Chapter 2244 Another Truth 5.0

Although Xue Ruitian vowed that there would be a smart person who would break the deadlock, unfortunately, it did not happen as he wished. No one was willing to break the deadlock, so until the end of the entire exercise and until everyone was exhausted, the smart person did not show up.

Hearing the drumbeat for disbanding and watching the soldiers on the parade ground retreat in an orderly manner, Xue Ruitian shook his head helplessly and looked at the generals on his left and right. The expressions on their faces were not particularly good either.

"Isn't this a bit unreasonable?" Xue Ruitian couldn't figure out what went wrong. He looked at Jin Jing beside him, and then at Yan Rong who came over. "Old Yan, what do you think?"

"It seems unreasonable to us, but they think it is very reasonable." Yan Rong patted Xue Ruitian on the shoulder and comforted him, "Brothers all think that now is the time to prepare for war, so everyone's mind is on high alert and they dare not make even the slightest mistake, for fear of dragging down others, for fear of bringing shame to their own camp due to their own carelessness."

"Yeah, it's okay to embarrass yourself and be punished, but it would not be good if your fellow soldiers were implicated because of your own problems." Wei Zixin also came over and whispered, "Besides, not many people passed the recruitment this time, which also put a lot of pressure on them. They are afraid that if they don't perform well, they will be kicked out of the Shen family army like those guys in the recruit camp."

"Where did these rumors come from?" Xue Ruitian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Yan Rong, Wei Zixin, and the other generals. After thinking for a while, he said, "Go back and tell the deputy generals and captains below to comfort the brothers. It's not good to be so tense and always worry about whether you will be eliminated."

"I see." Lu Shengyuan sighed, "I've said it several times before, but they just ignored it and didn't take it seriously. Now that you've said it, they know how wrong they were."

“They think they are right not to make mistakes, but in fact, this is a big mistake.”

"That's right." Xue Ruitian nodded. "No one is perfect. How can they not slack off a little? How can they not make mistakes? What we hope to see is that after they make mistakes, they can quickly adjust, quickly find out the gaps and make up for their mistakes. If they are always like this during the training, they will not even be able to respond flexibly if something unexpected happens on the battlefield in the future."

"Yes, we'll tell them when we get back." Yan Rong and Lu Shengyuan looked at each other. "It's strange. These are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. How could they not have this idea at all? Could it be..."

"It should be because we have been too strict during this period, so they have been under too much pressure and dare not make any mistakes. Even if some smart people understand our intentions, they dare not be particularly careless without our explicit instructions." Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha who were leaving the starting platform with Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu, "How about giving everyone a day off tomorrow to relax?"

"I agree." Wei Zixin was standing behind Xue Ruitian. When he heard his proposal, he was the first to agree. "These days, the brothers have indeed had a hard time. Nothing has happened yet, but everyone is so nervous. If the fight really starts, don't completely collapse."

"That's true." Lu Shengyuan nodded and patted Xue Ruitian on the shoulder. "Don't worry. We have seen all kinds of storms. With a little adjustment, we will be able to return to normal soon. Don't worry."

Before Xue Ruitian could say anything, he heard footsteps behind him. Everyone looked back at the same time and saw Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu coming up. Everyone saluted.

"Except for the normal duty, the others will have a holiday starting from this afternoon. No training will be arranged tomorrow, and we will start again the day after tomorrow." Shen Cha looked at the generals, "I think you have also seen the problem. Go back and have a good chat with everyone. Let everyone adjust and not be so nervous. Even if there is any problem, we will not eat anyone."

After hearing Shen Cha's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh and agreed with her proposal. "Marshal, do you have any other instructions?" Lu Shengyuan looked at Shen Haolin, "They..."

"What the general said is exactly what I wanted to say." Shen Haolin looked at everyone and said, "We are pushing too hard. This string can easily break. How to adjust it is up to you. You guys decide the scale, okay?"

"Yes, Marshal!"

Lu Shengyuan winked at the others, saluted to Shen Haolin and others, and left the podium first.

Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu originally wanted to follow, but were pulled back by Shen Cha one by one.

"Sister?" Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu looked at each other, not quite understanding why she was being dragged. "What's the matter?"

"You two go back and wash up, change your clothes, and go to dinner with us later." Jin Jing walked over, put her arms around their shoulders, and whispered in their ears, "Qi Zhifeng and Xiao Fengqi are here to accompany the Third Master. Don't you two want to meet them?"

"Xiao Fengqi?" Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu exchanged glances. "Meet him. We must meet him!"

"We have something important to do now, so don't think about teasing him. Once we're done, you can do whatever you want to him, okay?" Shen Cha took out his handkerchief, wiped the sweat off their foreheads, pushed them, and said, "Go wash up, change your clothes, and come to the big tent to find us later."

"Okay!" The two of them responded and ran down the stage happily, thinking quietly as they ran, "Although my sister doesn't allow us to tease him, we can still play some harmless jokes, right? The kind that won't cause any real harm, how about that?"

"Adapt to circumstances." Xia Jiu lowered his voice. "I don't know why this guy suddenly came here. Who knows if he has any conspiracy. Let's observe first and then make a decision."

"Okay." Shen Jiu turned around and looked in the direction of the command platform. Seeing that Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Jin Jing had all come down from there, he sighed softly, "If Xiao Fengqi behaves himself and doesn't make trouble, we won't have to deal with him and cause trouble for my brother and sister. Since the Green Lotus Sect's affairs were exposed, they have had a hard time every day. On the one hand, they have to take care of Wanyan Xi's seizure of the throne, and on the other hand, they have to investigate the Green Lotus Sect's affairs. The pressure is very great."

"Indeed." Xia Jiu sighed softly, "Then let's see if Xiao Fengqi has any shame. If he doesn't, we'll teach him a lesson and make him behave himself."

"make a deal!"
