Zhao Xingde and Chen Kang said he wanted to report the emperor's value, and his face changed slightly. Chen Kang said: "The case of the letter was exposed and the number of people involved in my Chang'an is now hundreds of scholars who have been studying in Chang'an. They have also formed the "East Human Resources and Social Security". If they knew that Brother Zhao was also in Guanxi, they would be overjoyed and would be the leader of you."

Zhao Xingde's face changed. He hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Brother Chen is kind to me. It's just that the traitor is tainted by me for rebellion. If Zhao Xingde is used by your country, he will be afraid that the traitor will be confirmed. It will also implicate Chen Shaoyang and other officials in Guandong." He paused and whispered: "Now, Zhao De, who is only a Guandong native, has won such a big name and killed his friend, but Zhao Xingde escaped alone, doesn't know where he has escaped."

Chen Kang was stunned and forced a smile and said, "Brother Zhao is very serious. What I said is that the father is more important than using the case of revealing the post. The father was very interested after reading the 'Ten Strategies for Expanding the Sea' you wrote. My Xia Kingdom is inland, but the ships with the flag of the Daxia are also in and out of ports in many countries. I want to use your strategy to expand the ocean."

Zhao Xingde said: "Your Majesty the Emperor is so proud of his love, but Zhao Xingde has gained a reputation and dare not be ashamed of the Guandong elders anymore." Seeing that Chen Kang was waiting to be persuaded again, he had to make up his mind and said in a deep voice: "I am just Zhao De, a native of Guandong. If Brother Chen insists on recommending Zhao Xingde to Your Majesty, there is another Di Qinger in the Bachelor's Mansion."

His concern was that the scholars who were wandering in Xia Kingdom were used by the Xia Kingdom court as chess pieces against Guandong. Since ancient times, such chess pieces must be blamed on both sides and will not have a good ending. Furthermore, there is no airtight wall in the world. As long as Guandong heard that Zhao Xingde was used by Xia Kingdom, Chao Buzhi would be implicated. The crime of colluding with the enemy country was confirmed. Zhao Xingde immediately became a person who was criticized by thousands of people and cursed by thousands of people.

Zhao Xingde refused with a firm determination, Chen Kang was a little embarrassed, Di Qing's affairs were already well-known, and the people of Xia admired him loyalty, but refused to release him back to Guandong. After Yu Lao died of old age in the Bachelor's Mansion, the Song Dynasty court awarded the posthumous title of "Duke Wuxiang".

After a while, Zhao Xingde broke his silence and said, "Brother Chen is a royal relative. I can be considered your commoner. If you still think that I, Zhao Xingde, are a friend, please help me cover up my identity and don't mention Zhao Xingde to others. I am just a Guandong person who lives here, Zhao De."

Chen Kang nodded immediately and agreed, "Since that's the case, it's as Brother Zhao wished." After Zhao Xingde thanked, Chen Kang was silent for a moment and asked again, "I don't know what kind of career Brother Zhao is doing in Dunhuang. If Xiaoke needs help, just inform me. By the way, our country pursues the system of soldiers and households. Have you left your household registration?"

Seeing that he was Sheng Yi, Zhao Xingde knew that this man was just a way to raise his hand when he found out that he was not allowed to raise his hand, so he told him: "He is currently serving as a centurion in the Chengying Army and is waiting for the military order to go to Lumei Kingdom."

"What?" Chen Kang looked up and down at Zhao Xingde in surprise, as if he was about to get to know him again, "You actually entered Chengying Camp or the Centurion?" Zhao Xingde didn't understand why he was fussing again. After a moment, he heard Chen Kang sigh: "Brother Zhao's talent is really unexpected. It stands out like a cap in his cone, without my recommendation, nor does it require the reputation of Kanto."

Zhao Xingde smiled and said, "Brother Chen is so proud of Zhao."

Chen Kang waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhao, you are a newcomer and don't know the origin of the soldiers. In our court, it is like the right path to the imperial examination in Kanto. The so-called "I would rather be a centurion than a scholar" is, I have 200,000 elite soldiers who have been fighting every day. The centurion is just talking about two thousand people. The father often said that millions of soldiers are the foundation of our dynasty's founding of the country in the four battles. These two thousand centurions are the arm of the country." He paused and said, "What's more, the centurion of Chengying Army, I really don't know how you fought."

When Zhao Xingde saw the question, he told the story of his original enrollment in the Huyi Army but mistakenly entering Chengying Camp. After hearing this, Chen Kang sighed, "This is the fate. The commander of the Huyi Army is my third uncle. If you enter the Huyi Army, we will always have a chance to meet." After he asked Zhao Xingde's address again, he said, "Come to come here to pay tribute to his ancestors. I will come to visit Brother Zhao one day." He bowed to him and returned to the carriage just now.

