Chapter 20: Xie Gang, Commander of the Praetorian Guard

Why did Zhu Hao want to see this Wei Xiaobao's eldest brother, in fact, he wanted to win over Xie Gang, the commander of the Praetorian Guard who was in charge of the greatest military power in the palace, to escort his safety in the palace in the future.

Although Wei Xiaobao didn't know what his master was thinking, he was following the master's words and the holy decree, so he immediately didn't hesitate, didn't ask, and directly received the order, turned around and shouted loudly out of the door: "You two go alone, find my eldest brother, and say that my master wants to see him!" ”

The two Praetorian Guards knew that this inconspicuous little eunuch was their new brother, and although they were a little reluctant, they respectfully accepted the order to find their leader.

Zhu Hao endured the pain of the whip marks on his body, sat up and waited for the arrival of Xie Gang, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, about two sticks of incense passed, and a strong man with a height of eight feet, a resolute face, and over thirty years old came into Zhu Hao's bedroom.

Xie Gang stepped forward and bowed directly to Zhu Hao and said, "The last general, Xie Gang, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, see the five princes!" ”

When Zhu Hao heard this, he said with a warm smile on his face: "Commander Xie doesn't need to be polite!" Today's events are thanks to Commander Xie, the prince of Ming Japan will be able to show his father, the country is the time to employ people, and the talent of the commander should be reused! ”

Xie Gang was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Hao's words, no one in this palace knew that the emperor's favorite son was Zhu Hao, at this moment Zhu Hao said this, which naturally made Xie Gang's heart surge, and he hurriedly bowed again: "The last will be cultivated by His Royal Highness, and the last will be successful in the future, and he will not forget His Highness's grace today!" ”

Zhu Hao smiled again: "Commander Xie, please hurry up!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wei Xiaobao and said: "This prince is injured and has difficulty moving, you go and help your eldest brother up for this prince!" ”

Wei Xiaobao responded, and stepped forward to help Xie Gang, at this moment, Xie Gang's eyes were red, and there were still crystals in his eyes, obviously because of Zhu Hao's actions just now, Corporal Lixian's actions were moved.

Although Zhu Hao was not sure whether Xie Gang's performance at the moment was true or false, he was sure that his first impression of this Xie Gang would definitely not be bad.

Just when Zhu Hao was thinking like this in his heart, the prompt sound of the system unexpectedly remembered:

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for accepting Wei Xiaobao's development talent Xie Gang!"

"Xie Gang's system rating is two stars!"

"Congratulations to the host for accepting a two-star talent for the first time!"

"The system rewards 500 summon points!"

A system prompt sound that made Zhu Hao a little dizzy made Zhu Hao a little dumbfounded, and he secretly said in his heart: "Nani, what kind of thing is this, there is still this kind of operation?" ”

Zhu Hao, who was full of questions at the moment, missed Xiao Ling, the system elf who could answer his questions, but now Xiao Ling fell into a deep sleep because of his selfishness, which made Zhu Hao feel deeply guilty at the moment.

However, this mood lasted for a while, Zhu Hao understood in his heart that now was a critical moment for survival, time was pressing, he quietly entered the system to check Xie Gang's loyalty, because this is very important to him, in case Xie Gang's loyalty is very low, and he may defect at any time, then some things cannot be handed over to Xie Gang to do.

This check, this Xie Gang's loyalty is really low, only a pitiful 20 points, which makes Zhu Hao lose his mind for a while, thinking that he has to find a way to improve Xie Gang's loyalty no matter what.

He looked at Xie Gang for a while, looked at Xie Gang uncomfortably, lowered his head to avoid Zhu Hao's eyes, Zhu Hao also knew that it would not work like this, I am afraid that I am staring at Xie Gang like this, I am afraid that the poor 20 points of loyalty will also be gone.

Thinking like this, Zhu Hao spoke: "Commander Xie, since you and Xiaobao are sworn brothers, then we are our own family, and the safety of this prince in the palace will depend more on the commander in the future!" ”

Xie Gang hugged his fists and saluted when he heard this: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the safety in the palace is already the responsibility of the last general, please rest assured, the last general will be loyal to his duties!" ”

Zhu Hao heard this, and secretly pouted in his heart: "These 20 points of loyalty are really unreliable!" This Xie Gang won't accept at all! ”

Zhu Hao originally meant to let Xie Gang take care of his own safety, but Xie Gang's answer implied that he would not give Zhu Hao special care, which made Zhu Hao very uncomfortable, and it seemed that it was imminent to improve Xie Gang's loyalty.

Zhu Hao was unhappy at the moment, but as an "actor", he did not have any unhappiness on his face, but still said with a warm smile: "In this way, there is a leader of Lao Xie!" I heard that you and Xiaobao met by playing dice? ”

This royal rule is strict, and the requirements for the Praetorian Guards are extremely harsh, they are strictly forbidden to gamble, not to mention that in this palace, it is absolutely lifeless, and it will also affect the family's felony.

