C50

That day, after the destruction of Liucheng, most of the money had been taken away by Ta Dun. Kurna's men only scraped the ground for three feet to collect two hundred thousand, but in the end, they all took advantage of Gongsun Xu and the Single Meridian. Adding the money that he had lost while he was at the east side of the city, he had a total of around two hundred and eighty thousand slots. Gongsun Xu and the Single Classic were divided among the two hundred thousand, and the rest were handed over to Gongsun Zan.

When the White Horse Camp was first established, Gongsun Xu had issued a series of bounty and punishment regulations, in which military merits were no longer calculated by beheading, but determined by how much you performed on the battlefield. In order to give this reward as fair as possible, Guo Jia had to busy himself these few days with not touching the ground, and practically every single soldier asked about it, before finally deciding on this reward list.

Seeing that, Gongsun Xu laughed secretly, he had originally planned to look for 10 loud voices of soldiers to read the list, but Guo Jia was actually very interested in this matter, and even confidently said that this was the honor of the Military Advisor. He insisted on reading the list alone, but in truth, he felt that not being able to go with the army this time was a huge regret, and wanted to brazenly show off his skills, and get familiar with everyone. Guo Jia did not know whether he could feel honored or not, but he did not want to see the Head of the Guards make a fool of himself in public. Thus, he turned around and gave Zhao Yun a signal with his eyes.

Zhao Yun understood, he walked up a few steps and cupped his hands to Guo Jia and said, "Officer Guo has not recovered from his illness, why not let this lowly one do the work for you in the future?"

"Then I'll be troubling Academy Officer Zi Long." Guo Jia took this opportunity and quickly stuffed the name list into Zhao Yun's hands.

Zhao Yun ordered ten loud soldiers to stand in front of the stage. He read it once, and the ten people read it out loud after him.

The cold wind became more and more intense, but the hearts of the soldiers became more and more passionate. When Zhao Yun finished reading the names of the thousand man team, the Gongsun Jia brothers pushed a big cart of copper coins and a thousand small copper tokens up to the thousand man team leader, and they once again cheered out loud.

It was a small rectangular sign that was one and a half inches long, one and a half inches wide, and half a finger thick. There was a small sign with a hole in the top that could be hung with a rope, and on the front was carved a strange white horse with wings. On the back were carved a crossed knife and an arrow. In the middle of the knife and arrow were carved the name of the holder. Some of the names were also engraved one or several small five-star characters.

When someone asked about the use of the plate, Zhao Yun explained later and asked for another ten soldiers to replace the previous ten. He then continued to recite the name of the thousand-man squadron.

He spent more than four hours like this, and just as it was about to be the end of the year, the 11,000 soldiers' rewards and tokens were finally all given out. When Zhao Yun packed up the list of names, the cheers on the drill grounds had reached their peak.

Soon after, Gongsun Xu took the list that Zhao Yun had handed over, and after he kept it, he walked to the front of the stage and looked at the excited crowd below the stage. The soldiers quickly quieted down and looked at Gongsun Xu expectantly. Everyone wanted to know if there were any better news to be announced.

Gongsun Xu did not disappoint them and threw out a piece of news that was incredibly shocking for the soldiers, "From today onwards, all the soldiers of the White Horse Camp will receive monthly pay, and the amount of silver will be related to your rank. All the soldiers will be paid three silver coins a month, and the pay for the soldiers will be three silver coins a month, the pay for the soldiers will be five silver coins a month, the pay for the soldiers will be five silver coins a month, the pay for the soldiers will be five silver coins a month, the pay for the soldiers will be five silver coins a day, and the pay for the soldiers will be four silver coins a month.

Almost everyone could not believe that they had heard it for more than two hundred breaths of time. The entire drill grounds had exploded into a commotion, some people were jumping with joy, some people were crying on the ground, and some people were hugging their robes as they laughed out loud, all sorts of emotions running through their bodies.

The purpose of most people joining the army was to offset the taxes and also to be able to eat. Even if they could not eat their fill after joining the army, it was already considered to be a good day for them. Now, Gongsun Xu had announced that he would receive military pay, which was enough to let a family member live a life without worry. Even if a family member died in battle, they would still be able to live a good life on pension.

The people of Wu Huan, who were under Ku Le's command, started crying even more bitterly. They knelt and compared to Gongsun Xu's promise, their past life was truly miserable. During times of war, they had to prepare their own weapons, horses, and food from head to toe. Moreover, if they were to lose their family members in battle, their women would definitely become the tyrants of others. The children were often forced into slavery. Now, even if they were to die on the battlefield, Gu Wuyou would be the one to die. Many people wished that they could die for Gongsun Xu and use their lives in exchange for the good days of their families.

