Volume 1 Chapter 12 The Proud Old Qin Man
"Bai Qi, do you admit your guilt?"
This question from the military supervisor Pan Hu immediately made the atmosphere extremely tense.
The new recruits were all worried for Bai Qi, and Erniu, Heiwa, Huilu and others from the same village as Bai Qi were even more nervous.
This is obviously a rhythm to kill Bai Qi.
What should I do about this?
They are extremely anxious.
Even Yang Tianbao had no way to deal with it, after all, a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death.
Bai Qi laughed loudly and said, "What crime have I committed?"
"Not only am I innocent, I have made contributions!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Erniu, Heiwa and the others were stunned. Even Yang Tianbao had a dazed look on his face. He had never seen such a tough recruit.
Even when he had just joined the army, his father was the head coach, but he wasn't so arrogant!
The military supervisor Pan Hu originally thought that Bai Qi was going to kneel down and beg for mercy, but the second half of the sentence he had already prepared was suddenly stuck in his throat, and then he flew into a rage:
"You are not guilty yet?"
"You actually have merits? This is ridiculous!"
"Bai Qi, without the order of your superiors, you actually committed treason and killed the captain who led 30 people as an ordinary soldier."
"You even led people to surround and kill the other 29 comrades. This is simply an unforgivable crime!"
"Even if Marshal Yang the Invincible Yang came today, he would not be able to save you!"
"Come on, capture him!"
Pan Hu gave an order, and his personal soldiers immediately stepped forward to capture Bai Qi.
Inside the training ground, other recruits sighed. What General Pan Hu said was reasonable and well-founded. It was completely in accordance with military law.
They just wanted to help Bai Qi, but they couldn't find a reason.
Yang Tianbao was so anxious at this moment, wondering why his father hadn't come yet.
Little did he know that Yang Wudi had already arrived. He wanted to see whether Bai Qi was a reckless man or a scheming young hero.
How to deal with this situation?
You have the guts to kill someone, but do you have the ability to clean up the mess?
Everyone was worried about Bai Qi, but Bai Qi looked at Pan Hu confidently and calmly, chuckled: "
Since you want to use military law to argue, let's talk about the law."
"First, according to the laws of the Great Zhou, those who rob the people are bandits."
"And bandits can be killed by anyone."
"I killed them, not only am I not guilty, but I have merit!"
"Second, the military and the people should be like fish and water."
"The soldiers protect the people, and the people support the army and love the soldiers."
"But these soldiers robbed the old Qin people. If other old Qin people knew about it, how would the old Qin people view the defenders of Honghua City?"
"Are they still willing to join the army and guard Honghua City?"
"I solved a potential crisis for your Honghua City defenders. You should thank me!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was in an uproar.
The old Qin people shared the same hatred for the enemy, and their blood boiled when they heard what Bai Qi said.
"Yes, we old Qin people fight for the court. How dare you nobles let your soldiers plunder?"
"Bai Qi is not only innocent, but he has made great contributions!"
"Meritorious, meritorious, meritorious!"
The recruits roared madly. When they thought of following Bai Qi to slaughter the beasts that day, they all felt extremely excited. This is what a man should do!
Yang Tianbao widened his eyes.
Is this okay?
'But think about it, how can military law be higher than the laws of the Great Zhou? Just like family rules cannot compare to national laws. ' He muttered to himself.
At this moment, Yang Wudi was even more stunned.
"The army and the people are as close as brothers and sisters. What a close relationship the army and the people are. Someone who can say such words is definitely not an ordinary person!"
As a general, he understood better the importance of the people to the army.
If the army loses the support of the people, isn't it like a fish losing water?
This Bai Qi is more than just a warrior!
Yang Wudi was filled with emotion.
Pan Hu's face turned pale. He had not expected that as a military supervisor, he also held a first-rank military position in the army.
But he was speechless when asked by Bai Qi, who had no power or position.
The most important thing is that he has no way to punish Bai Qi.
Bai Qi killed his personal soldiers!
This was like giving him a slap in the face.
If he fails to punish Bai Qi, then his words in Honghua City will be like farts. Who will be willing to obey his orders?
Pan Hu made up his mind and shouted angrily:
"I am the military supervisor appointed by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Let alone taking care of a small ordinary soldier like you, even if Yang Wudi violated military law, I can also take care of it!"
