The water in Jian Qingqing’s mouth spurted out. Looking at the expectant eyes of the others, she seriously refused, “No!”

Old Man Jian also had a look of disapproval on his face. “What can you do on the battlefield at such a young age?

Jian Dalang was so angry that he wanted to take off his shoes and hit the three little ones.

Although Mother Jian did not say anything, she was obviously hurt by this news.

“Why?” the three of them asked with an aggrieved expressions. “Many of our schoolmates at the Academy said they wanted to go, so we wanted to go too.”

“What are you guys going to do?” Jian Dalang asked angrily. “You are all still so young, so are you going to kill the enemy or cause trouble?”

“I’m not young anymore. I’m already 14. There are many soldiers younger than me in the military camp,” Xiao Hu disagreed.

Xiao Lang also retorted, “My martial arts is amazing! Those who are older than me might not even be able to defeat me. I will definitely be able to kill many enemies.”

Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment, then said, “I can do logistics. I heard that I don’t need to go to the battlefield. I can also provide them with strategies. Sir said that my strategies are very well written.”

Jian Qingqing looked at the three of them indifferently and put down the cup with a ‘click’.

“I know that you all want to contribute to Great Wei. It’s good that you have this intention, but you’re all too impulsive.”

“Xiao Hu, let me ask you, what can you do on the battlefield? Do you know

Kung Fu? Going to the battlefield is like sending your head to the enemy.”

Xiao Hu wanted to retort, but he did not know what to say. He could only shake his head with a sullen expression.

“Xiao Ye, your body has not been very good since you were young. Do you know how hard it is to be in the army? Can you take it? Not only would you not be of any help, but you might even become a burden. Moreover, your teacher said that your strategy was well written, which means that you are as good as the students in the Academy. Did you write any world-famous strategy? If you didn’t, you would just be an ordinary student. Why would they use your strategy? Do you think you’re more powerful than a general who has been in the army for many years?

Xiao Ye was suddenly hit. His sister was right. His cleverness was only in school, and his good essays were only spread among the students. No one would know who he was after he went out.

Jian Qingqing looked at the smug Xiao Lang again, as if saying: My Kung Fu is good. Let’s see what you say about me.

She sighed and said, “Xiao Lang, I know that you’ve learned a lot of martial arts from Big Brother Ming and the gentlemen of the Academy all these years. Now, even though you’re young, you’re very powerful. I heard that you won first place in your Academy’s martial arts competition last year and defeated a senior who was much older than you, right?”

Xiao Lang had a proud look on his face, but he still pretended to be nonchalant and said humbly, “It’s just so-so.”

Jian Qingqing suddenly changed the topic. “But I also heard from your teacher that you were only serious during martial arts classes. In other classes, you were restless as if you were sitting on an anvil. You didn’t listen well in class, and you didn’t practice your literature well. You didn’t even complete any of the memorizing tasks that your teacher assigned, right?”

Xiao Lang lowered his head guiltily and nodded his head indistinctly.

“It’s good that you admit it,” Jian Qingqing said. “That’s why you don’t even listen to your teacher in school. Can you listen to your officer on the battlefield?”

“I will listen!” Xiao Lang nodded with certainty.

. If what he said is right,” he added.

Jian Qingqing nodded.. “That’s a good answer, but how do you know if he’s right or wrong? If you don’t listen to the class properly, how can you judge whether someone is right or wrong?
