Chapter 91 The Secret Chen Xiong Didn’t Tell Her
The next morning, Ye Qiongying packed her bags and said goodbye to Uncle Ye.
An Yu probably slept late last night and didn't get up this morning. Ye Qiongying didn't want to wait for him, so she followed Chen Xiong back to the military camp.
As soon as she left, An Yu, who was standing on the other side of the bedroom door, turned back to the bed with a complicated look.
There was a dark tint in his eyes, and he looked like he hadn't slept all night.
Gone...
He pursed his lips, feeling a little regretful.
I should have gone out just now. How could I not dare to go out just because of that strange feeling in my heart?
He is the emperor!
Ye Qiongying naturally didn't know that An Yu hadn't slept at all.
She and Chen Xiong rushed to the military camp before it was fully light.
The soldiers in the barracks have already started today's training. As soon as you walk into the barracks, you can hear their roars.
"Today we are mainly here to familiarize you with the place," Chen Xiong said. "You will start training tomorrow. General Pang has already given me the job of guide. It's just right that I will take you around..."
Although Chen Xiong looked confused, he was actually very familiar with the layout of the military camp. He could tell where something was by just pointing at it. It was obvious that he had already memorized all of this in his mind.
He is also popular in the army, and many soldiers are familiar with him. When they see Chen Xiong and Ye Qiongying, they will greet Chen Xiong enthusiastically first, and then look at the woman next to him curiously.
Presumably, the news of Ye Qiongying entering the military camp yesterday had already spread, so today everyone was just watching out of curiosity, and no one asked about Ye Qiongying's identity.
But there were also some soldiers who were not friendly to Chen Xiong. They did not dare to do anything because of Chen Xiong's identity. However, their behavior was obviously different from those before.
There is actually a phenomenon of forming cliques and factions in this army.
Ye Qiongying originally thought that in a place like this, everyone would be more united in order to kill the enemy and to survive.
But I didn't expect...
It seems that no matter where you go, you cannot escape the entanglement of interests.
After a brief tour of the general camp, Chen Xiong took Ye Qiongying to her own tent:
"Go pack your things. You'll have to live here from now on, and you can only go out during your monthly rotation."
Ye Qiongying had been here yesterday, so she was not unfamiliar with the place, so she said:
"Okay, thank you for your help. I can handle this myself. Uncle Chen, please go and do your thing first!"
"No problem," Chen Xiong waved his hand nonchalantly, "What can I do here? I'm idle all day, either drinking or hanging out outside. It's okay for me to stay here and give you a hand."
Ye Qiongying frowned.
how could be?
Nowadays, incidents are happening frequently on the border.
Even though it is still uncertain whether Dongchen and Xili will unite, Dongchen’s restlessness has been made clear since the war three years ago.
The two sides would engage in a battle on the border almost every other day, and the number of battles, big and small, added up to a considerable amount.
Even ordinary soldiers have to train hard on a daily basis to improve their strength and ensure their survival.
Chen Xiong is a deputy general after all, how could he be idle?
"Uncle Chen, are you hiding something from me?" Ye Qiongying and Chen Xiong entered the tent and asked in a low voice, "Something is really wrong in Pingwu City."
Chen Xiong paused for a while before saying:
"Don't think too much. What could I possibly hide from you? Now that you're here, you should train well. Although General Pang and the others are a bit strict, they are all good people. They will see your performance.
Other things...
Oh, go ahead and do your thing. I'll leave first!"
"Wait!" Ye Qiongying stopped Chen Xiong, "Uncle Chen, I am no longer the little kid I was back then. If there is anything, you can tell me! You and Yuan Wu are both deputy generals under my father, so why are you unhappy? Also, I looked for the other two deputy generals in the crowd yesterday, but I didn't find them. I vaguely remember that there were four of you at the beginning."
Hearing this, Chen Xiong paused in his steps. He turned around and glanced at Ye Qiongying, as if he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, a smile appeared on his face again:
"No, I have a bad temper and I don't get along with anyone. It was only because General Ye was here that we all obeyed his orders and got along harmoniously.
Now that General Ye is gone, I naturally can't get along with Yuan Wu.
As for the other two... Lao Zeng had died in battle with General Ye, and Lao Mi disappeared after returning. No one knows...
Maybe he was kidnapped and killed by the enemy who sneaked in. We searched for a long time but couldn't find him.
These are all normal.
So, Miss Ye Baizhang, remember, in this military camp, you must have your own brothers, as well as your own brains and defenses, because danger is everywhere!"
After saying that, he really left this time.
Ye Qiongying looked at the tent curtain that had been drawn down, and some waves began to rise in her heart.
Is it really that simple?
She didn't think so.
But Chen Xiong was not an enemy, so she couldn't use any tough measures on him in order to pry open his mouth.
I'll wait until the next day off and go home and ask Uncle Ye to find out something.
Uncle Ye and Chen Xiong have known each other for a long time, so maybe asking him would be more effective than asking yourself.
Putting this matter aside for the moment, Ye Qiongying put away the things she brought from home one by one.
This is a military camp after all, and the conditions inside the tents are limited.
Only because Ye Qiongying is a woman can she live in a tent alone, otherwise everyone else lives together in a group.
No matter how it is decorated, it can never compare to home.
But such a simple place is very lovely in Ye Qiongying's eyes.
Compared to the woodshed that trapped her in her previous life, this place is better than the others. At least, she can fight for a different future for herself.
Chen Xiong had asked the soldiers to bring them lunch during the previous "visit".
Just now, Chen Xiong had planned to stay with Ye Qiongying for a while longer, at least take her out for dinner, and by the way, he could find out the location of the cafeteria in the military camp.
However, he did not expect that he was distracted by Ye Qiongying's questions. Perhaps he was too preoccupied to concentrate and he forgot about the matter.
It was not until it was getting dark outside and Ye Qiongying's stomach started to growl that she remembered that it was time for dinner.
She did have a few pancakes that Uncle Ye had prepared for her just in case, but these dry pancakes were certainly not as good as fresh meals.
She will start training in the military camp tomorrow, so of course she has to eat well and rest well today, otherwise where will she get the energy for tomorrow?
Ye Qiongying left the tent.
Fortunately, the army was organized in a very orderly manner, and it was impossible to directly allocate a large area for her, so there were tents of other soldiers around.
She originally planned to go over and ask someone, but found that there was no one in the tents.
Going further, we saw several teams of soldiers coming from the training ground, most of them were going to have dinner.
Ye Qiongying hesitated for a moment, but decided to step forward.
