Su Bin inquired, “Is this the reason you brought your second and third brothers to the prefecture capital?”

Qin Zhenzhen nodded affirmatively, saying, “Yes, indeed.”

Little did she antic.i.p.ate that Su Bin would approach her after dinner.

“Second Brother, I have something I’d like to ask you.” “What’s on your mind?” Second Brother inquired.

“I’m curious, are you planning to stay with Oin Silong indefinitely?”

He nodded decisively. “As long as he doesn’t push me away, I’ll likely remain by his side.”

He elaborated, “Third Brother, you might not be aware, but Qin Silong possesses a mult.i.tude of hidden talents! He’s an exceptionally capable individual.”

Unashamedly, he confessed, “I’m not embarra.s.sed to admit it. I genuinely look up to him now. I even dream about becoming his disciple.”

Su Bin interjected with a hint of caution, “That depends on whether he’s willing or not.”

In reality, Su Bin could discern that Qin Silong harbored some prejudice against his second brother.

Initially, Qin Silong’s att.i.tude toward the second brother had been extremely hostile, if not downright antagonistic. Su Bin believed it stemmed from his second brother’s outburst that day when he tried to teach them a lesson.

However, he later realized his misjudgment.

During that period, Su Qing, his fourth brother, had also shown interest in sparring with the Qin brothers. Qin Silong, however, exhibited a remarkable fondness for his fourth brother.

To the extent that he would save the most delicious treats for Su Qing.

Qin Silong had also expressed numerous times his desire to instruct the Fourth Brother in horseback riding and archery. If it weren’t for the fact that Su Qing had little interest in the art of blades and swords, Qin Silong would have taken him on as his disciple long ago.

Qin Silong’s notably distinct treatment of his second and fourth brothers left Su Bin thoroughly perplexed.

In the end, he couldn’t help but conclude that fate had a peculiar way of playing its hand, indifferent to his own concerns.

Initially, Su Bin had contemplated advising his Second Brother against constantly ingratiating himself with those who were aloof. He couldn’t help but acknowledge that Qin Zhenzhen’s insight had some merit: “Sometimes, you need to s.h.i.+eld your heart. If it refuses to warm up, perhaps it’s time to let go.”

However, after Second Brother had courageously taken a knife for Qin Silong, a remarkable transformation had occurred in Qin Silong’s att.i.tude towards him. The once-hostile gaze had softened into a harmonious coexistence.

Gradually, Qin Silong began imparting his knowledge of horseback riding and archery to Second Brother, deepening their mutual admiration.

Though martial arts training from Qin Silong had yet to be agreed upon,

Second Brother remained undeterred. “Isn’t he already instructing me?”

“I intend to begin with riding and marksmans.h.i.+p. I’ll gradually delve into the other skills,” he confidently declared.

Su Bin decided it was prudent to inform Second Brother about Qin Silong’s plan to enlist in the military camp, preventing any unforeseen shock or disbelief.

“I just learned from Qin Zhenzhen that Qin Silong’s aspiration is to become a general. He intends to enlist in the upcoming spring recruitment for the military camp.”

“Really? Where is the recruitment taking place, and has the announcement for this spring been made?”

Su Bin responded, “The announcement hasn’t been released yet, but Qin Silong has received word that the recruitment this spring will encompa.s.s seven or eight counties under the jurisdiction of the prefecture capital.”

“When the time comes, Qin Silong will undoubtedly enlist.”

“I want to join the military camp too! I aspire to become a general as well!”

Su Bin stared at him in astonishment. “Are you genuinely prepared to endure the rigors of military life?”

“Take a moment to reflect on this. Enrolling in the military camp means not only enduring hards.h.i.+ps but also being potentially thrust into the battlefield, where your life may hang in the balance at any given moment!”

Su Bin’s words stoked the fires within him. He remembered his brother-in-law’s fearless deeds, defending the border against invaders by valiantly vanquis.h.i.+ng foes..
