Otherwise, according to the previous rules, they would have to be ranked outside the top three.
As night fell, the day's competition came to an end.
The emperor will first return to Longzhou, stay overnight, and then set off for the palace the next morning.
Qiu Wutong led a thousand elite soldiers to accompany him.
After watching Qiu Wutong leave, the two brothers could now properly express their sincerity to Princess Zhenguo.
This wasn't their own camp, and Qiao Lian'er didn't want to stay any longer. After dinner, she had Pei Qingrong organize the troops, and they set off that night.
With two thuds, two people knelt down in front of her.
The commotion was so loud that Qiao Lian'er wondered if they had scraped their knees.
“Why must you two generals do this? Get up.” She frowned.
The two men's legs seemed to be welded to the ground, and they didn't move at all.
“Princess, you must be blaming us. We’ve been in Tianhe Prefecture for many years, but we’ve asked you to let us come to Long Prefecture.”
"Why should I blame you?" Qiao Lian'er retorted.
“You want to stay in Longzhou, not Tianhezhou. Your hearts are not there. If I keep you here, I will not be comfortable with myself. So I will grant your wish and fulfill our wishes. It can be said that we can kill two birds with one stone and both of us will be happy.”
“No, it’s not that we’re not interested in Tianhe Prefecture. It’s just that our uncle is in Longzhou, and we have that family connection, so we had this idea,” Qiu Deyi said.
Qiao Lian'er raised an eyebrow: "Does that mean Qiu Wutong is no longer your uncle? Does that mean you no longer have this kinship?"
Their faces turned pale and then red, and they were speechless.
Qiu Dezhong sighed: "Back then, my brother and I were confused. We should have followed Princess Zhenguo and General Pei properly and stayed in Tianhe Prefecture from beginning to end. We made the wrong choice and now we regret it. Please give us another chance, Princess Zhenguo. We will definitely perform well and make amends."
"Why is it a wrong choice? Is it because Tianhe Prefecture won against Long Prefecture in today's competition? Victory and defeat are common in war. This is just a competition. If you can't even handle this setback, how will you serve Daze Kingdom on the battlefield in the future?"
“It’s not that we can’t handle setbacks,” Qiu Deyi quickly said. “When we’re on the battlefield, we’ll risk our lives and shed our blood. What does it matter if we die? It’s just that we only realized today that following Princess Zhenguo will help us improve our abilities and better serve the Great Ze Kingdom. There are so many novel formations and moves that we’ve never seen before. We want to learn them and improve ourselves.”
Seeing that Qiu Deyi had come up with such a good reason, Qiu Dezhong also said, "That's right. We want to improve, so we want to return to Tianhe Prefecture. If we don't return to the Zhenguo Princess's command, there are some things we will never learn, and that will be the biggest regret of our lives."
Qiao Lian'er's face was cold: "It's true that you want to learn, but your main purpose is to use my position to climb the social ladder. Just like when you insisted on coming to Longzhou, you were disloyal to me before, and now you are disloyal to General Qiu. I will not accept you because of your disloyalty and disloyalty."
Unwilling to listen to their rambling any longer, she turned and left. The two men tried to approach her, but were stopped by her subordinates and had no choice but to return to their barracks dejectedly.
"Brother, I'm really not reconciled. Why should Wei Shu and Li Haidao, who were originally the most useless people in Longzhou, get such a big benefit?" Qiu Deyi said indignantly.
"Then what do you want to do?" Qiu Dezhong was at a loss, and Qiao Lian'er was showing no mercy.
"If those two are crippled, it'll be perfectly logical for them to transfer us over there."
Qiu Deyi sneered: "The benefits they are enjoying now should rightfully belong to my brother and me."
