Huang Shao entered Bashui County and was led all the way to the prefect's mansion. He felt very nervous.
The soldiers who brought him here on the road kept reminding him of the etiquette to pay attention to when meeting General Zhe Chong. Huang Shao remembered them all in his mind and reminded himself over and over again that he dared not miss them.
Finally entering the main hall of the prefect's mansion, the soldiers behind him stopped in front of the door and motioned for him to go in alone.
Huang Shao took several deep breaths and stepped across the threshold with trembling feet. When he reached the middle of the hall, he didn't even see the person sitting in front of him clearly. He knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Huang Shao, Qimu Town, Chengzhou, pays homage to General Zhe Chong!"
"Get up!" came a majestic voice from above.
"Thank you, General!" Huang Shao stood up slowly, raised his head to take a look, and then quickly lowered his head.
Jia Zhengjin was sitting in the position of the prefect, with no one else around him.
He was not worried about Huang Shao recognizing him, after all, he was the projection of General Zhechong Yu Cheng.
His eyes fell on the Qinglong Sword that Huang Shao carried on his back, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Yue Lang was really generous and gave him another treasure.
Jia Zhengjin didn't speak, just looked at Huang Shao quietly.
This made Huang Shao nervous. He didn't know how to respond, and he didn't dare to speak casually, so he could only stay calm.
After a while, Jia Zhengjin finally spoke: "Are you from Qimu Town?"
"Yes, General!" Huang Shao responded quickly.
"Are you looking for Diao Jun, who is also from Qimu Town? Are you brothers with different surnames?" Jia Zhengjin asked again.
The soldiers had already reported it, Huang Shao lowered his head and said: "Return to the general, that's exactly what happened!"
"There is a man named Diao Jun in my army, who is also from Qimu Town. Maybe he is the person you are looking for!" Jia Zhengjin said.
"General, is the Vice General Diao they are talking about the soldiers you forcibly recruited from Qimu Town Prison?" Huang Shao raised his head and asked anxiously.
"Huh?" Jia Zhengjin narrowed his eyes, showing an unhappy expression.
Huang Shao reacted and hurriedly knelt down: "I'm sorry, General! Huang Shao is rude..."
Jia Zhengjin looked at him indifferently and said nothing.
Huang Shao was extremely nervous. The man in front of him could make him lose his head with just one sentence. He must not offend him. Thinking of this, he quickly changed his mind and said, "General, could the Vice General Diao you mentioned also come from Qimu Town?"
The word "forced conscription" just mentioned is obviously inappropriate.
Sure enough, after changing his words, "General Zhe Chong" looked a little better. His eyes moved on Huang Shao and he said calmly: "I can't remember these trivial things! But Vice General Diao is from Qimu Town, maybe!"
"General!" Huang Shao suddenly became excited. "Huang Shao came from Qimu Town to clear Diao Jun's grievances. He did not commit a crime that day, but was wrongly accused. Please let him go home with me, General."
!”
"It doesn't matter whether a person was wronged before or not when he is here with me!" Jia Zhengjin said, "No matter who he was before, he is now my deputy general. Deputy General Diao has made military exploits in previous battles and has outstanding abilities. This general is planning to promote him.
How can you let him leave with you?"
"This..." Huang Shao thought for a while, "General, can we let Huang Shao meet Jun'er?"
"Diao Jun is leading troops outside now and is responsible for detecting the movements of Miao County." Jia Zhengjin tapped his fingers on the table lightly, "The mission is very important and cannot be affected by anything!"
"Don't worry, general!" Huang Shao raised his head, "You only need to give me a war horse, and there is no need to prepare anything else. I will rush over by myself to meet Jun'er!"
Jia Zhengjin thought to himself, how could you and him meet here? The reason why he let you enter the city was a deliberate arrangement to make the chance of you meeting him even smaller.
He said to Huang Shao: "Vice General Diao's mission is related to the survival of our soldiers and civilians in Bashui County, and there will be no room for mistakes! I believe in his ability, and with Vice General Cen leading him, he will be able to return safely. At this moment, no matter what
Allow anyone to interfere with the reconnaissance mission."
"General..."
"If this is your only request, then don't say it again!" Jia Zhengjin said, "I'll give you two choices. One is to stay in the city and wait; the other is to leave the city and return to Qimu Town!"
Huang Shao was a little anxious. After thinking about it, he said, "General, is there a third way?"
"Third way?"
"Yes! I must take Jun'er back to Qimu Town with me."
"He won't be able to go there before this war is over!" Jia Zhengjin said expressionlessly, "This general has been ordered to capture Bashui County. This is the most critical time. If we cannot hold Bashui County and wait for reinforcements, all our previous efforts will be wasted. Diao
The lieutenant general received a treasure from an immortal, and he is invincible with a wolf-toothed awl. He is exactly the talent that the general needs. He is indispensable in pacifying Ba Shui! If you insist on taking him away, I, the general, will chop off your head first!"
Huang Shao shrank his neck when he heard this and was frightened.
But after thinking about it carefully, he raised his head and asked, "General, do we have to finish this battle before we can let Jun'er go home?"
"If this battle is won, all the soldiers will be rewarded!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "When he returns in triumph, he will naturally be given time to go home and visit his relatives. The general is in urgent need of talents, and he will have to reuse Deputy General Diao in the future. Don't stop him.
future!"
Huang Shao lowered his head and pondered, and then replied: "It is his blessing that Jun'er is respected by the general! But I am very worried about him and can't worry about him. I am willing to join the army and ask the general to send me to Jun'er, at least let my brother side by side."
Fight!"
"As I said just now, Vice General Diao's mission this time is very important, and there is no room for any mistakes!" Jia Zhengjin said, "Until they complete their reconnaissance mission and return with their troops, no changes will be allowed. You want to join the army and want to work alongside him.
You can fight! But you have to wait until Vice General Diao comes back! Vice General Diao will be very safe as he follows Vice General Cen. Vice General Cen is a rare and fierce general, and he will definitely be able to protect Vice General Diao!"
What else could Huang Shao do? If he wanted to see Diao Jun, he had to ask General Zhe Chong for his grace. The other party made it clear that no interruptions were allowed on this mission, so the only thing he could do was to stay in Bashui County and pray for his safe return.
At that moment, he cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Huang Shao is willing to obey the general's order. I also hope that the general will let me be transferred to Jun'er's side when he returns."
"There are so many people who want to be my general's soldiers. Why should I accept you? Just because you are the brother of Vice General Diao? This reason is too far-fetched!" Jia Zhengjin showed a bored expression, "What are you capable of?"
Huang Shao quickly untied his ties and took off the Green Dragon Sword from his back: "General, Jun'er received a treasure from the gods, and Huang Shao also had an adventure! I lost a fairy treasure before, but the gods gave me another Qinglong Sword.
!This sword is incredibly powerful and can help me kill the enemy!"
"Oh?" Jia Zhengjin pretended to be surprised, "Both of your brothers actually had adventures? However, you have to prove yourself first, otherwise the general will just treat you as an ordinary soldier and throw you into the army. I want to transfer you to Lieutenant General Diao
My subordinates, let’s see if you have this ability!”
"General, just ask," Huang Shao said hurriedly.
"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "Since you have had an adventure and obtained a treasure, you want to prove yourself. The general ordered you to go with the army to Yuanzhou to spy on the military situation there. If you can complete the task and prove your strength, I will agree