When Xie Gang heard Zhu Hao ask, he thought that he didn't answer Zhu Hao's words just now, Zhu Hao wanted to take revenge on him, so frightened that Xie Gang's eight-foot man's body trembled slightly, and sweat was oozing densely on his forehead, and he said with some trembling: "The last general is guilty, and please Your Highness for the sake of the last general who saved His Highness just now, please let His Highness let go of the minister this time!" ”

Zhu Hao listened to Xie Gang's words and knew that Xie Gang had misunderstood what he meant, so he said: "Commander, you have misunderstood the meaning of this prince, this prince means that this prince is also quite interested in this way, I don't know if the commander is interested in accompanying this prince for a few nights?" ”

"This ......" Xie Gang looked at Zhu Hao dumbfounded, he never thought that Zhu Hao would say such a thing, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhu Hao looked at the look on Xie Gang's face, and knew that Xie Gang still had some estimates of him, so he pretended to be angry and said: "Commander Xie is like this, does he look down on this prince as just a child, and he is unwilling to play a few games with this prince?" ”

Xie Gang looked at Zhu Hao's unkind expression, and immediately explained: "Your Highness misunderstood the last general, but he was in a hurry in the future, and he didn't bring utensils?" I can't play a few games with His Highness, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness! At the end of another day, I will personally bring the utensils to ask His Highness for advice! ”

Zhu Hao looked at Xie Gang with a smile and said, "It's better to hit the day than to hit the day, just in the near future!" As he spoke, he looked at Wei Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, hurry up and take out the things!" ”

Wei Xiaobao looked at Zhu Hao and said, "How does Your Highness know that the slave has dice in his hand?" ”

Zhu Hao couldn't stop laughing in his heart when he heard this, no one who had seen Lu Ding Ji didn't know that the dice in Wei Xiaobao's hand would never leave his body. However, these Zhu Hao can't explain it to others.

just smiled mysteriously at Wei Xiaobao and said, "Don't ink!" Hurry up and take it out for this prince! ”

Wei Xiaobao took out a few dice from his arms, and carefully sent them to Zhu Hao as if he was holding some treasure.

Zhu Hao directly picked up a copper tripod incense burner beside him, poured all the incense ash and grains in it on the ground and said: "Commander Xie, you and I will throw it once, compare the size!" How about a tael of silver at a time? ”

Xie Gang saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he could only nod and agree, so he stepped forward to play with Zhu Hao, and Wei Xiaobao watched the battle from the sidelines. Zhu Hao, a rookie, where is the opponent of a veteran like Xie Gang, basically playing Zhu Hao nine times out of ten, probably in less than an hour, Zhu Hao lost more than a hundred taels, and the sky has been slightly polished, and a new day is coming.

Zhu Hao stretched himself and said, "Let's stop here today!" This prince is a little tired, and when he has time, this prince will go to the commander for advice! ”

Hearing this, Xie Gang bowed and said, "Since this is the case, then the general will retire first!" As he spoke, he stood up and was about to turn around and leave Zhu Hao's room, but the more than 100 taels of silver that Zhu Hao had won were placed on the table and not taken a penny.

Seeing this, Zhu Hao stopped Xie Gang and said, "Commander and slow, your loot hasn't been taken away yet?" As he spoke, he pointed to the more than a hundred taels of silver on the table.

Hearing this, Xie Gang turned around and saluted Zhu Hao: "This is His Highness's thing, even if the last general has ten guts, he won't dare to take His Highness's thing!" ”

Zhu Hao smiled when he heard this: "There is no father and son in the casino, if you win, you win, and if you lose, you lose, why don't you dare, is it possible that the commander thinks that this prince is the kind of villain who will pay his debts if he loses?" ”

Xie Gang was originally a military general, and after listening to Zhu Hao's words, he simply stopped twisting, stepped forward and loaded all the more than 100 taels of silver on the table, and said with a dry laugh: "Your Highness Xie, then the general will be disrespectful!" ”

Zhu Hao smiled and waved his hand so that Xie Gang could go.

At this time, the system's prompt sounded again:

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the talent Xie Gang hidden task 'Gambling and Character'!"

"Xie Gang's favorability towards the host has increased greatly!"

"Xie Gang's loyalty has increased by 30 points!"

Zhu Hao heard the prompt sound of the system, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this night was finally not busy, in fact, Zhu Hao originally wanted to get close to Xie Gang by rolling the dice, so as to gain Xie Gang's loyalty rise, but after playing for nearly an hour, he lost all his savings, and he could no longer continue to play, so he could only end up gloomily, although he was unwilling, but he really had no choice, but he didn't expect that just before Xie Gang left, there was such a turnaround, it was really "intentionally planting flowers and flowers not blooming, Unintentionally planted willows and willows! "It was an absolute bonus!

Just after the system's prompt sounded, Xie Gang turned around and knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, in the future, if there is anyone in this palace who is not good for His Highness, the last general will definitely find a way to protect His Highness!" ”

After saying that, Xie Gang got up and strode out of Zhu Hao's room, Zhu Hao looked at Xie Gang's departing back blankly, and said secretly in his heart: "The bonus of this 30 points of loyalty is not ordinary, although Xie Gang's loyalty is only 50 points now, but he is finally a person who can be trusted!" ”
