“What did you say?”
“Are you insane?”
“Beautiful lady, I admit you’re gorgeous, but you can’t be that delusional. Who is our commander? He is a god to the people of Wu, a god! Do you understand what a god is? Is he someone you can just meet on a whim?”
A group of commoner officers yelled.
These people, all from humble backgrounds, were not pretending or insulting Tang Keke. They spoke from the heart, because in their eyes, their commander was truly a god.
“You have no face!”
Ye Zixiao fanned the flames from the side.
“Why don’t you try?”
Tang Keke smiled and looked at Ye Zixiao.
“There’s really no need, let me do it.”
Ye Zixiao stepped forward, facing the group of commoner officers, and said haughtily, “I am your commander’s elder brother. I now order you to immediately summon your commander to see me.”
“What?”
“What did you say?”
“Hahaha, who are you calling elder brother?”
“Damn it, this is hilarious!”
The commoner officers finally burst into laughter.
In their opinion, those two commanders were comparable to deities. Although this man from Long Country was imposing, covered in blood, he could not possibly be the commander’s elder brother!
“You’re not that great either!”
Tang Keke seized the opportunity to retort.
“Damn it.”
Ye Zixiao glared, pointed at two officers who appeared to be of higher rank, and shouted, “Now, immediately, at once, summon your damned commanders to see me. Damn it, have they gone rogue?”
“Commander arrives!”
Someone suddenly shouted from the crowd.
“Make way, hurry, make way.”
“Greetings, Commander. Greetings, Commander.”
“We pay our respects to the Commander…”
The vast multitude of commoner soldiers immediately parted, creating a path. Whether soldiers or officers, all bowed respectfully. They greeted their commander with utmost sincerity.
Ye Zixiao and Tang Keke looked up.
They saw two palanquins.
They were simple palanquins made of wood, without canopies, just a chair. Two men, dressed in conspicuous military uniforms with hats obscuring their eyes, were being carried over.
In short.
These two commanders were putting on quite a show!
“Is it them?”
Ye Zixiao tilted his head and muttered.
“Can’t see clearly?”
Tang Keke frowned slightly.
As Ye Zixiao and Tang Keke were muttering, a man on one of the palanquins said lazily, “Who wants to see me? The King of Wu is dead, are you still not surrendering? Are you tired of living?”
“Damn it, just shoot them!”
The man on the other palanquin added.
“Did you hear that?”
“You two, why aren’t you kneeling yet?”
“Disrespecting the Commander is a death sentence.”
The officers began to shout again.
From their voices, Ye Zixiao and Tang Keke recognized these two bombastic commanders as Leng Shao and Shan Ge. They had only been separated for a few days, and these two had already turned their backs on them?
“Kneel.”
“I told you to kneel.”
“Are you kneeling or not?”
The officers raised their guns one after another.
“Kneel your grandmother!”
Ye Zixiao couldn’t hold back any longer. He stepped forward, raised his voice, and roared, “You two scoundrels, are you trying to rebel? You dare to make me kneel, don’t you want your asses anymore?”
“Who?”
“Who’s speaking?”
The two commanders suddenly sat up straighter.
They instinctively took off their hats, exchanged a glance, and then looked down from their elevated positions towards the source of the voice. At this sight, the two imposing commanders were instantly petrified.
After a full ten seconds.
Leng Shao and Shan Ge finally snapped back to reality.
“Brother Xiao!”
“Brother Xiao, I’ve missed you so much.”
“Brother Xiao, I love you.”
“Brother Xiao, you are my god.”
The two commanders suddenly erupted. They jumped down from their palanquins and scrambled forward. Each grabbed one of Ye Zixiao’s legs.
“What the hell are you doing?”
Ye Zixiao was completely flustered.
“Brother Xiao, I was wrong.”
“Brother Xiao, I’ll never dare again.”
“Brother Xiao, I missed you.”
“Brother Xiao, don’t leave me.”
The two lunatics were acting up again.
Apart from these two commanders, the entire place was silent!
The commoners nearby, both soldiers and officers, stared with wide eyes and gaping mouths at this scene. They had never dreamed that their two commanders would do something like this?
Their two commanders!
Beings like gods!
Why would such high-ranking deities kneel at the feet of a man covered in blood? More importantly, this man covered in blood had just emerged from the royal palace?!
“Am I blind?”
“Two commanders, are they trying to defect?”
“Hehehe, this is a dream!”
“Yes, it’s a dream, it must be a dream!”
The officers dared not believe their own eyes.
“Boss, Boss!”
Just as the commoner army was utterly bewildered, an extremely excited shout came from the rear of the crowd. A large group of soldiers, armed with guns, pushed through the crowd and forcefully cleared another path.
A majestic officer.
He ran forward.
“Master Gou! Hello!”
“Master Gou, greetings!”
“Master Gou, may you be prosperous!”
The commoner soldiers respectfully shouted.
Because the one running over was no ordinary person. He was the King of Da Wu City, the soul of the entire commoner uprising army. If it hadn’t been for Master Gou’s army leading the charge, the commoner army would not have won so easily.
Therefore.
In the hearts of the commoners, Master Gou was almost a god!
“Make way, don’t block the path.”
Master Gou yelled, completely unconcerned with greeting the commoner army. He rushed to Ye Zixiao without stopping, intending to kneel and hug his leg, but there were no legs left to hug.
“Have you two hugged enough?”
Master Gou squatted down, patted Leng Shao and Shan Ge on the shoulder, and pleaded, “If you’re done, can you let me have a leg? I haven’t seen my elder brother in a long time, can I hug him for a bit?”
“Get lost!”
Leng Shao and Shan Ge retorted simultaneously.
“Damn, why are you guys getting upset?”
Master Gou was helpless. He stood up, bowed, and looked at Ye Zixiao like a servant, flattering him, “Boss, I knew you’d be here. Besides you, who else could so easily defeat the King of Wu in this world?”
“Master Gou, stop flattering him.”
“Brother Xiao isn’t for you to lick.”
“I am Brother Xiao’s dog.”
“If you want to lick, get in line.”
Leng Shao and Shan Ge shouted indignantly.
“This is truly interesting!”
Tang Keke laughed brilliantly.
Ye Zixiao contorted his face, looked at the two kneeling lunatics, then at the expectant Master Gou, and all his anger dissipated. After all, these three were too good at flattering!
“All of you, get lost!”
Ye Zixiao suddenly trembled all over.
Leng Shao and Shan Ge were blown away.
Master Gou, who was standing, was not affected by the shockwave. But seeing that Leng Shao and Shan Ge had both fallen to the ground, he realized it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to stand. So, he shouted and rolled on the ground a few times.
“Brother Xiao is awesome!”
“Brother Xiao is invincible!”
“Brother Xiao, forever…”
The three professional sycophants shouted madly.
“Hehehe, I’m impressed!”
Ye Zixiao patted his forehead helplessly.
“Come on, call him Divine Ye.”
“All personnel, stand at attention.”
“This is my elder brother.”
“Call him Divine Ye, quickly call him Divine Ye.”
“Damn it, call him!”
The three top sycophants yelled at the commoner army.
The surrounding crowded masses were completely bewildered. They could not understand why the two commanders and one Master Gou were showing such deference to this man covered in blood.
But their superiors had ordered it.
No one dared to disobey.
“Divine Ye!”
“Greetings, Divine Ye!”
“Divine Ye…”
People shouted chaotically.
“Damn it, all in unison!”
Leng Shao suddenly jumped up and roared.
“Divine Ye!”
“Divine Ye!”
“Divine Ye…”
The commoner army shouted in unison, loud and clear.
