My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

Qin Wujiu looked at Ning Chi's stubborn expression and sighed with a headache. Then he turned around and sat back in the main seat. He stared at Ning Chi and said, "You are not a child anymore. You should know the importance of things."

"Your father asked you to join the army for training this time, but it's only temporary. Do you plan to stay in the army forever?" Qin Wujiu frowned slightly and said, "Your mother only has you as her son, and the brothers in the Marquis' Mansion are all capable."

"You know, your mother hopes that you can become a talent soon and compete for the title of Marquis."

"The army is no different from other places. You can stay here for one more year at most, and then the Marquis of Lin'an will call you back to the capital." Qin Wujiu frowned and looked at Ning Chi and said, "If you become Zong Yanli's personal soldier, although you can learn something, there is no possibility of making achievements. What do you think is the point?"

Ning Chi's eyes widened. He had never thought so much or so deeply.

Ning Chi opened his mouth for a long while before saying, "My brothers are already taking care of the Marquis' Mansion. Why should I fight for the position of the Crown Prince?"

"I want to stay in the army. I can make achievements by staying in the army and become a general in the future, just like my uncle and grandfather!" Ning Chi straightened his back and spoke very loudly.

"Do you think it's that easy to be a general?" Qin Wujiu said coldly, "Besides your martial arts skills, what else do you have?"

"The battle situation is dangerous, and the two armies will suffer countless casualties. If something happens to you on the battlefield, how will you let your mother survive?" Qin Wujiu clenched his fists and endured it again and again.

"I……"

Ning Chi was a little speechless, and gritted his teeth and said, "Other people's lives are lives too. Many soldiers in this army have relatives at home and can go to the battlefield, so why can't I? If mother insists on stopping me, then let mother have another child!"

Qin Wujiu's eyes widened and he said angrily: "You bastard!"

The tall and strong Qin Wujiu was so angry at Ning Chi that he turned around, picked up the whip beside him, and whipped Ning Chi fiercely.

"Ah——!" Ning Chi cried out in pain from being beaten.

"You've learned from your grandfather for so many years, but I think you've learned nothing!" Qin Wujiu beat him without mercy, and it was obvious that he was very angry.

"Ah! Uncle, I was wrong! Ah! It hurts, it hurts..." Ning Chi screamed and ran away with his head in his hands, but the whip in Qin Wujiu's hand seemed to have eyes, and every time it hit Ning Chi, it hit his back.

Ning Chi, who was beaten, didn't behave himself at all. He applied medicine pitifully and even wanted to be Zong Yanli's personal soldier.

Qin Wujiu held his forehead with a headache: "I don't even worry so much about my own son!"

Finally, Qin Wujiu had no choice but to personally lead Ning Chi to Zong Yanli's tent.

When Zong Yanli saw Qin Wujiu coming, and then looked at Ning Chi who was following Qin Wujiu with his head down, he instantly understood Qin Wujiu's purpose.

"Greetings, General Qin." Zong Yanli stepped forward to pay his respects.

"You're welcome." Qin Wujiu raised his hand to support him, and then looked at Zong Yanli, then turned his head to look at Ning Chi, and felt his chest was choked up. They were obviously two people of similar age, how could there be such a big gap between them! ?

Qin Wujiu took a deep breath and said, "I won't be polite to you. I think you know what I mean. Ah Chi has been spoiled by his family since he was a child and doesn't know the importance of things. I originally wanted to bring him around to train him, but this kid refused to accept it."

Qin Wujiu turned to look at Zong Yanli and said, "Zong Yanli, if you are willing to accept him, then accept him!"

"This kid doesn't have any other skills, but he's quite good at fighting." Qin Wujiu finally thought of his nephew's good points, and said with a forced smile: "Don't worry about his identity, since he's here, he's your soldier."

"You can order him around like a cow or a horse. If he doesn't obey, you can beat him up!" Qin Wujiu snorted coldly and said, "It will also let him know the hardships of the soldiers in the army!"

Zong Yanli looked embarrassed, frowned slightly and said: "General, this is inappropriate, right? How dare I..."

Qin Wujiu waved his hand and said, "You don't need to think too much! This coolie who came to our doorstep should not be wasted, just don't let him starve!"

Qin Wujiu turned his head and looked at Ning Chi, saying, "Come and meet your general!"

Ning Chi's eyes lit up, and he knelt on one knee in front of Zong Yanli and said, "Greetings, General!"

Zong Yanli: “…” Now she had to accept it even if she didn’t want to.

Qin Wujiu snorted coldly, stared at Ning Chi and said, "Now that you have gone to Zong Yanli's camp, if Zong Yanli doesn't let you go, you will stay here honestly! No matter what suffering you endure in the future, swallow it. If you dare to come back and say a word, I will send you back to the Ning family immediately!"

