Chapter 86 Leave if you fail!
However, these four people had no intention of talking to him, so Pang Li just said in a loud voice:
"Just bring it to me when I tell you to! As for how we divide it up later, what does it have to do with you? After three years of managing it, do you really think it belongs to you? You have to intervene and clarify everything."
Yuan Wu's face turned red and white, and he felt extremely embarrassed.
But the other party had a higher military rank and stronger strength than him, and now with the emperor's order, Yuan Wu couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal. He could only try to ignore other people's gazes and agree.
After the matter was settled, General Pang Li turned to look at Ye Qiongying, who had taken the initiative to stand aside, and looked her up and down:
"Are you Old Ye's daughter? I've heard him and some of the Ye boys mention her often, but this is the first time I've seen her. Last time... three years ago, your father asked me to make you a small crossbow, saying it was a birthday present for you.
However, before we could agree on the terms,...
It seems that you are a martial artist like your father and brother?"
"Yes," Ye Qiongying stepped forward and bowed her head. "I have studied with my brothers since I was young, but... I am an unfilial and incompetent daughter. I have only just come to my senses. From now on, I will have to trouble the elders again."
Pang Li seemed to be in a bad mood and spoke in a harsh tone. He snorted when he heard this and said fiercely:
"Trouble? Humph! Then don't bother us. There are so many things to do in the army! Since you have already admitted that you are a martial artist, don't cry and act like a baby just because the training tasks are heavy. This military camp is not a place for embroidering flowers and catching butterflies.
His Majesty has given you a year, and we will not show mercy.
If you cannot pass the assessment after one year, don’t wait until later, just leave the barracks and return to the capital to be your eldest daughter.”
After he finished speaking, he waved to the other three generals and said, "Let's go! And, that guy, if you remember the tiger talisman, hurry up and send it over."
The three men seemed to be about the same age as General Pang Li, and their attitudes seemed slightly better than his, but they did not say much. They just nodded to Ye Qiongying and followed General Pang Li closely.
After the four of them left, the others didn't want to stay any longer. They glanced at Ye Qiongying as if they were watching a show, and then left in twos and threes.
Only Yuan Wu and Chen Xiong were left.
Yuan Wu came over and sighed:
"My dear, these generals have always been... Alas! I originally thought that after you came, I could put down my burden and officially hand over the tiger talisman to you, but who knew..."
"Didn't General Pang tell you to hurry and deliver the tiger talisman? You are still delaying here. Aren't you afraid that General Pang will get angry later?" Chen Xiong staggered over and put his arm on Yuan Wu's shoulder.
Yuan Wu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and looked at Ye Qiongying again. His eyes seemed to contain many things that he wanted to say but couldn't.
Finally, he just sighed deeply, turned around and left.
This figure with a lot of sorrow in his heart but no one to talk to is really...
"Bah!" Ye Qiongying didn't need to come up with an adjective. Chen Xiong couldn't help but pat the arm that had just been placed on Yuan Wu's shoulder and said with disdain, "What a fake! What are you pretending for!"
After he finished speaking, he remembered that Ye Qiongying was still there. Chen Xiong quickly put down his hand, laughed foolishly, pretended that nothing had happened just now, and said to Ye Qiongying:
"Oh, young lady, don't worry. General Pang is a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Who in this military camp has not been yelled at by General Pang? Even your father and brother were often rolled their eyes by him.
Sometimes, General Ye and General Pang would quarrel directly over strategic issues. If there were no one to persuade them, the two of them would fight inside and outside the tent. "
"Ah?" Ye Qiongying looked at Chen Xiong in surprise, "My father?"
"That's right! Hahahaha, other people in the army also think that General Ye is serious and solemn, but when he gets in front of General Pang, they still start fighting," Chen Xiong laughed, "So, don't be afraid, General Pang said that, actually, he is encouraging you to work hard."
"If you say you will be kicked out of the barracks if you fail the test after one year, is that just a scare tactic?" Ye Qiongying asked deliberately.
Chen Xiong coughed twice:
"Well... ahem, General Pang is not only a man who doesn't give people a lot of lip service, but he also sticks to his guns. Since he said that... well, young lady, why don't we try our best to pass the test?"
“Hahaha, Uncle Chen, I was just joking,” Ye Qiongying said with a smile, “Also, don’t call me the eldest girl in the future. In this military camp, I am just the captain Ye Qiongying, not the eldest girl of the Ye family. The eldest girls of the Ye family only need to get married and raise children, but the captain Ye Qiongying is the one who successfully passes the assessment in a year and stays in the military camp!”
Chen Xiong agreed immediately:
"Okay! It's good to have such ambition! From now on, I will be known as a famous person in the military camp. However, outside the military camp, you are still the eldest daughter of the Ye Mansion. I, Chen Xiong, am not such a heartless person. I will be a member of the Ye Mansion for the rest of my life!"
Speaking of this, Ye Qiongying thought of the details of Chen Xiong's actions against Yuan Wu, and couldn't help asking:
"Uncle Chen, do you and General Yuan... have any conflicts? I feel like you two don't seem to be very close."
Logically speaking, both of them were deputy generals trained by the Ye Mansion. After the death of Ye's father, shouldn't they support each other?
Chen Xiong's originally smiling face suddenly changed. He looked around and then said to Ye Qiongying:
"No way! Miss... Oh, Ye Baizhang, you think too much. This is how I, Old Bear, get along with everyone! You know, I'm not a very serious person, and everyone is used to it. Besides, Yuan Wu is a general now, and he is in charge of the tiger talisman. It's not good for others to get close to him, right?
Let’s not talk about me anymore. Qiongying, you should also be careful in the future and don’t get too close to General Yuan.
Now the tiger talisman has been handed over to General Pang and his men, but... there will inevitably be some twists and turns in the transfer process.
Especially with Yuan Wu, you are a member of the Ye family. If you get close to him, some people will inevitably think that this is a way of expressing your attitude of taking sides.
Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, I'll take you to get your things, and then we'll see about setting up a separate tent.
It's impossible for a girl to live with other men, right?"
When he said the first part, Chen Xiong had a serious look on his face, but later on, he became carefree and smiling.
Ye Qiongying always felt that he had something else to say, but now was not the time to ask him, and the other party didn't seem willing to bring it up, so she suppressed her curiosity and followed him.
