On the other side, Xiao Qirui had his injuries bandaged by the military doctor. He looked at Liu Jinbao, who was standing opposite him, and was about to give him some advice when Xiao Li walked in anxiously. “General, bad news. Lieutenant Song is fighting with someone.”
Not many people knew Song Jinghuan’s identity. Coincidentally, they were all in this tent.
However, neither side knew that the other person knew.
As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, Liu Jinbao had already run out before Xiao Qirui could react.
Xiao Qirui looked at Liu Jinbao’s back and was stunned for a moment. He frowned and stood up to walk out. He asked, “What happened?”
Xiao Lisui told him what he had found out.
Halfway there, they happened to meet Meng Wu.
Meng Wu was in his early forties this year. He had a full beard and a pair of sharp eyes.
The two of them were of the same level, but Xiao Qirui was a Junior, so he greeted first, “General Meng.”
Meng Wu nodded and sighed. “I’ve heard about what happened. General Xiao, don’t worry. I’ll definitely punish them well later. However, you don’t have to be too anxious. The soldiers I brought out know their limits. No one will die.”
His words meant two things. Firstly, he would punish his soldiers for their mistakes. Secondly, he was implying that Xiao Qirui’s men were inferior to his.
Xiao Qirui’s eyes darkened. There were countless generals of all sizes in the military camp, let alone a small 100-man captain. He came because of Sister
Huan.
As for Meng Wu…
He had probably gotten someone to keep an eye on him since a long time ago and only came when he appeared.
Thinking of that girl’s ability, Xiao Qirui’s lips curled up slightly. “General Meng is right.”
Meng Wu inexplicably had goosebumps under his gaze.
By the time they arrived, the arena around the training grounds was already filled with soldiers.
“Does Liu Yang want to die? He even dares to provoke Daredevil Song.” A soldier from Chang’an shook his head, his face filled with excitement.
A local soldier beside him snorted. ‘What Daredevil Song? He’s just a little child who hasn’t even grown up. Only you treat him as a hero.”
“No matter how young he is, he’s killed hundreds of enemy troops and became the captain of a hundred troops. He’s not like some people who actually know how to complain sourly even though they’re not capable.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means what it means. Don’t you local soldiers like to say that grapes are sour when you can’t eat them?”
Seeing that the conflict between the two of them was about to become a conflict between the imperial court and the local army, someone shouted,
“General Xiao and General Meng are here. ”
Everyone immediately fell silent and walked to the sides to make way for them.
In the arena, Song Jinghuan and Liu Yang were fighting fiercely.
After all, Liu Yang was a man. His strength was not something a
twelve-year-old girl could compare to. Fortunately, she was agile and had been taught by a few people. Her moves were so chaotic that Liu Yang could not figure them out at all. It was impossible to catch her and win with strength. When he heard that the generals had arrived, Liu Yang subconsciously turned around to look. Song Jinghuan took this opportunity to strike between his legs.
A shocking cry of pain sounded from the arena. Everyone hurriedly looked over and saw Liu Yang kneeling in the arena with both hands covering his lower body. Daredevil Song grabbed his collar with one hand and punched his face with the other.
Everyone looked at each other. Just now, they were only focused on looking at the two generals who had suddenly arrived. What exactly happened in the arena?
Liu Jinbao, who had been staring nervously at the arena, silently clamped his legs.
This little demoness…
Meng Wu, who also saw the commotion, mocked with a dark expression, “It’s just a victory from a sneak attack.”
Xiao Qirui shook his head in disagreement. “Soldiers don’t care about sneak attacks on the battlefield. What do you think, General Meng?”
Meng Wu narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
“General Meng.” Xiao Qirui stopped him. “During special times, Liu Yang didn’t make a big mistake. It’s fine if he gets twenty strokes of the cane, but there’s no need to punish him too much.”
He was reminding Meng Wu not to forget what he had just said.
The soldiers gasped. If twenty military rods wasn’t considered a heavy punishment, what was a heavy punishment? Beheading?
Meng Wu clenched his fists and instructed coldly, “Bring Liu Yang along.”
Liu Yang felt his head buzz. Before he could react, he was dragged away by two soldiers.
Song Jinghuan chased after her. “Hey, I’m not done yet.”
“Song Huan!”
Song Jinghuan’s body stiffened. She slowly turned around and looked guiltily at the angry person below. “Hehe, why are you here, General?”
Xiao Qirui said indifferently, “Come with me.”
He used to think that his sister was already out of line. Now, compared to this girl, Xiao Ruoshui was simply too obedient.
He questioned Song Jingchen’s ability to control his younger siblings.
Along the way, Xiao Qirui had already thought of a lesson. Unexpectedly, before he could say a word, more than ten people knelt in front of him.
Xiao Qirui was speechless. When did these people follow him in?
Sun Hao thought to himself, “We’ve been following behind the little lieutenant.”
“General, the little general fought with Liu Yang because of us. If you want to punish someone, punish us.”
“That’s right. This has nothing to do with the young general. If you want to punish someone, punish us.”
The corners of Xiao Qirui’s mouth twitched. He glanced at a certain person who gave a perfectly innocent look. “Who said I was going to punish her?” He was educating her!
“Did you hear that? The general won’t punish me. Get up quickly.” Song Jinghuan kicked Sun Hao.
Sun Hao understood and quickly stood up. “Thank you, General. Then we won’t disturb you here.”
Afraid that Xiao Qirui would go back on his word, the dozen or so people surrounded Song Jinghuan and left the tent.
Xiao Qirui thought to himself, “If you want to leave, so be it.. Why did you take the little girl with you? Did I say that she could leave?”
