NOVEL WEB Chapter 38
To become a female general, leading a great army and ride across the battlefield!
This had been her wish since she was a child!
For this reason, she preferred military attire over women’s clothing, and from a young age, she practiced horse riding and archery. She also sought out teachers to learn martial arts, all so that one day she could become a general, lead troops into battle, and be a Grand General on the war-torn fields!
Has this kid finally come to his senses and learned to care for his sister?
At this moment, Lin Beifan, seeing that the other party had not responded for a long time, frowned and said, “Don’t you want to? If not, forget it!”
Chai Yuxin became anxious: “Wait! I do want to. I’ve been dreaming of it!”
“Since you want to, why didn’t you respond? I thought you didn’t want to!” Lin Beifan sighed.
“I was just too excited, so I didn’t react right away!” Chai Yuxin said, embarrassed, lowering her head.
“So that’s it. It seems you haven’t changed since you were little!”
Lin Beifan smiled proudly, “Now that I have become the Emperor and command the nation’s troops, I can appoint you as a general! What kind of general do you want to be, and how many troops do you wish to lead? Just speak up! How about starting you off as a third-rank general, commanding a hundred thousand soldiers?”“A third-rank general commanding 100,000 troops!” Chai Yuxin lifted her head in shock.
Lin Beifan frowned, “Is that too many? Well, that might be the case. You’ve just become a general and have no experience in battle, which could make it hard for you to command respect. So, let’s start you off with 10,000 troops instead!”
“No, no, no… I’ll take the 100,000 troops!”
Chai Yuxin hurriedly said, “Although I have no prior experience in warfare, I have always been working hard towards this. I’ve not only practiced martial arts but also thoroughly studied military strategies and tactics, and you’ve seen all of this! You should give me a chance! I will definitely build you an invincible and powerful army!”
Lin Beifan nodded reluctantly, “Alright, I’ll let you command 100,000 troops for now, but don’t wear out my army!”
“Rest assured, I won’t, I definitely won’t!”
Chai Yuxin laughed joyously, “I, Chai Yuxin, have finally become a general! And to command 100,000 troops right from the start, haha!”
Laughing so heartily, every tone brimmed with joy.
Seeing this, Lin Beifan couldn’t help but feel happy himself and loudly said, “No need for words, let’s drink to celebrate!”
“That’s right, let’s drink!”
After several rounds of drinks, Chai Yuxin finally calmed her excited emotions and glared at Lin Beifan, saying, “You scoundrel, don’t think that by treating me this way, I will forgive you! Let me tell you, my father and Uncle Xiao treat you even better than they treat me. They regard you as their own son, and they even want me to be your…”
Chai Yuxin’s face turned slightly red, and then she continued, “That’s why you’d better restore their official positions and not let down the hearts of those two elders, got it?”
Lin Beifan was immediately put in a difficult position: “I can restore their official positions, but if I do, you won’t be able to become a general. Can you bear that?”
“Why?” Chai Yuxin was baffled.
“Think about it, first there’s your father. If he’s reinstated, he’ll be the Grand General in charge of the nation’s entire military. All military appointments have to go through him. Do you think he’d let you become a general and lead troops into battle?”
“Firstly, although you have the ability, you have no military achievements to your name. Your father is a man who strictly adheres to military discipline; he can’t stand any imperfections and believes in justice over family connections. Do you really think you’ll have a chance to become a general?”
“That’s true!” Chai Yuxin slapped her forehead.
“Secondly, you’re a woman!”
Lin Beifan said, “Throughout history, there have been very few women who have become generals, almost none! Your father is quite a conservative person. The likelihood of you becoming a general is almost impossible!”
“Yes, yes…”
Chai Yuxin nodded repeatedly: “That’s exactly what my father is like!”
“Thirdly, he also wants you to become my empress…”
“You little rascal, what nonsense are you talking about?” Chai Yuxin said, annoyed, as she punched Lin Beifan.
“Taking into account all the reasons mentioned, you can’t have both! Either your father is reinstated to his official position, or you become a general; there’s no third option. Choose one!”
“Maybe…”
Chai Yuxin’s eyes flickered slightly: “Let my father stay at home for now! After all, he’s getting on in years, and he’s fought battles for most of his life; he deserves to rest at home!”
Lin Beifan gave a thumbs up: “Yuxin, you truly are a filial daughter!”
“Thank you!” Chai Yuxin said, lowering her head guiltily.
After a moment, she raised her head again: “But what about Uncle Xiao? He’s been serving well as the Prime Minister, loyal and without fault. You should let him be reinstated to his official position!”
Lin Beifan nodded, “It’s possible, but you need to think it through! Uncle Xiao and your father are as close as can be, and once he’s reinstated, he might also make you…”
“I think we should forget about it. Uncle Xiao is also getting on in years and should be enjoying his retirement at home! As the younger generation, we shouldn’t trouble the elderly, don’t you agree?” Chai Yuxin said in a panic.
Lin Beifan gave another thumbs up, “Yuxin, you truly understand the greater good and are considerate of your elders. I’m impressed!”
“Thank you for the compliment!” Chai Yuxin felt even more guilty.
