Chapter 92: Made it to Number One.

Chapter 92

“Your Majesty, since ancient times there have been cases of people going to war in place of their fathers. Now, I, having a lowly position, am willing to go to war in place of my uncle. I earnestly ask that Your Majesty grant me permission.”

“This is simply nonsense. Since Daye was founded as a nation, there has never been a case of a young lady going to the battlefield," one of the ministers said in disagreement.

“Your excellency, just because there were no such cases in the past does not mean there will be none in the future. Moreover, Daye does not explicitly prohibit women from going to the battlefield."

"You!"

"Little Hua, on the battlefield, swords and spears are merciless. It's not like your usual one-on-one fights," Lord Li anxiously said.

“Your excellency, my mind is set, no need to dissuade me further.”

“Deputy Marshal Qin, what are your thoughts on this?” asked King Ye, who sat in the seat of honor.

“In response, Your Majesty, I support the royal guard general’s proposal.”

“Since this is the case, Royal Guard General shall go to war in place of her uncle. The rewards promised shall remain unchanged, Li Zichen will resume his original post."

"Minister Lin, do you have any opinion on this?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

After the court session:

“Qin Chuyuan, thank you for speaking up for me in the main hall just now.”

“Because I know I can't stop you. When do you plan to set off?”

“At the first light tomorrow. There are still some things I haven't taken care of. Right, there are some things I'd like to ask you to help me with.”

“Don't worry. I will send people to keep an eye on the Gong family."

“Great, thanks a lot!”

“It’s nothing. It is because of me that you got involved in this.”

After all, he played a role in pushing for the marriage arrangement awarded by the holy emperor.

However, it would be a long time before Gong Xiaohua learned the truth. By then, what awaited Qin Chuyuan were months of cold violence.

"The holy emperor arranged the marriage, if there's anyone to blame, it can only be myself for being too weak."

“The Lin family will definitely set traps against you on the battlefield. Be very careful.”

“Got it. I'm leaving first then.”

“Wait.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Mother knew that you’ve returned to the capital and asked when you’d be back to the Qin’s. You know she doesn’t know about the agreement we had privately.”

“Let’s talk about it after I return from the battlefield. You can explain it to my aunt yourself.”

“Dare not. Please wait.” One of the guards entered the tent to report.

Soon they were granted permission to enter the tent.

Inside was only one man, very tall and burly. He ate big chunks of meat and drank big gulps of wine, completely undisturbed by the miserable scene outside.

As soon as the guide soldier entered, he walked over to the man and whispered something in his ear.

Don’t know what he said, but it made the burly man glance at Gong Xiaohua frequently.

“Commander Gong, this is the captain of the stormtrooper battalion. He will assign you to a squad later. I shall take my leave now that my job is done.”

“Thank you for your work. Might I ask if soldier Li Zichen mentioned in the letter has been reassigned by the general?”

“Of course.”

“Before his reassignment, may I request a meeting with him?”

“Bastard, how dare you question the general’s arrangements?” The captain beside interrupted angrily.

“Someone come!”

“Yes sir!”

“Take her to stormtrooper team one.”

“Roger that!”

“You, follow me.” The soldier said to Gong Xiaohua.

Looking at the smug captain and the soldier who led her all the way here, Gong Xiaohua could guess their intentions even if she was dim-witted.

They probably never intended to transfer back her little uncle to begin with. Oh well, the whole army was under their control. Pushing the matter would not benefit her. The priority now was to find little uncle first.

Following the soldier, she arrived at team one. The scene here was even more miserable than what she saw earlier.

“Old Wei, here's a new recruit assigned to your team. Help receive her.”

“Coming, coming.” An middle-aged man with an eye-patch came out from the tent. Seeing Gong Xiaohua, he said,

“What is this? How can they assign a woman here? No, no, take her back quickly!”

“This arrangement is from Captain.”

“Captain knows very well that my team is the spearhead in battles! When fighting starts, we'd have to protect this little lady as well? Isn't that deliberately dragging us down?”

“If you have any complaint, go tell Captain yourself. I'm leaving her here. Gotta run.”

“Hey, you..."

Watching as the guard left without even turning his head, Old Wei felt a headache coming as he looked at the woman left behind.

“Go on, tell me, what grave mistake did you make that got you demoted to the notorious suicide squad, which is also the number one suicide squad?”
