Chapter 671 Tail Feather's Internal Meeting

The Tail Feather squad returned to the Star Frontier Army compound around noon, just in time for lunch. Han Jiangxue wanted to take them to eat, but they all refused...

Even the most well-behaved Yi Qingchen said that he couldn't eat anymore.

Well, Yi Qingchen was indeed full... There wasn't enough food, so they made up for it with dog food.

Jiang Xiao also kept Han Jiangxue behind and convened an internal meeting of the Tail Feather squad in the office building's conference room.

Watching the squad members file in, Jiang Xiao stood in the corridor, opened the window, and called out,

"Zhang Songfu!"

Damn it, I don't know when Zhang Songfu will arrive...

"Here!" The soldier on guard downstairs immediately came out, stood in the open space, and looked up at Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao said, "Tell the cafeteria to save a meal. Bring it back and deliver it to me here in 20 minutes."

"Yes..."

Behind him, Han Jiangxue said helplessly, "If you don't want to eat, you don't want to eat. It's just a meal."

Jiang Xiao turned around and pushed Han Jiangxue into the conference room, saying, "That won't do. We have the means now, so we should eat when we can. When we go to the battlefield in the future, there will be times when you're hungry."

In the conference room, everyone took their seats. Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "When I met with the *shou.zhang* (commander) before, they only asked Er Wei and me to take positions in the Star Frontier Army.

As for you, according to common sense, you should stay in the Tail Feather Regiment and fill the vacancies in various positions..."

Han Jiangxue knew about Er Wei's conversation with Jiang Xiao the night before. She immediately understood Jiang Xiao's meaning. Her little brother didn't want to block his brothers' progress and was preparing to arrange positions for the Tail Feather squad members in the army.

The Tail Feather squad members had made outstanding achievements, and their ranks had risen quickly.

Liu Wei, Qi Wei, and Ba Wei were all colonels at this time, and Wu Wei, who had joined later, was also a lieutenant colonel.

They were more than qualified to be regimental-level cadres.

Jiang Xiao organized his thoughts and continued, "The night before, Er Wei and I discussed it. You are members of my Tail Feather squad. There are many paths you can choose for your future development. I prefer one of them, which is to have you lead this 300-man team."

Yi Qingchen blinked. From a subordinate team member to a regimental-level general? And leading 300 people? This...

Jiang Xiao said, "I think you should train. Today, the 300 people will return to the team. The Star Frontier Army will also divide these 300 people into three battalions. You can first be second-in-command in the battalions, gain experience, and lead the teams. You can't be team members in a small squad forever."

Xia Yan became anxious and said, "Then what about you? Will you be a commander with no soldiers?"

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao scratched his head. What Xia Yan said was a bit accurate...

Vice Commander Jiang, with not a single soldier under his command!

Truly a commander with no soldiers!

Gu Shi'an said softly, "Brother, your body is a bit fragile now. My star techniques are also of high quality. If I stay by your side, everyone can feel more at ease."

Jiang Xiao smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I also have personal plans to make the most of my mecha.

Jiang Latu is a Starry Sky mage, and Jiang Keli and Martha are Starry Sky agile fighters.

What's more, there's also the Hua Xing couple. Both of them are in the Starfall stage, one agile fighter and one healer.

They have a complete set of star techniques and are extremely capable. It would be a waste to keep them in my Inner Star World to guard the house."

Gu Shi'an grinned. What he said was right, but Jiang Xiao was still "an army of one."

Jiang Xiao raised his hand to stop everyone from speaking and continued, "According to the current world situation, there is no doubt that our Star Frontier Army has great potential for future development and will definitely expand its army.

You are all soldiers of Hua Xia, and you all have parents who hope you will become dragons. First, be a deputy commander as a stepping stone for future development.

Currently, we don't have any particularly difficult tasks. You are growing too slowly by my side.

Of course, you are still members of the Tail Feather squad. Once there is a special task, I will recall you immediately."

As he said that, without waiting for everyone to speak, Jiang Xiao made a decision: "It's settled then. Wu Wei, Liu Wei, and Qi Wei, I will recommend you three as deputies of the three regiments when I attend the meeting this afternoon.

I hope you can grow up quickly, change your way of thinking as soon as possible, learn to be a leader, learn to lead a large-scale army in combat.

We are all young, with unlimited future, so don't limit yourselves."

"Sigh..." Gu Shi'an sighed deeply and also felt Jiang Xiao's deep "care."

This kind of vocabulary didn't seem to belong among peers, let alone Jiang Xiao, who was younger than them.

Even without healing star techniques, Jiang Xiao was still taking care of everyone in all aspects of life and work. He was undoubtedly worthy of the support position!

