Bai Songnian was startled for a moment, showing obvious surprise, he never expected that his insightful eyes would be blocked by a junior calmly.
If he puts more effort, he will naturally be able to penetrate Qianye's force defense, but Bai Songnian is able to argue with Zhao Xuanji on an equal footing, with such a status, how dare he do it again if he failed to make a single shot. Besides, Zhao Xuanji's gaze from the side was already quite unfriendly, so could it be that he wanted to explain to this old enemy that he didn't see through that junior with a single glance
Bai Songnian has been through many storms, lost his composure for only a moment, and soon recovered his smiling appearance, nodded and said: "It really is extraordinary, worthy of the courtesy Zhao Clan gave you."
"You're flattering me." Qianye's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he accepted this sentence as a compliment without being humble or overbearing.
The two convoys of the White Clan and the Zhao Clan advanced side by side, and they had already reached outside the camp of the Chinese Army. The convoy stopped in the wide area outside the gate, only the cars of Zhao Xuanji and Bai Songnian could continue to drive in, other vehicles could not go in, even Zhao Jundu and Bai Aotu were no exception.
A high platform has already been set up on the side of the largest school field in the Chinese army, surrounded by iron guards, and the atmosphere is solemn.
The powerful figures from various powerful families who came out to lead the army this time, such as Zhao Xuanji, naturally took their seats on the stage. Take a seat around the school grounds. As for Qianye and the others, they were located on the school grounds in front of the high platform, where areas were marked out according to the rank order of the powerful families.
In the middle of the high platform, the handsome position belonging to Zhang Boqian is still empty. Even though he was not there, there was no one making any noise in the venue. The people who were acquainted with each other at most greeted each other when they met, and few people had long conversations. Other than that, they were all waiting for the reward ceremony to begin.
Qianye stood in the formation of the Zhao Clan for a while, and suddenly heard horns beeping from all over the camp, which reverberated vigorously and melodiously, and did not rest for a long time.
After the horn sounded three times, followed by three drumbeats, everyone on the field trembled at the same time, as if boundless majesty descended.
Feeling something in Qianye's heart, he raised his head and looked up the high platform, only to see that there was an extra heroic man on the handsome chair in the middle. He was just sitting there, but Qianye felt a towering mountain rushing towards his face in his vision, and he couldn't even breathe for a moment.
When the lingering sound of the drums dissipated, Zhang Boqian said slowly: "The Battle of Eternal Night started with a bloody battle, and ended with the Battle of Behemoth's Rest. It can be said that the entire empire has worked together and made great achievements. Our Great Qin established the country with martial arts, The rewards for military merits have always been the thickest. Today, the king, on behalf of His Majesty, rewards those who have made meritorious deeds, as an example for all the soldiers in the army."
Zhang Boqian's voice didn't sound very loud, but it spread throughout the entire imperial camp, so that everyone could hear it clearly. Moreover, his voice was not limited to the imperial camp, but continued to spread in all directions, the louder it got as it got farther away, it was rumbling like a tsunami thunder!
On the wilderness outside the imperial camp, dozens of figures suddenly jumped up from the ground, bushes, and trees, and rolled all over the ground, appearing to be in extreme pain. It didn't take long for all of them to bleed from their mouths and noses, and died of exhaustion. These are the spies left by Yong Ye's side to spy on the military situation, and they were hiding quite secretly, who knew they would die in this way.
At this moment, a guard in iron clothes next to him brought a tray with a large bowl of spirits on it. Among the crowd on and off the stage, there were also sergeants shuttled back and forth, presenting a bowl of wine to all those who participated in the ceremony.
Zhang Boqian picked up the wine bowl, stood up, looked around, and said: "The so-called success of a general, the glory of today is really the exchange of blood for countless robes. Therefore, before awarding the reward, I will share with you all." Drank from this cup as a sacrifice to the dead."
Everyone was solemn, following Zhang Boqian's salutation, and then drained the strong wine in the bowl in one gulp.
After drinking this big bowl of wine, Qianye suddenly felt a fire burning up from his stomach, and he felt a little dazed. Unknowingly, the faces of many former comrades-in-arms appeared in the somewhat blurred vision, and for a moment, I felt extremely bleak and could only sigh.
After drinking, Zhang Boqian sat down again, and a general next to him presented a list. Zhang Boqian took the list, glanced at it, nodded, and said, "This time, the individual rewards will be calculated by combining the bloody battle, the sleep of the giant beast, and the capture of the Eternal Night Camp. What do you guys think?"
Whether on stage or off stage, naturally no one has any objections. Although not all the children of each family participated in these three battles, some people will always appear to be at a disadvantage in such a ranking, but the risk taken by the participants throughout the process is the greatest, and people can't say anything against it. Moreover, this result must have been sent to the imperial court and read by the emperor, even if someone really objected, they would not dare to speak out on this occasion.
Zhang Boqian waited for a while, and seeing the silence of the audience, he said: "The first person in military merit, the white lord, Bai Bump, recorded first-class merit."
As soon as he finished his words, all the people in the Bai clan immediately erupted in joy and shouts like thunder. Bai Songnian on the stage smiled until his eyes were narrowed, and kept clapping his hands and bowing to accept the congratulations from all parties.
At this moment, the white man's scenery is like no other.
The empire's first-class military merit requires beheading a Marquis of Glory. However, the Marquis of Glory is almost the supreme commander of the dark army on the ground battlefield. In the three battles, no commander of the opponent was killed. Bai Aotu can be awarded first-class merit, which means that she killed at least two Marquis-level dark powerhouses , and multiple secondary enemies, finally accumulating this credit.
