Chapter 80 – Promotion of Xu Zhengyong

Hearing the sound of footsteps and seeing Wei Ruo come, the milkmaid was busy putting away her tears.

“Sister Ruo’er!” Xu Zhengyong smiled brightly.

Wei Ruo didn’t answer, but instead looked him up and down, front and back, carefully.

“Don’t look Sister Ruo’er, I’m fine, I’m not hurt, I’m awesome, the fights I had as a child weren’t in vain, and all of my master’s kung fu wasn’t in vain, and that incompetent man you gave me, don’t even mention how awesome it is!”

“Our crossbowmen’s shot at them one after another, the arrows rained down so densely that the group died before they could even get close to us, and by the time they were short they were already out of it. Plus I’m awesome, those short and frustrated-looking Japanese couldn’t even touch a hair on my head!”

In order to prove to Wei Ruo that nothing happened to him, Xu Zhengyong gave Wei Ruo a few gestures in place and did a backflip.

“Okay, okay, don’t flip it, carefully didn’t get injured on the battlefield, got injured playing treasure at home!” Xiu Mei stopped Xu Zhengyong without good humor.

“Hehehehehehe …… Meimei, do you have to call me senior brother from now on?” Xu Zhengyong didn’t forget about this.

“You wish, where is this going? It’s only one battle, you have to stay uninjured for at least three to five years to be counted.” Xiu Mei was busy saying.

“Three years and five years? That’s too long, isn’t it?” Xu Zhengyong flattened his mouth.

“Where’s the long time? Do you think being a soldier is a one-day thing? When you chose this path, you should have known that it’s a lifelong event, and it’s still not enough to keep you safe for three or five years!”

“Alright, alright, I’m a manly man who won’t bother with you, three years and five years is three years and five years, sooner or later I’ll have to make you willingly call me a senior brother!”

Xu Zhengyong replied confidently.

After finishing, he told Wei Ruo about his experience this time as if he was showing off his treasure.

“Sister Ruo’er, I’m about to be promoted!”

“Really?”

“Of course it’s true, the Seventh Highness himself promised!” Xu Zhengyong said, and then whispered, “They won’t let it be said that he’s the Seventh Highness’s, so I’ll secretly tell you guys, don’t spread it around!”

At this Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei both couldn’t help but roll their eyes.

“Brother Xiaoyong, don’t tell us such a secret next time, since it’s something you said you can’t tell the public.” Wei Ruo said.

“But you guys aren’t my outsiders! One of you is my sister-in-law, and one of you is my senior sister, there’s nothing I can’t tell you.” Xu Zhengyong was unimpressed.

“Anyway, just can’t. The military is not like other places, the rules that should be observed must be observed, military orders are like mountains, even if they are biological parents, sisters and brothers, they are not allowed.” Wei Ruo’s expression was serious.

“That’s right, Miss is right, listen to Miss well!” Nurse seconded.

“Okay, okay, then I’ll pay attention next time.” Xu Zhengyong agreed in a row, his old mother had opened her mouth, if he didn’t agree again maybe his father’s fist would be smashing down.

“Then go on, what position did the Seventh Highness promise you?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Sister Ruo’er didn’t you just tell me not to say anything?”

“What needs to be kept secret is the identity of the Seventh Highness not what he has promised you, right? You’ve said the most unspeakable part, why are you hiding and pinching the rest?”

“Oh, right oh.” Xu Zhengyong thought about it and thought it made sense, so he continued to reply, “It says that they’re letting me be promoted to Deputy Generalissimo!”

A general officer is the equivalent of a company commander, and a deputy general officer is the equivalent of a deputy company commander.

Last time, when I heard Wei Mingting’s meaning that he was going to promote Xiaoyong to be the chief flag, I didn’t expect Chu Lan to directly give Xiaoyong the promise of a higher level of deputy general.

Generally, a junior soldier has to be promoted to a small flag (squad leader) before being promoted to a general flag (platoon leader), and then to a deputy general, and Xu Zhengyong was promoted three levels at once.

Although Xu Zhengyong promotion still and Wei Mingting a lot worse, but Xu Zhengyong is just a new recruit, can in such a short period of time directly from the ordinary soldier, a cross three levels to become a deputy general is already very powerful.

“Really? You’re going to be a vice-governor?” Xiu Mei couldn’t help but cheer.

“Hey, how your highness promised me, I don’t know if it’s going to work out or not.”

“His Highness promised that is bound to be able to accomplish, His Highness wants to raise a person to do deputy general that is not a word of matter, and besides, brother Xiaoyong you this time is really have a big merit in the body, promoted with a reasonable and justified, there will be no problem!” Xiu Mei’s face was full of joy.

“What Mei Mei said is not wrong.” Wei Ruo agreed.

If only Wei Mingting side intends to promote praise Xu Zhengyong, Wei Ruo still do not dare to be so sure, but Chu Lan have opened this mouth, then the probability of success is almost one hundred percent.

Although she didn’t like Chu Lan as a person, his quality of being true to his word could still be affirmed.

Nanny said to Xu Zhengyong: “Then you are not quick to thank Miss, if not Miss help you make a machine crossbow, you what merit promotion.”

Nurse heart is very clear, son can get so big promotion also rely on the lady to give the machine crossbow, if only on the battlefield heroism, at most a small flag, which can be promoted three times.

“Right oh!” Xu Zhengyong suddenly got serious, straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully to Wei Ruo.

“Thank you sister Ruo’er.”

It was pretty decent up front, only to wrap up with his somewhat gangly, underhanded grin.

“The organ crossbow that I provided is one aspect, but Little Brother Yong also earned his appreciation by his own strength, but I have heard that Little Brother Yong is very capable of fighting, one fights several, and rushed to the front of the line when the two armies fought short-handedly.” Wei Ruo said.

“That’s also because Miss you hired a good master for him, or Miss thought long term and hired a master to teach the two of them early on, otherwise how could Xiao Yong have the skills he has now.” The milkmaiden was busy saying.

“That’s right, my mother is right, it’s still my sister Ruo’er who’s good to me! Had the foresight!” Xu Zhengyong smiled with a naive face.

Laughing and smiling, Xu Zhengyong thought of something, “By the way sister Ruo’er, the gold sore medicine you gave me was used up by me, do you have any more?”

“Where are you hurt?” Wei Ruo asked.

“No no, it wasn’t me.” Xu Zhengyong hurriedly explained, “It’s not me who was injured, it’s my comrades who were injured, medicine is very scarce in the barracks, there are wounding medicines are given to those who are heavily injured, my two comrades who weren’t seriously injured didn’t receive any medicine, so I gave them the Golden Sore Medicine that you gave me.”

The nanny slapped Xu Zhengyong without any good humor, “Brat don’t you know that Miss’s medicine is very expensive? That’s all reserved for you to save your life!”

Wei Ruo busily said, “Nurse all right, this money I can afford to spend, to the war veterans to use the value of the two days I give Xiaoyong brother to prepare more gold sores medicine, the next time you encounter such, Xiaoyong brother despite the use of is, do not have to worry.”
