Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Puyang City General Manor.
In Gongsun Yu's room.
Knock, knock, knock…
"Come in."
Gongsun Yu put down his military affairs and raised his head.
A young girl walked in. She was wearing a light yellow female outfit, which accentuated her graceful figure. Her natural brown hair was carefully sized up, and the natural arc of her hair fell on her shoulders, revealing a capable and lively atmosphere.
She had a pair of clear and bright pupils, curved eyebrows, and long eyelashes that were slightly trembling. Her fair and flawless skin was slightly pink, and her thin lips were as delicate as rose petals.
She was beautiful everywhere. She was not a fairy, but a chivalrous woman. However, her beauty was enough to shake the world.
Her name was Li Ji, Gongsun Li Ji.
"Li Ji, you're here."
"Yes, Grandfather."
Li Ji knelt on the cushion respectfully. She was extremely respectful to her grandfather and master.
After staring at her for a long time, Gongsun Yu said,"Have you heard of the name of the young man who killed nearly a hundred of my soldiers at the city gates?"”
Li Ji revealed a complicated expression and nodded."I heard that his name is Bai Qi."
"Yes." Gongsun Yu closed his eyes as if he was lost in his memories. He said softly,"Bai Qi, ancestor surname Ji, was born in the Qin Dynasty's Di County. His ancestor Bai Yibing was a descendant of Bai Lixi, the fifth grandson of the Zhou Dynasty's Grand Prince, Yu Zhong.”
"How has your Senior Brother Jing Ke been recently?"
It was a completely unrelated question, but Li Ji understood her grandfather's intention.
"Grandfather, I've always remembered the engagement, so I didn't dare to overstep it."”
Gongsun Yu opened his eyes and looked at Li Ji kindly."Yes, you and my old friend's son have been engaged since they were young, but I don't want to force you to abide by this engagement. The country of Wei is about to be destroyed, and the choice is yours.”
"Li Ji wants…wants to confirm if this Bai Qi is the one to be engaged to, if he is the one to be entrusted to for life.”
"Alright, in a few days, I will send someone to send you and Jing Ke out. When the battle is over, you can confirm it.”
Liji nodded. Just as she was about to say something, a voice came from outside the room.
"Crown Prince, Crown Prince! The general was handling military affairs and was not seen.”
"Get lost! I, the Crown Prince of the State of Wei, Gongsun Yu, have no right to see you!”
As the sound of his voice faded, the door was pushed open. The Crown Prince of Wei, who had ordered his servants to beat up Bai Qi on the streets that day, walked in.
He looked around and saw that there was no one else other than Gongsun Yu.
"General Gongsun, I'll get straight to the point. I want you to send someone to kill that Bai Qi. He killed my servant on the street, so he must die!”
Gongsun Yu sighed and shook his head.
Li Ji, who was hiding behind the screen, was shocked. Although she had never seen Bai Qi before, she was still a traditional woman from ancient times. Even if she had never met him before, she had a natural good impression of her future husband. Now that she heard that the Crown Prince wanted to kill him, how could she not be worried?
'I have to inform Bai Qi…'
Qin Country, Xianyang.
"Report! Great King, the situation at the front!"
A eunuch lowered his head and quickly walked into the hall.
"Hand it over."
"Yes."
Ying Zheng, who was sitting in the main hall, opened the bamboo slip. The great victory written on the front made him happy, but at the end, Meng Ao reported something that surprised him.
"He was sent into the vanguard army at the age of eight, killed nearly a hundred enemies, defeated Thunderflame with one move, and killed Python Whip Forest?”
Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng's expression remained unchanged, but he was slightly annoyed in his heart. The four guards of the Wind, Fire, and Forest had been protecting his safety all this while. Now that they were killed, how could he not be angry?
However, after reading the last paragraph written by Meng Ao in his personal capacity, Ying Zheng's anger was immediately extinguished.
His name is Bai Qi, and he will be the enemy of ten thousand people, just like an old friend reborn.
Old friend reborn?
Bai Qi was reborn!
Meng Ao had always been steady. To be able to receive such an evaluation from him, it meant that there was almost no exaggeration.
A general who was as powerful as Lord Wu 'an, and a mere guard, Ying Zheng knew very well which one was more important.
After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng wrote a line of words on the bamboo slip and handed it to the eunuch beside him.
"Give the bamboo slip to General Meng Ao and order someone to investigate this Bai Qi's identity.”
"Yes!"
Three days later.
In the outermost tent of the Qin camp, Baiqi was wolfing down his lunch.
After all, he was still young. Not only did he expend a lot of stamina a few days ago, but he also increased his stamina limit by a lot. All of this required a lot of food to replenish.
"Hahaha, Big Brother Bai, you're eating again as expected.”
The tent's cloth was pulled open and Meng Tian walked in with a big laugh.
In the past few days, he had challenged Bai Qi many times, and each time, he would end up failing. In the end, Bai Qi was extremely annoyed and said that if he called him big brother, he would train with him. Otherwise, he could forget about it.
In the end, he did not expect Meng Tian to be so shameless as to call an eight-year-old child 'Big Brother'.
"If there's nothing else, get lost."
Bai Tou said without raising his head and continued eating.
After a few days, the two memories in his mind had mostly merged. His killing intent had also been restrained a lot, and he was no longer as silent as before.
"Hahaha, it's a good thing." Meng Tian sat down across from Baiqi." The King has replied. Regardless of whether you were a soldier of the State of Wei or not, as long as you go into battle and kill the enemy to atone for your sins, you will be awarded the rank of Commander Zuo if you kill 500 people!”
"Oh?"
Baiqi raised his head in surprise. He knew what military rank Bugeng and Zuo Shuzhang were.
The Qin country had a 20-rank military title system. The first rank was a public officer, and the higher the rank, the higher the rank. The 20th rank was a marquis.
Not only was he at the fourth rank, but Zuo Shu Zhang was at the tenth rank. Even his grandfather in his second life, the world-shaking Baiqi, took several years to become Zuo Shu Zhang.
Speaking of which, the promotion of military ranks in the State of Qin was very simple and crude. There was only one word: kill. The more you kill, the higher your military rank.
"What if I break through the city within ten days?”
Meng Tian was stunned, thinking that Baiqi was joking. She smiled and said,""Then maybe we can be made generals. But Big Brother Bai, you and I are both small soldiers. Even if we really break through the city in ten days, the military merits have nothing to do with you and me.”
Bai Qi lightly smiled and lowered his head to continue eating.
'That might not be the case…'
