Chapter 639: Reverse Psychology!
The soldiers were all stunned, looking at Shen Ruojing in disbelief.
What?
This was their princess?
So, everyone turned to look at Yan Zixuan.
Yan Zixuan originally wanted these men to bully the women a bit, as their gazes alone could drive a woman mad. But now, his plan had backfired, giving Shen Ruojing a chance to train these noble ladies.
Realizing it was useless to deny it, he admitted, “Yes, this is the Princess. What are you waiting for? Pay your respects!”
The soldiers present immediately knelt down like dumplings. “Greetings, Your Highness!”
…..
Shen Ruojing looked at them and then turned to the standing noble ladies, speaking indifferently, “These ladies will be your comrades in the future. Put away your lewd behavior and watch your language. If I hear any more obscenities, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Hearing this, the soldiers became afraid.
The royal family’s prestige was still influential among the people and the military.
Everyone immediately apologized, “We were wrong, please forgive us, Your Highness.”
Shen Ruojing naturally wouldn’t blame them.
In fact, being around men for a long time could be quite suffocating, as they often spoke without considering their words. She had gotten used to this during her time in the Dark Web Organization. These soldiers were already much better than the men in that organization.
Shen Ruojing simply said, “Get up.”
Of course, some were convinced, while others were not.
So they stood up and asked, “Your Highness, General, what do you mean by saying they’ll be our comrades in the future?”
Yan Zixuan didn’t speak, but Shen Ruojing explained, “It means that our team of ten female soldiers will join your ranks, and we will be your comrades in battle!”
“What? Arc you joking?”
“How can I trust my back to a woman?”
“Actually, the army’s kitchen staff is short-handed. If you really want to be a soldier, you can go to the kitchen.”
“Or you can wash our clothes. Women should just stay behind and take care of the home!”
Everyone was talking.
While they respected the Princess, that didn’t mean they respected the other noble ladies.
Especially when it came to being a soldier, women were naturally at a disadvantage.
Luo Yan single-handedly faced the group,
“Why not train for a few days and then compare our abilities? What are you all ranting about?”
“Looking down on women? Weren’t you born from a woman? Without women, who makes your clothes and shoes? Would they appear out of thin air?”
“What’s wrong with women? I think you’re just afraid of us. Otherwise, why would you only want us to do laundry? Let’s compete fairly!”
Luo Yan’s words ignited the men, This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Fine, a fair competition! How do you propose we do that?”
Luo Yan didn’t know what to say when asked.
At that moment, Shen Ruojing suddenly spoke, “Didn’t you just say that there’s a martial arts competition coming up? Let your general give our troop a spot, and we’ll participate to show you!”
Shen Ruojing was waiting for this opportunity.
She had researched that the three armies didn’t get along well. So, in order to compete for control of the military and enhance their sense of honor, they held a martial arts competition every year. Each military district would then select three teams to compete.
It was tough to secure a spot for one of the three teams, as representing the military district in the competition was a dream for many soldiers.
Hence, following Luo Yan’s argument with the soldiers, Shen Ruojing seized the opportunity to propose this condition.
Yan Zixuan naturally disagreed. “No way!”
“Right, how can that be?” The other soldiers also chimed in.
“If you participate, won’t it be like we have one less team? How can we compete with other military districts then?”
“Yeah, and our final selection of thirty people would be reduced to twenty. No way, we don’t agree!”
Just as Shen Ruojing was about to speak, Luo Yan, unwilling to back down, said, “Why are you so worked up? Are you afraid to lose?”
“How could we be afraid to lose? We are…”
Before they could finish, Luo Yan’s sharper voice cut them off. “Then give us a spot and let us show you our strength! Don’t be so hesitant, big men!”
Luo Yan looked directly at Yan Zixuan, acting arrogantly. “Do you dare to give it to us?”
Yan Zixuan knew this was a provocative tactic, but for some reason, seeing Luo Yan’s proud attitude and disdain for him…
Yan Zixuan gritted his teeth and said, “What’s there to be afraid of? I’ll give you all a chance! My army has been winning championships for years anyway. This time, giving you a spot is like giving a just handicap for the other two armies!”
With the matter settled, Shen Ruojing looked at Yan Zixuan. “Alright, you’ve prepared our uniforms yesterday. Now take us to change our clothes!”
Yan Zixuan led the group forward.
As they walked, he finally realized that he had fallen for a provocation.
How did he impulsively agree to that?
It was simply too careless!
Every year, the three armies competed for the championship, but their strengths were similar. Yan’s army had been a bit stronger in recent years, winning the championship every time. However, this didn’t guarantee that they could secure the championship by sending out two teams!
Ah, he must have had water in his brain just now.
The more Yan Zixuan thought about it, the angrier he became. He looked at the group of female soldiers and led them to a room without a door. He then said, “The clothes are inside. You can go change. Oh, right, we male soldiers usually change clothes casually. If you want to be like men… go ahead and change. We’ll be watching you here.”
Shen Ruojing.”??”
Luo Yan..”??”
