following day
Outside Chehou Wang Jian's residence, a few white-haired old men who were missing arms and legs and dressed in coarse linen clothes had gathered.
"The fleet is back. I wonder how Ye 'er is doing!”
"This kid has been smart since he was young. Don't worry, Ye 'er will be fine!”
A few white-haired old men discussed for a while before knocking on the door of Wang Jian's house.
After a long time, a servant poked his head out.
"This little brother, we are looking for General Wang Jian.”
The servant focused his gaze and saw five old men in simple clothes. His brows were slightly furrowed.
"Shoo shoo, where did this beggar come from to cause trouble in Marquis Che's residence?”
When an old man behind heard the servant's disdainful voice, anger rose from his heart and he was about to flare up.
An old man in front hurriedly pulled the old man and said,"Don't be angry, old brother. We're here to beg for help.”
After appeasing the angry old man, he went forward and said,"Please inform us that we are old friends with General Wang Jian.”
The servant glanced up and down, thinking how could an old acquaintance of Che Hou be in such a sorry state?
"Sir is busy with work, I won't see you!"
The servant pursed his lips and prepared to close the door.
However, under the force of his hands, the door did not move an inch.
When he looked again, he saw a white-haired old man holding the door with one hand, preventing it from moving.
"You old fellow, are you trying to cause trouble here?”
The servant cursed and reached out to push him away, but the old man grabbed his arm.
"You snob!"
The old man grabbed the servant's wrist with one hand and flipped the servant's body to the ground.
"Someone come! He's causing trouble!"
The servant was in pain and lay on the ground, wriggling.
Not long after, a dozen servants and Wang He ran out of the mansion.
"Let go! Great Qin forbids private fights!"
One of the servants berated. Wang He looked over and saw a few old men. Some had half an arm broken, and some had a few fingers broken.
Looking at it again, he felt that it was somewhat familiar.
Wang He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. He was surprised.
"You are Uncle Sheng?"
"This is Uncle Qi?"
Wang He immediately went up and said respectfully,"Why didn't you tell us beforehand that you're coming?”
The old man in the lead twitched his nose and snorted coldly."If we didn't come over, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to enter this Chehou Estate!”
......
After a while, Wang Jian walked out of the mansion.
"Brothers!"
Wang Jian looked at the five old men and shouted with a pleasantly surprised expression.
"Greetings, General!" Although the five old men could take advantage of their seniority in front of Wang He, they still respected Wang Jian.
Wang Jian sighed as he looked at the disabled bodies of the few old men. He sighed and said,"How are the old brothers?"
These were all Great Qin's veterans.
At the same time, he was also Wang Jian's subordinate.
They could be considered as people with outstanding military achievements, and the lowest rank of nobility had reached the rank of Shu Chang.
These few people had even saved Wang Jian's life in a battle to break out of the encirclement. The arm that won was broken at that time.
Because of their injuries, this group of people had no choice but to leave the battlefield.
After that, the First Emperor unified the world.
Great Qin's millions of soldiers were waiting to be rewarded with titles and land, and the people of the six states needed to be appeased.
Great Qin did not have any land to distribute, and it was the retired soldiers who gave away their land unconditionally to those who had made contributions.
It was also because of the selflessness of Great Qin's veterans that the Ancestral Dragon had been able to easily overcome this crisis.
"Brothers, you're all old!"
Wang Jian pulled Sheng's hand and sat down. Looking at the white hair on his head, he sighed with emotion.
Yesterday, he was still killing enemies on the battlefield. Today, his hair was already white.
His brothers from back then had all become old men, and his hair had already turned white.
A few hours had passed since old friends met.
"General, we have a request for you.”
Sheng said after a moment of hesitation.
"Brothers, if you have any difficulties, just tell me!”Wang Jian was in a good mood as he put his palms together and said.
"We are here to look for someone!"
A few veterans looked at each other and said.
"More than ten years ago, we picked up a child. At that time, the child was only three years old.
When this child was nine years old, he was chosen as a virgin when the Emperor ordered Xu Fu to go out to sea. Now that the fleet has returned, the brothers have inquired many times and found out that they are now in the Lantian camp. I hope that the general will be lenient and let him return.”
Wang Jian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile,""This is not a difficult matter. Brothers, tell me first what this child's name is.”
"Surnamed Zhao, given name Ye!"
Wang Jian almost spat out the tea he had just drank.
"What?!"
"Zhao Ye!"
