Chapter 859: Suspicion (2)
Xiao Qirui covered his mouth and coughed dryly. His face darkened as he said, "As generals in the army, instead of thinking about how to deal with the enemy, you’re here arguing with a child who hasn’t even gone through puberty. Is this the example you set for your soldiers?"
Song Jinghuan’s words just now were really bold. Xiao Qirui specially mentioned her age and said that they were venting their emotions. Anyone who wasn’t stupid knew that he was biased.
However, so what if they knew? The only person in the army who could be on equal footing with Xiao Qirui was Meng Wu. Since he had already said so, could Meng Wu lower himself to argue with a child?
Moreover, Xiao Qirui clearly wanted to protect the young soldier. If Meng Wu really did that, not only would he lose his composure, but he would also completely expose his ugly side to Xiao Qirui. It would not be worth it.
The five of them looked at each other and gritted their teeth. "I know my mistake."
Only then did Xiao Qirui look at Song Jinghuan. "And you, even if you’re in a bad mood because you saw too many of your colleagues die in battle, you shouldn’t be so loose-lipped. You’re offending your superiors."
"On account of your young age, General Meng isn’t a petty person. I’ll punish you to run five rounds around the training grounds and personally apologize to General Meng." He paused, as if afraid that Song Jinghuan didn’t know how serious the matter was. He asked again, "Do you admit it?"
Sun Hao and the others looked at Xiao Qirui strangely. If not for the fact that they knew that General Xiao was only 22 years old and couldn’t have given birth to a 12-year-old child, they would have thought that Song Jinghuan was his son. However, they had never heard of General Xiao having a youngest son.
