Shangguan Ning saw the smiles on the three people's faces and finally felt relieved from the anger he had endured from Yue Sheng.
She predicted that Yue Sheng's counterattack against Fang Benqi was not due to good luck, but due to calculation.
Fang Benqi is insidious and cunning, so how could he be so stupid as to step into the trap he set and lose his life in vain.
Wang Tu and the other two did not see the specific details, but they were frightened by Fang Benqi's death. They were afraid that if they continued to follow Shangguan Qian, they would also lose their lives, so they turned to her.
Yue Sheng's return brought him a greater reputation, but she ultimately took all the benefits.
Shangguan Ning felt that he had gotten a good deal and was in a very good mood. He spoke to Wang Tu and the other two in an increasingly friendly tone.
For a moment, all three of them had smiles on their faces and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
The next day, in the general ledger, the nine commanders gathered together.
As Xiang Sheng opened the curtain and walked in, he was met with a pair of gloomy old eyes.
She looked at the owner of the old eyes and slowly smiled. "Commander Wu is standing at the door. Could it be that he is specially here to greet me? This is really embarrassing for a junior."
Wu Yajun's face turned grim. "Young man, the young master told me to tell you that you're lucky this time! You won't be so lucky next time."
"next time?"
Xiang Sheng smiled and said in a leisurely tone, "Let's not talk about whether I'll be lucky next time. Commander Wu should be worried about whether his luck will become as bad as Commander Fang's."
"you……!"
Wu Yajun was furious. Before he could open his mouth to refute, Xiang Sheng walked away, walked to the table and sat down, completely ignoring him.
Just at this moment, a light flashed in the empty seat of the main seat, and Shangguan Ning appeared.
Xiang Sheng immediately stood up and presented a storage ring. He was the first to speak: "Your Excellency, the wasteland bone beast nest has been completely cleared out. There are millions of bone beast horns as evidence. They are all here."
"very good."
Shangguan Ning would never expose the conflict between himself and Xiang Sheng. He smiled faintly and glanced at everyone in the room.
"This time, the Moon Camp ranked first in the number of Bone Beasts they eliminated. They also overturned their lair, eliminating future troubles. This should be considered the primary achievement. Do you have any objections?"
Wu Yajun was about to retort upon hearing this, but Wang Tu spoke faster than him: "The five battalions have no objection!"
Deng Jiang and Ling Cheng followed suit, saying, "The Third (Fourth) Battalion also has no objection!"
The remaining five commanders had never seen the Moon Camp gain the upper hand before, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should agree or not, so they simply pretended to be silent.
"I object!"
Wu Yajun finally seized the opportunity to speak and said coldly:
"The Moon Camp relied entirely on the intelligence provided by our Sun Camp. How can we attribute all the credit to them?!"
Xiang Sheng laughed when he heard this, "A tide of millions of bone beasts would have a formidable impact, far exceeding the limit that the soldiers in my camp can withstand.
If I hadn't followed, the Moon Camp might have been completely wiped out. Commander Wu, what you're saying now is... Providing the location of the Bone Beast's lair to the Moon Camp wasn't an accident, but rather you're deliberately sending the soldiers of the Moon Camp to their deaths?"
Wu Yajun's expression suddenly changed, "That's not what I meant..."
"What does that mean?"
Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Commander Wu, please explain it clearly. Don't let the soldiers of the Moon Camp feel disappointed."
"I……"
Wu Yajun's face flushed red, and his mouth was open for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.
Wang Tu watched from the side and felt secretly happy.
In the past, he was on the opposite side of Yue Sheng, and he was often choked to the point of being speechless. It was so frustrating.
Now that we are in the same camp, it feels so good to watch Yue Sheng fight against others.
Shangguan Ning couldn't stand Yue Sheng, but this scene was really refreshing. She watched the excitement for a long time, and when she saw Wu Yajun's face gradually turning purple, she slowly said:
"Alright, Yuesheng, Old Wu just made a slip of the tongue. You don't have to dwell on it. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"
Considering that she did a great job in this matter, it is not impossible to give her the top-grade magic sword that was promised to her before.
Xiang Sheng stood up, raised his hand, and said respectfully, "Sir, I would like to ask for a favor for Yueying.
Although the Yueying Camp has a total of 10,000 people, the actual number of people is less than 4,000, which is too small.
I beg you to grant me a special order, allowing my Moon Camp to recruit and expand its forces ahead of schedule!"
After these words were spoken, Wu Yajun's face became even uglier.
Under normal circumstances, Yue Sheng’s request would definitely be against the rules.
But considering the merit of clearing out the bone beast's lair, this reward is nothing.
When Wu Yajun thought about the credit that was delivered by their own Japanese camp, he felt so depressed that he almost vomited blood.
The situation in Yueying was out of control. He couldn't even imagine how furious the young master would be when he returned from this regular meeting.
On the other hand, Shangguan Ning, who usually kept her expression expressionless, showed a rare hint of joy upon hearing these words. Yue Sheng's request truly touched her heart.
"good!"
She clapped her hands in praise, "Yue Sheng, you are truly devoted to the Yueying Camp. As the leader of an army, I am very pleased.
In addition to the grace of expanding enrollment, I grant you a chance to enter my private vault. There are treasures worth millions of military merits in it, and you can exchange them for any one of them. How about it?
"Yue Sheng, thank you for your reward!"
He thanked Xiang Sheng, put away the storage ring on the table that contained the certificate of killing the bone beast, and said no more.
Shangguan Ning frowned secretly when he saw her actions, but since there were so many people in the tent, it was not easy for him to get angry.
"Do you have anything important to do today? If not, we'll go."
Everyone who had been unable to sit still for a long time immediately stood up and said, "I'll take my leave!"
Soon, everyone left, and only Shangguan Ning and Xiang Sheng were left in the tent.
With no outsiders present, Shangguan Ning's face immediately darkened. "Yue Sheng, I'm giving you a secret treasure worth a million military merits, but it has to be exchanged for a bone beast certificate. You immediately put away your storage ring after thanking me. Are you really going against me?"
"Sir, please calm down."
Xiang Sheng put the storage ring down again, looked up with a hint of confusion on his face:
"These bone beast certificates were all killed by the Moon Camp soldiers. I originally wanted to go to the Logistics Camp to exchange them for merits after the meeting and distribute them to the soldiers.
Isn't the million military merits that Your Excellency bestowed upon me extra?"
"Stop pretending in front of me!"
Shangguan Ning sneered: "Are you really willing to share a million military merits with those peasants below?
The contribution you made this time is not small, but if you don’t obey my orders, you will make an even bigger mistake!
I have already forgiven you by granting you one million in military merits. If you still want another million, I will not grant you any!"
At this point, Shangguan Ning flicked the army commander's token with his finger, "A million military merits have been allocated to you. Whether you want to go to the secret vault to exchange for the immortal sword, or something else, it's up to you to decide."
After saying that, Shangguan Ning took the bone beast storage ring from the table, and left in a flash, fearing that Yue Sheng would come up with some more twisted ideas and really make her spend another million military merits.
The general ledger was empty. Xiang Sheng took out the commander's token and made sure that there were really a million military merits in it before he slowly left.
When he returned to Yueying, he ran into Ye Chuxue again as expected, but there was no worry on his face anymore.
Xiang Sheng directly threw the commander's token to her.
"The military merits will be distributed according to the merits of the clearing and suppression campaign."
