Chapter 293 - 295: A Pair of Blockheads
Twenty-odd li outside Chu City lies the Great Mu Family Army Camp.
With nearby forests and a river, it is an excellent location for an encampment.
After the morning court, Dugu Wu and Mu Nianzhi rode in a horse carriage and arrived at the camp shortly.
As they approached the camp, they heard the war drums beating loud and clear, their sound piercing the heavens.
At this time, Feng Luochen, dressed in the grey uniform of a new recruit and holding a long spear, stood tall and straight in the middle of a long line of recruits.
After returning to Chu City, Dongfang Lianhua breathed a sigh of relief, allowing Feng Luochen to abandon the pen for the sword.
With a strong desire to stand out and protect his mother and sister, Feng Luochen found the Mu Family Army’s recruitment drive to be a golden opportunity.
The reason Dugu Wu could become the great renowned God of War of Great Chu before the age of thirty, known as the Ninth Prince, was because of his illustrious military achievements.
Looking all over Great Chu, perhaps only the founding emperor had such military accomplishments.
If Feng Luochen wished to wrest Feng Bailing back from coercion, he had no choice but to join the army.
He figured that since Dugu Wu started from the ranks of common soldiers, he too would start from the bottom, and thus, he concealed his true identity, renaming himself as Luochen, keeping secret the fact that he had cultivated the Wuji Seal.
Joining the new recruits was just the first step. He had heard that Mr. Mu intended to form a Vanguard Camp, and all recruits longed to join this Vanguard Camp, which would be at the forefront of battle. Thus, he came early today to take part in their selection.
