Chapter 81 One Arrow Settles the World (4)
After practicing for the past few months, Zhou Weiqing’s Heavenly Power has truly reached the fourth level of Heavenly Energy, but it is still not enough to attack the Yongquan Point. He had tried a few days ago, but it was no longer enough before the Tianli reached his knees. If you want to hit the Yongquan point, you must at least rush the Tianli point to the Zusanli point first, then rush to the Sanyinjiao point through the acceleration of the Zusanli point, and then accelerate again before hitting the Yongquan point. Obviously, this requires a process of accumulating Tianli force.
Fifth Regiment, Division Headquarters.
"What? You want to resign as the commander of the third battalion? Viscount Shangguan, are you kidding me?" Gao Sheng, captain of the fifth regiment, looked at Shangguan Bing'er with a determined expression in surprise.
Shangguan Bing'er said solemnly: "Captain, of course I am not joking. I found that I do not have the ability to command a battalion of soldiers and horses. In terms of commanding the army, I still have great shortcomings. It cannot be because of me. It's unfair for the soldiers of the Third Battalion to sit in a high position. Commanding an army is a profound knowledge. I think I am not capable enough. If I continue to command the Third Battalion, there will be no big problems for the soldiers of the Third Battalion. Guys, please agree to my request. I would like to stay in the military camp and become a soldier to directly participate in the war, rather than be an incompetent battalion commander.” Among the three people, in addition to Shangguan Bing'er and Gao Sheng, the captain of the regiment, who both held the title of viscount, there was also Qian Zhantian, the deputy captain of the fifth regiment who also served as the commander of the first battalion. The two looked at each other, both feeling a headache.
Gao Sheng said: "Viscount Shangguan, you have just killed six of the opponent's pearl masters and captured two alive. I am about to report to the military headquarters to ask for your credit. Why are you doing this? You can take your time in commanding the army."
Shangguan Bing'er shook his head vigorously, "This is all the credit of Captain Xiao. If it weren't for his proper command, not only would I be killed by the opponent, but our army would also suffer greater losses. I can't Use the blood of the soldiers of the third battalion to train my own command ability. Please agree to my request."
Qian Zhantian said next to him: "Captain Shangguan, you also know that the battalion-level generals will be transferred. It’s not that we have the final say. The way I see it, we will report your resignation to the military department, and everything will be decided by the military department.”
Shangguan Bing'er said: "Then please give the order to the commander of the company. Captain Xiao will be the acting commander of our third battalion for the time being. I will no longer participate in the command of the third battalion."
Gao Sheng saw that she was very determined and said helplessly. : "Okay, I'll just follow Viscount Shangguan's wishes."
"Captain Xie Lian." Shangguan Bing'er gave a military salute and retreated.
Gao Sheng looked at Qian Zhantian, and the two looked at each other. Qian Zhantian whispered: "This girl is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. However, it is indeed a bit hasty for the military to let her serve as the battalion commander. After all, she has not been trained by a real military school. "
Gao Sheng said: "This is what the marshal means. In fact, the marshal intends to let her experience the atmosphere of war on the front line and then slowly train her. However, she is indeed not suitable to stay. Today's sneak attack was obviously planned by Cressy. If something happens to her here, how can I explain to the marshal? I will write a report to the military department and send the letter back. There will be a reply within days. Lao Qian, will you mobilize the people from the first battalion to station next to the third battalion to strengthen the defense and ensure the safety of Viscount Shangguan?"
"I really hope that Viscount Shangguan will be safe. Grow up early, but it’s a pity that she is a girl. I don’t know if she can take over the marshal’s responsibility in the future.”
...
"Little Fatty, are you there?" Zhou Weiqing was practicing in the tent, when he suddenly remembered Shangguan Bing'er's voice outside.
"I'm here." After finishing training, Zhou Weiqing jumped out of bed, raised the tent curtain, and Shangguan Bing'er walked in from the outside. Zhou Weiqing immediately noticed that something was wrong with her mood, and her eyes were full of loneliness. , the whole person seemed a little absent-minded. Moreover, this was the first time she directly called him by his name. "Bing'er, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Weiqing pulled out a chair and motioned for her to sit down.
Shangguan Binger suddenly looked up at him, "Am I stupid? I failed to control the soldiers well. I..."
Looking at her sudden excitement, Zhou Weiqing Startled, "Bing'er, why do you say that? You can't be blamed for what happened today. Besides, we also caused great damage to each other."
Shangguan Bing'er shook his head and said: "I'm not a qualified commander, Xiaopang, you know? In fact, I don't know how to command an army well, and I don't know how to arrange troops. I used to always I thought that even if I was a Dzi Bead Master, I could make up for it with my own strength. Today I suddenly realized how stupid my idea was. Dzi Bead Master and army commander are two completely different concepts. No wonder. Captain Xiao always dissatisfied with me. He is right. In comparison, he is more suitable to be the battalion commander than me. I have already submitted my resignation to the commander of the regiment. The order will come down soon."
Zhou Weiqing patted his shoulder and asked, "Can I lean on you?"
Shangguan Bing'er was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhou Weiqing's concerned eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she finally stepped forward. , gently resting her head on his shoulder, but keeping a slight distance from Zhou Weiqing with other parts of her body.
Zhou Weiqing's heart was full of pity, and he raised his hand to hug him, but Shangguan Bing'er stopped him hastily, "Don't move."
Zhou Weiqing stopped immediately, "Okay, I won't move."
She leaned on his shoulder so gently, slowly closed her eyes, and whispered: "Little Fatty, do you know? In fact, I am very tired, and my heart has always been very tired. .”
"I understand. After all, you are only sixteen years old, but you are the only Dzi Jewel Master in the empire besides Marshal Zhou. You have too many responsibilities and expectations. You must continue to practice to improve yourself. It's too hard for you to have to adapt to everything in the army."
"I'm not afraid of hard work, Xiaopang, you know? I'm really not afraid of hard work. I can hold on even if I am tired. But today, so many soldiers died in front of me, and more than seventy lives were lost. It would be good if at most half of the seriously injured ones could remain in the army. My life was lost because of me... In the past, they never let me go to the battlefield. Before today, as a battalion commander, I had not even done anything. Today was the first time I killed someone, and it was also the first time I saw so many people. I feel so uncomfortable to die in front of me, I really feel so uncomfortable. I can no longer be the battalion commander, otherwise, one day, more soldiers will die due to my improper command. I really don’t want to watch. The way they died in front of me one by one."
Zhou Weiqing was slightly shocked. He really didn't expect that today would be Shangguan Bing'er's first time to kill someone. No wonder she had such a big reaction. Seeing so many people die trying to protect her, her heart couldn't bear it anymore. Feeling the slight trembling in her body, Zhou Weiqing said solemnly: "Bing'er, let me bear all this for you."
Shangguan Bing'er's body stiffened. She fully understood what he meant. With his talent, if his identity as a Dzi Jewel Master was revealed, then there would be no doubt that the pressure on him would be transferred to him. If we say that Shangguan Bing'er's attitude towards Zhou Weiqing has always been extremely contradictory, in this contradiction, resentment accounts for the majority. Then, the moment he said these words, all the resentment seemed to disappear. When she needed comfort most and was most vulnerable, Zhou Weiqing's calm words made her heart break for the first time. I was moved because of him. She had never felt like this before, even when his arrow saved her life, but at this moment, she really felt that this man's shoulders were something she could rely on.
The hands that were originally hanging on both sides of her body quietly lifted up and gently hugged Zhou Weiqing's back. The few inches of distance that originally existed between the two disappeared, and she was finally willing to hug Zhou Weiqing voluntarily. Live him.