Han Jiangxue, on the side, breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she was worried that Jiang Xiao would also send her out to be a deputy commander.

"Alright, everyone, disperse." Jiang Xiao said with a smile, "Shi'an, stay for a moment."

Seeing that Jiang Xiao wanted to talk to Gu Shi'an in private, the squad members felt helpless and could only leave.

Jiang Xiao said, "I have a meeting at one o'clock this afternoon. Wait for me here at one-thirty."

Gu Shi'an: "Huh?"

Jiang Xiao said, "I've been too busy these days to find the time. Now that you're back, the Star Frontier Army is likely to go on an expedition. While we have the chance today, I'll use *Xing Wu Ji* (Star Martial Records) to modify your body."

The page with the human body modification diagram in *Xing Wu Ji* was also wrinkled, and it was estimated that there were not many uses left. He would use it on his closest people first.

"Okay." Gu Shi'an nodded immediately.

...

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Star Frontier Army's streamlined three-person team held a meeting. To Jiang Xiao's surprise, he saw a familiar face!

Former Tail Feather Regiment member: Tiangou (Hellhound) - Zhang Wenqing!

And judging from Tiangou's posture, was he acting as Er Wei's bodyguard?

What a waste of talent!

What kind of person was Tiangou?

When Er Wei was the hands-off commander in the Tail Feather Regiment, it was Tiangou - Zhang Wenqing who handled all the regiment's affairs.

A talent like Tiangou was more than capable of commanding an army, but he was transferred to be Er Wei's bodyguard?

Jiang Xiao suddenly realized something. This Er Wei... was probably going to be a hands-off commander again?

Don't look at my Tiangou's rank not being very high, but I'm a hidden commander?

How big of an official I, Tiangou, can be depends entirely on what position Er Wei holds?

Of course, strictly speaking, Jiang Xiao was also one of the people who was "wasting talent."

Wasn't Zhang Songfu, who had made great achievements, led the Star Beast Legion in the Inner Star World to conquer the north and south, and led the Night Watch Legion on the Alien Planet to conquer the east and west, also recruited by Jiang Xiao to be a bodyguard...?

Jiang Xiao greeted Tiangou and discussed his suggestions with the two leaders.

Er Wei wasn't surprised by Jiang Xiao's suggestion. Yi Zhizhong pondered for a long time and also asked Er Wei for his opinion.

Er Wei nodded immediately. The three Tail Feathers became deputy commanders of the three teams, and that was settled.

As for the candidates for the commanders of the three teams, they were also quickly finalized. The commander of the first team was Xie Donglin, the former deputy regimental-level cadre of the Pioneer Army.

Known as "Sickle Scale"!

His resume clearly stated that Xie Donglin was one of the first Hua Xia soldiers to enter the Alien Planet, and he followed the Pioneer Army to fight on the Hua Xia Eastern Front, making great achievements. He was one of the higher-ranking soldiers transferred from the Star Frontier Army this time.

This nickname, well... how should I put it? It seemed awe-inspiring, but it actually had a hint of banter.

His nickname spread during the battle on the Alien Planet.

The sickle in Xie Donglin's hand was used to harvest Star Beasts, just like scraping fish scales, peeling off a layer at a time...

Because the Star Beasts on the Alien Planet were too high-level, their physical qualities were mostly extremely tyrannical, which also led to Xie Donglin's sickle not being able to kill them with one blow. Instead, they were left with half their lives, missing arms and legs, and squealing in pain...

The nickname "Sickle Scale" came from this.

Meeting my Sickle Scale is your misfortune!

Grandpa doesn't kill people, just scrapes!

In fact, Xie Donglin also wanted to kill them with one blow. He also wanted to "chop off the fish head" instead of "scraping the fish scales," but the Star Beasts on the Alien Planet were too fierce. He was really powerless...

Logically speaking, being able to fight back and forth with the Star Beasts on the Alien Planet was already a kind of "glory." This nickname was indeed a bit unfair to Xie Donglin, but not everyone was Jiang Xiao...

...

The second commander was Xuan Yuan Hengyu!

When Jiang Xiao saw this name, he was startled! This name only had four characters, but it occupied two mythological figures...

And the ancient surname of Xuan Yuan was rare in Hua Xia. At most, there were only a few thousand households left today, right?

Xuan Yuan Hengyu was from Hulu City, Liaodong, and was a member of the Central Plains Shattered Mountain Army, a capable subordinate of Yi Zhizhong. He was also one of the first generals to enter the Alien Planet, following the Shattered Mountain Army to fight on the Central Front.

