Chapter 295 The Little Nun 23
Having vented her anger, Ling Yi dusted off imaginary dust from her hands and bowed, saying, "Greetings, General."
Xue Zhen nodded, looked down at his two brothers lying on the ground, and said unhappily, "We're all comrades, what kind of behavior is this, making such a scene?"
The tone sounded like a blaming, but from the very beginning it set the tone of "comrades" and "making trouble." If this isn't taking sides, what is?
The lieutenants, who were watching the commotion with their hands in their sleeves, glanced at the general without making a sound, thinking to themselves, "General, aren't you a very upright person? How come you're so adept at taking sides?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Er, who was lying on the ground, nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He crawled to Zhao Da's side, hugged him, and glared at Ling Yi angrily: "What comrade-in-arms? I don't have a comrade-in-arms like that. Look what he did to my older brother!"
Ling Yi stood with her hands behind her back, looking down at the two disheveled brothers: "So what if I hit him? He spewed filth all over his mouth, I could beat him to death and still have the right to do it!"
Zhao Er was furious: "My elder brother is just..."
"Cough cough..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Da, who had fainted, "slowly woke up." He grabbed Zhao Er's wrist and said with a wry smile, "It's because my skills are inferior. If you make such a scene now, won't everyone laugh at us?"
She looked truly... pitiful.
The person in question is a bit ugly, so the final result wasn't very good.
But those present weren't exactly shrewd; they noticed his provocative glances and their expressions turned somewhat suspicious.
If you're inferior in skill and get beaten up, then aren't they all just potential targets for being beaten up?
Based on Ling Yi's martial prowess just now, who could defeat her?
And there's also one who's taking sides...
Even if you win, you might still be guilty.
"Sneaky and petty actions are not the way of a true man!" Ling Yi was naturally not going to be fooled by this seasoned green tea; in terms of cunning, he was far inferior.
"I'm asking you, was it you who said the general and I were having an affair?"
"Is it you who said I got the soldiers by flattering the general?"
"Was it you who said I had a secret rendezvous with the general last night?"
Zhao Da coughed even more violently, clutching his chest, unable to express his suffering.
He didn't actually say that; it was the second brother who couldn't keep his mouth shut.
But can he say that now?
He betrayed his own brother in public; how could he possibly live with himself?
But we can't accept that!
Then, he became weak and breathless again, as if he was about to faint at any moment.
"Bring two buckets of ice water." But someone didn't want him to faint.
Upon hearing this, Xue Zhen's face darkened completely, and he spoke coldly.
Zhao Dagang, who was about to breathe his last, suddenly felt a surge of energy rise again upon hearing these words.
He struggled to his feet, and with Zhao Er's help, he stood up with difficulty. He cupped his hands and said, "It was my fault, Brother Ling. Please forgive me for the sake of our comradeship."
"I apologize on behalf of my brother."
Seeing his elder brother so humble, Zhao Er tightened his grip on his arm.
The two brothers had three thousand men under their command, ten times the number of Ling Yi's soldiers before they were replenished. How could they apologize to such a minor military leader? After apologizing, would they still have any face left?
Ling Yi sneered: "You think a quick apology is enough? Today you dare to spread rumors about my relationship with the General. How do you know you haven't spread rumors about the General before, and how do you know you won't spread excessive rumors in the future?"
This aggressive attitude of "you dare to eat grass today, but you dare to eat people tomorrow" left Zhao Da speechless.
The barracks are mostly filled with roughnecks. These are often the ones who are most concerned about saving face. As long as you give them enough face and don't let them suffer a big loss, they will let things go.
Zhao Da had always been used to doing things this way, but now he applied the method to Ling Yi out of habit, only to run into a brick wall, making his face turn red and white.
"Then please, Ling, write down the details so that I know how to apologize to you."
He wanted to just walk away and let Ling Yi make a scene, but the general was still watching, how could he dare?
Therefore, Zhao Da felt extremely distressed when he announced the compensation terms.
Ling Yi sneered: "How will you apologize?"
"Do you know how important a woman's reputation is? Do you know that if a woman is slandered like this by you, she might take her own life?" She pressed on aggressively. "Do you know that General Yunying is unmarried and that if you spread such rumors about her, she will have difficulty finding a wife in the future?"
Xue Zhen: "?"
Why is he involved?
It's not that difficult, and besides, he doesn't want to get married...
Seeing Ling Yi's elaborate schemes, Xue Zhen seemed to recall the day Ling Yi used moral blackmail on him, so he obediently shut his mouth and waited for her to continue.
Zhao Da was so angry at Ling Yi's words that he almost fainted.
Reputation? Suicide?
What do those two words have to do with you? You're surrounded by men all day long, and you're still saying these things!
That butcher who slaughters pigs has two male concubines. With your status, what right do you have to talk about reputation?
The general's strict discipline is evident in his ability to run away when he's done playing with the men!
And the general, how did he get associated with Yunying Weijia?
What's wrong with you?
"Then what do you want?" The eldest brother was so angry at this woman that he lost all his energy, so the second brother naturally had to step in.
His hand, which was supporting his older brother, was pinched until it turned blue. Even if he was stupid, he would know that his older brother was warning him not to cause any trouble.
Therefore, they had no choice but to swallow their anger and concede their interests.
Does this woman want money or her body?
If you need someone, I'll give you a maximum of one hundred; if you need money, I'll give you no more than one thousand
As his heart bled, Ling Yi changed the subject: "But then again, no one is perfect."
“We colleagues share a deep bond, and although you are unjust, I cannot be unjust.”
Zhao Er nearly strained his back from his words, a clear look of utter stupidity appearing in his eyes: "Then what do you mean?"
"What I want to do still needs the general's permission." Ling Yi cupped her hands to Xue Zhen, her expression respectful.
Xue Zhen's heart stirred, and he nodded: "Go on."
"I want to investigate the accounts of the two generals of the Zhao family." As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of those who had just been watching the commotion changed, and their eyes turned hostile as they looked at Ling Yi.
What military camp in this world can withstand an audit?
"I have no personal grudges with General Zhao, nor do I wish to have any." Ling Yi spoke rapidly before they could object, "Therefore, everything must be based on the greater good. If they are selfless and selfless, then we will naturally remain comrades-in-arms and will not mention today's events again."
“If not…” Ling Yi glanced menacingly at the two Zhao family generals, whose faces were ashen. “If that’s not the case, then please handle this matter impartially, General!”
She raised her chin: "I don't want to work with people who are less capable than me, less virtuous than me, and even less selfless than me!"
The map of Yan Kingdom spun around and around, and finally revealed the dagger. Ling Yi took out the dagger and stabbed it fiercely, causing the two Zhao brothers, who were caught off guard, to splatter blood everywhere!
