Chapter 72: Offering Treasures (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
When Mr. Chen heard Lu Yuan's agreement, he waved to the outside.
At this time, two burly men, carrying a pure black spear, trotted in from the gate of the courtyard.
The two men were both big and sturdy, but they were actually panting as they carried the spear, which was pure black including the tip without a single color.
The two men trotted to a point half a meter in front of Lu Yuan and stopped, then squatted down, raised their hands upwards, and raised the spears just above their heads.
At this time, Mr. Chen said:
"Master, this black iron spear weighs about 200 kilograms and was passed down from my ancestors.
My ancestor was a great general of the dynasty. Back then, he used this heavy black iron spear to kill countless enemies and made a great name for himself.
And now, more than a dozen generations have passed, and there is no one like our ancestor in our Chen family anymore, and no one can use this heavy black iron spear.
I have great respect for the fairness and righteousness of the brigade commander. I have also heard that the commander was born with supernatural powers and has no suitable weapons in his hands.
Therefore, I want to present this heavy black iron spear to the commander-in-chief, which will show my respect for him. "
The two sturdy men were already shaking in their hands as they held the spears.
Lu Yuan looked at the pure black spear that the two men were holding above their heads, stood up from the stone bench and walked forward.
He stretched out his right hand, grabbed the heavy black iron spear, and slowly lifted it up.
Then, after dancing in the air for a few circles, it slammed heavily to the ground.
"boom!!".
The earth trembled.
This courtyard is paved with marble blocks.
It was hit by the spear and broke into pieces.
The gravel splashed onto the two sturdy men who were still squatting there.
Their faces and exposed legs were scratched and bloody.
But they didn't care at all, instead they looked at the Tianxing military commander who was a size smaller than them with fanatical eyes!
One of them is Mr. Chen's son, and the other is Mr. Chen's nephew.
When he heard that his father (uncle) was going to present this ancestral spear to the commander of a rebel brigade, his face was full of disbelief.
Let’s not talk about why my father (uncle) would want to curry favor with a mere commander of a rebel army. Just take this heavy black iron spear handed down from our ancestors as an example. It weighs a full two hundred kilograms!
I can't even lift it with my hands, let alone use it as a weapon.
Only a legendary figure like our ancestor can wield this precious spear.
even!
Sometimes they doubted whether their ancestors could really wield this 200-pound gun?
Who knows what happened hundreds of years ago?
Maybe the family deliberately made a gun that would never be used in order to save face and made up this story.
But they had no choice but to follow their father's instructions and carry the spear in.
Both of them were holding this precious spear with some difficulty.
The brigade commander of the Tianxing Army actually swung the two-hundred-pound precious spear in several circles with one hand!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it!
But the facts were before their eyes, and besides being shocked, they all looked at this legendary figure in front of them with fanaticism!
Mr. Chen stared at the crack on the marble floor with his eyes wide open.
He had heard people say before that the newly appointed commander of the Tianxing Army was born with supernatural powers and could move mountains.
He didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it is almost the same!
His heavy black iron spear, which many of his predecessors had been unable to shake, was used extremely casually in the opponent's hands!
Possessing divine power, daring to act, and gathering people’s hearts!
Such a talent, who is still in his latent stage, is worthy of the Chen family to make friends with him at any cost!
Lu Yuan raised his spear and danced it a few times. Hmm.
It's a bit heavy and not very convenient to use.
But it doesn’t matter. For him, it’s not good to have things go too smoothly.
It's so smooth, and after a few days, you will feel it's lighter.
It will be easier and easier to use when you have the super power of "infinite strength" in the future.
He raised the spear with one hand and examined it carefully, then said to Chen Yuanwai:
"I am a righteous soldier. I use this gun to kill people from the imperial court. Your ancestor was a general of the imperial court. Why did you give this gun to me?"
After Mr. Chen bowed, he said:
"Master, the commander-in-chief is kind-hearted and always works for the people. The world is in chaos now. With this heavy black iron spear following you, no matter who you kill, you will surely bring peace."
"I accept your gift. Tell me, what do you want? If you can agree to it, I will agree to it."
He bowed deeply, then pointed at the two nephews who were already kneeling on the ground and said to Lu Yuan:
"Master Brigade Commander, please allow my two nephews to join the Tianxing Army and follow you to achieve great things!
Please let them charge ahead. If they perform meritorious deeds, I hope the brigade commander will be generous with his rewards!"
After that, he paused and said:
"If they all die, it will be their glory!"
The current Daqian Dynasty is on the verge of collapse.
Even though his ancestors were generals, after so many generations, their Chen family could no longer fit into those complicated networks of relationships.
Even if his son and nephew were sent to the army as soldiers, without military connections, they would not be able to get any promotion no matter how bravely they fought.
And this powerful brigade commander who is like a latent dragon will certainly not stop at the position of brigade commander.
If he allowed his two nephews to follow him at this time, like a latent dragon emerging from the abyss, his two nephews would surely be able to take advantage of the situation and rise up.
Even recreating the glory of our ancestors' generals might not be impossible!
Lu Yuan looked at the two men who had fanatical eyes and kowtowed several times on the ground.
He waved his hand casually and said:
"First you will be appointed as a sergeant, and then you will be promoted if you have military merits in the future."
After all, they donated such a precious treasure and so much food that the entire army could eat for several days. Giving it to the three of them as sergeants was not a big deal.
"Thank you, Marshal!!"
"Thank you, Marshal!!"
When the two heard that the godlike commander in front of them had agreed to let them follow him and that they could also take the position of sergeant, they were overjoyed and kowtowed to Lu Yuan continuously.
Mr. Chen also bowed deeply again and again, and after getting Lu Yuan's permission, he withdrew.
After Lu Yuan played with the heavy gun again, he put it aside.
He turned to Zhou An and instructed:
"Tell Counselor Li that we will set off the day after tomorrow."
After all, starting your own business cannot compare to having ready-made resources available.
The name of Tianxing Army will also make it easier for him to recruit more people.
Just like Mr. Chen today, if it weren't for the reputation of the Tianxing Army, he might not be willing to offer so many resources.
Now, we have added more than a thousand pawns.
The food and fodder offered by the rich families were sufficient.
They had to take a mountain road, and even if there was more food, the pawns would not be able to carry it.
Now is a good time to go south.
After some preparation tomorrow, we will set off early the day after tomorrow!
Set out for the Tianxing Army, and based on these nearly three thousand men who are loyal to him, gain a foothold in the Tianxing Army and expand his own power!
"Yes!!" Zhou An answered loudly, bowed and walked out.
The protagonist went to Tianxing Army to be the boss!
