The God of War is killing like crazy

The next day, news spread from Qingfeng Village that the old illness of headmaster Pang Da relapsed and he suddenly passed away. Sister Pang burst into tears and wanted to see headmaster Pang Da for the last time, but was stopped by headmaster Qin Er, who took her back and put her under guard. At the same time, he also asked people to surround the yard where Si Ying and the others were and put it under guard.

It was obvious that there were problems with this long sequence of actions, but most people in Qingfeng Village were led by Qin Er, the leader of the village. Qin was also the son-in-law of the village chief, so not many people dared to raise questions. Instead, two old subordinates of the leader Pang Pang raised doubts and wanted Si Ying, who was good at medicine, or the Ying brothers and sisters to check the health of the village chief Pang. As a result, Qin Er ordered Xue Ren to kill the two on the spot. His method was extremely cruel, and no one in the village dared to speak for a while.

Qin Erdang then proposed peace talks with the court and accepted the court's offer of amnesty. Those who disagreed did not dare to raise any objections, and soon, the gate of Qingfeng Village was opened to welcome the court's people in.

Everyone in Qingfeng Village knelt down to receive the order. Because leader Pang Da had died, leader Qin Er was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition, and Xue Ren and others were appointed as generals to follow the Grand Marshal and immediately go to the southwest to quell the war.

Then the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree took the imperial army away, leaving nothing behind, no rations, no pay.

The people of Qingfeng Village were very dissatisfied with the court's actions. This was not a recruitment, nothing, but they still wanted them to work for the court and attack the southwestern uprising army.

The second leader of the Qin clan, oh no, now he has become the Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition, Lord Qin, ignored everyone's opposition and ordered everyone to reorganize the stronghold and set off in three days.

As for why it was three days later, there was a reason. Marshal Qin comforted everyone and said that the court would send the necessary supplies for the war in three days. Sure enough, three days later, the court sent some horses, military armor, and military flags.

After all, they were fighting on behalf of the imperial court, so they had to have armor and flags that symbolized the imperial army. And because they still had to go to the southwest, the imperial court naturally hoped that the people of Qingfeng Village would get there earlier, so they did not skimp on the horses this time.

However, the armors sent by the army were all worn out and discarded. Not only were there scratches on them, but some were also rusty. The horses were also old and weak. Only the military flags were brand new.

Marshal Qin comforted everyone and said that when the court saw that Qingfeng Village had made great contributions to the court and won a battle, they would issue military pay and rations.

Although everyone didn't quite believe it, there was nothing they could do now and they could only follow Marshal Qin to march to the southwest.

Just like that, after getting organized, the group set off towards the southwest in a mighty procession.

Si Ying and the Ying siblings were also brought along.

Just like Mr. Pang Da, Marshal Qin also wanted to use the Ying family's wealth to temporarily provide relief to his impoverished army.

Therefore, Si Ying and others were treated with courtesy along the way. Si Ying and others sat in a relatively comfortable carriage. Young Master Ying's poison was completely cured, and his body has almost recovered now. He planned to wait until he arrived at the Ying family, give Marshal Qin some money, and the Jiuquan incident would be over.

The brother and sister decided not to have any contact with such people, but they thought it was simple. They didn't know that Marshal Qin didn't think so. He wanted the entire Ying family to help him financially and manpower, and it would be best if all the wealth could be donated to the court through him. In this way, he would have made a great contribution, and maybe the Emperor would reward him with a marquisate. From then on, he would rewrite the family history and lead the Qin family to become the first generation of marquisates, which could be hereditary.

By then, the Qin family will surely prosper for a hundred years and become a famous and prestigious family like the Ying family.

So although he treated the Ying brothers and sisters well, he would also order more people to keep a closer watch on them. In case the Ying family disagreed, he could also use the Ying brothers and sisters to threaten them.

After a month, they finally arrived at Huzhou where the Ying family was, and Qingfeng Village was almost out of ammunition and food.

Fortunately, the head of the Ying family received the news early and ordered people to wait for support.

The people of Qingfeng Village, who had been sleeping in the open air for a month, finally experienced what it was like to have a real large army with a camp and tents to sleep in. They finally had a decent meal. They had not eaten meat for a long time, so they wolfed down the food. They were full of complaints towards Marshal Qin and tears of gratitude towards Ying's family.

The head of the Ying family and his son exchanged glances and looked at the large number of people in Qingfeng Village, feeling very satisfied.

This is an army that is no less powerful than the Southwestern Uprising Army, but it has not received formal training. Otherwise, it would be as terrifying to the imperial court as the uprising army.

After resting, the Qingfengzhai army had to continue on the journey, but this place was closer to the southwest.

Marshal Qin also reached an agreement with the head of the Ying family. The army continued its westward march and the Ying family also gave its support, but the eldest son of the Ying family had to be the military supervisor. The head of the Ying family explained that he wanted his son to join the army and gain military merit so that he could serve as an official in the future.

Marshal Qin thought this was a good idea. Although the position of military supervisor was important, it was usually appointed by the marshal's close associates, so there was no need to seek the court's approval. So he agreed directly. The people in Qingfeng Village also remembered the kindness of the Ying family, so soon Young Master Ying established his prestige in Qingfeng Village.

The only thing that made Xue Ren very dissatisfied was that he thought that this position should be his and he was the most trusted and capable person of Brother Qin.

Ying Miaoshu was left in the Ying family. The head of the Ying family was worried and did not agree to let a woman like her go to the battlefield on an adventure. It was the adopted son's mission to take back everything, and as Ying Miaoshu was the daughter of the Ying family, he had to protect her well.

Si Ying also followed the army to the southwest, but her last move was not yet completed.

Xue Ren was not bored, so he took advantage of the break to look for Si Ying again. He thought he would be avoided as usual, but Si Ying prepared some drinks and offered to drink with him.

This made Xue Ren very happy, he sat down and drank the wine happily, feeling that with the beauty beside him, the wine became sweeter.

After just a few drinks, Xue Ren started complaining to Si Ying, saying that he could have been the military supervisor, but it was all the fault of the eldest son of the Ying family.

Si Ying calmly guided him, "You can't blame Master Ying for this. In my opinion, if Master Ying wasn't there, there would be other people who could take this position. Marshal Qin didn't even consider you. Otherwise, why didn't he even mention giving you this position after a month of absence?"

"In my opinion, he doesn't trust you at all in his heart. You have risked your life for him, but you, Brother Xue, don't even know it. I heard that everyone is laughing at you behind his back, saying that you are a dog of Marshal Qin, who comes when he calls and leaves when he dismisses." Si Ying's words made Xue Ren furious. He even crushed the wine glass in his hand in anger.

"Who dares to say that to me? I'll chop off his head!"

"Brother Xue, don't be angry. If I were to say, you are loyal and righteous to Marshal Qin. The entire Qingfeng Village has seen it. It's just that you are sincere to others, but they may not be so sincere to you. Just like these gossips, I heard them, and how could the Grand Marshal not hear them? If he gave an order, the rumors would naturally disappear, but he didn't. I guess in his heart, Brother Xue, you may not be important." Si Ying pretended to be sad for him and sighed.

Xue Ren also calmed down, recalling every detail of the past in his mind. He didn't think much about it before, but now, following Si Ying's words, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Si Ying was right.
