Volume 2 Battlefield Chapter 35 Buying Life Money

Although Mu Ruqing can't be called a great talent, he can definitely be called a good emperor who loves the people like a son and loves soldiers like a son. Especially when it comes to these soldiers who defend the country, Mu Ruqing definitely cherishes them to the extreme.

As the leader of this battle, Chu Li naturally received the highest reward, and Mu Ruqing personally went down and handed over the reward edict to Chu Li.

"Chu Li, the god of war, is loyal to the country, and now I have named him the king of war! I don't give him fiefdoms, I don't give him gold and silver, I only give him a promise!"

Mu Ruqing paused, then looked at Chu Li, who was wearing battle armor, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, in the land of the southern country, all your descendants and descendants will be blessed by the royal family! As long as my Mu Ru family is still the royal family of the southern country, then the Chu family will always be the king of war!"

As soon as these words came out, even Chu Li was stunned for a moment, after all, the matter of sealing the king is a big matter, why didn't he even discuss it with himself?

Mu Ruqing also found Chu Li's consternation, and whispered in his ear, "I'm afraid that you won't accept the seal, so I didn't discuss with you beforehand, I have already spoken at this time, you won't let me not get off the stage, right?"

When Chu Li heard that Mu Ruqing, a scoundrel, had said this, he could only accept the reward with a wry smile.

After rewarding Chu Li, it was Zhou Ping and Zhang Xiaoyue, these two little guys not only had the relationship between Mu Changhai, Zhou Ping was Chu Li's heart, Mu Ruqing naturally would not treat the two of them badly, and immediately rewarded the two of them with one hundred taels of gold, Feng Zhouping as the general of Huwei on the border, and Zhang Xiaoyue as the general chasing the moon!

Zhou Ping accepted the edict of reward from the two, and looked at the shiny gold in the box, and a sadness surged inexplicably in his heart.

After that, it was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and meritorious ministers such as Hu Ben, Fan Que, and Huo Zhun also received various rewards, but Zhang Han, who was the commander of the Qiancheng Army, was not only removed from the post of commander of the Qiancheng Army because of the crime of not knowing people and delaying the fighter plane, but also took off the title of the imperial master.

Zhang Han didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction, everyone felt that he deserved it, after all, he committed a lot of major food on the battlefield, and it was already good to be able to save a life.

The banquet soon ended in the greetings of everyone, and Zhou Ping, who was about to leave, was suddenly stopped by a voice behind him, this person was none other than Zhang Han, who had been removed from many official positions.

"I didn't choose to send troops to save you on the battlefield before, I almost killed you, Uncle Zhang is here to compensate you. Saying that, Zhang Han, who was an elder, actually bowed deeply towards Zhou Ping.

But Zhou Ping sneered: "It's not me who you should be sorry for, but those brothers who died in the funeral wind collar! I call you Uncle Zhang, I just hope that you can do things with the right conscience!"

There are some things that Zhou Ping doesn't want to believe, after all, the person in front of him is the father of his good brother Zhang Hanzhong, but if it is really as Zhou Ping guessed, then he will not show mercy!

Zhang Han didn't seem to hear Zhou Ping's pun, but lowered his head apologetically and bent his waist lower.

After Zhou Ping turned to leave, the former imperial master slowly raised his head, and in addition to guilt, there was a trace of jealousy in his eyes.

In the days that followed, Chen Bi'an seemed to have evaporated from the world, and even Chu Li couldn't find him when he came to the Sage Academy. Only Zhou Ping knew that the teacher Chen Bi'an was entrusted by him to investigate the last dark chess at this time.

Zhou Ping had already guessed the last secret chess move of the Qi Kingdom, but this person had a special status, and if he really wanted to convict this person, he must have ironclad evidence! Otherwise, it would be easy to startle the snake and even be attacked by it, so Zhou Ping must be cautious. In the entire Kyoto, the only master with sufficient strength and not subject to the jurisdiction and attention of the strength of all parties is Chen Bi'an, so it is the best choice for Zhou Ping to ask Chen Bi'an to investigate this person.

