Chapter 111 I was too hypocritical before
As Mu Heng expected, the North Vietnamese army launched another surprise attack that night. This time, the Yu army was prepared, so how could they succeed? The two sides fought to a stalemate, and the troops were called off at dawn.
The same thing happened in the following battles. It must be said that with Mu Heng's joining the border, it would be impossible for Xiao Yunting to defeat the Yu army again!
Mu Heng disrupted Xiao Yunting's combat plan several times, and the North Vietnamese army had to stop temporarily. Time passed quickly and it was the end of the year. He Chengfeng's letter was delivered to the emperor by an official from the Ministry of War.
In his letter, He Chengfeng emphasized several newly promoted young generals and General Zhenwei Ye Ze, but only briefly mentioned Mu Heng's contribution, saying only that Deputy General Mu cooperated with him to repel the North Vietnamese army several times, and the recovery of the border town is just around the corner!
The emperor clapped his hands with joy. He was not afraid of all military generals, so when he learned that Dayu had produced another powerful general, he was very pleased. Military generals were scarce in the Dayu Dynasty, and one more general meant one more guarantee. The decree of enthronement and rewards were quickly sent out from the palace, and along with them went the emperor's seventh son, who was also the son the emperor valued the most.
The Emperor is nearly fifty years old, but has yet to appoint a crown prince. Recently, no news has been received from the border, and the ministers in the court have begun to talk about appointing a crown prince again. The party of Duke He, the Queen's mother's family, naturally stands on the side of the Queen and supports the Queen's son, the Fourth Prince.
The Taifu's party supported the Second Prince, the son of Consort De, and believed that the Second Prince had more kingly qualities. Since ancient times, kings have chosen the eldest son as the crown prince rather than the most virtuous one. The eldest prince died early, so what was wrong with making the Second Prince the crown prince?
The emperor's favorite is the seventh prince, who was born to him and his beloved. She even died in childbirth to give birth to the seventh prince. Shouldn't the emperor compensate her and make her son the crown prince? Dealing with these trivial matters every day, the emperor is very annoyed. Is it because I don't want to establish a crown prince? Aren't you people singing against me every day?
So the emperor thought about it and decided to let the seventh prince go to the military camp to gain some experience, so that when he comes back to compete with his two brothers for the throne, he will have an extra layer of capital! Of course, the most important thing is that He Chengfeng's letter reassured the emperor that the seventh prince would not be in any danger even if he arrived at the border.
......
As for Ye Ze, he has been training for more than ten days in a row. He gets up before dawn almost every day to train and goes to bed after dark. Not to mention taking a shower, he can barely wash his hands and face these days. If you calculate carefully, he probably hasn't taken a shower for more than a month.
I was really too hypocritical before. Look, he didn't wash for so many days and still survived? If it itches, just scratch it. If it stinks, just smell it. Anyway, his wife can't see or smell it, so what is he afraid of?
There was no need for training on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, and Ye Ze finally had half a day free. He could no longer bear it, and quietly came behind the stone wall where he took a bath last time, ready to wash himself thoroughly. After all, this was the first New Year's Eve since he traveled through time, and he had to wash away all the bad luck before he could welcome the New Year!
The tent was set up, the bathtub was filled with water and heated, and finally the heater and power supply were put away. Ye Ze took off his clothes and soaked in the bathtub. He wanted to soak comfortably and then get out. However, as soon as he jumped into the bathtub, the water in the bathtub immediately changed color.
Ye Ze: (???︿???) Is he that dirty?
After a simple wash with soap, the water in the bathtub had turned black and paste. Ye Ze had no choice but to come out and put on his bathrobe, pour out the water, refill the bathtub, and then continue to boil water. While waiting, Ye Ze thought about the next battle. The previous two times Ye Ze went to the battlefield, he focused on self-protection first. Now that his identity has changed, it is definitely not enough to just protect himself, so he has no confidence in the next siege.
With a thought, a black, shiny pill appeared in his palm, "It's up to you!"
Ye Ze closed his eyes and swallowed the pill into his mouth. This was the marrow cleansing pill!
The Da Li Pill can only increase strength, making him invincible in close combat. Coupled with the system's defense shield, it is difficult for others to hurt him. However, these are not enough for siege, so Ye Ze remembered the Marrow Cleansing Pill that he had not dared to take before.
The pill melted in his mouth, followed by a pain that went deep into his bones. Ye Ze immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he had expected this and could still endure it.
As time passed, the pain in Ye Ze's body not only did not subside, but even tended to get more severe. The sweat on the surface of his skin turned from transparent to black, and black unknown substances were continuously discharged from his body.
Pain, bone-eating pain, as if the body was undergoing a thousand temperings and being reorganized. The pain was so severe that Ye Ze wished he could faint. However, due to the effect of the powerful pill, Ye Ze's physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary people. He could not even faint and was awake the whole time!
It felt like a very long time had passed, so long that Ye Ze thought he was about to die. Finally, the pain in his body began to ease and finally disappeared. At this moment, Ye Ze's body felt more relaxed than ever before, without even a trace of fatigue. Even his five senses became clear, and any movement within a few meters outside the tent was within Ye Ze's senses.
Is this the effect of the marrow cleansing pill?
Ye Ze couldn't wait to go out and try out his current skills, but when he looked down at how dirty he was, he thought it was more important to take a shower first!
When Ye Ze came out of the bath and continued to change the water, he found that the sky outside had darkened. Is it so late? Ye Ze hesitated for a few seconds, then quickly changed the water, washed again, and then changed the water again. After the bath, the water in the tub was no longer turbid. Ye Ze came out to change clothes comfortably, and put all his things, including the underwear he took off, into the space for warmth.
After doing all this, it was completely dark. Ye Ze hurried towards the camp. His steps were as light as a swallow and so fast that he almost left an afterimage. However, he was completely unaware of all this.
......
"Boss, are you back?"
"Where have you been, Boss?"
As soon as Ye Ze returned to the camp, Shouhou and Goudan came to greet him. It was not until they were close that they noticed the difference in Ye Ze. Hmm, he seemed to have become much cleaner. "Boss, did you go take a shower again?"
"Why doesn't it smell as good as last time?" Goudan moved closer to Ye Ze and sniffed it again, not giving up.
Ye Ze: “…” He only used soap, how could it smell good?
"What are you doing?" Skinny Monkey patted Goudan on the back and pulled him back. Goudan was not annoyed, but scratched his head and smiled: "I just smell it."
The skinny monkey rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to him, and walked up to Ye Ze and asked, "By the way, Boss, you haven't had dinner yet, right? I'll ask the cook to get you some more food."
Ye Ze rubbed his stomach. It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it. Now that he mentioned it, he was really hungry. "Okay, let's go together."
Normally, since Ye Ze is a general now, he can let the cooks prepare his meals separately, but Ye Ze feels that is not a good idea. He has just become a general and has never even been to the battlefield. He does not want to be too ostentatious, so he still eats from the big pot like everyone else. This way, he can enhance the relationship between his comrades, killing two birds with one stone.
