Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
Li Jue nodded, then announced loudly, "I hereby declare: from this day forward, you are husband and wife. I have invited Prefect Xun to officiate a mass wedding for you tonight. Tonight, let's drink until we drop!"
"Thank you, General!!"
The thought that a prefectural governor could be their witness made everyone smile with joy and thank Li Jue.
Li Jue waved his hand and laughed, "Haha~ No need to thank me in time, His Majesty has gifts for you!"
"Gift?"
Everyone looked at Li Jue with curiosity.
"That's right! His Majesty once said that in the future, our soldiers, once they have wives, must have their own homes!"
As he spoke, Li Jue beckoned to a clerk not far away, "Bring the things up here!!"
"Home?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback and looked at Li Jue with puzzled expressions.
Soon the clerk came to Li Jue's side carrying a tray.
"Li Sima!"
"Um!"
Li Jue nodded and looked at the tray in the clerk's hand. On the tray was a stack of house deeds, which were the houses that Xun You and Li Jue had prepared for them.
"Distribute these deeds to each of the brothers, one for each of them!"
"promise!"
The clerk, who had received instructions from Li Jue, came before the crowd carrying a tray.
"This is... the property deed?"
Chen Erlu picked up a property deed from the tray and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Then Chen Erlu turned to the woman beside him and said with a happy expression, "We have our own house now!"
"Uh-huh!"
The woman, with tears in her eyes, looked at the property deed in Chen Erlu's hand and nodded.
"We have our own home now!"
As he spoke, Chen Erlu excitedly pulled the woman into his arms.
Like Chen Erlu, the others all shed tears of excitement the moment they received their house deeds and embraced the women beside them.
Before, they were just ordinary soldiers who risked their lives. The only reason they joined the army was to have enough to eat. Now, they not only have wives, but also their own homes. How could they not be excited and thrilled?
"Haha~ Have you hugged enough? If you want to keep hugging, then take the property deed and go back to your own home. Don't get in the way here!!"
Hearing Li Jue's teasing, Chen Erlu and the others felt embarrassed and separated from their wives.
Seeing this, Li Jue couldn't help but smile. "Alright, now all the brothers have their own wives and their own families. All of this is thanks to His Majesty. Without His Majesty, there would be no brothers like us today!"
Immediately, Li Jue's expression turned solemn, and he asked loudly, "Tell me, how should we repay His Majesty's great kindness?"
"We swear to serve Your Majesty to the death!"
As Li Jue finished speaking, Chen Erlu in the crowd was the first to loudly shout his allegiance.
"We swear to be loyal to His Majesty to the death!!"
The others also shouted in unison, and even the Western Region women beside them echoed their sentiments.