Even so, it is enough to be proud of the army.
The empire's military merit rewards are the thickest, and first-class military merit can already be exchanged for eighth-level force guns, or rewards of equal value.
Bai Aotu was still dressed in ancient plain clothes, he climbed up to the high platform step by step obediently, and took a jade plaque engraved with gold characters from Zhang Boqian. This jade card is the certificate of military merit, which can be exchanged for corresponding items in the imperial treasury in the future.
In Qianye's impression, Bai Aotu was originally a character who would not change color even if the world collapsed. But at the moment when she was standing in front of Zhang Boqian and took the jade card, her hands were trembling slightly, obviously unable to control herself, which surprised not only Qianye, but also those on and off the stage who noticed it.
Bai Bump's gaffe was only for a short moment, and her eyes became clear in a blink of an eye, and her domineering aura returned to her body. But in front of Zhang Boqian, this momentum is quite weak, like a small tree in front of the peak.
However, all the dignitaries on the stage nodded their heads one after another, and Bai Songnian's face turned pale, and he couldn't even close his mouth with a smile. As Zhang Boqian is a heavenly king-level powerhouse, even if he stands there casually, without deliberate effort, he is still intimidating.
To be able to show momentum in front of Zhang Boqian, even if it is just a trace, is no small matter. Bai Aotu's unlimited future has always been announced by the Bai clan, and now he has shown his strength in front of many aristocratic families and veterans of the legion, which makes Bai Songnian's face bright.
Of course, not everyone appreciates Bai Bump, and there are other meanings in the eyes of some people who have never been in harmony with Bai Bump. Forcibly exuding momentum in front of a strong man whose status and strength are far superior to his own is considered disrespectful. If it were a narrow-minded person, this move would already offend the other party.
No matter what plans everyone had in their minds, Zhang Boqian looked as usual, neither angry nor appreciative, it seemed that in his eyes, Bai Outu was no different from the soldiers on the school field.
Zhang Boqian just nodded and said, "In the future, I will have to serve the empire more."
After awarding, there should be a few words of encouragement as usual, but Zhang Boqian's words were quite standard, without the slightest intention of extra appreciation, which inevitably made Bai Songnian a little disappointed. But after he thought about it, Zhang Boqian was born with such a nature, he might not look at anyone differently, so his heart was at peace.
Bai Aotu put away the military merit badge, and someone lured her away.
Next, Zhang Boqian said: "The second military meritorious person, Zhao Clan Zhao Jundu, is recorded as a first-class meritorious service."
As soon as this remark came out, there was quite a stir on the field.
Zhao Jundu's real fame was only at the later stage of the bloody battle, and it took only a few months for him to advance to the rank of general. During the bloody battle, due to the iron curtain of ghosts, most of the participants were below the earl, no matter how many beheaded, the credit is limited. Afterwards, although the Marquis of Darkness was active in Sleep of the Beast, Zhao Jundu was only level 12 after all, and with such a large level gap, it was impossible to kill his opponent.
Although everyone admits that Zhao Jundu is extremely talented, but after all, he is too young and his level of force is limited. Many people couldn't believe that he was able to make the list and even ranked second.
The empire's second-class military merit requires beheading a powerful marquis. If Zhao Jundu obtained this merit, he must have piled it up with numbers, which is simply shocking. The number is so large, it means that the opponents at the same level may not be able to hold on when they meet Zhao Jundu.
Hearing his name was called, Zhao Jundu got up calmly, straightened his clothes, and just now he climbed up the stairs step by step, climbed onto the high platform, and stood in front of Zhang Boqian.
With Zhao Jundu's appearance, there was another buzz of whispers on and off the stage. This fourth son of the Zhao Clan is famous in the empire, but since the suppression of ranks began five years ago, he seldom goes out to various social occasions, so not many people have seen him in person.
Now everyone saw it with their own eyes, and all eyes were brightened. Zhao Jundu's appearance and demeanor were of the utmost perfection, whether it was Zhao Clan's allies or enemies, they all secretly shouted "Hello", deeply feeling that just this demeanor and demeanor is worthy of the younger generation The title of the first person.
Standing in front of Zhang Boqian, Zhao Jundu frowned slightly, feeling an invisible pressure faintly, he couldn't even breathe smoothly, let alone speak. Today Zhang Boqian did not restrain his aura deliberately, so much so that it was just the natural power that overflowed inadvertently, which already put Zhao Jundu under a lot of pressure, as if there was a mountain on his back slowly sinking.
Under the heavy pressure, Zhao Jundu's whole body circulated the original force naturally, resisting desperately. Suddenly, his whole body shook slightly, and a green aura shot up from the top of his head, which condensed and persisted, and then slowly disappeared after a while.
Those sitting here are all strong and veteran generals with extraordinary eyesight and insight, and immediately someone praised: "What a youthful spirit!"
Zhang Boqian also took another look at Zhao Jundu, nodded slightly, and said: "The foundation is good, and it should be the same in the future. Don't be arrogant, don't be confused by external things, keep your heart and not move."
Zhao Jundu's expression moved slightly, he gave a military salute, and said: "Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness."
Zhang Boqian didn't say any more, and handed a military merit badge to Zhao Jundu. This jade plaque is also written with first-class words, but there is an extra silver piping on the gold inscription to distinguish it from the real first-class military merit.
Zhang Boqian only said a few more words, but the expressions of everyone on the high platform changed a lot.
