“Someone wants to see me? Who is it?”
Zhao Lang was instantly a little curious.
Those who could make Meng Tian call him over alone and command him so much would definitely not be of low status.
Zhao Long quickly thought of Li Shang’s words before, that if he achieved great merits, he might be summoned by the emperor!
The First Emperor of Qin!
Just thinking about this name made Zhao Lang’s heart feel tight.
It wasn’t that he was making a fuss; let’s not talk about his identity as a potential rebel.
Let’s just say that as long as one is an orthodox Chinese, who wouldn’t be in awe at the mention of this name!
That is, the first Chinese ancestral dragon to call himself emperor!
Of course, it is also possible that he was overthinking.
It was indeed good that he had the credit.
But how could anyone else the emperor see him so easily.
Meng Tian, however, only smiled at this time and shook his head, refusing to say so explicitly.
Instead, he digressed and asked.
“I have heard that you have been treating wounded soldiers in recent days?”
Zhao Lang returned.
“Not so much treating, just keeping them from deteriorating as much as possible.”
Zhao Lang didn’t explain anything about the infection or anything like that.
Even Elder Qin, who was a highly skilled healer on his estate, could only understand germs with concepts like small bugs.
How could ordinary people possibly understand?
It would be better to just set the norms and let others follow them.
Meng Tian nodded and said that
“Well done, treat your ministers well so that they will obey you.”
He took this as a means for Zhao Lang to buy hearts and minds.
He did not care whether Zhao Lang was sincere or not, after being in a high position, there were some things that could not be judged simply.
Meng Tian seemed to have thought of something and added that
“However, someone in the army said that you are going to give extra pensions to the brothers who died?”
Zhao Lang’s heart fluttered and he smiled as he said
“This is something that is not true, there is naturally a set amount of pensions for the brothers, the last general does not dare to overstep his bounds.”
Only then did Meng Tian nod his head and say.
“It is good that you have learnt wisely, after becoming a general, you don’t just need to be brave, you need to think a little more about everything.”
The head of a military family has never wanted just a reckless man with superior force!
Wisdom is just as important.
“Yes, General!”
Zhao Lang responded at once, but a quick movement in his mind said that
“Great General, the last general would like to make a trip home, I wonder if it is possible?”
It was just the right time to take this opportunity to propose a trip back.
“Go home?”
Meng Tian was stunned for a moment and said, with a few moments of curiosity
“Isn’t your home in Liaodong?”
“It’s a long way…”
“Oh, Liaodong there is just a manor house of the late general’s family, there are several of them, but the late general’s home is outside Xianyang City.”
“… You do have quite a family business,”
Meng Tian said dryly, but yes, an ordinary family could not afford to support a martial arts practitioner.
“Since it’s Xianyang, you can wait a little longer, when winter starts, this general will let you take a month off then.”
“Thank you, General!”
Zhao Lang said with a bit of excitement.
In this way, the problem of going back was solved.
But he also just noticed that he had been away from Xianyang for nearly half a year, and in a few months’ time, it would already be winter in the north.
Zhao Lang also missed Uncle Fu, Tian Lao, and his two teachers a little.
Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu’s new postures should have been practised to perfection as well.
It would be a good time to go back and test them out.
I don’t know if the big dog, the licking dog, has succeeded either.
How did Wang Tiezhu and the others do with the new farm.
This time when he goes back, he will have to take stock of it and talk to his cheap old dad about what to look out for.
There are only two more years left, so he must be careful.
After a few more instructions with Zhao Lang, Meng Tian let him go.
Looking at Zhao Lang’s back as he left, Meng Tian’s mood was slightly complicated.
This time, he didn’t know why, but His Majesty must travel in secret.
Several ministers could not be persuaded, so they could only arrange for protection in the name of delivering supplies to the army.
If there is another attack, the entire Qin army in Yunzhong County will not have to live.
Just as Meng Tian was thinking about how to highlight Zhao Lang when the time came, a guard came in to report that
“General, there are two soldiers outside with your warrant requesting an audience.”
When Meng Tian heard the report, his face turned cold. The only ordinary soldiers in the army who had his warrant were Fu Su and his men.
He knew why the other party was here at this time, it must be for the previous desertion from the battlefield.
Although the two men were of noble status, this kind of behaviour was not to his liking after all.
He had originally admired Fusu and had taught him a lot about the military when he was in Liaodong.
Now, however, he felt that Hu Hai, who was a bit more reckless and close to Zhao Lang, was instead good.
At once, he frowned and said that
“Let them in.”
At this time, Zhao Lang had been to the wounded soldiers’ camp, and after pacifying a group of wounded soldiers, he returned to his own military tent.
Not long after, Li Shang walked in and said to Zhao Lang that
“Brother Long, I’ve got the list in hand.”
Zhao Lang said, with a slightly heavy face.
“How?”
“Three hundred and twenty-six dead, mostly sons of Liaodong.”
Zhao Lang spoke with a faint sigh, and
“Give me the list and I will arrange it.”
“Also, for those brothers who have recovered from their injuries afterwards, but cannot be in the army, keep an eye on them and give me the list as well.”
Many of them were missing arms and legs, and they could not stay in the army.
But in fact, these veterans who had faced life and death head-on were excellent instructors.
“Yes.”
Li Shang’s eyes had a little more reverence in them, if it was said that he was convinced by Zhao Lang’s force before.
Now it was to be convinced by Zhao Lang’s style of action, saying that
“The brothers are very grateful.”
Zhao Long was slightly stunned and knew where Meng Tian had heard about his approach, so it was these people who were passing it on.
“These things, your own brothers just know, no more words allowed.”
Li Shang froze for a moment, not knowing why Zhao Lang forbade them to say more, but he did not raise his voice to question.
Just do as he was told.
“Yes, Brother Long.”
Just then, someone came in at the door and reported to
“General, Man is outside asking for an audience.”
Hearing this name, a trace of oddity flashed across Li Shang’s face before he simply excused himself.
Zhao Lang hesitated and let the other party in.
Soon, Win Yin Man appeared in front of him.
Looking at Man, who looked a little haggard, Zhao Lang asked indifferently.
“What is it?”
Zhao Lang had a good idea of what had happened when the few people in Fusu fled from the battlefield.
It was thought that a few people would be locked up.
Unexpectedly, the military commander claimed that the few people had gone to ask for help and were not fleeing.
And the military judge actually believed it, so Zhao Lang didn’t pursue it, in the end it was his own people and Ohio’s brothers.
Win Yin Man bit his own lip and said that
“My father is coming here recently, I should be going back with him this time.”
Zhao Lang nodded his head in disbelief and
“Hmm, I see, is that what this is about?”
Win Yin Man hesitated at this point, as if making some kind of decision, and eventually she blushed and said
“Then would you like to come home with me?”
At once, Zhao Lang was stunned.
