Feeling that he was in danger, in order to protect himself, He Guang raised his knife and said to Long Qi: "Master National Teacher, you must have been deceived, right, it's okay, I will arrest this person now and send it to Your Majesty, and I will definitely explain the situation to Your Majesty when the time comes, and ensure that the National Teacher is fine." ”

At this time, He Guang actually wanted to make a provocative move, and when he saw the two larks, he couldn't help laughing. Long Qi said after a burst of laughter: "You came to intercede for your national teacher, hehe, do you really have such a big face, don't you know that you can't protect yourself?" ”

"What does this mean, national teacher?" He Guang looked puzzled.

"Wait a minute, let's put the knife down before talking, you make people look awkward like this." Without waiting for the national teacher to answer this question, the lark spoke.

"If you tell me to put down the knife, I'll put it down, why?" He Guang looked at the lark with a sneer.

"Hey, why do you bother?" The lark shook his head, reached into his waist and took out a pistol with a silencing equipment, gently opened the safety and fired a shot casually.

"Poof." The sound was effectively blocked, but the bullet was not blocked, it flew out of the chamber and hit the saber, such a close distance, the current strong force made the unprepared He Guang have to abandon the knife.

With a clang, the saber fell to the ground, which also scared He Guang out of a cold sweat. He had long heard that the hired had a powerful musket, but he had never seen it, and now he finally saw it, and it was really powerful.

But after just a distraction, He Guang wanted to lower his head to pick up the knife, but he saw that the blanket under his feet suddenly swayed, and another strong qi struck, and a bullet hit his feet. "General He, seeing that you are a hero, I just want to have a good talk with you, if you toast and don't eat and drink, then the envoy doesn't mind that the next bullet will hit you, and you will definitely die."

The voice of the lark came to the banquet hall, and He Guang's figure also stood there as if he had been fixed, not daring to move.

Sure enough, it is a powerful repeating musket, and it can really fire a second bullet at any time, so does it mean that it can also fire a third and fourth shot?

When He Guang was still thinking about the problem, the voice of the national teacher Longqi came from his ears, "Okay, okay, General He is not an outsider, come and sit down and talk." ”

This is clearly to give himself a step, He Guang doesn't know if the next bullet will hit his body, so it's better to sit down first and listen to how the other party says that he is making a decision.

Finally sat down peacefully, and the national teacher Long Qi said to him with a calm look: "General He, you are also a masterpiece of a generation, don't you know that a catastrophe is coming?" ”

"Please give me advice." He Guang really didn't understand why he was about to come into a catastrophe.

"Hey, once the front is defeated, what kind of decision will Your Majesty make, I think he will use the power of the King's Guard to fight back. In your opinion, who will be the leader of this team? I'm afraid it won't be Maude's idiot who will go into battle in person, and I'm afraid Your Majesty won't allow this. But if the general leads the troops, can you guarantee victory? Hundreds of thousands of people in front are no match for mercenaries, what can you do with those people in your hands? Isn't this a catastrophe, but what is it? ”

"This..."He Guang wanted to deny all this, but he knew that what the national teacher said was true everywhere. Maude's ability is limited, and His Majesty also knows this, but considering that this person is still very obedient, it is naturally good to be a loyal dog. It's just that such a dog can't be released to bite people, because he doesn't have such ability. At that time, it was inevitable that he would be the deputy captain to lead the army.

To say that the unification of the army is naturally something that every general wants. But as the national teacher said, the hundreds of thousands of troops in front are not the opponents of mercenaries, how many men and horses can he bring out, the entire king's guard is only 20,000 people, how can he beat the mercenaries, what is it if it is not sent to death?

It's just that at that time, I'm afraid that I'll have to do it whether I want to or not. If you agree, you will die on the battlefield, and if you don't agree, you will probably be taken down directly by Maude. Either way, there will be no good outcome.

Layers of cold sweat began to flow from He Guang's head. I didn't think that the army at the front would be defeated, so I didn't think about these things. But now that it has been pointed out, it is only then that it is realized that the situation is already so dangerous.

Of course, the so-called danger will only appear when the army at the front is completely defeated. If they hadn't been defeated, if it had only been a small defeat, all that the national teacher said would not have come true, and he would not be in danger.