"Come here, capture Bai Qi for me!"
"Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!"
When the new recruits heard that Pan Hu was so shameless again, they were so angry that they gnashed their teeth.
Bai Qi also had a cold look in his eyes and snorted, "So you don't intend to reason with me, you want to use your power to overpower me?"
Pan Hu sneered, "I just want to use my power to overpower me, what can you do about it?"
"Press Bai Qi to the ground and beat him with 30 military sticks to make him understand who has the final say in the army?"
"Yes!" The soldiers around Pan Hu immediately took the order and rushed towards Bai Qi with a grim smile on their faces.
The recruits dared to be angry but not to speak out. These powerful people used their power to oppress the lower-class civilians like them, but they had no way to stop them.
Judging from Pan Hu's posture, if these 30 military sticks really hit Bai Qi, Bai Qi would be disabled if not killed.
Seeing Pan Hu's personal soldiers trying to grab Bai Qi, Bai Qi did something that no one expected.
He swung the tiger-head silver spear in his hand and hit Pan Hu's personal soldier in the mouth.
"Puff!"
The personal soldier was thrown seven or eight meters into the air. All his teeth were broken and he rolled on the ground screaming in pain.
The other guards had never seen such a ferocious man before, and they retreated in fear.
Who dares to capture Bai Qi again?
What! ?
Bai Qi actually dared to take action?
The recruits swallowed and looked at Bai Qi as if he were a monster.
Yang Tianbao's head was also buzzing. He had been taught since childhood that military law was as strict as a mountain. Even if he knew that the other party was a traitor, he had to obey orders.
But Bai Qi actually dared to resist directly.
This completely overturned his worldview.
However, this is indeed quite satisfying.
But how will this end?
Even his father Yang Wudi couldn't help Bai Qi suppress this matter!
Yang Wudi's eyes narrowed. Bai Qi shocked him too much. He had wanted to take action just now, but now he stopped.
He wanted to see what surprises Bai Qi could give him.
Pan Hu was even more incredulous. He pointed at Bai Qi with trembling fingers and said ferociously: "You actually committed treason! This is rebellion!"
"Come here, come here, capture him!"
Pan Hu roared hysterically, but all the recruits on the training ground did not move.
Only his personal soldiers wanted to obey orders and kill Bai Qi, but when they saw Bai Qi's ferocious power, they all turned into huskies.
They only dared to call out, but no one dared to go forward.
Holding the bloodstained silver spear, Bai Qi walked up to the podium step by step and said coldly:
"Pan Hu, since you want to use your power to overwhelm others, then I will tell you what real power is!"
"In the army, whoever wins the hearts of the soldiers wins the world!"
"The two thousand brothers behind me are the confidence of me, Bai Qi."
Bai Qi pointed his spear at Pan Hu and roared: "The military supervisor Pan Hu ordered his men to rob the old Qin people, and the people were caught red-handed. The evidence is conclusive."
"We old Qin people have resisted the Huns for generations. How many old Qin people are buried in foreign lands, leaving only orphans and widows."
"Today, they dare to let their soldiers rob, and one day, they will dare to attack your wives, children and parents!"
"Should we old Qin people be trampled and humiliated by them?"
"Tell me, man, what crime should Pan Hu be guilty of?"
Bai Qi stood on his horse with his spear in hand and asked loudly.
His words aroused the anger in the old Qin people's hearts.
Yes, they fought for their country and suffered countless casualties, but these nobles from the capital dared to trample on them like this. If they allowed the nobles to do evil,
then wouldn’t their wives, children and the elderly also be slaughtered?
Who will be able to avenge them then?
At this moment, all the old Qin people were filled with grief and indignation, and they roared, "Death penalty, death penalty, death penalty!"
Bai Qi smiled, pointed his silver spear, and said coldly, "Kill!"
Boom -
two thousand new recruits drew their swords immediately. They were cowards last time, and this time, no one wanted to be a coward.
The Qin people are proud and unyielding, how could they allow themselves to be trampled and humiliated?
"Wind! Wind! Wind!"
They shouted the ancient war song of the Qin people and marched forward in a line. The ground they stepped on made a rumbling sound, and the murderous aura soared into the sky.
