When she heard Jiang Ning's words, Hu Ji's originally sorrowful expression instantly relaxed a lot.
Hu Ji smiled at Jiang Ning and said,""General, I will work harder.”
Shaking his head, Jiang Ning felt somewhat helpless. He didn't know if having such a concubine was good or bad.
He also didn't know why Old General Che would arrange such a woman by his side.
After drinking the medicine that Hu Ji brought for him, Jiang Ning ignored Hu Ji's dissuasion and insisted on going to the border town's main military camp.
………………
Along the way, the moment Jiang Ning stepped into the military camp, he noticed that the gazes of the soldiers around him had changed.
Previously, when he saw Jiang Ning, those who were of lower military rank than him would avoid his fearful gaze, while those who were of higher military rank would look at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
Now, regardless of whether they were higher or lower in rank, all of them were looking at him with respect.
Some of the soldiers 'eyes were faintly glowing with a scorching light.
Jiang Ning was baffled by the performance of these soldiers today. He couldn't help but quicken his pace and walk towards the old general's tent.
Old General Che Qu was considered a famous general who guarded the borders of the Qin country. He could have lived a comfortable life in the city.
However, he did not listen to his subordinates 'advice and wanted to eat and live with the soldiers.
This was also one of the reasons why the border guards respected the old general so much.
After passing through layers of defense, Jiang Ning slowly entered the old general's tent.
At this moment, in the tent, a white-haired, dignified old man in armor was drawing something on the map of the grassland.
Meng Tian was standing beside the old man.
When he saw Jiang Ning, the old man didn't stop what he was doing and continued to look at the map.
Meng Tian quickly walked to Jiang Ning's side and supported him. She said in a low voice,""General Jiang, why are you here? Didn't the doctor say that you still need to rest for a while before you can get out of bed?”
Jiang Ning shook off Meng Tian's support and waved her hand with a smile." It's okay, Meng Tian. Look at me, I'm full of energy now.”
As she spoke, Jiang Ning twisted her body left and right to show that her body had fully recovered.
Seeing this, Meng Tian looked puzzled." Eh, that's not right. The doctor said that you would need to recuperate for a while before you could fully recover. Could it be that the doctor made a wrong diagnosis?”
Jiang Ning smiled faintly and said,"
"Alright, Meng Tian, maybe the doctor you found is a quack.”
"Also, since the battle is over, there's no need to call me general anymore. According to military rank, you're one rank higher than me.”
Smiling, Jiang Ning ignored the confused Meng Tian and walked towards the old man who was looking down at the map.
When he came to the old man's side, Jiang Ning called out softly," General.”
The old man standing in front of Jiang Ning was Great Qin's current border city guard, General Che Qu.
Old General Che was already over fifty years old, but his dignity was still there.
Towards this old general, Jiang Ning was grateful in his heart because of the promotion and trust he had in him.
At this moment, Old General Che raised his head and looked at Jiang Ning in confusion.
A moment later, Old General Che regained his senses.
"Haha, so our hero is back!”
Laughing loudly, Old General Che placed his hand on Jiang Ning's shoulder.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning revealed a bitter smile. The old general in front of him was good in everything, but as he grew older, his eyesight and hearing gradually deteriorated.
According to some rumors in the army, Old General Che Qu had already submitted his resignation to Xianyang and was preparing to retire.
In regards to this, most of the Qin soldiers in the border cities were reluctant to part with him. After all, it was not easy to find a commander like Old General Che who was considerate of his soldiers and did his duty.
"Hey."
Jiang Ning sighed in his heart. He didn't know who would take over the position of Old General Chequ.
"Old General, don't laugh at me. Don't you know what kind of person I am?”
Jiang Ning smiled bitterly. He had no idea what to do with this old man in front of him.
Not only did Old General Che not stop laughing, he even became more impudent," Haha, although you made the decision on your own this time, this general will forget about it.”
As he spoke, Old General Che looked into Jiang Ning's eyes and said,""Not only will this general not remember your mistake, this general will also hand over your merit book to Xianyang and let the imperial court promote you.”
"This subordinate does not dare."
Jiang Ning hurriedly bowed.
Stroking his long beard, Old General Che said indifferently,"Alright, don't act like you understand this general. This general also has principles, and rewards and punishments are clear. This general hopes that you can do the same in the future.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ning quickly nodded," Yes, this subordinate will definitely not let General down today's teachings."”
It was just that Jiang Ning did not seem to understand what Old General Che was implying. However, those who were involved in the matter were more confused than those who were watching. Meng Tian naturally understood what Old General Che meant.
This was clearly the meaning of handing over power!
He had long heard that Old General Che was going to retire and return to his hometown. He had also received the news from his clan. From the looks of it, Old General Che's chosen successor was Jiang Ning.
However, Meng Tian was not dissatisfied with this. She was such a person. Since she had acknowledged your strength, she would not doubt you anymore.
But at the same time, Meng Tian felt gratified for Jiang Ning. She had seen Jiang Ning's hard work.
In his opinion, all of this was what Jiang Ning deserved.
On the other side, Old General Che took a deep look at Jiang Ning before saying,"Jiang Ning, do you know why I gave you this mission?”
"Hmm? You don't know?"
Jiang Ning shook his head.
Old General Che laughed, patting Jiang Ning's shoulder with a proud expression," Jiang Ning, do you know that this general likes your unpretentious personality? Whatever you think of, you will do it. The military needs people with a personality like yours.”
At this point, Old General Che seemed to recall something. He turned to look at Meng Tian and continued,""Of course, Meng Tian is the same as you. She has such a personality.”
