“Some can play the lute, some can play the zither, some can ring the chime bell, some can play the flute…
“Wufu asked them to play music when he started the compet.i.tion. He felt that it would be a good atmosphere and a great honor. At first, they were a bit embarra.s.sed as they were afraid of being laughed at by others.
“However, Wufu accompanied them at the start. They were laughing at him at first. Gradually, they became more and more open-minded.
“Whenever they were free, they would go to the drill ground. If they could play music for Wufu, they would play music. If they couldn’t play music, they would play around. It was fine as long as they had fun. Usually, there was not much entertainment in the military camp, especially for the cooks.
“In the beginning, it was Wufu and those people who pooled their own money to buy the musical instruments. Later, the general found out and thought that the musical instruments should be bought by the military camp.
“He said that it was all thanks to Wufu and the others that the military camp turned into a family. He returned the money to Wufu and the others regardless of how much they bought it. He also asked people to buy more musical instruments.
“However, these musical instruments aren’t considered private property. They belong to the military camp, but Wufu and the others can go to the warehouse to get them at any time.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not surprised that some of them had a special skill. After all, the Southern Army had 200,000 soldiers. There must be someone who has a special skill.
It was just that they had not expected that there would be music involved.
However, Shao Shutings method of buying musical instruments from the military camp made it no wonder that everyone in the military camp admired Shao Shuting.
“Quick, quick, quick. Let’s go too.” Except for the cooks who had to stay on duty, the rest of the cooks tied red ribbons on their heads and went to the drill ground happily.
This time, without waiting for Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to be puzzled, Shiye had already said, “They’re going to cheer for Wufu when he appears.”
There was actually such a thing?
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other. To be honest, they did not expect Wufu to be so talented in this aspect.
Shiye hesitated for a moment before continuing, “As soon as the compet.i.tion starts, everyone will be very happy and lively, so it’s easy to forget the time. It’s also easy for many people to not have the energy to train and be on duty the next day. Therefore, a few days ago, the Great General has already ordered that even if the compet.i.tion starts, it will only be allowed for an hour at noon and two hours at night at most. Before midnight, everyone must disperse and go to bed.”
Xue Yan nodded, feeling that this order should be given to maintain control over the soldiers.
Jiang Yue also nodded. It was a little early for night owls to go to bed, but for normal people who had to get up early the next day to go to sleep. Midnight was just right to go to bed.
When they looked like they were going to let loose, they naturally had nothing to be puzzled about.
“We should go over soon.” Seeing that it was almost time for them to go over, Xue Sanfu, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up with a dull voice to the two children.
“Yes.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan obediently responded and followed Sanfu to the main camp’s drill ground.
Shiye followed while clutching his weapon.
Before they reached the drill ground, they could hear the clamor of people trying to see what was going on.
The instruments started playing and it had a particularly domineering effect on the crowd..