The man behind the curtain opened his red lips lightly and asked in a low voice: "Who was that just now? He actually made His Highness stop and talk for a long time." His voice was pleasant.

Chen Kang was stunned, and after a moment, he sighed: "It is an old friend who has hidden his name from the court to the market, and his name is passed down from the rivers and lakes, and everyone wants to meet but cannot get it."

"Oh?" Han Ningshuang said strangely. Through the gap in the curtains of the car, she saw a figure in a blue shirt standing under the Qianfo Rock, indescribable loneliness. After Han family's old friends ran around in many ways, the Daxia Guguo Mansion was preparing to listen to the statements of the Han people in Liaodong to decide whether to send military assistance. It was of great importance. Han Ningshuang came here in person. The bones of her ancestor Han Chang and Han Chang's mother were buried under the Qianfo Rock, and there were portraits in the cave, so when she arrived in Dunhuang, she came to worship. This sad loneliness independent of the world made Han Ningshuang feel moved and the situation of the Liaodong Han army. The carriage slowly started, and the scenery outside the window changed, but the figure of the man did not gradually disappear.

Zhao Xingde waited for a while, and Li Ruoxue came down from Qianfo Cliff with Gu and Zhu Lingwu. She was very thoughtful and did not directly comfort Zhu Lingwu, but only picked some Guandong scenery to tell her. Zhu Lingwu felt her kindness and calmed down her sadness, but her heart still felt a little painful. Zhao Xingde would escort them back to the city before returning to the mansion on Shouchangze with Li Ruoxue.

The next day, after training in the Seventh Battalion of Chengying, Zhao Xingde was about to return home, but was stopped by the captain Duan Huaixian and asked him to visit Du Chujiao's house together.

"Have you been visiting your sergeant's home these days, right?"

The two of them walked together. Zhao Xingde was distracted and thought about returning tonight. He had not greeted Ruoxue yet. When Duan Huaixian asked suddenly, he remembered that he had never visited the soldiers' homes. In the Hejian Army, the same was true when he led the musket camp. The generals next to him also took it for granted. The Song army had not yet had the habit of visiting the soldiers' homes.

"Yes." When Zhao Xingde answered this, he felt a little ashamed.

"You were elected as a centurion as soon as you joined the army. I don't know the practices in the army, and there are excuses for you." Duan Huaixian said slowly, "The officers should let their subordinates trust their lives with life and death, which is not something simple. You are well-read, and you have heard of Wu Qi's story of sucking carbuncles. In my Xia army, it is not just that. Everyone has a heart. You think others are subordinates, others are just dealing with responsibilities to you, you think others are brothers, and others also think you are brothers. You can sacrifice your life for your brothers, and your brothers can go through fire and water for you. My Daxia army conquered all directions, and never feared the ruthlessness of the barbarians. In the final analysis, it depends on one's heart."

"I understand, I understand." Zhao Xingde whispered.

Duan Huaixian shook his head and continued, "Soldiers are not just an errand, but also the foundation of the country. They all rely on soldiers to protect the court, kill the enemy, protect the households, and implement the national policy of the court. As an officer, you must regard the suffering of soldiers as your own suffering, listen to the suggestions of soldiers and strive to win the interests of soldiers, so that the soldiers will always support you."

Duan Huaixian paused and said in a deep voice: "General Zhou has high hopes for you. After the long-distance marching, when your people are at their highest expectations, he recommended the centurion. Your subordinates have high hopes for you, and they have entrusted you with their wealth and life to elect you as the centurion. I also have high hopes for you, so I say this to you, and I hope you will not let us down."

"I will keep the teachings of General Duan in mind." Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice with shame on his face.

Duan Huaixian nodded and said nothing more. After a while, he came to Du Chujiao's house. A child was playing in front of the yard. When he saw two officers riding horses, he ran back to the yard like a smoke. After a while, Du Chujiao walked out with a smile on his face.

"Oh, the two Shangguans came to the humble house and killed Lao Du." Du Chujiao bowed and said, "In front of the children, he paid great attention to setting an example."

"I'm just free today, so I'll come with Zhao Dutou." Duan Huaixian looked at Zhao De, rolled his saddle and handed the reins to Du Chujiao's eldest son, and smiled, "Come and see Lao Du, by the way, I see that the war is imminent, is there anything else at home to be assured? In addition, there is nothing wrong with it, even if I say, I'll make a decision for you, even if I submit it to the Guguo Mansion." After that, he entered Du Chujiao's living room with Zhao Xingde and sat down. He was calm and easy-going, and talked to several of Lao Chujiao's children from time to time. Before leaving, he left a famous post saying that if Du Chujiao's children wanted to do business, they could take his famous post and go to the Fuhaixing semicolon to plan things.
