Chapter 160 Three Moves to Win
Seeing this, Yang Kezi finally closed his mouth and swallowed everything he wanted to say.
Yu Mengqing didn't know what the Manjing Tartars said.
At this time, she was holding her daughter Chu Niansi and coaxing her.
For the new recruits, after seeing her martial arts skills, they naturally didn't have any major opinions about her.
But some veterans have different opinions, as many of them have experience in going on expeditions.
They were also people who had been to the battlefield, and they had never seen a woman fighting on the battlefield.
Even if there was, they would never obey her.
What's more, this woman now serves as their leading general and leads them to battle.
How could these experienced veterans accept this?
"Rest for an hour ahead!" Yu Mengqing replied concisely.
Unexpectedly, it would have been fine if she hadn't said this, but once she did, the old soldiers became dissatisfied.
"There's a post station thirty miles ahead. Wouldn't it be better to rest there?"
"She's just a woman, how could she understand these things? I doubt she even understands the geographical location."
"It's not a question of whether you have seen it or not, but a question of whether you can understand it?" another veteran retorted.
After he finished speaking, even he himself couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"This battle is really getting less and less interesting now that it's really started."
“…”
Along the way, because of Yu Mengqing's indifference, these old soldiers became more and more aggressive.
When it comes to these sarcastic remarks, they never stop.
It has even developed to the point where people are discussing it openly.
The new recruits in the front were led by Guo Yalun and Xue Zhonggui, who walked at the front.
Yu Mengqing and the veteran were walking in the middle and back area.
So Guo Yalun and Xue Zhonggui didn't hear these words.
On the contrary, Xue Zhonglan and Guo Peiying, who were with Yu Mengqing, heard it clearly.
But every time they wanted to refute, Yu Mengqing would shake her head at them, signaling them not to be impulsive.
Both of them knew Yu Mengqing's character and knew that she had a plan, so they didn't say anything.
I didn't expect that my tolerance would make these people even more aggressive.
"What do you mean? Meng Qing is a general appointed by the emperor himself. Are you dissatisfied now?"
Guo Peiying on the side couldn't help but choke.
"She's just a woman, what right does she have to lead us?"
Someone in the crowd whispered.
"That's right. If it weren't for the military token in her hand, how could the emperor have appointed her as a general and led us into battle?"
With the first person's response, the second person became even more arrogant in his rebuttal.
Hearing this, Yu Mengqing calmly put Chu Niansi into the wet nurse's arms.
Then he slowly pushed through the crowd, walked up to the soldier who had just challenged him, and asked:
"You're dissatisfied with me just because I'm a woman?"
"Of course not. If you have this ability, I will still obey you. But do you have it?" Cheng Dalei retorted.
He never discriminates between men and women.
In his eyes, men and women are equal, and as long as they have the ability and can lead them correctly, he will obey them equally.
Hearing this, Yu Mengqing was extremely satisfied.
She looked at him deeply, but didn't do anything to him.
The person who said this was Cheng Dalei, a centurion.
Moreover, Yu Mengqing had already gotten to know all the people above the rank of centurion when she went on this expedition.
I do have some understanding of this Cheng Dalei.
He is quite capable, and his soldiers are well trained.
That’s right, only people like this can speak with such confidence.
Yu Mengqing can tolerate this kind of person, but she still needs to educate him on the principles of being a human being.
Thinking of this, Yu Mengqing asked again: "Then how did you know that I don't have such ability?"
She knew that if the gossip along the way was not stopped, it would seriously affect morale.
This result was not what she wanted to see.
"No matter how I look at it, I can tell that you were born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and didn't learn martial arts from a young age. Even if you are talented, it's impossible for you to be able to lead thousands of troops to war within a year."
Cheng Dalei said without hesitation.
He is not the kind of man who looks down on women.
On the contrary, he also believed that he admired anyone who could lead them to a safe expedition and return safely, regardless of whether they were men or women.
But the woman in front of him obviously didn't have that ability.
After hearing Cheng Dalei's analysis, Yu Mengqing looked at him twice more.
It seems that this centurion is not targeting him for no reason.
Yu Mengqing naturally wouldn't really bother with such a person.
On the contrary, she would also prove to him whether she had the ability or not.
Then he pulled out the cane from his body, threw it in front of Cheng Dalei, and asked expressionlessly:
"Three moves. If you can take three of my moves, I will take my three children back with me."
"That's what you said. Although I also think you're not suitable, as a woman, if you go to a place like that, you're just going to die."
"Stop talking nonsense and watch this!" Yu Mengqing said, raising the rattan in her hand.
She didn't want to waste any time and just wanted to resolve the matter quickly so that she could amuse her three children.
Cheng Dalei looked at Yu Mengqing with disdain, without any desire to try his best.
Yu Mengqing curled the corner of her lips slightly, took a few steps back, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Cheng Dalei in front of her.
When Cheng Dalei received that look, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Being stared at by such a strong and sharp gaze, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine.
This kind of look has always been seen only in killers.
Princess Zhan, who just acted like she was easy to talk to, suddenly became so fierce?
However, before he could react, Yu Mengqing's vine swung towards him.
While he was still daydreaming, he felt a strong wind blowing towards him.
He immediately put his thoughts aside and turned sideways to avoid it.
But before he could dodge, he was kicked hard from behind and fell flat on his face.
When he came to his senses, Yu Mengqing was already standing in front of him with the whip raised.
Cheng Dalei: “…”
The veteran who witnessed it all: "..."
They simply couldn't believe that what they saw before their eyes was true.
Cheng Dalei was even worse, looking at the godlike woman in front of him, he forced himself to face the facts.