"Yes!" Ning Chi responded loudly. Looking at his raised chin, it was clear that he was saying that he would never go back.

"Hmph." Qin Wujiu left the person behind and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

Zong Yanli bowed to see him off respectfully. After Qin Wujiu left, she turned around to look at Ning Chi. Seeing Ning Chi standing beside her with a silly smile on his face, she held her forehead with her hand in pain.

What sin had she committed...

Zong Yanli took a deep breath and said, "Go find Gao Feilin and ask him to arrange a camp for you and lead the army."

Ning Chi looked down at the armor on his body. It was shining silver and looked very sturdy. How could the armor worn by his personal soldiers be better than that worn by the general?

"Since I am the general's personal soldier, don't I live with the general?" Ning Chi raised his head and asked with a little confusion.

"I am good at killing people in my dreams. If you want to come, come and try it." Zong Yanli sneered, raised his eyes and looked at Ning Chi with cold eyes. His eyes swept across Ning Chi's neck, and Ning Chi was so scared that his face turned pale, and he covered his neck as if it was a conditioned reflex.

"Then... I'll go down first." Ning Chi left the tent in a hurry. He always felt a chill on his neck. Zong Yanli's temper was really weird.

Gao Feilin was very conscientious and took Ning Chi to his tent. As they were his personal soldiers, they naturally lived together.

Ning Chi took a curious look inside the tent, and found that many beds were empty.

Gao Feilin explained: "The general doesn't like to recruit personal soldiers. Now there are only you and me..."

Gao Feilin paused after thinking for a moment and said, "There is another person who used to be a personal soldier of the general. Now he has been transferred to another place. I don't know when he will return. If you see him, you should respect him as a deputy general."

"Why?" Ning Chi was puzzled when he heard this.

"You'll know later." A few words were not enough to explain it. Gao Feilin arranged for Ning Chi to leave in a hurry. He was the only one by the general's side, and he had a lot of things to do!

When Monk and his companions saw Ning Chi come out in a new set of military armor, they were all delighted: "Great! You've really become our general's personal soldier!"

Ning Chi was quite proud and felt that the armor on his body was much more dazzling than his own silver armor.

Although Ning Chi had never been someone else's personal soldier, he knew what a personal soldier should do. However, unlike Zong Yanli, she did not allow anyone to serve her close by. Most of the time, Ning Chi waited outside the tent, and the most he did was to help tidy up the desk and sweep the dust in the tent.

He had never even approached Zong Yanli's bed, let alone taken care of his excrement and urine...

Zong Yanli even washed his own clothes. He fetched water himself and brought it out after washing.

When it was time to eat, Zong Yanli also ate with his brothers in the tent, and he ate whatever they ate.

"Our generals are easy to get along with, right?" Monkie looked a little proud and smiled at Ning Chi.

"Hmm..." He is not easy to get along with either. As long as you do things according to the rules, Zong Yanli will always be very tolerant, but if you dare to disobey him, he will be really ruthless.

Apart from reading in the tent, Zong Yanli spent most of his time training with the soldiers. Gao Feilin and Ning Chi, who were Zong Yanli's personal soldiers, naturally trained with him as well. Despite such a boring military life, he did not slack off at all.

It's like this one day, every day.

Ning Chi didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after a long time he gradually figured it out.

It takes time for a drop of water to wear away a stone. Zong Yanli's current achievements were not achieved overnight. Like everyone else, she eats when she should eat, sleeps when she should sleep, and never slacks off in her boxing and sword practice.

"The plague in Geli Village was caused by the rebellion of the Qing Kingdom! Damn it!" Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Wujiu finally caught a spy from the Qing Kingdom on the hilltop where the widower often went. It took him three days to interrogate the man and he was very angry.

"Despicable!" Zong Yanhongtu also cursed. If this epidemic had not been discovered and controlled in time, countless innocent people would have died if it had spread!

The Qing Kingdom's spies clearly saw that Qin Wujiu's military camp was impenetrable and could not be penetrated, so they had to resort to harming the people of Changfeng County.

Qin Wujiu was walking, and suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Zong Yanli and said, "Next time Qing Kingdom attacks the city again, Zong Yanli, you will fight."

Qin Wujiu's brows were grim, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't take a piece of flesh and blood from Qing, I will never be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Zong Yanli looked solemn: "I have received your order!"

"Are all your injuries healed?" Qin Wujiu asked with a nod.

"Don't worry, General. It's just a fighting general. It's not worth the effort to cut off his head." Zong Yanli raised his lips and smiled. The words that came out of his mouth made Qin Wujiu's anger disappear. He smiled and said, "Okay!"

