Chapter 346: Jealousy
"Wait, wait," Shen Mengting immediately raised her arm.
Ma Liming seemed quite surprised, and his body, which was about to turn around suddenly, also stopped stiffly, "Well, what's the matter, does the marshal have any opinions?"
"Wait a minute, just now you said you wanted the soldiers to stop and rest, right" Shen Mengting's eyes slightly released an angry gaze.
"yes, it's not early."
"But they also traveled for half a day, oh, I shouldn't say that they didn't even come for half a day, they all came out in the afternoon. It's not even evening, how can you stop without permission?"
"But it's getting evening now," Mr. Ma said, word for word.
"What about the night, which military discipline stipulates that you can't rush at night" Shen Mengting's tone was quite tough, "It's a very moment, don't you know our situation Just more than ten days ago, the Sauron Empire had already placed troops on the border, and now they may have arrived in our national territory, and you actually asked the soldiers to rest slowly"
Ma Liming seemed to be shocked, and he didn't say anything more. It's just that the group of soldiers behind him appeared to whisper.
Soon after, one of them, as if a representative, drove his horse a little distance.
"I say, marshal, it seems that all the polite things she has just said are kind. She's a tall marshal herself, and we're just her subordinates."
Ma Liming didn't reply, but stared at Shen Mengting tightly.
Qian Hao was quite surprised by the title, because the soldier did not add a subword in front of the marshal. I don't know if he did it intentionally or unintentionally. But Qian Hao could still see that the soldier only had Ma Liming in his eyes instead of Shen Mengting.
"I'm just saying what I think, it's really not a time to rest"
Faced with Shen Mengting's explanation, the soldier shook his neck disappreciatively, "You really have your father's unkindness."
But the moment the words fell, Ma Liming turned his head and glared at him, "Wang Wenjie, what are you talking nonsense when you shut up?"
Ma Liming's roar was still more useful, and the soldier didn't dare to talk nonsense. Even, he obediently commanded the horses and returned to the army.
At the moment, a silent atmosphere was enveloping these people, and they did not speak for the rest of the day.
Qian Hao could see that the group of soldiers who followed Ma Liming and also rode horses were his cronies. This explains why they only have the deputy marshal in their eyes.
"Ma Liming: I just don't think it's time to rest. We need to hurry to the border so that the situation doesn't get worse."
Ma Liming didn't respond quickly, after he shrugged his shoulders, he also blew forward, "Okay, let's continue to hurry, who called the generalissimo's order not to be disobeyed, even my deputy, can only be sent by Hou."
"Ma Liming"
"But hopefully you'll be aware of it. You're an officer on horseback, and your brothers are on foot."
Ma Liming's words were like lightning, and they instantly slashed at Shen Mengting. It is true that she has only realized this problem now.
Awkwardly turning her head to the group of soldiers on the way, she realized that they seemed to be feeling a little tired.
But rules are rules, and at present, their time is very tight, and even if they are tired, they must forcibly drive the road down. Therefore, Shen Mengting still didn't plan to change her mind, and vowed to carry out the rush order to the end
"If you're tired, I can ask everyone to slow down, but it's only been half a day, and I'm definitely not going to let the soldiers stop. We're going to go to war, and some terrible suffering awaits us. How can you be afraid to stop for some reason?"
"Well, you're right," Ma Liming nodded slightly. However, judging from the frivolity he showed on his face, he was certainly not blessed, and "I have also decided to continue on my way, in accordance with the orders of the king's generalissimo."
After that, the deputy marshal drove away directly, without looking at Shen Mengting again. And the group of soldiers who followed behind them also followed.
Seeing the group of people running forward, Shen Mengting didn't say anything more.
The situation here has reverted to its original monotonous sound, and only the footsteps of a large number of soldiers hurrying are left.
"Wow, that's really ill-intentioned," Qian Hao stabbed his horse and thought Shen Mengting approached.
But what she didn't expect was that Shen Mengting didn't pay attention to it this time, and quickly yelled the word driving, and she also moved forward. However, the speed was not as fast as expected, but the walking pace was the same as that of the soldier next to him.
Seeing this, Qian Hao followed again, he tried to be parallel to Shen Mengting, and glanced at him from time to time.
"Qian Hao, what are you doing, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't pretend to be anything on the side"
"Oh" Qian Hao's body instantly leaned back, this is what you said to be honest, but he has countless words in his heart at the moment. Casually flicking the reins in his hand, he lowered his body forward, "What's the name of that deputy marshal?"
"His name is Ma Liming, and he has always been the deputy marshal of our Saran Kingdom, which has already reached this status when Uncle Yang Jiening was alive."
"Wow, I don't see how powerful it is."
Qian Hao seemed to half-praise that Ma Liming, but Shen Mengting didn't respond.
