Chapter 518: This Is a General!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liang Yi’s lips twitched. Hey, dear mother!
But then he thought, ‘Did my parents ever spare the rod in their discipline?1
When Huangfu Lingyao was mentioned, and the worry about his injury crept into Liu s.h.i.+mei’s mind, she grew a bit anxious.
At that moment, she had already been led out the door by Madam Yin. Shortly after, the door slammed shut heartlessly!
Liu s.h.i.+mei,”…”
I haven’t left yet!
Liang Sheng said, “Let’s go, to the guest courtyard.”
Liu s.h.i.+mei had no choice but to follow him, but she was extremely uneasy. She said, “Ninth Brother was also coming to Yong’an Inn because of my invitation. If something goes wrong, it’s because I forced him. Grandpa won’t punish him severely, will he? It won’t be too harsh, right?”
“Don’t worry,” Liang Sheng replied. “Our family’s young ones all grew up this way. Grandfather isn’t someone who can’t differentiate between right and wrong. For matters of principle, he won’t tolerate them and will surely give a sound spanking. But for minor mistakes, it’s usually a punishment that serves as a lesson, encouraging progress. For example…”
His indifferent expression suddenly revealed a hint of a smile. “Stand in a horse stance until dawn!”
Liu s.h.i.+mei,”…”
Indeed, that would promote improvement!
Practicing the horse stance was excellent for building foundational skills!
So, Liang Yi was most likely not going to get any sleep tonight!
Liang Sheng added, “Or for instance, while in the horse stance, each arm is to hold a bucket of water!”
Liu s.h.i.+mei was taken aback.
Liang Sheng’s words weren’t even finished when he added, “And wear another bucket on your head!”
Liu s.h.i.+mei,”…”
She thought that was already pus.h.i.+ng it to the limit, but to her surprise, Liang Sheng continued, “If you spill any water, you’ll get a beating!”
Liu s.h.i.+mei widened her eyes. “So, Ninth Brother is still going to get punished?” “This beating isn’t because of his mistake today,” Liang Sheng explained. “Your grandfather has always been a man of his word. If he says he won’t punish Little Nine for this, then he won’t. But when Little Nine is being punished, it’s usually because his fundamentals are not solid. How can they not be corrected?”
Liang Sheng sighed with his hands behind his back and said, “The men of the Liang family may have to go to the battlefield someday. If they neglect their training even a bit, it could cost them their lives on the battlefield. That’s why there’s no room for complacency during practice.”
Liu s.h.i.+mei understood. “The hards.h.i.+ps they endure during training will save them a drop of blood on the battlefield.”
That’s what it meant to be a warrior.
Even in times of peace, one couldn’t neglect martial skills because they might be called to the front lines at any moment, ready to sacrifice their lives.
One becomes a hero at the cost of many lives. How many return from ancient battles?
Thinking about this, she felt a surge of pa.s.sion welling up in her heart, almost bringing tears to her eyes.
At this moment, she also understood why Liang Wei looked down on Liu Fuyu, that literary scholar son-in-law.
All talk and no action, full of empty words but driven by personal gain!
And in the Great Shu Dynasty, they even valued literary pursuits more than martial ones, further diminis.h.i.+ng the status of warriors!
It was so unfair!
Liang Sheng looked at her approvingly and said, “So, you don’t have to worry. Little Nine will be fine. He’s been a little troublemaker since he was a child. When I start my morning horse stances, he’s already getting beaten. By the time I finish my exercises and start reading and writing, I look, and this little monkey is jumping around again.”
He was only a few years older than Liang Sheng, but their destinies were entirely different.
Liu s.h.i.+mei had no words.
She sighed and turned to look at Liang Sheng’s profile, suddenly saying, “Seventh Uncle, you’re in your twenties now.. Why haven’t you married yet? What if the Emperor suddenly orders you to guard the border? Wouldn’t that be a delay?”
