Daqin: I can become stronger by killing the enemy

Changxingli, where Baizhong is located, belongs to the North Pavilion of Weishui River.

The woman named Yu'er, whose full name is Zhou Yu, is located next to Changxingli, in a place called Changleli. The distance between the two places is not far.

Bai Lan had come to Changleli often to visit. As soon as she walked into the inner gate, she greeted the inner prison gate here warmly, and then led Bai Zhong inside.

The brother and sister soon arrived outside a courtyard, saw that the door was open, and walked in directly.

The environment at Zhou Yu's home is much better than that at Bai Zhong's.

The gates and walls here are complete, the yard is quite large, and there are some mulberry trees planted, which fits the description of "a five-acre house filled with mulberry trees".

There was also a woman in the yard, pounding rice with a stone mortar.

The sound of the stone mortar moving up and down was a bit noisy. The woman had her back to the door and did not notice that two people came into the house.

"Yu'er!"

Bai Lan patted the woman's shoulder lightly.

The woman was Zhou Yu. She finally realized that someone was coming behind her. She turned around and was surprised to see a person she had missed for several months standing in the yard. Her longing for her suddenly emerged.

"Yu'er!"

Bai Zhong recognized who she was based on the memory he inherited.

Zhou Yu has a delicate appearance and fair skin. Even from the perspective of modern people, Bai Zhong is a rare beauty.

She is not the tall and thick figure who often does farm work. She is tall and slim. Her hair is fixed with hairpins, indicating that she has grown into a hairpin and is slim and graceful.

"Why are you back?"

Zhou Yu trotted up to Bai Zhong, but quickly stopped and looked at him dreamily, her pretty face instantly turned crimson.

Bai Zhong said softly: "I just finished the battle and came back to see you."

"Brother, you can't do this."

Bai Lan was anxious for him. The eldest brother just didn't know how to coax girls, so he said: "Yu'er, the eldest brother is coming to propose marriage. He said that he will marry you when he comes back. From now on, you will be my Sister-in-law Qiu."

This girl's direct words made Zhou Yu's pretty face blush even more.

Then she thought of something, her blush quickly faded away, and she was frowning slightly, looking very struggling when she should have been happy.

"No...no!"

Zhou Yu said these two words with difficulty.

She said this as a refusal.

Bai Zhong was startled and asked subconsciously: "Why not?"

Didn’t they make a private decision for life?

"Because I said no."

At the back of the yard, the half-open door of the house was pushed open, and two men came out.

The person who spoke was the man walking in front. His name was Mou Le. He was the head of the North Pavilion on the Wei River. He was in his early thirties. His father had made military exploits and was a fifth-class doctor.

Mou Le also has a brother-in-law who is a county captain in Xi County. With his connections and title, he became the pavilion chief a few years ago.

In Bai Zhong's impression, Mou Le's reputation in the North Pavilion of Weishui River was not very good, and he was not a good person, yet he actually appeared here.

The man behind is Zhou Yu's father, his name is Zhou Shi.

As his name suggests, he is an honest person.

"Aweng."

Zhou Yu walked behind his father, not daring to face Bai Zhong again.

Bai Zhong asked: "What does Mou Tingzhang mean when he says this?"

"Are you the Baizhong from Changxing who performed meritorious service on the battlefield and never changed his title?"

Mou Le also heard about Bai Zhong.

He inherited his father's title a long time ago. As a doctor, he did not need to serve. To use later words, he was just a dandy and didn't have much feeling for the title of a knight who killed enemies in the army.

The doctor was still on duty, so Mou Le didn't take Bai Zhong to heart.

"That's right!"

Bai Zhong nodded.

Mou Le smiled disapprovingly and said: "It's really you. I heard that you and Yu'er have a good relationship. Now I can cut off this miss. She will soon become my eighth concubine. Yu'er, are you right?"

Zhou Yu lowered his head and did not dare to respond, tears rolling in his eyes.

