Chapter 294 The Little Nun 22
Having received those words, Xue Zhen left the camp and sat on the mountain next to the laborers' camp for a long time.
Looking at the bustling activity in the labor camp, he finally had to confront his own cowardice and... arrogance.
How could he dare to arbitrarily arrange his brothers' future, how could he dare to hand those people over to other people?
No one in this world wants those people to be well more than him.
If that's the case, why can't he create their future himself?
As for whether he is incompetent or not?
After that day comes, many capable people will be at his service.
If they can't be used, then kill them, kill them until they have no choice but to use them.
Anyway, he's a brute, so he should do what a brute does!
Sitting from dawn till dusk, Xue Zhen felt refreshed and rode his warhorse with unprecedented ease towards the camp.
Then he encountered Ling Yi, who had come looking for him...
What a coincidence!
She came looking for him.
This person, whom he had only met once, pointed out his cowardice in a scathing way, forcing him to step out of his self-delusional world.
She should be his benefactor, but for some reason, Xue Zhen always felt very uncomfortable when facing her.
Those eyes that could see right through him made him instinctively look away.
The hand holding the knife against his neck made him unable to look directly at it.
Riding on his warhorse, Xue Zhen's usually calm heart was filled with agitation.
He had never felt this kind of agitation before, and he didn't know why it had arisen.
He took a deep breath and said, "I was wrong."
That's fine, he was wrong to begin with, he should admit it, otherwise he'll never be able to hold his head up high when he sees her again.
Ling Yi raised an eyebrow: "I don't understand what the general is saying."
As the man turned his head, she smiled and said, "General, you are the master of the righteous army and the one to whom we are loyal. We will carry out any decision you make."
"You haven't gone astray, you're just temporarily lost."
Xue Zhen stared at the woman in the moonlight, at her hair fluttering in the wind, and remained stunned for a long time.
How come someone who was so sharp, who seemed ready to pierce someone's heart with a single knife, now looks so gentle?
Xue Zhen could even see the tenderness in her tolerant eyes, as if...
His ears suddenly turned red. Xue Zhen couldn't figure out what it looked like, but it made him feel as if he were soaking in warm water, which was extremely comfortable.
That sense of shame and vulnerability that had been exposed was nowhere to be found at that moment.
His Adam's apple bobbed, concealing his tension in the darkness, and he gripped the reins tightly, saying, "You're right, this is my righteous army."
He smiled nonchalantly: "Of course, it's up to me to decide."
Those scheming and despicable people are nothing but dirt chickens and dogs if he wants to deal with them.
It's going to be tough on Master Xu, though; he'll have a lot of work to do next!
He cracked his whip and spurred his horse hard, his voice carrying laughter through the wind: "Let's race again and see who gets to the camp first."
"childish."
Ling Yi said calmly, then suddenly spurred her horse forward.
With her divine steed, how could she possibly lose?
In front of the camp, Ling Yi rode her warhorse, glanced arrogantly at Xue Zhen who was a few steps behind her, pulled on the reins, and headed inside.
Xue Zhen, who was left behind, was not annoyed. He laughed for a while for no apparent reason before throwing his riding whip to the waiting guard and ordering, "Have Master Xu come to see me tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
……
Some things are easy to think about, but quite troublesome to do.
For example, the idea of killing to solve all problems, which some people with only muscles in their brains thought of, was rejected by Master Xu as soon as it was uttered.
“Absolutely not!” Master Xu frowned. “If we execute them without warning, the other generals will all feel insecure.”
"Although we currently have a strategic advantage in terrain, we are not entirely safe. If any trouble breaks out in the camp, the Southern army will not let the opportunity pass!"
He certainly knew how formidable the general was, and that he could subdue everyone, but that depended on the circumstances!
The Southern army is eyeing you covetously, and you also have internal strife on your side. Isn't this just tempting them to attack you?
The option of losing a battle was something Master Xu had never considered, especially with Xue Zhen present.
However, chaos and turmoil are inevitable, and the civilian labor camps on the outskirts will be the first to suffer the disaster.
Who doesn't know how much the general values those people?
If they were to be harmed as a result, the general who had just escaped the dead end would probably rush back into it, which is absolutely unacceptable!
"This won't work, that won't work, what am I supposed to do?"
A day passed, and the council tent had been restored to its original state; the chairs were still the same, only much newer.
Master Xu sat in his new chair, sipping his not-so-good tea, his brow furrowed deeply: "Of course, we must consider this carefully; absolutely not..."
"Report!"
The voices of the royal guards outside interrupted their meeting.
"Enter!"
Given the opportunity to be liberated, Xue Zhen immediately changed his appearance and let people in.
At that moment, he even hoped that it was a small-scale probing attack by the Southern army.
That way, he could go to war instead of listening to things he couldn't understand from Old Xu!
"General, Lieutenant General Ling has started fighting with two lieutenants from the Zhao family." The messenger's expression was anxious and his tone was urgent.
Xue Zhen suddenly stood up: "What?"
"General, you must go and take a look..."
Later on, those two General Zhaos will be killed by General Ling!
But before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind blew up his clothes, and the general disappeared without a trace.
Master Xu's beard fluttered in the wind as he slowly rose to his feet: "Tell me what happened."
"Yes!"
When Xue Zhen rushed to the scene, he saw Ling Yi pressing down on the two generals and beating them hard.
Zhao Da's face was no longer visible; he lay on the ground, and it was unclear whether he had fainted.
Zhao Er, being reckless, was still putting up a fierce resistance, though his resistance was weak and he was often beaten up.
Behind him were their personal guards, who were glaring at Ling Yi with hatred. If it weren't for Xue Zhen's personal guards blocking them, they would have already rushed up and started beating her.
At that moment, Xue Zhen's chief guard shouted, "Lieutenant General Ling, if you continue to be so insolent, we will fire our arrows!"
As for why he only shouted instead of stepping forward to pull them apart...
I had just gone in when I was grabbed by the collar and thrown out. Although I wasn't seriously injured, it was a real blow to my self-esteem.
I don't know how this seemingly frail General Ling could have such great strength.
"What's the fuss about?"
Seeing that the bow had already been drawn, Xue Zhen said in a deep voice, "Put the bow down!"
As he was saying these words, he clearly saw Ling Yi kick Zhao Er in the waist and then spin him around.
Xue Zhen's eyelids twitched, but he pretended not to notice her little movement.
