Chapter 1252: Appreciation and Slavery
"General Xu, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has heard of General Xu's prestige for a long time, and in the battle of Moon Worship City, he even saw General Xu's brave posture with his own eyes. The staff of the Four Princes' Mansion raised their glasses and complimented.
Xu Changlin raised his glass expressionlessly and drank the wine politely.
Shen Qianshan took over the conversation and said, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has always been a corporal of courtesy, and talents like General Xu have always been the most valued by His Royal Highness. ”
"Yes! Now that the Great Zhou Army has taken the Python Capital City and is approaching the Demon Emperor City, it is the time when General Xu is most needed to contribute to the Great Zhou Terran. If the Great Zhou army can attack the Demon Emperor City and destroy the Heavenly Demon Ancient Kingdom, it will be a great achievement to shake the ancient and the present. If the general who broke through the Demon Emperor City was General Xu, I don't know what General Xu thought?" said the staff of the Fourth Prince's Mansion tentatively.
Xu Changlin was always expressionless, and when he heard the question, he replied casually: "Xu, as a general of Longyuan, obeys the military orders of the Divine General, if the Wind God Iron Cavalry is fortunate enough to attack the Demon Emperor City, Xu will do his best." ”
The staff of the Four Princes' Mansion had already made it obvious just now, but Xu Changlin obviously did not answer.
The staff had to turn their heads to look at Jun Tian and asked.
Jun Tianwen laughed loudly and said: "General Xu, this king has long heard of your great name, and the wind god iron cavalry is under the leadership of General Xu, and his military achievements are impressive, and this king appreciates it very much." ”
His Highness praised it. Xu Changlin bowed his hand, and did not let people find fault with the etiquette.
Jun Tianwen continued: "As soon as this king saw General Xu, he felt very cordial, and he had a feeling of hating to see each other late. I invite General Xu to come here today, just to drink, and General Xu doesn't have to be so restrained. General Xu's armor must be very heavy, how can you have fun drinking like this? Come on, quickly disarm General Xu. ”
As soon as the words fell, two palace maids immediately stepped forward, knelt in front of Xu Changlin, and stretched out their hands to untie his armor.
Xu Changlin hurriedly pressed down on his helmet and said, "No need. It is stipulated in the army that the army will not be disarmed on the march. ”
Jun Tian was not reluctant to ask, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, then you don't need to disarm." Let's go down. ”
The two palace maids saluted and retreated.
Shen Qianshan praised: "General Xu is worthy of being the chief general of the Fengshen Iron Cavalry, and he is really disciplined. ”
Several staff members of the Four Princes' Mansion continued to praise Xu Changlin for a while, expressing the Four Princes' appreciation for him both inside and outside the words.
Xu Changlin's words and deeds are very well-behaved, and people can't find any mistakes.
The banquet lasted until late at night, and the staff of the Four Princes' Mansion repeated the intention of solicitation countless times, both openly and secretly.
Xu Changlin still responded very politely, and did not use a fierce word between his words.
Gradually, Jun Tianwen became a little impatient, and directly made his words clear: "General Xu, this king will say it directly, this king appreciates you very much, as long as you are willing to take refuge in the Great Zhou Army." This king will immediately hand over the 100,000 iron cavalry of the general to you, and you will be the commander of the largest cavalry on the Kyushu continent. When the day of the Demon Emperor City is breached, the official will be added to the knighthood, and the marquis will not be a problem. ”
The staff of the Fourth Prince's Mansion immediately answered: "Yes, General Xu. Your Highness appreciates you so much, and this is your chance. If you stay in the Longyuan army, you can only command 10,000 cavalry, what achievements can you have? As long as you surrender to the command of His Highness, you will directly become the commander of 100,000 iron cavalry. Looking at Kyushu, there is no second cavalry of this size. What are you waiting for?"
Xu Changlin has been dealing with this banquet for so long, he has been expressionless, his words and deeds are decent, and after hearing Jun Tianwen personally solicit him, he finally showed a chuckle and said, "Your Highness really wants me to join your command?"
"Naturally, this king will now promise you the position of the chief general of the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Great Zhou Army in front of Deputy Commander Shen and in front of everyone here. Isn't this kind of sincerity enough to impress you?" Jun Tian asked with the expression of Corporal Lixian, and there was a king-like courage in his speech.
Xu Changlin shook his head and said, "Xu is only afraid of his humble body, and he is not worthy of His Highness's love." ”
When Jun Tianwen heard this, he thought that Xu Changlin was humble, and felt that this time the recruitment was stable, and laughed loudly: "General Xu is modest, with General Xu's bravery, how can it be a humble drive?"
Xu Changlin laughed at himself, slowly stood up, stood in the center of the hall, slowly raised his hand, and took off the helmet.
Seeing this, the generals and staff present suddenly showed a smile on their faces, thinking that Xu Changlin was going to take off his helmet and bow down and join the command of the four princes.
Jun Tianwen smiled even brighter, and he was extremely excited at the thought of being able to have a fierce general like the Wind God Iron Cavalry.
He was already thinking about how to attack the Demon Emperor City, with a powerful cavalry like the Wind God Iron Cavalry, it would be effortless to break through the Demon Emperor City.
It's just that what people didn't expect was that after Xu Changlin took off his helmet, he revealed a tattoo on the left side of his forehead.
Xu Changlin looked up at Jun Tian and asked, chuckled, and asked, "Does Your Highness think that a lowly slave like me is worthy of your appreciation?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
Jun Tianwen immediately frowned, and suddenly felt that Xu Changlin was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
As early as when the Emperor of the People issued an order to reward the Longyuan Army, the crown prince and the four princes went to the ancient capital of Zhenjiao to reward them.
At that time, the Longyuan army held a banquet for the two princes.
At that time, not long after Ye Xuan and Qin Tai'a joined forces to repel the Netherworld Night God, they were injured by the power of the law.
At the reception banquet, Jun Tianwen once used wine to test Ye Xuan's injury.
At that time, all the generals of the Longyuan Army stepped forward to stop it, wanting to drink that glass of wine for Ye Xuan.
At that time, Xu Changlin also stood up, and he was not wearing armor, and the slave tattoo on his forehead was very eye-catching.
At that time, Jun Tianwen reprimanded Xu Changlin with a direct sentence: "A lowly slave is also worthy of drinking my royal wine?!"
It had only been a few months since that incident, but the lowly slave had become the guest of honor of the four princes.
Things changed too fast, and Xu Changlin felt a little ridiculous.
He took off his helmet, showed off his slave tattoo, and then bowed and saluted: "The last general was indeed a slave, and the major general rescued the last general from the hands of the heavenly demon and gave the last general a chance to take revenge." The last general's life is the young general's, and the humble body can't bear the love of His Royal Highness, so he confesses and leaves. ”
After Xu Changlin finished speaking, he bowed and saluted, then withdrew from the Feiluan Holy Drive, and left without looking back.
In the Feiluan Holy Drive, the expressions of Jun Tianwen and the others were extremely wonderful.
The stunned expression on Jun Tianwen's face gradually turned into anger, and he scolded: "Who went to find out the news? Why didn't he report his slave origins!"
The staff of the Four Princes' Mansion immediately knelt down and confessed.
Shen Qianshan sighed and shook his head helplessly.
In his opinion, if Jun Tianwen really wanted to recruit Xu Changlin, he should have stepped forward to help him up when he took off his helmet to reveal the slave tattoo, and was more polite and virtuous, so that he could get real loyalty.
However, Shen Qianshan didn't say anything, because he himself was a little dissatisfied with Jun Tianwen commanding the Great Zhou army.
