When Zhou Bo heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
But Xia He didn't seem to be joking with him, and his face immediately turned green.
"This rebellious son, this rebellious son!"
Zhou Bo paced back and forth. He was very angry at first and wanted to go home right away to catch his son and torture him, but soon his face turned paler and paler.
Collaborating with the enemy is a capital crime!
If it is really reported, I'm afraid the whole family will be implicated!
"Xiao He, my rebellious son may be stupid, but he is simple. He would never do such a thing as collaborating with the enemy. He...he should not know about it."
Observing Zhou Bo's doubtful look, Xia He said,
"Uncle Zhou, I didn't report this matter because of your kindness."
"But collaborating with the enemy is a serious matter, and truth cannot be hidden. If you want to clear your name, you must capture that woman!"
"Yes, yes!"
Uncle Zhou slapped his thigh!
If they hand over the spy in person, it would be a way of atonement.
But if it were discovered, it would be considered as harboring and shielding the enemy.
"Xiao He, there is no time to lose, let's go find that rebellious son right now!"
Zhou Bo was so impatient that he rushed out of the door like a gust of wind.
Xia He thought about it and caught up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the backyard room, I was surrounded by a group of people shouting.
"Brother, are you short of people? I can do odd jobs for you!"
"Get lost! What's the big deal about doing odd jobs? As long as Brother Xia He is willing, I can warm his bed for him!"
"How shameless! You are so ugly, do you want to make Brother Xia He sick?"
Xia He finally reacted.
He became a military household and now has twenty military slaves under his command!
Compared to staying in the cook camp, military slaves were treated better and were safer, and they could escape from their status as slaves.
But the most important thing is, a military household in his early twenties? He has a bright future, who wouldn't want to follow him and curry favor with him?
Some people even rushed over desperately, slid down to kneel in front of Xia He, hugged his thighs, and begged desperately,
"Brother Xia He, please, give me one, I want to follow you!"
The others were stunned.
How could there be such a shameless person! ?
Why didn’t I think of that!
"Brother He, choose me, choose me. He can't even feed a horse. He will only be a burden to you on the battlefield!"
"I have a beautiful sister at home, choose me! Buy one, get one free!"
The crowd was extremely noisy and almost started a fight.
Xia He was stunned. He didn't expect that he was so popular now.
But how long did it take for him to become a military household at such a young age? Less than half a month!
Even a fool can see how fast and exaggerated his promotion is!
Before, outside, the way those centurions looked at him almost swallowed him up!
But Xia He would not accept any of these people.
After just half a month of getting along, I found that most people here are just eating and waiting to die. Do you really want to take them in and raise them like ancestors?
He clasped his fists towards everyone and said,
"Everyone, I have something important to attend to. Let's talk about this later."
Seeing him leave in a hurry, everyone was suddenly extremely disappointed and could only stare blankly at his back.
Following Zhou Bo's footsteps, they arrived at a tent in the military camp.
At this time, Zhou Bo's son was sitting in the room, his face full of anxiety.
After seeing who was coming, he stood up suddenly as if he was bounced by a spring.
When Uncle Zhou saw his son's out-of-control appearance, his heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale in an instant.
Anger asked anxiously: "Where is the woman you brought back?"
However, facing his father's questioning, he shook his head blankly, muttering to himself: "I don't know...where is Xiaoqing..."
Xia He stood quietly at the door and did not step into the house, but the crackling sounds and screams coming from inside were still clearly heard by his ears.
Not long after, Zhou Bo came out with red eyes. One of his hands tightly grasped his son, whose face was as pale as death, while the other hand was trembling slightly.
His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it only turned into a choked sound.
Zhou Bo fell to his knees with a thud.
Seeing this, Xia He hurriedly reached out to help him up, but Zhou Bo refused to get up. He raised his head with pleading eyes and said, "Xiao He, please give me a few days! If I really can't find that woman, I will personally take this beast to the thousand households to confess my crime!"
"Uncle Zhou, you get up first!"
"We can't rush this matter. That woman may not know that she has been exposed. After all, it was pouring rain at the time and I was the only one who saw her face clearly! She might come back!"
He turned to look at Zhou Bo's son and asked in a low voice,
"The most urgent thing is to find out where your son met that woman and what her purpose is."
“Yes, yes!”
But since that woman was a spy for the barbarians, she must not be an ordinary person, so how could she easily leave a trail behind?
After some questioning, Zhou Bo's son was in a state of dismay. Even if he asked about the woman's background, it was probably made up.
…
"It seems that Uncle Zhou and his son are indeed unaware of the situation."
On the way back, Xia He fell into deep thought.
The reason he did not report the matter was not entirely out of compassion.
Even if Zhou Bo's family were beheaded on the spot, it would be useless if the woman could not be found.
It would be better to let them pretend nothing happened for the time being. Who knows, that woman might come back.
"What on earth are these barbarians planning?"
The blood salt dug out from the earth pit was still hidden in his arms.
Is it really because of this thing?
Xia He was full of worries, so he came to the "Anlu" of the guard post, which was the "field hospital" in the ancient army.
Wang Erpang had been knocked unconscious by the barbarian before, but fortunately he had thick skin and flesh, so he woke up at this time, but with a thick bandage wrapped around his head.
Seeing Xia He struggling, he tried to get up but was stopped.
"Er Pang, you should have a good rest first."
Xia He was still somewhat grateful to this little fat boy.
If he hadn't rushed out and hugged the barbarian at that time, it would be hard to say what would have happened next.
"Brother He, I heard that you became a military household?"
"Yes, Erpang, I have reported to the commander. When you recover, you will definitely make a contribution."
This time, Xia He not only sealed the military households, but also the silver and gold that Captain Fan had promised.
The silver needs to be reported to the imperial court and has not yet been allocated. However, the five taels of red gold are already in the army, and one only needs to go to the armament department to collect it.
This is a good material for forging weapons. The previous javelin was chopped into pieces by the barbarians.
Xia He planned to go get the materials after seeing Erpang, intending to make a few heavy javelins.
"Brother He, I want to follow you!"
"Er Pang, you have to think carefully. If you can stay in the army and make meritorious contributions, you may become a military household in the future!"
"I've thought about it!"
"Brother He, I, Erpang, have never been submissive to anyone in my life, but I especially admire you! Following you, I will definitely have meat to eat."
Xia He did not refuse and instructed,
"Heal your wounds first."
