A few days ago...

Le Di sat in the tent, not even looking up from her gaze, concentrating on the city defense map. She instructed her men, "Call Ya..." Le Di paused, "Call Xiao Ya to come and discuss matters."

The soldier bowed his head and replied, "Yes, General."

The sound of armor colliding with each other could be heard...

Tap, tap, tap—all I heard was the sound of hurried footsteps that was suddenly amplified.

In a blink of an eye, Xiaoya arrived.

Xiaoya used her hands to open the curtains on both sides of the tent, took a few steps forward and knelt down: "General, is there something important that you asked me to come here for?"

Le Di raised her head when she heard this. She was famous for being serious in the army, and now a rare smile appeared on her usually cold face.

Le Di looked at Xiao Ya, her eyes revealing the admiration of a talented person. She said, "Ya'er, please get up quickly. I called you here mainly to discuss this war with you."

Xiaoya didn't act pretentiously when she heard this. She stood up and sat next to Le Di. She said softly, "General, please."

Le Di closed her eyes, gathered her composure, and then spoke: "I have decided to promote you to deputy general, with authority under me. As long as I'm not around, you'll be the most powerful."

Xiaoya's eyes were stunned for a moment, then filled with gratitude, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Le Di changed from indifferent to slightly hot.

You know, Le Di is the general she has admired since she was a child. Seeing her so carefree and unrestrained on the battlefield, she felt so envious.

I joined the army and worked so hard just to be able to stand with the general! Now, this opportunity has come...

Xiaoya barely suppressed the burning heat in her heart, and asked rationally, "General, you..."

Seeing Xiaoya's awkward expression, wanting to ask but feeling a little embarrassed, Le Di understood. She smiled and said, "You want to know why I chose you, right?"

Xiaoya nodded in a very low voice.

"Just because you look good." Le Di raised her eyebrows and teased Xiaoya intentionally.

"Um...ah? General...you..." Xiaoya, a pure girl, blushed immediately and continued tremblingly, "I don't like women..."

Xiaoya's voice was very low. If Le Di didn't have good hearing, she really wouldn't be able to hear what she said.

Le Di first chuckled and said, "I'm just teasing you." Then she said seriously, "It's because I see you in the army like weeds, which can't be burned by wildfire, but will grow again in the spring breeze." (Source: Bai Juyi's "Fude Guyuancao Songbie")

You must have been bullied a lot when you first joined the barracks, right? I thought you'd walk away like the other nobles, unable to bear it, but I didn't expect you to be as resilient as a weed.

Then you showed your intelligence and talent, your talent in fighting, deploying troops, and your ability to be both civil and military.

I think you, Xiaoya, are a talent of Daxia, so I want to give you an opportunity. If you seize it, you will not only become a deputy general at this moment, but also a main general in the future!

I trust you. You and I have played together since we were little, and I know what you are capable of."

Xiaoya's eyes became more determined after hearing this. She looked at Le Di and promised, "Don't worry, Xiao Di. I will definitely not fail and let you down."

After that, Le Di said a lot without realizing it. As if she was lost in memories, she pulled Xiao Ya to talk about many interesting things in their childhood.

Xiaoya's eyes were also filled with memories.

Perhaps from this moment on, from the moment she raised Xiaoya's power to the same level as her own, Le Di had already decided her own fate.
