"Uncle, my feet seem to be frostbitten too. Can't we stop and rest?" Ye Peng asked dejectedly.

Ye Peng is Ye Changqing's nephew and the eldest son of his second brother. He is 28 years old this year. Although he is used to doing farm work, this is the first time for him to travel such a long distance in the heavy snow.

Ye Changqing frowned: "It's getting late, we should be able to set up camp and rest soon, just bear with it."

Ye Xiaoyong was dissatisfied: "How long are we going to endure this? So many people are stopping to rest, and we won't be missing a few more. Dapeng, why don't we go to the roadside to rest for a while?"

Ye Peng hesitated. He really wanted to stop and rest. His feet were almost numb from the pain and every step he took felt very difficult.

Ye Ze glared at Ye Xiaoyong and said to Ye Peng, "Brother Dapeng, I have some ointment for frostbite. Come get it when you take a break."

Ye Ze did not expect these things. It was his negligence. Normally, he should have taken out the Power Pill and given one to each of them, but he had not figured out how to explain it to them. To put it bluntly, even if they were all members of the Ye family, Ye Ze could not guarantee that they would not tell this matter to others, so he only gave the Power Pill to the people he trusted the most.

"Really! That's great! How come you have prepared everything?" Ye Peng happily chatted with Ye Ze and no longer mentioned stopping to rest.

Ye Xiaoyong rolled his eyes silently and stopped talking, but in fact he was secretly cursing them for being stupid. They were newly recruited soldiers who were going to go to the battlefield. How dare those officials kill them all at this time?

Captain Qian rode in front on horseback, constantly cheering them on, fearing that the soldiers he led would follow suit.

"Everyone, keep working hard and we'll be able to set up camp and rest soon. We'll set up camp early today!"

With Qian Baihu's encouragement, people seemed to have more energy to travel.

*

Several centurions at the back dismounted and sternly urged the new recruits in their ranks to continue on their way. As a result, when the new recruits saw that no one was attacking them, they felt more at ease and no one moved.

Thinking, in this heavy snow, if these new soldiers are injured and unable to walk, wouldn't it be the officers who would worry about it? Didn't they see that no one dared to do anything to them?

The movement at the back of the team was quickly reported by the soldiers to Captain Song who was leading the way. Upon hearing this, Captain Song became furious and said, "Stop! Everyone, rest here!" Then he spurred his horse and rushed towards the place where the trouble was happening.

The team in front didn't know what was happening and started looking back.

"What's going on here?"

"It seems like someone can't walk anymore..."

Captain Song rode up to the troublemakers and ordered the soldiers, "Bring all the troublemakers here!"

"Yes!"

Soon, those who were unable to walk and were causing trouble were dragged in front of Captain Song.

"Why stop?" Captain Song asked loudly and angrily.

All the troublemakers lowered their heads and said nothing, but in fact no one was convinced. How dare you ride a horse and make us travel in the heavy snow and on an empty stomach? Humph!

Captain Song raised his voice: "Speak! You are all mute!"

Still no one answered.

Captain Song had a gloomy face, pointed at someone at random and said, "You, you tell me!"

The man groaned inwardly, lowered his head and stammered for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence. He thought, there are so many people here, why do they have to let me speak?

Captain Song sneered: "Raise your head and answer! If you don't say anything... you will be punished by military law!"

The man was stunned. What had he done wrong to deserve military punishment? He looked up in surprise and saw Captain Song's livid face, which seemed to be filled with hidden anger. What he said was definitely not a joke.

'thump'

After only one look at Captain Song, the man knelt down! He was frightened!

"Sir, I just want to see them rest for a while, so I... I really can't walk anymore, sir, why don't we stop and rest before we go on..."

Swoosh! Snap!

Captain Song drew his sword without blinking and chopped off the man's head. The man died before he could even react. Bright red blood dripped down the tip of the sword, staining the white snow on the ground red, making it particularly glaring.

The sudden scene frightened everyone behind them, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. Some people who were close to them even collapsed on the ground with their pants wet, "Kill, murder..."

Captain Song snorted expressionlessly: "You have no opinion at all. You're just a deserter on the battlefield, wasting food!" Then he pointed at someone and said, "Tell me why you stopped!"

The person pointed at by Captain Song was shaking like a sieve: "I...I..." The man swallowed and said with courage: "Sir, my feet hurt so much that I can't walk anymore. I just want to rest for a while before I go on..."

Crack! Before he could finish his words, there was another sharp blow and the head fell off!

All the troublemakers were now upset. Their scalps were numb. How could he kill people regardless of what they said? Would he not kill them all? Immediately, everyone knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Although death is death, who wouldn’t be afraid when the time comes?!

Not only them, didn't Captain Song stop the team just to let everyone see how he dealt with these disobedient soldiers?

Ye Peng patted his chest, and suddenly felt like he had been reborn. Fortunately, he listened to the advice, otherwise, he would have been among those kneeling on the ground begging for mercy! It was simply too scary.

Ye Xiaoyong was also quite frightened. He didn't expect Captain Song to be so cruel!

Ye Ze turned his head away, unable to bear to watch. He knew these people would definitely be punished. Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys was a common tactic used by officials to win the support of the people, but he did not expect it would be the death penalty.

Song Qianhu's voice, which sounded like it came from hell, rang in my ears again: "Tell me why you stopped!" Don't you want to stop traveling? Then it's as you wish! If you die, you will never have to travel again!

"No...no...Sir, please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again, I won't dare to do it again..." The people who were pointed at were almost scared to death, and they kept kowtowing and begging for mercy without thinking.

"You don't dare anymore? If you don't even have the courage to reply, what's the point of keeping you?!"

"Ah~" Seeing Captain Song raising his knife, the man was so scared that he fainted.

The person is unconscious, so he shouldn't be killed, right? Just as I thought of this, I heard a familiar "click" sound.

The people kneeling behind were terrified, as if a knife was on their necks. As long as they were pointed at by Captain Song, they would be killed no matter what they said! The fear of death loomed in people's hearts. They were really scared this time!

Oh my god! Is he the reincarnation of the God of Death?!
