With 100,000 elite soldiers at the start, what should you call me?

……

After the fall of Jianning Prefecture, Wang Qi was dug out from a pile of corpses.

He was very lucky; the city wall had been blown up, and several of his personal guards seemed to be blocking his way.

He was simply stunned by the shock.

When I woke up, I found myself lying in an unfamiliar tent.

A strong herbal scent filled the tent.

When Wang Qi woke up, he was confused and even despondent, and wanted to commit suicide.

The Jianning Prefecture, which he had vowed to defend, was captured by the rebel army.

He had witnessed the devastation that followed the fall of the city; it was a scene straight out of hell.

However, he did not commit suicide because the bandits did not kill the wounded, but instead gathered them together for treatment, which made him think to himself that this bandit army might be somewhat different.

Sure enough, a few days later, the camp suddenly became lively, with everyone discussing how the new army had taken the initiative to attack the Qing army and won a great victory overnight.

Wang Qi was clearly skeptical. If the Qing army was so easily defeated, how could the world have fallen into chaos?

But as people he knew started discussing these things, he began to waver, perhaps because it was true.

A few days later, the doctors there examined him and, after confirming that he had recovered, released him.

However, his activities were still limited to the prisoner-of-war camps set up by the new army.

"Wang Qi".

"arrive."

"Your resume is good, and you have the qualifications of having served as a soldier. Now you have two choices: one is to join the Shenji Battalion as a soldier, and the other is to undergo labor reform."

A new army soldier came to Wang Qi's place and suddenly gave him two choices.

Wang Qi then realized that he was still a prisoner.

"I choose to join the Divine Machine Battalion."

Wang Qi hesitated for a moment. Labor reform was definitely not a good thing, but he knew what it would be like to be a soldier in the Shenji Battalion.

"The rebel army actually has the Divine Machine Battalion. Speaking of which, I was the Imperial Advisor before, why did they make me join the army? And why won't Li Tian see me?" Wang Qi thought to himself.

Wang Qi didn't think much of it; he wanted to learn more about the army.

Because this army seemed very mysterious and special to him from the very beginning.

Wang Qi originally wanted to return to a peaceful life, but that peace was soon shattered.

The new army began to remeasure the land and redistribute it equally. Many aristocratic families who knew that Wang Qi was still alive began to ask people to find Wang Qi and inform him of the situation.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qi was furious. He didn't care about the Zhu family or the You family, but the Yun family had a very deep relationship with him.

Yun Richu devoted himself to the country and rushed to the front line, yet such a hero was still targeted. This rebel army acted without any reason or humanity.

So he found Company Commander Yu Feng, explained his identity, and insisted on meeting Li Tian.

Yu Feng felt troubled after hearing Wang Qi's request, but considering Wang Qi's identity, he decided to report it anyway.

Only after receiving permission did he bring Wang Qi to see Li Tian.

At this moment, Wang Qi was already waiting for Li Tian in a quiet room.

The door opened and three people walked in. The one in the lead was a young man who had finally met the leader of the army.

The other person looked very young, with a clear light in his eyes, like a wealthy young master who had just entered the world of martial arts.

"This is Li Tian? How can he command 100,000 soldiers? How can he command respect?" Wang Qi's eyes were full of doubt when he first saw Li Tian.

Li Tian also sized up Wang Qi the moment he saw him.

Tall and dark-skinned, with a short beard, his eyes were murky and filled with murderous intent. He had a powerful presence, and just standing there inspired awe.

This kind of spirit is something only those who have fought countless life-or-death battles and escaped death countless times possess.

This person is dangerous.

Li Tian was shocked the moment he saw Wang Qi.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he is now the leader to whom 100,000 loyal followers serve.

Just a few days ago, he was a senior student doing an internship!

Li Tian suppressed his emotions and put on a cold and somewhat impatient expression.

"You must be Wang Qi. I'm short on time, so please get to the point quickly."

Wang Qi frowned, his suspicions growing that this man was indeed the commander of an army of 100,000.

"He doesn't have that kind of imposing presence; he's like a naive child."

"So you're Li Tian? You wear Han Chinese hair and clothing, so you're not a foreigner. If you're not a foreigner, why are you persecuting my own people and seizing their land?"

"How is this any different from the actions of the Jurchen barbarians?"

Wang Qi's voice was firm and resolute, as if he were questioning a criminal.

Upon hearing this, Li Tian looked at the person with a puzzled expression, then smiled.

Originally, I felt awe towards the person in front of me, but now I felt more contempt.

They were originally lackeys of the landlord class.

"The Grand Preceptor wanted to see me, and I took time out of my busy schedule to come out. I thought you had some profound insights to share, but all I heard were a few barks from dogs."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qi flew into a rage, feeling utterly humiliated by the young man before him!

And what does that disdainful look mean?!

"You're asking for it, kid!"

Wang Qi slammed his hand on the table, causing the wooden table to overturn, and threw a punch at Li Tian.

Li Tian was immediately startled. The two guards behind him reacted quickly, one blocking Wang Qi's fist in front of him and the other grabbing Wang Qi's waist.

The two worked together to subdue Wang Qi in an instant.

Wang Qi, pinned to the ground, cursed Li Tian angrily. He wouldn't be able to quell his anger until he killed Li Tian today.

"Arrogant brat, release me! Today I will kill you, you arrogant fool, for the sake of the people!"

Li Tian was so frightened that he took a step back. If that punch landed on him, he would surely be covered in bruises.

"Hmph, ignorant fool, you hit someone just for telling the truth."

"You can't talk about ice with a summer insect, you can't talk about the sea with a frog in a well, and you can't talk about the Tao with an ordinary person."

Li Tian's face was somewhat gloomy; he wanted to execute Wang Qi.

Wang Qi was lectured by a mere boy, which made him even angrier. His face turned red, as if he had been painted with dye.

"A mere child, not even fully grown, dares to discuss matters with an old man like me!"

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! Today, I will kill you, you traitor, for the sake of the people of Jianning Prefecture!"

Wang Qi roared, and the commotion inside quickly attracted the attention of those outside. Several people rushed in in an instant, and upon seeing this scene, they rushed forward to join in suppressing Wang Qi.

"Ouch—Commander, that punch from your old friend really hurts."

With someone's help, guard Luo Qiang was finally able to loosen his grip and couldn't help but rub his arm.

Li Tian stood in front of the door, preparing to leave. Before leaving, he looked down at Wang Qi, who was being pressed to the ground.

The two locked eyes.

Li Tian said coldly, "The common people you speak of are nothing more than landlords, gentry, and powerful figures. As for others, in your eyes they may not even be human, just like the weeds by the roadside. It's not wrong to call you a lackey of the landlord class."

"Someone like you doesn't deserve to talk to me."

"Take him away and send him to a labor camp. If he repeatedly fails to mend his ways, execute him by firing squad."

After saying that, Li Tian left without looking back.

Wang Qi stared intently at Li Tian's departing figure. In this scene, he noticed that the blond-haired boy in front of him seemed a little different. For a moment, the other party seemed like a saint standing on a mountain peak.

Wang Qi gritted his teeth and stopped resisting, being directly pushed down, his mind replaying what Li Tian had just said.

"A lackey of the landlord class."

The sentence seemed to have a magical power, constantly echoing in his mind.

He rarely heard the word "class," but he understood its general meaning, which was similar to "social stratum."

But he was a grown man who was being lectured by a young punk, and he just couldn't accept it.

"How could I possibly be a lackey!"
