Qi Xiuwu choked up.
This was indeed a major mistake by Qi Xiuwu. Although Zhao Rong said that he was the one who recommended Zhang Feng, it was actually Qi Xiuwu who conducted the actual review. Only if Qi Xiuwu approved Zhang Feng would he be recommended again.
Zhao Rong suggested promoting Qi Xiuwu because Bian Fei was hardworking and resourceful.
The reason for this was that Qi Xiuwu did not conduct a thorough review because, although he had disagreements with Zhao Rong at that time, he still trusted Zhao Rong and therefore did not conduct a further investigation.
Who knew that Bian Fei would dare to violate military regulations so blatantly, a crime punishable by death?
Qi Xiuwu receiving ten strokes of the cane was already a very light punishment.
Qi Xiuwen was furious when he saw his younger brother choking. He thought it was his own fault for being choked by his superior.
He kicked Qi Xiuwu.
Qi Xiuwu yelled, cold sweat instantly pouring down his face: "Big brother, I just got my butt spanked, and now you're kicking me again!"
Qi Xiuwu, wincing in pain, felt extremely aggrieved.
Qi Xiuwen glared at him: "Go down, apply some medicine, and once you're better, lead your troops properly, be more careful, and don't let anyone fool you again."
Chen Xi looked at Fang Chenyan: "Chenyan, why don't you take a look at them?"
Then he said to Zhang Feng and Qi Xiuwu, "Go apply the medicine first, and then come to the conference hall for a meeting!"
"yes!"
The two went downstairs to apply the medicine. Chen Xi glanced at Zheng Ankang and said, "Go and check on her!"
Without needing to be told who it was, Zheng Ankang knew that the leader was referring to Pan Ruoqiao.
"Thank you, Chief."
Zheng Ankang's heart was burning with anxiety. Upon hearing that Chen Xi had asked him to go see Pan Ruoqiao, he immediately went to the military medical station.
Pan Ruoqiao has finished applying the medicine and is resting alone in a room. Normally, she would be observed for half a day and then go home if there are no problems.
Zheng Ankang felt heartbroken when he saw Pan Ruoqiao, who was still pale.
"Ah Qiao, it must hurt terribly!"
His Ah Qiao had never suffered like this before; at least after she came with him, he never let her suffer such an injury.
"Brother Kang, it's okay, it doesn't hurt that much." Pan Ruoqiao's training in the army wasn't heavy. She did morning exercises and some basic training every day. Her main task was to take care of the daily lives of these female soldiers. But because of her basic training, her physical fitness was still good, and she could withstand ten lashes without any problem.
"How could it not hurt?" Zheng Ankang naturally didn't believe it. Even ten heavy blows would tear the skin and flesh.
"I'm really fine." Pan Ruoqiao moved slightly and hissed; it was no lie to say she wasn't in pain.
Zheng Ankang immediately supported her: "Don't move around, what if the wound reopens!"
Pan Ruoqiao lay still: "Brother Kang, Aqiao is being willful, don't mind her."
Zheng Ankang knew she was referring to her insistence on staying in the army.
"It's not your fault. You have your own ideas, and that's the kind of you I like, A-Qiao."
Pan Ruoqiao blushed and said reproachfully, "When did Brother Kang become so good at talking?"
Then, she frowned slightly: "Is it because Brother Kang has been indulging in pleasures these past few days that he's acting like this!"
Zheng Ankang's honest face showed seriousness: "Aqiao, I've said it before, you're the only one for me in this life."
Pan Ruoqiao blushed even more. Kang Ge was a bit older than her, but when he met her, he was still a young man just beginning to experience love. They had been together for many years and were still as loving as ever.
"Brother Kang, it's just a pity that I couldn't give you a son or daughter."
"You're saying that again. As long as A-Qiao is alright, that's better than anything else."
As Zheng Ankang spoke, he leaned close to Pan Ruoqiao's cheek and gently kissed her.
Pan Ruoqiao's face glowed like a rosy cloud, and she said coquettishly, "Brother Kang..."
Zheng Ankang's expression changed: "Aqiao, you have a fever?"
He reached out and touched her forehead; it was indeed burning with fever.
"I don't have a fever, do I? I don't feel hot; on the contrary, I feel a bit cold."
Zheng Ankang immediately called for medical staff: "Aqiao has a fever."
Doctor Hua Qi carefully examined Pan Ruoqiao: "It's nothing, this is a normal fever after an injury, just take a couple of doses of medicine later."
Zheng Ankang actually knew that this phenomenon was normal, but his concern made him confused, and he needed a doctor to confirm it.
Huaqi's father was a village doctor. Although she was a girl, she still learned her father's medical skills. She felt that she would never have the opportunity to use her medical skills in her life. Who knew that when she fled to this place, the leader was recruiting medical staff, and she applied and was accepted.
After going through layers of screening and selection, she became a doctor in the military.
This simplest kind of stick injury was not serious and was something she could easily handle.
She got two prescriptions and gave them to the nurse to prepare and decoct the medicine.
Pan Ruoqiao continued lying down and said, "Brother Kang, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. My injury will heal with just some medicine, not medicine."
Zheng Ankang, however, insisted: "Let's take the medicine, in case the fever gets too high."
Pan Ruoqiao knew Zheng Ankang was stubborn towards her, so she stopped objecting and changed the subject: "I was indeed wrong about Qi Daniu's matter. I didn't even notice the changes in her. It was really my dereliction of duty."
Zheng Ankang remained silent; it was a settled matter, and A Qiao was right.
"However, Brother Kang, your performance today was unbecoming of a guard captain."
Zheng Ankang was taken aback. How could that be?
Pan Ruoqiao could tell from his expression that he did not think he was in the wrong, so she explained, "As the chief of guards of the leader, you are by the leader's side. No matter what happens, you cannot be distracted and must always put the leader first."
"But the commander isn't in any danger today, is he?"
Seeing that Zheng Ankang still didn't understand, Pan Ruoqiao grabbed his rough hand: "This has nothing to do with whether the leader is in danger or not, but is the duty of the head of the guard. Even if I die today, Brother Kang should not have his mind on me."
