Volume 1 Chapter 41 I don't know how to write the word coward
"I'm here!"
Da Zhuang stepped forward and saluted.
Bai Qi looked at Da Zhuang with satisfaction. This man dared to love and hate, and had courage and insight. He was very worthy of training.
"I will command 3,000 men, and I can appoint three captains under me. From today on, you will be my first captain!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Da Zhuang laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close.
This speed of promotion is simply incredible.
Bai Qi then said to the five thousand soldiers: "All those who just took action will be promoted three levels in military rank!"
"Your Excellency is mighty, Your Excellency is mighty!"
The soldiers were so proud. It was so great to follow such a general!
I never feel frustrated when doing things.
Yang Wudi sighed, young and full of energy!
If you keep being so high-profile, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later.
Yang Paifeng's beautiful eyes sparkled. Such a person can be called a hero!
Don't fear power, just do your best.
The emperor's envoys were all going crazy, and they were all doubting whether they had heard it wrongly.
Bai Qi actually directly rewarded the person who beat the emperor's envoy, and even specially rewarded the person who smashed the emperor's edict.
This is clearly going against the Emperor!
But they dared not say anything or ask anything at this moment.
This is a group of cattle.
After Bai Qi rewarded the soldiers who stood up for him, he said calmly: "Since the emperor wants me to be the general who escorts the bride, then I will go!"
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir!"
The eunuch knelt down immediately before Bai Qi.
He was really afraid that Bai Qi would not go, and in the end the emperor would get angry and he would lose his head.
"Bai Qi! This is a life-and-death situation. If you go, will the First Khan let you go?" Yang Paifeng was anxious.
Yang Wudi also frowned and said, "Bai Qi, I can unite with Qin Zheng and Yue Shenqiang to make a joint petition, and I will definitely be able to protect you! Don't act on impulse."
"Thank you, Commander. Since the emperor and his civil and military officials have made the decision, it cannot be changed."
Bai Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "Isn't it just to go to the Xiongnu? If the First Khan is still evil and is against me, I will kill him!"
Bai Qi did not wait for anyone to persuade him, he jumped on his horse and called out by name: "Erniu, Heiwa, Dazhuang, let's go home and tell our fellow villagers that we are safe!"
He didn't wait for Yang Wudi to persuade him anymore, and directly rushed out of Honghua City with a few people.
Before going to Beijing, he went back first. He hadn't seen Miao'er for a long time and he missed her very much.
I don’t know how that girl is doing?
Yang Wudi stamped his feet and sighed. He could only write a letter to Qin Zheng to tell him about this matter and see if Qin Zheng could come up with any good solution.
The emperor's envoys finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, Bai Qi has agreed to return to Beijing, so they have completed their mission.
However, the sons of nobles in the Imperial Guards all bore this grudge in their hearts.
I thought to myself: This is your territory, when we get to the capital, we will show you how we will kill you!
The eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch hurriedly followed Bai Qi. The princess he served was the one going to marry the Xiongnu, so he had to go to the Xiongnu too.
He still needs to discuss some things with Bai Qi.
.........
Five days later.
Black Wind Ditch.
Meng Feiyu returned home in glory and was hosting a grand banquet.
Meng Feiyu's lover, a woman named Bai, was dressed in brocade clothes and was like a proud peacock. She kept toasting the clan elders, village heads, and other prominent people.
"He's made it! He's made it! I knew the Meng family kid was very capable. He's become a captain of a thousand men so quickly."
"This is definitely the first one in Heifenggou in decades!"
Hearing these people's praise, the vanity of the woman in gorgeous clothes was greatly satisfied.
She turned around and glanced at Miao'er demonstratively, and said with a smile: "Miao'er sister, did Bai Qi write you a letter?"
Miao'er shook her head, her eyes full of worry and expectation. It was the New Year, and Brother Bai Qi should be back.
"It's okay. With Bai Qi's ability, he might even be able to become a centurion during the New Year, which will bring honor to you."
The woman in gorgeous clothes said leisurely.
"I just want Brother Bai Qi to be safe, not a centurion." Miao'er shook her head.
The girl had an innocent mind, but her parents and grandfather heard the hidden meaning of the woman in fancy clothes and felt uncomfortable.
You are a kid from a rich family. Do you think it's interesting to compare yourself with us peasants?
Meng Feiyu also felt upset. He really wanted to tell the woman in gorgeous clothes that Bai Qi might have a higher military rank than him, but today was the day he would return home in glory.
If this were to be said out loud, Bai Qi would steal the limelight.
Just at this moment, a group of people came galloping on horses. Miao'er rushed over excitedly, but the person was not Bai Qi, but a young master named Pian Pian.
"Congratulations to Miss Bai for choosing a good husband! My father said that Brother Meng has a bright future, so he sent me here to congratulate him."
