Kill the refugees and earn military merits!
Wang Li had never thought that the rumors he had heard in the army would actually happen.
Moreover, it was his subordinate!
Clenching his fists tightly, Wang Li's tender face was filled with anger!
"General Yan, I want to know what is going on.”Wang Li coldly glanced at Hundred General Yan, who was in pain from losing his right arm, and asked.
"General, these people are spies from the State of Zhao!”
"Sons, quickly kill him!”
Bai Jiang Yan's expression changed slightly as he spoke in a restrained manner.
Hearing this, the Qin soldiers quickly aimed their bows at Xia Lan and Gongshiju.
However, Wang Li did not say anything.
He looked at Xia Lan, who was not far away, and then at Gongshiju, who was injured and unconscious.
"Military doctor, save him!"
"Yes!"
Among the Qin soldiers, a soldier carrying a medicine box hurriedly ran to Hundred General Yan's side, ready to treat him.
"I'm talking about saving those two people!" Wang Li said coldly.”
Hearing this, the military doctor was stunned.
After a moment of shock, she quickly ran towards Xia Lan and Gongshiju.
While the military doctor was treating Xia Lan and Gongshiju's wounds, Wang Li slowly walked up to Hundred Generals Cliff.
"General…General."
Facing Wang Li's gaze, Hundred General Yan panicked.
"General Yan, I heard rumors that the Great Qin soldiers killed refugees to cheat military merits. Have you heard of it?”
" This..." Bai Jiang Yan's face suddenly turned pale. He did not know how to answer.
Moments later-
He suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Li.
"General, this general…this general knows my mistake!”
"All of this is my doing, it has nothing to do with my soldiers. They are only following orders!”
Seeing this, Wang Li nodded in satisfaction and said,"You dare to admit what you did and didn't quibble.”
"Do you have any last words?"
Bai Jiangyan looked at the injured Xia Lan and Gongshiju and said after a moment of silence,""General, I have a few words to say. I wonder…"
"Tell me." Wang Li said calmly.
"I am General's subordinate. If I do this, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to General.”
Hearing this, Wang Li frowned slightly.
Great Qin ruled the country according to law, and many of the laws were extremely strict.
This Hundred General Rock's method would bring him a lot of trouble.
Seeing that Wang Li was in deep thought, Bai Jiang Yan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he said in a low voice,""General, I know that I can't escape the death penalty this time. Why don't…why don't I kill these two people now and save General from this trouble!”
"When the time comes, I only hope that the general will give me a name of dying on the battlefield and let my family be exempted from the punishment of being implicated.”
Bai Jiang Yan's voice was not soft. Xia Lan, who was receiving treatment from the military doctor, naturally heard it clearly.
He quickly grabbed the sword beside him, ready to resist at any moment.
"Haha…"
However, Wang Li smiled and looked at the Hundred Generals Rock.
"Hundred Rock Generals are really good at scheming."
"You killed the people of Great Qin, but I recorded your death on the battlefield. When the time comes, your family will be exempted from punishment and enjoy wealth.”
"Then what should we do with those old Qin men who were killed?？”
Bai Jiang Yan's face turned even paler when he heard Wang Li's stern rebuke.
He knew that his bewitchment had failed.
"General Yan, this general has a noble title and can withstand the punishment of being implicated. Therefore, this general is not afraid of this trouble.”
As he spoke, Wang Li slowly raised his right hand and said coldly,"Military Judge, listen up. Hundred General Yan has disregarded military rules and killed civilians to obtain military merits. According to Great Qin's laws, he will be executed on the spot!”
"Yes!"
……
The sunrise.
Wang Li stood on a small hill and looked at the rising sun.
Xia Lan slowly walked behind him.
"How do you feel?"
Wang Li asked softly.
"Why didn't you listen to that person's suggestion and kill the two of us?”
Wang Li slowly turned around and looked at the child who was a few years younger than him.
Although Hundred General Rock was only a hundred general, his title was graceful.
However, these early military merits were all earned on the battlefield.
The child in front of him, who was at most eleven or twelve years old, was able to cut off one of his arms.
"How should I address you?" Wang Li asked with a smile.
"Lan."
Xia Lan did not reveal her surname.
During the Warring States Period, having surnames represented nobility.
Xia Lan knew nothing about her surname, so it was better not to say it.
"My name is Wang Li."
"I've heard of it." Xia Lan narrowed her eyes and looked towards the east as she muttered.
"Oh?"
Wang Li was curious.
If his father and grandfather were well-known, he was still an unknown figure.
How could this person in front of him have heard of him?
Seeing that Xia Lan seemed unwilling to continue, Wang Li did not ask further.
"Before Uncle Liang died, he said that he was still an old Qin man and did not want to be treated as a spy of the enemy country…"
Xia Lan said in a deep voice. She slowly turned around and cupped her hands at Wang Li."Thank you, General."
Wang Li shook his head with a bitter smile." I'm also responsible for what happened to you this time. There's no need to thank me."”
"After mealtime, Wang Li will send someone to send the two of you back.”
With that, he turned around and returned to the camp.
Looking at his back, Xia Lan's expression was a little complicated.
His father's fate was unknown, Uncle Liang and the other two old hunters had died tragically, and he and the others had suffered…
Was it a personal mistake?
No, it should be the fault of this era.
……
Shilitun.
Two months had passed since the hunt.
The cold winter had receded, and everything was revived.
Ever since the spring plowing, Xia Lan could see the growing worry in her mother's eyes.
Because after the spring plowing, he would have to go to the county to serve as a night watchman.
According to rumors, after the last attack on Zhao, the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was preparing to start another war this year.
The previous batch of soldiers had been conscripted and left after a short period of training. It seemed that Xia Lan's batch would not be able to escape either.
"Lan 'er."
In the small courtyard, the woman called out softly as she watched Xia Lan practice her sword.
"Mother."
After putting away her sword, Xia Lan walked up to the woman with her face covered in sweat.
"Lan 'er, it should be the next few days. Mother has prepared a pair of new shoes for you. Try them on.”
As the woman spoke, she handed over a new pair of brown cloth shoes.
Seeing this, Xia Lan's face was filled with joy. She quickly took the brown cloth shoes and put them on.
After taking a few steps, he looked up at the woman and said with a smile,
"Mother, it fits and is comfortable!"
The woman chuckled. She looked at Xia Lan, who was already a little taller than her, and felt gratified.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
The melodious sound of a copper chime suddenly spread throughout the entire Ten Mile Village.
Hearing the sound of the copper chime, the woman's expression changed slightly.
She understood that the village was gathering the villagers of the appropriate age to begin the night shift.
