Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 735 Joining the Empire
"If that's the case, then just accept the supplies."

Lu Hao didn't want to see these guys.

how to say?

When they were defending the city before, everyone was afraid of death and hid at home and did not lend a helping hand.

Now that he saw that he had won the battle, he quickly came to curry favor with him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, they said they wanted to thank you for guarding Jindu City. General, I think you... you'd better meet them."

General Zou leaned close to him and whispered.

"Thank me? Then... let's meet you then."

Lu Hao seemed to understand a little bit.

He walked towards the group of wealthy merchants, his steps seemed very light, and his sharp gaze swept across them, like a bolt of lightning striking their hearts.

"Meet the emperor!"

Those guys knelt down and saluted.

"No courtesy! Get up and talk."

Lu Hao waved his hand, looking very generous.

A middle-aged man stood up, bowed slightly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this villain's name is Zhou Dingbang. I came here this time mainly to thank the Emperor on behalf of the people of the city for guarding Jindu City and saving our Jindu City from the suffering of the war. At the same time, I brought some cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers guarding the city."

With a wave of his hand, the servants immediately brought up three large boxes.

When the box was opened, it was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, which blinded everyone's eyes.

However, Lu Hao had experienced strong winds and waves. He didn't even blink his eyelids or even have any unnecessary expression, and acted very calmly.

For a person who has seen hundreds of boxes of gold and silver jewelry, two or three boxes of jewelry will not stir up any excitement at all.

"Your Majesty, this is our tribute to you!"

Zhou Dingbang smiled flatteringly, but was observing Lu Hao's expression.

However, he felt very disappointed. Lu Hao's eyes were unmoved, as if what he saw in front of him was just a piece of shit.

"As for the cattle, sheep and food over there, they are to reward the soldiers."

Zhou Dingbang quickly added.

Lu Hao turned around and saw that there were at least a hundred animals, and his eyes did not change at all.

"Zhou Dingbang, tell me, what do you want? Or what do you want to get from me?"

Lu Hao said calmly.

"The emperor is joking. We really admire Emperor Yongtai. How could we have any request?"

Zhou Dingbang responded with a grimace.

"Actually, it's nothing. No reward for no merit. Tell me, what do you want?"

Lu Hao asked again with a smile.

"Your Majesty, all of us in the city are grateful for Your Majesty's kindness and want to join the Chinese Empire and receive the protection of the Empire."

Zhou Dingbang finally said it.

"Hahaha... This is not a difficult task. I promise you here. From today on, Jindu City is the territory of the Chinese Empire. You are all subjects of the Chinese Empire. Anyone who wants to attack Jindu City belongs to the Chinese Empire. enemy!"

Lu Haole responded loudly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Everyone immediately knelt down and shouted long live.

The sound shook the sky and resounded throughout Jindu City. It seemed that the louder the sound, the more it symbolized that they had joined the Chinese Empire.

"Please accept these things, your Majesty!"

Zhou Dingbang said quickly.

"Zhou Dingbang, since it is what the people of Jindu City want, I will accept it. On behalf of the soldiers who defended the city this time, I thank you all!"

Lu Hao thanked him loudly. "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

Everyone knelt down to watch and kowtow again, shouting long live with astonishing momentum.

"In that case, let us inform you that the whole Jindu City will celebrate tonight. Zhou Dingbang, please arrange for them to come to the celebration together."

Lu Hao looked at the others and said loudly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Zhou Dingbang was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed in thanks.

The rest of the people also quickly followed suit and thanked them. Many people were so excited that they almost died.

Just imagine, what an honor and respect it is to be able to eat with Emperor Yongtai of the Chinese Empire, which is enough for some people to brag for a lifetime.

The square in front of the palace was quickly cleared out, and General Zhao, as the organizer of the celebration, immediately started arranging people to decorate it.

As the representative of Jindu City, Zhou Dingbang naturally would not sit idly by and immediately organized people to deliver a lot of pots, pans, tables, chairs, and some wine utensils.

In this way, the whole scene became lively.

The two princesses got a lot of rare ingredients and were already busy, obviously preparing authentic Western cuisine for Lu Hao.

After making a tour, Lu Hao went to the refugee camp to visit everyone and gave a brief speech to appease everyone.

There are more than [-] refugees, which is a very powerful force. Lu Hao plans to let the men among these refugees build roads and the women to breed, so that they can be self-reliant.

However, before that, Lu Hao had to defeat the Great Zhou Dynasty and other dynasties that were eyeing him in order to give them a stable environment.

……

On the other side, Zhou Lifeng led the army southward and captured Jidong City in only half an hour.

Back at Yin Shi last night, General Fu led the defeated generals with the remaining soldiers and wanted to hide in Jidong City.

However, when they came to Jidong City and saw the flag of the Zhou Dynasty flying on the city tower, they were completely confused.

It took him half a minute to come back to his senses, but Ji Dongcheng had fallen into Zhou Lifeng's hands.

"Despicable and shameless Zhou Lifeng, you are even more shameless and despicable than Lu Hao, and you are even more..."

General Fu no longer knew what words to use to describe Zhou Lifeng.

Although he was very angry, he did not dare to enter the city. He did not even have the courage to approach the city gate. He quickly rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and fled.

However, there was no way he would suffer such a disadvantage. General Fu who went south met General Li who came for reinforcements and brought [-] elite troops with him.

"General Fu, what's wrong with you?"

General Li was extremely surprised.

"General Li, it's great to see you. We attacked Jindu City and were tricked by Emperor Yongtai of the Chinese Empire. We suffered heavy casualties..."

General Fu burst into tears and complained that he had been burned by the fire until his eyebrows were gone.

"What's even more disgusting is that we were originally planning to retreat to Jidong City, but unexpectedly Zhou Lifeng took advantage of the emptiness behind us and captured Jidong City. It's really despicable!"

When General Fu talked about Zhou Lifeng, he gritted his teeth and seemed to hate this guy who stabbed him in the back even more.

"What? Zhou Lifeng? Prince Feng of Zhou Dynasty?"

General Li was also shocked.

"Yes, that's the 'crazy' prince. He actually took the city we occupied by force, which seriously violated the purpose of our Western Region Alliance. It's really shameless."

General Fu said angrily.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty sent people to make it clear to the king in advance that they would carve up the Kingdom of Shu together. Whoever captures the city first will own it. However, how can this Zhou Lifeng be unreasonable?"

General Li looked gloomy.

"Zhou Lifeng is a lunatic. Have you ever heard that he can be reasonable? I don't think Ji Dongcheng will come back unless we attack the city ourselves."

General Fu said coldly.
