"Has the king become suspicious?"
"No," the soldier confirmed. "To avoid implicating the young master, I didn't reveal any information to him. I just told him the code when I was poisoned, telling him to wait in peace."
"Well done," Gunta praised him, a rare compliment. "Where are the two brothers?"
"I have them change into their military uniforms. They are outside the tent. Elder, do you want to see them?"
Gunta thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. You just came back from the king. He will definitely send someone to monitor you to verify the facts."
"I just met you and then went to see those two people. I'm afraid he will be suspicious. Tianqi hasn't sent troops these days, and the prisoner car is also with them. Even if he has doubts in his heart, he will believe it with the facts in front of him."
The soldier nodded, responded and retreated.
Gunta touched the snake's head with heartache, the previous scene still repeating in his mind.
Who exactly is Jiang Zhiyu?
He dared to say that no one in Nan Gu could break his pupil technique, let alone outsiders.
But today, it was broken by a little yellow-haired girl?!
impossible!
No one in Apocalypse is good at using poison, otherwise Malzahar would not have been allowed to act so arrogantly for so many years.
How could a country where no one is good at using poisonous insects produce someone like Jiang Zhiyu?!
He could actually break his pupil technique? !
Gunta was puzzled.
…
Apocalypse military camp.
The soldier next to him spoke cautiously: "General, those three people..."
"Although it wasn't their intention, they still have to be punished," Xiao Mingye thought for a moment. "Give each of them twenty lashes. It's a small punishment, but a big warning. I also tell everyone else to be more vigilant. Although the Southern Gu people can't defeat us head-on, their Gu techniques and other skills shouldn't be underestimated."
"yes!"
For several days in a row, the soldiers were training, and everything seemed calm and harmonious.
Hu Yue also joined the training camp.
At first, everyone was hesitant because of her gender and identity. Later, due to Xiao Mingye's instructions and Hu Yue's strong request, everyone began to relax.
As a result, the wounds on her body increased day by day.
In order to avoid being seen by others, Hu Yue would hide in an empty corner and handle things secretly by herself.
Today was no different, but just as she was biting the cloth to apply the medicine, two familiar voices came over.
Hu Yue moved his ears. Was it his father and Zhiyu?
But hasn’t father been out for several days?
"General Hu, why do you stay in the tent all the time? The weather is so nice, you should go out for a walk more often."
Hu Renli chuckled: "Miss Jiang, you're joking. There are so many things to do in the army, how dare I be lazy?"
"This isn't laziness; proper relaxation can improve work efficiency."
Hu Renli: “…”
Although I didn't understand it, I could understand it.
He continued to walk beside Jiang Zhiyu, looking around from time to time.
"General, you are looking for Hu Yue, right?" Jiang Zhiyu pointed out to him, "Miss Hu is very heroic. If she returns with merit this time, the emperor will definitely reward her."
Hu Renli's ears turned slightly red, showing his shyness after being exposed by her. After hearing her words, Hu Renli snorted softly: "She is just fooling around. What kind of place is a battlefield?"
Although he said this, Hu Renli's face was obviously proud.
Hu Yue's eyes in the corner dimmed slightly.
Jiang Zhiyu's eyes quickly swept around the corner and chuckled, "General Hu, there's no need to be so modest. You can't hide the smile on your face, and I think Hu Yue needs your affirmation."
Hu Renli was stunned.
Hu Yue in the corner was also stunned.
Father, are you smiling?
The medicine bottle fell from her hand, but Hu Yue didn't care anymore and moved forward, trying to hear more clearly.
She knew that her father doted on her and never doubted his love for her.
But it is definitely different from pampering.
She wanted her father to know and admit that she was no longer the little girl who had to be protected under his wings. She had grown up and could become an independent adult!
"Are you sure? Are you sure she's going to the battlefield?" Hu Renli's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Miss Jiang has never seen a real battlefield. That feeling is different from the petty fighting we're having now. On the battlefield, swords are merciless. I can't let my daughter follow in that footsteps!"
"I admit that Yue'er is very strong, even compared to her brother, she is not inferior, but I absolutely do not agree to her going to the battlefield."
"Why?" Jiang Zhiyu wasn't surprised by his reaction. "In other words, was this your decision, or Hu Yue's? Have you discussed it with her?"
"No discussion."
Jiang Zhiyu sighed softly, "General Hu, I know you want to protect her, but does keeping her in the capital really protect her? There are countless women who have died in the backyards of the capital, right?"
"Yes, the position of General of the Escort Flag is indeed very important, but is it more important than that of the prince or the emperor?"
"The current emperor is wise, but can you guarantee that he will always be wise? The late emperor was also wise at first, but what about later?"
Hu Renli looked at her in shock, and then he spoke word by word, "The older you get, the more confused you become."
My throat seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't even utter the word "be careful with your words".
[Simi Masai, let me say a few words first.]
Looking at Hu Renli, who seemed to have spoken out of turn, Jiang Zhiyu's aggression intensified. "If the prince requested a marriage, or the emperor took a new empress, what would you do? Would you use your military achievements to ask the emperor to revoke his decision? Or would you simply disobey the order?"
Hu Renli was speechless.
"So, let her join the army and earn an official position for herself. At least she will have the capital to fight in the future."
Hu Renli's brows were tightly furrowed.
"Besides, didn't you just say that Hu Yue's strength is not inferior to her brother's?"
"That's different. A man and a woman..." Hu Renli finally spoke through gritted teeth.
Jiang Zhiyu had a look of 'I knew it' on her face: "So, it's all because of gender."
"I know what Miss Jiang means," Hu Renli said with a hint of irritation, "Never mind, let me think about it. Let me think about it."
He talked as he walked, and Jiang Zhiyu didn't say anything.
When most people had left, she leaned over and said, "Come out, let's go."
Hu Yue picked up the medicine bottle calmly.
"It's true that you're afraid that I'll get hurt, and it's also true that you dislike me because I'm a woman." Hu Yue's nose felt a little sour, but there were no tears in her eyes.
In the face of the facts, no amount of comforting words would have much effect. Jiang Zhiyu echoed, "Now it just depends on whether he dislikes you more or whether he hopes you'll be better in the future."
"But that's not right. Who knows that going to the battlefield is necessarily a good path?"
Hu Yue: “…”
What you said does make some sense.
"But you always have to take the road. Try more while you are young, just like you entered the palace. If you don't enter the palace, how can you know which road is not good?"
