"This…"
Jiang Ning was a little hesitant. After all, with his current status, he didn't dare to sit on the seat beside Old General Che.
Seeing Jiang Ning's hesitant look, Old General Che stroked his long beard and laughed loudly," Haha, come on, if there's nothing else, forget about this seat. After today, this seat will also be yours!”
"Hmm?"
Jiang Ning's expression changed as he looked at the crowd in shock.
The surrounding generals had looks of dissatisfaction, envy, and admiration in their eyes…
All sorts of expressions were mixed together. Finally, Jiang Ning's gaze fell on Meng Tian.
Meng Tian smiled at Jiang Ning, her eyes filled with joy.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning walked forward with a buzzing head and sat beside Old General Che.
Only then did the red-haired man withdraw his gaze from Jiang Ning.
Immediately, the red-haired man's lips curled into an extremely feminine smile as he said in an extremely sharp voice,""Old General Che, since all the soldiers of the border city have arrived, this servant will begin to read out the king's orders.”
"Then please begin, Lord Zhao!"
Old General Che stroked his long beard.
"Yes!"
Nodding his head, the red-haired man stood up and took a red-gold brocade cloth from the young general behind him.
The red-haired man unfolded the brocade cloth and read aloud,""In the name of my king, I have often heard of the sufferings of the border. The soldiers of the border city have bravely defended the border for decades. Because of the contributions of the border city for many years, I have specially rewarded the soldiers of the border city with thousands of dollars of money and silk!”
Hearing this, Jiang Ning thought that it was over.
Unexpectedly, the red-haired man coughed dryly and continued reading.
"Ahem, recently, the general of the border city, Jiang Ning, has made outstanding achievements. He led more than a thousand soldiers to wipe out tens of thousands of Xiongnu. This time, the old general, Che Qu, is retiring and returning to his hometown.”
After he finished reading, the red-haired man put down the brocade cloth in his hand and looked at the soldiers with a gentle smile.
Other than Jiang Ning, the other generals had obviously heard some news and did not pay much attention to it. However, Jiang Ning's expression was a little amused.
Shock, astonishment, doubt, surprise…
A series of expressions flashed across Jiang Ning's face.
Jiang Ning really didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment.
In just half a year, Jiang Ning had climbed from a commoner to a border general who could lead 3,000 soldiers.
And now, he was about to become the general of a city. What kind of speed was this!
However, Jiang Ning was only shocked for a moment.
Soon, Jiang Ning regained her composure and bowed,""Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty!"
"Haha!"
Smiling faintly, the red-haired man took a step forward and handed the folded brocade cloth to Jiang Ning,""General Jiangning, in the future, the defense of the Great Qin border city will be entrusted to you. I hope that you will not disappoint the king!”
As he said this, the red-haired man gently patted Jiang Ning's palm a few times, which made Jiang Ning feel a chill in her heart.
Jiang Ning quickly retracted his hand and endured his disgust. He bowed and said,""Thank you, Lord Zhao. Please send my regards to the king on behalf of this general!”
"Hahaha! Of course!"
Seeing that Jiang Ning didn't want to talk to him, the red-haired man tactfully retracted his hand.
As he spoke, the red-haired man turned to Old General Che and said,"Old General Che, since this servant has already conveyed the king's decree, then this servant has nothing else to do. This servant will take his leave first.”
"Hahaha…"
Old General Che laughed and cupped his hands,"Lord Zhao, please stay in the border city for a few more days. I…"
As if he had realized something, Old General Che shook his head and said helplessly,"Sigh, this is called getting used to it. I can't change it in a short period of time.”
As he spoke, Old General Che turned to the red-haired man and said,"This old man has already arranged accommodation for Lord Zhao and his party in the border city. Please stay in the border city for a few days.”
"En, then I'll have to trouble Old General Che!”
As he spoke, the red-haired man took one last look at Jiang Ning before leaving the tent with the young general.
Only after the red-haired man had completely disappeared from the tent did everyone turn their gazes away.
The smile on Old General Che's face slowly disappeared.
Turning around, Old General Che looked at Jiang Ning with a serious expression,"Jiangning, this old man raised you up, and this old man doesn't need you to do anything for this old man. This old man only has one request: no matter where you are, no matter what the situation is, you will always stand on Great Qin's side.”
Looking at Old General Che's aged face, Jiang Ning sighed in his heart and whispered,"Old General, this subordinate understands that this subordinate is a citizen of Old Qin in life and a ghost of Old Qin in death. In the future, this subordinate will definitely do his best to serve Great Qin!”
Taking a deep look at Jiang Ning, Old General Che finally nodded," Alright, this old man was waiting for your words.”
At this point, Old General Che glanced at the generals around him and spoke in a low voice,"I will return to my hometown tomorrow. In the future, you must obey General Jiang's orders, do you hear me?”
"Yes, sir!"
Even though there were some generals who were not convinced, they could only agree loudly in this situation.
"Yes!"
Old General Che nodded his head in satisfaction," Alright, I'll leave that city to you. I'm already old and it's time for me to return to my hometown!"”
As he spoke, Old General Che waved his hand," Alright, all of you may leave. Let this old man take a final look at this tent that this old man has stayed in for over ten years.”
"Old General…"
Jiang Ning wanted to say something but Old General Che glared at him.
Helpless, Jiang Ning could only follow the generals out of the tent.
When they left the tent, Jiang Ning was stopped by Meng Tian.
Jiang Ning turned around and looked at Meng Tian who was walking over with her arm around Wang Ben's shoulder." Hehe, are you going to compliment me like those civil officials?"”
"Haha…"
Laughing loudly, Meng Tian said loudly," That's not true. Today is a happy day. Why don't the three of us go to a restaurant and get drunk? How about that?"”
"This…"
Jiang Ning hesitated.
Seeing Jiang Ning's reaction, Wang Ben was displeased." General Jiang Ning, are you afraid to challenge us to a drinking contest?"”
