As Wang Chong's first base in the Kunwu Training Camp, Wang Chong was extremely important to him. Thus, the renovations were extremely meticulous.
And the results showed that it was indeed effective.
"Is everything prepared?"
While everyone was looking around, Wang Chong turned to look at the guard by the side. He vaguely recalled that this person was called Huang Liang, and Uncle Li Lin had mentioned him before. Everything here was under this person's control, and he was an extremely reliable person.
"Gongzi, everything is prepared."
Huang Liang replied with a deep and respectful voice.
"Lead the way."
Wang Chong nodded.
At the entrance of the main hall of the residence, several six-chi long pieces of paper were laid out, and a paper laminator was standing respectfully by the side.
Beside the paper was a bowl-sized ink pot.
When Wang Chong walked up to the entrance, he immediately caught everyone's attention. Zhao Jingdian, Zhuang Zhengping, Chi Weisi, Xu Qi, Gao Feng, Nie Yan, Chen Burang, and Chen Zhiming walked over.
Their gazes were gathered on Wang Chong, and there was a faint hint of expectation in their eyes.
"Bring me a brush!"
Wang Chong said as he stretched out his hand.
"Gongzi!"
A guard immediately passed the brush over to Wang Chong.
The atmosphere suddenly turned solemn.
All of the construction had been completed, and the interior decorations had been completed as well. According to the rules, as the owner of this residence, he should name it after the construction was completed.
But everyone knew that there was more to it than that.
Wang Chong gripped the heavy brush, a pensive look on his face.
Ever since his reincarnation, this was the first time he had stepped out and presented himself and the Wang Clan to the world.
This residence and this base would be of great significance to him in the future.
Dipping the brush several times larger than an ordinary brush into the bowl-sized ink pot, Wang Chong already knew what he should do.
"Strategizing the world!"
"Protect the common people through martial arts!"
Two sentences of fourteen words were eloquent. Wang Chong's' righteousness' was unflattering. However, Wang Chong's cursive script was a different story.
As the saying goes, the brush moves like a serpent. The most important thing about cursive writing was the emotions contained in the writer, while calligraphy was secondary.
These two lines of words contained Wang Chong's life's revenge. Although it was not the work of a master, it had a majestic aura.
"As a general, one must know the art of war and not know strategy. The Kunwu Training Camp was a general training camp, not a training camp for soldiers. As a general, the most important thing was to stop the war and suppress the world. In the future, this place would be called Deflecting Blade Manor. This is the true essence of martial arts! "
As Wang Chong spoke, his brush moved like a serpent as he wrote the last horizontal line.
When these words were written, a majestic aura gushed out from the paper.
Stop the war, stop the war!
He did not manage to do it in his previous life, and this was his deepest regret. That was why he came back from the dead.
Glory, riches, favor, loss... In this life, he no longer cared about these things. No matter what price he had to pay, he had to accomplish this goal.
Because this was his' mission '!
In that instant, Wang Chong felt agitated, and a majestic aura gushed out from his body. It wasn't the aura of this fifteen-year-old boy, but the War God of the Central Plains, the final Grand Marshal of the Central Plains, who had gone through countless trials and tribulations in his previous life!
In that instant, the entire Deflecting Blade Manor fell silent.
Looking at the words on the paper and the majestic aura emanating from Wang Chong, everyone in the courtyard was dazed.
Even the Imperial Army guard's face paled.
The aura emanating from Wang Chong was simply too powerful. In his previous life, he was the War God of the Central Plains, a figure whom even the foreign cavalrymen feared. How could these ordinary Imperial Army guards possibly bear such an aura?
All of the guards, including Zhao Jingdian, Zhuang Zhengping, Chi Weisi, Sun Zhiming, and Chen Burang, were deeply intimidated, and none of them could say a word.
No one knew what had happened to Wang Chong.
But that unparalleled might, the majestic aura, and the aura he exuded were deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.
Yet, that intimidating aura only lasted for an instant before disappearing without a trace. Wang Chong retracted the aura he exuded from his previous life, and just like a massive iceberg, he sank back to the bottom of the lake after revealing a corner of his true self!
This wasn't the time for him to reveal his other self.
Wang Chong soon reverted back to his original appearance.
"Old mister, I'll have to trouble you to frame it for me."
Wang Chong said to the old mister whom he had invited over from the capital.
"Yes, gongzi."
The old mister glanced at the two poems on the table, and a hint of admiration flashed across his eyes. Then, he respectfully took the two poems from Wang Chong and began to frame them.
Behind him, the crowd also seemed to have awoken from a dream.
"Deflecting Blade Manor! Deflecting Blade Manor! What a good name! "
"It's very poetic, and it suits the mood of this place."
"To think that gongzi's poem would be so good as well."
…
Everyone quickly recovered from their daze. Clearly, they were very fond of this name.
"It's good that everyone likes it. Stopping war through martial arts is the way to bring peace to the world. The goal of us, the students of Kunwu Training Camp, is to stop war and protect the world. In the future, feel free to visit us whenever you have the time. "
Wang Chong smiled as he turned to the crowd behind him.
"Yes, gongzi!"
The crowd replied respectfully. Unknowingly, they had already formed a group that viewed Wang Chong as their leader. Be it in terms of strength, standing, reputation, or background, Wang Chong was the undisputed number one.
And Wang Chong had already proven himself through his actions.
