Li Ruo looked around and did not see Xuanyuan Mo. She guessed that he had gone to the training grounds, and then she started walking towards that direction, not forgetting to walk to the kitchen to get a steamed bun.
Today was already the last day of the selection. The number of people on the training field had clearly decreased by a lot. It was easy to imagine just how many had been eliminated in the previous selection.
Li Ruo tore off a piece of mantou and threw it into her mouth. What surprised her was that it wasn't just General Li, even the other generals under Xuanyuan Mo's command were also participating in the selection.
At this moment, the training grounds was in the midst of a breakdown. They were entering a quagmire and traversing through brambles. They were traversing five kilometers across the wilderness … And so on and so forth a series of selections, all according to the route and selection method that she had previously planned out, it seemed to be very modern.
Xuanyuan Mo had not taken the initiative to greet Liruo since long ago when he saw her coming over. His eyes were always on Liruo from time to time, but it was clear that Liruo was not interested in him, Xuanyuan Mo.
Helpless, Xuanyuan Mo could only move.
"Have you recovered? Why did you come out?" He was clearly concerned about Ye Xiao's words, but it added a bit of disgust to what he said.
Liruo frowned slightly, seemingly angry at Xuanyuan Mo's impolite way of speaking. Or perhaps, it was because Xuanyuan Mo had disturbed her interest in watching the match.
"You woman." Xuanyuan Mo laughed in extreme anger. How could he fall for such a woman? Was there something wrong with his eyes?
"How many are left now?" She didn't want to continue flirting with Xuanyuan Mo so she changed the topic.
"Less than five thousand." Xuanyuan Mo opened the notebook in his hands and handed it over to Li Ruo and Li Zhou.
"There are so many more?" Li Ruo took it and looked at it carefully. Hearing this, Xuanyuan Mo almost fell to the ground standing there. Of course, this was because he was angry at Li Ruo.
He thought that it was a shame for the elite soldiers of his 50,000-strong army to be eliminated to only 5000 in just 3 days, but how weak was he in her heart? No, how weak he was.
"Pah!" Zhuo Ruo threw the book directly to Xuanyuan Mo and walked aggressively towards the training field. Could it be that her selection criteria were too simple? Why else would there be so many people? How could there still be so many people?
"What are you going to do?" Xuanyuan Mo's expression turned cold and only then did Li Ruo's injuries improve slightly. He was worried that Li Ruo's injuries would be affected if she were to demonstrate something after she had passed.
"I'm just going to take a look and not participate!" Li Ruo was too lazy to explain, so she jumped on her horse and quickly disappeared.
She walked around the training ground and was surprised to find that Dazhuang, Yu Yang, and Cheng Ziheng were still there. What was even more surprising was that even Little Zhuang was still there, but there were only a few left. She had already guessed that they would be able to stay, but Little Zhuang …
He didn't have a good martial arts or a tough body. How did he survive this?
It just so happened that right at this moment when they were about to pass through the mud field, Little Zhuang, who was too exhausted, ran towards the finish line. Only the three of them stayed behind and helped Little Zhuang, who had already rolled his eyes, up. When they couldn't get away, a few of them started to carry him on their backs and started running.
She followed him all the way to the finish line, only to discover that the referee didn't declare him eliminated, and the remaining three were eliminated because they had disobeyed his orders.
The three of them were unwilling to accept this, but the military camp was a place where one had to absolutely obey. Thus, they were depressed. When they saw Liruo coming over, these men were actually so wronged that they wanted to cry.
"Princess!" Her voice was choked with sobs, and if Li Ruo noticed that even the stern Cheng Ziheng had his head turned away, she knew that he must also want to cry.
"Princess, this is all my fault. I hope that I can continue to be your subordinate, but I'm useless. Not only did I fail to complete my mission, I've also implicated my brother and the captain." He felt wronged as he spoke. Although this selection was only a short three days, it was like hell on earth for those who did not participate in it. For three whole days, they did not sleep, did not stop, did not even distinguish between day and night. Basically, every second was extremely difficult and arduous, he did not even know how he had endured it, but because he had a belief, a belief that he could not lose face for the princess and had to enter, it continued to support him. So, he endured it. But, seeing that the victory was right in front of him, and he was about to be eliminated for such a reason, he felt really sad. If he was the only one to be eliminated, then he would admit it.