As for the candidate for the commander of the third team, it was beyond Jiang Xiao's expectations. He heard a familiar name again: Fu Hei!

Jiang Xiao wasn't sure whether Er Wei specifically transferred Fu Hei to be the commander, or Fu Hei took the initiative to apply to come, or... the Tail Feather Regiment couldn't control Fu Hei and kicked him out...

In short, Fu Hei came to the Star Frontier Army's Third Independent Regiment to be the commander.

The three teams were all directly affiliated regiments, directly under the command of Er Wei. With her there, Fu Hei wouldn't be able to cause much trouble...

The three-person team held a simple meeting, finalized various matters, and then dispersed to work separately. The new army had just been established, and there were indeed many things to be busy with.

Jiang Xiao was much more relaxed. As agreed, he returned to the conference room of his office building and performed human body modification on Gu Shi'an.

Then, unsurprisingly, Jiang Xiao fell into a deep sleep. Just as Gu Shi'an didn't know what to do, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Han Jiangxue walked in, picked up Jiang Xiao, and left.

Gu Shi'an looked at Han Jiangxue's back, pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then flashed away...

Jiang Xiao slept soundly, from one-thirty in the afternoon to twelve-thirty in the morning!

This wasn't the most terrifying thing. What was even more terrifying was... Jiang Xiao woke up!

He looked at the clock on the bedside table and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Sleeping during the day and waking up at night, what was he going to do in the middle of the night?

Eh? That's right!

I'm the Vice Commander of the Star Frontier Army. Shouldn't I train the soldiers?

Should I take advantage of the late night and ring the bell to give the entire army an emergency assembly?

The more Jiang Xiao thought about it, the more excited he became. After thinking about it for a long time, he gave up.

After all, Er Wei was also in the compound, and she would definitely be woken up. Jiang Xiao was a little worried that she would kick him...

At twelve-thirty in the morning, Jiang Xiao, who was really bored, hesitated for a long time and then decided to flash to the Banshan Fenglin neighborhood in the same city.

...

Banshan Fenglin neighborhood, in the most central residential building, in a rather luxurious residence.

Fang Xingyun, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes, and the frown that had just appeared on her forehead eased slightly.

Looking at Hai Tianqing, who was sleeping soundly beside her, Fang Xingyun tiptoed out of bed, took a bathrobe from the hanger, put it on, and quietly walked out.

Walking through the corridor and into the living room, seeing the scene in front of her, a gentle smile appeared on Fang Xingyun's face.

In her sight, a young man was leaning against the bedroom door frame, arms crossed, quietly looking into the bedroom.

Fang Xingyun stepped forward, but saw Jiang Xiao making a "hush" gesture, accompanied by a soft exhalation: "Shh..."

This action wasn't for her, but for the girl in the bedroom: He Chongyang.

Little Chongyang's perception wasn't weak, but she had played too crazily today and was sleeping soundly.

She groggily opened her eyes, looked at Jiang Xiao blankly, and reacted for a while. Just as she was about to call out in surprise, she saw Jiang Xiao's hush gesture, and little Chongyang quickly covered her mouth with her small hand: "Mmm~"

Her bright eyes blinked, and with the reflection of the moonlight, they looked like two twinkling stars.

Little Chongyang's muttering came from between her fingers: "But... but Auntie Fang already knows."

Jiang Xiao: "Huh?"

Little Chongyang pointed to Jiang Xiao's back.

Jiang Xiao turned his head and saw Fang Xingyun, who had a reproachful look on her face, walking towards him.

Jiang Xiao smiled apologetically. Fang Xingyun walked to Jiang Xiao's side, also crossed her arms, leaned her shoulder against the other side of the door frame, and looked at He Chongyang, who was lying on the small bed in the bedroom.

Fang Xingyun said softly, "What's wrong? Don't you trust her with me?"

Jiang Xiao quickly said, "No, no, I just came to see her."

As he said that, Jiang Xiao looked at little Chongyang's bedroom and saw a pile of comic books under her bed.

Following Jiang Xiao's gaze, Fang Xingyun said softly, "She likes these storybooks very much, especially the ones with *pinyin*."

Hearing this, He Chongyang's eyes lit up. She sat up and waved to Jiang Xiao repeatedly: "Jiang Xiao, Jiang Xiao, come here quickly."

While saying that, He Chongyang picked up a copy of "Shuke and Beita" from the ground, hurriedly opened a page, pointed to the words on it, and said in a low voice as if showing off: "I know a lot of words now..."

Jiang Xiao walked to the bedside, looked at the happy and excited girl in front of him, and couldn't help but reach out and rub little Chongyang's pretty short hair: "Good, good..."

4 million words! Congratulations!
