"But I heard that we recruits are going to be sent to the front soon."

Xiao Xiao looked at General Zhou in puzzlement.

The veterans also told them this morning that they could not be assigned to the barracks.

"That's them. Not you."

.....

Well, now Xiao Xiao finally understands, he can go backstage.

But he still put down the bamboo slips. After thinking about it, he looked at General Zhou.

"General, can you tell me why you are suddenly assigned to the front line?"

Xiao Xiao also asked cheekily, he was really puzzled. And he was somewhat inclined to go to the front line. Compared to doing meritorious service, he is more reluctant to stay in the barracks.

General Zhou looked at Xiao Xiao, pondered for a moment, and after hesitating, he still told the truth.

"What we said today, you must not pass it on."

"I understand. Thanks General."

.....

"Qin State fought in Zhao State and was defeated, with more than 200,000 casualties. Han State is already ready to move, and they sent you to the front line just to last for a while. To give time to recruits who enlist in the army after March. Do you know what I mean?"

General Zhou looked at Xiao Xiao.

Because he cherishes his talent, he didn't hide it from Xiao Xiao. His words have been very clear.

This time, Qin Guo wanted them to use their lives to stall for time. Today's Qin State needs three months or even longer to make room for troops.

"During this time, most of the troops in Lantian have been dispatched to various places, and the soldiers stationed in Lantian must stay in Lantian on standby at any time."

General Zhou's words were straightforward enough. Soldiers in Lantian will not leave Lantian until the recruits enlist in the army.

And the meaning in the words is. Even if these 700 people were besieged and died in battle on the front line, they would not be rescued.

This sentence sounds very chilling.

No wonder General Zhou said that no one else should know.

Indeed, if this word is spread, it will chill people's hearts at least, and cause mutiny at worst.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao said gratefully: "Thank you, General!"

Then he politely rejected General Zhou's kindness, and gently placed the bamboo slips in front of General Zhou.

"You want to go to the front?"

Looking at Xiao Xiao who put the bamboo slips back, General Zhou frowned.

"Yeah!" Xiao Xiao nodded.

General Zhou sighed: "People will die."

General Zhou didn't understand, he had already said so much, why the boy in front of him still chose to go to the front line with the recruits. It's just not worth it.

He really couldn't bear the heart of Xiao Xiao, a genius with superb archery at such a young age, to die. In his eyes, these untrained people went to the battlefield, and almost none of them survived until the state of Qin regained its vitality.

"If you stay in the barracks, I will find an opportunity to promote you. I also met your mother that day. Don't you want to go back to see her with your achievements and fame?"

Looking at Xiao Xiao, General Zhou knew that Xiao Xiao was different from others, Xiao Xiao had a family, and he could see that Xiao Xiao's mother seemed to love Xiao Xiao very much that day. Xiao Xiao is also a very filial person.

So he felt that Xiao Xiao's weakness should be his family.

In fact, General Zhou is indeed right. When talking about Mother Xiao, Xiao Xiao's mother's appearance appeared in Xiao Xiao's mind. The eyes also fluctuated, and the eyes became weaker.

What surprised General Zhou was that despite this, he still saw Xiao Xiao and shook his head.

"Thank you General for your kindness. My mother...she knows."

Once again, she tactfully declined the offer, and in the last sentence, perhaps only Xiao Xiao understood what the phrase "she knew" meant.

In the end, General Zhou was helpless.

But looking at Xiao Xiao's appearance, he felt that there might be some hidden secrets in it that he didn't know. Otherwise, why can a person not be afraid of death.

General Zhou gave up.

I feel that this kid is too stubborn. Isn't the man alive for the sake of success and fame?

He really couldn't figure out what was more important than earning fame and honoring his ancestors.

In his opinion, Xiao Xiao is so young. As long as you stay, in the future, under his promotion, you will be honored with fame and accompanied by beauties.

Looking at the young man who bowed his head and said nothing, General Zhou was both angry and loving.

What makes Xiao Xiao angry is Xiao Xiao's ignorance.

Love this kid's remarkable talent. Give some time, the future is boundless.

So much so that he has been in the army for so many years, it is the first time for him to seek selfishness.

"Go down!"

.........

Back at the new barracks, Zhao Kun, Pan Jiang and others saw Xiao Xiao coming back and asked where he had gone.

Xiao Xiao didn't say the real reason, but said that she was called to ask how she was so good at archery.

Zhao Kun and Pan Jiang nodded. He looked at Xiao Xiao suspiciously.

However, the scene of Xiao Xiao being taken away today was not only seen by these few people, but also by many people in the new barracks. Word soon spread throughout the boot camp.

Some people said that Xiao Xiao's previous hiding of military slaves was discovered.

Some said that Xiao Xiao was favored by the people above, so he didn't need to go to the battlefield.

One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, and soon everyone knows.

But mostly it feels like the latter. After all, if hiding a military slave violated Qin law, how could it be possible to return.
