Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 263 Steps

Seeing that Song Chunlin was still a child, General Lin did not make things difficult for him in the end. He only told him to go to the military camp to pick up the people and settle the military pay for the three thousand men. Then he reported a number. After hearing it, Song Chunlin took a breath and became angry and was about to get his bow.

"I'd better shoot you to death with one arrow. You are such a black heart!"

Seeing this, Gu Fengyue hurriedly stopped in front of General Lin and said, "Chun Lin, don't be angry. I believe that General Lin is such a generous person. He will definitely not care about these things with a child like you, right, General Lin!"

General Lin's eyes widened. "What are you saying? Gu Er, get out of the way. I don't believe he really dares to kill an official appointed by the imperial court. Come on, kill me if you have the guts, or give me...ah..."

General Lin didn't even have time to utter the last word "money" before he was kicked away by Song Chunlin who had broken out of the encirclement. He lay on the ground like a toad with his butt sticking up, looking very embarrassed.

"Pah, pah, pah~" General Lin raised his face from the ground, his mouth was full of dust, his face was also covered with mud, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

"Song Chunlin! How dare you kick me!" General Lin got up from the ground, rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight with Song Chunlin. The Minister of War and Gu Fengyue next to him couldn't stop him. Song Chunlin was not to be outdone and kicked him again, kicking him to the door.

After kicking him, he pointed at General Lin's nose and cursed arrogantly: "You dare to ask for such a high price, why shouldn't I kick you? Believe it or not, if you say such a high price again, I will kick you again!"

General Lin got up from the ground again, but he still yelled at Song Chunlin to pay. The Minister of War felt tired. What had he thought in the first place that he was so optimistic that he thought that no matter how crazy General Lin was, he would not attack a child. He didn't expect that he really thought too highly of General Lin.

In this way, Gu Fengyue held Song Chunlin in her arms, and the Minister of War held General Lin. The two sides were less than ten feet apart and cursed at each other. Grandpa Song and Aunt Song shook their heads and took the children to the next door. Song Qin thought it was noisy, so she went to the kitchen to see if she could do anything.

The two men had been arguing for nearly half an hour, but neither was willing to back down. One insisted on the price and refused to budge, while the other thought the other was trying to rob him and refused to give.

In the end, even the people who were trying to stop the fight felt tired, and the Minister of War sat down on the ground and gave up.

"If you want to fight, do it quickly. Don't waste my time. I have to go home later."

The quarrel between the two sides came to an abrupt end. Song Chunlin was a little tired, so he found a stool, sat down on it, raised his chin, and looked arrogant.

"Hey, don't think I'm really a child who doesn't know anything. After all, I also followed the army to the border. When it comes to the military pay of 3,000 people, I know much more than you do."

General Lin looked unhappy: "Humph, who knows if you are serious, you are just a brat, and you are talking about going to the border, don't pee your pants when you see the barbarians."

It turned out that she was questioning him. Now he understood.

"Since you think I don't dare to kill the barbarians, then fine, why don't you go and tell the emperor that I am unworthy of the position? You are wasting my time by coming here to argue with me for so long."

General Lin was rarely choked by him. He wiped the dust off his nose. If he told the emperor this, there was a chance that his head would be gone the next day.

But he was asked to allocate three thousand brothers to a child who had not even grown all his hair. He would not accept it and would make this man bleed properly.

As soon as Song Chunlin saw him like this, he knew that he was still unconvinced, so he poked Gu Fengyue and said, "Let's go to the military camp and let him see for himself whether I am unworthy of my position."

General Lin's eyes lit up and his mouth was full of sarcasm: "Let's go, whoever doesn't go is a grandson." When we get to the military camp, I will show my true colors, you little brat.

Then a group of people rushed to the military camp again. Song Qinshi thought it was quiet outside and walked out to take a look. Wow, they all ran away. She didn't know whether they would come back for dinner. But she thought that Song Chunlin would definitely not starve, and Gu Fengyue would definitely not starve either. The other two were not from her family, they were all adults, and they would definitely not starve themselves. After thinking about this, Song Qinshi was no longer worried and continued to do what she had to do.

The military camp was some distance away from Changping. Starting from Yongle Village, it would take more than half an hour to ride a horse. Before going out, Song Chunlin took out his bow from the space and carried it on his back, and galloped along the official road with Gu Fengyue.

The two men arrived at the military camp just before dusk. People outside saw their own general at a glance, and then Gu Fengyue and Song Chunlin. The Minister of War did not want to take care of their mess and ran away first.

The other three people didn't care about these things. They asked someone to open the gate of the military camp and quickly came to the training ground.

The training ground of the Cavalry and Archery Camp is larger than that of other military camps. What you see is a huge flat grassland. It is already dusk, but there are still many people practicing horse riding and archery on the grass.

Song Chunlin jumped off the horse, and the bow he was carrying on his back immediately attracted the attention of others. The sharp-eyed people had discovered that his bow was very similar to the recently appeared compound bow. Combined with Song Chunlin's age, they quickly guessed Song Chunlin's identity.

"It's actually a child..."

"That bow looks a little different from a compound bow. It is said that the compound bow we use now evolved from the one behind him."

"He's just a young boy. I don't believe he can really shoot an arrow through a hundred steps."

"The one chosen by His Majesty cannot be too weak."

Many people were discussing at once, looking up and down at Song Chunlin. Seeing Song Chunlin's rosy lips and white teeth, they thought he was some pampered young master who was taken to the border to be gilded and suddenly became a sharpshooter.

Although the arrow shot by Song Chunlin at the palace banquet was amazing, these people had never seen it, so they all remained skeptical. When they saw Song Chunlin and the others heading towards the training ground, they all moved over there to see this kid make a fool of himself.

General Lin led his men to the shooting range and pointed at the target opposite him and said, "Come on, young master, let me see if what you have is the real thing."

"That's right, young master, show us your skills!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

More and more people gathered around, and they all started to make a noise when they heard General Lin's words. General Lin was even more proud. Although the bow behind Song Chunlin looked very unusual, he was convinced that with Song Chunlin's small physique, it would be difficult for him to even draw the bow, let alone take someone's life within a hundred steps. That required not only strength but also excellent accuracy. Even a talented marksman could not hit the target every time without training.
