"White Snow, you miss your big brother again?”
Under a big tree at the village entrance, a little girl sat on a rock beside the tree, frowning slightly as she looked into the distance.
This little girl was Yi Baixue. She was Aunt Hu from the village.
The direction Yi Baixue was looking at was the direction where Yi Feng had left.
She was sitting where her eldest brother used to sit.
Ever since Yi Feng left, she would come here every day to sit for a while and see if her eldest brother would return.
Unfortunately, she did not see her eldest brother.
She didn't know how her eldest brother was doing in the military camp and whether he was bullied by others.
"Yes!" Yi Baixue nodded at Aunt Hu and smiled.
"The sun is about to set. I have to go back and cook medicine for mother.”
Then, she looked at the sky. It was getting late. She stood up and looked into the distance before turning around and running towards the village.
"Mother, are you feeling better?"
After Yi Baixue returned home, she immediately went to her mother's room.
Ever since Yi Feng left, her mother's illness had not been well. Everything in the family fell on Yi Baixue alone. She had to do laundry, cook, and boil medicine. She also had to take care of her mother.
However, Yi Baixue never complained.
Her elder brother had joined the army and her mother was sick. She had to support this family.
"Mother is fine, it must have been hard on you.”Yi Fengniang, who was lying on the bed, looked at Yi Baixue with a face full of pity.
It was all thanks to Yi Baixue during this period of time. Otherwise, she really didn't know how to get through it.
"This is what I should do." Yi Baixue smiled.
"Mother, I'll go and boil the medicine for you." Yi Baixue continued to speak and then began to get busy again.
......
"Pass down the order, all troops set off!"
In the recruit camp where Yi Feng was, Wang Li ordered the army to set out the second day after receiving the military order.
Wang Li's 10,000-strong army immediately took action and began to move north. Their target was the Zhao Country to the north of the Qin Country.
After more than ten days of marching, Wang Li finally led the 10,000 strong army to the border of Qin and Zhao, where they met up with the main army of Qin.
"So many soldiers!"
Yi Feng, Xiao Shan, Xiao Hu and the others looked at the densely packed Qin army tents and couldn't help but sigh.
It was also Yi Feng's first time personally seeing such a large scale army, at least several hundred thousand.
In the past, he could only see such a shocking scene on television.
However, when he thought about the scene of hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting on the battlefield, his blood boiled and his heart surged.
"Everyone, stay here. Do not move around without orders. I will go see the general.”Wang Li ordered, then had the soldiers set up camp in the designated area.
"Brother Yi Feng, let's go. I'll bring you to see my father and grandfather.”After Wang Li gave the order, he came in front of Yi Feng and said to him with a smile.
This time, the commander of the main force was Huan He, with his grandfather Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe as vice commanders.
His father, Wang Ben, was a general under Wang Jian, so he was naturally in the military camp.
Wang Li had led his army here, so he naturally had to pay his respects to Huan He and Wang Jian.
"That's not very good."
Yi Feng became a little hesitant. He did not expect to be able to meet Wang Jian so quickly. Most importantly, he was still just an ordinary soldier right now. Wouldn't it be a little too abrupt to rashly meet Wang Jian and the other highest-ranking generals in the army?
"What's wrong with that? You saved my life before.”Wang Li said as he pulled Yi Feng towards the commander's camp.
After Wang Li and Yi Feng passed through the heavy guards, they finally entered the commander's camp.
"Greetings, General Wang Li. Greetings, Generals.”
After Wang Li and Yi Feng entered the tent, they found that there were already several generals sitting inside. The leader was a middle-aged man.
He was the commander of this army, Huan He.
The other generals knelt on either side of Huan He.
"Subordinate Yi Feng greets the general and the other generals!”Yi Feng also imitated Wang Li's manner and bowed with cupped fists, his expression neither servile nor overbearing.
Huan He and the other generals didn't pay much attention at first. After all, Yi Feng was only wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier.
But seeing that Yi Feng's tone didn't have the slightest bit of nervousness when facing them, neither servile nor overbearing, he couldn't help but take another glance at Yi Feng.
Of course, it was just a glance.
"You're welcome. Sit." Huan He smiled faintly.
"Your grandson is becoming more and more like you.”Huan He smiled at the general on his left.
That general was Wang Li's grandfather, Wang Jian.
Although Wang Jian looked very young, he was already almost fifty years old. Even his grandson, Wang Li, was already twenty years old.