The atmosphere seemed a little weird again, and Qian Hao had no choice but to spread out the chatterbox. Because I felt that if it was too bent, it would make Shen Mengting not want to answer. So he went straight to the point and threw out what he wanted to say, "I don't know if I'm too careful or what, that Ma Liming doesn't seem to be convinced by you at all."
When all these words were released, Qian Hao breathed forward again.
Shen Mengting slanted her eyes in the direction where Qian Hao was, "Well, this is not your heart. That's how he is, he never served me."
"Oh, why is this happening?"
"He was an officer who followed me in my father's time, and he became a deputy marshal later, and he is also the most authoritative general after Uncle Yang Jiening, Originally, after Uncle Yang Jiening's death, he should inherit the position of marshal" Shen Mengting's mouth was moving.
This is the rule of the Kingdom of Saran, when the marshal leaves, it is natural that the deputy marshal will take his place. After Shen Mengting's father died, he was replaced by Yang Jiening, who was originally the deputy marshal. However, today's Ma Liming has never enjoyed this regulation, which is why he is very unconvinced
Shen Mengting guessed like this. Once upon a time, she herself almost thought that Ma Liming must be the one who succeeded Uncle Yang Jiening's position.
But
"Oh, I kind of get it," Qian Hao made a sudden look. He also raised a fist-clenching hand and slammed it on the palm he was holding up, "He was supposed to be the marshal, but I didn't expect to be parachuted into the air by you, a little girl, to snatch the position." In other words, he's jealous of you, the airborne girl."
Shen Mengting's eyes glanced at the oblique plane one step closer, and she didn't mean to wait and see Qian Hao at all. However, she just pinned her hopes on certain actions to alleviate the feeling of confusion in her heart.
"That's pretty much it"
"Oh, that's it, then he has a position to hate you," Qian Hao's arms were spread, "A deputy marshal who has been a pioneer in the barracks for many years." I thought that the vacancy of the marshal position could be topped by myself, but I didn't expect it to be snatched away by you, a little girl. No one can accept this."
I thought that Shen Mengting would show some guilt, but in fact, she snorted on the contrary. Seeing this woman so resistant, Qian Hao's heart couldn't help but give birth to a lot of surprise.
"Qian Hao, what are you talking nonsense, the position of marshal is originally based on ability, and it is not based on seniority. Ma Li knew that he had no other skills than to stay in the barracks for a long time. Do you think he is up to the post of marshal?"
"Oh, why do you say that"
"He is already a man in his forties, but he only has the title of a senior swordsman, what do you think he will do, the reason why he can become a deputy marshal is also because our Saran Kingdom has lacked talents over the years, otherwise it would not be his turn to be a senior swordsman."
"Oh, he's only up to the rank of a high-level swordsman"
"What do you say" Shen Mengting's eyes narrowed, and she looked at Qian Hao with a mocking gaze. However, because she didn't pay attention to the reins in her hand, her speed increased a lot.
In desperation, she pulled the reins of her horse tightly, causing the horse to slow down again.
Shen Mengting didn't talk nonsense about Fang Cai's words, Ma Liming's strength really didn't dare to compliment. He started as a small soldier in the barracks and eventually climbed to the rank of general. Although it can be regarded as one step at a time, the upper limit is only the top of the high-level swordsman. The reason why he later became a deputy marshal, and was appointed to take over the marshal's departing class, was because the talents of the Saran country had withered.
It's been many years, and the Kingdom of Saran hasn't produced a young man of expert level. Even, Shen Mengting heard that many young people in the country could not even pass the assessment of junior occupations. A deep shadow has always hung over her heart, and compared to the Sauron Empire next to her, the gap is really too big.
Alas, Shen Mengting was a little distracted again.
"But I'm thinking, aren't the two of us at the expert level, it seems that we only have reached the advanced level," Qian Hao's eyes rolled up, and he still had a mischievous tone.
Because of the relationship between the horses being ridden, the body is jolting. Previously, he could control it with his tight body, but after a long time, he gave up like a drift.
This horse is also too unstable Qian Hao lowered his head slightly, and his heart was still full of complaints.
"Qian Hao, don't forget, how old are we, the expert swordsman level, I will get it sooner or later, then" Shen Mengting looked firmly ahead. She had even imagined in her mind that when she reached the expert swordsman level, she would be embraced by her subordinates.
"Oh, that's right, we're only less than thirty, as long as we work hard, we can still win the expert level"
"Qian Hao, don't make up those ambiguous words. It shouldn't be, but it should be" Shen Mengting subconsciously fell down her head.
Seeing that she was taking it seriously, Qian Hao didn't want to pour any cold water. He sighed helplessly.
