In the meeting
Although Ying Zheng wanted to start listing what was wrong with Lin Feng he stopped himself after all he had to kiss the general's ass.
After all, flattery will get you everywhere
Ying Zheng turned toward the general and bowed slightly "General, please allow me to teach him a lesson on your behalf after all I am not as patient and kind as you. I hope the general will not blame me I am young and foolish."
Hearing this general Qing Huan was very pleased so much so that he wanted to smile from ear to ear but he tried to hide it but was a bit unsuccessfully in doing that so he just smiled and then said to Ying Zheng "Please continue commander Ying and I will bear witness if commander Lin Feng does not disagree with this arrangement."
Lin Feng frowned and then stated, "I agree with you but you have to give me a reason that I disagree with or refute."
Ying Zheng chuckled and said, "Alright, I agree."
Ying Zheng paused then continued "First of all you are not obedient and disciplined. you do what you want when you want it. Do you agree with what I have just said, general?"
The general and most of the nobles laughed then general Qing Huan nodded in approval "Well said! Well said commander Ying."
Lin Feng sneered in retaliation at Ying Zheng like looking at an idiot "Hmph even if you are obedient you still have no results to show for it do you know or is there something else that I do not know about?"
Ying Zheng still answered calmly "That brings me to my second point which can be said to be an extension of my first point to convince you of your loss."
Lin Feng frowned then laughed "Hahaha please continue."
Ying Zheng nodded then continue "My point is in battle even if you don't have many losses in your camp you still cause damage to others for example in the last battle steadily retreating because we wanted to trap and surround them but went on ahead attacking them with your 500 men. The reason why you did not have any deaths in your men is because the newly promoted commanders cleaned up after you and this is not once or twice but in every and in fact instead of being punished and demoted the general let it go since he thought you were charismatic young and hot blooded. But that is not the worst in your low intelligence you decided to challenge the wise general your patron and supporter. He has been like a father to you although he does not show it he still cares about you but you went ahead and challenge your patron's dignity kindness and patience, in fact, you kissing his feet and liking them is not punished enough but since the general is a benevolent person I will not ask for more."
Hearing Ying Zheng's touching words everyone felt touched and felt that Lin Feng was being unfilial.
In fact, even the general himself thought that he was a kind man.
Lin Feng saw that everyone had turned against him and the nobles gazing down at him with condescending and disgusted looks at him he regretted all this bullshit he had done but he could not apologize and lick the general's shoes he still had his dignity. Lin Feng stammered and started to hesitate.
Seeing this the commanders started cursing at him and looking down on him while some were genuine others were trying to earn some favors or credit from the higher-ups.
"Lin Feng do not be a wuss and do it."
"Yes, Lin Feng do not go back on your word."
"Come on Lin Feng after all everyone was witness or do you want to go back on your words."
"Lin Feng do not eat your words like shit."
These were a few of the many words coming into Lin Feng's ears and Lin Feng was burdened by these people's words. He knew if he did not lick the general's shoes he will probably die and he had to do it fast before someone tries to kill him.
Lin Feng said in an unhappy tone while kneeling down "I am sorry general I was wrong."
Lin Feng licked the general's shoes and then kissed them. Finishing that he hurriedly stood up and turned around while using his clothes to clean up his lips and his tongue.
Everyone could see Lin Feng's eyes had streaks of red running across his eyes like lightning streaks but they could not care less, in fact, most of them were laughing mocking, and looking at him contemptuously.
Lin Feng was angry beyond measure he blamed all this on general Qing Huan. Lin Feng swore in his heart if he does not get revenge on the nobles that mocked and looked down on him general Qing Huan and his commander underlings, especially that Ying Zheng Min Hao and Ren Long.
Lin Feng did not continue to stay in the camp but left directly. Although this would be considered as rude and disrespectful to general Qing Huan he did not care he had to leave that place before he did something he would regret or kill someone.
General Qing Huan smirked as he left then commented "That young star is too impulsive and can not take positive criticism and learn from it well done Ren Long Min Hao and Ying Zheng."
While the three of them bowed simultaneously Ren Long and Min Hao both said "Thank you general." Ying Zheng instead went ahead and continued to praise the general and the nobles "general I thank you for letting a small ant like me speak for you and the great nobles it was my honor."
While some of the nobles were feeling bitter about the general praising some commoners in front of them they were pleased to see Ying Zheng knew his place.
Hearing this the general praised Ying Zheng then finished the meeting by announcing the 2000-man commanders then ended it with a few words.
