Chapter 429 Personal Advertisement
Before Lord Sikong could finish speaking, three military boots were already slamming towards her.
Lord Sikong let out a wail and quickly retreated several steps.
I'll kick you to death, you corrupt official!
"What business is it of ours if you want to show off? Why are you dragging us into it!"
"He's trying to curry favor with His Majesty the Northern Emperor!"
"You inhuman bastard!"
……
Lord Sikong felt that he had not paid attention to the construction of military civility for some time and had not implemented and strengthened the discipline of the troops. As a result, none of his subordinates took him seriously.
He swept forward with a powerful attack, striking several men with his palms before kicking each of them in the face, sending them flying instantly.
'Bah! '
'Bah! '
'Bah! '
The three men knelt in a neat row at Lord Sikong's feet, crying out in unison, "My lord, spare our lives! We'll fight you, okay? We'll fight you!"
Lord Sikong smiled and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his hands. He then handed the handkerchief to Zhu Si, who was standing in front of him, to wipe his nosebleed. He reprimanded him in a very serious tone, "Obeying orders is a soldier's duty. How dare you be so impolite to me? Do you think I have no temper just because I am handsome, gentle, and don't like to fight? As high-ranking officers and generals of my Sikong Jin Legion, you don't understand the spirit of 'Bright Sword,' the spirit of swordsmanship, and the spirit of the warrior at all. How will you lead my legion's subordinates in the future? With such poor awareness, don't say you are my men when you leave!"
Lady Sikong was extremely angry and disappointed. A flush of anger rose on her delicate face as she stared intently at the few people in front of her who were groaning and getting up.
"Pah! He talks like he has all that spirit, but he's fooled me countless times with his reckless rushing forward!"
Meng Benbo spoke very quietly to Mei Ruhua.
"Sir, you are so ungentlemanly to lay a hand on a woman!"
Mei Ruhua gritted her teeth and glared at Lord Sikong.
"In my eyes, there is no distinction between men and women in the military!"
"No wonder her affair with His Majesty was so..."
"I am now giving you important instructions. If you want to return to Dayong alive, listen to my arrangements. Deputy General Meng, immediately gather my troops. I have something to tell you, so hurry! I will be waiting for you in the central camp."
After saying this, Lord Sikong turned back.
Inside the central camp of Sikong Jin's army, Sikong Jin didn't have to wait long before a group of his subordinates were summoned. Lord Sikong took out a map from his sleeve, gathered them around, and gave them a pre-battle deployment.
"His Majesty the Northern Emperor will soon issue a challenge to the Heavenly Saint Imperial City. The attack will begin tomorrow, and we must take the Heavenly Saint Imperial City as quickly as possible! Don't worry, most of the Heavenly Saint's main force was routed in Yingzhou City, and there aren't many troops left in the city. When the bugle sounds tomorrow, you all charge forward and kill as many as you can!"
"If you do well this time, you'll be rewarded handsomely. You'll be promoted, given beautiful wives and concubines, and return home in glory!"
Lord Sikong spoke with great passion and fervor.
"Are you talking nonsense again, sir? When have you ever said the same thing? Every time you win, you give extra food, but there's never any real reward!"
Meng Benbo glanced at Lord Sikong with displeasure. He had just been beaten up by Lord Sikong, and his face was twice the size of before. His dark skin covered the redness and swelling on his face.
"This time it's absolutely true! Look, in order to solve the problem of your high-ranking generals being single, I racked my brains for three days and three nights without sleeping and finally came up with a brilliant solution for you!"
As Lord Sikong spoke, he reached into his sleeve and quickly pulled out a thick stack of papers, handing them to Meng Benbo beside him. He said, “Come on, distribute them. One for each person. Don’t take too many, resources are limited! If you’re married, or have a girlfriend, don’t take any. These are none of your business.”
Meng Benbo quickly distributed the documents one by one. Everyone looked down at the papers, and saw what was written on them—
Military officer/general's marriage advertisement!
Name:
age:
Military Rank:
Appearance and hobbies:
Economic situation:
Ideal spouse:
……
The crowd was bewildered, and some looked up at Lord Sikong, asking in confusion, "My lord, what does this mean?"
Lord Sikong calmly raised his hand, touched his nose, and coughed a few times before saying, "I have already discussed this with the owner of the Hilton Daily. To help officers and generals of marriageable age in my army solve their personal problems, we can help you find spouses through the Hilton Daily. That is to say, fill in your basic information on this form, and then publish your information so that more beautiful women can see it. If they take a liking to someone, they will register at the Hilton Daily's sales counter. After they screen you, they will arrange a meeting for you after you return to the capital..."
After Lord Sikong finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up!
"Then, Lord Sikong, how should this be filled in?"
Everyone was overjoyed and quickly asked.
Lord Sikong smiled and tossed over a piece of paper, sticking it onto the map hanging in front of him. "This is the template. Take a look for yourselves! Once you're done writing, hand it to me and submit it before dinner. Vice General Meng, this matter is now in your hands!"
Lord Sikong left after saying this.
Everyone looked at the piece of paper that Lord Sikong was touching—
Name: Sikong Jin
Age: 18
Military Rank: Deputy Chief of the Military Intelligence Department of the Central Prefecture of the Great Yong Dynasty
Appearance and hobbies: Handsome, dashing, and debonair, known as the 'Number One Quiet Beauty' of the Sikong Jin Legion! He enjoys drinking tea, playing chess, horseback riding, hunting, composing poetry, and discussing military affairs...
……
This incident nearly caused an uproar in Sikong Jin's army. Those who were less literate frantically flipped through books, trying to find a few nice adjectives to highlight their supposedly refined and cultured nature. The soldiers were all excitedly pumped up like they were on steroids.
Because Lord Sikong also said that after tomorrow's battle, whoever kills more than ten enemies will have the opportunity to report it, and it's free! These officers and generals still have to pay a registration fee of ten taels of silver!
Then I can choose any kind of woman I want.
The adults also said that in order to prevent them from losing face for him, only officers of the rank of lieutenant and above could report it. The implication was clear: they could still get promoted and make money!
This enormous temptation greatly motivated the soldiers, who began sharpening their swords, plotting how to behead more people the next day—for the chance to report, for their wives, and for promotion and wealth!
Fight!
The entire Sikong Jin Legion was like howling wolves, eager to go into battle and kill the enemy right now!
