Inside the tent.
Liu Le responded and left.
Liu Heng sat in the tent and thought quickly.
Before he came, he had already received intelligence from the surrounding counties.
The surrounding counties had all fallen into the enemy's hands.
In the entire western border of the northern border, only Yuyang County, which he ruled, was still under the control of the Qin country.
Thinking of this, Liu Heng looked proud.
Back then, it had sworn an oath to an old man.
They would defend the border at all costs and not let the Hu take even half a step into the border.
Now, he had done it. The other counties had not been defended, but he had!
Thinking of this, Liu Heng had a nostalgic look on his face.
General, did you see that?
Liu Heng didn't let you down!
......
Soon, Bai Ze was led by Liu Le.
He walked into the tent with sleepy eyes.
"Commandant, Bai Ze has arrived."
"Bai Ze, this is the county lieutenant of our county.”
Liu Le introduced them.
Bai Ze woke up a little and cupped his hands at Liu Heng.""Greetings, Commandant."
"Mm, very good. Young and promising!"
Liu Heng nodded with a smile and commented on Bai Ze.
In fact, from the first time Liu Le introduced Bai Ze in the letter and claimed credit for Bai Ze.
Liu Heng had a good impression of this young man because he had killed ten Hu, and because he…Surnamed Bai!
Liu Heng looked at Bai Ze with admiration.
This talent joined the army not long ago and made contributions time and time again.
If he was properly nurtured and placed beside Le 'er, it might be a great help!
As he thought of this, Liu Heng waved his hand and asked for the results and losses of last night's battle.
He smiled and opened the bamboo scroll.
Liu Le smiled and winked at Bai Ze.
He understood that his father was going to reward Bai Ze according to his merits.
......
In the tent.
Liu Heng's expression gradually changed as he looked at the bamboo slips.
From the initial smile, to the confusion, and then to the surprise.
In the end, he stood up and said,""What?"
"Annihilated more than 1,100 enemies, of which Baize's cavalry killed more than 400.”
"And Bai Ze... He even killed more than 200 people? This…"
Liu Heng read the data on the bamboo slip and looked at Bai Ze in disbelief.
Liu Le, who was standing at the side, widened his jaw.
He had been in regret and worry since he woke up in the morning.
He regretted his drinking and was worried about being punished by his father.
Therefore, he did not ask too much about the battle last night.
It was only now that he heard about it from his father.
What kind of shocking actions did Bai Ze and his men do last night?
Not to mention the fact that he was responsible for reporting to the various garrisons and county cities, he was the most meritorious person in this battle.
Due to the timely delivery of information, the enemy's scheme was foiled and Yuyang County was successfully defended.
Bai Ze and his cavalry also returned to the encampment after sending out the information.
Together with the garrison, they would defend against the Hu's attack.
Eighty-two of them had killed more than four hundred Hu soldiers.
Bai Ze alone had killed more than 200 people…
This was…
Liu Le was stunned.
He looked at Bai Ze strangely.
It was as if he was still a human.
......
Liu Heng looked at Bai Ze strangely.
With his many years of battle experience, he naturally saw through the oddity at the first moment.
First, Bai Ze had only joined the army for a few days.
Yet, he was able to kill enemies one after another.
This in itself was an inconceivable matter.
Second, Bai Ze's household registration had been checked before he joined the army.
He was a villager from a nameless village in Yuyang County.
However, where did he get such a powerful sword technique?
He could kill hundreds of Hu cavalry in one battle?
The third and most suspicious point.
After asking, Liu Heng learned that Bai Ze's troops were recruited by him.
However, Liu Heng did not understand. Bai Ze was just a country boy. Where did he get the ability to recruit these soldiers who could fight against five people alone?
Also, the black-armored knight who had gone to the county capital to deliver the intelligence last night was an expert of the Fourth Stage Realm.
It was rare to see such a person in the entire army, but it was said that such a person was by Bai Ze's side.
There were still a total of seventeen people…
All of this made Liu Heng suspicious of Bai Ze's origins and motives.
He had no choice but to re-evaluate Bai Ze with a suspicious gaze.
He was about 20 years old, and his strength was around Rank-7.
From the beginning to the end, it looked very ordinary.
