Chapter 48-Wang Ben's Invitation! (New book!)
In Langya County Governor's manor.
At this moment, the Qin army led by Wang Li was still confronting the City Defense Army.
Meanwhile, Wang Li was squatting in the small courtyard where Innocent Family had been imprisoned. Su Mu was sitting opposite Wang Li, holding the bow that had just killed Langya County Chief.
"Why? You don't look worried at all. Aren't you afraid that you'll be punished for confronting the City Defense Army?”
Su Mu looked at Wang Li, who was squatting in front of him and drawing circles on the ground with his finger.
Wang Li shook his head." I'm not afraid. Brother, didn't you say that Langya County Chief had scoundrels in the city search for the two families and even killed people because of that? Just this alone makes Langya County Chief deserve the death penalty.”
However, Wang Li was just saying that on the surface.
Actually, he had another sentence in his heart.
That sentence was that you are the illegitimate son of His Majesty. What's there to be afraid of if I save you? Would His Majesty blame you for killing a county governor who should have been killed?
"Big brother, I'm not afraid of what you said. I'm just afraid that my father might teach me a lesson.”Wang Li frowned worriedly.
"Your father? Marquis Tongwu?" Su Mu said in surprise.
Wang Li nodded.
"Could it be that you're already a deputy general? Can your father still beat you?”Su Mu asked.
"Tsk!" Wang Li rolled his eyes." How refreshing. What do you mean by 'can you hit me?' My father is already a Martial Marquis and a general. My grandfather still hits me as he pleases. My father has never been soft-hearted when he hits me.”
Su Mu opened his eyes and mouth wide.
Damn, did the Old Wang family treat beating their son as a tradition?
Just as Wang Li was worried that he might be beaten up when he returned to the camp at night, the City Defense Army that was confronting them all retreated.
Su Mu and Wang Li looked at the wall in confusion.
"Gone? Why did they retreat?" Su Mu frowned and asked.
Wang Li, who was standing at the side, knew what was going on.
The incident here must have alerted the higher-ups. Perhaps the First Emperor already knew about it.
At this time, they should have sent someone over to clean up the mess.
As expected, not long after the City Defense Army retreated, Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, Wang Li's father, strode into the courtyard with his hand on the hilt of his sword, accompanied by a few mighty guards.
"Bastard, why aren't you getting out here? Are you a coward? How dare you confront the City Defense Army?”Wang Ben shouted as he walked into the courtyard.
Instantly, Wang Li, who was lying on the wall, turned pale with fright.
"It's over, it's over. My father is going to break my legs!”Wang Li said with a pale face.
Su Mu shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't have any good ideas and could only leave Wang Li to fate.
"Su Mu."
After that, Wang Ben shouted at the courtyard,"All of you, come out. The cause and effect of the matter have been investigated clearly, and the document of General Li Xin asking for merit for you has also been sent. His Majesty thinks that you have made contributions, so he will let bygones be bygones.”
General Li Xin?
Su Mu was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.
He didn't expect that the things he did in Liaodong would still be spread back. However, he didn't expect that it would alarm Qin Shihuang!
"My father won't lie to us. Let's go!”As he spoke, Wang Li pushed open the courtyard door.
Su Mu and Wang Li walked out of the courtyard together.
Su Mu cupped his hands and bowed to Wang Ben." Greetings, Marquis Tong Wu!"”
"Yes." Wang Ben nodded and said," General Li Xin, I've seen what you're thinking. That's what a good man should be like. There are no cowards in the Great Qin Empire. You're willing to sacrifice your life for your comrades, and you're willing to sacrifice your own life for your comrades 'families. I think highly of you!"”
Wang Ben patted Su Mu's shoulder.
Wang Ben wasn't trying to flatter him.
In reality, there was no one else in the Great Qin Empire that the Wang family could suck up to other than the First Emperor.
Therefore, Wang Ben meant what he said.
"Marquis Tong Wu praises me too much. I'm just an ordinary man's courage, not enough to accomplish anything.”Su Mu said modestly.
Wang Ben was even more pleased with Su Mu's modesty, and he nodded in agreement." Not bad, not bad at all. Such behavior is more like the behavior of Great Qin's soldiers."”
"However, you can see that the courage of an ordinary man is still the courage of an ordinary man. A real man can't have no power in his hands for a day. If there was no letter of request from General Li Xin today, if there was no one to protect you, I'm afraid you would not be able to escape today.”
"Moreover, I have seen General Li Xin's letter of request and feel that you should serve in the army.”
"Great Qin is promoted based on military merits, and as long as you have merits, you can be promoted. Now that Great Qin has so many problems at the border, do you think you can worry about not becoming a marquis or a general?”
"If one day I become a marquis or a general, who would dare to bully me?”Wang Ben said.
Su Mu had also thought about these problems, but if he wanted to stay in the army, he would have listened to General Li Xin and stayed in Liaodong.
It was because of Nan Fu's death that he had to return home, leaving behind an old father.
However, Su Mu knew that Wang Ben meant well, so he cupped his hands and bowed to Wang Ben." Thank you, General Wang Ben."”
"I understand what General has said. I was entrusted by someone to be loyal. I have an oath and have no time to escape.”Su Mu said apologetically.
Wang Ben was only passing on the First Emperor's orders, and he couldn't care less about anything else.
"It's fine, but as long as you change your mind, you can find me in the army anytime. I'll be in the camp outside the city for the next two days, but I'll be leaving for Xianyang in a few days!”Wang Ben said.
Su Mu thanked Wang Ben for his kindness.
Therefore, she parted ways with Wang Ben and his son.
