Chapter 349: Unable to Stand the Test
"Impossible." Zhang Mingxin disagreed. "For something like this, any Du Yuhou or battalion commander can just come up with one."

How could it be his turn?

Not to mention that it is not his turn as Deputy Commander Zhang to take the blame for this matter. Given his loyalty to Commander An and his ability to do things, Commander An will not and cannot push him out.

Seeing Zhang Mingxin so confident, Lu Qiyan laughed, "I thought I was ignorant, but I never thought that Deputy Commander Zhang was as naive as me."

Seeing Zhang Mingxin's puzzled expression, Lu Qiyan continued, "I used to think the same as Deputy Commander Zhang, but after I really encountered something, I realized that the thing in the world that cannot withstand the test the most is the human heart."

"When this person is in an emergency, he will not consider anything else. The only thing he thinks of is self-protection. He will do anything to protect himself."

Hearing this, Zhang Mingxin's expression became serious.

This is true. In a critical moment, it is usually best to protect yourself.

It seems like a subconscious behavior. At that time, I really won’t think too much about it.

It was just like when he was on the battlefield and encountered danger, he would just pull someone over to block the sword or the knife, not caring at all whether the person being pulled over was an enemy or a friend, or whether he was his brother who had been through life and death with him.

It seemed as if none of that mattered, what mattered was that he could survive.

Since he could do such a thing, Zhang Mingxin had reason to believe that others would do the same.

Especially An Jingzhong, who always does his own thing and doesn't care about others.

When Zhang Mingxin thought of this, a trace of visible panic flashed across his face.

Lu Qiyan caught this detail and spoke more earnestly, "Deputy Commander Zhang is a real person. I want to tell you something from the heart. In many cases, you still have to think about yourself."

"If this matter is not a big deal, it would be fine to just push someone out. But if the whole army is filled with indignation, the public will definitely take action against people with higher positions. At that time..."

Lu Qiyan didn't finish his words, he just reached out and patted Zhang Mingxin on the shoulder.

Zhang Mingxin already had a worried look on his face. He felt at this moment that the slap was as heavy as a thousand pounds. It was so heavy that his shoulders could not bear it and he could hardly stand.

"Deputy Commander Zhang, you'd better think carefully about what I said. If you are really unsure and willing to discuss it with me, you can come find me."

"There is only one thing..."

Lu Qiyan lowered his voice and said, "The commander of the wing entrusted me with this matter in private. Deputy Commander Zhang must not spread the news to others, and do not test the commander of the wing's intentions in front of him, otherwise it will be really troublesome."

"Even if Commander Lu doesn't tell me, I know how to do it. Commander Lu, don't worry."

Deputy Commander Zhang bowed to Lu Qiyan and said, "Thank you for your advice, Commander Lu. I know what to do next. But if I encounter any difficulties, I will probably have to trouble Commander Lu for more help."

"Of course, of course." Lu Qiyan returned the greetings repeatedly. "I have not been in the army for long. Although I have been favored by the commander of the Xiang Army and the commander of the Zhuo Army, my foundation is quite shallow and I am weak. It will be difficult for me to develop in the future. I still need more advice from Deputy Commander Zhang."

"No problem." Zhang Mingxin curled his lips.

Just say it, why is Lu Qiyan so kind and considers him so much? In the end, he just has some ulterior motive and wants to sell him out.

Zhang Mingxin had a clue in his mind and was more concerned about the military supplies and medicinal materials, so he said no more to Lu Qiyan and said goodbye.

Watching Zhang Mingxin go away, Lu Qiyan narrowed his eyes.

Hopefully some people won't let him down.
-
Because of Lu Qiyan's return last night, Xia Mingyue did not sleep well and woke up half an hour later than usual. After getting up, she drank a bowl of dumpling soup made from Jiangzhu fruit.

The dough balls are small and evenly beaten, each one is soft and smooth to eat, and the pot is seasoned with tomatoes and chopped beans as garnish. It tastes sweet and sour and extremely fragrant.

It was still cool in the morning and the dumpling soup tasted good. Xia Mingyue drank a bowl and a half before putting the bowl down.

After packing up, Xia Mingyue went to look for Yin Lingyou.

When Yin Lingyou saw Xia Mingyue coming, his eyes suddenly brightened up, but when he saw that Xia Mingyue had nothing in her hands, his face suddenly drooped.

"I thought you were giving me some compensation for your husband pulling me out of bed in the middle of the night, but I never thought you didn't even bring me any food."

This couple is really annoying.

Seeing Yin Lingyou's angry look, Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "Not only did he not bring any food, he even planned to take some things away from Doctor Yin."

Not only are you not giving me food, but you're also planning on taking things away?

Please note that if it is taking, it means you will definitely not give money!

That’s even more infuriating!

Yin Lingyou's beard was blown up immediately, his eyes were wide as copper bells, and he gritted his teeth, "You are really not from the same family, and you are not from the same family. I really have to admit that you two are inferior!"

"Doctor Yin, don't be so angry. I came to you today to get some things so that I can make some new food." Xia Mingyue laughed.

New food?
Yin Lingyou's anger disappeared in an instant, and he smiled. "Madam Xia, what kind of food are you going to make? How about I help you taste the food after it's ready?"

"Even if Doctor Yin doesn't tell me, I will still ask Doctor Yin to taste the first bite first." Xia Mingyue said with a smile, "Just let me keep it a secret for now as to what kind of food it is going to be. When the new food is delivered, Doctor Yin will know."

also.

Yin Lingyou stroked his beard.

In this way, there will be a sense of surprise and a stronger sense of anticipation.

The first nod was as quick as a chick pecking at rice. Yin Lingyou did not let Mao Sanli do it for him. He personally took Xia Mingyue to the house where the medicinal herbs were stored to choose what she wanted.

The house where medicinal materials are stored is in the east wing.

In order to ensure that the medicinal materials are properly stored and at an appropriate temperature, Yin Lingyou specially renovated the east wing, making it look newer, cooler and drier.

Xia Mingyue had been to Yin Lingyou's house many times, but this was the first time she stepped into the east wing.

As soon as she stepped in, the scene before her made Xia Mingyue open her mouth wide.

There are rows of five-story shelves neatly arranged inside, and wooden boxes neatly placed on the shelves. Each wooden box has a label neatly attached, indicating the name, quantity, quality grade, time of placement and other information of the medicinal materials stored in the box.

Incredibly detailed.

Xia Mingyue took a look at the not-so-spacious but neatly organized storage of medicinal materials, then glanced at Yin Lingyou standing next to her, feeling deeply moved.
