Chapter 83
It feels good to rectify the Ghost King with my own hands, but I don’t know what will be waiting for me.
When Zhao Yun saw that I had scattered the ghost king's soul with a whip, he immediately became emotional and rushed to my side. He grabbed the Fengdu sword and the soul-beating whip and said, "You are in big trouble! What are you doing? Really?"
Do I need you to do it? Zhao Wu is my brother who has been in the army all his life, and I hate the ghost king more deeply than you do. But the imperial edict is the imperial edict. The emperor himself said to spare his life, how dare you...
…”
At this point, Zhao Yun couldn't talk anymore. At this time, Zilong also ran over, knelt down and said: "Master, don't blame Uncle, it's all my fault. I told Uncle to help Zhao."
Wu took revenge, I was blinded by hatred for a moment and harmed my uncle."
"Don't say that to Zilong. Zhao Wu's death has long been deeply engraved in my heart. I have long thought that one day I could rectify my enemy with my own hands. Now that my great revenge has been avenged, I have finally achieved my wish.
"I said with a smile.
"Hey, junior brother, why are you doing this? Now that you have become famous, the title of the Yin Division God is already yours, but..." Zhao Yun said.
"Brother, there is no need to lament. I am determined to revitalize the Wu family. I have never thought of staying in the Yin Division to serve. Thanks to your help and the emperor's love, I got this title. If the emperor thinks that my virtue is not worthy of the title, then what will happen to this great hero?"
It’s okay not to have a title.” I said.
"Go back home first, junior brother, I will personally intercede for you." After saying that, Zhao Yun rode on the soul horse and hurried towards Fengdu City. I understood that Zhao Yun was going to intercede for me.
Everyone returned to the Commander's Mansion together. According to the original plan, I was supposed to recruit the three heroes' millions of Yin soldiers at this time, but after this commotion, I didn't know what to do.
Just when we returned to the Commander's Mansion, a sentry rider suddenly rushed over and shouted: "Who is General Wu!"
"I am." I said walking out.
The sentry rider jumped off his horse and said: "General Wu, Sima Sima ordered Wu Ming to set off immediately to recruit the three heroes' army, and promptly report what happened to the White Tiger."
"Gone?" I said.
"Yes, Sima wants you to go immediately. What he means is that only White Tiger seems to be able to save you at the moment." The sentry knight said.
"Okay, I'm done." After saying that, I was ready to ride on the soul horse and go to Sanxiong's base camp.
"Tomorrow!" Mengzhu and Yingying called to me.
"What's wrong?" I said.
"Let's go with you." they said.
"This is an extraordinary time, so I'd better go alone." I said.
"Brother Wu! Let me go with you. When you encounter difficult choices, I can also help you think of a solution." Shao Yi said suddenly.
I wanted to refuse, but then I thought, maybe it would be good to have a helper like Shao Yi. Besides, Fifth Grandpa said before that if you want to restore the glory of the Wu family, you must get along with heroes from all walks of life, so I will start from Shao Yi.
Start and embark on the path to becoming a god.
Thinking of this, I said: "Then there are brothers Lao Shao, Mengzhu, and Yingying. You should stay at the handsome manor. Zilong, take care of them for me."
"Don't worry, uncle, you should go and come back early." Zilong said.
Shao Yi and I set foot on the road to the Sanxiong Base Camp. It is not far from the base camp, so we arrived in a short time.
There were several guards standing at the door. They had all seen me causing trouble in the Three Heroes camp and fighting against the Three Heroes. I thought to myself that by now they should understand that the situation was over and why I was here. They must have looked at me without saying I was servile.
You should be treated politely, but as soon as I stepped forward, a guard led by me came over and said, "Who is here?"
"You don't know me?" I said.
"I only know Master Sanxiong, and I don't know anyone else," the guard said.
"I'm here just to recruit troops, you guys get out of the way!" After hearing what he said, I was a little angry.
"I'm sorry, I didn't get any military orders, so I asked the general to show him the military orders," the guard said.
"I have rebelled against you, and I still need a military order! Do you think this military order is enough?" After saying that, I placed the gentian silver gun in front of the guard and threatened him.
Unexpectedly, he was unmoved and said: "General, you can kill me, but this is also my duty!"
I didn't know what to do for a while, but Shao Yi said: "This hero, we two are friends of Master Baihu. This General Wu Mingwu is the great hero of Fengdu who was just conferred by the emperor. He is the same as the three masters."
We call the Four Heroes of Fengdu, and we are all one family. Do you think this is okay? Go and inform the Three Heroes or Mr. Baihu, we will be waiting here."
"It turns out to be Lord Shenxiong. We are all under the command of the four heroes of Fengdu. I have offended you just now. Please come in!" Although the guard's attitude softened at this time, his tone was still decisive and brave, which made me admire him.
The three heroes may not be handsome, and it is difficult to control thousands of troops as powerful as their own troops.
Seeing that their attitude had softened, I said:
"Where is Sanxiong now?" I asked.
"Lord Shenxiong, the three adults have already gone to Fengdu City, saying that they want to face the king to confess their crimes." the guard said.
