrying goods have no intention of leaving.

Everyone has understood that this is definitely not a punishment, but rather like... training?

But such training is simply unheard of and unseen.

It was not until half an hour later that these soldiers slowly came up from the river under the gaze of thousands of people.

The soldiers who were ready immediately went over to wipe away the water stains, used the blanket as a barrier, changed into underwear, cotton-padded clothes, and armor.

Silence, speechlessness.

The bustling Zhengyangmen Pier seemed to be suspended at this moment, with everyone watching blankly.

It wasn't until the soldiers were sorted out that they led the team again, gradually moving away and disappearing from sight.

boom!!!

The entire pier was boiling like boiling water in an instant.

At this time, everyone, regardless of their superiority or status, would start chatting with the nearest person.

Perhaps the only ones who are more confused are those foreign ministers, foreigners, and people who do not understand Chinese.

They could only surround the translator and ask questions about what had just happened.

"Hey, didn't you know that those soldiers just now were all personal guards of His Highness the Grand Sun?"

A voice remembered, and the eyes of dozens of people around him turned around, waiting for the next step.

"Old Zhangtou, I know you have been around this dock for a long time, but you can also understand this military matter. Don't brag. How can you understand and contact those soldiers? Be careful with your words.

Get into trouble."

The familiar person next to him immediately said mockingly, obviously he was familiar with the old Zhangtou who just spoke.

The people around who were originally extremely interested suddenly booed and seemed to be about to disperse.

Lao Zhangtou's face turned red. The older a person gets, the more he cares about face. How could Lao Zhangtou endure being ridiculed in front of so many outsiders? He said directly:

"Don't underestimate me, my granddaughter is married to the manager of Qunying Chamber of Commerce as a concubine. The news about me is very clear."

Upon hearing this, the crowd that was about to disperse suddenly gathered around again, and those who heard this also crowded towards this side.

Seeing so many people looking at him, Old Zhangtou's face became more and more proud.

He just mocked the belittler and said in surprise: "I also know about this. Do you really know the category? Don't be pretentious and tell me in detail."

Old Zhangtou was not a storyteller either. He was shocked by the others and said proudly: "A few days ago, the little old man listened to the steward of the Chamber of Commerce and occasionally talked about this matter. It's not a big secret. But usually

The Chamber of Commerce has a good reputation and almost everyone knows about it."

"Your Majesty has appointed His Royal Highness the Grand Sun Xuan Jia Guard as his personal guard. Those who can join the Xuan Jia Guard are extremely outstanding in terms of age, body, and military exploits. They must be the best of the best."

"Even for such an elite, His Highness Taisun's salary is two or three times that of ordinary people, and they are provided with three meals a day."

"You eat more than others, but when it comes to training, you really don't have to be bossed around by others. Ordinary people wouldn't even dare to think about training like that."

"I thought it was just a joke, but after seeing it today, I didn't expect it to be so. A warrior who can withstand such training, who can stop him in this world?"

After some words, everyone suddenly understood.

It turns out that there are such arduous exercises in the world. What I saw today is just the tip of the iceberg. But thinking about swimming in this cold river for half an hour, I can't help but shudder.

What's more, put your hand into the water to feel whether the river is warmer.

A cold breath came from the palm of my hand, and I couldn't help but shiver.

How can I bear this?

Someone beside him sneered: "What are you thinking about? Are you comparing yourself to His Highness the Grand Sun's personal guard?"

Hearing the laughter, the man wanted to retort, but had nothing to say, so he could only glare hard.

The man who tested the waters was tall and strong, with sharp eyes, and he could tell that he had some skills.

The person being stared at did not dare to look at him and left in a hurry.

The burly man straightened his body and ignored the man who had just laughed at him. He looked in the direction where the grandson's personal guard disappeared and murmured:

"Being an official is not a good thing for the future. Instead of taking part in the imperial examination, why not go and find out? The grandson's personal guard still needs manpower."

This person wears a turban on his head and a Confucian shirt.

At least they all have the reputation of being scholars.

And a scholar, after watching the Xuanjia Guard's training, was not afraid, but showed strong desire in his eyes.