This was probably the first time in all the time that Wu State had been defending the city that it was looking forward to Qing State’s attack and challenge.

The Qing Kingdom did not make them wait too long. At the end of October, the Qing Kingdom once again launched an attack on the city.

Yuan Heng sat in front of the army and observed for several months but saw no movement inside Yuanshi Pass. He then sent spies to investigate but received no response for a long time and realized that his plan was a failure.

Yuan Heng was somewhat disappointed. He didn't expect that there was such a capable person in Wu State. Such a dangerous thing as the epidemic could not cause any waves. The Round Stone Pass was surrounded like an iron barrel. Was there only one way to attack it by force?

"Zhong Ming, this general is going to attack Yuanshi Pass today. Are you willing to lead the charge for this general?" Yuan Heng turned his head and pointed to someone.

"I am willing to serve the general at my service!" A tall general stood behind Yuan Heng and bowed to him.

"Okay!" Yuan Heng stared at the direction of Yuanshiguan with his eyes as sharp as torches and said, "In this battle, we can only win and not lose. Go ahead."

Zhong Ming responded loudly, turned his head and called out, "Bring me my sword!"

On the top of the Yuanshi Pass city wall, Zong Yanhongtu saw the man going out to fight and knew that the people from the Qing Kingdom had ill intentions.

Just looking at the precious horse under this man's saddle, one can tell that he has an extraordinary origin. Zong Yanhongtu said solemnly, "This man's surname is Zhong, and the single character is Ming. He must be a descendant of the Qing Kingdom clan and comes from a famous family. The precious sword in his hand and the precious horse under his saddle are not ordinary things."

"Pei Liang, you use a sword, right?" Zong Yanli stared at the bell, then suddenly turned to look at Pei Liang.

"...Yes." Pei Liang was stunned for a moment and responded silently, wondering in his heart, does the general want him to fight?

However, just as Pei Liang had this thought, he heard Zong Yanli say: "In the Nankang battle, when you joined my camp, I didn't give you any benefits. Now I can give you some compensation."

Zong Yanli smiled at him and said, "Do you like that sword?"

Pei Liang looked a little dazed. He looked at Zong Yanli, then at the sword held in Zhong Ming's hand. He was not sure what Zong Yanli meant, but he nodded and said, "Famous swords are rare. I like them."

Zong Yanli's expression relaxed, and he turned around and said, "General, I just happen to be in need of a precious horse. How can I refuse such a good thing that has been delivered to my door?"

"General, please allow me to go into battle!" Zong Yanli's warhorse died in the Nankang army formation along with Shi Potian in the last battle between Nankang and Wu State. The horses he uses now are all replacements.

"Haha!" Qin Wujiu laughed loudly: "That's right!"

Zong Yanli stood up and took out his long sword. Ning Chi came over with his warhorse. This was the first time he saw Zong Yanli go into battle. Ning Chi whispered, "General, be careful."

Zong Yanli sat upright on the horse, glanced at him, nodded lightly, and drove the horse out of Yuanshi Pass.

"Who is coming?" Zhong Ming waited for a long time, and when he saw that the person coming to fight was actually a young general, he frowned slightly and shouted loudly.

"Pingnanying, Zong Yanli." Zong Yanli smiled and responded loudly.

"Zong Yanli?" Zhong Ming's face became solemn upon hearing this. He pulled the reins tightly and asked, "Are you the Zong Yanli from Wu State, known as General Yanluo?"

Although Zong Yanli's name was not known to everyone after the battle of Nankang, he was already somewhat famous. He was no longer like the first time when no one knew his name.

How could the famous general of Qing Kingdom be a commoner?

I have already found out everything I could about the generals of Wu State. How could I not know the name of General Yan Luo, Zong Yanli?

"That's right, Mr. Bin." Zong Yanli responded by raising his chin slightly.

“Hahaha!” Zhong Ming’s eyes lit up and he laughed out loud: “This general’s sword will not kill unknown people. I have heard that you, General Yanluo, are as vicious as a demon. Today I want to see for myself! I ask you, the ghost general, to shock the ferocity of my sword!”

Zhong Ming shouted loudly and rushed over with a sword.

Zong Yanli said, "Well done!" and rushed forward with his sword. After a short fight, Zong Yanli couldn't help but praise it in his heart, what a precious sword!

Not only was her horse not as fast as Zhong Ming's, it was also not strong and smart enough. In their first fight, Zong Yanli seemed to be at a disadvantage, so she held her sword in front of her in defense.

Zhong Ming not only had a precious sword, but also had a precious horse to help him, and he was even more brave. The swordplay and saber-beating were so intense that sparks flew everywhere. All the people watching the fight on the city wall clenched their fists, their eyes fixed on the battle below.
