Chapter 41 I Almost Forgot My Second Brother
Nangong Min touched his face. The female devil was still a female devil. Even her white eyes seemed to be real and scratched his face painfully.
He didn't dare to ask any more questions. Suddenly, he thought of something and tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart. He said seriously, "If you want to get rid of the name of a criminal slave, you must have a significant and outstanding performance.
For example, if you kill over 10,000 enemies, you can redeem yourself for meritorious service. Another example is outstanding contributions, such as developing an invincible shield, a crossbow that can kill several people with a single shot, or hidden weapons.
After hearing the latter part, Bai Li's brows relaxed. The problem that had troubled her for half an hour was finally solved.
I thought it was so difficult, is this it?
But she seemed to have forgotten something and couldn't remember it for a moment.
Nangong Min couldn't bear to disappoint her when he saw how happy she was about to be free.
"Of course, the premise for doing this is that people are in the military camp."
Otherwise, how can you, an ordinary citizen, defeat the enemy?
You can't even find out where the battlefield is?
Bai Li slapped her forehead and suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she felt something was wrong just now. It turned out to be right here.
But……
Her resistance to the military camp was because the Bai family, who had been loyal for generations, were abandoned by the emperor. She was already giving face to her father by being able to resist rebelling against him.
Now she is required to join the army and fight for the dog emperor?
She can't do it!
Although Nangong Min didn't know what was on her mind, he could guess a little.
Isn't this obvious?
Her whole family had just been exiled here, and asking her to join the army would be a difficult task for anyone.
"Think of it this way. You join the army not just for the emperor, but also for the people of the Great Zhou, for your family, and for your own freedom. Then joining the army won't be that hard to accept."
Bai Li felt that he was like a big bad wolf that kidnapped children, but unfortunately she had no evidence.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Bai Li made a decision.
"I started as an ordinary soldier when I entered the barracks?"
"Well, why don't you start as a captain? That's already an exceptional promotion!"
Although Bai Li is a scoundrel, he is not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for him.
"Okay, when do you report?"
"ASAP!"
"Which team?"
"The Vanguard, you happen to be familiar with it."
How can you not be familiar with it?
I just had an "intimate contact" with her yesterday, and it was unforgettable and will last a lifetime.
"The former captain has been transferred to the archery team, and you are the perfect person to fill the vacancy."
Finally, fearing that Bai Li might be dissatisfied, he added, "I know your abilities are far beyond this position. Only when you demonstrate military merit and then promote me higher can I win the support of the people."
"Okay, then I'll report in tomorrow."
Bai Li thought that the threshing tools had not been made yet. If he finished them tonight, he would have no worries when entering the military camp tomorrow.
"How long will the rest be in the barracks?"
"According to the rules, there are two days of rest each month. They can be accumulated or taken on time. However, they can be cancelled if there are special military circumstances."
"Well, it's pretty humane."
"But supplies are scarce in the army, so it's best to bring your own bedding and clothes."
"Should I bring my own rations?"
Bai Li was speechless. This soldier was... She was too embarrassed to ask.
Seeing Nangong Min's indescribable look, I knew what was going on. Anyway, it would be a good idea to bring all the food and drinks with you.
"Has the Great Zhou Kingdom become so poor?
Military supplies are severely insufficient. What will we do if a war breaks out?"
"Well, the opinion of all officials is to avoid war as much as possible."
"What if they come knocking on our door? Surrender? Cede territory and pay compensation? Submit to us?"
The more Bai Li said, the darker Nangong Min's face became. Although he wanted to refute, he was speechless.
Bai Li was really disappointed with this cowardly country, so why did she come to such a cowardly country?
"I don't care. If an enemy country invades, I will definitely defeat him so badly that he will regret his parents giving birth to him!"
Nangong Min was delighted when he heard this. Yes, he didn’t dare to fight before because he couldn’t win.
No matter how brave and skilled General Bai Zongren was, he suffered several defeats due to insufficient military supplies.
Bai Li has strong individual combat capabilities and can defeat hundreds or even thousands of enemies alone.
Coupled with the mysterious "hidden weapon" in her hand, just throwing one out can kill hundreds or even thousands of people... This battle is not impossible to fight.
Who wants to be a coward when you can win?
His cousin Zhou Yu also meant the same thing, but he was skeptical about Bai Li's ability and was just waiting for her to speak with facts.
"If you can win with the least number of soldiers, then it's not impossible to fight. Otherwise, it's better to be patient and avoid the enemy's attack."
"I know. It's like a fight between children. If you can win, fight. If you can't, run away!"
This is the logic, but why does it sound a bit unpleasant?
It’s okay as long as you can fight, otherwise you will be frustrated to death.
If he could fight, he could gain military merit and have a chance to save his second brother. Bai Li had a vague expectation.
The two happily reached a consensus and separated at the intersection, one returning to the military camp and the other returning home.
Before Bai Li even reached the doorstep, he could hear the bustling noise from afar.
As he walked into the house with his long legs, the family members all fell silent when they saw Bai Li, and then started to make a noise.
"Little sister, your sled harvested an acre of rice in less than half an hour!"
"Li'er, the village chief said, can we make a few more sleds? That way, we can store the autumn grain faster!"
"Li'er..."
The chattering of various excited voices made Bai Li's head hurt.
"stop!"
Bai Li shouted, and everything became completely quiet.
"Well, you guys are too noisy, you can't hear me.
That's good, let me answer them one by one!"
"First of all, that farm implement hasn't been named yet. Dad, please give it a name. Don't keep calling it 'sledge, sledge'. It sounds unpleasant.
And it’s quite simple to do. I can teach you and we can mass-produce it in the future.
Another thing is, I plan to make a threshing tool that will be dozens of times faster than a threshing wheel pulled by an ox. You can also learn how to do this."
Bai Li paused for a moment, then continued, "Finally, I want to tell you that I've decided to join the army. I'll report tomorrow morning. I can't help with things at home. Sorry!"
The whole family was just stunned by Bai Li's words that she could make all kinds of farm tools, but suddenly the topic turned to her joining the military camp. Everyone was confused and stunned.
"W-what? When did you join the military camp?"
Bai Zongren now has a dreamlike feeling of where he is and what is happening.
Bai Li briefly told Nangong Min about what she had agreed to do when she met him just now.
After hearing this, Bai Zongren was overwhelmed with emotion, his eyes were complicated, and he said nothing.
Several generations of his family have served in the military, and he has a sense of mission and belonging to the barracks.
But in his generation, he was suspected by the emperor, his military power was stripped away, and he ended up having his property confiscated and exiled.
It would be a lie to say that you have no resentment in your heart, and it would be a lie to say that you hate someone.
Although he could not agree with the emperor's approach, he could understand it.
Now that my daughter is able to join the military, I hope that with her abilities she can achieve something, bring glory to the country, and bring honor to the family.
The others had different thoughts and didn't know what to say. For a moment, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
