【Chapter 49】Dissent

"So fast." Although Yu Moji commented like this, his heart was still very calm.

She never seemed to be at the mercy of others before, and her mentality was never so calm.

Less than a year ago, when she was mourning, Wei Yeol just guessed her mind wrongly, which caused Yu Moji to have an emotional attack, and made an absurd oath in a fit of anger.

If you change to the current ink mark, you probably won't do the same thing again.

"Actually, Ling Ai told me about this before." Yu Moji smiled, "I just didn't expect it to be this month...... I thought that the teacher would let me study in the Cardinal Council for a while longer, and perhaps in the future I would be sent directly to the no-man's land south of Waige. ”

"It's too dangerous there, after all," Jin Niang shook her head, "Even with the strength of the Cardinal, the underwater mecha designed is not very useful. I came back halfway this time because I almost lost my life in the water. It may be a few years before the Council actually sends you over, when everything is ripe. ”

Hearing this, Yu Mochen showed a puzzled expression, "In that case, why did the teacher have to send me to the battlefield so early?" ”

"Although the Cardinal has accumulated the wisdom of the Yan Masters of the past, there is still only a limit to what you can learn here." Jin Niang explained, "In the final analysis, even though the armor is exquisite, it is just an artifact; Even if the study of Yanjia is excellent, it is still in the realm of 'art', and whether you can really control these things depends on your own heart. ”

Yu Mochen smiled, "When I first entered the Cardinal, the teacher told me not to lose my heart. ”

"Although he has made a decision to involve you in this matter, he does not want to force a change of your mind." Jin Niang seemed to sigh at her husband's naïve expectations, "Lu Chen said that although he is optimistic about your strength, and he also feels that many of your ideas coincide with him, there will still be a gap between the opinions based on imagination and the real situation." He wants you to go to war as soon as possible, and he also wants you to know more quickly whether you really want to go down this path. ”

"Mr. Normal still looks at me as a person, and I am very grateful." Yu Mochen said, "However, if I refuse to obey after I go to the battlefield, what should the teacher do?" ”

"Although I really hope that you can continue to follow the path set by the Cardinal, if you are not suitable after all, I believe that Lu Chen will also try his best to protect you." Jin Niang's words were a little difficult, "After all, he is a person who retains a heart of compassion." ”

"I see." Yu Moji nodded, "Actually, I used to guess whether every reserve who entered the Cardinal House had to go to the battlefield to experience life and death. At the time, the teacher said that this proposal was too extreme, but now it seems that there is actually some merit. ”

She said and laughed a little embarrassedly, "Does the teacher really say that he believes in my strength?" Actually, I can't believe it myself...... I'm afraid that if it continues like this, I won't be able to escape and will be sent to the battlefield at the graduation ceremony. It's also good to get used to it early. ”

"Lu Chen, Xiao Ling, and even by virtue of it, the evaluation of you is the same." Jin Niang's unique smile was revealed again, "They often say, 'Ink marks are good at everything, but they are a little less confident'." In retrospect, this is quite pertinent. ”

She gave Yu Mozhen an encouraging look, "You're a very smart kid. Believe in yourself. ”

Although Jin Niang's words were so, what came in handy later was actually Yu Moji's assessment results that were at the bottom from time to time at that time.

Probably in order to justify the dispatch of Yu Moji, a reserve, to the battlefield, the Cardinal suddenly proposed that a mid-term assessment be conducted, saying that it was to screen out a group of reserves who needed special training and go to the south to participate in the fight against bandits, which was regarded as a kind of actual combat training.

The news was very explosive, and for a while, everyone in the reservists was in danger. Yu Mojian, a person who barely heard what was going on outside the window, listened to the whole process pieced together, and even the details of the number of people who were scheduled to be sent to the battlefield reached her ears. In this regard, her heart was full of helplessness - she couldn't get out anyway, so why should she take a few people who had not yet left the division to die on the battlefield together?

However, when the Council of Governors officially convened a meeting of all the reservists and made the matter public, the reservists, who had already accepted the reality and were just waiting to finish the form, suddenly heard a voice from the back row. "I disagree."

Everyone was shocked by this sentence, and they all looked back to see who was so bold and dared to resist head-on in front of many masters of the Cardinal. Yu Moji was in a daze, and her wandering spirit was bluffed back by the dozens of faces that suddenly turned in front of her, so she had to turn her head away.

The one who spoke was right behind her. It was a tall and handsome young man, with an unconcealed spirit on his not very old face, and the uniform of the reserve was more energetic than others when he wore it.

Shi Lao, who was in charge of announcing the matter, was a little overwhelmed on his face, coughed twice, and then said, "Yan Zheng, what is your opinion?" ”

Yu Moji had already turned his head back, and when he heard Shi Lao's words, he realized that this was the weird person Ling Ai had said. However, probably because she usually only cares about looking at the ground when she walks, she has no impression of Yan Zheng's face. It had been several months since she entered the Cardinal's House, and this was probably the first time she had met the famous genius boy Yan Zheng.