"Jingdian, this is the first batch of names that I've drafted. Help me distribute them. Soldiers are valued for their quality, not quantity. Seven people should be enough for the first batch. "
Wang Chong passed over a list of names that he had prepared in advance.
There were a hundred generals in Kunwu Training Camp, but Wang Chong didn't intend to invite all of them. Rice had to be eaten bite by bite. First, Wang Chong wanted to invite the most influential people to join Deflecting Blade Manor.
Once Deflecting Blade Manor's influence in Kunwu Training Camp grew, there would be an endless stream of people trying to join Deflecting Blade Manor.
When that time came, Wang Chong could send out invitations to these people, and everything would fall into place.
"Gongzi, will the art of war be taught here?"
A voice came from the side. Sun Zhiming was standing in the crowd, looking fervently at Wang Chong with a fiery gaze.
He remembered that Wang Chong had mentioned the art of war. Martial arts was a minor Dao, but the art of war was the major Dao. It was something that only the clans of generals could grasp.
And it wasn't taught in Kunwu Training Camp.
He had looked into it over the past few months. There was no doubt about it.
"Un!"
Wang Chong nodded. He wasn't surprised at Sun Zhiming's reaction. This was a natural talent for generals, and in his previous life, he was the one who loved to launch surprise attacks and ambush.
Sun Zhiming's instincts had awakened.
"As a general, one must know the art of war. Those who wish to enter Deflecting Blade Manor in the future will have to pass the most basic examination on the art of war."
Wang Chong said.
The art of war in this world was truly crude. At the very least, that was how Wang Chong saw it. There was another reason why Wang Chong was conducting the examination on the art of war in Deflecting Blade Manor. He hoped to use his proficiency as the War Saint of the Central Plains to temper and nurture the future generals of the Central Plains.
If these future generals could pass his examination, they would become even stronger than they were in his previous life.
And to the Tang dynasty, this would be a blessing in disguise.
As the last Grand Marshal of the Central Plains in his previous life, Wang Chong had used tens of thousands of soldiers to hold back an enemy that was ten times his size, allowing the Central Plains to survive for several decades and wipe out a large number of foreign invaders.
In terms of the art of war, there was no one in this era who could surpass him. Even the legendary war god of the Tang dynasty, So Jung-son, had lost to him, needless to say, others.
"Art of war? Hehehe, lad, you sure talk big! — — "
Just as Wang Chong said those words, a voice suddenly sounded from outside, and it was swiftly approaching. In the blink of an eye, several figures appeared at the entrance.
"Instructor Zhao!"
"Instructor Zhou!"
At the gate of the Deflecting Blade Manor, two muscular and valiant figures walked in, one in front and one behind, their heads held high.
Even Wang Chong was surprised to see them. To think that they would be Zhao Qianqiu and Zhou Huang!
The former was the teacher of Wang Chong and Zhao Jingdian in the training camp while the latter had a life-and-death comrade with them on the night of the Goguryeon assault.
"Instructors, why are you here?"
Surprised, Wang Chong hurried forward to welcome them.
"Hahaha, I've always wanted to see who would be so daring as to set his sights on the Kunwu Training Camp and build a private residence so close to it. And now, it's indeed you! "
Zhao Qianqiu laughed heartily.
Zhou Huang hurriedly walked forward and greeted the crowd.
"You're really a cunning fellow. The royal court is currently clearing up the surrounding land. I heard that the Bureau of Works and the Court of Judicial Review have issued a joint decree that all land within ten li of the training camp is strictly prohibited, and no private residences are to be built. I heard that the royal court has already sold the rights to this mountain to you. I couldn't even take it back even if I wanted to! "
Zhou Huang reprimanded jokingly.
"That lad has always been this fast, don't you know that? In my opinion, the rule from the Bureau of Works and the Court of Judicial Review is aimed at that lad. Those bastards from the Court of Judicial Review didn't even take a look when they were approving the land. They only realized it after making such a huge loophole! "
Zhao Qianqiu said.
"Lords, you already know that this is my private residence. Is it really appropriate for you to say such words in front of me?"
Wang Chong chuckled. As such, as soon as Kunwu Training Camp opened, Zhang Xuan immediately bought the land here. Given the current situation, it was within his expectations that the royal court would ban the sale of land in the vicinity.
"Hehe, it's best if I say it in front of you. There's no need to stand on ceremony with that lad. "
Zhao Qianqiu reprimanded jokingly.
Casually pulling a purple rattan chair over, Zhao Qianqiu couldn't help but praise it for its comfort.
"Lad, you said that you're conducting a military strategy examination here. You sure are arrogant. Let me ask you, do you know the art of war? "
Zhao Qianqiu sat down on the rattan chair and lightly knocked on the table before him as he asked.
"Lord, are you going to guide me?"
Wang Chong chuckled as he sat opposite Zhao Qianqiu.
"Hehe, it seems like you aren't convinced. It's fine for you kids to spar with one another. As for the art of war … don't lead them astray. This isn't something that can be taught casually. Come, come, come! If you can defeat me, you can teach them the art of war here. "
Zhao Qianqiu said.
Even though his words sounded like a joke, Wang Chong could sense a hint of seriousness in Zhao Qianqiu's words.
Clearly, Zhao Qianqiu didn't approve of him teaching the art of war here.
The art of war was the way of a general!
The slightest mistake could result in death. Not only would he be harming himself, his subordinates would also die a graveless death. This was also the reason why the Kunwu Training Camp didn't teach the art of war.
