By the time Zhang Han arrived, the ground was already littered with the corpses of the bandits.
"I came late, please forgive me.”Zhang Han half-knelt on the ground and pleaded for forgiveness.
Ying Qiye's face was dark, and it was obvious that he had yet to recover from his anger. Zhang Han didn't dare to get up, and just knelt on the ground.
"Get up. This is not your fault.”After a long while, Ying Qiye slowly recovered, but his voice was still as cold as before.
After receiving the order, Zhang Han stood up and walked over to the dead mountain bandit to examine him.
Then, he angrily reported to Ying Qiye,""Young Master, these people are the remnants of the Six Nations.”
"Hmm?"
"Why would the remnants of the Six Nations appear here? What is Great Qin's army doing?”
When Ying Qiye heard that Zhang Han was a bandit, the anger that he had been suppressing exploded once again.
"Young Master, please calm down. Ever since the Six Nations were destroyed, they hid in the depths of the mountains. The empire wanted to destroy them, but as soon as the empire's army arrived, they would split up and hide among the commoners, making it difficult to discover them.”
Zhang Han smiled bitterly. How could he not want to wipe out all the remnants of the six dynasties?
However, there were countless remnants of the Six Nations in the Great Qin Empire. They usually hid among the commoners, so it was extremely difficult to find them.
"Only this few people?"
Ying Qiye naturally knew this, so he didn't pursue the matter any further. He turned to the villagers and asked,"
There were only about twenty people in total, and this village could accommodate at least a hundred people. He should not be too late. There should not be only this few people left.
The villagers looked at each other. After a moment, a man holding his arm walked out of the crowd.
"Milord, the rest of the people should have run into the mountains. This lowly one and the others are only blocking the bandits from behind.”
Speaking of this, the man couldn't help but reveal a sorrowful expression. There were originally only 30 or so young and strong people in the village. In just a short while, more than a dozen people had died, and this didn't include the women and children who couldn't evacuate in time.
"Who are you?"
"Milord, I am the village chief.”The man replied respectfully.
Ying Ziye understood. Li Zheng was also known as the Village Chief of the Great Qin Empire. Being able to organize the villagers to fight against the mountain bandits so quickly, he was quite talented.
With a light wave of his hand, internal strength with the aura of the Undying Phoenix surged into the villagers 'bodies, helping them recover from their injuries.
Then, he looked at the corpses of the bandits and ordered the system in his heart," System, retrieve the bandit's corpse."
The moment Ying Qiye gave the order, all the corpses of the bandits began to glow with a black light, then turned into dust and disappeared.
Ding!
Recovery of corpse successful. Would you like to convert it into an undead army?
"Transform." It was useless to leave the corpses in the system. It was better to directly transform them into dead sword-shield soldiers.
The villagers felt as if they had seen a miracle and knelt down to thank him.
Ying Qiye didn't care, and said to Zhang Han,""Bring him along and call the villagers back.”
Zhang Han received the order and nodded. He grabbed Li Zheng and disappeared.
Ying Qiye waited for a while more. By this time, Zhang Han had already brought all the villagers back safely.
The team of about 200 people looked at the dilapidated thatched cottages around them nervously.
As the chief said, most of them were the old, weak, women, and children.
"Reporting to Young Master, this subordinate has already brought everyone back.”Zhang Han came to Ying Qiye and reported.
Then, Li Zheng ran over while panting heavily."Sir, the villagers have all been brought back.”
Ying Qiye nodded and said to Zhang Han.
"Zhang Han, take all the supplies from the truck and give them to them to help them rebuild their homes.”
"Yes."
Zhang Han immediately returned to the carriage and moved all the rations and money he had with him into the village, handing them over to the chief.
"Thank you, sir. May I know who you are?”
Li Zheng looked at the food and money on the ground. His eyes were slightly red, and tears kept rolling in his eyes, but they never fell.
"Tell them."
Ying Qiye shook his head and sighed.
Zhang Han took a step forward, and the surroundings immediately quieted down. Everyone wanted to know who this young man who had saved them from danger was.
"This is the seventh son of the First Emperor, Young Master Qi Ye.”
As soon as Zhang Han spoke, everyone knelt on the ground and trembled, not daring to raise their heads. Even if they were inexperienced, they knew that the First Emperor was the ruler of a country, and the son of the First Emperor was not someone they could look at directly.
Amongst them, Li Zheng was trembling the most. He was more knowledgeable than the average villager, so he was more aware of Ying Qiye's status.
"Get up."
Although Ying Qiye had spoken, no one dared to stand up first.
"Get up."
Ying Qiye's tone became heavier. Under the pressure, Li Zheng slowly stood up, but he still did not dare to look at Ying Qiye directly. He lowered his head and waited for Ying Qiye's orders.
Seeing that someone was taking the lead, the villagers also stood up.
"You don't need to panic. This Young Master passed by here and only suppressed the bandits when he saw them causing trouble.”
With Ying Qiye's assurance, the villagers were relieved. After all, there was no need to lie to Ying Qiye.
"I saw that there were nearly two hundred people in the village, but there were only fifty young and strong children. Where did the others go?”
Everyone was silent.
"You should know, and I know as well, that they joined the army and fought for Great Qin. They might still be serving in the army, and some might never return.”
"Now that Great Qin has unified the world, it is all thanks to your families and the soldiers of Great Qin.”
Ying Qiye's words made everyone sad, and tears streamed down their faces.
