Inside the house.
On the bed.
The two embraced.
"Yan 'er, in this world."
"Other than mother, you are the person who treats me the best. Don't worry, I will never let you down.”
Zhao Qi stroked Li Yan 'er's face and gently said.
Just a moment ago, Li Yaner had given a woman's most precious possession to Zhao Qi.
"Brother Qi, are you really going to enlist?”Li Yaner's voice was low and reluctant.
"Yan 'er, although we've always lived in this mountain village and it's very peaceful, this is only the surface of the world. If I continue like this and something really happens, I won't even have the strength to protect you.”
"Therefore, I have to join the army, obtain merits, obtain a title, and stand out.”
"When that day comes, I will be able to marry you openly.”
Zhao Qi hugged Li Yan 'er tightly and said firmly.
"Yes."
Seeing how determined Zhao Qi was, Li Yaner could only nod her head weakly.
At this moment.
Zhao Qi took out two jade pendants from under his pillow.
"Yan 'er."
"This is the jade pendant my mother left me. The two pieces can be put together to form a complete picture.”
Zhao Qi put the two jade pendants together.
On the jade pendant.
Each of them was engraved with the word Zhao.
It seemed that this jade pendant was worth a lot.
"This jade pendant is for you to keep close to your body.”
"This is my betrothal gift to you. Of course, when I become famous in the future, I will definitely give uncle and the others more betrothal gifts.”Zhao Qi passed one of the jade pendants to Li Yan 'er and kept one for himself.
"Yes."
Li Yaner nodded obediently and held the jade pendant tightly in her hand. However, her heart was filled with bitterness as she thought about other things.
......
At the village chief's house.
The village chief was the village chief of this period. He was in charge of coordinating the affairs of the village, and he was also responsible for reporting the recruitment of soldiers by the court.
"Have you really thought it through?"
"It's a narrow escape on the battlefield. Although you're old enough to serve in the military, your mother has just passed away, so you don't need to enlist for three years.”
Li Zheng looked at Zhao Qi with a serious expression.
"Grandpa Li, I've thought it through."
"In the past, it was to take care of Mother. Now that Mother is gone, I have no worries.”
"Moreover, as men of the Great Qin Empire, it is our duty to serve our country and country. It is also the only chance for us Humble Class disciples to stand out.”Zhao Qi looked at the old man in front of him and said.
"Have you told Yan 'Er?" Li Zheng asked helplessly.
"I did."
Zhao Qi nodded, his gaze filled with determination."It's also because of Yan 'er. After so many years, I know that Yan' er's status is extraordinary. She's not from a Humble Class like us. If I continue to be ordinary like this, how can I marry Yan 'er in the future?”
Seeing this.
The Li Zheng could only nod his head.”
"Tomorrow happens to be the day Yong City's camp comes to recruit soldiers. Including you, there are ten young and strong people in our village who have reached the age.”
"Thank you, Grandpa Li."”
The next day.
At the village entrance.
Hundreds of villagers had already gathered together.
Ever since the reform of the Shang Emperor.
When new recruits joined the army, they should be escorted by beauties and be accompanied by strong spirits to show the importance that the imperial court attached to loyal soldiers.
At this moment.
A sergeant from Yong City's military camp brought a few armored warriors to the village entrance.
"Today."
"My Li Family Village has 10 young and strong men of the right age. They will join the army and serve the country.”
Li Zheng held a bamboo scroll in his hand as he spoke loudly to the captain of the Qin army.
"I, Wang Da, represent Great Qin in recruiting new soldiers to serve the country.”
The sergeant solemnly took the document.
"New recruits, step forward."
Li Zheng turned around and shouted at the people gathered at the village entrance.
Instantly.
The hundreds of villagers gave way with respect.
Ten young and strong men who had already changed into black battle armor walked out in an orderly manner.
The one leading them was Zhao Qi.
After changing into battle armor and tying up his hair, the current Zhao Qi appeared even more valiant, bringing with him an invisible killing intent.
"Strong wine."
Li Zheng shouted again.
He answered.
A dozen villagers immediately moved ten tables up and placed them in front of Zhao Qi and the others. A bowl of strong liquor was placed on each table.
"After today."
"You are no longer citizens, but soldiers.”
"You should be loyal to Great Qin, protect the country, and expand the territory of Great Qin.”
"On behalf of the Li Family Village, I salute you for your heroic act of protecting the country.”
Li Zheng had a serious expression as he picked up a bowl of wine.
"Cheers."
Without any hesitation, Zhao Qi picked up the wine on the table and drank it in one gulp.
The other nine people also followed suit and downed the wine in one gulp.
"A sword from a beauty."
Li Zheng shouted again.
He answered.
Ten women in fiery red dresses walked up to the young men with swords in their hands.
They…
They were all women from the village, and some of them were young lovers.
"Yan 'er, you're so beautiful today."
Zhao Qi looked at Li Yan 'er and smiled.
"Brother Qi."
"You must come back alive to marry me.”Li Yaner said with a sobbing tone.
"I will, I definitely will."
Zhao Qi couldn't help but pull Li Yaner into his embrace and gently said,""When I come back, I will obtain authority and come back to marry you openly.”
