"Congratulations, Master, you have completed the main mission-Kill 100 people. Mission reward: 100 taels of gold, 12 sets of armor and warhorses.”
After Xiang Yu killed the Five Tigers and the hundreds of Zhang Yong's trusted aides, the main mission was finally completed.
The rewards for this mission were quite generous. Whether it was gold, the twelve sets of armor, or the warhorses, they were all what he needed the most at the moment.
Xiang Da and the others are all second-rate experts. There are still many places where they will be needed in the future. These twelve sets of divine weapons and armor were perfect for their warhorses.
In this way, they were like tigers with wings.
At this moment, Hou Junji's twenty troops arrived on the city gate tower.
These people had been carefully selected by Hou Junji to become his future forces.
After these people arrived at the city tower, they immediately took over the garrison at the south gate of Chang 'an Fortress. He had replaced dozens of lieutenants, big and small, and Uncle Du.
"General, what should we do with these replaced low-level generals?”
"Kill them all, leave no one alive." Hou Junji's expression was vicious and his smile cruel.
Those lieutenants and Uncle Du who surrendered thought that they would be able to keep their lives after surrendering. Who knew that they would be killed instead?
"General, we are innocent. We are not Zhang Yong's trusted aides.”
"Yes, General, please spare my life. Before Zhang Yong came, we were already stationed here and have never helped him. General, please investigate.”
"General, we have a high court and a wife and children. Please have mercy on us.”
Dozens of low-level generals knelt on the ground and wailed.
However, there were also a few strong-willed people who glared hatefully at Hou Junji.
If it weren't for the fact that they were wary of the terrifyingly valiant youth behind Hou Junji, they would have long since prepared to strike back.
"I advise you not to make any unnecessary resistance. Otherwise, you will be rebelling. "If that happens, your wives, children, and parents will all be implicated by you.”Hou Junji sneered at the low-ranking officers.
Hou Junji's threat caused all the low-ranking officers to reveal looks of despair and resentment.
At this moment, a bold Uncle Du looked at Xiang Yu sadly and shouted,""Little General, we all obeyed your orders and restrained our subordinates without resisting. Do you want to see us be killed unjustly like this?”
Of course, Xiang Yu could not watch these low-level generals get killed. It could be said that these people had put down their weapons and handed over their military power because of his words.
If he couldn't protect their lives, how could he be at ease?
Xiang Yu might be able to be cold-blooded in front of his enemies, but he could not turn a blind eye to Hou Junji slaughtering these dutiful Great Tang elites.
Moreover, the system had issued a side mission that required him to save at least 20 innocent lives.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to save these people.
With this thought, Xiangyu stepped forward and said to Hou Junji,"General Hou, on my account, can you forgive these people?”
Hou Junji raised his head as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world."Haha, your face? How much could the face of a Rank-6 commandant be worth?”
"Based on the fact that I can kill the Five Tigers alone, are you satisfied with this answer?”Xiang Yu did not show any weakness as he glared at Hou Junji, his eyes blazing with battle intent.
If Hou Junji truly didn't know how to appreciate favors, he really didn't mind sending him to his death.
Hou Junji suddenly thought of the corpses of the Five Tigers, and even someone as experienced as him felt a chill run down his spine.
"Xiangyu, don't blame me for not warning you. If you have a woman's heart and delay His Highness's important matter, even if you have a thousand lives, it will be difficult to forgive you. In addition, these people must not stay at the south gate.”
Under Xiang Yu's powerful aura, Hou Junji finally compromised.
"Alright, they will follow me until noon tomorrow. They will not delay the King of Qin's morning court session.”Xiangyu nodded.
When Uncle Du heard Xiang Yu's words, the dozens of small schools all revealed a look of relief and gratitude after surviving the disaster.
"Little general, we are willing to follow you to the death to repay your life-saving grace.”
Xiangyu looked at these elite soldiers and was secretly delighted, but her expression was very calm. "Very good. Since you no longer have any military positions, are you willing to be my troops first?”
After hearing this, the hearts of these dozens of low-level generals moved.
They had seen how powerful this little general was. He was absolutely peerless. The infamous "Five Tigers" couldn't even last one round in his hands before they all died.
One could imagine the future of following such a Divine General. It was definitely a hundred times better than guarding the city gate here.
"We are willing to do anything for the general.”
The dozens of low-level generals were extremely excited as they bowed and accepted the order.
Hou Junji trembled with rage, his face ashen.
He originally wanted to use the heads of these low-level soldiers to establish his might, but he never expected that in the end, he would actually help Xiang Yu, that brat, obtain so many elite soldiers for no reason.
One had to know that these low-level generals were all third-rate or even second-rate experts.
Logically speaking, those second-rate lieutenants could have become officers of the sixth rank and above long ago. Unfortunately, they were not Zhang Yong's trusted aides, so they had never been promoted.
Now, it was all for Xiang Yu, that brat.
Tomorrow, His Highness the King of Qin would launch a major event. After that kid obtained these experts, his strength would definitely increase greatly, and he would obtain more and more contributions.
The more Hou Junji thought about it, the angrier he became, the more he hated his own stupidity and Xiang Yu's luck.
"General, there is a person tied to a pillar on the city gate tower.”A small school officer hurried over to report to Hou Junji.
Hou Junji was startled at first, but then he asked,"Bring him up."
Soon, a few small schools escorted Wei Zheng, who was in a sorry state, over.
When Wei Zheng saw the situation in front of him, his vision turned black and he almost fell down. He couldn't help but cry as he looked up at the sky and sighed."Your Highness, I, Wei Zheng, have failed you.”
When Hou Junji saw this person, he was shocked and overjoyed."Wei Zheng, there's a path in the Immortal Court, but you chose to enter hell. Haha, I didn't expect the famous Wei Zheng to be in such a sorry state.”
"Traitor, traitor, don't be so long-winded. Today, this old man has fallen into your hands. If you want to kill me or plunder me, you can do as you please.”Wei Zheng's hair was disheveled as he angrily rebuked Hou Junji.
"You want to die? Haha, not that easy? You gave the Crown Prince a plan. If not for the fate of the King of Qin, he would have been killed by you.”"Killing you with a single strike is too easy for you," Hou Junji coldly harrumphed. I want you to watch your entire family of more than a hundred people die in front of you…"
"Hou Junji, you beast…I curse you to die a horrible death.”Wei Zheng spat and cursed.
"Prisoner below the stage, how dare you insult this general. Men, slap this old man a hundred times and pull out all his teeth.”Hou Junji had finally found an opportunity to vent his suppressed anger.
"Yes." The two major generals immediately accepted the order.
At this moment, a stern shout suddenly sounded.
"Slow down."