"What do you think, Shifu?"

Bai Zhong asked again.

Shifu means uncle.

Zhou Shi glanced at Mou Le, thinking to himself that he could only feel sorry for Bai Zhong, and sighed: "We discussed it just now, and I agreed."

"Father, how could you do this?"

Bai Lan couldn't believe this was true.

She hadn't been here for more than ten days, so why had she suddenly changed?

It wasn't like this before.

Bai Zhong was not angry and asked calmly: "Yu'er, what happened?"

This matter does not seem that simple. Mou Le is not a good person. Under normal circumstances, Zhou Shi would not agree.

Zhou Yu didn't say anything, and held the corners of his clothes hard with both hands.

Bai Zhong was sure that something happened at home.

Zhou Yu is a well-known beauty in the pavilion. Beauty is a disaster, so it is normal for others to take notice of her.

If it were the previous Bai Zhong, he might have impulsively taken the person away, but now he couldn't be impulsive and said casually: "I understand, Lan'er, let's go back."

"Brother!"

Bai Lan refused to leave, but was dragged out by Bai Zhong.

Mou Le thought that Bai Zhong was afraid of him, so he laughed and looked at Zhou Yu with greedy eyes.

Zhou Yu was so scared that he hid behind his father.

Zhou Shi was helpless.

Outside.

Bai Lan was confused and said: "Brother, I think Yu'er was forced."

Of course Bai Zhong could tell that she was being forced, and said, "But we don't know anything, how can we help her?"

According to what he knew, the only person who could make Zhou Yu worry was his father. His mother died young and he had no other brothers and sisters. The problem should lie with Zhou Shi.

Bai Lan worriedly asked: "What should I do?"

"Let's go back first and find out what happened to Shifu before we can find a solution."

Bai Zhong had no intention of ignoring it. Zhou Yu was his childhood sweetheart, and he had made a lifelong commitment to help her.

Facing Mou Le, who is the chief of the pavilion, the siblings have no choice for the time being.

They originally came with expectations, but in the end they could only go back unhappy.

——

The people who went to Chili to deliver the royal edict to Baizhong and read out the reward finally returned to Xianyang and told Ying Zheng about the defeat. Because of the defeat, the edict could not be passed on, so the issue of the title had to be shelved.

.

Bai Zhong had no choice but to wait for the title he longed for.

At this time, Ying Zheng's face was gloomy. He looked at the latest military information about Yi'an on the case sheet. Huanjue's main camp was destroyed. Of the 100,000 troops who went to attack Zhao, only more than 20,000 were able to return to Shangjun.

Han and Wei suddenly sent troops to rescue Zhao. Meng Wu and Wang Ben attacked Yecheng and Panwu, but all ended in failure, and the army had to retreat.

Huan Jue, who was the first to be defeated, had not rushed back yet, and all kinds of military information had been sent to Xianyang at high speed and placed in front of Ying Zheng's case.

Ying Zheng looked at the people in the hall and said coldly: "Tell me why we lost this battle?"

"Fanwu and Yecheng are fine. Han and Wei sent troops to rescue Zhao. I can understand."

"Of the 100,000 troops led by Huanjue, only more than 20,000 people can come back."

"After such a serious defeat, is Huanjue a loser?"

At the end of the sentence, Ying Zheng slapped his palm on the table in front of him, causing the bamboo slips to scatter all over the floor.

He could accept defeat, but he could not accept such a complete defeat.

A hundred thousand troops were almost wiped out. He could not accept a defeat of this scale.

No matter Wang Jian, Li Si, or even Prime Minister Wang Wan, they stood with their hands clasped, and no one dared to speak.

"Report to your Majesty, General Huanjue...is back!"

The first person to break this atmosphere was Zhao Gao, who hurriedly walked into the main hall.

After he finished speaking, he stood there nervously, fearing that the king would anger him.