However, at this moment of conversation, Qian Hao's heart suddenly felt a lot of uneasiness. From what he had just seen and heard, he saw the contradiction between the marshal and the deputy marshal of the army. To be honest, this is not a good sign, it is difficult to say whether it will affect the future of the battle, and the enemy is still so strong
"So don't put me and that Ma Liming together, talk about a person in his forties who has been stereotyped, there is no room for improvement, it is estimated that he will only reach the advanced level in his life," Shen Mengting continued to talk about. Although she was riding leisurely, the tone of her mouth was almost at its toughest.
"Okay, well, you are right, then I, Qian Hao, will wish you in advance, I hope you can always be in the position of generalissimo" Qian Hao directly raised his hands, no matter how tightly the reins of the horse were wound in his hands, he still made a fist salute.
"Che Qianhao, you give me less of this set"
"Wow, what are you doing, I'm not encouraging you?"
"Hey" Shen Mengting suddenly sent a stunned gaze, "What the hell do you mean, do you think I don't know, don't you get me some sarcastic words?"
"Ah, that's how much you think," Qian Hao spread his hands again.
"I didn't think much about it, only you know this" Shen Mengting seemed to be a little angry. She suddenly shouted a driving word, and the movement of her hand also cooperated with the reins of the horse to fall down.
Nassa, who had been ridden, rushed forward as fast as she could.
"Hey, what are you doing, wait for me," Qian Hao also followed a driving word.
They followed the left side of the road and overtook many of the soldiers who were walking on the right side of the road.
The sky was already darkening, and the red glow at the end of the distance seemed to be completely dissipating. Shen Mengting knew very well that the pitch-black sky was about to take its place.
was about to go into the wilderness, Shen Mengting looked up to the sky and took a deep breath.
The soldiers were still on the road, and Shen Mengting was also riding a horse and wandering around. She was measuring the distance ahead. Walking out of Qingse City, it can be regarded as a half-day road now. The march was going well, at least for now.
However, even if you don't feel the hard way like this, it will take at least a week to reach the border.
For a week, Shen Mengting looked down at the sky uneasily, and the bright moon was about to appear.
A week isn't a long time on a normal day. But on the border of imminent war, every hour can be said to be changing. In other words, Shen Mengting was still very resistant to a week in her heart, and she really wanted to lead the troops to the border tomorrow.
But the idea was unrealistic, and she sighed again and lowered her head.
Suddenly, there seemed to be some commotion in the ranks of soldiers who were hurrying next to her, and Shen Mengting quickly looked over there.
She didn't see what was going on there for the first time, because at least there was nothing strange about the soldiers who were close to her
It seems that the problem is still in the distance, Shen Mengting groped for the sound, and gradually aimed her eyes towards the front of the team. It was like groping around a giant serpent until it reached its head.
"You also heard the voice," Qian Hao next to him also interjected a question.
"Yes, is there something going on there," Shen Mengting's brows were furrowed.
"Let's go there and see it"
The two of them sped up their horses and ran towards the front of the group.
The problem was indeed at the front of the line, and as the distance closed, the sense of commotion grew closer.
The line ahead also stopped, as if the blood vessels were blocked, and a large number of soldiers were crowded on the side of the road.
"This can't be done" Shen Mengting hurriedly shouted, "Don't worry about the others, continue to hurry"
Her generalissimo's voice was useful, and the other soldiers bypassed the incident and chose to move on.
And the stone that is like blocking the blood vessels is still full of restlessness.
"What the hell is going on, what's going on," Shen Mengting continued to ride her horse towards the place where the incident occurred.
Soon, she found that Ma Liming and others were also next to the incident. They had all come down from the horses, and it seemed that what had happened was not trivial
Shen Mengting uneasily shook the reins of the horse in her hand until she completely came to the place where the incident occurred.
As if there was an argument, two soldiers gathered in the middle of the crowd twisted their limbs together. They were still playing wrestling, their bodies close to each other and bumping into each other. They don't throw each other to the ground, as if they won't give up at all.
"Hey, what are you doing, stop," Shen Mengting shouted.
When the soldiers saw the marshal coming, they all got out of the way. In this way, the scene that Shen Mengting can see will be clearer.
The two soldiers who were scuffling together had their armor out of their bodies, which made people feel disheveled.
When Shen Mengting saw this scene, she became a little angry. To fight like a scoundrel as a soldier is simply an insult to a soldier.
At this time, Qian Hao also rode his horse here, and after he pulled the horse to stop, he also let out a shout that was not too big, "Wow, what's going on, what's going on?"
"The two soldiers have a conflict and are fighting."
The answer to the question was Ma Liming. The lieutenant marshal had already dismounted, but was watching from the sidelines. He didn't seem to have the slightest intention of trying to settle the matter for the two soldiers
