After laughing and playing, the two of them snuggled together quietly.

How could Shao Wei not know that Gu Qinghe just wanted to make him happy, but the group of people in the Duke's Mansion really had no effect on his mood.

In the early years, I would feel disappointed and resentful, but now I think it’s okay this way, at least I don’t have to worry about anything.

What's more, it's not like he didn't receive any goodwill back then.

He was young, and even if he lied about his age, he looked so thin that he was bound to be bullied when he first entered the military camp. He could not learn to flatter or bow his head, so he just focused on doing his own thing.

Once he was bullied so badly that Shao Wei beat the person who wanted to step on him half to death like a wolf cub, and almost cut off half of his ear. Since then, no one dared to bully him anymore.

However, the centurion in the army at that time turned a blind eye to the matter and did not report it at all, so he did not receive any punishment.

Later, his life in the military camp became much better, and he also received silver, money and luggage sent to him by Shao Xingjian.

The people in the Duke's Mansion did not care about his life or death, and they did not know about the secret connection between him and Shao Xingjian. Even when news came back later that he was probably dead on the battlefield, only his grandmother shed two tears for him.

Shao Xingjian wrote to him, but he did not tell anyone in the Duke's Mansion about Shao Wei's affairs, and he even kept it a secret from his grandmother.

If Shao Wei is willing, it is not impossible to completely sever ties with the Duke's Mansion at this time.

But Shao Wei didn't want to do that. He didn't want to be the kind of person who hides. Not only did he not hide, he even wanted to return to Beijing openly.

He still remembered the indescribable expressions on his father and the Duke's faces when he leaned over and said he wanted a mansion to live in when His Majesty asked him what reward he wanted.

At that time, he was not yet stable in mind, and still harbored some sharp desire for revenge in his heart.

But now, all the things in the past are really not important to him anymore.

The people in the Duke's Mansion could no longer affect his emotions in the slightest.

What's more, God treated him well, allowing him to meet Gu Qinghe and have a sensible child like Luo Feng.

He is content.

……

On the second day, Gu Qinghe dressed as a man and followed Shao Wei to the training ground for new recruits.

She was dizzy looking at the huge crowd of people, "Where can I find this?"

Shao Wei said: "I have asked people to select the soldiers with the surname Ming among this year's recruits, but I asked people to check them in advance. There is no brother of Mingxuan. Most of them are twenty years old or older."

Gu Qinghe's face was a little worried. "I'm not afraid that he will come to find him if he knows about this, so I specially gave myself a nickname. At least I'm already in the military camp, so I'm safe."

"I'm afraid he'll run into trouble on the way here, and something'll happen before he even gets to the barracks. If that happens, it'll be terrible."

Gu Qinghe looked over, hoping to see a familiar face among these unfamiliar faces.

However, she looked around at everyone but didn't see Ming Sheng.

Gao Cun came over from somewhere and whispered something in Shao Wei's ear.

Shao Wei glanced at her and motioned her to come over.

"Some recruits started fighting last night and they refused to behave themselves even after being punished. I'm going to go take a look."

Gu Qinghe quickly grabbed his rest and said, "I'll go with you, just in case it happens to be Ming Sheng."

She pulled it quickly and didn't notice that the eyes of the soldiers not far away were quietly falling on the two of them. This man was no less gossipy than a woman.

Gao Cun narrowed his eyes and glanced over there, and these people quickly retracted their gaze and trained honestly.

But my heart was already in turmoil.

My goodness, doesn’t General Shao have a son?

No one says that General Shao has a homosexual tendency.

Gu Qinghe didn't realize that she had quietly ruined Shao Wei's reputation, and she followed him to the recruits' quarters.

When they arrived at the tent, she followed him in. Several recruits were lying or sitting, all of them had wounds all over their bodies, and their faces were bruised and swollen.

As soon as they saw Shao Wei, even those lying on the bed sat up in a hurry, "General Shao."

"Gu——"

Gu Qinghe's eye twitched and he immediately looked in the direction of the voice. Sure enough, Ming Sheng was lowering his head and trying to sneak away.

But the tent was so small, unless he dug a tunnel and bury himself, where else could he hide?

Gu Qinghe walked up to him and saw that the man was still burying his head in the soldier next to him.

"Come out with me."

Ming Sheng followed her with a gloomy face and looked like he was about to cry but had no tears. When he passed by Shao Wei, he did not forget to give him an admiring look.

As soon as he got outside, Ming Sheng apologized tactfully, "Did my sister ask you to come?"

Ming Sheng hung his head and frowned, "How could she let you come here alone from such a far place? Besides, there's no telling when the war will start. It's very dangerous for you to stay here."

"You also know the danger. You sneaked out without saying anything this time. Do you know how worried Mingxuan and your parents at home are?"

It was obvious that Ming Sheng felt guilty, but he was still not convinced. "What is there to worry about? There are so many people my age in this military camp. How come they can join the army but I can't?"

"But at least they got their families' consent to join the army."

Ming Sheng spread his hands, grimacing because of the bruises on his face. "The problem is that they absolutely do not agree to my joining the army."

He sighed, his face became much more serious, "Sister Gu, do you think I can still get out if I tell them?"

"I know they are worried about my comfort, but I can't give up my dream just because of their worries. I never wanted to join the army on a whim. It's them who don't take my words to heart and always try to fool me again and again."

Gu Qinghe didn't know what to say. She had to say that Sheng was wrong, but if joining the army to serve the country was considered a wrong thing, then what was right?

To say that the Ming family parents did something wrong, it seems that there is nothing wrong with them not wanting their only son to join the army because they were worried about his life or death.

Apart from preventing Ming Sheng from joining the army, the Ming family never lacked in supplies sent to the military camp every time there was a war.

Ming Sheng's eyes were red. "Sister Gu, don't be angry. I didn't mean to talk to you in this tone. I just..."

I just feel a little aggrieved.

Gu Qinghe seemed to see Luo Feng and sighed softly.

Pulling Mingsheng to sit down, "Besides your face, where else are you injured? Why did you fight?"

Speaking of this, Ming Sheng felt even more aggrieved, but after looking at Gu Qinghe and thinking about the relationship between her and Shao Wei, he finally endured those words.

"I just don't like them. They gossip like gossipers. They deserve it!"

As he spoke, he became cheerful again, "Although I was injured, I was the only one beating them up. Their injuries were much more serious than mine. Mine were just minor injuries."
