Faint to faint, Yeling did not, as Xi Jiuye expected, he would retire automatically after not holding on for long.
After getting tanned all over and growing half a head taller, Ye Ling finally stayed in the barracks.
He doesn't have any supernatural powers, but his mind is as smart as he "bragged" earlier.
Xi Jiuye also discovered that Yeling is quite talented in military affairs, "he" is familiar with many military books, and even some veteran advisers in the strategic battalion are not as good as "he."
"He" can't even stand the most basic horse stance, but he can remember any strategic place he walked through. This kind of talent of "him" allows "he" to stand out in the legion even if he has no supernatural power .
The chief general of the strategic battalion asked for help from the war camp several times, and the chief general also asked Xi Jiuye several times. After all, Xi Jiuye was Yeling's superior.
Xi Jiuye refused several times, and the general seemed to have noticed something, after all, the relationship between Ye Ling and Xi Jiuye seemed to be "good," and they were only short of eating in the same bowl.
In the camp, there were also some rumors about Xi Jiuye and Yeling. Xi Jiuye didn't bother to pay attention to them. The reason why he kept Yeling was indeed selfish, but it wasn't as nasty as others thought.
Yeling is a military prodigy, and Xi Jiuye had discovered this a long time ago.
"He" can make up for his shortcomings, and "he" seems to be rough in handling things, but in fact, when encountering a crisis, "he" is the first to calm down.
With Yeling around, Xi Jiuye's mood would calm down a lot. For more than half a year, he had gotten used to the existence of "him".
Xi Jiuye was very happy that Yeling was able to survive in the barracks, but at the same time he was also a little worried.
With rumors and gossip spreading in the legion, Ye Ling didn't know what was going on, not only didn't shy away from him, but even more shy away from him.
"He" has grown a lot in the past year, but his temperament has not changed a bit, and he is very casual with the people around him.
Coupled with the feminine face of "him", it has already attracted the attention of some masculine generals in the legion.
The chief general of the strategic battalion was one of them, and he repeatedly asked Yeling to go. Apart from liking Yeling's intelligence, he was afraid that the drunkard's intention was not to drink.
This general is extremely cruel. It is said that he eats both men and women. Earlier in the prostitute camp, he played with two military prostitutes to death.
Xi Jiuye didn't want to bring these nasty things to Ye Ling, so he could only make indirect remarks and remind "him" a few times not to get too close to people on weekdays. its accompanying.
But not long after, the accident happened.
On that day, Xi Jiuye went out to patrol, and Yeling stayed in the tent to rest because of his unwell body.
When he returned to the tent, he found that Yeling was not in the tent.
Looking at the empty tent, Xi Jiuye felt cold all over his body.
After he inquired, he heard that Yeling was called away by the people from the strategic battalion.
He rushed to the strategic camp in a frenzy. When he entered, he saw Yeling holding a wine jar, his face flushed from drinking. drunk.
With reddened eyes, he carried Yeling back to the tent and scolded him severely.
"Didn't I tell you not to meet the people in the strategic battalion alone? Can you ignore my words?"
Xi Jiuye ruthlessly poured Yeling a bowl of hangover soup, cursing and congratulating himself.
If something happened to Yeling, what should he do... He was afraid that he would kill the general.
Kill that man... His future, the official career he has worked so hard for for many years, are all over.
Thinking of this, Xi Jiuye glared at Yeling again.
Yeling's little face was blushing, and "he" squinted his eyes, as if they were filled with stars.
"But he threatened me, saying that if I don't go, I'll let you go, and you won't be able to be a soldier for the rest of your life. I want to protect you, Brother Jiuye..."
After all, "he" plopped down on the bed.
Xi Jiuye's eyes were filled with enthusiasm.
He looked down at the unconscious Yeling, feeling a deep pain in his heart.
"Who needs your protection, Yeling, get up for me, I'm Xi Jiuye, who needs your protection..."
Xi Jiuye's voice was a little more choked up.
He bit his lip, and punched the bed bitterly, causing pain in his mouth.
With his head down, he sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Yeling on the bed.
After a while, he lowered his head, and his forehead lightly touched the young man's smooth forehead.
"Don't be so stupid in the future. To protect someone, you have to become stronger. You are so weak, how can you protect me. So, let me protect you."
That year, Yeling was fourteen years old and Xi Jiuye was seventeen years old.
"He" kept saying that he would protect him, just like when he was a child.
For the first time, he had the idea of protecting a person.
After that night, Xi Jiuye became even more ruthless.
He has been out on patrol for longer, and Yeling often waits alone in the tent until dark.
Several times, she was awakened by the smell of blood.
Xi Jiuye came back with an injury, and she bandaged him for the pain all over his body.
He continued to accumulate military achievements, and finally became a general at the age of eighteen, and he was also the youngest general in the army. No one dared to summon Ye Ling easily, and Ye Ling was also promoted from a clerk to a deputy general. , and also Xi Jiuye's right arm and right arm.
In the legion, the rumors about the two gradually subsided.
Xi Jiuye and Yeling were tacitly aware that if that incident hadn't happened, they would have continued like this forever.
In that year, there were still constant disputes between the two races.
The demon ancestors of the demon clan fell for several years, and the demon world was divided into two parts.
The monster race is rampant and offends the God Realm.
Many places on the border of the God Realm were attacked by unknown monster clans.
At that time, Xi Jiuye had already become a well-known young general in the God Realm. He was ordered by the military department to go out for inspection, and happened to encounter a group of monsters attacking an ancient village.
On that day, Yeling felt a little "unwell," and did not go out on patrol with Xi Jiuye.
It was said that she was unwell, but the real reason was that the Yin-Yang Pill on Ye Lingyue's body was almost exhausted. Since she was a child, she didn't like medical skills and didn't know how to use pills. She relied on Yin-Yang Pills to cover her identity.
She is already fifteen years old, and she can no longer hide the characteristics of a woman on her body.
On this day, it was also the first time that she came to a monthly letter. Her stomach was in pain, and she was hesitating whether to write a letter back to Bahuang. She wanted to ask for some pills from her mother, but at the same time, she was worried that she would be rejected. Mother's father found his trail, and something happened.
After thinking about it, Ye Lingyue decided to confess her identity to Xi Jiuye.
After all these years of getting along, she firmly believed that Xi Jiuye was not merciless to her. She had been away from home for several years, and it was time for her to go home and visit her parents.
