Chapter 22: The Temptation to Stay
Xu Qi walked in with a smile, clasped his fists and saluted, followed by two generals.
Ling Xiaohan looked at it, but there was no Zhu Jun, and snorted: "What about the pig that was so NB yesterday?" Why didn't you follow? β
Xu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Is the young hero talking about General Zhu?" General Zhu was already waiting for the hero at the banquet, and General Zhu was also remorseful about yesterday's incident, and was thinking of taking advantage of this banquet to apologize to the hero. β
Ling Xiaohan said: "What is there to thank, there will be opportunities in the future, anyway, I will remember him." β
Xu Qi bowed and said: "General Zhu is both civil and military, and he is a loyal and righteous man......"
"Alright, alright!" Ling Xiaohan became impatient, "Didn't you say it once?" β
The general behind Xu Qi showed anger on his face.
Xu Jue was stunned for a moment, and then forced a smile: "The banquet has been prepared, just waiting for the hero to go." β
"Don't go!" Ling Xiaohan's tone was not good, "You return my weapon to me, I'm leaving!" β
Xu Jue was taken aback: "Hero...... Where are you going? β
"Get out of here, understand?" Ling Xiao was cold, "Do I have to ask you for advice where I go?" β
Xu Jue hurriedly said: "Don't blame the hero, what the official wants, the hero saved the people of this city, the people are all grateful to Dade, and the official is also grateful to the hero...... I wonder why the general insisted on leaving? β
Ling Xiaohan said: "I'm going to kill the thief, it's useless to stay here with you!" β
The two generals behind Xu Qi clasped their fists and said: "Since the young hero has made up his mind, it is better to obey his request." β
Xu Jue frowned, and said to Ling Xiaohan: "The hero killed the 'Grand Governor' of the thief army, strengthened my Han Tianwei, and made such a great achievement, the imperial court will definitely reward and reuse it...... Moreover, Ben Taishou has already sent someone to report to the imperial court, and there will be a response in a few days, and if the hero leaves, Ben Taishou
I think it's not appropriate. β
In the end, Xu Jue's tone became more and more serious.
Ling Xiaohan's eyes lit up: "You mean, the imperial court will give me a lot of money, right?" β
Xu Jue laughed and shook his head: "The Yellow Turban anti-thief's 'Metropolitan Governor', although he is self-appointed, it can also be seen that this thief's status in the thief army is that the imperial court sent troops to repeatedly kill to no avail, so he hung a heavy reward...... The hero killed this thief, and the bounty was naturally indispensable, but not only that, Ben Taishou decided,
The Son of Heaven will also knight the hero and reuse it. β
"Yes."
Ling Xiaohan was moved - this is a shortcut to soaring, if this is the case, it can be regarded as a very considerable first step for customs clearance.
"Of course, how dare Ben Taishou deceive the hero......" Seeing Ling Xiaohan's heart, Xu Jue's face was happy, "If the hero still doesn't believe it, Ben Taishou can make a guarantee, if the court really doesn't reuse the hero, the official will definitely admonish again and again and recommend the hero." β
The two generals behind him hurriedly said: "Taishou, since the young hero has the ambition to attack the thief army, it is better to borrow him thousands of soldiers and horses to crusade against the thief army, and he will definitely make more great contributions, and it will not be too late for Taishou to report his merits." β
"This ......" Xu Qi seemed to hesitate and looked at Ling Xiaohan.
Ling Xiaohan was very unhappy: "Damn, am I stupid!" I don't want your soldiers! You want me to die for you, dream of you! β
Xu Jue panicked: "Don't be angry, the official has no such intention, don't misunderstand the hero!" β
After speaking, he turned his head and scolded the two generals: "Don't say anything more!" β
The two generals muttered, "Yes......"
"Alright, don't act!" Ling Xiaohan was impatient, "Give me back my things, I'll go alone!" β
Xu Jue hurriedly said: "Heroes should not act rashly, and listen to the advice of the official: the imperial edict will arrive in a few days, and the hero will wait patiently, and after receiving the edict, it is not too late to decide to stay...... Moreover, there are several anti-thief soldiers and horses outside Anding City, and now they know that Ma Yuanyi was killed by the hero, and the thief army is eager to take revenge. β
Ling Xiaohan was right to think about it, if he met a master again and was poisoned, no one would be able to save him.
Xu Qi bowed: "I also hope that the hero will cherish the common people, think of the people in the city, and stay in this city." β
The expressions of the two generals changed again, and they hurriedly said: "Taishou, this matter ......"
"Alright! Since you are so strongly trying to keep me, if I insist on leaving, it will be too shameful for you, right?" Ling Xiaohan said with a smile, "Then I'll be here first, and I'll wait for some books to come." β
After speaking, Ling Xiaohan looked at the two generals with angry facesβhe could also see that those generals didn't want him to stay, since this was the case, he preferred to stay, to see what those generals had to say.
Xu Jue was overjoyed: "The hero's righteousness is really admirable to Ben Taishou!" β
"It's okay," Ling Xiaohan smiled and raised his eyebrows at the two generals, "Are they a little dissatisfied?" β
Xu Qi hurriedly said: "The hero can stay in Baocheng, and all the officials and people in Anding City are all happy, how can there be dissatisfaction?" β
After speaking, Xu Jue shouted sharply to the two generals: "Go down!" Tell the crowd to wait, and the feast will start immediately! β
"Yes......" The two generals naturally didn't dare to disobey the order, and after glancing at Ling Xiaohan, they retreated.
"The banquet is ready, please go to the banquet with Ben Taishou." Xu Jue made a "please" gesture.
Ling Xiaohan was not interested in going to the banquet, so he said, "I'm not going, you send someone to bring me delicious food." β
Xu Jue was embarrassed: "This ......"
Ling Xiaohan's tone was firm: "What is this, that, if you don't go, you won't go!" β
Xu Jue nodded and said, "Yes, it's up to the hero." β
Ling Xiaohan said: "By the way, send me my weapons too." β
Xu Jue smiled: "This is natural...... However, the official thinks that the hero's martial arts are outstanding, and the sleeve knife is just an ordinary weapon, but it is difficult to match the prestige of the hero. β
Ling Xiaohan frowned: "What do you mean, just say it!" Don't go around, I don't understand! β
Xu Jue said: "Ben Taishou has ordered the skillful generals in the city to create high-grade fine iron weapons for heroes to use. β
Ling Xiaohan was a little surprised: "Huh? Are you going to make me a weapon? β
"Exactly."
Ling Xiaohan was in a much better mood, thought for a while, and said, "What does the weapon look like?" The way my knife looks pretty good......"
Xu Qi smiled: "The weapon created for the general is made in the shape of a sleeve knife, but it is far sharper than the sleeve knife. β
"Did you do it with my weapon?" Ling Xiaohan was very happy, "Yes, you think very well!" Ha ha! β
Xu Jue said happily: "It will take a few days for the weapons to be forged, so please take a look at the heroes at that time." β
"Okay!" Ling Xiaohan said, "Then you also give me my weapon first, or I have no self-defense." β
Xu Jue said: "Yes, the official immediately ordered someone to return the sleeve knife." β
