Through Time Chapter 171

Zhao Long followed the messenger all the way to Meng Tian’s camp.

As soon as he entered the camp, he saw Meng Tian sitting at the very top.

Several generals were sitting on either side.

“The last general has met the great general.”

Zhao Lang saluted.

Seeing Zhao Lang, Meng Tian revealed a smile and spoke directly to

“Here you are, just as everyone is here, tell us how you broke through the Xiongnu Hu camp.”

The other generals also looked towards Zhao Lang.

There were more than twenty men, many of whom were also new recruits.

To break through the Xiongnu Hu’s camp was just too unbelievable.

Zhao Long was prepared for this and smiled back and

“Back to the Great General, it was actually very simple, it was just the right time, the right place and the right people.”

“The right time, the right place and the right people?”

Meng Tian was slightly stunned, this was the first time he had heard this expression.

“The last general will sneak in at night, then use a fire attack to create confusion, then let the others bluff outside.”

Zhao Lang spoke out his arrangements one by one.

The other generals also listened and nodded their heads.

These methods, which they all knew as well, were indeed the best option.

But at that moment, a hint of lonely doubt rose in Meng Tian’s eyes.

He was a great general, so he naturally knew that this was indeed a good solution.

But it would not be easy to break through so many people in this way.

Zhao Lang continued at this point, saying

“It’s just that, with so few soldiers, it’s not easy for me to break through the other side in this way.”

“But at that moment, heavenly thunder suddenly descended from the sky, and the last general had an inspiration to shout that I was the messenger of the Heavenly God on the pretext that I was the messenger of the Heavenly God.”

“The Xiongnu Hu were immediately distraught and had no desire to fight.”

“The last general, thus, was able to break the other side.”

This was the reason Zhao Lang came up with.

So many people had heard about this incident of Lei Sheng’s, so it was definitely impossible to hide it from anyone, so it was better to find a reason to take the initiative to say it out.

When the others heard this, they froze for a moment, and some generals could not help but say that

“There is actually such a strange thing?”

Zhao Lang returned with a smile, and

“The last general also found it strange, I think it must be because the Great Qin Kingdom is prosperous and has its own gods to bless it.”

Everyone nodded involuntarily, for there was no other reason to explain it than that.

Only Meng Tian thought about something and asked, with a smile on his face.

“Why are you not afraid?”

I am afraid that any ordinary person would be startled if he suddenly encountered a thunderstorm.

Zhao Lang calmly returned that

“Great General, the last general is full of righteousness and does not fear ghosts and gods.”

Hearing this answer, Meng Tian revealed a smile that

“Come, men.”

At once a Qin soldier brought up an extremely formal bronze token, and a document.

Meng Tian took it and handed it to Zhao Lang, saying

“From today onwards, you are an official doctor and general of a thousand men of my Great Qin.”

“Receive seven hectares of field and seven mansions of land.”

The other generals at the side also showed smiles.

Zhao Lang reacted at this time, so this was a knighting ceremony for him.

“The last general thanks the general.”

Meng Tian smiled at this time and said

“It is due to you.”

“Do you have any more requests?”

Zhao Lang said, with a twitch in his heart.

“Back to the Great General, the last general would like to return to the village to recuperate for some time.”

He had been away from the stately home for more than a month, so he could go back for a visit, just in time to take Go Die and the others back with him.

Meng Tian nodded with the utmost understanding, what teenager wouldn’t want to return to his homeland with honour, and smiled.

“After being promoted to the title and gaining military honours, it’s time to go back and have a look.”

“Well, I’ll grant you half a month’s leave.”

Zhao Lang returned at once, and

“Thank you, Great General!”

Meng Tian waved his hand with a smile and

“Alright, it’s late, let’s all disperse.”

Everyone then rose and said goodbye.

When everyone had gone, Meng Tian spoke to

“Come out.”

At once, a tough Qin soldier came out from behind the tent and came to Meng Tian, the

“Great General.”

Meng Tian asked.

“Are Zhao Lang’s words false?”

The elite Qin army returned that

“The last general had only just arrived at the Xiongnu Hu and their back roads with his brothers when he saw thousands of men running across the grassland.”

“A few were captured alive, and they seemed to be possessed, praising the gods of heaven under their breath.”

“But nothing could be asked.”

Meng Tian listened and pondered for a while, and said that

“It’s just that it seems that what Zhao Lang said is true.”

“This General will send separate letters to His Majesty and Wu Cheng Hou to report this great victory.”

“But the matter of Heavenly Thunder should not be mentioned from now on.”

The elite Qin army led the way at once.

Only then did Meng Tian reveal a smile that

“There is a successor to the military family.”

“Well, it’s also time to put that boy Meng Zhi into the army for some exercise.”

“Someone, send a letter to Meng Yi.”

Early the next morning, the whole army marched off.

It took a day’s trek to get back within the Great Wall.

The various sections also returned to their camps.

Zhao Long had to make arrangements to go to their deaths and returned to camp a little later.

As soon as he entered the entrance to the camp, Hu Hai, who was standing by, suddenly said that

“Brother Long, wait.”

Zhao Lang looked at the other man, wondering what kind of trick he was going to play that

Just then, he heard Hu Hai say aloud that

“A thousand men will return Long to camp, why don’t you all greet him quickly.”

In a flash, the original hundred-man squad in the camp quickly assembled together in accordance with their usual training.

Then in unison, they said.

“Greetings, General.”

The gaze that everyone looked at Zhao Lang could no longer be described as respectful.

Rather, it was reverence.

In the crowd, the feelings of the few people in Fu Su were even more extremely complicated.

They knew that a month or so ago, Zhao Lang was just a Qianxu recruit from the county.

Now, he was already a general of a thousand men in the border army, with the rank of official doctor!

And all this was earned by Zhao Lang with real battle achievements.

Throughout the history of the Great Qin Empire, such a rate of promotion was unheard of and unheard of!

Seeing this scene, Zhao Lang could not help but smile and say that

“Let’s all disperse, I’m going home tomorrow for half a month, so you all have a good rest too.”

But Hu Hai, who was on the other side, was in a hurry.

“Brother Long, don’t let them disperse yet.”

Zhao Lang said in confusion, the

“You still have things to do?”

Hu Hai nodded, then raised his centurion’s sign high in the air and exclaimed with gusto that

“The Centurion is here, why don’t you all greet him!”

At once, all of them said, in unison

“Greetings to the Centurion!”

Hu Hai burst into laughter and

“Shout twice more!”

Without waiting for the crowd to shout out, Zhao Lang laughed and slapped Hu Hai on the head, the

“Nonsense! Let’s all disperse!”

It felt like this kid called out for people, not for him at all.

Rather, he wanted to be imposing himself.

Hu Hai rubbed his head and said with aggravation that

“Brother Long, I followed you to birth and death, what’s wrong with me being mighty for a bit.”

Zhao Lang said in a good-natured manner.

“Get lost.”

At once, Hu Hai took the sign of his own centurion and walked over towards the few people of Fusu

“Come, come, come, brothers, let’s all have a look.”

Fu Su and Gao suddenly looked hard to understand, they had traditionally looked down on Hu Hai.

But never did they expect that Hu Hai would actually get a centurion this time by virtue of his military achievements.

Only Ying Yin Man ignored Hu Hai, but with a movement of his eyes, he ran towards Zhao Lang.

Blocking Zhao Lang, with a beak, she said

“Can you, tomorrow, take me home with you.”
