Xiao Ke's words were very straightforward and clear, this was the empire's reward for Qi Heng, and it was also for Qi Heng's recruitment.

If they accept the order, it means that Qi Heng and they accept the recruitment of the empire, and in the future, they will not be the heroes of the lawless land, but the serious nobles of the empire, the earls of the empire. In the future, he will follow the imperial family and serve the country.

Rights are often combined with obligations, and when you enjoy certain rights, you are bound to fulfill certain obligations.

Qi Heng and Yan Nangui, Zhao Buping, and Wei Changyun looked at each other, exchanging opinions with their eyes, which was for the four of them, but a major change in their lives must be cautious, and they should think about it before deciding.

However, although they are the powerhouses of the landless land, they are really nothing to the top powerhouses of Liu Zongzhai. Their foundation in the land of lawlessness is not as strong as they imagined, and they have seen a lot of this kind of thing if there is no guarantee that tomorrow there will be nothing. For example, Chu Xiong, Qin Liao and other streams before were a little majestic when they were alive, but after they died, they had nothing left, and they couldn't leave anything for future generations.

Who doesn't come to the land of lawlessness to fight for glory and wealth?

The count, in the Empire, was already considered a nobleman.

And worshipping the marquis has been the dream of all men since ancient times.

Therefore, after thinking about it again, Qi Heng and the others finally made a decision, that is, to accept Zhao'an, give up their identity as Haoqiang, and become a part of the empire.

Of course, the reason why they decided was not simply because of the emperor's recruitment, but also because of the reward of the mere earl, but more because of Xiao Ke.

These people can also see that Xiao Ke is definitely the key support object of His Majesty the new emperor, and he became a prince at a young age, which is unheard of among soldiers from civilian backgrounds.

Qi Heng felt that Xiao Ke was still very young, the road ahead was still very long, and there were more opportunities, following Xiao Ke, they would not worry about becoming a high-class nobleman in the empire in the future, so the four of them glanced at each other, and suddenly knelt down in unison: "The ministers will receive the order!" ”

Seeing this, Xiao Ke was very satisfied, personally helped Qi Heng a few, and said with a smile: "Haha, in the future, I and you will all be ministers of the same dynasty." ”

Qi Heng and the others hurriedly said: "How dare you, we have all decided, and in the future, we will swear to follow the Lord Guogong to the death, and I will not hesitate to follow the Lord Guogong to the death." ”

Xiao Ke naturally heard that Qi Heng was expressing his loyalty, which also meant that from this moment on, Xiao Ke truly integrated all the troops of Bai Zecheng, and really had nearly 200,000 soldiers under his command, this combat power. It is impossible to ignore it in the entire lawless land, and even if it is placed in the entire empire, it is definitely a powerful force.

With these 200,000 soldiers, Xiao Ke, Xiao Guogong, is like a tiger with wings, looking at the entire empire, no one dares to look down on it, and whoever sees Xiao Guogong in the future will have to give three points of face.

In the next few days, Xiao Ke first sent away Gonggong Li and a group of court angels, and then began to integrate the fighting forces of Bai Ze City, and in addition, he encouraged cultivation again, reduced black market taxes, stimulated black market transactions, and turned Bai Ze City into a vibrant city again.

Qin Bing was summoned by the Queen Mother, so she returned to Beijing with Gonggong Li.

Xiao Ke asked Gonggong Li privately about the rumors that the Queen Mother saw Qin Bing in order to find the imperial concubine, and Gonggong Li smiled and said that there was absolutely no such thing.

Xiao Ke told Qin Bing about Gonggong Li's answer, and Qin Bing was relieved to go to Qilin City with Gonggong Li to meet the Queen Mother.

Not long after Qin Bing and Gonggong Li and the others left, one day, a group of uninvited guests came to Bai Zecheng.

It turned out to be the person of the leaf valve!

The wife of Ye Wenzhu, who is the leader of Ye Yun, is Ye Yun's second aunt, Mei Baichun, and the rest are her guards.

Ye Yun is at home, in fact, he is most loved by Ye Valve's group of female relatives, such as grandmothers, such as mothers, and a group of aunts and aunts. On weekdays, if Ye Yun does something wrong, the elders in the family must be severely punished, and it is these aunts and aunts who stand up to defend it.

Therefore, Ye Yun has a very close relationship with Mei Baichun and other aunts and aunts.

Ye Yun learned that the second aunt was coming, and hurriedly came out to greet him.

Xiao Ke, as the master of Bai Zecheng here, and Ye Yun's sworn brother, naturally came to greet Ye Yun together.

Mei Baichun is thirty-five or sixteen years old, beautiful, but has a bold personality, she happily took Ye Yun's hand when she saw Ye Yun: "Yun'er, if you don't see it, I really want to die to my second aunt." ”

Ye Yun blushed a little and asked in a low voice, "Second aunt, why did you come here?" ”

Mei Baichun said narrowly: "Why, it seems that I am not welcome to come." ”

Ye Yun hurriedly said, "No! ”

Mei Baichun said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for too long this time, let's see if you're okay, besides, I'm also very curious about your one, I haven't seen you yet, so I'm going to take a look at him." ”

Your one!

Ye Yunqiao's face turned red instantly, and she hurriedly said, "Second aunt, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

Mei Baichun said with a smile: "I didn't talk nonsense, I came here to see your sworn brother, Xiao Ke, who is said to have broken through the army of millions of zombies and was named Xiao Guogong by His Majesty." ”

When Mei Baichun said this, he turned his head to look at the slender handsome man beside Ye Yun, who was wearing a battle robe and had an extraordinary bearing.

Mei Baichun smiled and said, "If I guessed correctly, Your Excellency should be Xiao Guogong, Lord Xiao, right?" ”

Xiao Ke hurriedly said: "Second aunt, Ye Yun and I are sworn brothers, both of them are our own family, you can call me Xiao Ke, don't call me a knight." ”

Mei Baichun winked at Ye Yun and said narrowly: "Yes, yes, yes, they are all their own family, they can't give birth, they can't give birth, hehe." ”

Ye Yun knew that the second aunt had something to say, and she was teasing her, and her pretty face flushed again.

……

At this moment, Qin Bing and his entourage also came to the backyard of the palace in Zhongzhou Qilin City.

Qin Bing came to the dormitory where the Queen Mother lived and waited in the garden pavilion, with many palace maids and eunuchs next to him.

After waiting for a long time, I suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and then I saw a middle-aged woman in a gorgeous palace dress, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and the guards and the stars, and at the same time, I heard someone singing: "The Queen Mother has arrived-"

Qin Bing hurriedly followed the people around him to kneel down in unison, and said in his mouth: "The commander of the Vermilion Bird Battalion under the jurisdiction of the Steel Battle Regiment, the commander of the empire, Qin Bing, see the Queen Mother." ”

"Qin Bing, raise your head and let the mourning family take a good look at you!"

Qin Bing raised her head stiffly, and the Queen Mother, who was wearing gorgeous palace clothes, looked at her with a smile.

The Queen Mother nodded and praised while looking at it: "Not bad, not bad, very beautiful, very suitable......"

Qin Bing's mood suddenly became nervous, shouldn't she really be choosing a concubine for His Majesty, she didn't want to be a concubine, what should I do!

What Qin Bing didn't know was that the Queen Mother was not choosing a concubine for Her Majesty, but choosing a wife for Xiao Ke.
