Chapter 94 Captain, I'm glad you came back safely!
"Let's go back to the camp. I've been on leave for such a long time, and my injuries are almost healed. It's time to go back."
Shang Xi: “…”
Only then did I realize my own gaffe.
He coughed lightly and sat back, his expression still calm: "I understand."
Xiao Ning nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go back first."
"Wait..."
Xiao Ning turned and left, and Shang Xi subconsciously opened her mouth to call her.
When Xiao Ning turned around, he didn't know what to say.
Finally, her face turned red and she whispered, "The eighth day of next month is my birthday. Remember to come back then..."
Xiao Ning smiled, "Don't worry, I'll keep it safe!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
Shang Xi stared at her back in a daze.
He couldn't take his eyes off the figure until it had left the yard and disappeared around the corner.
An indescribable loneliness arises in my heart...
Shang Xi felt a little disgusted with himself for being like this, but he couldn't control his heart.
He leaned back in his chair, looking a little listless.
What should he do?
…
After Xiao Ning left the princess's mansion, he rode his horse all the way to the capital camp.
After returning to the camp, I naturally went to Zhou Jiang to report for leave first.
When Zhou Jiang heard the soldier's report, he hurriedly said, "Please come in!"
However, before Xiao Ning came in, he had already strode out to greet him.
"Xiao Yanqing, you are so lucky!"
Zhou Jiang laughed and patted her shoulder.
Xiao Ning smiled and saluted Zhou Jiang, "I can't help it, I'm just lucky!"
Zhou Jiang put his arm around her shoulders and walked into the barracks. "Come, tell me how you and the princess managed to survive!"
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "There are vines and trees growing on the cliff, and there is a river at the bottom. The princess and I slid down along the vines and saved our lives."
Zhou Jiang said: "That's it?"
Xiao Ning nodded, looking honest: "That's it."
Zhou Jiang: "...I thought I'd hear a thrilling survival story."
Xiao Ning understood everything: "General, you said you wanted to hear a story..."
"Then, is it too late for me to make it up now?"
Xiao Ning blinked like a cunning little fox.
Zhou Jiang: “…”
You should just coax a child.
"Alright, go back now. Those soldiers under your command really don't even listen to me. They insist on inheriting your will and will not disband unless they die."
"Tell me, what's the difference between this and rebellion?"
Xiao Ning's mouth twitched: "...General, don't dare say such things carelessly."
Zhou Jiang said, "Hi!" "I'm just saying this to you, but you really need to keep those bastards in check. They're always disobedient and causing trouble! Especially that Xu Chong!"
Xiao Ning smiled in response, took out an oil-paper bag from his bag and placed it on Zhou Jiang's desk. "I brought you some snacks on the way here. Try them."
Zhou Jiang glanced at the paper bag and laughed, "From Jude Zhai? My wife loves it the most, so I'll take it back to her after work."
Xiao Ning: "...General Zhou is very good to my sister-in-law."
It will be cold and inedible by the afternoon. Take it back and give it to your wife. You don’t care at all!
Zhou Jiang smiled and said, "It's nothing compared to you and Her Royal Highness the Princess, who are committed to each other for life and death."
Xiao Ning: “…”
When Xiao Ning returned to her territory, the soldiers who were training saw her and swarmed over, surrounding her, staring at her with sparkling eyes.
"Captain!"
The voice was excited and high-pitched.
Xiao Ning nodded to everyone and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
"I'm glad you came back safely, Captain!"
Li Yuan limped in and looked at Xiao Ning with red eyes: "Captain, are you really okay..."
Xiao Ning raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "I'm fine, but... why did you get involved with that Xu Chong and end up in this state?"
Li Yuan: "...I'm not messing around. I just don't want the captain's efforts to go to waste."
Xiao Ning was a little touched, "Don't do this again in the future. It's better than anything else if you are all well."
Li Yuandao: "With you here, we brothers can be safe."
The people below echoed Li Yuan's words.
The sound was deafening.
Xiao Ning raised his hand and signaled them to be quiet, and everyone immediately stopped talking.
Looking around, he noticed someone was missing. "Where's Xu Chong?"
"He was punished by General Zhou to sweep the toilet."
Xiao Ning: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with a headache, "What has he done wrong again?"
Li Yuan: "...He had a conflict with General Zhou's personal guards."
Xiao Ning: "Why did a conflict arise out of the blue?"
Li Yuan: “…”
It's a bit difficult to say.
How should he tell the captain that the reason Xu Chong had a conflict with someone was that he praised Captain Xiao to him, was refuted by him, and then he got angry and beat him up?
I feel so embarrassed.
But when Xiao Ning looked at him, Li Yuan was a little overwhelmed and answered honestly.
Xiao Ning: “…”
This unlucky thing.
Xiao Ning distributed the things she brought to everyone, and gave Li Yuan two military books that she had carefully selected.
Li Yuan was a little touched after receiving the military book.
This kind of thing has been monopolized by wealthy families since ancient times, and ordinary people don’t even have the chance to take a look at it.
But the captain not only instructed him in arranging the troops and promoted him to deputy, but was also willing to give him such a thing as a gift.
How could he not be completely loyal to her?
"Thank you, Captain!"
Li Yuan knelt on one knee and clasped his hands together.
When he looked at her, his eyes were sincere and his eye sockets were slightly red.
Xiao Ning: “…”
To be honest, she was shocked.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she reacted and quickly helped him up.
"A man's knees are made of gold, why are you kneeling before me? Get up!"
Xiao Ning was also convinced and gave him two books. Why such a big gift?
I want to shorten her life.
Li Yuan staggered to his feet with the help of Xiao Ning.
During lunch, Xu Chong came over happily.
He wanted to give Xiao Ning a hug, but Xiao Ning pushed him away with his scabbard. "Get out of here, you stinky bastard! What are you trying to do? Stay away from me!"
Xu Chong: “…”
He put his sleeve under his nose and sniffed hard, "It doesn't smell, where does it smell?"
Xiao Ning: "...You're just used to it. Go away and don't disturb me while I'm eating!"
Xu Chong was heartbroken. He had devoted his life to the captain and worked until his death, but the captain actually despised him!
He stared at Xiao Ning with a look of aggrieved eyes, as if Xiao Ning was a heartless man.
Xiao Ning: “…”
No, why are you, a tough guy, pretending to be aggrieved?
It's very inconsistent!
But the child was fighting to protect her. Although it was a bit childish, Xiao Ning softened his tone and said, "Okay, let's eat. I have a gift for you. Come to my room after dinner to get it."
Hearing this, Xu Chong became happy and immediately went to the kitchen to get some food. He then brought the large bowl to Xiao Ning and said, "Captain, what gift did you prepare for me? I hope it's not some snack..."
The moment Xu Chong came over with the bowl, Xiao Ning jumped up and stood two feet away from him, "Eat your meal well!"
Xu Chong: “…”
Xiao Ning finished his meal quickly and returned to his barracks to wait for Xu Chong to come over.
