Chapter 300: Waiting
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Heng Yi had been busier these days.
Zhang Huiguang dragged him to suppress bandits.
After the bandits in the mountains of Chen State learned that Heng Yi was the leader, many of them were scared out of their wits.
The Mountain Bandits were panicking.
The bold bandit leaders who thought they were powerful enough were not afraid of Heng Yi or the imperial court and were waiting to fight them.
If any of them could defeat Heng Yi, he would be able to spread his name far and wide, attracting countless people to join him.
Heng Yi went out.
“I don’t know how long until 1 return… When Ah-Chi goes off to take the test, please take care of him.”
Han Qiao helped Heng Yi adjust his armor.
His armor was hard, and Han Qiao felt her heart saddened.
“Protect yourself.”
“Yes, don’t worry.”
With a home, he would not risk his life.
Heng Yi didn’t want to leave, but he had to.
At this point, he had no way out and could only move forward.
He kissed Han Qiao and turned to leave.
Han Qiao took two steps forward and tried to stop herself. She wanted to call out to Heng Yi, but she couldn’t say a word.
Although Heng Yi was the leader, he had a hundred guards, Zhang Zhao, Qin Song, Wen Yu, and Gu Jiu being the few.
With Shopkeeper Zhu Cong following them, the only goal they had was to succeed in this first battle.
Their target this time was Mount Longhu.
It was the largest bandit den in Chenzhou City. These bandits raped, plundered, killed, burned, and robbed. They did all kinds of evil things.
This time, Zhang Huiguang came personally to hold the fort.
But he had also told Heng Yi, “This is your main contribution, so you are the leader. If you can successfully take down Mount Longhu, your official rank will jump three levels.”
Zhang Huiguang patted Heng Yi’s shoulder.
Heng Yi nodded.
He rode his horse to the foot of Mount Longhu.
He didn’t know much about the troop’s deployment, but with Zhu Cong and Qin Song around, Wen Yu and Gu Jiu had learned a lot about the deployment.
Heng Yi only needed to charge, and the others would make arrangements for him.
“Chief, you’re here.”
On Mount Longhu, the First Leader, Shihou, held his huge iron hammer.
Each hammer weighed 80 kilograms, and two hammers weighed 160 kilograms.
If a full-grown man who trained their body hit a person with this hammer, one strike could turn a person into meat paste.
They were told, that to capture the thief, one must capture the master behind it.
Heng Yi agreed, and so did Shihou.
Therefore, when they fought, they would charge at each other at the first moment.
Both of them were powerful people.
Heng Yi’s sword had been passed down for hundreds of years. When it came into contact with Shihou’s iron hammer, it split the hammer in half. The sharp aura of the sword and its metal tore Shihou’s clothes.
When Heng Yi turned around, there was blood on the tip of his blade.
“This is impossible,” Shihou exclaimed.
That was impossible.
This was absolutely impossible.
How could there be such a person who could do this?
Shihou took a few steps back, but Heng Yi was already charging at him once more.
“Chief, watch out!”
The two lackeys came to protect Shihou, but they were both killed by Heng Yi’s blade.
When he swung his sword again, Shihou’s head was chopped off.
It was said that a good horse was matched with a good saddle, and a good swordsman was matched with a strong blade.
Not far away, Zhang Huiguang’s heart surged as he watched.
He couldn’t help but ponder.
‘Your Majesty, our Great Yong finally has a War God.’
“Kill, kill!”
When the war drums sounded, the flags were waved, and the soldiers rushed forward to kill the bandits.
These evil Mountain Bandits deserved to die.
As the leader, Heng Yi charged forward.
Wherever he went, the screams of Mountain Bandits met his blade, and only their death was left on his trail.
Only now did they realize how terrifying death was.
“No…”
This battle didn’t last long. Ever since Shihou was killed and the other leaders were killed by Heng Yi, they were all in disarray.
By the time the sun was high in the sky, Mount Longhu no longer existed.
When Heng Yi returned to Zhang Huiguang, he was covered in blood.
“Commander, I didn’t fail my mission and led the soldiers to attack Mount Longhu.”
“I’m here to report.”
Zhang Huiguang’s eyes were slightly red, “Good, good, good.”
It wasn’t Heng Yi’s turn to clean up the mess.
Zhang Huiguang gave Heng Yi another mission, to wipe out all the bandit nests in Chenzhou.
“Fifty thousand soldiers, you will lead them.”
“Yes.”
Everyone knew that when Heng Yi came back, he would still be Heng Yi, but not Heng Yi.
And Zhang Huiguang would also ask for merit for him and let his official position rise.
On the third day of February, Han Chi was about to go to the examination hall.
Han Qiao was packing his things.
Among his things were food, bedding, and clothes.
The environment in the examination hall was harsh.
However, Han Chi had suffered a lot and trained hard these days, so his body was in good condition.
When Han Qiao sent him out of the examination hall, there were already many people there.
Han Qiao tidied his clothes, “Don’t force yourself. It doesn’t matter whether you succeed or not. No matter what, you’re still my son.”
She hugged him gently, “But you have to work hard, Ah-Chi. Mother will come and take you home in two days.”
“Yes.”
Han Chi nodded vigorously.
Her eyes reddened slightly.
When he entered the entrance of the exam hall with his things, he turned around to take a look.
His mother still stood there like a gentle wind.
She looked so weak, but she was like a strong shield that protected him, allowing him to move forward bravely without any worries.
Han Qiao gave Han Chi a cheering gesture.
Han Chi also returned the gesture back.
Then, he resolutely walked into the examination hall.
Han Qiao turned her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
“Sister-in-law.” Bai Cha called out softly.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m just happy. Our Ah-Chi is an especially, especially amazing child.”
Many children had studied for many years before they dared to enter the arena.
It had only been a year for their Ah-Chi to learn everything.
“Let’s return first.”
When she returned home, Han Qiao was still feeling nervous.
They also left someone waiting at the entrance of the examination hall.
Han Qiao took a deep breath. There were no ifs. Ah-Chi was her son.
She was worried about Han Chi and Heng Yi.
Heng Yi had been away for more than half a month. Although news came back every day, the sword was merciless.
“Bai Cha.”
“Sister-in-law?”
“Do you think there is any thin soft armor that can protect one’s internal organs?”
Even if he was injured, his organs would not be damaged.
If his internal organs were injured, it would be easy for him to get a fever and get infected.
“No, 1 have to… 1 have to do something to get my mind off of this.”
Han Qiao got up and went to the kitchen to ask Aunt Zhao to make a hundred steamed buns for her.
She placed the steamed buns in the basket and placed them on the shelf, allowing them to mold.
She wanted to see if she could get the antidote.
It was said that penicillin could be extracted from the mold of steamed buns.
She was not sure, so she wanted to give it a try.
Han Qiao thought.
“Madam, Madam! Master has returned!”
When Han Qiao heard this, she ran out of the house happily.
Heng Yi was back.
Smiling, she threw herself into Heng Yi’s arms.
Heng Yi’s heart ached for her, and he also felt pity for her, “I have blood on me.
Don’t dirty your dress..”
