Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Shen Lanxi's triumphant return to the capital was a boost for the entire Great Zhou. After Emperor Renxiao offered sacrifices to the ancestral temple, he specifically announced it to the world, not to publicize how powerful the Zhenbei Army was, but to deter the Dongchuan rebels.

With this announcement, Shen Lanxi thought that her journey back to Beijing would be smooth, but she did not expect to be stopped and complained.

"Please, sir, save my sister. I am Yan Qiuling, the son of the commander of Yanyun Pass. I want to sue Zhang Shi, the deputy commander of Yanyun Pass. He killed my family and took my sister away. Please, sir, help me!" Yan Qiuling, who looked like a beggar, knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously. His thin body looked like his head would be broken at any time because of the strong kowtows.

Wei Dongzhu stepped forward to check the beggar's body. Seeing that he had no weapons and no poison hidden in his fingernails or teeth, he did not look like he had ever practiced martial arts, so he asked for details.

Someone had already gone to report to Shen Lanxi, and she heard the family of the commander of Yanyun Pass also coming forward.

"My father is Yan Yunfei, the commander of Yanyun Pass. Our family has been guarding Yanyun Pass for generations. Ever since the Wei family army encountered trouble and was defeated in the northwest, many people have begun to persuade my father to raise troops and cut ties with the court. My father is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and was unwilling to associate with them. He severely reprimanded those instigators and demoted them from their military ranks." Yan Qiuling was afraid that they would not believe him, and he was a little agitated and spoke very quickly.

"Those people have been holding a grudge against me. Three years ago, they attacked my family while my father was away on patrol. No one in my family survived except me and my sister. I survived because my sister took advantage of the chaos and exchanged clothes with the children of the people in the city, and hid me among the dead. They took my sister away. Please save my sister!"

Che Mingyuan: "Before, Zhang Shi, the commander of Yanyun Pass, sent a letter of loyalty."

Cheng Zheng returned to the carriage and took back a scroll with the words "Yanyun Pass" written on the cover. After he unfolded it, he skillfully found a line of words and pointed it out to Shen Lanxi.

Che Mingyuan wanted to turn sideways to take a look, but he hesitated. He looked up at Shen Lanxi and heard her say, "You can look!"

The people around were already curious and quickly gathered around to take a look.

It records the past ten years of Yanyun Pass. Three years ago, the commander of the army was Yan Yunfei. It was recorded that he was killed by roaming horse thieves while he was away. After that, Yanyun Pass was continued to be commanded by the deputy general Zhang Shi.

Although he knew that Shen Lanxi had someone around her who collected information for her and it was managed by students from Qinglan Academy, he was still shocked when he saw it again.

If this scroll were to be taken by someone with ulterior motives, they would definitely accuse Shen Lanxi of spying on the information of court officials and plotting against their will.

Because it is all recent information, most of the people who know about these things are still alive, so the records above are very detailed.

Shen Lanxi withdrew her gaze from the scroll and asked, "Are you Yan Qiuling?"

Yan Qiuling had heard that the Zhenbei Army was led by a woman. When he actually saw this woman, he still felt a little hesitant and distrustful. He trusted the male generals around this woman even more.

Although he didn't believe that Shen Lanxi had the ability to help him, Yan Qiuling hesitated for a moment, but still answered honestly.

"Yes, I am Yan Qiuling."

Shen Lanxi: "How old are you?"

Yan Qiuling: “Eight years old.”

Shen Lanxi glanced at his thin body. If he said he was four or five years old, people would believe him. However, because of this, Shen Lanxi believed it even more.

"Three years ago, you were five years old. How could you remember it so clearly?"

Yan Qiuling said honestly, "It was an old soldier who led horses under my father's command who saved me. He had been raising me in the military stable. During the day I hid in the cellar under the stable, and at night he secretly brought me food. He kept telling me about my father, and I remember things very early."

Shen Lanxi: "Where is the veteran?"

Yan Qiuling's eyes turned red, and he choked up and said, "The old soldier is dead. When he was leading Zhang Shi's horse, his horse kicked him and broke his leg. No one treated him, so he died of illness. Before he died, he put me in a dung cart and sent me out. Not long after he sent me out, he died!"

Shen Lanxi looked at him: "Who asked you to come to me?"

Yan Qiuling hesitated and said with embarrassment: "No one. At first, I just heard from beggars in the city that there is no age limit for the Zhenbei Army to recruit soldiers. As long as you can work, you will be given food. I think if the Zhenbei Army even feeds children, they must be good people!"

Those who heard this sighed.

Shen Lanxi got to the heart of the matter: "You didn't join the army, you chose to file a complaint."

Yan Qiuling noticed the heavy tone of the words, and his body trembled. He raised his head and quickly glanced at Shen Lanxi, swallowed his saliva, and whispered: "They said that the Zhenbei Army is led by a woman, so... easy to talk to!"

Shen Lanxi sneered: "You are just a little kid, you dare to look down on women and plot against me?"

Che Mingyuan and the others' faces changed and they looked at Yan Qiuling coldly.

Ban Sicao noticed something wrong and immediately stepped forward, grabbed Yan Qiuling's wrist and pulled up his tattered clothes.

Yan Qiuling could no longer hide the panic on his face and pulled his hand back with force.

Ban Sicao repeated the previous action and looked at his other arm and other parts of his body.

"How can a child who has been living as a refugee in a beggar's den for a long time have a clean body? Kid, you are lying to your grandfathers." Ban Sicao kicked Yan Qiuling two meters away in anger.

When Ban Si Cao checked Yan Qiuling, the others naturally saw it as well, and they naturally became even angrier.

If the general had not discovered it in time, they would have been deceived by a child.

This kid is so cunning and crafty.

Xiao Fang gritted his teeth and said angrily: "He is so white, but so thin. He must be starving himself on purpose to gain our sympathy!"

Yan Qiuling was kicked mercilessly by Ban Sicao, and was almost torn apart. Even though he was not killed, he vomited blood and struggled for a long time without getting up. When he opened his mouth to speak, he was choked by the blood in his mouth and coughed.

"General, I'm sorry..."

"I did not do it on purpose……"

Yan Qiuling was really scared this time. He felt that the kick just now almost killed him.

He can't die, because if he dies, no one will avenge his family!

Wei Dongzhu looked at the child who was unable to struggle but kept explaining and apologizing. He was silent for a while, and finally spoke.

It was because the Yan family was somewhat similar to his Wei family, and the child's experience reminded him of himself.

"If you conceal anything again, you will be treated as a foreign spy!"

Yan Qiuling remained silent, and just when Wei Dongzhu thought he had fainted, he spoke again.

"I told you guys, can you really help me?"

Ban Sicao let out an exaggerated "Hey!" and walked over angrily: "Are you still negotiating terms with us?"

Xiao Fang was also a little angry. This kid was not a good guy.

Shen Lanxi is not someone who will be threatened: "If you don't want to say it, forget it. Throw him aside and don't let him block our way!"

Xiao Fang deliberately said loudly: "Yes!"
