The rebel army's foremost master craftsman forged a million iron pylons!

Qin Shuang never expected to encounter such a terrifying scene on her first mission.

She heard that the rebels were a bunch of rabble who would turn tail and run when they saw the imperial cavalry, and that a single imperial cavalryman could chase a hundred rebel soldiers for four or five miles.

But to his utter surprise, four of the elite scouts in the imperial court died in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!

No, eight!

It should be said that the entire army was wiped out.

Right now, Qin Shuang is only thinking about escaping. She came out this time for two reasons: first, she wanted to see how scouts carry out their missions; second, she had a fight with her fiancé.

who knows……

Qin Shuang clung tightly to the horse's neck, afraid that the beast would throw her off its back.

But fate had other plans. Just as the warhorse reached a small hill, a short arrow suddenly flew from the side and struck the horse's front hoof.

The warhorse neighed and fell to the ground.

Qin Shuang was thrown several meters away and was completely disoriented. If it weren't for the armor protecting her, she would have probably died.

Her whole body ached, and she tried to get up from the ground, but she couldn't muster any strength.

She had no choice but to wait where she was.

Then, in a daze, she saw a pair of black boots standing in front of her. As her gaze gradually rose, she saw a man's face.

He wasn't exactly handsome, but he had a very sharp gaze.

She's very young!

Then, a sharp pain came, and she fainted.

Li Tian froze on the spot.

Just now, he shot an arrow that knocked down a warhorse, intending to capture the armored soldier on horseback alive.

He had noticed this soldier long ago; he was protected and wore iron armor, so he must be a minor general in the imperial army.

Such generals are often highly valued within the rebel army.

But to Li Tian's utter surprise, this general fainted in an instant.

Logically speaking, generals who can serve as scouts should generally be in very good physical condition.

Even though she was dizzy, Li Tian still wanted to capture her alive.

Li Tian stepped forward, roughly removed the mask from her face, and then froze.

Before him was a face as delicate as a lotus flower, devoid of any heroic spirit; she didn't look like a general, but rather like a young lady from an official's family.

Her looks surpass Liu Qingqing's and are roughly on par with Shen Yushuang's.

Li Tian felt his blood rush to his head and a surge of restless energy welled up inside him.

It's all because of their vigorous and energetic physique.

The problem now is how to deal with this woman.

It's a pity to kill him.

Take them back to the military camp.

That's a men's place, so it doesn't seem very convenient.

After thinking for a moment, Li Tian decided to save the woman first. He squatted down, untied the water bag, sprinkled some on the woman's face, and then pinched her philtrum hard.

The woman slowly woke up.

It's that man again.

As soon as Qin Shuang opened her eyes, she saw the rebel soldier squatting in front of her, very close, and he was even touching her face with his hand.

Qin Shuang immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Who are you? Get the hell away from me!"

Li Tian smiled, pulled a dagger from his waist, and gently held it to the woman's neck. "Don't be so fierce yet. Tell me who you are first."

Qin Shuang was stunned for a moment. She wasn't afraid that this man would kill her; she was afraid that he would cut her face.

"Qin...Shuang!"

Qin Shuang could only whisper.

"Position?"

Li Tian then asked.

"Position?" Qin Shuang was taken aback again. She didn't have any official position in the military camp. She had only come here with the Western Army's Trapped Camp for sightseeing.

I joined the scout team on a whim, wanting to experience what it's like to be a soldier.

If we have to talk about positions, her father was Qin Lie, the commander of the "Qingshui Military Prefecture," but it's hard to say whether that counts as a position.

of course,

She won't tell the truth.

Even if she were incredibly stupid, she would know that revealing her true identity would only hasten her death.

"I'm a new recruit in the scout battalion, and today is my first mission."

"Beautiful, a liar, never served in the military."

"There will definitely be no women in the army."

"Since she has a woman and scouts protecting her, her rank in the army must be quite high."

Li Tian silently gave Qin Shuang an assessment, stating bluntly, "Come with me, you're very valuable!"

"What did you say?" Qin Shuang screamed. She felt insulted, and at the same time, she thought of some very bad things. Then she asked, trembling.

Where are you taking me?

"Come back to the barracks with me. I told you you're valuable," Li Tian repeated.

Ugh! Qin Shuang felt a surge of blood and qi, her vision went black, and she fainted again.

"Did you faint again?"

Li Tian was stunned again. He couldn't understand why such a frail woman would come to the battlefield.

But this is good, it saves us the trouble of bringing it back to the barracks later.

Li Tian glanced back and saw that Wu Laoliu and the others were already cleaning up the battlefield, which was a rule Li Tian had set for them before.

After each major battle, they would take everything they could—silver, armor, weapons, even a pair of shoes.

There was no other way; the rebel army was too poor!

He was also being targeted by high-ranking military officials, so he was unlikely to receive any supplies.

"Old Wu, bring the warhorse over here," Li Tian called out from afar.

"Here we come." Old Wu Liu led his warhorse over, trotting along happily.

Upon seeing the woman in front of Li Tian, ​​Wu Laoliu was taken aback. "Squad leader, who is this pretty woman? Where did you get her?"

"Don't ask any more questions. Leave the warhorse behind. We'll take this woman back to Wolf Head Fortress later; she'll be of great use to us," Li Tian said indifferently.

Wu Laoliu immediately gave a knowing, knowing smile and then scurried away.

Before long, Zhao Erbao and the others finished cleaning up the battlefield and walked over to Li Tian. They saw him helping a beautiful woman in armor mount a warhorse and securing her to the saddle with ropes.

The group couldn't help but whisper among themselves. After Li Tian finished tying him up, Zhao Erbao stepped forward and asked a question.

"Corporal, what should we do next?"

"Back to camp!"

Li Tianzhong let out a loud shout and led his warhorse toward the road back to Wolf Head Fortress.

Wu Laoliu and the others followed Li Tian with great joy.

Eight scouts were killed today.

Eight!

This is something they can brag about for a lifetime.

When Li Tian and his group returned to Wolf Head Fortress, it was just getting dark. One-Eyed Dragon and Chen Junshan were chatting against the earthen wall of Wolf Head Fortress.

"Chen Junshan, lower the suspension bridge for me!" Li Tian shouted from under the suspension bridge.

Chen Junshan glanced down at the suspension bridge and then lowered it with a creaking sound.

When Li Tian and his group entered Wolf Head Fortress, One-Eyed Dragon and Chen Junshan also spotted the beautiful woman tied to the horse. The two whispered to each other for a while, then gave Li Tian an ambiguous smile before opening the gate to the barracks for him.

In the courtyard, Li Tian asked, "Where is Qiao San Niang?"

"We went out to dig for wild vegetables," Chen Junshan said.

"Tonight you and Sun Sheng will stay in the thatched hut, and I'll stay in the dilapidated temple with this girl," Li Tian said to Chen Junshan.

After saying that, Li Tian picked Qin Shuang up from the warhorse and carried her directly towards the dilapidated temple.
