Since they have already made their plans, we shouldn't just stand here pretending to be important! Frustrated, Luzi didn't bother to say goodbye and turned to grab the still-dazed Wang Jian, pulling him outside. "Wuan Jun, please stay! No need to see us off! I can't accept that!"
Hearing someone in a daze, Wang Jian looked back apologetically as he was dragged away. This was in the Military! Leaving without saying goodbye to the Commander could easily lead to punishment.
Unexpectedly, Bai Qi, sitting in the Main Tent, seemed completely unaware that anyone would dare to be so rude. When Wang Jian turned back to look, Bai Qi merely waved his hand to indicate he could leave slowly, then picked up a military book and resumed his reading, ignoring the departing guests.
Confused, Wang Jian was pulled by Luzi to the warhorse. He forcefully shook off Luzi's grip and angrily said, "Is it just because they won't give us troops? There's no need to go crazy over it!" Just then, he saw Luzi mount the horse. "General! Where are we going?"
Luzi pouted and replied, "Where else could we go!? Didn't you complain about not having soldiers to use? Come on! Follow me; we'll have wind when we want wind and rain when we want rain. We'll divide the gold and silver fairly and drink and feast!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jian nearly lost his mind and dared not mount the horse. It sounded like they were going to become bandits, and leaving without permission from the Grand Commander would lead to consequences under Military Law!
"General! You need to think this through; both of us are state officials receiving salaries. If we really become bandits, it will be difficult to wait for amnesty and return to legitimacy. If you don't say where we're going, I can't follow!"
Seeing Wang Jian constantly looking back as he spoke, Luzi had no choice but to indicate that they were returning to their Old Unit. The Grand Commander repeatedly stated that there were no troops available for deployment at this time; it was clear he wanted them back at their Old Unit!
Wang Jian felt like he was truly losing his mind! How did an Old Unit come into play? The troops capable of fighting in the Shangdang Region were all here; the only ones left were stationed at Daliang Mountain... but he didn't know anyone there!
Luzi, who was dragging his feet and reluctant to leave, simply ignored Wang Jian. He raised his hand to signal Bai Qi's Guard to set off and then rode away with his Guard from the Central Army.
Left behind, Wang Jian was at a loss. He couldn't understand what these two were doing. Was this still an army with such disregard for rules? Just as he hesitated, he looked up and saw Luzi leading his team out of the Central Army. Looking back at Bai Qi in the Main Tent who remained indifferent, he had no choice but to take the reins handed over by the Soldiers.
Wang Jian mounted his horse and chased after their departing figures. He had made up his mind; no matter what, he had to stop Luzi. Even if they wanted to find some Old Unit, they needed the Grand Commander's approval first. This was a position in the Military; it wasn't just about going wherever one pleased!
Luzi heard the hurried hoofbeats approaching from behind and couldn't help but smile and shake his head. When Wang Jian caught up, he indicated that this was what the Grand Commander meant. There was no need to feel pressured; even if there were problems, it was still an order from this general to return!
Wang Jian had prepared a set of arguments, but Luzi quickly countered them. After swallowing hard, he asked Luzi how he knew this was Wuan Jun's intention. Troop redeployment and a general leaving the camp required the Commander's approval.
Yet, we didn't even exchange greetings and just left in a huff...
Seeing Wang Jian drenched in sweat, Luzi decided not to make things difficult for him. He explained that there was a magical understanding here, as communication between people sometimes doesn't require words. Perhaps just a glance or an expression could convey thousands of unspoken words in an instant.
Whether you believe it or not is unimportant; you will have opportunities to experience it in the future!
Since Wang Jian officially joined the army, everything and everyone he encountered had been straightforward. After all, this was the military, where there weren't many topics that needed to be veiled. As time passed, some of his innate perceptions became dull due to long-term neglect.
However, this dullness was simply because he hadn't used those skills; it didn't mean he had never been trained in that area. With Luzi's reminder, he quickly understood what was going on. While lamenting that his perception was becoming increasingly dull, he acknowledged that perhaps the truth of the matter was as Lu Zigang had said.
Upon hearing this, Luzi pulled on the reins to stop. "Is it necessary for General Wang to go back? But... it seems there's no need for that anymore!"
Facing the intense training from before, his heightened perception was essential for executing missions. After all, there were many situations where communication couldn't occur verbally; at such times, subtle gestures or mere glances could convey messages.
As soldiers, they often faced direct violence. The choice between life and death could happen in the blink of an eye. In the face of fleeting communication, there simply wasn't time for anyone to figure things out. Wang Jian's reaction at that moment served as the best proof since the facts had already provided the answer.
Wang Jian looked up at the blue sky and suddenly felt that he could never go back. The arduous training from years ago still haunted him despite the passage of time. He gritted his teeth at the thought of experiencing it again and had no confidence in doing so.
Indeed, going back would be less appealing than heading straight into battle for a satisfying fight! Even if he were shot dead by stray arrows on the spot, it would be better than enduring a living hell without dying!
Luzi turned to look at Wang Jian's expression and shook his head with a smile. Human perception is like a sharp blade; when not in use, its keen edge gradually dulls until it disappears completely. Once a blade loses its sharpness, it is not easy to regain it even if re-forged.
Deciding not to trouble Wang Jian any further, Luzi glanced at the Cavalry Unit waiting not far away, squeezing his legs to remind Seven Star Black Steed that it was time to follow. He waited for Wang Jian to catch up before saying, "Forget it! Everything that exists in this world only has value when used. As for being re-forged, it doesn't matter!"
Hearing such a significant matter brushed aside, Wang Jian finally relaxed. Looking back at the distant Qin Army Camp, a sense of melancholy suddenly arose within him. Perhaps my dreams can never be realized from now on!
Luzi followed suit and looked back at the Main General Flag fluttering in the wind within the camp, knowing what Wang Jian was thinking. He then laughed heartily and said, "General Wang! Brother will make a bet with you right now that not far from here, you will find the answer you seek at this moment. If I'm not mistaken, you will see Sima Jin and his Five Thousand Cavalry there. Now, let’s ride faster! The brothers are still waiting for us! Let’s go!"
Upon hearing Luzi's confident tone, Wang Jian suddenly realized he had been overthinking. If there truly were Five Thousand Cavalry ahead, it meant that this departure was actually within the Grand Commander's operational plan! With that thought in mind, he quickly spurred his horse to catch up.
