Still, a competitive streak stirred in Jiang Ying's heart. She naturally knew about Han Jingjing's relationship with her younger brother. She also approved of Han Jingjing, the daughter of the city's chief administrator. When Han Jingjing had visited her family, she'd been poised and gracious, and the two of them had gotten along quite well.
Even so, Jiang Ying didn't want to be outshone by Han Jingjing during this operation.
Especially since she'd been training hard these past few days without getting to take part in any of those exciting battles. Jiang Ying had always regretted missing out.
Han Jingjing, on the other hand, had performed admirably in both the Star City battle and the relief operation in the Western Frontier Military Region. She'd even led a team independently, demonstrating impressive leadership.
"Auntie, you know the terrain around Mount Dajin better than we do. The intelligence Liu Zai Lai and the others gave us is complicated. They have outposts in a lot of villages. The tactics we put together in such a hurry still don't feel thorough enough. Could you take a look and give us some advice?"
Jiang Du actually liked being relied on, but she still put on a bit of an air. "I'm just a country woman. Does the military really need my advice?"
Jiang Ying grinned and linked arms with Jiang Du, swaying her gently. "Auntie, you're not just any country woman. You're the only country woman in the whole country as outstanding as you are. If you were an ordinary country woman, Liu Zai Lai and his gang would've captured you ages ago. How else could you have wiped them all out? Our auntie's every bit as good as any man. Even ten men together couldn't measure up to you."
The flattery pleased Jiang Du.
