Chapter 201 - 201 What Do You Think?!
201 What Do You Think?!
After lecturing Fang Erlang, Lin Suisui and Lu Ze rushed towards the crowded area. They just wanted to see how Pei Qian would deal with the trouble.
When Lin Suisui and Lu Ze rushed over, the venue had already been set up. The northern barbarian captives were placed in narrow cages and carried to the side of the venue like dogs.
On the other hand, Qian He had already announced Pei Qian’s new rules to all the refugees who had rushed over. Needless to say, it naturally caused a commotion in the entire refugee camp.
Looking at the northern barbarians in the cage, who seemed to have no resistance at all, and thinking that there were three people per group, many people were tempted.
“Because the Wang family helped everyone fight for this opportunity, they should go first!”
Qian He ignored the people who were already arguing because of his words. He only turned his head slightly and looked at the Wang family members standing at the side. “Everyone, please decide quickly who to choose!”
However, just as Lu Ze and Lin Suisui had said previously, families like the Wang family only knew how to pick on pushovers. Now that they really had to take the risk themselves, they began to shirk responsibility.
Although the Wang family could benefit from becoming a military household, why did they have to let their son, father, and brothers take the risk?!
Therefore, after waiting for a long time, even though the other refugees had already found their companions, the Wang family had yet to decide on anyone.
“This is really boring.”
Lin Suisui seemed to have thought of something and tugged at Lu Ze’s lapel. While he lowered his head, she whispered something into his ear. Lu Ze smiled helplessly and turned around to walk to Pei Qian’s side. He raised his voice and said to the Wang family members, who were still thinking about it, “You guys can get an additional 100 taels of silver each if you can kill the northern barbarians, who are your enemies!
“Mr. Pei, what do you think?!”
Pei Qian was originally leaning against the round chair and watching with amusement. Now that Lu Ze had called him out, his hand that was holding the teacup paused slightly as he looked up at Lu Ze. “If you think it’s a good idea, so be it. Why are you asking me?!”
“Don’t I need your permission to reward them?!” Lu Ze glanced at him meaningfully.
Pei Qian glanced at Lu Ze and cursed him inwardly. What permission? He clearly wanted him to be the sucker!
However, although he was dissatisfied, Pei Qian still smiled magnanimously and tolerantly. “Alright, it’s decided. As long as you can kill the northern barbarians, I’ll give each of you an additional 100 taels of silver!”
There would definitely be brave men under heavy rewards, which was also the case for the Wang family.
Previously, they only thought about how they would lose their lives if they went out, but now, not only could they fight for the identity of a military household for the family and increase their status in the family, but they could also obtain 100 taels of silver. Those clansmen who were originally hesitant immediately became excited. Six people stood up in one go.
“It’s fine. It’s rare for the sons of the Wang family to be so eager to go on stage to kill the enemy!
I don’t lack money, and these prisoners of war are useless, so I’ll give the Wang family another chance! It’s also a good opportunity for me to see these boys’ capabilities!”
Pei Qian’s words seemed straightforward and filled with eagerness.
It was also because of his hint and Lu Ze’s stimulation that the young people from the Wang family became even more ambitious.
Wasn’t Gu Erlang a refugee like them previously? However, because he had obtained Mr. Pei’s recognition, he became the general’s pet!
Since he could do it, so could they!
Silver was nothing in comparison. If they had Gu Erlang’s status, was there a need to be afraid of not being able to get silver?!
The Wang family members who stood up, including the young people from the refugee camp who came out later and prepared to participate, were immediately invigorated. Before they even went on stage, they were already thinking about how to show off after they obtained Pei Qian’s favor in the future!
“Everyone, please stand up! However, this time, you have to consider carefully. Anyone who stands up to participate can’t retreat anymore!
“You guys have to think carefully. It’s definitely impossible to go back on your word like before!”
Seeing that the Wang family had already decided, Qian He didn’t hesitate anymore. He only glanced at the excited participants indifferently and poured cold water on them.
His warning made many people’s expressions change. They knew very well why Qian He said these words!
It was because they were just as determined when they decided to join the army last time! However, later on, because they found out that they were about to deal with the northern barbarians, many people immediately regretted it!
In order to leave the army and go home, these refugees caused trouble with their families!
At that time, because of the situation, Pei Qian didn’t probe further. He really went along with these people’s wishes and agreed to their requests. He released those people and let them return home unconditionally!
However, in just a few days, these people started to regret not joining the army back then!
Therefore, Qian He had learned his lesson.
Be it the Wang family or the refugees in the refugee camp who had decided to participate, they were all in high spirits. How could they listen to Qian He’s warning?!
Therefore, they didn’t take it to heart and squeezed over anxiously. They stood in the direction of Qian He’s finger and waited for the next battle to begin.
Pei Qian also had subordinates who knew the northern barbarian language.
After receiving Qian He’s signal, the subordinate quickly walked to the two cages and quickly told the northern barbarians Pei Qian’s instructions.
“Mr. Pei said that if you can defeat those people, he’s willing to leave you guys a complete corpse so that you guys won’t continue to be locked in this cage like dogs!”
From the moment these northern barbarians were locked in the cage, their mouths had been gagged and their hands and feet tied. These few days, they had only been fed soup, and nothing else.
