Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Chapter 1414 - Exchanged Blows

1414 Exchanged Blows“…” Deng Wenchang, who was already lying on the bed, alternated between being awake and deep in his dreams. He could not tell whether he was dreaming or awake. Deng Wenchang shivered in the hot summer night. He grabbed a blanket that was left at the side and covered himself with it. Could it be that there would be a drastic change in the weather tomorrow? It was already July, so how was that possible?

“Zhai Sheng, look who’s here.” Zhai Hua patted Zhai Sheng’s shoulder, motioning for Zhai Sheng to look at the person walking toward them. Peng Yu was responsible for Elder Lin’s safety when he went overseas last time. But with Elder Lin’s help, Zhai Sheng took most of Peng Yu’s credit at the last minute. Many people in the army knew about it and everyone was talking about it.
The party concerned knew who spread the news around the camp.
The reason why Peng Yu did that was to win over the people in the army. People would usually sympathize with the weak in normal circumstances. No matter how one looked at it, it was Zhai Sheng who was being dishonest. Peng Yu was being bullied by him.
Although the soldiers would have a discussion among themselves, the higher-ups would not be affected by the discussion going around. They would base on their judgment when they decided who should take credit for the assignment.
Whenever Zhai Sheng and Peng Yu happened to be in the place, the atmosphere between the two of them would be interesting. People could not help but put down all the things on hand and watched how the two young and promising soldiers exchanged blows.
“Deputy Brigade Commander Zhai, are you having your meal?” Peng Yu, who looked like a scholar and had a fairer complexion than Zhai Sheng, smiled. No matter how long he stood under the sun, he still had a fair complexion. He acted very friendly to Zhai Sheng. The two of them used to grow up together in the quad in Ping Cheng. It was just that Peng Yu moved to the capital earlier than Zhai Sheng.
It was not an exaggeration to say that they were ‘childhood friends’. But it was just that Zhai Sheng and Peng Yu did not have a good relationship with each other.
Zhai Sheng swallowed the last bite of his meal and smiled. “I thought that Regiment Commander Peng has good eyesight. I didn’t know that your vision has turned worse.” Since he was in the canteen and was putting food into his mouth, he must be having his meals. If not, could he be there specially to wait for Peng Yu?
Peng Yu did not mind that Zhai Sheng was being edgy. “Is that so? It just happens that I have some questions to ask you. Can I take the seat opposite you after I get my food?”
“Well, Regiment Commander Peng, I am sorry to say that I have already taken the seat.” People who worked with Zhai Sheng could tell what Peng Yu was up to. He quickly took the seat that Peng Yu was after.
Without waiting for Peng Yu to make further comments, several other soldiers took the seats to Zhai Sheng’s left and right-hand side. They also took the seats two seats away from Zhai Sheng’s left and right-hand side, as well as the four seats adjacent to him. All of the seats in Zhai Sheng’s three directions had been taken up.
All these people formed a circle around Zhai Sheng and surrounded him as if he was a precious gem. Peng Yu had no way to get close to him.
Peng Yu smiled at this situation. “Deputy Brigade Commander Zhai, when did you become so timid?” There were so many people. He would be a fool if he made trouble for Zhai Sheng in the public without any apparent reason. The general opinion had just changed to side with him. If he was reckless now, all his efforts would be in vain.
“Do I have the guts? Zhai Sheng asked a rhetorical question, looking seriously at Peng Yu. “Perhaps compared to you, I might not seem to be as brave. Of course, you can also say that I am more steady and dependable instead of being excessively cautious.”
Zhai Sheng knew that his family had been targeted.
He only needed to do a check and he knew that it had to do with Peng Yu. Peng Yu sent a large group of men to keep a watch on Nan Nan, a defenseless woman. Now that he thought about it, Zhai Sheng could not resist the itch to give Peng Yu a beating.
Fortunately, in the end, the Deng family and the Peng family did not do anything to hurt the Zhai family. Otherwise, Zhai Sheng would not let Peng Yu go. He would not be able to talk to him right now looking perfectly fine. “By the way, is Regiment Commander Peng free? I just finished the meal and I am thinking of doing some practice to aid in the digestion.” Zhai Sheng had never exchanged blows with Peng Yu. He did not want to give up the rare opportunity today, so he asked Peng Yu to exchange blows with him.
Peng Yu smiled. “Sure. I have this intention as well. We have known each other since a young age. We are so close but we seldom interact or talk to each other. We must make use of this opportunity to get to know each other.” Since a long time ago, Peng Yu had wanted to find out how good Zhai Sheng was with his fists.
He only got to watch Zhai Sheng spar with his subordinates.
Peng Yu could not get a real grasp of Zhai Sheng’s real strength if he used others as a reference. He was afraid that he might have a wrong estimate of his abilities, and it might turn out to be a waste of time and effort.
Since Zhai Sheng made the suggestion, Peng Yu would definitely agree to it. “If you don’t mind, can you give me five minutes?” Zhai Sheng had finished his meal, but he had yet to have his meal. How could a soldier win a battle on an empty stomach?
“Five minutes?” Zhai Sheng stood up. “I won’t wait for you. I will go there first. Since I am exchanging blows with you, I have to be very serious about it. I will change into the right clothes to spar with you. You have five minutes, so take your time to have your meal. Do you know where to go to after the meal?” Zhai Sheng liked to be in control. Moreover, his opponent was Peng Yu.
Zhai Sheng would not give in to Peng Yu in terms of decisive minor details. In this life, Zhai Sheng was only willing to wait for his family and his enemies. Zhai Sheng was particularly patient with his enemies. There was once when he was still an average soldier, he did not sleep for forty-eight hours. He kept his eyes open to prevent someone from leaking the information.
It was an easy feat not to sleep in those forty-eight hours. What was worse was that there were a lot of mosquitoes. They could be considered as the mosquitoes in the autumn. Those who had been stung by mosquitoes would know that if one was stung by mosquitoes in the autumn, it would be very itchy and painful. It was sheer torture.
After lying in ambush for forty-eight hours, Zhai Sheng had numerous mosquito bites on him. When he checked himself in the mirror, he did not look like he was in an ambush. Instead, he seemed as if he just had a sumptuous meal and enjoyed himself, the reason being his face was swollen and bloated.
