Chapter 351 The Leader Comes
The room fell silent, and those who had been cheering a moment ago to feel triumphant were all dumbstruck.
That... that’s it? It’s over?
The most shocked of all was Zhao Wen.
To lose right from the start, he couldn’t afford that kind of embarrassment!
So he protested, "That doesn’t count, that doesn’t count, I wasn’t ready yet, and besides, the referee hadn’t even finished speaking. You cheated, let’s do it over!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; it was just that he hadn’t been ready.
Xia Weibao just had the jump on him, it wasn’t about strength.
They had been saying, okay, her being good at fighting is one thing, her being quick is another, but when it comes to strength, how could a woman possibly be stronger than a man?
And besides, Zhao Wen was a weightlifter; he could probably lift Xia Weibao with one hand, so how could he lose!
Poor soldier brother, he probably didn’t know about Her Majesty the Empress’s impressive achievements, otherwise he wouldn’t have charged in so eagerly to his doom.
What does weightlifting matter? Our Empress can pry off a car license plate with her bare hands!
What? Prying off a license plate isn’t impressive?
What about lifting the front of a car with one hand, kicking down a centuries-old tree with one foot, punching a hole in a wall with one palm, is that impressive enough for you?
The two sat down together again, gripping hands, ready to go.
This time Zhao Wen dared not take Xia Weibao lightly, watching her intently and with full concentration.
His palms were sweating with tension.
"Ready... start!"
The referee finished speaking, and Zhao Wen immediately attacked, striving to push Xia Weibao’s hand down.
However, Her Majesty the Empress didn’t move an inch, innocently blinking her eyes, showing no sign of arm-wrestling at all.
It looked more like she was watching a poor bug’s death throes.
"Wow, Baby is so amazing!" Zhuang Xuejun jumped up.
Admiration poured out of her like a torrential river.
Yin Guo’s face was also filled with excitement, "Baby is formidable!"
Flattered by the beautiful woman, Her Majesty the Empress strutted as if her tail were about to curl up.
She glanced at Zhao Wen, his face turning red and his veins throbbing from the exertion, and spoke very pretentiously.
"You better use both hands."
The crowd, "..."
Heartbroken, they huddled together; leave them some dignity.
After all, they were soldiers, and now being decimated by a woman in seconds, how were they supposed to live this down?
Zhao Wen’s forehead began to sweat profusely. Hearing Xia Weibao suggest it, he seriously used both hands at once.
Yet, Her Majesty the Empress didn’t even twitch an eyebrow.
Feeling she had been cool enough, she then gently pressed down and simply pushed Zhao Wen’s hand down.
Zhao Wen, "..."
Wuu, I’m done playing, I want to go home to my mom.
This is too much bullying.
Having won another round, Her Majesty the Empress quickly ran over to hug her Beloved Concubine.
Only the last round remained, which was shooting.
However, the soldier brothers, already defeated and doubting life, had completely lost the will to compete and wanted to concede straight away.
At the shooting range, everyone was disheartened, except for Xia Weibao who was full of vigor, holding a gun and exploring it with fascination.
Even a gun without bullets was captivating to her.
The glint in her eyes was almost bright enough to burst into stars.
She had always been interested in these modern weapons.
They were so much more fun than the bows and arrows of the past, not to mention more lethal.
It was just that she wasn’t very skilled at using them.
Just then, a soldier hurried over and called the referee away.
"Captain, the high-ranking officer has arrived."
"What?!"
The referee, who was referred to as the captain, was greatly startled, Fang Lilin, the high-ranking official?!
Why on earth would such an important figure come to their remote little military camp?