"Where is Master Baihu?" I asked again.
"In the Chinese army's tent." the guard said.
"Let's go, Brother Shao, let's go to the big tent first." After saying that, Shao Yi and I walked in together.
"Brother Wu, what do you think of Sanxiong's so-called confession of sin in front of the king?" Shao Yi said.
"Three heroes knew that they were guilty of serious crimes and went to surrender?" I said.
"It's too bad, the three heroes are actually trying to force the palace." Shao Yi said.
"Forced?" I said.
"That's right, Sima's purpose of asking you to come quickly to recruit is self-evident. He is worried about the long nights and many dreams and fear of accidents, so he is so anxious. And you see, the camp is heavily guarded and orderly. How can there be recruitment?
I feel that the three heroes are trying to use the remaining power of the million-strong army to force Emperor Fengdu not to punish them. After all, everyone has seen the fate of Niutou." Shao Yi said.
"Then what do you mean, senior brother, is to make me redeem myself and make meritorious service?" I suddenly realized.
"Yes, Sima is very thoughtful. After meeting the emperor, he must not have expressed his feelings directly, but reminisced about the past in a roundabout way. During the chat, Sima must have sensed the emperor's worries, so he sent a sentry to inform you immediately and asked you to come.
Recruit here, I believe that the day you succeed in recruiting is the day when the emperor pardons you." Shao Yi said.
"Then why does Senior Brother ask me to find Master Baihu?" I was a little confused.
"I don't know about this. When you meet Mr. Baihu, you can ask him face to face." Shao Yi said.
"Thank you, Brother Shao, for your advice." After hearing Shao Yi's words, I woke up from a dream and quickly thanked him.
"Brother Wu, you're welcome. Come in quickly." As he spoke, he had already arrived at the Chinese army's tent.
The two of us walked in together, and saw Bai Hu lying on a table looking at the map. When he saw me coming, he was overjoyed and said, "Wu Ming! You are finally here."
"Master Baihu, why do you still have to ask me to come?" I asked.
"It's too difficult to say. Come on, sit down and talk slowly." Bai Hu said.
After the two of us sat down, Bai Hu said, "Who is this?"
"Sir Baihu, this junior is Shao Yi, a descendant of the Meihua Shao family." Shao Yi said.
"I know, plum blossoms are easy to count, and Taishan Beidou is the master of divination in the Central Plains. It seems that you are also a young hero." Bai Hu said.
"Master Baihu is so complimentary." Shao Yi said.
"Okay, let's stop talking. I'll tell you first why I have to let you come. It's because I found that Sanxiong didn't really confess his guilt. You must have felt it after you came in." Bai Hu said.
"Yes, after I came in, I felt that the camp was in order and there was no intention of inclusion." I said.
"Yes, that's why I asked you to come by name. With your strength, I think you can successfully recruit them without losing a fight. If it were Zilong and others, there would probably be another fight." Bai Hu said.
"Thank you for your compliment. Actually, I also want to ask you something." I said.
"But it doesn't matter." Bai Hu said.
So I beat the ghost king to death in the execution ground, and then Zhao Yun asked me to come here quickly to recruit him and tell him about asking for help from White Tiger.
After hearing this, Bai Hu was shocked and said: "You have caused a big disaster. Although this Fengdu Ghost King is uneducated and domineering, he has a very good relationship with the emperor, so the emperor pardoned him. Yin Cao Sima asked you to come to him.
I'm asking for help, but my meaning is very clear. I want me to give you some guidance and beg for mercy. Actually, I feel like you should have already noticed this."
"Actually, no, thanks to my friend's advice, I finally understood." I said.
"They are all young heroes, and their future generations will be formidable." Bai Hu said.
Shao Yi bowed his head to show respect, and Bai Hu continued: "Recruiting a million Yin soldiers and cutting off the wings of the three male heroes for the emperor is considered a crime for you, but there is another meaning. I don't know if you understand it."
Shao Yi and I were a little confused when we heard this, and said, "Master Baihu, please make it clear."
"After recruiting millions of Yin soldiers, where should the Emperor put you?" Bai Hu asked.
Bai Hu's words were like an enlightenment. My whole body felt like I was electrocuted. There was such a profound meaning in it. If we recruit millions of Yin soldiers, although the threat of the three heroes is solved, in fact, the dragon slayer will end up in the end.
Just become a dragon.
"Thank you, Mr. Baihu, for your advice. This junior has an epiphany." I quickly made a bow and said.
"Don't thank me in a hurry. You saw it when you came in. They said there were millions of Yin soldiers. In fact, the most important thing is the 100,000 soldiers and horses in this base camp. These were the three heroes who were guarding the three gates of Fengdu.
This headquarters is an army that I personally control. They are naturally extremely loyal, brave and unstoppable. If you don't have some means, it will be really difficult to recruit them." Bai Hu said.
"Then what can Master Baihu do?" I said.
"As the saying goes, capture the thief first and capture the king first. You must find the lifeblood of these evil soldiers and ghost generals before you can prescribe the right medicine. Most of these soldiers grew up from the sea of blood. Loyalty is the most important thing to them. You need to think of a solution from this perspective.
