The meaning of the title of the dead soldier is actually "a warrior who is not afraid of death", this profession has formed a certain system as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, and then it has developed and grown until now.

There is a good saying, called "existence is reasonable", the profession of the dead is the same, for the sake of faith, or for the sake of glory and wealth, there are always people who go forward and devote themselves to the ranks of the dead, especially in feudal society, this situation is particularly common.

In this social context, the princes raised the dead for some private purposes, and in this era, the main tasks of the dead were only two - assault and assassination!

In the era of cold weapons, the risk of carrying out tasks such as assault and assassination is very large, so after accepting the task, the dead soldiers will prepare poison in advance, and if they succeed, they will take the initiative to eat poison and commit suicide, and keep the secret of their masters with their lives.

In this sense, they are also a pathetic group of people.

There is a poem in the Chronicles of the Assassins: This is how it is written.

"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone."

In one sentence, the tragedy of the assassin is vividly described.

Gao Ming's current identity is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he has no doubt that as long as he gives an order, someone will definitely die for him, but this does not mean that he will not be moved.

Because he is Gao Ming, not Li Chengqian.

"The last general, Zhang Sizheng, is willing to die for His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Hearing Zhang Sizheng's words, Gao Ming was moved, he went up and held the other party's hands, then helped him up, and then patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"I believe that you will die for me, but I hope that you will live well, and if you die, will this king not have a brother who can be trusted? Ha ha! ”

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Zhang Sizheng's eyes suddenly turned red. [Thousand ↑ Thousand △ Small ↓ Say △ Net W xQq ]

"Your Highness......"

For Zhang Sizheng, when he heard Gao Ming call him "brother", he had already decided to give his life to the other party.

This is his pride!

However, Gao Ming didn't know what he was thinking, looking at his expression of "moved to cry", Gao Ming was stunned for a moment.

"What's going on? Blue lean shiitake mushrooms? ”

At this moment when Gao Ming was stunned, he only heard a few sounds of "poof, poof", and saw that several other big men next to him also knelt down.

"May Your Highness die!"

The movements are neat and uniform, and the voice is also very loud, even the expression is similar to Zhang Sizheng, and he looks so moved that he is about to cry.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Gao Ming couldn't help but sigh a little, it turned out that it was so easy to win people's hearts!

In fact, Gao Ming himself also understands that the reason why the other party is like this is actually caused by the gap in identity and status.

Gao Ming, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, is at the top of the pyramid of the entire Tang Dynasty's power stage, and a big man like him, even if he just casually shows favor, can flatter many officials of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention these dead men with low status.

For others, Corporal Lixian may be considered a virtue, but for Gao Ming, treating others equally has become his habit.

Although Gao Ming's identity has changed dramatically from before, in his subconscious, he is still the same otaku who stayed up late for two packs of instant noodle money to play qualifying for others.

Therefore, although these days in order to adapt to his identity as the prince, he tries his best to pose as high as possible in front of his subordinates, but his nature cannot be changed.

Now Gao Ming looked at the Chinese characters kneeling on one knee in front of him, and he immediately helped them up one by one without hesitation, and every time he helped up someone, he gently patted the other party's shoulder and said "good brother", which moved a group of rough men to tears.

It is no exaggeration to say that according to the situation in front of them, even if Gao Ming makes them rebel, I'm afraid few people will back down!

At the beginning, the crown prince Li Chengqian raised the dead in order to do those disgraceful things, such as assassinating Li Tai, the king of Wei, assassinating his own teacher, and even preparing to rebel, but now Li Chengqian has disappeared and is replaced by Gao Ming.

Of course, Gao Ming is not stupid enough to rebel, which is simply a thankless task.

Although he inherited Li Chengqian's identity, Gao Ming did not plan to follow Li Chengqian's old path, because he knew that that road would not work, so he decided to eliminate some of those potential threats.

The Dead Soldier Camp is one of them, after all, once such a thing as raising the Dead is discovered, it is easy to invite trouble for yourself.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming directly called Su Gan Chengji and Zhang Sizheng to his study, and then asked them directly and clearly.

"How many of us are there?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, the expressions of Su Gan Chengji and Zhang Sizheng suddenly froze, and then they replied in unison: "A total of one hundred and eighty-eight people." ”

Hearing this number, Gao Ming was stunned for a moment.

At first, he thought that the number of these dead soldiers was only about a hundred, but he didn't expect that they were almost two hundred, and if they were replaced by the algorithm of the troops in later generations, so many people would be enough to form a reinforced company, and if so many people were exposed, I was afraid that he would be in big trouble.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly frowned, and then set his eyes on Zhang Sizheng.

"What about the loyalty of these people?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, Su Gan Chengji and Zhang Sizheng glanced at each other again, and then Su Gan Chengji nodded towards Gao Ming.

"Your Highness, these people are personally selected and trained by their subordinates, there is absolutely no problem with loyalty, and their skills are not bad, even against the most elite Qianniuwei, although they dare not say that they can win, but it is no problem to fight to the death."

As soon as the topic of Su Gan Chengji fell, Zhang Sizheng also nodded.

"Your Highness, when are we going to do it?"

Listening to the words of the two, Gao Ming was shocked again.

Originally, he just planned to ask and understand the strength of his subordinates, but it was better for Su Gan Chengji and Zhang Sizheng to compare, one compared the dead soldier with the royal guard Qianniuwei, and the other directly asked about the time to do it.

Damn, if someone else hears this, they still think he is going to rebel!

Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly burst out of anger, raised his fist and aimed at the heads of Su Gan Chengji and Zhang Sizheng "Dong Dong" is two bursts.

"Idiot! Don't talk nonsense if you don't know, you want to kill me? ”

In fact, with the skills of Su Gan Chengji and Zhang Sizheng, it was still very easy to dodge, but they didn't do it, but they were born by these two clever chestnuts, and then looked at him blankly.

"Then His Highness means ......"

Looking at the doubts on the faces of the two, Gao Ming suddenly sighed.

"Alas, I haven't given you a clear explanation, no wonder you want to be crooked, the reason why I recruited you is actually mainly to protect my safety, not to let you do anything shady."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming patted the shoulders of Xu Gan Chengji and Zhang Sizheng again, and then nodded towards them.

"I didn't think it through before, but now I decide, I can't let you live in a dark corner all the time, since you can die for me, I naturally can't treat you badly, so I decided to give you an upright identity!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Su Gan Chengji's eyes suddenly widened in shock, revealing an incredible expression.

Can a dead man also have an upright identity? With an upright identity, is a dead man still a dead man?