When the crowd quietened down a little, it was unknown who shouted, "Even my children and grandchildren are willing to die for the general. If you break this oath, then lightning will strike the sky". These words completely ignited everyone's excitement.

"Amazing," Guo Jia exclaimed in a low voice. "With such a magnanimous heart, it is as easy as flipping my hand to the world in the future."

Zhao Yun and Yan Rou both heard his words, but their expressions did not change at all. They only knelt down together with the rest of the soldiers and saluted Gongsun Xu respectfully.

Perhaps the heavens had also felt the crowd's high and mighty emotions, because the cold wind that had been howling all this time had actually dispersed the thick clouds. A ray of sunlight that passed through the dark clouds shone upon Gongsun Xu, who was standing at the front of the stage. At that moment, the light around him seemed to dim, only Gongsun Xu's silver black armor released a bright light, as though he was a god that descended to the mortal world …

Guo Jia quickly kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Gongsun Xu, then shouted out loud: "This is the Lord's favor, the blessings of the citizens, the blessings of us all Guo Jia, we congratulates the Lord and the people."

The intelligent Guo Jia, how could he not know that this was the best opportunity to imply that Gongsun Xu was the chosen one? After today's scene, in the hearts of the soldiers of the White Horse Camp, Gongsun Xu's name would definitely spread far and wide, and even if Gongsun Xu's strength was the most important, but his illustrious reputation would not be inferior to Gongsun Xu's, and once more people agreed that Gongsun Xu was the chosen one, with his own strength being very strong, it would be as easy for him to take over this world in the future.

Zhao Yun and Yan Rou followed closely behind: "This subordinate congratulates the common people!"

"Congratulations to the Lord and to the people!"

"Congratulations to the Lord and to the people!"

For the second time, the atmosphere of fervor in the Coliseum reached its peak.

"Brother, you look so impressive!" With the help of the pillars outside the camp's gate, Gongsun Rui, who was peeking inside, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Liu Ninger, who was at the side, held onto the fence with both hands. Her small face was flushed red and her eyes were filled with adoration and love.

Hua Chan, who was to Liu Ninger's left, nodded repeatedly. "Truly impressive. It looks just like a divine general descending to the mortal world."

Standing next to Hua Chan was a heroically dressed woman, with a two-foot long short sword hanging at her waist. The sword sheath was filled with simple patterns. At this time, she was also staring intently at Gongsun Xu. Although her expression was calm, there was a lot of meaning mixed within her gaze.

"Senior Sister, what do you think?" Hua Chan suddenly turned to ask the girl in black.

The woman in black first nodded, then she shook her head, but she didn't say anything.

Hua Chan smiled and looked at Zhao Yun once again.

The order they received was to stop all those who approached the camp. However, whoever ate the bear heart leopard would naturally not dare to take a second look at the young misses of the Marquis' house, since the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor Hua and the fiancée of Academy Officer Zhao were not that easy to deal with. They could only ignore them and grumble in their hearts, as they could only peek at the scene on the school grounds, but now these four misses were eyeing them covetously, who would dare to neglect their duties?

In addition to the guards on the archer tower, there were also four squads of mounted soldiers patrolling back and forth outside the camp, ready to stop anyone who came near the camp at any time. However, just like the fellow warriors on the archery tower, when Gongsun Rui and the other three stealthily approached the military camp, not only did they suddenly turn blind, they also galloped their horses far away, afraid of bumping into the young misses.

When Guo Jia knelt down and kowtowed, Gongsun Xu did not react at all. It was only when everyone knelt down and shouted that he understood what Guo Jia meant. Gongsun Xu was not a saint, he could not even be considered a good person. He was a man with ambitions and a bottom-line, he could use some dirty tricks to fight for supremacy in the world.

In other words, whoever could put on this robe that belonged to Heaven's Mandate would occupy the highest point of morality and be able to place a crime on someone else and go on a crusade. When a power rose to power, what it needed the most wasn't some bullsh * t, but a leader with great prestige and power. As for cooking it, she could play with it after she got it from the world. The reason why Guo Jia did what he did was to help Gongsun Xu put on that outer coat in advance.'s brain was not bad, how could he not know that this matter would bring him great benefits, how could he voice objections?
