Chapter 61 Love Rival
Wang Wenzhou arrived at the labor camp training ground.
The prisoners wore white and blue striped uniforms, and each had a unique number printed on the back.
The ranks were neat and the movements were uniform; from a distance, they looked quite like a majestic army.
Wang Zhixin is conducting a military formation drill. Old Wang is waving a flag, and the drummer is striking the drumbeats according to the flag's instructions.
"Bang!" The drumbeat rang out.
"Kill!" the prisoners shouted in unison, slamming their "weapons" down and taking a step forward.
Wang Wenzhou smiled. Old Wang, as expected of a soldier, has a lot of skills.
"boom!"
"kill!"
The prisoners marched forward, stopping and starting, step by step, waving various tools in their hands, such as shovels and hoes, to the rhythm of the music.
Before time-traveling, Wang Wenzhou thought ancient warfare was just about brawls. A few days ago, Old Wang started training soldiers in battle formations. With Old Wang's explanation, Wang Wenzhou finally understood that in ancient warfare, battle formations were the foundation of victory or defeat. Once the formation was disrupted, all the soldiers in the formation might turn and flee.
When Wang Qiang saw Wang Wenzhou approaching, he quickly ran over and asked, "Young Master, you're here. Where's your wife?"
"Why is this little brat asking so many questions? Lazy Blue will be here soon," Wang Wenzhou said with a laugh.
Wang Qiang curled his lip. "Young Master, you're only a year older than me, and you call me a little kid? That's too much!"
Wang Wenzhou stood with his hands behind his back, silently watching Old Wang train. Old Wang was experienced in training troops, and in just a few days, he had transformed a hundred prisoners into the appearance of a regular army. Although Wang Wenzhou had never seen a regular army of the Ming Dynasty, he had seen plenty of yamen runners. Wang Wenzhou felt that these prisoners could easily make a hundred yamen runners cry for their parents.
"Alright! Training is over for today! Dismissed!" Old Wang said.
"Bang!" The prisoners slammed their right fists into their chests in perfect unison.
"Young Master, it's getting late. Why hasn't Miss Sheng arrived yet?" Old Wang walked over and asked Wang Wenzhou.
Sheng Lan has been teaching the prisoners to read these past few days. She always follows Wang Wenzhou's instructions to the utmost, so she's been very dedicated.
Old Wang gradually changed his opinion of Sheng Lan. Although he still disagreed with Sheng Lan marrying the young master, he stopped interfering when the young master kept a mistress, which was considered tacit approval. Even the old lady couldn't do anything about the young master, so what could he do?
"Right, why hasn't Lanlan arrived yet? Is her stomach hurting badly?" Wang Wenzhou waved and said, "Xiaoqiang, come with me to see if Lanlan is sick."
……
At the entrance of Zuihualou.
Wang Wenzhou was completely stunned.
A middle-aged man was seen pulling and tugging at Sheng Lan.
Damn! So the goddess wasn't on her period, she was on a date with her ex-boyfriend! Wang Wenzhou felt like his heart was being stabbed with needles; it really hurt. In both his lives, Wang Wenzhou had never experienced heartache. He always thought heartache was just an adjective to describe sadness. Now he understood that the heart could truly feel pain!
"Damn it! Young master, I'm going to kill him!" Wang Qiang cursed.
"No!" Wang Wenzhou grabbed Wang Qiang.
"Young Master! How can you tolerate this?" Wang Qiang looked at his young master with a puzzled expression. Had his young master gone mad again?
"Sigh!" Wang Wenzhou sighed and said, "If it's going to rain, it's going to rain; if a woman wants to remarry, it's going to be a bad thing. If a woman cheats on you, it means she doesn't love you. It's very difficult to make someone who doesn't love you fall in love with you."
Wang Wenzhou was very fond of the goddess, and these past few days, he had assumed that she had fallen in love with him. The goddess's care for him was meticulous in every way. Even when he got up at night to use the toilet, she wouldn't let him get out of bed, afraid he would catch a cold; she always carried the chamber pot to his bedside for him.
