Through Time Chapter 144

Zhao Long followed the Qin army in front of him all the way to a guarded military camp.

When they reached the place, the Qin army shouted out towards the barracks that

“Ah Er! Ah Er!”

Soon a young Qin soldier came running out of the barracks, smiling, and said

“Chief, you called for me.”

The disgruntled Qin soldier said to the

“What took you so long to come out in the middle of the day?”

Ah Er bent down slightly and said with a smile that

“Chief, it’s not that I was exhausted from the last two days, so I’m catching up on my sleep?”

Qin Jun also knew that the previous city-wide search had indeed not even had much rest.

Pointing to Zhao Lang who was on the side, he said that

“This boy, go into your wu and look after it.”

In the Qin military system, five men are in an army, ten men are in a group, a hundred men are in a general, and two hundred and fifty men are in a master.

Ah Er smiled and agreed with a full mouth.

“Yes, chief.”

Qin Jun said to Zhao Lang, the

“Go in.”

At once Zhao Lang saluted to the

“Many thanks.”

Qin Jun nodded, then turned to leave.

“Chief, you take care!”

Ah Er shouted with a smile.

When the Qin soldier was out of his sight, Ah Er’s smile instantly disappeared, then he gave Zhao Lang a sidelong glance

“Kid, come with me.”

Zhao Lang followed and went into the barracks.

It was said to be a military camp, but in fact it was a farmhouse that had been requisitioned; after all, the main camp was located outside the city.

This was just a replacement resting place.

When they arrived at a small courtyard in the manor, a little soldier was cleaning it.

Seeing Ah Er, he hastened to say that

“Second Brother, you’re back.”

Ah Er hmmed and said:

“Call out the men, here come the newcomers.”

He finished speaking before turning to Zhao Lang and saying

“Boy, this is where we woo.”

At this time the little soldier led the three of them out of the small house on the left side of the small courtyard, looking at Zhao Lang with his face full of excitement.

Ah Er then said, at this time

“But then, the house is small, so not everyone can sleep in it.”

Zhao Lang looked at the small house and thought about the situation on his own farm, it should be used for miscellaneous things.

It was true that not many people could live in it.

And he was not in the habit of sleeping with other men.

So nodding his head, he said.

“I think you’re right.”

Seeing that Zhao Lang was so up to speed, Ah Er’s face only changed slightly for the better and said that

“What’s your name?”

“Zhao Lang.”

“Zhao Lang? And with a name, too.”

Ah Er muttered.

“I see you’re dressed well and you’ve brought your own weapon, you’re a virtuous man, aren’t you?”

In the Great Qin, military merit came first, so many sons of good families who were still well off would bring their own weapons and join the Qin army.

It was used to capture military merit.

Zhao Lang smiled and said.

“There is some surplus money at home.”

Ah Er said, with his head held high.

“I don’t care what you are on the outside, but in the army there are army rules.”

Zhao Lang asked, curiously

“And what are these rules?”

Ah Er looked at Zhao Lang’s still somewhat youthful face and not quite sturdy figure.

With a cold laugh, he said.

“The rule in the army! It’s whoever has the biggest fist, listens to him!”

Zhao Lang froze for a moment and said that

“That’s not very nice, I thought there was a clear-cut hierarchy in the army…”

Not waiting for Zhao Lang to finish, Ah Er impatiently said that

“To the generals who are a hundred generals or more, that’s natural.”

“Us sergeants, how can we be so prescriptive, besides, how do you think I got here as a military commander?!”

Zhao Lang nodded in understanding at once.

Ah Er raised his eyebrows at this time and said that

“It’s good that you understand.”

“I see that you have a nice lance, lend it to me.”

Zhao Lang laughed at this point and

“Is that why you’ve said so much?”

Being directly told off by Zhao Lang, Ah Er, however, did not even blush a bit, but raised his head and said

“It’s good that you know! Bring it here before I have to do anything!”

Zhao Lang shook his head slowly and said seriously that

“Haven’t you thought that if I hold this gun, my martial arts skills shouldn’t be too bad?”

Ah Er said with disdain.

“If the old man wasn’t good at something, I’d be the one sweeping the floor!”

Without saying a word, he punched Zhao Lang in the chest!

Who would greet you when you are fighting in the battlefield?

Zhao Lang’s face, however, revealed a smile.

With a movement of his feet, he dodged the pair’s attack with a side-step.

However, Ah Er did not pause for a moment as the movement in his hand changed.

It went straight towards Zhao Lang’s throat.

The smile on Zhao Lang’s face then deepened.

This routine, he was familiar with it.

A deflection of his head, letting past his opponent’s grip.

He didn’t expect Ah Er to relent and stab Zhao Lang in the eye again.

Zhao Lang did not dodge this time, but gently lifted his foot.

“Owwww!!!”

A miserable scream, from big to small!

Er fell to the ground covering his vitals and oohing and aahing like a little rooster.

“Still fighting?”

Ah Er couldn’t speak, but that hand kept waving.

At once, Zhao Lang looked at the others who were standing next to him with dumbfounded faces.

“Are you guys going to make a move?”

The others looked at Ah Er who was rolling on the ground covering his vitals and shook their heads in unison.

It was the young soldier from earlier who looked dejected, he had thought that with the newcomer coming he would be able to get away with sweeping the floor and sleeping outside the room.

Little did he know that the other guy was even more fierce than Er.

Just then, a voice came from the door of the small courtyard and

“Ah Er, why are you lying on the ground? Can’t even handle a newcomer? No wonder you can only live in this small courtyard.”

“What? Do you want brother to help you?”

Zhao Lang turned his head and saw a big, burly man with two small soldiers looking at them with a mocking expression.

Ah Er struggled to his feet and said that

“Da Niu, it’s not your turn to take care of the old man’s business.”

Zhao Lang, however, thought slightly about the other man’s words and asked towards Ah Er that

“If we beat them, will we be able to switch into the compound.”

Ah Er froze for a moment, that was the reasoning, but they hadn’t tried it either.

Before he could say anything, Big Bull spoke up viciously and

“Boy, what a big mouth! If I don’t teach you a lesson, do you really think that all the Woodsmen are like Ah Er, the punk?”

Zhao Lang thrust his long spear to the side and smiled as he said that

“You guys come along, I’m in a bit of a hurry.”

With a fierce look on his face, Da Niu waved his hand and charged over with the little soldiers behind him.

He just had to win!

Winning is what gives him face!

With an extremely ugly look on his face, Er turned his head to look at the others on the side and said that

“What are you still standing there for!”

“Why don’t you go and help?!”

He may be bullying the newcomers, but he can’t let the other teams bully them either!

The others froze for a moment and pointed in Zhao Lang’s direction, saying that

“Chief, who do we help?”

Realising what was going on, Ah Er turned his head and saw that several of the men from Da Niu were already lying on the ground.

And Zhao Lang asked, thoughtfully

“Is it true that I beat everyone and this courtyard I can live wherever I want?”

Ah Er nodded dumbly.

Zhao Lang walked out at once, and in less than a moment, the whole manor resounded with a chorus of oohs and aahs.
