Chapter 936: Chapter 209: Escorting the Grain, Your Sister_2

Pei Qin roared as she charged at the front, knocking down one after another.

The new soldiers were inspired, their morale soaring even higher. In the third round, they took down the old soldiers, who never won again after their defeat.

Dou He came over and called Mo Heng, Pei Qin, and Jiang Zhen, "Come with me to see General An!"

The three of them answered in unison and came over together.

Jiang Zhen knew General An; having lost a city, he should have been punished, "This time, you’re going to make amends for your crimes with meritorious deeds."

"Thank you, General!" Jiang Zhen replied with great excitement and in a loud voice.

General An’s hawk-like eyes fell on Pei Qin and Mo Heng. His brow furrowed slightly at Mo Heng’s excessively handsome appearance before calling Pei Qin over to question her, "You are Pei Hansan!?"

"Yes, General!" Pei Qin answered, wondering if he would also say something about following her.

General An stood up, walked over to her, and placed both hands on her shoulders. He frowned a little, sensing she was indeed quite thin and small.

Mo Heng glanced coldly at the hands General An had placed on Pei Qin’s shoulders.

Seeing the expression on General An’s face, Jiang Zhen guessed what he was thinking, "General! This lad is only fifteen!"

"Good! Good!" General An looked at Pei Qin’s clear-featured but dark face and said "good" twice before asking her, "Do you want to become a general?"

Pei Qin glanced at Dou He and, seeing him smile, replied loudly without any reserve, "Yes! A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier!"

General An finally broke into a smile himself. After laughing several times, his expression suddenly became sharp, "Good! Then I’ll assign you a mission first! Complete it, and I’ll promote you to Colonel!"

Colonel was a Sixth Rank, a jump of so many ranks at once. Pei Qin’s eyes lit up. She always said she was no worse than her father, didn’t she!?

Overjoyed, Pei Qin stood at attention and performed a modern military salute, "Yes, General!"

General An and Dou He looked at her with puzzled expressions.

Pei Qin chuckled and withdrew her hand, "What do you want me to do, General?"

General An didn’t dwell on it and gave her the mission.

Pei Qin walked out of the tent with a somewhat dark expression, muttering in disgust. She had been tasked with escorting supplies, and she only wanted to say, "Fuck!"

Meanwhile, Mo Heng was left in the main camp, on standby for deployment.

Seeing her displeased face, Lu Hai asked what was wrong. Upon hearing her curse, he couldn’t help but laugh, "That’s pretty good."

Pei Qin gave her a sideways glance, feeling somewhat depressed inside. Escorting supplies, and they only gave her two thousand men—where was she supposed to get so much food from? The one who should be punished was Jiang Zhen, why shouldn’t he be the one to escort the supplies!?

The more she thought about it, the more indignant she felt. Pei Qin paced back and forth and looked at the two thousand men assigned to her, "I won’t stand for this bullshit!" She turned around to find Dou He.

"What did you say? You want to capture the Waci People’s Thunder Cannon!?" Dou He looked at her with wide eyes, believing she was too naive to fear danger, "General An assigned you to escort supplies. As a soldier, what’s the most important thing?"

Pei Qin lowered her eyelids, "To obey military orders."

"Then you’re being insubordinate right now!" Dou He said sternly.

Pei Qin looked up, "If you give me one Thunder Cannon, I will be able to make even more powerful ones!"

Dou He was shocked, "You!?"

"Thunder Cannons use black gunpowder," Pei Qin added.

Dou He looked at her incredulously.

"I know iron smelting and steelmaking," Pei Qin continued.

Dou He suddenly grasped her shoulders tightly.

"Ow! That hurts!" Pei Qin exclaimed with a pained expression.

Dou He came to his senses and released his grip, looking at her pained expression, he felt an odd sensation rise in his heart, but his excitement quickly suppressed this strange feeling, "You said you could make Thunder Cannons!? Is that true?"

"It should be possible. So..." She didn’t want to go escort the supplies!

Dou He quickly found General An.

A short while later, Pei Qin was called into the tent again.

When she came out again, she wore a look of a small-time villain having just succeeded.

Feng Wei watched her behavior in disbelief, not knowing what to say anymore. The young master... The young master must be crazy to like such a woman!

"I’m about to be a Colonel!" Pei Qin bragged upon seeing him, unable to contain herself.

Feng Wei lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, "Congratulations!"

Pei Qin chuckled and immediately gathered all the experts from the military camp to steal a Thunder Cannon shell from the Waci People.

Mo Heng volunteered to undertake this arduous task. As he passed by Pei Qin, he gave her a brooding look, glaring fiercely as if he wanted to tear her apart and swallow her whole.

Pei Qin shrank her neck a little.

Mo Heng was nearly driven mad with anger. He had warned her not to recklessly expose her knowledge of bomb-making. Once exposed, she would become a treasure that many would covet, and those greedy desires, he’d told her before, were driving him insane!
