"May I have your name?"

"Jia Cheng."

"How old are you this year?"

"fifteen."

"Is this your sister?"

"Yes, her name is Jia Jia, she is nine years old."

"Are there any relatives at home?"

"..."

In the vast darkness of the night, Jia Cheng pursed his lips tightly and shook his head sadly. The young Jia Jia timidly held his hand, looking at the brightly armored and majestic adults in front of him, his thin body trembling slightly.

Pei Yue looked beyond Jia Cheng to the newly built simple tombs behind him, and asked in a gentle tone: "When did it happen?"

Jia Cheng lamented: "Ten days ago."

"Stretch out your hand." Pei Yue said calmly.

Through the torches lit by the soldiers around him, everyone saw that the palms of Jia Cheng's hands were all covered with blood blisters, which meant that during the past ten days he had been digging holes all the time except sleeping, and then buried the corpses of the villagers.

Seeing this scene, all the generals behind Pei Yue were moved.

They asked themselves, if they encountered such a tragic incident, they might not be able to do what the young man in front of them did. Not only was he not scared out of his wits and ran away, but he could also calm down and deal with the aftermath. What is even more commendable is that Jia Cheng cares about more than just

His relatives also let the folks in the village bury him in peace.

Pei Yue wondered: "Why don't you go to the county to find someone for help?"

Before Jia Cheng could speak, Jia Jia sniffed and said, "My brother took me to the county town overnight, but the people in the city wouldn't open the door. They even called us disaster stars and told us to get out of here."

Chen Xianda said angrily: "I'm going to kill these sons of bitches right now!"

His face was ferocious and his tone was so fierce that Jia Jia was so frightened that tears immediately came out.

Wei Rui scolded: "What's wrong with you? Stay aside!"

Pei Yue said to Jia Jiawen: "Don't be afraid, we are the Daliang army and we are here to help you take revenge."

Jia Jia wiped her tears, looked at Pei Yue, who didn't look much older than them, and said cautiously: "I'm not afraid."

Pei Yue smiled slightly, looked at Jia Cheng and asked, "Have you read the book?"

Jia Cheng replied: "Your Majesty, I started my enlightenment at the age of seven. I originally planned to take part in the Dingning Mansion Examination next year."

Jia Jia interjected: "My brother is very smart. My husband said he will win the top prize in the future."

The little girl obviously didn't understand what it meant to be the number one scholar, but her respect and trust for her brother was fully demonstrated.

Pei Yue then said: "Hongzhi, find a few stable people to send them to Xingyang and temporarily place them in the imperial envoy's office."

"Yes." Fu Hongzhi answered with his hands raised.

"My lord, please wait a moment." Jia Cheng suddenly said.

Pei Yue looked at him calmly.

Jia Cheng plucked up the courage and asked, "May I ask if your Excellency is the envoy Pei Qin from Kyoto?"

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Do you know me?"

Jia Cheng said respectfully: "I have heard about your deeds, sir, and I also know that you annihilated the horse bandits in Qingyu Mountain in Linqing County some time ago. Imperial Envoy, I hope to be a pawn by your side. As long as I can

Avenge your family and fellow villagers with your own hands, I am not afraid of death!"

Pei Yue hesitated slightly and said: "You don't want to put aside the great future of a scholar, and you want to follow me as a leading soldier?"

Jia Cheng said resolutely: "As long as I can get revenge, I don't need anything."

Pei Yue looked at him for a moment. Judging from what he had seen before, Jia Cheng's determination, perseverance and courage were quite good. He was a piece of diamond worth carving out. But joining the army and fighting in the war was no child's play, especially now that he had to solve the problem.

A young man like Jia Cheng, who has no training at all and has never practiced martial arts, would probably die easily on the battlefield.

After thinking for a moment, Pei Yue shook his head and said: "If you really want to join the army, go to Xingyang City to find a man named Deng Zai and ask him to lead you in doing things and teach you martial arts. Of course, you can also choose to give up and continue studying at any time. I

Won't care."

"Sir, please let me follow! Please!"

Jia Cheng suddenly knelt on his knees and kowtowed vigorously.

When Jia Jia saw this, she knelt down obediently.

Wei Rui stepped forward and persuaded: "Sire, how about letting Jia Cheng carry the flag beside you? This guy is not the kind of weak scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken. He looks very strong."

Jia Cheng kowtowed without saying a word, and soon a red mark appeared on his forehead.

"Okay, say goodbye to your sister and follow me on an expedition later."

Pei Yue said angrily and funny, turned around and left.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

With tears in his eyes and gratitude on his face, Jia Cheng stood up, took Jia Jia's hand, walked aside and said, "Little sister, this Lord Pei is a good man. Can you follow his men to Xingyang City?"

After all, Jia Jia was young and suddenly encountered the death of a relative. At this moment, when she realized that she was about to be separated from her only relative, she panicked and said in horror: "Brother, I want to follow you."

Jia Cheng reached out and smoothed the messy hair around her ears, squeezed out a bitter smile and said: "Little sister, brother is going to the battlefield. How can you follow me at such a young age? Listen to brother, go to Xingyang to spend some time first, and wait.

After I take my revenge, I will go find you and buy you new clothes and delicious candy, okay?"

Jia Jia's tears fell down her face involuntarily, she shook her head vigorously and said, "I don't want that, brother, don't leave me!"

She couldn't help but burst into tears.

Jia Cheng held her face and shed tears himself. He helped his sister wipe the tears on her face, but he couldn't wipe them away.

"Little sister, be obedient. I will find you soon."

He turned around and bowed deeply to Fu Hongzhi, who looked solemn, and said sincerely: "My little sister is young and not sensible. I hope you will take good care of me."

Fu Hongzhi nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry."

Jia Cheng straightened up and glanced at Jia Jia with great reluctance, then turned around and strode away.

"elder brother!"

Jia Jia shouted, but he had been accustomed to obeying Jia Cheng's words since he was a child, so he did not dare to follow him and could only stand there and shed tears alone.

Fu Hongzhi sighed softly and said to his confidants: "Send this little girl to the imperial envoy's office safely and leave it to everyone Lin to take care of her. There must be no mistakes, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."

"Please don't worry, sir!" Everyone bowed and accepted the order.

The Tibetan Guard Cavalry had already lined up. Pei Yue looked at Jia Cheng who was running in front of him and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

Before Jia Cheng could extract himself from the extremely complicated emotions, Pei Yue's question was like a bucket of ice water poured on his head.

He has only ridden an ox and never a horse, but how can he follow in the war if he doesn't know how to ride a horse?

Even if you are just carrying the flag, you still need to be able to ride a horse. Is it possible to rely on your legs to keep up with the speed of the army?

Seeing his embarrassment but still firm eyes, Pei Yue suddenly remembered that he had been living in a small courtyard in Dingguo Mansion, so he stopped teasing him and turned to Wei Rui: "You left me here, I leave it to you.

Already."

Wei Rui nodded and said, "I humbly accept my order."