But why did Yan Zheng oppose this decision? With his assessment results that are forever hanging on the red list, he doesn't have to worry about his fate at all.

I only heard Yan Zheng reply unhurriedly, "Not all reserves have the ability to go to the battlefield. ”

Shi Lao breathed a sigh of relief, "We designed this actual combat training precisely to train more reserve ...... that are still not up to standard."

"This seems to be contrary to the original intention of the Cardinal to have a reserve." Yan Zheng didn't leave any face for the old gentleman, and interrupted him bluntly, "The newcomers admitted to the hospital come from all over the country, and even if some people have great potential, they probably haven't received proper training. The purpose of setting up the reserve is to ensure a fair selection of talents suitable for the various ministries of the Cardinals, isn't it? ”

Shi Lao smiled bitterly, "You understand it very well. ”

"In other words, everything is still difficult to determine until the graduation ceremony." When Yan Zheng spoke, there was a fearless and fearless momentum unique to young people, and a little bit of the laziness common to rich people, "So I think that at this time, it is not appropriate to send a reserve force with a slightly insufficient performance to a dangerous battlefield." ”

Shi Lao thought for a while, shook his robe for a long time, and said, "What you said naturally makes sense, before the graduation ceremony, everyone should be given more opportunities to prove themselves." This combat training is also to give more opportunities to the reserves that fail to meet the standards, so as to prevent the Cardinal from missing out on real talent ......"

"That is, the Cardinal is not yet sure whether these people who fail to meet the standards really have enough strength." Yan Zheng said slowly, "In this case, the results of these people going to the battlefield are also unknown. Judging from the results of the assessment, the chance of dying is even greater, isn't it? ”

Shi Lao scolded him so much that he couldn't speak for a while, and the reservists below were in an uproar. Yu Moji is even more of a lawsuit. When she heard what Yan Zheng said before, she thought that Yan Zheng was emphasizing that everyone is equal, and she shouldn't use the method of survival of the fittest so rudely to call the worse people to die in advance; Unexpectedly, this guy simply looked down on her for such an incompetent contemporary.

Yan Zheng didn't give Shi Lao much room to react, but took advantage of the victory to pursue and clearly gave his opinion, "I think that the reserves who won the assessment should go to the battlefield to participate in actual combat training and try to see if they really have the ability." This method would provide a more effective reference for the Cardinal than to send the indiscriminate men to the battlefield to die. ”

"Yan Zheng is right," another reserve spoke, "I also think that this matter should be more than capable of sending someone who has the ability to rush to the top of the list." ”

Yu Moji turned his head to look at the person who spoke, and couldn't help but be stunned. She knew this man well, because they had been on duty together. But she clearly remembered that this guy seemed to have very mediocre qualifications, and in the previous assessments, he often took turns with her to be at the bottom. Yan Zheng himself is a powerful person, and his words can be called loud, but this reserve is different, he jumped out to support Yan Zheng, which is really suspicious, he is just to keep himself in the imperial capital and save a small life.

Yu Moji couldn't help but touch his face, feeling as if his skin would never grow that thick.

She had been lobbied by Ling Ai and Jin Niang for two rounds before, and she knew that she was going to the battlefield anyway, so she didn't think about how strong the desire of others to survive was—before her hand was lowered from her face, the voices in her ears supporting Yan Zheng came out one after another.

Yu Moji: "......"

Is it really okay to be a deserter so openly? Besides, there don't seem to be so many poor students in her impression.

Yu Mojin looked around blankly, and found that there were many children of powerful people who supported Yan Zheng with mediocre grades but good backgrounds. These people have the power of their families anyway, and they don't care about this decision. They supported Yan Zheng, perhaps for the prestige of Yan Zheng himself, or for the forces represented by Yan Zheng, which was not something that Yu Moji could guess. Anyway, with the enthusiastic support of the children of the powerful and powerful and the poor students who were eager to survive, Yan Zheng's proposal was overwhelmingly supported. In the end, only a handful of people who rushed to the top of the list based on their own excellent performance unfortunately became the targets of the blow, but their voices of resistance were drowned out in waves of support.

Yu Mojian felt very sorry for these new victims. She couldn't help but glance at the dazed Shi Lao on the stage. This old man, who had developed the "Xuantian Blazing Sun", didn't know if he was intimidated by the power of Yan Zheng's family, and he couldn't even control these hundreds of reserves, and he had already lost his deterrent power as a teacher and a superior commander, which looked quite pitiful.

Unexpectedly, Yan Zheng seemed to think of one thing with Yu Moji. Before the situation was completely out of control, he waved his hand to suppress a voice of support, and said loudly, "Although some people have the ability to win the assessment, they don't believe that they can survive on the battlefield, and such people also don't have the ability that a warrior should have. Therefore, I believe that the Cardinal Council can of course be responsible for the assessment and selection, but whether or not to participate in actual combat training should be completely voluntary. That's my opinion, and I would like to ask you gentlemen who haven't been on the battlefield for a long time—" He looked at Shi Lao, who was trembling with anger but not saying a word on the stage, with a domineering gaze, "Consider it a lot." ”
