Chapter 71 Military Merit System
"Tian Guang, the hero of the farm family, is really brave!"

After Yan Fei finished taking Li Ji's pulse, Zheng Ge's lips curled up slightly, a seemingly warm smile appeared on his handsome face, and he said something creepy in the calmest tone.

[Tian Guang? Is the man who just escaped the Farmer Family Hero Tian Guang? ]

When Tianxuan heard what Zhengge said, his expression changed. He wanted to ask Zhengge why he knew that the person who attacked was Tian Guang, but as his thoughts turned, he also reacted.

Firstly, the twenty-four formations of Di Ze are the secret of the Nong family; secondly, although the person in charge of the formation just now has not shown up, he is undoubtedly a top master who is not inferior to Gai Nie and Yan Fei; thirdly, in the huge Nong family, except for Tian Guang and the six immortals hiding in the Tomb of the Six Sages of the Yan Emperor, Tian Meng, Tian Hu, Zhu Jia and others simply do not have the courage to assassinate Zheng Ge.

Combining the above three points, there is no other possibility except Tian Guang.

"Zhao Gao!"

Unlike Tianxuan's complicated thoughts, after Zhengge determined the identity of the main messenger, his eyes focused slightly on Zhao Gao, who was lying on the ground like a loyal dog.

"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?" Zhao Gao shuddered all over and raised his head with a flattering expression.

"Within three months, I will see that there will be no more farming strongholds in the Qin territory; within three years, I will see Tian Guang's head!" Zheng Ge's tone was calm as usual, and he gave the murderous order without revealing a trace of murderous intent.

"The slaves obey."

Luowang is a big net, and its only function is to eliminate pests in the dark places that Qin cannot reach. Facing Zhengge's order, Zhao Gao responded without hesitation and respectfully left the king's tent.

"Yan Fei and Gai Nie have been rewarded with a thousand taels of gold each for their meritorious service in protecting the emperor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After receiving Zheng Ge's generous reward, Gai Nie and Yan Fei showed no emotion at all and bowed their heads to express their gratitude.

"Tian Xuanzi, what do you want?"

Finally, Zheng Ge's gaze fell on Tianxuan, and he asked with a hint of interest in his tone.

Hearing Zheng Ge's words, Tian Xuan was stunned and failed to react for a moment. After a few breaths of silence, he said, "Your Majesty, I want to be an official!"

Although Tianxuan had in fact defected to the State of Qin, he was only Fusu's playmate, similar to a companion who accompanied the princes to study, and did not have an actual position. Similar to Lü Buwei who invested in Qin Zhuangxiang King Ying Zichu in Handan City, if Ying Zichu succeeded to the throne smoothly, Lü Buwei would naturally be the prime minister; on the contrary, if Ying Zichu failed to succeed to the throne, the best result for Lü Buwei would be to continue to be a businessman.

Zheng Ge asked Tianxuan, who also contributed, what he wanted. After thinking about it, Tianxuan decided to ask for an official position for himself.

"can!"

If other emperors heard Tianxuan asking for an official position, they would definitely regard him as an ambitious person and abandon him from then on. However, Zhengge was such a man of great talent and strategy that although Tianxuan's request was a bit offensive, Zhengge did not have even the slightest grudge.

"From now on, you are an important member of my Great Qin!"

"No more?" Tianxuan was at a loss when he heard this position.

Fusu saw the confused look on Tianxuan's face and said hurriedly, "Brother Tianxuan, why don't you thank father quickly? Since the reform of Shang Yang, our Great Qin has implemented the military merit system. From high to low, it is seventeenth level Da Liangzao, sixteenth level Da Geng, fifteenth level You Geng, fourteenth level Zhong Geng, thirteenth level Zuo Geng, twelfth level Da Shuzhang, eleventh level Zheng Qing, tenth level Ke Qing, ninth level Wu Dafu, eighth level Gong Cheng, seventh level Gong Dafu, sixth level Guan Dafu, fifth level Dafu, fourth level Bu Geng, third level Zan Niao, second level Shang Zao, first level Gong Shi." "Bu Geng, above Zan Niao and below Dafu, plus your age, it's already a big reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Tianxuan naturally knew about the military merit system. However, the names of the seventeen levels of military merit system in Qin were so strange that Tianxuan gave up after trying them once. Zhengge's award of "Bu Geng" really stunned Tianxuan. He learned from Fusu that "Bu Geng" was not Bi Ma Wen, and then he thanked Zhengge.

[These messy military merit system is not nice to hear and hard to remember. In the future, I will definitely suggest to Brother Zheng that we change it to the four-level military rank system of later generations! ]

While expressing his gratitude, Tianxuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Fusu stays, everyone else go down!"

"Here."

After rewarding Tianxuan and others, a trace of fatigue appeared on Zhengge's handsome face, and he ordered Tianxuan and others to leave.

When everyone left the king's tent, the camp had already begun to be dismantled. Tents were knocked down one after another, and corpses were piled up in one place, and a blazing fire was lit. Naturally, a fragrant smell of meat wafted out.

Crackling!

The dark sky began to turn white, and blazing flames were burning on the earthen stoves. Foods such as dried meat, dry food, and dried vegetables were placed in iron pots, emitting a rich aroma, and clusters of flames were flying on the earthen stoves. Tianxuan left the king's tent and looked around. He saw the drooling faces, and a faint feeling of vomiting arose.

"What's wrong, do you feel sick?"

Suddenly, a faint and fragrant aroma rushed into Tianxuan's mouth and nose, accompanied by a clear and noble sound. Tianxuan turned around and saw Yan Fei, who was tall, with black hair like a waterfall, and as holy as the golden crow embroidered on her azure skirt, appeared beside him.

Facing Yan Fei's question, Tian Xuan said confidently: "Is it not possible? They are burning corpses and eating at the same time. I wonder how they can eat it?"

"What's the big deal?" Yan Fei said nonchalantly, "For these soldiers who may lose their lives at any time, it's not enough to eat with the smell of burning corpses. When they have no other choice, they can even eat human flesh!"

Tianxuan did not doubt Yan Fei's words. In the mottled history of his previous life, the tragedy of "cannibalism" was not common, but it was not uncommon in troubled times. A trace of sadness flashed across Tianxuan's eyes, and he sighed, "This is the troubled times!"

"Hahaha."

Yan Fei saw the change in Tian Xuan's expression and found it very interesting. Her wide sleeves covered her cherry lips, from which she laughed heartily.

With a slightly unbridled laugh, Yan Fei, whose martial arts and skills were much better than Tian Xuan's, made a lightning-fast move. With two slender jade fingers of her right hand, she pinched a piece of flesh on Tian Xuan's cheek, which still had baby fat, and began to ravage it.

"Yan Fei, what are you doing?" Tian Xuan was dispelling the sadness that had just risen in his heart when Yan Fei pinched his cheek, and shouted in dissatisfaction. As he said that, Tian Xuan was ready to get rid of Yan Fei's clutches. However, Yan Fei's martial arts was much higher than Tian Xuan's, and no matter how Tian Xuan struggled, he could not get out of Yan Fei's clutches.

"What's so surprising?" Yan Fei bent her slender waist, looked into Tian Xuan's eyes, and said confidently, "Don't forget, you are my fiancé. Isn't it normal for me, your fiancée, to get close to you in this way?"

Although he spoke in a serious tone, Tian Xuan could see endless teasing in Yan Fei's eyes. This Yin Yang Master Dong Jun completely treated his little fiancé as a novel toy!
