Wang Xiaoqi knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Heavenly King, please don't take my soul away. Please spare my life. I have an eighty-year-old mother to support at home... woo woo!"
"How old are you this year?" Zhang Shixun looked at him carefully again and again. This guy was so dark that it was impossible to tell his age.
"I...I am twenty-eight years old this year." Wang Xiaoqi sobbed.
Zhang Shixun kicked him and said, "You're only 28, how come you have a mother who's over 80?"
Wang Xiaoqi was stunned and dumbfounded.
Everyone present burst into laughter.
"This is just a photo of you, not your soul." Zhang Shixun pointed at the PDA and said, "This is a magical device given to me by God. It can instantly capture a person's shadow."
Zhang Shixun recorded another live video and showed it to everyone.
Everyone looked on, stunned.
"Old cat, you are in here." A minion said stutteringly.
"And you too," said another.
"We are all in there." Someone finally discovered that the image in the artifact was the current scene.
In order to win the loyalty of these guys, Zhang Shixun clicked on the war scene that Zhao Ji had seen.
Everyone was shocked.
"This is a heavenly book. The war described in it is real. I showed it to the emperor yesterday." Zhang Shixun put away his phone, his expression serious. "In a few years, a war like this will happen in Kaifeng. By then, Kaifeng will be devastated and corpses will be scattered everywhere. You bastards will not be able to escape this horrific disaster."
It was quiet in front of Guifan Tower, and all the minions were frightened.
"Even though you guys are all cowards and bastards, and some of you are guilty of murder, I was sent by God to save the people from disaster. I can't just sit back and watch you, the rats who make a living, so I'm here today."
The minions knelt down again, including Li Kui and Li Moulue.
"I beg the Heavenly King to help us brothers. We will listen to you and obey whatever you say." Li Kui said while bowing his head.
"Please ask the Heavenly King." The minions kowtowed together.
Zhang Shixun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Everyone, get up."
Li Moulue said, "Heavenly King, what do you want us to do? Please give us your orders. No matter if it's fire or water, we will attack wherever you point us."
Zhang Shixun sat back in his chair, patted the armrest and said, "I'm willing to show you a way forward, giving you a chance to start anew. Of course, whether you can seize this opportunity depends on you. Some people prefer to take the long road, while others prefer to walk the narrow path. Everyone has their own preferences, and you can't force them."
"I intend to obey the order of the Heavenly King." Li Moulue said loudly.
"I agree too." Li Kui said later.
"That's what I'm thinking."
"We all do."
…
The minions all echoed.
"It seems you're all willing. Great! In that case, I'll be frank with you." Zhang Shixun nodded with satisfaction and continued, "I'm currently the deputy commander of the First Army of the Right Wing of the Tianwu Army. In preparation for the war a few years from now, I'll begin training and reorganizing the army within the next two days. At the same time, we need to make some other preparations, which will require a lot of manpower..."
"I have to admit that some of you have some abilities that could come in handy. As long as you can get things done, no matter what crimes you've committed in the past, I'll find a way to clear your identity, allowing you to live an upright life up there, and even give you a future."
When the minions heard this, everyone had a look of anticipation in their eyes.
They have lived underground for many years and know what fate awaits them.
Few people in Wuyou Cave live beyond the age of forty. In addition to being captured and killed by the government, they also have to face various underworld vendettas and the torture of diseases. They live a precarious life every day.
No one wants to live like this.
Now that someone has finally pointed out a bright path for them, how can they not be happy?
"However, don't be too happy. Let me be frank. The tasks I assign you to do are not something you can complete casually. Some are very difficult, and some are even dangerous. It all depends on your own ability."
"Heavenly King, we are not afraid. As long as we have wealth and honor, danger is nothing." Someone shouted from below.
"Wealth and honor are achieved through risk. Even though we have not been educated, we know this truth." Someone echoed.
All the minions were ready to go, their excitement evident in words.
"Well! Let me be clear. I plan to organize all of you. Some will work in the workshops, some will train in the army, and a very small number will be sent to other places to do some work. In addition..." Zhang Shixun coughed, his face becoming serious. "I will also select a few capable and shrewd people from among you and send them to foreign countries to spy on military intelligence. This task is particularly challenging and risky, but if you do it well, the rewards will be huge. You will be given official positions and money."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present showed ecstasy on their faces.
"Li Moulue, register all the people and make a roster for me."
Li Moulue was very obedient. He brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone and quickly registered all the people.
"Master Li Dong and Li Moulue stay, the others can go." Zhang Shixun said loudly.
The minions saluted Zhang Shixun and walked out in a chaotic manner.
"King Zhang, this is the registration booklet, please take a look." Li Moulue handed over the list with both hands humbly.
