"D-died?"
In the tent, Meng Ao and the other generals looked at the corpse on the ground, dumbfounded.
They had not expected Bai Qi to suddenly attack and kill the messenger sent by the king.
That was the king's messenger, and he died in the tent just like that.
Immediately, Meng Ao and the other generals paled, and they panicked.
They were all stunned by Bai Qi's sudden actions.
After all, this was a serious crime that would cost him his head!
Meng Ao and the other generals turned their heads and carefully looked at Bai Qi. Bai Qi's expression was still calm, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
Of course, what they didn't know was that Bai Qi was happy because he had just gained ten years of lifespan, and not because he had killed that envoy.
"I have never seen any emissaries, nor have any emissaries come to the camp.”
Baiqi glanced at the generals in the tent and spoke indifferently.
Perhaps it was because his soul came from the future, so he was not bound by the feudal ideology of this era.
He didn't feel much about defying the imperial edict and killing the emissary, nor was he as terrified as Meng Ao and the others.
In Baiqi's opinion, loyalty to the country was fine, but blind loyalty was not.
"Yes, yes. We haven't seen any emissaries, nor have any emissaries come to the military camp.”
Meng Ao and the others were awakened by Bai Qi's voice and hurriedly nodded.
Now that the king's envoy had died in the tent, if this matter were to spread, they would not be able to escape responsibility.
The laws of the State of Qin were relatively strict, and they would implicate others at every turn.
Although they did not kill the envoy, they were present and were Bai Qi's subordinates. They would definitely be implicated.
Moreover, many of these generals were Baiqi's trusted aides and had followed him through life and death for many years.
They naturally wouldn't watch their general get into trouble, and they wouldn't betray their general either.
Perhaps they might not be able to follow Bai Qi and rebel, but if they were to help Bai Qi hide this matter, they could still do it.
They also knew that General Baiqi was doing this for the good of the Qin Country.
Moreover, as long as they insisted that they had never seen the messenger and that they were dead, even if the king of Qin suspected them, he would not do anything to Baiqi.
After all, with Bai Qi's prestige in the army and Great Qin, if they attacked him without any evidence, it might shake the morale of Great Qin.
If they could successfully destroy the State of Zhao, Bai Qi's prestige in Great Qin would once again rise.
At that time, it would be even more difficult for Qin Wang to touch Baiqi.
"Bai Mang, clean up this corpse.”
"After that, I will issue a gag order in the military camp. Any soldier who knows about the envoy is not allowed to mention the envoy from now on.”
Bai Qi said to Bai Mang, who was standing behind him.
"Yes, Great General!" Bai Mang nodded and began to personally deal with the corpse of the messenger.
At the same time, he began to pass on Baiqi's order to keep quiet.
Great Qin's military laws were even stricter than the laws of the Qin Empire, and with Bai Qi's might, all of the soldiers firmly remembered Bai Qi's order to keep quiet.
Great Qin's soldiers were different from the officials in the Imperial Court. They were simple and honest, and they did not have many tricks up their sleeves.
These soldiers only knew that military orders were as firm as a mountain, that they fought bravely against the enemy, and that they built their country on the battlefield. Other things did not have much to do with them.
Their only concern was whether they could survive the next war.
"System mission activated. Host, please choose!”
"God's Chosen One: Break through Handan City and destroy the State of Zhao, increasing your lifespan by 50 years!”
" God's Chosen One Two: Stay where you are and increase your lifespan by one year!”
" Increase lifespan by 50 years?" Bai Qi was stunned.
Was there a need to choose?
Moreover, he had originally planned to take the opportunity to destroy the State of Zhao.
If he could increase his lifespan by 50 years, perhaps he could witness or participate in the grand event of the First Emperor unifying the six countries.
"Choose God's Choice 1!"
He did not hesitate to accept the first mission. His heart was filled with anticipation.
"Pass down my order. Gather the army and prepare to set off. Our target is Handan City, the capital of Zhao!”
Baiqi ordered.
"Understood!" Meng Ao and the other generals bowed and cupped their fists as they accepted the order. Then, they left the tent and reorganized the army.
"Reporting to Great General, the army has been assembled!”
An hour later, Bai Mang came to Bai Qi and reported.
"Yes!" Bai Qi nodded and went to the empty space where the army was gathered.
Baiqi ascended the high platform in front of the army and looked down at the densely packed Qin soldiers below.
He knew that this army had a hundred thousand soldiers.
"Greetings, Great General!"
Just as Bai Qi stood on the platform, the Qin soldiers below bowed and cupped their fists at him.
Some of these Qin soldiers were veterans who had experienced countless battles, while some were new recruits who had just joined the army and survived the Battle of Changping.
However, when they saw Bai Qi appear, their faces were filled with excitement, and their gazes were filled with worship and admiration.
This was Great Qin's invincible War God!
He was a god-like existence in Great Qin's army, and he was the idol of all of the Qin army.
All of the Qin army followed Baiqi's example.
The Qin soldiers were all proud of General Baiqi because he was the pride of their country.
Bai Qi stood there, instantly becoming the brightest star.
The audience was filled with his fanatical fans.
All of these Qin soldiers were proud of being able to follow Baiqi in battle, and even if word got out, it would be a great honor.
Of course, they were more eager to follow the Great General on the battlefield and make contributions.
Baiqi could understand the desire in the eyes of the Qin army because he had also walked through this path in the past.
The Qin army was not afraid of death. They were afraid that they would not be able to fight, and they were afraid that they would not be able to make contributions!
"Soldiers of Great Qin, tell me, what is your purpose for joining the army?”
Baiqi waved his hand and waited for the Qin army to calm down before speaking.
"Protect the country and make contributions!"
The 100,000 Qin soldiers waved their spears and swords as they shouted excitedly.
After this period of rest, they had already recovered from the Battle of Changping. Each and every one of them was full of fighting spirit.
"Alright, a man should raise his sword and ride on his horse to protect the country and make contributions!”
Baiqi said loudly after hearing this.
"This general will bring you to make a name for yourself. Are you ready?”
Bai Qi roared.
"I'm ready!"
"Are you afraid of death?"
"I'm not afraid!"
"Alright, let's move out!"
Bai Qi saw that the morale of the Qin army was high and nodded his head in satisfaction before giving the order.
With Baiqi's order, the 100,000 Qin soldiers set off, marching towards Handan City.
