I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 309

Chapter 309 - dorm 18

Seeing Xiang Yun walk out of the tent with his admission ticket, Dai Hu and the other two looked at each other, a hint of playfulness in their eyes.

Xun Wu had a flattering expression as he said: "Battalion Commander is Battalion Commander, your methods are really brilliant. Let this kid stay in dorm number eighteen of the cavalry unit, hehe, then he won't have any good days!"

When Dai Hu heard this, a cold smile appeared on his calm face. "This kid dared to act so arrogantly in our new army camp with just a bit of cultivation. He even dared to threaten me with the head steward's residence. Does he really think I can't take care of him?"

"It just so happens that three young masters, Xue Jie, Jiang Pingshan, and Zhou Donghai, have come to the Ranging Battalion. Their old fathers let them come here, and they're a bunch of second generation ancestors. They can't be scolded, and even laozi has a headache. I have to coax them, and now they're being used to treat this thorn."

"Hehe, that's really high!" The three of them laughed in the tent.

As for Xiang Yun, who had walked out of the camp with his admission certificate, he felt something was amiss. Why were these three so kind? There was definitely a trick involved in a.s.signing him to the best treatment, the Ranged Cavalry Battalion!

However, since he had already decided to enter the military camp, there was nothing for him to worry about.

Moreover, Ding Jinglei, this fellow, was still uncertain of where he was secretly laughing at him for making a fool out of himself. Since young, this fellow had often embarra.s.sed him. He was also the one who had beaten him up the most in his family!

"What a great 'Thunder'. Since you don't want to see me, then I'll just stay in your camp and see how long you can keep your cool."

Xiang Yun then began to search for the camp of the cavalry. The new barracks at the Cold Mountain Pa.s.s was set up northwest of the pa.s.s, near the city walls. They were divided into five camps: the infantry unit, the cavalry unit, the Divine Machine Battalion, the Divine Martial Battalion, and the Seafaring Battalion.

The troops in the Cold City Pa.s.s were divided into five categories: infantry, cavalry, archers, artillery, and sailors.

The first three were mainly practicing cold weapons like knives, spears, sticks, bows and crossbows, while the rest were water combat, s.h.i.+pping, island combat, etc. Of course, there were also the extremely special Divine Machine Battalion and Divine Martial Battalion, they were in charge of controlling white feather flying arrows, cloud crystal cannons, and other large scale offensive war cloud weapons!

In addition to mastering basic bow, horse, mount, and shoot skills, the soldiers also needed to train their troops before battle, arrange their formations, and learn combat theories. They also needed to learn basic battlefield flags and gestures, which were extremely complicated.

Because the new battalion often needed to be trained and lectured collectively, the new battalion of the five great battalions would be next to each other. Xiang Yun only needed to ask a single patrolling soldier before he immediately knew the location of the cavalry.

Xiang Yun had just arrived at the encampment of the cavalry battalion when he heard a series of sounds of horse hooves stamping on the ground, as well as the shouts of soldiers training. After showing the proof in his hands to the guards of the camp, Xiang Yun was allowed to enter the camp.

Along the way, there were people who were practicing archery on their warhorses, those who were practicing on their cavalry formations, and two people in a group who were practicing on their charge. There were also sounds of clas.h.i.+ng swords, spears, battle horses, angry soldiers and loud roars …

This scene couldn't help but remind Xiang Yun of his previous life. Back when he had gone to university, when he had received military training at a military base. Now that he recalled it, everything was still fresh in his mind.

As he let his thoughts run wild, Xiang Yun asked a veteran for the location of dorm number eighteen. When the veteran heard that Xiang Yun was going to stay at dorm number eighteen, his expression immediately turned rather strange, sizing up Xiang Yun from head to toe, before finally giving him a direction and quickly leaving.

Along the way, the new recruits' quarters were arranged in a row from east to west. They were all rectangular buildings made of a mixture of earth and wood. They were only one floor high and had very long rooms.

Due to the tense situation at the Cold City Pa.s.s, many young and strong men were recruited. Therefore, the accommodations in the new barracks were rather tense.

Even if their conditions were the best in the five great battalions, the recruits' dormitories were unable to meet the demand. There were many temporary awnings built, surrounded by wooden fences, which could barely be considered as temporary dormitories.

It was also because there were so many people who were too crowded and were all carefree great masters. The moment they walked into the dormitory area, the sour smell of sweat mixed with the 'delicate fragrance' that came from the toilet. The smell was really quite spicy.

It was fortunate that he had been a farmer in his previous life, picking up dung and digging it into the ground. He had also done the slovenly thing of not bathing for a few days; otherwise, with this crown prince's pampered att.i.tude, he would have immediately turned around and left!

Xiang Yun traveled the entire way, looking for dorm number eighteen. In the end, he walked all the way to the furthest corner of the barracks before finally finding a shady, renovated dormitory.

Compared to the buildings made by the army, this one had no special decorations. However, the place was quiet and there was no odor coming from it. Furthermore, it was clearly smaller compared to the other dormitories. Correspondingly, there were not many people living here.

It was originally a very ordinary bungalow. However, after the stark contrast of the rooms in front of it, it suddenly stood out from the rest, as if it was a mansion in a slum.

At the top of this dormitory, there were two big numbers written in red paint. It was dorm '18'!

