Chapter 1148: Chapter 49 Meng Shuai’s Military Record 5 [3-in-1]_5 Chapter 1148: Chapter 49 Meng Shuai’s Military Record 5 [3-in-1]_5 “Suitable!”

“…”

After Wang Jian was left speechless, he became furious, “Why don’t you take my chair then?”

“Sure!”

“Get out!”

General Wang Jian, in a sudden burst of rage, physically threw the newly promoted general out of the military department’s main gate.

Ma Qiange and a few other guys, who were chatting at the entrance, watched with their own eyes as General Meng was tossed out by the old general, who even viciously kicked Meng Fang’s butt for good measure.

With a clang, the military department’s main gate shut tight.

A loud thud followed.

Meng Fang hit a roadside tree and bounced back.

He landed in front of Ma Qiange, utterly disheveled.

Ma Qiange’s mouth twitched, trying to hold back laughter.

“What on earth did you do to piss off the old man so much that he flew into such a rage?”

Meng Fang, looking utterly dejected, said, “I pleaded for posthumous recognition for the brothers who died in battle. The old general offered me his seat, and I accepted… then I got thumped right out.”

Scratching his head, uncertain, he added, “Maybe he was afraid I’d take his spot?”

“God damn afraid you’d take his spot!”

Ma Qiange was impressed.

Ignorance is bliss.

You can really throw your weight around.

“Alright, let’s go drink.”

Ma Qiange sighed, unable to help reminiscing about his comrades who had died in battle.

It was certain now, with Meng Fang’s tumble, that his fallen brothers would be promoted posthumously by an additional rank.

That’s because, being a high-ranking general and having been humiliatingly thrown out of the military headquarters and kicked flying,

that was Meng Fang’s disgrace.

In other words, Meng Fang had traded his own dignity for a boost in posthumous recognition! And Meng Fang, himself, didn’t even realize it.

Ma Qiange couldn’t help wondering: if he had thrown his dignity to the wind back then,

Why is it that among so many generals in the Great Qin, only Fei Xinyu and Wu Tiejun could secure the greatest benefits for their subordinates?

Because one is shameless and the other, stubborn.

If you don’t give in, I’ll be utterly shameless and stubbornly persistent!

Though they had a terrible reputation in court, ask any of the Qin Army’s officers, who wouldn’t want to follow these two?

Almost none!

You can trample on my dignity.

But you can’t undermine my brothers’ benefits!

And now, Meng Fang was another who could do the same!

Ma Qiange knew clearly, with this fall, Meng Fang’s status had utterly surpassed his own!

Thinking of himself, Ma Qiange sighed again.

I’m not up to it.

Out there, I might appear formidable, but in front of these old timers, they just have to glare, and I can’t get my words out.

Scared from when I was a kid…

Throwing a tantrum in front of them? I wouldn’t even dare to think about it.

“I envy you.” Ma Qiange patted Meng Fang on the shoulder.

“Huh?” Meng Fang was confused.

“Never mind, let’s go drink!”

“I still need to go home and be with my wife…”

“Could you stop mentioning your wife?” Ma Qiange was frustrated. Because of your wife, I’ve been beaten up and scolded so much lately!

And you bring her up again?

Meng Fang said, “Drinking can happen anytime, but time with my wife is limited. I’m about to head back to the battlefield, so I’d rather go home and be with my wife.”

Ma Qiange was speechless, “There are so many comrades in the Capital City waiting for you, and you’re still not giving face?”

“Giving face…but can you guys live my life with me?”

That one sentence completely defeated Ma Qiange.

“Damn it!”

“I’ve heard endlessly about you wanting to ‘live a life,’ and seeing you today, it’s really the case!”

“Don’t you live a life too?” Meng Fang curiously asked.

Ma Qiange, speechless, said, “Meng Fang, you’re a high-ranking general now, surely one of the top few in our military. Are you telling me you venture into life-threatening situations and aim to unite the world just to spend life with your wife?”

Meng Fang said, “Yes.”

So blunt.

Seeing the proud and unwavering Meng Fang, Ma Qiange was utterly defeated.

Beside them, a general said, “How about we go drink at General Meng’s mansion?”

“Ah… that could work, Meng Fang, if you won’t come drink with us, can I come drink with you then?” Ma Qiange said.

Meng Fang, looking helpless, “…that… I need to discuss it with my lady first…”

In his mind, if they were drinking at home, his wife would have to cook.

Whether Rou Er would mind working a bit?

That needed asking.

Ma Qiange was exasperated, “You need to ask about that?”

“Never mind, never mind, anyway, I’m going to drink with you now.”

Meng Fang, could only lead the way, resignedly.

“Everyone should just go home to their wives…”

“Damn you, if you mention ‘wife’ again, I’m going to lose it!”

Ma Qiange lost his temper.

“Who has time for you when they have a wife!”

Ma Qiange felt like he’d sustained an internal injury.

Meng Fang suddenly looked shocked, “You… you don’t even have a wife??”

That look in his eyes was like he had discovered a new continent.

A rare species!

Ma Qiange glowered.

Other generals, too, suddenly became fierce.

Their eyes changed!

Damn, that was a low blow!

If they didn’t drink Meng Fang under the table tonight, they wouldn’t be able to vent their anger!

…

The Qin Emperor returned to the palace.

The more he thought about it, the stranger he felt about Meng Fang’s lucky streak.

Because such things just don’t happen.

So he sent Shi Hongzhen, the chief steward, to report to the ancestor.

When Qing Ming the Great heard, he immediately denied, “Impossible!”

Shi Hongzhen smiled wryly, “This servant has felt it… and, His Majesty also used the Jade Seal to test, and indeed it’s true!”

“Oh?”

Qing Ming the Grand became interested.

“Really?”

“Absolutely certain!”

Qing Ming the Grand thought for a moment and said, “Well, have him come to the Dark Division tomorrow, tell him I want to meet him.”

“Okay.”

Shi Hongzhen was relieved and said, “It’s really good that you will intervene, nothing can escape your discerning eye.”

Qing Ming the Grand said, “Even if it’s not true, I want to meet him anyway. After all, this fellow’s cultivation is too low, it’s way too easy for him to get knocked off in the army. We have to enhance his ability. Otherwise, if the commander of the Great Qin is so weak… wouldn’t people laugh at us?”

“That’s true.”

Shi Hongzhen said, “Then it’s settled, I will bring Meng Fang here tomorrow morning? Or do you think His Majesty should come too?”
