Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

"Ahem!" Qin Zheng hurriedly pulled his thoughts back from their wandering state.

"We are now familiar with each other. We are all brothers. I will protect you in the barracks from now on."

Sui Ning’s face was full of question marks:???

familiar?

Is it the kind of familiarity you get from someone you’ve only known for two days?

Qin Zheng continued to talk: "Since we are brothers, would it be too unfamiliar for me to call you little brother?"

"Whatever." Sui Ning didn't care. It was just a name.

Qin Zheng frowned slightly, struggling with the name in his mind, "Ye Ning... Little Leaf?"

Sui Ning: ...

It’s better to call him little brother.

It's better than becoming a eunuch for no reason.

Before Sui Ning could refuse, Qin Zheng crossed out the unreliable name, "It doesn't sound good. It sounds like a little eunuch."

Sui Ning secretly complained to himself: So you know it.

"Ning Ning..."

The sound of "Ning Ning" immediately made Sui Ning's thoughts drift away, and she thought of the person she would never see again in time and space.

Hearing the call and looking at Qin Zheng's familiar face, Sui Ning was a little dazed.

"Ningning, how about this name?" Qin Zheng asked.

After coming to his senses, Sui Ning immediately refused, "It's too intimate."

Qin Zheng didn't think it was a big deal. He put his hand on her shoulder like a good brother and said, "We are brothers now. It's normal to be close to each other."

"But... the word Ningning does sound a bit feminine, so I'll just call you Ning from now on."

Sui Ning wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Zheng, "Don't you want to be my brother?"

Sui Ning: ...

This shameless man is enough to be called a brother of Xiao Huai.

The resolute, proud and heroic young man she first saw on the battlefield was ultimately an illusion.

------

The living room of the Ye Mansion in Beijing.

"Snapped!"

A bowl of tonic soup with a strong medicinal aroma shattered with a sound.

Looking at the broken tonic soup on the ground, Xu frowned and immediately slammed the table and stood up.

"What do you mean?! I treated you with courtesy because you were Ning'er's friend. How can you now destroy things at will in my Ye Mansion?"

Liu Liu quickly stood up and apologized, "Madam, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to cause trouble. It's just that you can't drink this tonic."

Xu was furious. "Why can't I drink? If you can't explain why, don't even think about leaving my Ye Mansion today!"

Liu Liu explained, "I've been out for many years and have a basic understanding of medicine. This tonic soup is actually a poisonous soup."

Xu was shocked, "Poison soup?!"

Liu Liu continued, "If you don't believe me, Madam, you can go outside the palace and ask a doctor to come and see you."

Having just read Sui Ning's handwritten letter, Xu still trusts Liu Liu.

Fortunately, in order to investigate Sui Ning's situation, she had sent away all the outsiders in advance, and now only her confidants were present.

Xu made a prompt decision and asked someone to secretly call a doctor from outside the house.

But unexpectedly, after checking the medicine residue, the doctor's diagnosis was exactly the same as Liuliu's!

Xu couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. She had been taking this tonic for years, but now she was afraid...

Sure enough, after the doctor took Xu's pulse, he found that there was a large amount of toxins remaining in his body.

The doctor couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "The person who poisoned this is truly vicious. This is a slow-acting poison, and its toxicity is hard to detect. But when the toxin accumulates to a certain level, it will cause a person to die suddenly!"

"Luckily, Madam discovered it this morning. Otherwise, at most two years, Madam, I'm afraid..."

Upon hearing this, the doubts that had troubled Xu for many years were instantly answered.

No wonder...

She was the daughter of a military commander and had a strong body.

But a few years ago, she had been feeling unwell and had been bedridden ever since. The court doctor simply said she was weak and frail, and no amount of medicine would help.

She didn't think much about it, just thinking that she had damaged her foundation when she practiced martial arts when she was young.

Now it seems that the person who poisoned her had planned it all along!

"Can it be cured?" Xu asked anxiously.

The doctor shook his head regretfully. "If this had been discovered two years earlier, I might have been able to find a solution. But now, the poison has already penetrated Madam's internal organs. I'm afraid even a deity would be unable to save her!"

Xu looked a little dazed, staggered, and his vision went dark.

Fortunately, Yingchun, the maidservant beside her, supported her in time, her voice choked with sobs, "Madam..."

"Nothing." Xu forced herself to cheer up and asked, "Doctor, how much time do I have left?"

Her death is not a pity, but Ning'er should not be affected by this matter.

"If we adjust well, it may take up to five years..."

Xu's face turned pale, her hands trembling slightly, and she felt extremely bitter in her heart, "Five years, that's enough..."

Liuliu was afraid of disrupting Sui Ning's plan, so she didn't say much. After finishing everything, she hurried back to report the situation to Sui Ning.

"You're doing the right thing." Sui Ning nodded in affirmation. "If we act rashly, we might just alert the enemy."

Mrs. Xu has the amulet she gave her to protect her, so her life will not be in danger for the time being.

But the war here must end quickly.

The next day.

Sui Ning officially became the captain of a thousand men, in charge of a team of a thousand people.

When she arrived at the training ground, everyone was already lined up, eagerly waiting.

Sui Ning nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the large-scale competition yesterday was effective.

But when she saw everyone's training results, her expression began to become serious.

Although the overall appearance is very impressive, if you look at each one individually, it is hard to look at.

Then, Sui Ning called the ten centurions in front of the soldiers and said, "Now, divide yourself into five groups and have a one-on-one sparring match."

Although everyone didn't understand why, they still followed Sui Ning's instructions.

The first group to come on stage happened to be two old acquaintances, Meng Qi and Zhang San.

Zhang San is a strong man with great strength.

Compared with Zhang San, Meng Qi moves swiftly and at an extremely fast speed. Both of them have their own advantages.

However, during the fight, although Meng Qi's movements were fast, his attacks were not enough to hurt Zhang San at all, which gave Zhang San an opportunity to seize and defeat him with one blow.

Sui Ning asked Meng Qi in front of all the soldiers, "How do you think your strength compares to Zhang San's?"

In front of all the soldiers, Meng Qi blushed and felt a little ashamed, "Century Captain Zhang is slightly better."

Sui Ning looked at the soldiers and asked, "Does anyone have any different opinions?"

No one objected, after all, everyone had witnessed the exchange just now.

Zhang San frowned and said, "Captain, do you think Meng Qi's martial arts skills are superior to mine?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the soldiers present looked at Sui Ning.

They all knew about the competition in the ring yesterday, and Zhang San took the initiative to challenge the captain.

At this time, many people were wondering in their hearts whether Sui Ning was taking revenge in public for personal reasons.

Sui Ning shook his head and replied, "You and Captain Meng each have your own strengths, and your abilities are equally matched."

Zhang San was dissatisfied. "But my brothers all saw in our previous fight that I defeated Meng Qi. If the Thousand-Man Commander makes a rash conclusion based on nothing, I'm afraid it won't convince everyone."

Sui Ning was not annoyed by this. She walked straight to Meng Qi and whispered a few words to him.

Then she said to Zhang San, "Why don't you two have another fight and see the result."

Zhang San knew that Sui Ning must have been giving Meng Qi some advice just now, but he just didn't believe it, so he started the second round of competition.
