After Qin Zhan left the commander's tent, he found Shen Qiao, the deputy general of the Baiyue Army, standing outside.
This man was naked from the waist up, with a thorn strip on his back, and was kneeling on the ground.
When Qin Zhan saw this, he asked: "General Shen, what is this?"
"Young Master, I am asking for forgiveness. I underestimated you before, and I beg you to punish me." Shen Qiao said with fear.
"Oh, why did you underestimate me?" Qin Zhan folded his hands and said lightly.
"This subordinate is too blind to recognize Mount Tai. I am willing to admit defeat and let the young master do whatever he wants." After saying that, Shen Qiao closed his eyes and prepared to accept Qin Zhan's punishment.
But after staring for a long time, Qin Zhan didn't make a move.
Shen Qiao couldn't help but open his eyes: "Sir, you..."
Qin Zhan said: "General Shen is my grandfather's old subordinate after all. He is loyal to my Qin family. If I punish you, my sixth uncle will be the first to let me go. Get up!"
"No, my subordinate did something wrong and is willing to be punished."
"I asked you to get up." Qin Zhan increased his tone, making Shen Qiao tremble and stand up involuntarily.
"Just think of the bet between you and me as a game, not real," Qin Zhan said.
"Shen Qiao admires the righteousness of the young master."
"It's not me you should admire, it's the general who protects the country. From now on, you should follow my uncle Liu well, do you understand?"
"Yes, I will go through fire and water without hesitation." After hearing this, Shen Qiao knew that Qin Zhan did not intend to punish him.
The more this happened, the more guilty Shen Qiao felt.
He secretly swore that he would be more loyal to the Qin family.
"Remember what you said and go back."
"Yes, I'm resigning." Shen Qiao turned around and left.
Regarding Shen Qiao, Qin Zhan would not really punish him.
This person is just too stubborn and his loyalty to the Qin family is unquestionable.
Afterwards, Qin Zhan also returned to his residence.
In the next few days, Qin Zhan and Qin Fen discussed the art of war during the day.
Although this world respects martial arts, in many cases, it needs to be coordinated with intelligence.
Qin Fen's insights in leading troops into battles allowed Qin Zhan to see another vast world.
He even realized different martial arts from these military strategies.
At the same time, Qin Fen's martial arts cultivation also progressed rapidly.
On the fourth day, Qin Zhan was called to the central army tent by Qin Fen.
When he came in, he found that all the generals had expired.
"Master..."
When all the generals saw Qin Zhan, they all stood up and bowed their hands.
Everyone knows that Qin Zhan's status here is equal to Qin Fen's.
Although uncle and nephew are different in seniority, their prestige in the military is the same.
Especially the fact that Qin Zhan destroyed the Lan Yue Sect has spread throughout Yanmen Pass, and all the soldiers of the three armies were shocked by it.
These generals no longer dare to act wild in front of Qin Zhan!
"Sit down when you're here, I have something to announce."
Qin Zhan nodded and immediately sat on Qin Fen's left hand side.
After Qin Zhan sat down, Qin Fen said: "I just received information from the imperial capital. Mu Yun and the Huanye Empire have sent envoys to the imperial court to sign a non-aggression treaty with the Blue Moon Empire. Now the two envoys I have arrived at the imperial capital!"
"Hmph, these two empires still have the nerve to sue for peace. If you want me to kill their envoys directly," a lieutenant general said coldly.
"Now that you know you're here to sue for peace, why did you go there so early?"
As a general, he naturally hopes to fight and not give Mu Yun and Huan Ye a chance to breathe.
After everyone had expressed their opinions, Qin Fen continued: "The royal family has agreed to sue for peace, and has also sent two princesses to prepare for marriage with Huanye and Muyun."
"What?"
When Qin Zhan heard this, he asked with a strange expression: "Uncle Six, did I hear it wrong or did you say it wrong? You said that the royal family wanted to marry two princesses?"
"right."
Hearing this, Qin Zhan was furious: "It's a shame in the world, we are the victorious country, why should we make peace?"
"I don't know either." Qin Fen said: "This news was passed to me by your fourth uncle in a family letter. It is really possible that the royal family would do this."
"The royal family's move is extremely cowardly and ignorant."
Qin Zhan said: "My majestic Blue Moon Empire has won the battle and still wants the princess to go and get married. It is simply a shame and a great humiliation."
"Your fourth uncle said in his letter that it was Gao Liqi and several other ministers who came up with this idea."
"This group of rotten scholars who only know how to talk and talk should be killed!" Qin Zhan said coldly.
"They deserve to be killed. It's really unfair that these bitches are doing despicable things despite their generous salaries." A group of generals also kept complaining.
The soldiers are fighting bloody battles outside, risking their lives for the sake of the empire.
The result was begging for peace and marriage.
If they were defeated, there would be nothing to say.
But they obviously fought and won the war, so why should they beg for peace?
And why do you want to get married?
This is not just incompetence, but betrayal of the empire and the people.
Looking at the angry generals, Qin Zhan couldn't help but look at Qin Fen: "What's your uncle's opinion?"
"What do you think?" Qin Fen and Qin Zhan looked at each other, and the uncle and nephew couldn't say anything.
Qin Zhan immediately understood what Qin Fen meant and said immediately: "It's time to go back to the imperial capital and my nephew will definitely handle this matter."
"Okay, this is what I'm waiting for. Your fourth uncle also hopes you will go back as soon as possible."
"In that case, I will leave immediately."
"No rush, you need to meet someone first." After Qin Fen finished speaking, his personal guard brought someone in.
This person is none other than Ning Zhiyuan!
"My subordinate Ning Zhiyuan has seen the general protecting the country." Ning Zhiyuan was wearing a battle armor and was full of energy.
After several days of treatment, his injuries have improved a lot, and he is no longer in the dying state a few days ago.
"Get up."
"Thank you, General!"
Qin Zhan also turned his head to look, and met Ning Zhiyuan's eyes.
"This is my nephew, his name is Qin Zhan. He rescued you."
When Ning Zhiyuan heard this, he immediately knelt down to Qin Zhan without hesitation: "Ning Zhiyuan thanks the young master for saving his life."
Qin Zhan stepped forward and helped him up: "General Ning, there is no need to be polite, get up quickly."
"This time General Ning will return to the imperial capital with you," Qin Fen said.
Qin Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood Liu Shu's intention.
He killed Gao Zhen and several of his lieutenants, but the families behind these people would not let it go.
Although the Qin family is not afraid of these families, the least trouble can be avoided.
So Qin Fen asked Ning Zhiyuan to follow Qin Zhan back and explain to everyone how arrogant and extravagant Gao Zhen and his party were, which wasted the opportunity to fight.
"Okay." Qin Zhan did not refuse and accepted Qin Fen's proposal.
Later, Qin Zhan personally sent Qin Zhan and his party outside Yanmen Pass.
On the occasion of parting, Qin Zhan and Qin Fen said their final farewells.
"Uncle Six, I'm leaving, you must take care of yourself." Qin Zhan said.
"Take care of yourself, don't worry about Uncle Six." Qin Fen was also a little reluctant.
The uncle and nephew hugged each other tightly, and they both had a resonance of being connected by blood.
At this moment, a green luan descended from the sky, carrying thunder and divine wind, which surprised everyone.
Ai Jia and others flew on Qingluan one after another. Qin Zhan said goodbye to the generals one by one, and finally boarded the Qingluan divine bird.
Keng!
Qingluan neighed, spread its huge wings and flew high, disappearing into the air in an instant.
