After seeing Zhang Wuji and agreeing to meet that person, Gong Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
She waved casually.
Then, a man in plain clothes and holding a long sword walked towards Zhang Wuji.
The man holding the long sword was Zhang Dingbian.
However, when he was only five steps away from Zhang Wuji, he felt two cold lights flash before his eyes.
A knife and a sword were already placed on Zhang Dingbian's neck.
Even though Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei were fighting all the time, their eyes never left Zhang Wuji.
Yu Fei said viciously: "How arrogant! How dare you meet my man with a knife? Who are you?"
Cold sweat was already running down Zhang Dingbian's forehead.
Fast, too fast indeed.
Zhang Dingbian was also a martial artist, but he never expected that he would be captured so easily.
At this moment, Zhang Wuji said: "Zhiruo, Miss Yu, please don't be rude."
Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei quickly put away their swords.
Zhang Dingbian immediately knelt down and said: "I am Zhang Dingbian, a humble servant. I am willing to serve the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Please accept me in, Your Majesty."
Zhang Wuji stood up and helped him up.
"So you are Zhang Dingbian. I have heard of your name, but I didn't expect that you also survived in Poyang Lake."
Zhang Dingbian quickly said: "Your Majesty, the defeat in Poyang Lake was indeed a bit unfair. Although I am a defeated general, I am willing to serve Your Majesty."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said: "General Zhang, you are too polite. It is God's will that you survived. The world is still unstable. A general like you should not leave the stage of history so early."
As he spoke, Zhang Wuji took out a token from his arms.
"General Zhang, take this token and go to my Ming Dynasty military camp to find Yang Xiao. He is the commander of the 200,000 troops in this city."
"From today on, you will be his deputy general. After you have made military achievements, I will promote you."
Zhang Dingbian couldn't believe his ears.
He said to Zhang Wuji: "Your Majesty, is it that simple?"
"Won't you test me again?"
Zhang Wuji smiled and said: "What is there to test? Trust the people you employ, and don't employ the people you don't trust. I trust you."
Zhang Dingbian was so moved that he couldn't express it in words for a moment.
Such trust and magnanimity were never shown to me even by Chen Youliang, the King of Han, when he was still alive.
Zhang Wuji said to him again: "General Zhang, if you could come a few days earlier, perhaps you could have a leisurely life."
"What a pity. A big war is about to start between Zhao Min and me. I'm afraid you won't have a rest for several months."
Zhang Dingbian quickly said: "Your Majesty, a general should die on the battlefield, and the people should be allowed to enjoy peace."
Zhang Wuji laughed: "Okay, General Zhang, what you said makes sense. You go find Yang Xiao now. From tonight on, you will be his deputy general."
…
Zhang Dingbian left with infinite gratitude.
Yu Fei, who was standing aside, was staring at Gong Yu closely.
Gong Yu felt uncomfortable all over when being stared at.
But just when she was about to get up and leave, Yu Fei called her again.
"Miss Gong, I have heard of Zhang Dingbian. You can even win him over. Just based on this, don't you admit that you are Chen Youliang's man? What's the matter? You are exposed now."
After all, Gong Yu was Chen Youliang's princess before, and was considered a person above everyone else.
But Yu Fei looked down on her again and again.
Even if Gong Yu had a good temper, she couldn't bear it anymore.
Gong Yu gave Yu Fei a cold look.
The dignified, noble and confident expressions are fully displayed on her.
Gong Yu said coldly: "Even if what you said is right, so what? I don't want to talk about my identity and my past anymore."
"But you insisted on rubbing salt into my wounds."
"Do you think this is interesting?"
"Or do you think that bullying others can make you happy?"
Yu Fei was speechless, while Zhou Zhiruo was laughing heartily.
Zhou Zhiruo said to Gong Yu: "Miss Gong, I never thought that you would be like this when you are serious."
"I feel that your temperament is somewhat similar to that of our queen sister."
Afterwards, Zhou Zhiruo said to Fei: "You little bitch, you deserve it. You bullied me just now, and now I'm being criticized. Are you happy now?"
Yu Fei was stunned.
She said to Zhou Zhiruo: "Sister Zhou, your sister was bullied. It would be fine if you didn't help, but how could you add insult to injury?"
Just then, Gong Wu came over again.
She placed two bowls of noodles in front of Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei.
Skilled movements, no nonsense.
Zhou Zhiruo smiled at Gong Yu and said, "Miss Gong, since you came here, your annoying sister has changed and is not so annoying anymore."
Gong Yu said helplessly: "Maybe it's because I have to do all those annoying things."
…
Early the next morning, Zhang Wuji and his two companions arrived at the city wall of Jinyang.
Outside the city, the Yuan army was so dense that it stretched as far as the eye could see.
After seeing Zhang Wuji, Zhang Dingbian hurriedly came forward and said: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said: "No need to be so polite, General Zhang. Are you used to it?"
Zhang Dingbian quickly said: "It's a habit, too much of a habit, a habit I've never had before."
Zhang Wuji laughed and said: "Just get used to it. You are a general and you should fight on the battlefield."