Xiang Yun stood in front of the door to the dormitory, momentarily stunned. He had originally thought that these three fellows would arrange for him to find the worst dormitory for himself. He had not expected that they would really treat him well.

It was rare for Xiang Yun to think too much about it. He directly carried a pile of things that the Military Administration had brought over and pushed open the dormitory's door. As he pushed it open, he saw a few people standing within the room.

There were four people in total, and they were all wearing the new recruits' uniforms. Three of them were standing in front of the dormitory door, whispering something and letting out some evil laughs from time to time.

Judging from their appearance, they were young, in their early twenties, and had delicate skin. They shouldn't be from a poor family.

In the dorm, there was a yellow-faced young man with a skinny and rough body. He was rolling up his sleeves with his head lowered, holding a broken broom in one hand, and a bucket of water in the other. He was sweeping out from the bed at the back of the dorm.

Seeing Xiang Yun walk in, the four of them were stunned. The yellow-faced youth stopped wiping the ground, and the other three also stopped talking. Everyone turned their gazes towards Xiang Yun.

"h.e.l.lo everyone, I'm a new recruit who just came to report." Xiang Yun greeted with a smile.

Hearing this, the yellow-faced youth smiled innocently at Xiang Yun as well, but he did not speak, lowering his head and continuing to do what he was doing. As for the other three, the moment they saw Xiang Yun, a sinister light flashed across their eyes.

"Yo, new roommates have come to our dorm?" Amongst the three of them, a tall, fair skinned youth with rather handsome features smiled at Xiang Yun.

"Ai, this brother doesn't know his name?" A short skinny youth with small eyes and an aquiline nose beside the white dressed young man also asked in surprise.

Xiang Yun's gaze flitted across the two of them, but he did not see the slightest hint of surprise in their eyes, as if they had already known that they would come. For a moment, Xiang Yun couldn't help but think of Dai Hu's devious, fake smile.

Xiang Yun thought for a while in his heart before cupping his hands at everyone. He indifferently replied, "This one is Wei Xiaobao."

Hearing this, the young man who was busy scrubbing the floor raised his head and smiled kindly at Xiang Yun, "My name is Dong Lin, I'm also a recruit from this year's cavalry unit."

Xiang Yun saw that Dong Lin had a simple and honest expression on his face and had a good impression of him. He also smiled back at him.

However, just at this moment, the st.u.r.dy youth with bronzed skin, who stood to the right of the three, turned his head and glared at Dong Lin. Dong Lin immediately lowered his head in fright and honestly wiped the floor, not daring to say a single word.

"Oh, so it's Brother Wei. This Rangers quota is extremely expensive. For Brother to be able to enter the Rangers, it seems that he's not as simple as he looks."

The white faced, imposing young man of the three smiled brilliantly as he cupped his hands and said: "I am Xue Jie, and this is my second brother, Zhou Donghai. This is my third brother, Jiang Shan.

"Same here." Xiang Yun returned the politeness with a straight face. He then walked to an empty bed in the room and began arranging his own bed.

Although this dormitory was small, it only had five beds, which was relatively s.p.a.cious with special storage cabinets. The conditions could be considered excellent. Xiang Yun tidied up the bed, put down his luggage and returned to sit on the bed to rest.

It was not yet noon, and the army had a rule that when the time came, food would be served. All the soldiers in the new barracks would gather for lunch.

Today was Xiang Yun's first day of recruitment, as well as his last day of registration for this batch of new recruits from the five great battalions. He would only start his official training tomorrow.

It was rare for Xiang Yun to have the leisure to sit down and rest, but she saw that Dong Lin youth had not stopped at all. He continuously swept the floor, scrubbing every bed meticulously.

As for the three people of Xue Jie's group, they gathered together and chatted merrily. Even the hawk-nosed Zhou Donghai and Jiang Shan had gotten a handful of seeds from who knows where and threw them on the ground as they ate. Dong Lin didn't have any complaints towards this.

Xiang Yun frowned slightly. Seeing that Dong Lin just so happened to brush against his bed, Xiang Yun hurriedly got up and said to Dong Lin, "Brother Dong, there's no need to clean up my place. I'll do it myself."

Dong Lin quickly shook his head. "Aiyah, it's alright, Brother Wei. I'll be fine. I'll be in charge of cleaning the dorm."

"Hmm, you're in charge. Why is that? Don't tell me that it's not the dorms that take turns cleaning?" Xiang Yun looked doubtfully at Dong Lin.

Dong Lin subconsciously glanced at Xue Jie and the other two. When he saw them looking towards him, his face turned pale with fear. He quickly bent down and continued cleaning.

Xiang Yun turned to look at Xue Jie and the other two. The three of them looked meaningfully at Xiang Yun, but they did not speak. The st.u.r.dy youth named Jiang Shan even curled the corners of his lips, revealing a sinister smile.

With just a look, Xiang Yun was already eighty percent certain that these three definitely had ill intentions towards him. For these three to target him for no reason, it definitely had something to do with Dai Hu and the other two.

Without a word, Xiang Yun sat back down on the bed, closing his eyes and waiting for trouble to come knocking.

Sure enough, after sitting in silence for a while, the sound of footsteps came from beside Wu Yang's bed, followed by someone coming to his side and patting his shoulder.

Xiang Yun opened his eyes and saw a black shadow completely covering him. It was the tall and strong Jiang Shan. He was currently looking at him with a cold smile!
