Chapter 266: Qin Silong Thought It Through

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Su Bin informed Qin Zhenzhen about it, he had already rushed to inquire of Qin Silong.

“Brother Qin, I’ve heard that you’re planning to enroll in the military camp. Is this true?”

Qin Silong was taken aback. “How did you find out about my intention to join the military camp?”

“Your younger sister-in-law mentioned it to my younger brother, who then relayed the information to me.”

So it was his sister who had spilled the beans. No wonder Qin Silong had a suspicion about his sister’s intentions.

Qin Silong nodded. “Yes, I am. I’m uncertain if I’ll be able to pass the entrance exam, though.”

“Brother Qin, if anyone can pass the exam, it’s you.”

Qin Silong gave him a sidelong glance. “No need for flattery. Do you have something else to say?”

“I also want to enlist in the military camp alongside you!”

Qin Silong responded in a nonchalant tone, “If you wish to join, go ahead and enlist. You don’t need to inform me specifically.”

“Even if we both attend the military camp, there’s a chance we won’t be separated.”

Qin Silong continued to resist him. Although he was a bit disappointed, Su Bin pressed on.

“I understand that. The military camp is quite extensive, so the likelihood of us being separated is minimal.”

“I mean, in case we do get separated, we can look out for each other. What do you think?”

Qin Silong was initially ignoring him.

However, Su Bin persisted, saying, “If we end up together, it must be fate. We’ll watch each other’s backs.”

He decided to support his sister’s wishes. If he attended the military camp, it might change his fate.

Upon hearing this, Su Ping broke into a smile. “In that case, Brother Qin, I’ll express my gratitude in advance!”

Qin Silong felt a bit awkward. “Why are you thanking me? I mean, we should watch out for each other. We’re all new recruits, after all.

“Brother Qin, your martial arts and archery skills are exceptional. I’m sure you’ll rise through the ranks quickly in the military camp. Perhaps I’ll even be assigned under your command.”

“At that time, I’ll truly depend on you for guidance!”

His words weren’t just empty flattery. Qin Silong didn’t detect any insincerity in his tone.

Qin Silong gave him a stern look. “Why don’t you have any ambition?”

“I might be a commoner, but in your case, you’re from the Marquis Mansion’s lineage. Why don’t you aim high and believe you can hold an official position?” “Rank in the military is earned through contributions, not your background.”

“But I’m not saying this because I lack ambition or don’t want an official position. It’s because I genuinely believe your rank will surpass mine.”

“Because I genuinely think you’re more capable.”

In that moment, Qin Silong realized something he had been grappling with for a while.

Indeed, if he managed to attain an officer’s position in the military camp, the likelihood of him turning to a life of banditry would diminish significantly. Otherwise, he’d always worry about succumbing to the bandit lifestyle once more if he left the camp.

If he became a bandit again, Qin Silong might be sent to eradicate the bandits, potentially putting his family in danger.

It appeared he needed to support his companion and aim for a swift promotion once they entered the military camp..
