This room was once occupied by other soldiers, and some things were still left inside.
Song Laosan searched around and found a dagger with its handle broken under the bed. It was probably used a lot, so the blade was no longer sharp and was covered in rust.
His eyes lit up, and he quickly went over to draw the tattered curtains closed, leaving only a sliver of light to shine in.
Before taking action, he first determined the location: the main camp was to the north, the main gate was to the east, there were countless barracks to the south, and mountains were to the west. He only needed to pass through a few barracks.
Song Laosan squatted against the west-facing wall, scraping the bricks bit by bit with a dagger.
Driven by the belief that he was going out to take revenge, he was in no hurry. He would stop what he was doing as soon as there was any commotion outside.
When someone brought him food, he would lean against the spot where the tampering had been done, tilting his head and acting listless and decadent.
Song Laosan walked to the window, stretched his hand out, and let the wind blow away the brick dust that had been scraped off.
Watching the brick dust in his hand being swept away by the wind, a sinister smile appeared on Song Laosan's lips.
Qiao Lian'er, and all members of the Qiao family, wait for me to come out, wait for me to rise again, and that will be your death day.
You can be smug for now.
He won't let the Guan family off the hook either; he'll crush them under his feet and make them taste what it's like to be an ant.
Kill them all!
"Lian'er, what do you need to go to the garrison for?" Old Mrs. Qiao asked as soon as Qiao Lian'er entered the house.
"The moves and formations I gave my brothers worked. General Guan called me over and rewarded me. There are one hundred taels of silver in here."
Qiao Lian'er was holding a box in her hands, which, when opened, revealed gleaming silver.
"Another reward! That's wonderful! Our Lian'er is really capable." Old Mrs. Qiao was in high spirits.
Although we're used to such amounts of silver, the recognition from the local authorities makes us feel proud.
"Furthermore, General Guan has appointed me as the garrison's military advisor, with a monthly salary of twenty taels," Qiao Lian'er added.
The Qiao family members were stunned, thinking they had misheard and unable to believe it.
"Lian'er, are you saying that you are the garrison strategist, and that General Guan personally appointed you?" Old Man Qiao exclaimed in surprise.
Qiao Lian'er nodded: "Yes."
Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with immense excitement and joy.
"May God bless the Qiao family, may God bless the Qiao family! Your uncles and brothers have earned military merits and been promoted, and you have also become a military advisor, bringing glory to the family." Old Man Qiao's voice was trembling.
Grandma Qiao held Qiao Lian'er's hand: "Lian'er, in the future you will also make meritorious contributions in the army. You and your uncles and brothers will contribute to our great country together."
"General Guan has given you this position, which shows how much he values you and is a great favor."
There were still some things the two elders didn't say.
In this family, the most capable person is Lian'er, who has several sons and several grandsons. Lian'er changed their lives and has a bright future to look forward to.
However, because Lian'er was a girl, she was greatly restricted, which made the two elders feel regretful.
What they regret is not that Lian'er is a girl, but that it is not easy for girls in this world. Even though Lian'er is so resourceful, she can only watch her uncles and brothers shine.
But her brilliance could not be concealed in the end, and General Guan made an exception and appointed a young girl as his strategist.
Suddenly, he was above several of his uncles and brothers.
And this is what Lian'er deserves.
