Chapter 259: Reluctantly Invited
"Therefore, I have decided to appoint you as the loyal protector of our army from now on! In addition, I will reward thirty taels of silver and ten buckets of grain and grass, and I will find someone to send it to you tomorrow. β
Listening to Huaxing, he not only promoted himself, but also jumped many levels in a row, directly crossed low-level titles such as Wu Chang and Uncle Chief, and was promoted to a protector who was only one level lower than the general!
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi was stunned for a moment, but soon showed a look of joy, and hugged her fists and said gratefully:
"Thank you for the promotion! The last general, the last general is grateful! β
It is often said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.
Although Lu Lingqi does not like to accept "special" care, she is the same as other soldiers in the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds, and she also hopes to be recognized by her superiors.
Therefore, after hearing about Huaxing's appointment, she took it as soon as possible.
But I was happy for less than three seconds, and I heard Huaxing's voice ring in my ears again:
"I'll let General Tang send a document later, and I'll announce this early tomorrow morning. After you move the military house, remember to go to him, in addition to receiving paperwork, there are also some military uniforms and armor that need to be equipped with ......"
"Wait a minute!"
As soon as these words came out, I saw Lu Lingqi showing doubts on the scene, staring at Huaxing with both eyes, and asked with a puzzled expression:
"General Hua, didn't you just take back the military order? Why do you have to move again? β
"Oh! That's what you're talking about......"
Hearing this, Hua Xing smiled harmlessly, and explained while nodding:
"I did take back the military order just now! But now, you are the loyal protector of our army. According to military regulations, you should move to an independent military house, am I not mistaken? β
As soon as she heard that she was going to move the military house because of her level, not because of her gender, Lu Lingqi's face softened a little.
But soon, I saw her eyebrows raised, and a trace of suspicion crossed her eyes:
"General Hua, you didn't deliberately promote me because you wanted to change my military house, right?"
"WhenγOf course not!"
didn't expect the other party to guess his intentions so quickly, and Huaxing's eyelids also jumped twice on the spot because of his weak heart. But he certainly wouldn't admit it easily, and replied while shaking his head:
"I thought about promotion as early as on the battlefield. It's just that I've been dealing with the prisoners of war for the past two days, and I haven't had time to announce it, so don't worry about it! Besides, with Miss Lu's ability, if it weren't for the fact that you had joined our army for too short a time, let alone a protector, it would not be an exaggeration to directly appoint a general. So the girl can rest assured, this appointment is definitely for your ability, and there is no heart to take care of! β
Although Huaxing's words are suspected of being a lie, in fact, most of the content is also his sincere words.
So when speaking, both the tone and attitude are natural. After hearing this, Lu Lingqi quickly believed the other party.
"Oh, that's right...... I was overly concerned just now, and I ask the general to forgive me. β
After smiling apologetically, Lu Lingqi wanted to say goodbye, but before leaving, she suddenly remembered something in her mind, and opened her mouth and said:
"By the way, the last general has a reluctant request, I hope the general will allow it."
"Girl, please."
"Well, I'd like to add an extra bed in the new barracks."
Lu Lingqi also knew that her request was not only excessive, but also unprecedented.
So when she spoke, she kept her head down, her voice was not loud, and she seemed to be very unconfident.
"Extra bed?"
As soon as these words came out, Huaxing's curiosity was aroused on the spot.
The military dormitory is not a hotel, so why do you need an extra bed?
Could it be that this little girl still has a bed change fetish? Want to sleep in a different bed every day?
Thinking of this, he saw that Hua Xing couldn't help but show a smile, and asked with a puzzled face:
"Why? Can you tell me why? β
"Because of it, because of ......"
Lu Lingqi knew very well in her heart that if she didn't explain this matter clearly, the other party would probably not agree to this request. So after hesitating for a moment, she finally told the truth:
"I want to ...... Ask someone to stay with me! β
Before the other party said the answer, although Huaxing had a lot of guesses, he really didn't expect to live with someone!
Hearing this, Huaxing was surprised on the spot, and his two eyebrows involuntarily came together:
"The girl wants to live with someone else? Who's that person? Belch...... It can't be the strong man surnamed Wu, right? β
In Huaxing's impression, Lu Lingqi only has one friend in the army, that is, Wu Zhuangshi he just mentioned - Wu Fan.
This person is very similar to Lu Lingqi in terms of height and body type, and his face is also covered with pockmarks and acne.
When they were recuperating in Huaxing before, the two of them had come to visit him in the tent, so Huaxing still had some impressions of this person, so he guessed casually.
But what he didn't expect was that this time he really let him get it right, and soon saw Lu Lingqi nodding and replying:
"That's right! It's this person! β
Before, Huaxing wanted to adjust the military house for Lu Lingqi, the main purpose was not to let a girl live with a group of boys all day long.
But now, Lu Lingqi actually offered to "live together" with Wu Fan, which really stumped Huaxing, and her face showed hesitation.
I couldn't help but think in my heart, could it be that the two of them are lovers, so they want to live together?
However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it stands to reason that the relationship between men and women should not be so open, and most of them have other hidden feelings.
Following this line of thought, Hua Xing carefully recalled Wu Fan's unique appearance and the subtle relationship between him and Lingqi.
After about four or five seconds, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Hua Xing's mind, and he immediately asked the other party:
"Lu Hujun, let me ask you something, should that Wu Fan also be a girl dressed as a man?"
"This, this ......"
Seeing that Lu Lingqi was hesitant, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped, Hua Xing hurriedly added:
"Don't worry, whether it's a man or a woman, I will keep it a secret for you. As long as you don't make it public, I will never reveal it to anyone. That can always be said, right? β
thought that after hearing her promise, Lu Lingqi would definitely speak freely.
But this is not the case, after hearing this, Lu Lingqi was still full of entanglement, and after thinking about it for more than half a minute, she finally spoke:
"Alas! I'm sorry, but this is ...... I have no comment! If the general doesn't allow it, then forget it, I'll figure it out myself......."
Although Lu Lingqi did not give a clear answer, from her expression and words, it was not difficult for Hua Xing to guess that this Wu Fan was also a woman nine times out of ten.
This also explains why the two of them are always inseparable on weekdays, and even think about each other when it comes to moving military houses.
