"The moment the imperial army besieges the city, what awaits them will not be the emaciated Yan soldiers, but a well-trained and powerful army armed with deadly weapons!"
"We have achieved our goal for this trip. Now, it's time to return to the city!"
"How did the Marquis of Pingyang's guards perform this time?"
As soon as Zhou Cheng finished asking his question...
The more than two thousand soldiers waiting not far away stood up straight, listening intently, their eyes revealing a hint of panic and fear.
Along the way, the soldiers of the garrison gained a new understanding of Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng is indeed exceptionally good to his own people, so he shouldn't break his promise, right?
The leader, Black Snake, glanced at the soldiers and said to Zhou Cheng, "Overall, they're not bad. No one retreated when I told them to charge, and some of them performed quite well afterwards."
Zhou Cheng nodded and looked at Zhou Shiying inside the carriage: "Elder sister, was there anyone in here who bullied you?"
After receiving Zhou Shiying's denial.
Zhou Cheng then waved to the soldiers, saying, "In that case, you may leave."
"Get ready, everyone. Black Horse is heading to the abandoned mansion to meet up with Eldest Sister's personal maid. Once we meet up, we'll set off immediately back to Jiangling City!"
The expected answer relieved all the soldiers. They stood still, glancing at Zhou Cheng's back and then at the group of their own men beside him.
They carried rifles, capable of killing people from hundreds of meters away.
Each person carried a grenade that exploded upon landing.
The bundle was full of mouthwatering dried meat and rations.
The hundred or so people in front of us,
Wearing the finest anti-freeze boots and pure cotton winter clothes, receiving ginger water when cold, being given the most precious medicine to save lives when injured, and even riding in a carriage with the young lady...
Yes.
They all have them.
Along the way, the soldiers witnessed firsthand what dignity truly meant.
Zhou Cheng did not regard these people as servants, slaves, or subordinates who had no human rights and could be sacrificed at will. He would care about whether Black Rat and others were injured, and he would ask if the archers who had been traveling all night could hold on.
What are you all still standing here for?
"Hurry up and leave!"
"More than 10,000 guards of Luo City are about to enter the city. If you encounter them, it will surely cause a bloody battle! Hurry up and leave!" Black Snake shouted when he saw that the guards did not move.
However,
Still, no one moved!
The black snake frowned and immediately stepped forward.
Before he could even utter a rebuke, the young soldier who had been urged to step forward suddenly knelt down and shouted at Zhou Cheng's back, "I'm not leaving! I want to follow Young Master Zhou to Jiangling City!"
blacksnake:"???"
Zhou Cheng, who stopped what he was doing, was speechless.
"You want to come with me to Jiangling City?" Zhou Cheng gave the young soldier a strange look. "Why?"
"right!"
“I want to follow you, not just me, but all the people behind me want to! Although it was only a few days from Yancheng to Luocheng, we saw a different master.”
“When we followed Marquis Pingyang before, we didn’t think of ourselves as human beings. We were content as long as we had food to eat and wouldn’t starve to death. But now I realize that we can actually be human beings.”
“My hometown has no land, no soil. If I go back, I’ll have to divide the food among myself. Food is very precious at home. If I eat, what will my parents eat? There’s no work to do in the winter. Young Master Zhou, please take us in!”
"Young Master Zhou, please take us in!"
