    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 241

    ? As the sun set, a few rangers from the Qinghe Army in the northwest of Pingshun Town were slowly wandering on horseback in the wilderness. The distant mountains and near forests were shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun.

    "So lovely."

    Looking at the slowly setting sun, a ranger couldn't help admiring.

    Another ranger said: "This is far worse than my hometown Xilin Mansion."

    "If there is no war, my mother-in-law should ask me to go home for dinner." The ranger couldn't help adding with a look of disappointment on his face.

    "Then why don't you grow crops well at home? Come here to do this job of licking blood?" A young ranger couldn't help asking.

    "You think I don't want to grow crops at home properly, but this damn world doesn't allow people to live."

    "The officials sent two days to urge food and taxes. The crops that I worked so hard for a year were not enough to pay. My wife followed me for five years and lived a hard life. She wanted to eat some meat, but I couldn't even afford it. ?¡­¡±

    As the ranger spoke, the eye sockets of an old man sparkled, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

    "You come to be a soldier, what about your wife?" asked the young ranger.

    "Dead, unable to pay the food, the officials beat him to death¡ª"

    As he spoke, the Ranger wiped his eyes with hatred.

    "Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." The young ranger said apologetically.

    "It's nothing, it's all over."

    The ranger waved his hand to tell the young brother not to pay attention, but his mind was full of the voice and smile of his mother-in-law before she was alive, and his mood became depressed.

    These civilians don't think much about it, they just want to take good care of the crops, and then the family can live in peace and stability.

    However, the imperial court levied countless miscellaneous taxes, which bent their waists, and there were bandits all over the place. There was no way to meet their requirements for a safe and secure life.

    "Then why did you come here to join the army?"

    After the older ranger dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind, he asked the young ranger who was walking with him.

    "My family forced a marriage, I ran away from the marriage, and my money ran out. If the general hadn't opened a granary to release food, I would have starved to death. In order to eat, I joined the army." The young ranger replied.

    "You kid is in the midst of blessings but you don't know how to be blessed. You should go home and have a look if you have time."

    "Following the general to attack the city and pull out the stronghold, many court soldiers were killed. Now the court may issue a sea arrest order to look for me everywhere. How dare I go back."

    "When we overthrow the imperial court, you will be able to go back. At that time, you will be a general and go back in style." The ten people in front turned their heads and said.

    "That's a good relationship. When the time comes, see if my parents dare to force the marriage." The young ranger laughed.

    When several rangers were wandering and talking and laughing, suddenly a group of soldiers dressed in grass camouflage appeared from the wild grass around them, and pointed their hard bows at them.

    Facing the soldiers who suddenly appeared around them, the expressions of these rangers changed wildly, and they subconsciously touched the swords at their waists.

    "Whoever moves will be shot!"

    But when the ranger's hand touched the handle of the knife, a cold voice sounded.

    These rangers also did not expect that there was an ambush here, and their faces became extremely ugly.

    The ten generals gave the veteran behind him a wink, and prepared to hold them back with others and let him go back to report.

    "The long river?"

    Before the rangers could move, an officer among the soldiers surrounding them spoke.

    The ten generals also frowned when they heard the other party say the secret signal to connect, and signaled the Ranger brothers not to act rashly.

    "Sunset." The ten generals replied.

    "It's my brother, put down the bow and arrow."

    Guo Wei, the general of hundreds of people, was relieved when he heard the other party's secret signal, and gestured to the soldiers in camouflage around him, and they put down their hard bows one after another.

    "I am Guo Wei, general of the 100-man squadron of the 3rd Thousand-man Corps of the 2nd Banner Battalion of the Qinghe Army Cavalry, what do you call my brother?"

    Seeing the vigilant faces of these rangers in Qinghe army uniforms, Guo Wei smiled and introduced himself.

    "Do you have a military card?" The ten generals of the rangers still maintained a trace of vigilance.

    ?Guo Wei nodded, smiled and threw the military badge symbolizing his identity over.

    "Xia Rui, the ten-member ranger from the Fourth Banner Battalion of the Infantry, has met the officer!"

    After the ten Rangers received the military badge and confirmed it, their faces were filled with joy, and they immediately clenched their fists and crossed their chests, and gave a military salute to Guo Wei, a hundred generals.

    Seeing that the people surrounding them were members of the cavalry unit, the tense faces of the rangers eased a little.

    However, the rangers were also a false alarm. If they were enemies just now, they would have become corpses now. Fortunately, they encountered friendly troops.

    "Sir, why aren't you wearing military uniforms?"

    Ten people turned Xia Rui off his horse, and after returning the general card to Guo Wei, they couldn't help asking.

    "We are scouts. In order to avoid revealing our identities, we did not wear military uniforms."

    "Where is the general now?"

    Li Lang and his troops had been staying in Pingshun Town for several days, and they hadn't waited for Chen Ziang and the others to meet up. Li Lang was also very anxious, so he sent many rangers and scouts out to inquire about news.

    "The general has arrived nearby, just let us come over to contact you first." Hundred-person general Guo Wei said with a smile.

    "That's good, that's good, I'll go back and report to General Li, and say that the cavalry brothers have arrived." The ten rangers were also very happy.

    After all, Chen Ziang and the others didn't come over these days, which made them very worried, fearing that Chen Ziang and the others would encounter some trouble.

    Now that Chen Ziang and the others have arrived nearby, the two troops can join up. He has to tell Li Lang the good news.

    After the rangers and the cavalry scouts led by Guo Wei hugged and greeted a few words, they soon separated again and went back to report the situation respectively.

    Guo Wei's original name was Guo Yijian. This original Guo family member not only changed his name, but also fought bravely on the battlefield. He has been promoted from an ordinary soldier to a scout general.

    Chen Ziang was very satisfied with Guo Wei's performance on the battlefield, and he slowly accepted this son from a wealthy family.

    After all, Guo Wei once served as a general in the imperial court and was familiar with all aspects of the imperial court. Chen Ziang also often talked with him alone and obtained a lot of useful information.

    Guo Wei quickly reported the news that Li Lang and the others were stationed in Pingshun Town to Chen Ziang, and Chen Ziang no longer had any doubts, and led his troops to join Li Lang.

    When Chen Ziang led the exhausted cavalry unit to Pingshun Town, Li Lang had already led hundreds of officers and waited by the roadside early.

    Although Li Lang and Chen Ziang separated not long ago, they almost never saw each other again.

    Moreover, it was Li Lang's first time to lead an army independently. Without Chen Ziang, he felt as if he had lost his backbone. He always felt empty and unreliable, worried that he would lose the battle, and had no face to see Chen Ziang.

    Now hearing that Chen Ziang has arrived in Pingshun Town, while Li Lang is delighted, he also heaves a long sigh of relief, finally able to sleep soundly.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