The leading young man bowed to the woman in gorgeous clothes.
The villagers of Heifenggou had never seen such a precious person before. The woman in gorgeous clothes proudly introduced him, "This is the eldest son of our Mei County Magistrate, Mei Xian."
Suddenly, the surrounding villagers were stunned.
"Even the county magistrate sent people here. My God, what a great honor this is!"
"Meng Xibai is worthy of being one of the three great families of our Qin people. Even his branches and collateral branches have such a large network of relationships."
"We in Heifenggou will have to rely on young people like you in the future!"
The elders in the village came over to say hello, and at this moment, Mei Xian, the son of the county magistrate, saw Miao'er at first sight. His heart was moved by her pure and elegant temperament.
"What's your name, young lady? Can I sit next to you?"
Mei Xian was very outgoing and wanted to get close to Miao'er.
"You, stay away from me." Miao'er stood up in panic and hid behind her mother.
"Don't be so polite. My father is the county magistrate. If you have any difficulties with taxes, military service, or corvée labor, you can come to me!"
Mei Xian bullied his way forward and continued to harass him.
There was already a threat in his words. After all, in this era, if one more person was sent to serve in the military or do labor service, your family could be destroyed.
"Sir, my granddaughter is married, and her fiancé is fighting for the country on the front line."
Miao'er's grandfather stepped forward to dissuade the other party, hoping that he would give up.
Mei Xian laughed out loud, "Fiancé, we are not married yet. It's just a matter of drinking a few glasses of wine with me. Why do you have to be so hypocritical?"
As he said this, he pushed Miao'er's grandfather away and reached out to pull Miao'er.
Miao'er was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly, regretting that he didn't bring the big black bear with him when he came to the banquet.
Grandpa Miao'er's face turned red and he reached for the bench. He couldn't bear the bloodiness of the old Qin people.
However, the followers brought by Mei Xian all held the hilts of knives, and they would attack anyone who did anything bad to Master Gong.
Therefore, even though Mei Xian knew that the Qin people were tough and sturdy, Miao'er's beauty still made Mei Xian unable to help but step forward again and want to hold the girl's slender waist.
At this moment, suddenly a sharp arrow flew through the air.
It shot directly through Mei Xian's palm, and blood spurted out.
"ah!"
Mei Xian let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"How dare you, who dares to attack the son of the county lord!"
Mei Xian's followers looked back one by one, and saw several war horses galloping towards them in the distance, led by Bai Qi.
The pupils of the woman in gorgeous clothes suddenly shrank.
Because at this moment Bai Qi was wearing a battle robe, with a black cloak fluttering in the wind, looking like a young man in bright clothes and riding a vigorous horse!
Battle robe, that can only be worn by a general, and he is actually a general!
"Brother Bai Qi!" Miao'er saw the happiness in Bai Qi's beautiful eyes and hurried over.
Bai Qi rushed over on his warhorse, stretched out his hand, grabbed Miao'er's slender waist and carried her onto the galloping warhorse. Miao'er leaned in Bai Qi's arms.
This makes me feel a little safer.
Bai Qi stroked the girl's hair tenderly, and became even angrier towards Mei Xian. They were fighting for their country, but these people were staying behind, bullying the families of the soldiers.
How can I bear it?
Bai Qi waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Kill, kill them all!"
"promise!"
Da Zhuang took the lead and thrust out with the spear in his hand, piercing one of Mei Xian's followers directly through the chest.
"kill!"
Erniu chuckled, swung his sword, and split another follower in half with one stroke. Blood splattered, making the woman in gorgeous clothes shudder all over.
"Bai Qi, he is the son of the county lord!"
The woman in fancy clothes reminded.
At this time, the elders and villagers of Heifenggou finally reacted. They were shocked by the general's robe Bai Qi was wearing, and even more horrified by Bai Qi's audacity.
They came over one after another to stop the war horses.
As the saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as a current manager. Bai Qi wants to kill the county magistrate's son today, and people have many ways to retaliate against them.
Mei Xian felt more confident after being protected by everyone. He said angrily, "Okay, okay, you are just a seventh-rank general, and you dare to ride a horse and kill people!"
He could tell the rank of Bai Qi from his battle robe at a glance, which was an essential skill for aristocratic children.
Just like the rich second-generations of Bai Qi’s era, they could tell whether a girl was experienced just by looking at her.
"I'm killing you because you deserve to die!"
Bai Qi said calmly, "I hate the bullies that run rampant in the village the most in my life!"
As he spoke, Bai Qi used brute force to push the crowd apart, approaching Mei Xian step by step, then grabbed Mei Xian's neck and kicked him up with one hand like an eagle catching a chick.
"I just asked her to have a drink with me. What's the big deal?" Mei Xian defended.
"Really? Then I'll ask your mother to come drink with my men. What do you think?"
Bai Qi grinned.
