There were four or five people sitting on both sides of the main seat. After hearing Jiang Zhuo's words, they all looked at Liu Shugen at the end.
He sat there looking very calm: "It is thanks to you that I was able to achieve this achievement."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Zhuo's face was filled with confusion.
Liu Shugen stood up and bowed respectfully to Jiang Zhuo. "If it weren't for the Duwei's reputation, how could we have so many talented people? It's the general's fame that has attracted so many talented people to voluntarily join our Tieling Guard. All this is thanks to you, and I dare not take any credit for it."
Jiang Zhuo was delighted to hear this: "Hahaha, Shugen has become more and more talkative in recent years!"
The other people's eyes changed when they looked at Liu Shugen.
Flatterer!
"Haha, after all, it was this guy who caught the little tiger cub. Why don't you just give him a promotion? That way, everyone under you can see that we, the captain, are fair in rewarding and punishing."
Lieutenant General Zuo was somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Shugen's behavior. He was afraid that Captain Jiang would attribute the credit to Liu Shugen in the end, so he quickly opened his mouth to bring the conversation back to Ji Mingxue.
"It also serves as a kind of motivation. The next time something happens, I'm sure those guys will be rushing forward like crazy!"
The right lieutenant general also spoke at this time, and the two of them sang in unison, wanting to put all the credit on Ji Mingxue's head.
Duan Yunzheng sat back and watched the incident unfold, as it had nothing to do with him anyway.
Ji Mingxue had a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his heart.
I didn't expect that there would be so many tricks in the military camp.
First, when they were hunting tigers together, he was pulled out by Captain Liu Qian to block the injury. He finally escaped with the tiger's claws and caught the small one, but the man surnamed Liu wanted to steal his credit.
If there weren't so many people who saw him catching the tiger cub, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the chance to stand here today.
Now listening to Captain Jiang's tone, it is clear that he is directly giving the credit to General Liu Qian.
As a result, the left and right lieutenant generals seemed to dislike General Liu Qian again and planned to push him out to take the credit.
No matter how great his contribution is, can he be directly replaced by General Liu Qian?
They just talked a lot and left, leaving him to offend his boss. How would he live then?
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Ji Mingxue responded quickly.
He took the initiative to step forward, smiling innocently, "I was just lucky, it just so happened that General Liu Qian and his men were entangled with the two big ones, so I took the opportunity to dodge and catch the small one. To be honest, this doesn't count as my capture alone."
Liu Shugen was very pleased with Ji Mingxue's wisdom: "It's commendable that he was brave enough to catch the cub under the watchful eyes of two tigers."
The left and right lieutenant generals looked at Ji Mingxue with disdain, thinking that this kid was as stupid as a pig and didn't even dare to acknowledge the credit that was right in front of him!
Admiration flashed in Jiang Zhuo's eyes.
This young man is nice, honest and kind.
"Hahaha, this kid has some truth to him. I think we should give him fifty taels of silver and a bottle of high-quality golden medicine. Let him rest for ten days to heal his wounds. There are plenty of opportunities for young people to make meritorious contributions. I'm optimistic about you."
Jiang Zhuo smiled at Ji Mingxue.
"Great! Thank you for the reward, sir!"
Ji Mingxue shouted thank you joyfully, with a sincere and honest smile on his face, looking like a silly boy who had never seen the world.
"Since it's getting late, I won't disturb your rest. Go back early!"
Captain Jiang gave instructions to Ji Mingxue in a friendly manner.
"Thank you, Captain!" Ji Mingxue knelt on the ground, kowtowed twice, and retreated happily.
"Haha, this kid is quite interesting, quite honest."
Watching him leave the door, Captain Jiang still had a smile on his face.
Liu Shugen was also in a very good mood at the moment: "Your Excellency is clear about rewards and punishments, which makes people convinced."
The left and right lieutenant generals sat in their seats with cold faces, not wanting to pay any attention to Liu Shugen.
Looking at the reactions of his men, Jiang Zhuo felt reassured: "Alright, it's getting late, let's all go down."
Liu Shugen walked slowly to the end.
As soon as he walked out of the main tent, Ji Mingxue's face suddenly fell.
Ji Changying watched his second brother leave and did not chase after him immediately.
She continued to focus her attention on Liu Shugen.
Inside the tent.
Seeing that everyone else had left, Jiang Zhuo asked knowingly, "Does Shugen have anything else to report?"
Liu Shugen glanced around and said, "I have something I want to discuss with the captain."
Jiang Zhuo immediately understood and waved his hand to let everyone in the tent leave.
"Captain, I have collected these three thousand taels of silver. Do you think it will work?"
As soon as the person left, Liu Shugen couldn't wait to take out the silver in his arms and show it to Jiang Zhuo.
Jiang Zhuo glanced at it but didn't reach out to take it. "Shugen, you know that being brave is useless. Without help, even if you achieve something, it won't necessarily go to you. I'm willing to give you a chance because I think highly of you, but these three thousand taels..."
Jiang Zhuo's face was a little embarrassed, and Liu Shugen understood what he meant. "I'll try to gather the money! I'm sure I can find a way to get it all together. I'll have to trouble the captain to help me with the prince's request."
Jiang Zhuo smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, my Jiang family has been with the prince for so long, so we still have this little face."
Liu Shugen silently put the money on the table and bowed to leave.
Ji Changying left a trace of mental power to follow Liu Shugen, and quickly rushed towards Ji Mingxue's position.
Because of his meritorious service this time, he was not sent back to the dormitory for the time being, but lived in a tent specially used for the wounded.
When Ji Mingxue returned, the other two had already gone to bed. He sat on his own bed, took off his clothes and checked the bandaged wound.
I don't know when, the blood on the chest had seeped through the gauze, revealing a faint hint of red.
Thinking of the thrilling experience at that time, a hint of gloom flashed across Ji Mingxue's face.
A gust of wind blew over, and the snoring of the other two people who were sleeping soundly in the battalion headquarters suddenly stopped.
All the hairs on Ji Mingxue's body stood up. Looking at the dark shadow that had appeared in the tent out of nowhere, he didn't dare to act rashly. He even breathed more slowly and reached under the pillow.
“Second brother!”
Ji Changying's low voice sounded, and Ji Mingxue's hand paused.
At that moment he thought he was hallucinating.
"Second brother! Are you stupid?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Mingxue was beside Ji Changying before he could even see how she moved.
"How did you get yourself into this state?! You're bleeding!"
Ji Mingxue stared at her blankly as if he were sleepwalking: "Why are you here?"
