Chapter 1144 - 1144 49 Meng Shuai Joins the Army 5【3-in-1】

Chapter 1144: Chapter 49 Meng Shuai Joins the Army 5【3-in-1】 Chapter 1144: Chapter 49 Meng Shuai Joins the Army 5【3-in-1】 Early the next morning, Meng Fang got up and hurried to the morning court session.

Well, to be honest, he hadn’t gotten much sleep the previous night, having been tormented by the palace’s etiquette officials all night long.

He was manipulated into learning various postures and had every tiny fault picked at—this wasn’t right, that wasn’t right; there was scarcely anything they saw fit!

Meng Fang, a man of humble village origins, had truly never imagined that so much attention to detail was required for an audience with the monarch.

Fortunately, he now also had considerable cultivation, so going without rest for one night was nothing concerning.

At this moment, he had already taken his place quietly before the great hall, silently waiting.

But before him, many military generals had already arrived and were waiting here even earlier.

“Is this General Meng Fang?”

“Indeed, it is I. May I ask…”

“I am Bai Fu!”

“I am Wang Jian!”

“I am Qin Yue!”

“I am Fei Shen!”

“I am Ma Tian!”

“I am Wu Yun!”

“…”

Meng Fang greeted each of them in turn, offering his respects.

But when he heard the name ‘Fei Shen,’ he couldn’t help but display a strange expression on his face for a moment.

From this name alone, he might have guessed that this was indeed the master of the Fei Family.

But… To be the Patriarch of the Fei Family and to have such a name was truly… particularly fitting!

With such a family, where each and every one of them speaks as though flowers fall from their lips—it seems even if he didn’t want to overexert his mind, it would not be possible!

“Meng Fang, a humble junior, greets the esteemed elders!”

Meng Fang activated all of his wits, trying hard to remember the names and faces before him.

Not a single one of these people was ordinary; if he were to mistakenly recognize someone next time, that would be a grave offense indeed!

Yet each of these generals was very warm towards Meng Fang.

One slapped his shoulder, another punched him in the chest; their manners did not, in the slightest, consider him an outsider.

Most of them, accustomed to the camaraderie of military life, became quite familiar with him in a very short time, creating an extraordinary harmonious atmosphere.

General Fei Shen stepped forward and patted Meng Fang on the shoulder: “Young man, your spirit and energy aren’t bad, but your martial cultivation is a bit weak. You need to put in more effort from now on!”

Meng Fang gave a bitter smile: “Indeed.”

How could it not be weak? A rustic fellow like him started too late, almost from zero foundation. Despite three years of battling for life and death, honing his skills to the present, he has only reached the pinnacle of Innate cultivation and is still one step away from Human-Level.

Not to mention the higher Earth Level and Heavenly Level…

And these old fellows before him, each had high-level cultivation; they could likely blow him away with a single breath, with no discount whatsoever.

“You did indeed start a little late,”

Wang Jian said with some emotion, “But never mind, a commander should not rely solely on bravery and fierceness; commanding troops is the primary element.”

“The old general speaks true.”

“Speaking of which, you used to be under Xinyu’s command. You must have suffered quite a bit from him, right?” Fei Shen asked with a smile.

“Not at all, Commander Fei is usually quite amiable towards me.”

“Amiable?”

A few elders burst into laughter: “Even if you want to save your old superior’s face, you shouldn’t say such against-the-heart things. We are very aware of that rascal’s character.”

Meng Fang paused, saying, “Commander Fei may be a bit rough with others, but towards me, he truly hasn’t been too much… In daily interactions, he hardly ever curses. I’m inclined to think the rumors about Commander Fei’s foul mouth are greatly exaggerated.”

“???”

Hearing Meng Fang’s words, the group of old generals looked at each other, confused.

Who was Fei Xinyu? The direct descendant of the Fei Family’s famed sharp tongue, a self-taught master of the craft of cursing, unparalleled and unmatched in the world.

A well-known trait that, except when addressing his own father and a cohort of esteemed military patriarchs, those who conversed with him were never spared from his vulgar mouth—it was daily routine, as common as meals, always at the tip of his tongue. So how could it be that with this young man, it seemed as casual as with any rough soldier in the army?

Yet this lad spoke with such sincerity; it didn’t seem like he was lying?

But… Could it be possible?

That Fei Xinyu, akin to a cesspool… could actually refrain from cursing?

Not hearing foul language?

Has the sun risen from the west?

Impossible, it’s absolutely impossible!

Right at that moment, a brawny figure stepped out from the crowd, looking at Meng Fang with a twisted neck and a ferocious grin: “You son of a bitch, it’s about time you showed up… It’s because of you, this bastard, that I have suffered untold humiliations and endured endless scoldings. When I return to Xianyang, there’s no way I’m letting you off easy, you bastard!”

The speaker was none other than Ma Qiange!

His gaze upon Meng Fang was indeed filled with resentment, hmmm… even a bit of bitterness!

Just because this kid got a wife, in this period, Ma Qiange, Wu Tiejun, and Fei Xinyu suffered the relentless barraging of these old fellows—truly a pitiable sight to behold, bringing tears to one’s eyes and grief to the heart!

Now, upon seeing the chief culprit, how could he not feel a belly full of fire?

Meng Fang naturally recognized Ma Qiange, and upon hearing his words, couldn’t help but show a look of astonishment: “What do you mean by this, Brother Ma? I don’t recall having offended you.”

“Not offended me? You still dare say you haven’t offended me?”

Ma Qiange’s anger seemed to erupt: “In this whole world, it’s you, you little shit, who have offended me the most severely! Let me tell you, I will never share the sky with you!”

Meng Fang grew even more confused, and just as he was about to explain, he saw Ma Qiange already charging forward to grab his collar, angrily saying: “If you don’t drink with me for a hundred nights, I’ll never acknowledge you as a brother again!”