Other than the faint murderous aura on his body.
Another item caught Liu Heng's attention.
It was the Qin sword that Bai Ze wore on his waist.
The moment he saw the Qin sword.
Liu Heng's pupils constricted, and his breathing quickened.
He pointed at the Qin sword at Bai Ze's waist and said with a trembling voice,""Bai... Little friend Bai Ze, can you lend me your Qin sword?”
Hmm?
Bai Ze was stunned.
He didn't understand why the commandant suddenly wanted to see his Qin sword.
Originally, the Qin Sword was the only relic Old Bai had left for him.
Bai Ze didn't want others to observe, but he looked at Liu Heng's eager eyes.
In addition, the other party was his immediate superior, so he could only reluctantly agree.
"Let me say this first. We can only look at it. Don't even think about having any ideas about it…"
Bai Ze took the Qin sword and looked at Liu Heng as if he was guarding against thieves.
Liu Heng nodded with a bitter smile.”
Seeing this scene, Liu Le didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
.......
In the tent.
Liu Heng's Qin Sword trembled.
He touched some details on the sword with his hand.
A look of reminiscence appeared on his face. He had seen this sword before.
However, it was worn by someone else years ago.
"Clang!"
Liu Heng unsheathed the Qin Sword.
The blade of the sword emitted a cold light that reflected on his face.
Liu Heng looked on quietly as if he was frozen.
Suddenly, a crystal-clear teardrop fell from the corner of his eye onto the sword.
However, neither Liu Le nor Bai Ze saw this scene.
After a while, Liu Heng sheathed his sword and looked up at Bai Ze with a meaningful look.
"Where did you get this sword?"
Bai Ze snatched the Qin Sword from his hand, as if he was afraid that Liu Heng would betray him.
He had long noticed that the other party was looking at the sword with a strange gaze, but due to his status as a senior officer, he still patiently let him look at it.
He hung the Qin sword back at his waist and said impatiently,""This is the relic that Old Bai left for me.”
Hearing this, Liu Heng's body trembled.
Old Bai? Legacy?
As expected, the general was still…
Thinking of this, Liu Heng felt a lump in his throat.
Following that, many of the questions in his heart were answered.
That's right, how could his descendant be like an ordinary person?
It was laughable that she still doubted him. It was a sin.
......
"Cough cough!"
In the tent, Liu Le coughed.
He wanted to remind his father to get down to business.
From just now until now, he had been smiling foolishly and in a daze.
What are you doing? Brother Bai's legs are numb from standing. Is it so difficult to get a reward from you?
Only then did Liu Heng come out of his thoughts.
He looked at Bai Ze with a complicated expression and said.
"Pass on my orders.”
"Today, Bai Ze's title is promoted to a fifth-grade doctor, and his military position is promoted to a thousand generals.”
"From now on, you will command the seventh garrison of Yuyang County to defend against the Hu of the grasslands.”
"Bai Ze, are you willing?"
Liu Le's eyes widened when he heard that. Bai Ze had only joined the army for a few days.
It had directly surpassed his years of accumulation and now it had climbed directly above his head.
Even so, Liu Le was still happy for Bai Ze.
Bai Ze took a deep breath and bowed.""Thank you, Commandant."
Liu Heng looked at Bai Ze and nodded. He took a deep breath and his expression turned serious again.
"The Hu's sneak attack failed yesterday, so they probably won't let this matter rest.”
"Perhaps tonight, there will be an even bigger move.”
"The Empire has sent news that General Meng Tian will arrive at Yuyang County tomorrow.”
"So what we need to do next is to guard Yuyang County until the general arrives.”
"Alright, I'm going back to the prefecture capital to take care of the enemy.”
Liu Heng turned around and walked out of the tent.
Liu Le was stunned for a moment and quickly followed."Father, wait for me…"
Liu Heng glared at his son.""Why are you following me?"
"Didn't you ask me to go back to the county capital with you?" Liu Le asked, dumbfounded.”
Liu Heng pondered for a moment and shook his head."
"I changed my mind again."
"From today onwards, you will stay by Bai Ze's side and assist him!”
"Remember, even if you die, you must die before him. Otherwise…Don't blame me for not acknowledging you as my son!”