"Princess, can you tell the referee that if they really want to be eliminated, then eliminate me? That's because even though elder brother and the others carried me on their backs, in reality, they had arrived within a set time …"
Dazhuang and the others did not say anything, but he reached out to hug Little Zhuang tightly, touching his head without saying a word.
"Princess!" Seeing that Li Ruo didn't say anything, Little Zhuang became really worried.
Others might not be clear about the princess' ability, but they had all seen it before. If they could enter, they would feel proud and elated, and it would be even more powerful than the tiger camp. But now, there weren't many of the five thousand soldiers left in the tiger camp.
"Who said that you had already been eliminated?" Li Ruo smiled, her beauty unfathomable. She wasn't in the habit of wearing a silk scarf, so she directly reached out her hand to wipe Little Zhuang's tears.
Fortunately, Little Zhuang was seated. Otherwise, with the difference in their height, she would have to jump slightly to be able to touch his face.
"Princess/Madam!" Just as Li Ruo finished speaking, all sorts of voices rang out from the surroundings, including Dazhuang and the others' excited and expectant gazes, as well as some doubtful voices.
"There's no need to explain, and there's no need for you guys to say anything. If I say they're not eliminated, then there's just no such thing!" Liruo continued to wipe away the tears for Little Zhuang. She didn't even frown as her snot landed on her hands. They were both moved and worried for Liruo at the same time.
"Princess, you don't have to do this for us …" This was what Cheng Ziheng had said. What he meant was that there was no need to break everyone's selections for them, and even less so, there was no need to make things difficult for them.
He knew very well that if Li Ruo agreed to their request at this moment, then there would be a huge problem in the following training and discipline.
He was worried that she wouldn't be able to control it.
"I did it for no one!" Liru retracted his hand, straightened up, and glanced around, "I have witnessed everything that just happened!"
"Since the princess has seen everything, why …" The referee didn't understand. Since they had all seen it, then Li Ruo should have been eliminated immediately. Why speak for them?
"I know that you look down on those from the Li Kingdom, but you always feel that the reason they were able to enter this military camp was because of me!" Hearing this, everyone shut their mouths, but there was still a look of disdain on their faces. This was the truth. If it wasn't for the fact that the general liked his wife, how could people with talent like them be qualified to join the army?
"However, have you thought about it? Even if they came because of me, their results today should be enough to explain everything!"
"I believe those who can remain until today are not cowards. You can look back and see how many people there were three days ago, and how many you have left."
"As for them, they are the four remaining people from the 101 people. You all can ask yourselves, exactly what is the difference between them? Compared to them, do you all think that you are truly outstanding?"
"Oh, the strength of the three of them is obvious. I believe I don't have to say much, just take Xiao Zhuang as an example. He was indeed weak just now and fell down, but I want to ask everyone, since we are all in the same team, why can't we help each other when we see our comrades in trouble?"
"That's right, this is the selection. You might feel that if you help others, you might face elimination, which is not worth it. However, I can guarantee that those three did not think of this when they were helping Little Zhuang!"
Liruo's voice was calm, and even though it was a bit louder than before, it was just that her momentum wasn't too great, and her emotions weren't that stirred up.
"What they are thinking about is how to keep Little Zhuang from getting eliminated. What they are thinking about is how to get them all together to the end!" What Li Ruo said surprised many people. They didn't believe that these people would be so magnanimous in such a cruel situation.
"Do you think this is unbelievable?" Liru sneered.
"I believe everyone has heard that the team I need will not have too many people. One hundred people should be enough!"
"I need people who are outstanding in all aspects, not only in abilities, but also in martial arts, as well as in the way of handling matters!"
"In this kind of situation, you can show the character of a person. They might not be the most outstanding amongst you, but they are the most honest, honest and kind!"
I believe that no matter today or in the future, as long as they encounter danger, they will be able to face it together. And what I need is just this kind of person, it doesn't matter if your abilities are weaker, we can slowly train in it, but if there is a problem with your luck, let's see, when we get to the battlefield in the future, do you all plan on splitting up?
So, not only will I not choose to eliminate them, I will also stay behind. I believe that everyone's eyes are still bright, because not only did they arrive within the set time just now, they were even the first ones to arrive while carrying someone on their back.
Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, as if they had just realized their mistake.
