Early the next morning, shortly after Huangfu Xiong's men arrived at Zhengzhou City to meet Zhao Wei, Hu Dehai brought his brothers to the outside of Zhengzhou City. Zhuge Xin rode alone to Zhao Wei's tent, not being polite with Zhao Wei.
”This matter is of great importance. I cannot make a decision so easily. Moreover, there is a disturbance in the Zhengzhou. These people are also the culprits. If they are allowed to become the guards of the city, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future.” Zhao Wei thought for a moment and said to Zhuge.
Zhuge Xin nodded and replied, ”I thought so too. It's just that these people are too rude and impatient. If I can't comfort them, there might be trouble again. This time, the Prince has also sent someone to secretly contact me, telling me to take care of this matter with you. These bandits would be a great help to the King's Manor in the future. If they were not dealt with properly, it would affect the entire Green Forest Sect's trust in the Palace. I suppose you know why the King's Manor can walk so smoothly in the martial world.
Zhao Wei understood in his heart that this bandit group had to satisfy not only the imperial government, but the people of Green Forest as well. Otherwise, if the King's Mansion had any more things to do in the future, they would face not only the pressure from the imperial government, but also Green Forest's revenge.
”I will take care of this matter properly, don't worry.” I have also heard of that Hu Dehai. He is not a great evildoer, it's just that his fate was not good when he was born. You can go back and let them rest for a while. I will report the situation to the prince and the imperial government, and at that time, the prince can also come up with a plan. ” Zhao Wei said to Zhuge.
When Zhuge Xin heard Zhao Wei's reply, he felt slightly more at ease. He immediately turned around and left Zhao Wei's tent. He then mounted his horse and returned to Hu Dehai's place. He told Hu Dehai and the others to enter the city to rest and await the imperial court's orders.
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and immediately went into the city in groups of three or five.
Because the prefectural army had been annihilated, the current military camp was completely empty. However, all the goods and materials had been stolen by the people nearby, leaving only the empty room standing.
However, the ecstatic crowd paid no heed to this. Following the guidance of Zhao Wei's soldiers, Tian Qingshan and the others found a place to rest.
Not long after everyone clamored and entered the barracks, Huangfu Xiong brought a few commanders and rushed towards the source of the noise. When they saw Huangfu Xiong with their sharp eyes, they immediately recognized him. When the originally happy Hu Dehai and the others saw Huangfu Xiong, who had already taken the first step, their hearts skipped a beat.
Especially Hu Dehai. Although he and Huangfu Xiong were called the True State Duo Xiong, the two sides had always been at loggerheads. After all, there could only be one overlord in the Land of Han-Yang. The two sides had fought over this a few times. This was also why the people of the Peach Blossom Mountain were surrounded. Hu Dehai did not think of saving others, but instead brought people to rob them. After all, if the people of the Peach Blossom Mountain died, then they would die.
”Yo, isn't he a man from Tianshan Mountain?” Huangfu Xiong looked at Hu Dehai and the others as he said with a smile that was not a smile.
Hu Dehai rolled his eyes and didn't say anything as he walked past him. When he came, Zhuge Xin had told him that after entering the city, no one was allowed to come into conflict with others as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
”Boss Hu, congratulations. From today onwards, you will be the vice-general of this prefecture.” Huangfu Xiong said with a smile.
”Secondary...” Vice General? ” When Hu Dehai heard these words, he was slightly surprised. He turned around, grabbed Huangfu Xiong's collar, and ferociously asked.
”What is it? Don't you know? ”General Zhao has already promised me that from now on, the army general of the Zhengzhou will not be Huangfu Xiong anymore.” After he finished speaking, Huangfu Xiong arrogantly raised his head.