In this era, regardless of whether it was men or women, they would get married and have children very early. Generally, they would already have children at the age of 15 or 16.
Therefore, it was very normal for Wang Jian to have a 20-year-old grandson at this time.
Wang Jian was considered a late bloomer. When King Zhaoxiang of Qin was still alive, he was still a nobody, and it was only after Ying Zheng took over the government that he began to be put in an important position.
Furthermore, Wang Jian's lifespan was also long. It was said that he had lived for more than ninety years.
"Is he one of the four great generals of the Warring States Period, Wang Jian?”Yi Feng's gaze could not resist taking a few more glances at Wang Jian.
"General, you flatter me.”Wang Jian smiled faintly and said very modestly.
Wang Li didn't interrupt. Instead, he pulled Yi Feng and sat down on his knees at the back.
All of this fell into the eyes of Wang Jian, Huan He, and the others, causing them to involuntarily size up Yi Feng once more.
Afterwards, Huan He, Wang Jian and the others continued to discuss, while Wang Li and Yi Feng sat behind and listened quietly.
"Alright, that's all for today. We'll discuss the rest tomorrow.”After a long time, they finished their discussion and then dispersed.
"Grandfather, father, this is my good brother Yi Feng.”As soon as they stepped out of the tent, Wang Li introduced Yi Feng to Wang Jian and Wang Ben.
"This subordinate Yi Feng greets the two generals!”Yi Feng bowed to Wang Jian and Wang Ben again.
Wang Li's father, Wang Ben, was also in the tent, but Yi Feng didn't recognize him.
Yi Feng never thought that he would be able to meet Wang Jian and Wang Ben, two of the most famous generals in history.
Of course, Wang Ben and Wang Jian had only just made their mark since the Six Nations were still alive.
However, following Wang Jian was not afraid of not having a battle to fight. With his strength, he was even less afraid of not earning merit points.
What Yi Feng lacked right now was the opportunity to go on the battlefield and kill his enemies.
"You're welcome." Wang Jian faintly smiled and spoke in an extremely amiable manner. After which, he turned his gaze towards Wang Li, seemingly asking what was going on.
"Grandpa, let me tell you, don't underestimate my brother. He's not an ordinary person.”Wang Li continued.
"Oh?" After hearing Wang Li's words, Wang Jian and Wang Ben couldn't help but look at Yi Feng again, but they couldn't find anything special about him.
"He killed four giant insects with one sword.”Wang Li continued.
"Really?" Wang Jian and Wang Ben's first reaction was disbelief.
Not to mention Yi Feng, this youth who looked a little thin, even among those great generals in their army, there were not many people who could do this.
"I saw it with my own eyes. How can it be fake?”
"Moreover, it was brother Yi Feng who saved me from those four big insects.”Wang Li was afraid that his grandfather would not believe him, so he added.
However, after saying this, his small face could not help but turn red. When he thought of the miserable state he had been in when he fled that day, he felt ashamed.
"Thank you for saving my life, little brother.”Wang Ben, who had been silent all this while, said to Yi Feng with gratitude.
"General is too polite. It was just a coincidence.”Yi Feng lightly smiled and said, not claiming credit in the slightest.
"My personal guards are still lacking a few people as powerful as little brother. I wonder if you're willing to join my personal guards.”Wang Ben said as a way to repay Yi Feng for saving his life.
"Thank you for your good intentions, General. I still want to stay in the new recruit team and hone myself.”Yi Feng didn't even think about it and tactfully refused.
Although it was much safer to join Wang Ben's personal army, and he would be able to enjoy a certain amount of wealth and glory, that was not what he wanted.
Since Yi Feng had the capability to do so, and he had to face the military system of the State of Qin, he wanted to rely on his own strength to climb up the ranks instead of relying on Wang Ben's help.
This way, he could walk further and more steadily.
If he relied on the support of the Wang Clan, he would eventually become a vassal of the Wang Clan. This was not what he wanted to see.
"Good kid, you have ambition." After hearing Yi Feng's words, Wang Ben and Wang Jian didn't get angry. Instead, they admired Yi Feng even more.
"If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time.”Wang Ben added.
"Thank you, General!" Yi Feng once again expressed his thanks.
"I was right about you!" After Wang Jian and Wang Ben left, Wang Li patted Yi Feng's shoulder and smiled.
"A man should be self-reliant!" Yi Feng says with a faint smile.
"What a good man!" The smile on Wang Li's face grew wider. Then, the two of them returned to their own camp.