Because although the war was over at this time, Zhou Ping still had a heavy workload, and he had to go to participate in the condolence and bereavement work for the martyrs. This is not only the work he must do as the deputy commander of the Tanma Battalion, but also an explanation for his brothers who died in battle.

For every soldier killed in battle, his family will receive a pension of 30 taels from the state. At this time, Zhou Ping was holding a bag of silver in his hand, and finally knocked on the door of the first martyr's house.

It was the mother of a veteran of the Tanma Battalion, and although she had already learned of her son's death, when the moment really came, the old woman still grabbed Zhou Ping's arm and cried and almost fainted.

Holding the thirty taels of silver, the old woman stroked the cloth bag as if she were caressing her own child's face, but her hands still trembled uncontrollably.

Zhou Ping will never forget that scene, holding thirty taels of silver in his hand, he repeatedly said a sentence in his mouth:

"Son, my son, don't be afraid, let's go home......"

The brothers of the Tanma Camp who were traveling behind Zhou Ping couldn't suppress their emotions, and they all left tears, crying silently.

But this is far from the end, because Zhou Ping has to knock on another hundred doors like this......

For a whole month, Zhou Ping visited all the martyrs' families, and even the bald and stupid rattle he personally sent back to the grassland.

He also saw the girl that Muchada had in mind, she was very beautiful, standing on the endless prairie, this girl was crying so heartbreakingly.

Liu Zhu's elderly father broke his leg in the early years, and his temper has become more and more irritable over the years, and he has been beating and scolding Liu Zhu since he was a child, and when he grows up, he feels that he is not doing his job, and the last communication between father and son will always stay in the beating and scolding a year ago. It was also after that time that Liu Zhu resolutely decided to run away from home and join the Yama Army.

If it weren't for Zhou Ping, I'm afraid this lame old father wouldn't know that his waste son, who had beaten and scolded all his life, had already died on the frontier, let alone that this son he had looked down on all his life was a combat hero in several battles!

This lame old man had never called Liu Zhu's son in his life, but that day he cried and asked God to return his son to him.

If he was given another chance, he would never beat and scold Liu Zhu again, he would call him his son a few more times, listen to his son call him a few more times, and cook him a few more meals of pork head meat that he loved to eat......

But Liu Zhu will never come back.

If we could do it all over again, would there really be a lot less regrets in the world? Zhou Ping felt that it would not, because some things were missed, and some people died, that is, they died......

Zhou Ping spent a month condolences to the families of all the soldiers who died in the Tanma Battalion, but at this time there was still one person left in his hand and he didn't know who to give it to.

According to the veterans who are familiar with him in the camp, Lao Han is an orphan with no family, and his friends are all comrades-in-arms in the army, but his old comrades-in-arms have long since died.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Ping left the thirty taels of silver by himself. How lonely must a man be if he dies on the frontier and there is no one in the world who can receive a pension for him?

In the past month, Zhou Ping has always wondered how Lao Han has survived for so many years? Burdened with the will of countless dead comrades-in-arms, he does not dare to die, but he does not know how to live.

Who are they? Who are those soldiers who died on the frontier? They are not warriors who were born to die, because Zhou Ping has already seen their former lives in the past month.

Peddlers and pawns, farmers in the fields, ruffians and hooligans, restaurants and runaways. They are all these beings, everyone we might see on the street.

But then they died, and in exchange for thirty taels of silver. But will anyone in this world sell his life for thirty taels of silver?

Zhou Ping looked at the money bag in his hand, and inexplicably felt lighter. He suddenly felt a little funny, a person, a living person actually sold for only thirty taels of silver! It turns out that human life is the cheapest thing in this world?

What he had in his hand was not thirty taels of silver, but the money for a man's life. When a soldier is beheaded on the battlefield, pierced in the chest, and pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows, all the family can get is such a money bag, a money bag of thirty taels of silver.

Zhou Ping felt that it shouldn't be so light, at least Zhou Ping felt so.
