While Lu Gi was feeling conflicted, Zhao E, who was standing there had finished his own internal struggle.

He knelt with cuped fists and slowly spoke.

Zhaoi asked for nothing but for the chief to agree to two things.

Not knowing how to address Luo Gi.

Zhao E after hearing Luo Yong<unk>s previous address decided to call Lu Gi chief as well.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yong frowned.

The term chief was the original address used by the first members of their Ming Jing tribe for Lu Gi, carrying special significance.

Not everyone could use it.

You should call the chief leader.

Luo Yang<unk>s words startled Joe E.

But being quick-witted, he soon realized the mistake.

Just as he was about to correct himself, he saw Lu G wave his hand, saying, "It's fine.

" Continue.

Lu G had never been too concerned about the issue of titles.

But this incident served as a reminder that the number of people under him was increasing.

The way he was addressed, at least in public, should be unified.

Otherwise, it would just get more chaotic.

With Lu G's permission, Zhao E continued, but he cleverly changed his address to leader in his following words.

The first thing Zhao Y wanted to request from the leader was that he treat the brothers who had surrendered equally.

Upon hearing this first request, Lu Gi chuckled and turned to Lu Yong, saying, "Send order down.

" From this moment on, the soldiers who have surrendered with Zhao E are our own brothers.

No differential treatment is allowed.

Once discovered, military law will be enforced.

Zhao E thanked the leader on behalf of his brothers.

Seeing Zhao Yi's slightly agitated emotions, Lu Gi made a gesture to raise his hand.

What about the second request? As Zhao E got to this point, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

He felt that even if he didn't say it, Lu G wouldn't do such things.

But without a direct promise from him, he felt a bit uneasy.

Thinking of this, he simply pressed his forehead against the ground and gritting his teeth spoke.

The second request is that Zhao he hopes the leader can restrain the soldiers under him from pillaging and disturbing the civilians in the city.

Presumptuous upon hearing this Luo Yon was instantly furious, his roar like thunder, causing Zhao E, who was kneeling below, to feel his heart skip a beat.

Do you think we're the same as the troops of your great Joe? Lu Yong was clearly aware of the heinous crimes committed by Zhao Dong Nan's army in Shiuan City.

Now Zhao E was equating them with those beasts which made him furious.

Forgive me leader but Zhao E dares to request the leader to give a verbal promise.

Chapter 267.

Turning the guest into the host chief.

Please forgive me but Zhao E dares to request that the chief answer in person.

You Lu Yom was clearly very angry.

He had been far away on the grasslands and couldn't arrive at Xiuan city in time.

This matter had been weighing heavily on his mind.

And when Zhao Yi<unk>s words reached his ears, it was like adding fuel to the fire.

Watching Luo Yong, whose emotions were somewhat out of control, Lu Gi remained calm and said, "Luo Yong.

" Hearing Luo G's voice, Lu Yong froze for a moment and then took two steps back.

Then Lu Gi spoke again.

My army, Lu G's army, will only take supplies and a portion of grain from the granary and will never disturb the common people.

Thank you, Chief.

After receiving Lu G's promise, Zhao, he felt a wave of relief wash over him.

Realizing that his back was soaked with cold sweat, even without looking up, he could feel the fierce and violent aura emanating from Lu Yong, akin to a ferocious beast.

The half-dead Lu, whose body lay nearby.

If Lu Gi hadn't managed to calm the enraged Luo Yong Zhao, he might have met the same fate as Lu Hu.

Thinking of this, a flicker of fear passed over Zhao Yi<unk>s face.

Fortunately, Lu Gi had caught him at just the right moment.

Now, you know to be afraid, this made Zhao E feel embarrassed.

Faced with Lu G's teasing, Zhao, he felt quite awkward for a moment.

Haha, that expression is unexpectedly amusing.

Lu G couldn't help but chuckle twice.

I find you pleasing to the eye.

From today on, you will serve as a captain under my command.

In this battle, you will temporarily manage the surrendered soldiers.

Although he had successfully tricked open the gates of Sona City, Zhaoi never expected that Lu Gi would give him the opportunity to lead troops right away.

For a moment, he was completely stunned, seeing Zhao Yi's dazed expression.

Lu Gi smirked, "If you can't do it, I can find someone else.

" Zhao E vowed not to disappoint the chief's expectations.

At a time like this, to step back would be tanamount to admitting he was mediocre.

Previously, he had offended Jeang Xiin and had been deliberately suppressed, leaving him with no prospects in the great Joe.

Now that he had surrendered here, his desire to achieve merit and fame reignited at that moment.

After instructing Zhao E to organize the troops, Lu Gi turned to Luo Yong, who stood nearby with a somewhat displeased expression.

What's wrong? Was Luh too weak? Making it not satisfying enough for you? It was indeed a bit surprising.

Zhao had said he was one of the formidable generals under Zhao Dong Nan.

What Zhao he said wasn't a lie.

Luh's strength should have been decent.

This was evident from his posture and habits when he attacked.

However, the actual offensive he displayed seemed fierce but lacked follow through and his reactions were somewhat sluggish.

As he spoke, Luo Yong removed the wolf bone mass from his face, his gaze sweeping over Luh whose arms, which he had brutally shattered, and added, "His muscles and bones are surprisingly frail.

It seems he hasn't trained properly for a long time.

" Upon hearing this, Lu G understood this was a typical case of someone who became complacent after achieving success.

Just look at this luxurious general's mansion with several layers inside and out, causing him to nearly get lost when he led people in.

Of course, that wasn't the main point.

The key was how much manpower, resources, and time it took to build such a large mansion.

Thinking of his own shabby little house.

Though it faced Ming Jing Lake and enjoyed the warmth of spring, its hardware was indeed poor.

After a comparison, Lu Gi felt like a model of integrity and diligence.

For a moment, he couldn't help but sigh.

There's an old saying, "Wine is a poison that runs through the intestines.

Lust is a steel knife that scrapes the bones.

Wealth is a fierce tiger descending from the mountain.

And anger is the root of trouble.

Even a general with a five-star marshall prowess, if obsessed with wine, lust, and wealth all day, will ultimately be drained by these things and bring about his own downfall.

" This incident served as a wake-up call for Lu Gi.

He couldn't let his talented subordinates turn into useless people just because he wasn't paying attention.

Each of them needed to be reminded properly.

Waving his hand, he signaled the soldiers under his command to detain Lu's body and the household servants in the mansion.

LuG decisively took the initiative and occupied this general's mansion.

With this lightning strike, he had captured two cities, significantly increasing his advantage from the very beginning.

However, it was likely that the next battles wouldn't be so easy.

After dawn, Zhao Dong would surely react, and capturing the subsequent cities wouldn't be as straightforward.

In other words, he would probably have to stay in Sona City for a while.

Why not stay in a ready-made general's mansion instead of idly wasting time? sitting in the main seat of the general's mansion hall with a large saber and a golden horse.

He couldn't hide the complexity of his feelings at that moment.

Damn, this cup and kettle are actually made of bronze.