He Guang was still pondering, and the lark sitting there with a pistol in his hand had already spoken, "General He, after the recommendation of the national teacher, we found that you are indeed a character, so Zhong Dangong said that if you are willing to surrender, it will be reused for you." You know that the province of Vietnam is also the original General Hong Kim of the Cochin Kingdom. He used to be just a partial general, with a humble status, but he was favored by the loyal and courageous princes, and has become the current general of Vietnam Province, leading 30,000 troops. If General He is willing, the future Lancang General will be you, and you can also lead 30,000 troops. In this way, even if you don't have to die, wouldn't it be beautiful to be a veritable general? ”

He Guang knew about Hong Jin's affairs. Although some people scare him as a traitor, I don't know how many people envy him in private. At least because of this person's relationship, the Hong family has not been hit hard, and not only that, Hong Jin's identity has also risen. I heard that the loyal and courageous prince gave him an annual salary, which is 100,000 taels of silver a year, I don't know how many people I envy.

Here I want to explain that Yang Chendong implements a high salary and integrity policy.

Once you are entrusted with a position, you will enjoy a high annual salary. In order to ensure that the appointee can live well, at least without worrying about life. What's more, once you reach a certain age and need to retire, you will receive a monthly salary every month, which is called a pension. This treatment will not end until the day of the death of the person who is being enjoyed.

In other words, once you are appointed as an official by the loyal and courageous father, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life. Of course, if anyone is still dissatisfied and still thinks about corruption, then I'm sorry, once it is verified, it will be quite serious to deal with. There are already clear regulations, but if it is verified that the embezzled silver exceeds 10,000 taels, there will be no forgiveness. This is the result of all previous exploits. Loyal and courageous public proclaim, merit and demerit cannot be offset.

After all, you have been allowed to eat and drink without worry, and even your old age life has been arranged for you, but you are still not satisfied, such a person deserves to be killed.

To get back to the point, He Guang is one of the people who envy Hong Jin in private. He not only envied that the other party could lead the troops and become a real general, but also envied the treatment of the other party. For example, he is the deputy captain of the King's Guard, and he can be regarded as a four-rank general, but in fact, the monthly salary is only eighty taels of silver, which is not even a thousand taels a year. Although there is no problem in raising a family, it is just a so-so life, and I can't do anything else without any ability, or even if I want to be more comfortable.

Now that the role model is in front of him, his treatment is more than a hundred times higher than his current one, and his power is much greater, it is impossible to say that he is not moved at all at this moment. Although he is not a greedy man in his bones, otherwise the lark would not have talked to him in this way, but who would refuse a better life?

At this meeting, He Guang became much more silent, looking hesitant.

"Hehe, General He doesn't need to answer so early. In this way, you can go back first and think about it, if the front line is really defeated, and you happen to be sent as a general, it is not too late to make a decision at that time. The lark didn't seem to be in a hurry to force He Guang to answer, but said very generously.

"Let me go?" He Guang was also shocked at this meeting. He didn't agree to anything, on the contrary, he also knew about the existence of the lark, wasn't the other party afraid that he would sell him after he went out, and turn around and bring troops to arrest people?

As if he saw what He Guang was thinking, the lark smiled and said, "General He is a smart person, how can he do something foolish?" Besides, even if you did hand me over to your king, what good would you do? With a Maud on it, there's no way you're going to get out of it. On the contrary, if you betray me, will the Loyal Guild spare you? You must know that we don't know how many such muskets there are in our mercenaries, so we can give them a casual look to ensure that you can die thoroughly, and even others don't know who did it. ”

After another temptation and another threat, the lark waved his hand, "Okay, General He can leave." ”

"I... I'm really gone. Slowly standing up, He Guang still decided to leave here first, there are some things that need to be thought about.

Getting up, He Guang was about to stride away, when the voice of the lark behind him suddenly sounded, "Slow." ”

"Sure enough, aren't you ready to let yourself go?" He Guang sighed and slowly turned around.

"Take your saber away, and don't look like you've lost your soul, anyone who looks at it will have doubts." The lark pointed to the big knife that had fallen to the ground, and said very casually.

"Oh." He Guang's heart was put down again, he picked up the saber and bowed, and then turned to leave.

He Guang really left, leaving the national teacher Long Qi to ask with palpitations, "Envoy Yun, is he really not going to tell the truth?" Otherwise, we'll leave now. ”

"Hehe, the national teacher is at ease, as long as he is not stupid, he will not tell the truth. It's not even necessary to leave, does the national teacher really think that I am the only one who came to Vientiane City? The lark smiled confidently.
