The process took several hours.
Xia He made sure that his whereabouts had not been discovered, and then he returned home under the cover of night.
His wife left the light on at home waiting for him. Xia He pretended nothing was wrong and waited until she fell asleep before he blew out the light and went to the yard.
"Three hundred taels of silver! How many people has this bastard harmed?!"
As for the blood-colored particles in the bottle, Xia He observed them carefully but still couldn't figure out what they were, but they were definitely related to warriors.
"Ask Uncle Zhou tomorrow. He should know."
Now that Brother Hu, the great threat to him, has been eliminated, Xia He can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He was just a small casino owner, but he actually hid his great strength in leather refining.
Could it be that the blood disease is related to the martial arts school?
And why did Brother Hu come from the direction of the military camp? Could it be...
Xia He always felt that there was a shadow behind this that he couldn't see.
It seems that the ability to refine leather is still far from enough.
With such little strength, he is not even qualified to uncover the truth.
With all sorts of random thoughts in his mind, Xia He returned to the room and, looking at his sleeping wife, became more determined.
No matter who it is, no one can disrupt the peaceful life he and Lan'er live in!
The next day.
The sun is scorching hot.
Xia He came to the military camp.
As soon as I stepped into the camp, I noticed something strange.
A group of soldiers were running back and forth in a hurry, and the whole military camp was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.
Xia He felt a little strange and hurriedly quickened his pace towards the cooks' camp.
Along the way, he saw many soldiers busy organizing their weapons and equipment, as if a big battle was about to begin.
As soon as I walked to the barracks gate, I saw a group of new recruits standing under the wall, looking out curiously and nervously.
When Wang Erpang saw Xia He, he quickly wiped the sweat off his face and ran over, saying excitedly, "Brother He, you're here! We're going to fight!"
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Alas, the barbarians are here again! Just last night, another group of barbarians came to attack us."
"A nearby village was devastated. Nearly a hundred people, young and old, men and women, were killed brutally!"
Hearing this, Xia He was shocked. "This group of southern barbarians is simply crazy!"
Before joining the army, the Southern Barbarians attacked a nearby outpost, and later the bodies of the barbarian scouts were found in the mountains.
Now people are dying one after another and even a village massacre has happened. Is there really going to be a war?
Wang Erpang nodded and continued, "That's right! Alas, a month ago, the Jiedushi personally led a large army to the south to support and resist those elite barbarian troops."
"So now there are only a few hundred military households left in the entire garrison. It is precisely because of this that the southern barbarians dare to be so arrogant."
"But Brother He, in a war, there shouldn't be a need for people from our cooking camp to go to the front lines, right?"
"I can't say for sure."
Most of the recruits in the distance also looked frightened.
"What are you afraid of... If we really go to the battlefield and kill three Nanman, we can become a military household. Maybe this is a good opportunity for us to make meritorious service!"
"You think those barbarians are just stupid pigs, standing there for you to chop them! I heard that these southern barbarians are extremely brave and powerful, and their wizards can cast witchcraft to make them invulnerable to swords and guns."
"Is it really that mysterious? Aren't we in charge of cooking and logistics?"
The group of people suddenly panicked.
Many people come to the military camp just to kill time, thinking of getting a few months' salary first. But now they have to go to war just a few days after arriving. How unlucky!
At this time, there was a noise in the distance. Xia He looked in the direction of the sound and saw several soldiers walking quickly towards him.
"Uncle Zhou!"
"Xiao He, I have something to ask of you."
Zhou Bo was wearing armor and holding a hunting bow in his hand. He spoke with a solemn expression:
"The Southern Barbarians have invaded and massacred the people of our Great Qin. The commander has sent people to the mountains to search for traces of the Southern Barbarians! Even if we have to dig three feet underground, we must find these beasts! We must make them pay with blood!"
"You are familiar with this mountain. I want you to lead us."
"Going into the mountains to look for someone?"
Xia He was suddenly shocked.
Zhou Bo sighed, "Logically speaking, you have been in the army for less than a month and are in the cook camp. Even if the barbarians came to attack us, it would not be your turn. However, the terrain in this mountain is complicated and the situation is urgent!"
"If you can find the barbarians' trail and make great contributions, maybe the captain will reward you and make you a military household immediately!"
"Military household!?"
If you want to become a military household in Daqin, you have to make meritorious deeds. Normally, you have to cut off three heads of southern barbarians.
But the battlefield is dangerous, and the southern barbarians are very powerful. If a new soldier wants to gain military merit, he must risk his life!
But normally speaking, most military households are blood-refining warriors, and Xia He is only refining skin now.
If you go into the mountains, you will find out how dangerous it is!
He suddenly fell into hesitation and entanglement.
Zhou Bo smiled bitterly and did not urge him:
"Xiao He, I know this is a bit difficult, but if you don't want to, forget it."
Zhou Bo turned around and wanted to leave.
"Uncle Zhou, I'll go!"
Although it is dangerous, it is also an opportunity!
And there is no need to fight in the battlefield, you just need to find someone.
If you can become a military household through this, your treatment and status in the military camp will be greatly improved, and you can also recruit military slaves freely!
"Okay! Xiao He, on behalf of those people who were slaughtered, I thank you first!"
Seeing Xia He's agreement, the soldiers around Zhou Bo also looked at him with gratitude, and then walked to the front of the cook's camp and growled,
"The captain has ordered us to search for traces of the Nanman. Now the garrison is short of manpower. Is there anyone willing to go? Anyone who finds traces of the Nanman will be rewarded with cattle, sheep, and gold, and will be freed from slavery immediately!"
