Shangguan Hu looked dejectedly at the more than 300 subordinates who had made a commotion just now, but were shot dead on the spot by Zhan Peng and suppressed by Zhan Peng's men. He had a look of guilt and remorse on his face. He shouldn't have killed him for his own desires.
He brought his loyal brothers to death, clasped his fists and said to Wang Junlin: "Qin Anhou, I still have gold and silver treasures in the stronghold that can hold at least ten carts. I am willing to give them to you. I only ask Qin Anhou to let my brothers go."
Leave. I won’t resist if I want to kill or scrape you."
Wang Junlin shook his head and said playfully: "Shangguan Hu, do you think that the gold and silver treasures in your village still belong to you?"
When Shangguan Hu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and sadly, but he still refused to give up. He gritted his teeth and said: "My Shangguan family has a secret recipe for tempering exercises and medicines that has been passed down orally. As long as you have good qualifications, you can practice until the end of the power period. I am willing to
Dedicate it to the Marquis, and I just ask the Marquis to let my brothers go away."
Wang Junlin still shook his head and said in a cold voice: "I won't bother you. Either you and your brothers surrender to me and work for me, or you all die. You make your own choice!"
"Master Hou, Shangguan Hu is Yang Su's confidant. Master Hou and Yang Su have a sworn hatred. He will not truly surrender to Master Hou." Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang's face suddenly changed and he knelt down in front of Wang Junlin, anxious.
said the voice.
Shangguan Hu was still hesitant at first. After all, his father had a close friendship with Yang Su. His ability to control the Eighteen Villages in the Qinling Mountains was inseparable from Yang Su's secret support for his armor, weapons and horses, although it was not as good as Zhang Liang's.
The person he spoke of was Yang Su's confidant, but he was a person who knew how to repay his kindness and was indeed unwilling to go against Yang Su.
But he is also a person who hates evil as much as he hates hatred, and has a clear sense of grudges, especially for villains like Zhang Liang who betrayed his brothers the most in his life. Therefore, when he heard Zhang Liang's words, he made a decision and glanced at Zhang Liang with hatred.
, said to Wang Junlin: "Qin Anhou, if you let me kill Zhang Liang, a despicable villain, I, Shangguan Hu, will be willing to surrender to you. As for my brothers, I hope Qin Anhou will not force it."
Wang Junlin's eyes flashed and he glanced at Zhang Liang who was kneeling on the ground. The latter was so frightened that his face was as pale as paper. While kowtowing to Wang Junlin, he begged: "Master Hou must never believe Shangguan Hu, he is
If I want to make a fuss with Lord Marquis, I should be the internal support for Yang Su."
Wang Junlin ignored Zhang Liang, took a deep look at Shangguan Hu, and said: "Shangguan Hu, I agree to all your requests."
After saying that, he signaled Niu Jinda to let go of Shangguan Hu, but Zhang Liang had already gotten up, retreated and ran to the side. Wang Junlin waved his hand to stop Yu Zimo and Niu Jinda from blocking Zhang Liang. Shangguan Hu let Shangguan Hu roar angrily.
He chased after him.
The two of them chased and escaped without anyone stopping them. They quickly got into the forest nearby, making it difficult to see them.
"Master Hou! Do you want to send someone over..." Xu Jingzong stepped forward and said, but before he could finish speaking, Wang Junlin shook his head and said, "I believe Shangguan Hu will not abandon his more than three hundred brothers."
Sure enough, not long after, a scream came from the mountain forest. Soon, Shangguan Hu dragged Zhang Liang's body out of it and came to Wang Junlin. He bowed to Wang Junlin with a complicated expression and said: "Shangguan Hu, a humble man."
I pay my respects to the Marquis, and I would like to serve him as my master from now on."
Wang Junlin was overjoyed. He got off his horse and helped Shangguan Hu up, saying, "You don't have to serve me as my master. You will be a general under me."
When Shangguan Hu heard this, his eyes flashed. He originally thought that he would sell himself to Wang Junlin today. Although he would not be a slave, he would probably become a bodyguard and thug. Unexpectedly, Wang Junlin seemed to know what he wanted most in his heart.
He directly promised what he wanted, which unknowingly gave him a hint of true loyalty to Wang Junlin.
"Thank you so much, Lord Marquis. I am willing to fight for you on the battlefield." Shangguan Hu said with some respect.
Wang Junlin patted Shangguan Hu on the shoulder and said: "I am returning to Yongzhou this time to fight against the Tuyuhun people who entered the country according to the emperor's order. As long as you have the ability, your contribution will be indispensable after a war. I will personally report to the court.
It is better to ask for merit from you and the emperor than to lead people here to rob and kill important border generals in exchange for fame and fortune."
Shangguan Hu knew that Wang Junlin was teasing him about robbing and killing the other party in order to become an official. He felt ashamed and looked embarrassed: "You are ignorant in your humble position. If you offend the Marquis, you should deserve to die in a different place."
Wang Junlin chuckled and said: "No one deserves to die, it's just that our positions are different. From now on, you and I are our brothers. Okay, let's not talk anymore. You can handle these brothers on your own!"
Shangguan Hu looked grateful from the bottom of his heart and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the more than 300 captured subordinates. Before he could say anything, Zhou Dongyu, the highest-ranking prisoner among the prisoners and in charge of the heavy armor battalion of Feihu Village, said loudly: "We are willing to cooperate with you."
Let’s all charge into battle together for the Marquis.”
The other prisoners also witnessed the process of their boss surrendering to the legendary poisoned general just now, and they did not hesitate to kneel down and said loudly: "I am willing to charge into battle for the Marquis together with the boss."
"Okay, you and others will return to Commander Shangguan Hu, and Zhan Peng will return the weapons to them." Jun Lin waved his hand for everyone to stand up, and said with a smile.
Xu Jingzong, Liu Ziming, and Zhan Peng's expressions changed slightly. They wanted to say something, but Wang Junlin glanced at them and swallowed his words again.
Shangguan Hu, Zhou Dongyu and other brothers from Feihu Village had another idea. While they were surprised by Wang Junlin's trust and confidence, they were also a little moved. However, what Wang Junlin said next shocked them even more.
"Shangguan Hu, you must have many family members in the village. I allow you to go back to the village to settle down with your family. You will meet here at noon tomorrow and go with me to Yongzhou to make contributions." Wang Junlin glanced at Fei Fei.
Everyone in Huzhai said with a smile.
Shangguan Hu and Zhou Dongyu looked at each other, and saw in each other's eyes the meaning of death for a confidant. Although it was only a temporary feeling, this feeling would soon fade based on their experience, but the sincerity and trust shown by Wang Junlin
But it was real. Shangguan Hu took a deep breath, cupped his fists towards Wang Junlin, bowed deeply, and said: "Master Hou, I'll wait..."
Roar……
Before Shangguan Hu could finish his words, suddenly a roar of a ferocious beast came from deep in the mountains to the east. Upon hearing this, Wang Junlin's face changed and he quickly said: "Shangguan Hu took people to the village to settle down a family, Zhan Peng and Zimo."
Stay here to treat the wounded and rest. Niu Jinda is coming with me."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to say anything, he got on the equally impatient blood-maned horse and rushed towards the eastern forest like the wind. Niu Jinda also jumped on his mount and chased after him.
