Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Shen came out wearing a loose training suit and followed Li Zhiming to the training ground.

Except for the manned garrison, everyone gathered here.

Li Shen saw Qin Qiong at first sight.

"I greet His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

"Meet Duke Yi."

"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Ji will train with the soldiers in the future, which has boosted the morale of the soldiers in the barracks."

Qin Qiong said with a smile.

“Alas, although I was born into a royal family, I want to defend my country just like the soldiers.

Your Majesty often teaches us princes to understand the people's sentiments and lead by example.

Although I cannot fight alongside them, I should still train with them and experience their hardships.”

Li Shen had a sincere look on his face, and Li Zhiming on the side secretly admired him in his heart, otherwise how could he be the Grand Protector General.

It's not just because of his status as a prince, but the way he speaks is full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, which is something not ordinary people can learn.

It was obvious that he was captured as punishment by His Majesty, but now he said that he did it to understand the people's sentiments and lead by example.

Looking at the admiration on the faces of many generals who were unaware of the inside story, Li Zhiming knew that Prince Ji had succeeded.

“Your Highness Prince Ji, Duke Yi is leading 5,000 Right Guards and General Qin of the Left Guards to follow the military training.

If not, Your Highness Prince Ji can follow Duke Yi's Right Guard, the training is basically the same."

After reminiscing about the past, Li Zhiming said to Li Shen.

"Yes, since I want to lead by example, it doesn't matter who I am with. I don't need any special treatment."

Li Shen said this with great righteousness, and won the admiration of many generals.

"All officers, listen up. Morning exercises begin. Each of you will lead your team to set off. When you come back, you will have your meal."

Li Zhiming gave an order to all the generals, and they dispersed.

"What are we doing for morning exercises today?" Li Shen asked, somewhat confused.

"Replying to Prince Ji, according to your plan, the morning exercise is to run, come back to eat after running, rest for half an hour, and then practice according to different types of soldiers.

But His Royal Highness Prince Ji doesn't need to train like that, just run."

Li Zhiming is responsible for supervising Li Shen, so he has to follow Li Shen.

"Running? That's fine." Li Shen nodded. He was really afraid of having to do all kinds of training subjects with them. He would be exhausted to death.

Seeing that the teams were already setting off in an orderly manner, Li Shen asked again:

"How far have you run today?"

"The goal we set for this month's morning exercise is not far away. We just need to run to the foot of the mountain in the north and then run back."

"What did you say?" Li Shen raised his head and looked over the city wall at the mountains in the distance. How far away must they be?

"Isn't this a bit far?"

"Your Highness, we have been running there this month. It's not far, less than ten miles. Didn't Your Highness say that we should run ten miles?"

Li Zhiming smiled and said.

"You're talking nonsense. I said a total of ten miles. You've traveled nearly twenty miles back and forth."

Li Shen immediately asked angrily, how could this person understand what he meant.

"Your Majesty, I know that it wasn't so far before, but now the soldiers are much stronger.

So I just added a little bit this month.”

Seeing that Li Shen was angry, Li Zhiming hurried to explain.

Because the food provided by Li Shen was good, the soldiers' physical fitness also improved.

"That's too much. I'm afraid that the soldiers will become useless after a long time. We need to make some adjustments."

Although Li Shen didn't understand these, he knew many friends who had joined the army before.

What they talked about most was running five kilometers, which they ran every day as a basic training subject. Some people ran twice a day.

But it is rare to hear of someone running ten kilometers in one go, unless it is training for a competition or something.

The soldiers still had to train in their respective subjects after dinner, which Li Shen thought was not a good idea.

When Li Zhiming heard what Li Shen said, he also nodded.

This set of training methods was formulated by King Ji, and King Ji must have his reasons.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We will change it tomorrow. Ten miles in the morning and ten miles in the evening." Li Zhiming agreed.

"Your Highness, it's time to set off." The relative reminded them that it was their turn to set off.

They are the left and right guards and do not belong to the Protectorate, so they are at the back.

Li Shen nodded, followed Qin Huaidao and led the team slowly towards the north.

Qin Qiong was inspecting the team on horseback.

The general leading the team usually follows on horseback, and is responsible for patrolling his team to see if anyone is slacking off or falling behind.

Li Shen ran in front of the team. For the sake of his image, Li Shen worked quite hard at the beginning.

But after running for a while, Li Shen felt that he could not keep up.

However, for the sake of face, Li Shen has been holding on.

He felt his lungs wheezing like a bellows.

Li Shen has been here for more than ten years. Except for the time when he was chased and beaten by his father and he ran for his life, Li Shen rarely even walked at other times.

When going out, he either rode a horse or took a car, and he could only take a walk around his house.

"My Lord, how about we slow down a bit?"

Looking at Li Shen's expression, Qin Huaidao gave some kind advice.

"well..."

Li Shen and Qin Huaidao left the team and ran slowly at the side, which was actually no different from walking.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Shen started walking, and two quarters of an hour later, Li Shen started running for a while.

"Your Highness, would you like to drink some water and take a rest?" Shi Tou, who was accompanying him, asked with concern.

Li Shen turned around and saw Shitou following him with a water bottle and a small bag on his back.

"You...you...aren't you tired?" Li Shen asked.

"Well...I am tired too, yes, as tired as the prince." Shitou nodded vigorously.

Looking tired.

"Get out of my way."

Looking at Shi Tou who was pretending to be active, Li Shen suddenly felt frustrated. His playmate didn't even notice that he was exercising.

I haven't felt tired for such a long time. Is it because of abstinence?

How come there are so many benefits after having a baby? It improves memory and health.

Judging from the appearance of the stone, it should be no problem to run for a while longer.

He now wondered if he would be inferior to Chunxiang and Dongmei if they came.

Shitou was also puzzled. He had told lies to take care of the prince's feelings, so why was the prince still angry?

Li Shen walked and ran for half an hour. The other teams had already run back, and he really couldn't run anymore.

I fell down on the grass and looked at the white clouds in the sky, my eyes feeling a little dizzy.

Li Shen knew that he was a little short of oxygen, fortunately he had lived here for almost two years in total.

Otherwise, I might die here now.

The soldiers of the Protectorate had adapted to the plateau environment for four or five years since the time when there were no important cities in Qinghai Road.

That's why they don't have much impact during strenuous exercise.

If Li Shimin were to run now, he would probably suffer from altitude sickness.

But that's not right.
