Return to the central command position.
The army doctor quickly bandaged Zhao Cha's wounds, and Huan Yi, seeing that the situation in the city had turned against him, handed over command to his subordinate general Xi Gong, and then got up and went to Zhao Cha's side.
Huan Yi asked the military doctor with a concerned expression, "How is Envoy Zhao's health? Is he alright?"
The military doctor carefully cleaned the wound on Zhao Cha's neck, then skillfully wrapped it with a bandage, and replied, "Although the wound on Envoy Zhao's neck is deep, fortunately it did not hit any vital organs. As long as he rests well, he should not suffer any major long-term effects."
Huan Yi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then turned to Zhao Cha and said, "Envoy Zhao, I am relieved that you are alright. You are not only wise and brave, but also quite courageous. It is truly a blessing for our Great Qin to have an envoy like you."
Zhao Cha forced a smile and replied in a weak voice, "General Huan, you flatter me. It was fortunate that you shouted, otherwise I would probably be dead already."
"No wonder the General sought advice from the Grand Commandant. It's because Bai Wuni is too patient. I've tried everything, but he's still holding back."
Zhao Cha was filled with resentment, then sighed, "I was just about to draw my sword and commit suicide when I heard that my Qin army was attacking their royal court, and I held back some of my strength... avoiding the vital points."
Huan Yi looked terrified. He raised his hand and patted Zhao Cha on the shoulder, saying, "I anticipated that Bai Wuni was patient and also thought of your last move. That's why I broke the agreement. I didn't want you to die here for no reason."
Zhao Cha nodded gratefully, secretly rejoicing that he had escaped death and indirectly gained the big boss's approval.
Once he returns, even without the reward, he will surely rise rapidly in rank.
Unfortunately...
I can no longer leave a mark on history, nor can I bestow titles and privileges upon my wife and children!
Thinking of this, Zhao Cha cursed viciously a few more times, "Damn Bai Wuni, you call yourselves ravenous foreign tribes, you cowards..."
A string of foul language poured out of his mouth, making Huan Yi burst into laughter as well.
Once upon a time, weren't their helplessness towards Bai Wuni just like that of Zhao Cha before them?
As night slowly descended like ink, the clamor of war gradually receded like the tide. Qin soldiers, in groups of three or five, like ghosts emerging from hell, helped each other struggle out of the pile of corpses, their faces bearing victorious smiles as bright as spring flowers in bloom.
Even though they were covered in wounds and their bodies were exhausted from a day of fighting, making them stagger, they could not hide the brightness and pride in their eyes.
"The Qin army is mighty!"
"The Qin Kingdom is mighty!"
"The unification of the world by the Great Qin is just around the corner!"
Upon seeing this scene, Zhao Cha, who was standing beside Huan Yi, was overwhelmed with emotion and could not contain himself. He couldn't help but shout at the top of his lungs.
"Envoy Zhao, please don't be impatient, lest you reopen your wound!" Huan Yi's face revealed an undisguised pride as he hurriedly tried to dissuade Zhao Cha.
Zhao Cha, however, paid no heed to this and, with a face full of excitement, exclaimed like a child, "General, we civil officials have long resided in the court, and today we finally have the opportunity to witness the bravery of our Qin warriors. We are truly overwhelmed with excitement."
The court officials all knew that the Qin soldiers were incredibly brave, but that was only a vague concept. How could it compare to witnessing such a breathtaking scene firsthand?
Huan Yi's pride grew even stronger. He laughed loudly, his voice booming like a great bell: "With such brave soldiers, a king who is diligent and ambitious, and ministers like the Grand Commandant and the Envoy of Zhao, what worries does my Great Qin have about not achieving its great cause?"
"I ask you!"
Huan Yi exuded an aura of overwhelming power and dominance, and his voice, like thunder from the heavens, roared deafeningly: "Who can stop the might of my Qin state?"
Zhao Cha was so excited that he couldn't express his feelings when Huan Yi compared him to the Grand Commandant. "How can I, your humble servant, deserve such praise from the General?"
"this...."
Zhao Cha wanted to express his excitement but didn't know how. Just then, he saw the sword that Huan Yi had on his waist and drew it out in an instant.
"Stop! What are you doing, Envoy Zhao?!"
Huan Yi was completely bewildered when he saw Zhao Cha place his sword under his neck.
Zhao Cha shouted, "My Qin warriors will fight to the death without regret. I, Zhao Cha, have come here on the mission of the King and the Grand Commandant. How can I fail them? I, Zhao Cha, will slit my throat now and prove Bai Wuni's crimes."
Huan Yi slapped the sword out of his hand, his face full of speechlessness. "I've fought on the battlefield for decades, and I've never seen anything like this..."
He wanted to say "idiot," but thankfully he swallowed it back.
As Zhao Cha's excitement subsided, he realized the strangeness of his behavior and couldn't help but give an embarrassed smile.
"Commander, this is the head of that stinking bastard Bai Wuni, we've chopped it off!" Zhang Han held up Bai Wuni's glaring head, followed by Wang Li and Meng Tian.
"Okay, okay!"
Huan Yi glanced at the head in his hand and immediately burst into laughter.
"Quickly send someone back to Xianyang to report to the King and the Grand Commandant that Kucha has been destroyed and fallen into the hands of our Qin state!"
"We sent messengers to inform the thirty-five tribes of the Western Regions that Kucha was disrespectful and had killed our Qin envoy, and that Qin had sent troops to destroy it."
Huan Yi's two seemingly casual remarks ultimately sealed the fate of Kucha.
Zhang Han chuckled, casually tossing Bai Wuni's head to the ground. He rubbed his hands together and said with a grin, "Commander, now that we've captured Kucha, shouldn't we send some foreign women back to the King and the Grand Commandant?"
Huan Yi slapped his forehead and hurriedly said, "You have a good memory, kid. I almost forgot about this."
Although he had previously harmed the women of the royal court under a pretext, his methods were ultimately dishonorable.
The matter of Li Xin is still fresh in their minds, so they have no choice but to be fearful, not knowing how the wicked husband will punish them.
However, this foreign woman was indeed different. Her appearance had a unique charm compared to Chinese women. They couldn't keep her to themselves, so they had to find some stunning beauties for the two of them to take back!
That way, it can also shut the wicked husband up. After all, he's beholden to those who feed him and accept his gifts. I don't believe that with such beauty as a bridge, the wicked husband would really punish them severely.
Zhang Han laughed and said, "Commander, leave this matter to me. Meng Tian and Wang Li are still young and I'm afraid they are not up to the task."
Huan Yi glanced at the two who had just lost their virginity, a hint of distrust flashing in his eyes. Compared to their naivety, Zhang Han, the old fox, was more reliable.
"Go and take care of this matter immediately!"
"The chosen person must be good-looking and, moreover, a person of impeccable character!" Huan Yi repeatedly instructed.
A fiery glint flashed in Zhang Han's eyes. He immediately bowed and accepted the order, then turned and strode away.
"The best ones are for the King and the Grand Commandant, the rest are all mine...heh..."
