As long as they don't send him home, it's fine for him to be a mere soldier... It's just that if his family finds out, they'll mock him.
But he believes that as long as he can stay in the camp, he will surely make some achievements, return home with pride, and confidently tell his family: I don't need the imperial exams, I can still be successful!
"Men, drag Zhong Yu to the punishment camp and give him twenty heavy strikes with the military cane." Qin San Lang called in two young soldiers to drag Zhong Yu away and personally supervised the punishment.
Bam bam bam!
With twenty strikes of the cane, Zhong Yu was nearly beaten to death.
However, Qin San Lang had already signaled to the punishing soldiers, so although Zhong Yu looked severely beaten, it was only flesh wounds, with no damage to the bones.
Can't have the bones injured; we need to take him to the mountains for training, how can he train if his bones are hurt?
