Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 23: Mixed Praise and Criticism

Standing before General Cui Yong's desk was Song Yi, the captain of the Central Army.

"Reporting to the General, this is the spoils sent by Hu Xixiang. After verification by the Border Army Inspection Team, it was confirmed that it was indeed the work of Centurion Song Qi."

Cui Yong had heard of Song Qi. It was him who was promoted from Jiazheng to centurion after killing several armored Tartars in succession.

It hasn't been long since he killed another bronze-armored Tartar.

"Why would a Bronze Armor person go to a place as remote as Huxi Township?"

Cui Yong was still a little confused.

After all, a bronze-armored Tartar carries a lot of weight.

He is different from the captain of a thousand men in the Zhenxi Army. Although he holds a high position, his ability is not reflected in his martial arts.

But it was not the case with the Bronze-armored Tartars.

Their abilities are mainly reflected in their own abilities. To put it bluntly, a bronze-armored Tartar can charge into a vast army on his own.

Song Yi frowned and said, "General, I heard it was because they lost a lot of supplies in Huxi."

Cui Yong waved his hand. He didn't want to investigate further. Regardless of whether it was true or false, the bronze-armored head and armor were in front of him.

"This Song Qi must be rewarded handsomely. The morale of the border troops is low, and they need a banner like this to boost their morale."

“I don’t know how to reward you.”

Song Yi became excited.

Because he is Song Qi's uncle and General Cui Yong's confidant.

"Just reward according to the standard."

Song Yi bowed and said yes, then left the central military tent.

Song Qi was very happy to receive the news. As a centurion, he had his own small tent in the barracks.

At this time, Song Qi was walking around in the tent, thinking about how to distribute the rewards given this time.

"This Lin Feng is truly my lucky general. He's incredibly capable and has made numerous remarkable achievements. How can I ensure he shuts up this time?"

Song Qi muttered to himself.

When he received the request for merit from Hu Xixiang and reported it to his superiors, he stole the credit for killing the Bronze-armored Tartar from Lin Feng, and he must have kept the bulk of the reward for himself.

Relying on his uncle's support, he was not afraid of any problems at all.

He would never go to Lingdouzi again because a Tartar soldier in bronze armor had actually gone there, which was too dangerous.

This time, just send a few men over to give Lin Feng more silver.

This time, he might be promoted to a general and be able to lead 500 soldiers.

However, as a general, he did not have the ability to let Lin Feng take the position of centurion.

The centurion is already a full-fledged cadre and must receive orders from the border army leader.

Song Qi was happily thinking about the generous reward when he heard the sound of horse hooves outside the tent.

Then, a voice shouted.

"Song Qi, come out."

Song Qi frowned. There were not many people in the border army who dared to call him like that in public.

They all respect their uncle Song Yi.

Song Qi got up and walked out of the tent, and found a young general in silver armor riding a white horse and holding a spear in his hand.

The young general was staring at him coldly.

Song Qi looked at the general on the white horse in surprise.

This is Cui Ying, the daughter of General Cui Yong.

She is also the most beautiful woman in Zhenxi Protectorate and the goddess in the hearts of many young generals and young masters.

Cui Ying was different from other women. She liked archery, horse riding, swordsmanship and charging into battle.

He learned riding and archery from his father since he was young, and was proficient in all eighteen martial arts, with extraordinary martial arts skills.

"General Cui, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Song Qi was secretly excited. Cui Ying never looked at her straight in the eye. She tried to talk to her several times, but she ignored her.

Cui Ying looked Song Qi up and down.

"Song Qi, I heard that you killed a bronze-armored Tartar in battle. Is that true?"

Song Qi was very proud that this was a great job.

"Of course it's true. The bronze armor, bronze plate, broken sword, and the head of the Tartar were all delivered to the general's tent."

"Where did you encounter the bronze-armored Tartar?"

"The area around Lingdouzi, Huxi Township."

Cui Ying narrowed her beautiful big eyes.

"Huxi has always been a poor place, a place that even the Tartars would not go to. How could a bronze armor appear there?"

Song Qi paused. Lin Feng didn't explain the reason clearly.

"Hmm, I guess I went in the wrong direction."

"Huh, you took the wrong road. Okay, how many men did you bring with you?"

Song Qi straightened his body with a proud look on his face.

"General Cui, are you questioning my record?"

"Stop talking nonsense, take up your weapons, and fight this general."

Song Qi's pupils shrank.

Everyone knows that Cui Ying is a martial arts expert, so generally no one wants to mess with her.

Even the military masters were unwilling to go against her.

Because she is the daughter of a great general and a goddess in everyone's heart.

There is nothing to be proud of if you win, but if you lose, you can forget about joining the Zhenxi Army.

"I won't fight you."

"Why, you look down on me?"

"I..."

Song Qi wanted to say that a good man does not fight with a woman, but he didn't dare.

The military camp is not big, with tents connected to each other.

Many officers heard them talking and came out of their tents to check.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Cui Ying raised the spear in his hand.

"Everyone, listen carefully. If Song Qi defeats this general, I, Cui Ying, will acknowledge that he has killed the Bronze-Armored Tartar in battle."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion among the crowd.

Most of the people here are low-ranking military officers, and they don’t know that Song Qi killed the Bronze-armored Tartar.

When they suddenly heard this, they all widened their eyes and looked at Song Qi.

For a moment, Song Qi's brilliance overshadowed the most beautiful woman, General Cui Ying.

All the soldiers here have been to the battlefield, chased by the Tartars and suffered humiliation.

Therefore, they all understood the importance of a Bronze-Armored Tartar.

After a moment of silence, a heated discussion broke out.

Song Qi looked grim.

I didn’t expect that I would get such a huge reaction for taking credit for something I did.

Seeing that the scene was in chaos, Cui Ying swung the spear in his hand.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Cui Ying has always been tough in the army, which is proportional to her appearance.

As beautiful as she is, her character is as strong as her appearance.

They all shut their mouths for a moment and looked at the two people in the field.

Cui Ying pointed his spear at Song Qi who was standing in front of his horse.

"Today you must fight, whether you want to or not. Go get your weapons."

Song Qi is a pretty boy with a handsome face.

Relying on his uncle, he started as a Jiazheng, and with the help of Lin Feng's military achievements, he soon became a centurion.

Its real ability is very limited.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't win by fighting, but if he didn't fight, he would lose face.

"General Cui, this energy should be used to kill the Tartars, not to fight among our own people."

"Bullshit, this is a military sparring match, it has nothing to do with internal strife. Hurry up and act, dragging your feet is unmanly."

Song Qi puffed out his chest, almost hitting Cui Ying's target.

"I won't fight you."

There was a commotion among the onlookers.

The sharp spear tip, more than a foot long, swayed in front of Song Qi's chest.

He was very nervous inside, but he appeared calm on the surface, lying on his back at a 45-degree angle to the sky.

Cui Ying was silent for a moment and withdrew his spear.

"Song Qi, you coward! This general doesn't admit that you killed the Bronze Armored Tartar."

After saying that, he pulled the reins, turned the horse around and rushed out.

The people standing around her were in a panic, dodging the warhorse's hooves.

However, with Cui Ying's challenge, the news that Song Qi had killed the Bronze-armored Tartars in battle also spread throughout the military camp.

It can be said that it has mixed reviews.

Most people don’t believe that a pretty boy could actually kill the Bronze-armored Tartar.