In his previous life, Wang Wenzhou was a loser. He never had a girlfriend who was both beautiful and took care of him like a goddess. In his previous relationships, he was always the one who got dumped.
But today, I saw my goddess and a strange man, getting all tangled up together. And judging from their appearance, their relationship seemed more than just friendship.
"Damn it! A professional conman like me! I've been fooled by a woman!" Wang Wenzhou muttered to himself. He realized he'd been "deceived" by his goddess. The goddess didn't love him; her attentiveness was solely due to her status—he was a county magistrate, while she was a courtesan.
"Young Master, what are you thinking about? That bastard dared to lay a hand on your sister-in-law, he should be thrown in jail." Wang Qiang nudged his young master, reminding him.
"Screw your jail! Forced marriages are never sweet!" Wang Wenzhou slumped to the ground, seemingly deflated.
"Damn it! I'm such an idiot!" Wang Wenzhou muttered to himself. Every day when he washed his face, he saw his reflection in the water and thought he looked ugly! How could such a beautiful goddess like Sheng Lan fall in love with him?
"I'm just being presumptuous!" Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile.
Seeing that his young master's infatuation had flared up again, Wang Qiang tried to dissuade him but couldn't. He rolled up his sleeves, intending to go and help his young master vent his anger. "Damn it! Where did this bastard come from? How dare you flirt with my sister-in-law!"
"Xiaoqiang, stop!" Wang Wenzhou grabbed Wang Qiang.
"Young Master! Don't be silly!" Wang Qiang said with a wry smile.
"You're so stupid! You're too young to understand. You can't force love!" Wang Wenzhou said weakly.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man knelt down, grabbed Sheng Lan's hand, and kept saying something.
Sheng Lan tried to shake off the man's hand, but after several attempts, her hand was still held tightly by the man.
"Young Master, look!" Wang Qiang said.
Seeing Sheng Lan and the middle-aged man's state, Wang Wenzhou felt refreshed and stood up. He rolled up his sleeves and cursed, "Xiao Qiang, let's go! Damn it, how dare he shamelessly pester my girl! Today I'll break all three of this bastard's legs!"
Wang Wenzhou imagined the man must be the goddess's ex-boyfriend. He wanted to get back together with her, after all, they had been in love, which was why she had secretly met with him behind his back. Now the goddess had made things clear and wanted to leave. But her rival was shamelessly clinging on, unwilling to break up.
If the goddess loved you, I could tolerate it! I'd let you two be together forever! But now that the goddess doesn't want you anymore, you still dare to pester me! I can't stand it!
"Fuck you!" Wang Wenzhou roared and rushed over.
"Bang!" Wang Wenzhou kicked his rival in the waist, knocking him to the ground. Although Wang Wenzhou had never practiced martial arts, he was strong and powerful; his 200-plus pounds of flesh were no joke.
"Give them a good beating!" Wang Wenzhou shouted.
"Stop hitting! Stop hitting!" Sheng Lan shouted.
“Sister-in-law! This kind of person, if we don’t beat him to death, he won’t even know who he is!” Wang Qiang said, turning around.
"Lazy Blue, don't worry! Today, I'll definitely beat him so badly that he'll never dare to bother you again!" Wang Wenzhou said.
Just as his rival was about to speak, Wang Wenzhou kicked him in the face. The rival probably bit his tongue, making a "woo-woo" sound, and it was unclear what he was trying to say.
"Wang Wenzhou! Stop!" Seeing that she couldn't stop Wang Wenzhou and Wang Qiang, Sheng Lan bent down and pounced on her rival, using her body to block their punches and kicks.
"Xiaoqiang, stop! Don't hit Lanlan!" Wang Wenzhou shouted.
Wang Wenzhou frowned, feeling a pang of heartache. His goddess was actually protecting her love rival!
"Sheng Lan! I hit him, and you feel sorry for me?" Wang Wenzhou's way of addressing the goddess has changed.
