When Xiahou Yuan and Shan Jing saw him running in, they subconsciously stood in front of Li Ce and said angrily,""What do you want?"
Just as the two of them were about to take Ling Jing down, Ling Jing knelt on the ground and shouted,"Lord, I have offended you in many ways just now. I hope you can forgive me!”
"My lord?" The old man who staggered behind Ling Jing was stunned. He stared at Ling Jing who was kneeling on the ground." You…What do you mean?”
"Father, I was just testing the lord!”As he spoke, Ling Jing kowtowed heavily to Li Ce." My lord, you're truly a benevolent lord. You've been honest with me and even let me go after knowing that I don't want to stay. I can't miss such a lord!”
Seeing this, the old man was overjoyed. After laughing a few times, he knelt down in front of Li Ce and said,""General, I hope you can punish me for my son's rudeness just now. I failed to teach him well. After the punishment, I hope you can continue to use him!”
"My lord, this is my mistake. It has nothing to do with my father!”Ling Jing knelt and crawled forward a few steps." My lord, if you want to punish me, then punish me!”
"General, my son's fault lies with his father! You should punish me!"
The two of them fought to be punished, causing everyone to be at a loss for what to do!
But at this moment, Li Ce personally helped the old man up and said with a smile,""Your noble young master's actions are to test me, the lord! I'm very happy to have passed his test!”
" General..." The old man's tears flowed freely as he sobbed." General, you're really a benevolent ruler!" I only hate that I'm in my twilight years and don't have many days left to live. Otherwise, I'm willing to lead a horse and fall for the general!”
"Old sir, I will create the world for you now!”Li Ce held the old man's hand tightly." How many old men like you are still working hard in China? And what I want to do is to let the people in the world have a place to rely on in their old age and live in luxury!”
Hearing this, everyone boiled over.
"General, you're really benevolent. To be able to work under you is the blessing of our three lives!”
"Old sir is old, we are willing to help old sir lead the general's horse!”
"You have a place to rely on in old age, a life of luxury, and a life of jade. General, your grace is spread all over the world! We are willing to do our best for the general's great ambition!”
"Yes, General, not only did you give us food, you also gave us a place to sleep. Our current peace is provided by you.”
"Yes, General. How can we repay your kindness?”
"General, we are willing to live under your command and your city for the rest of our lives. Not only us, but our descendants will also live under the command of your descendants for the rest of their lives!”
"Yes, General. Your benevolence and righteousness are the most remarkable among all the rulers we have seen and heard of! It is our fortune to be able to work under you!”
……
Just as everyone was giving Li Ce a thumbs up, a system notification sounded in Li Ce's mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 12000 reputation points. Xian Prefecture City's popular sentiment has increased by 5 points!”
Li Ce frowned when he heard the notification.
People's hearts? Five points?
Can I check the popularity of the people now?
It seemed that the system's functions were becoming more and more convenient!
Thinking of this, Li Ce's lips curled up slightly. He was happy that he had obtained such a system!
"Lord, please punish me!" Ling Jing repeatedly kowtowed on the ground." I admit my sins. I am willing to be punished!”
Li Ce looked down at Ling Jing.
Suddenly, a new window popped up beside Ling Jing.
Name: Ling Jing
[Age: 37]
[Strength: 47]
[Intelligence: 96]
Commander: 71
Political Affairs: 93
Virtue: 83
Seeing Ling Jing's stats, Li Ce was overjoyed.
Intelligence and politics both broke the 90 mark?
With an Intelligence of 96, he was indeed a strategist.
If Dou Jiande had listened to Ling Jing's words back then, he might not have been able to compete with Li Tang, but he could have at least become an overlord!
Such a character could probably be compared to Li Shiming's Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, right?
Moreover, his political score was 93, which was higher than Xiahou Yuan, Shan Jing, Dou Chengde, and the others. If he was used to do internal affairs, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort!
Although his martial strength and leadership were slightly low, Liu Bang, the emperor of Han Dynasty, once said that in the midst of strategizing, victory could be won thousands of miles away!
Moreover, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shao, it was Xun Yu who stabilized the rear for him, allowing Cao Mengde to obtain the final victory!
But now, a talent with both political and intellectual talents was eager to become his subordinate. How could Li Ce not be happy?
Because of this, Li Ce walked up to Ling Jing and helped him up with both hands. He smiled and said,""I'm really happy that Sir can work for me!”
Seeing that Li Ce was smiling and had no intention of blaming him, Ling Jing's face was filled with shame. He said sadly,""My lord is magnanimous and extremely benevolent. It is my blessing to be able to join you!”
"My Lord, please hand over the defense of Xian Prefecture City to me!”Ling Jing fell to his knees with a thud." Let me atone for my sins!" This lowly official guarantees that the city will remain as long as the person is alive!”
"Good!" Li Ce laughed heartily." With a talent like you in Xian State, why should we worry about the world being in turmoil? Why worry about the people not being rich?"
Seeing that Li Ce had accepted Ling Jing, everyone burst into cheers.
" Ten thousand years as a general, ten thousand years as a general!"
"General, we are all your most loyal subjects. We are willing to live and die with the Xian Prefecture!”
"Yes, we are the strongest support for the general. The general only needs to fight bravely at the front line. We will serve the general with military rations, weapons, defensive equipment, warhorses, money, and so on!”
"General, let us repay your great kindness together with Lord Ling Jing!”
……
Although they didn't know how high Ling Jing's stats were, they were happy to see their lord, Li Ce, get another person to help him!
Perhaps this was a grand occasion to share joy and sorrow with the people!
