At that moment, he wasted not a single instant, walked directly before Han Xin, patted his shoulder, and sighed, saying:

"Han Xin, others do not understand you; they all think you are dull, they all think you are foolish, but... I know you are not a dull or foolish person!"

"You have put all your talent points into military affairs; you watch ants fight every day, and what you are watching is the pattern, the arrangement of army formations!"

"I understand you, so, before me, you only need to lead troops and fight; other matters do not need your concern, nor do they fall to you to manage!"

"Here with me, you only need to do one thing: lead troops and fight!"

"Likewise, Cao Can, Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, you few, from now on, shall be Han Xin's subordinate generals!"

"If he orders you east, you must go east; if he orders you west, you must go west; disobeying Han Xin's orders is as disobeying my orders!"

At that moment, Facing Ying Su spoke, and Han Xin's body trembled even more violently.

At this moment, although he still did not speak, his eyes had already turned blood-red!

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he directly knelt before Facing Ying Su and performed a kowtow!

Likewise, Lu Wan, Fan Kuai, Cao Can, and the others, upon hearing these words, were equally stunned!

Han Xin!

Do not think that because Facing Ying Su merely made them Han Xin's subordinate generals, they should be dismissed; know that in Peixian, they were merely a group of local ruffians!

Cao Can's status was slightly higher, yet he was nothing more than a messenger errand boy.

And now, with a single sentence from Facing Ying Su, they became soldiers, became subordinate generals!

Moreover, they became Han Xin's subordinate generals!

Han Xin!

Although now no one knows why Facing Ying Su values him so highly, but... to be highly valued by the Emperor himself is in itself an extraordinary matter.

To have the Emperor spare no effort in letting him train troops is in itself a shocking matter!

And they becoming Han Xin's subordinate generals, in the future, who knows what degree they will reach!

In an instant, they all kowtowed and shouted loudly to Facing Ying Su: "We bow and thank Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"We bow and thank Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"We bow and thank Your Majesty the Emperor!"

At that moment, the shouts shook the heavens!

Cao Can, Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, Xia Houying, the few of them had long since reached a state where their blood vessels were bursting with excitement!

Shouting constantly, kowtowing constantly!

And under the influence of this atmosphere, Han Xin's ice-frozen heart seemed to be melted in an instant!

At this moment, he finally spoke those words of loyalty proactively:

"A scholar dies for one who knows him; from now on, Han Xin is willing to die for Your Majesty the Emperor!"

PS: Begging for flowers, begging for evaluation votes..

038, One Hundred Thousand Gold, for a Title!

"Han Xin is willing to die for Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Once the words were spoken, everyone else's reactions were quite normal!

In their view, this was after all merely a common expression of loyalty, nothing to count.

If they were to express loyalty, Cao Can, Lu Wan, and the others had even more sickeningly sweet words, they were just too embarrassed to say them!

But, this sentence, heard in Facing Ying Su's ears, made him excited to the extreme!

This was Han Xin expressing loyalty!

Know that in this world, some people's loyalty is worthless, yet they love to express loyalty everywhere!

Some people's loyalty is very valuable, yet they never express it carelessly!

And without a doubt, Han Xin is precisely the latter!

Know that Liu Bang, throughout his life, wanted to hear Han Xin say one sentence of loyalty to him.

But... this sentence, even waiting until death, he never waited for it!

And Han Xin had never said any words of loyalty to Liu Bang.

This is also why Liu Bang must kill him!

But now, the one sentence Liu Bang dreamed of hearing was now spoken by Han Xin to him like this.

And Facing Ying Su did not doubt at all whether this loyalty contained any water!

Because, just after he finished speaking those words, the system prompt sound came directly:

"Ding, congratulations host for obtaining Han Xin's one hundred percent loyalty, points increased by one thousand!"

A prompt sound appeared, and Facing Ying Su smiled.

This is the value of Han Xin's one hundred percent loyalty!

A full ten thousand points!

This was still the highest points he had obtained in a single instance!

Facing Ying Su was very happy!

And who else was happy besides the points brought by Han Xin?

Just now, when arranging Lu Wan, Cao Can, and the others, he had similarly obtained points!

It was just... their ranks were too low, each person's loyalty was only fifty points!

The four people combined, altogether only two hundred!

These few points, Facing Ying Su was a bit disdainful of.

But... regarding the points for Kill Xiao He, he valued them immensely!

"Kill Xiao He?"

Ying Su turned toward him, a smile spreading across his face!

In fact, the moment he finished speaking those words to Han Xin, he had already received points from Xiao He!

"Twenty percent loyalty, two hundred points!"

Was this the favor Han Xin felt toward him after witnessing such heavy reliance on him just now?

Ying Su smiled.

At that same moment, Xiao He bowed before him: "This humble one is here!"

"Were you previously the Chief Clerk of Peixian? Essentially in charge of Qian Liang?"

Ying Su inquired!

Xiao He bowed: "Indeed!"

"Good!"

Ying Su nodded, saying nothing more.

Instead, he walked toward the cart holding Zhang Liang.

No... not a prisoner cart!

It was a flatbed cart; Zhang Liang was bound tightly with five ropes upon it, and a piece of cloth was stuffed in his mouth.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty the Emperor! This is to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide! That is why it is done thus!"

The tavern owner who had escorted Zhang Liang over reported this; Ying Su nodded in satisfaction:

"Once this matter is concluded, go to the Prime Minister's residence and collect one hundred thousand gold!"

Having said this, he walked toward Zhang Liang!

Remember, this was a person he had procured for one hundred thousand gold!

Ying Su looked at him, feeling very proud and very pleased!

Zhang Liang, this man is a great talent!

Han Fei once became so excited upon obtaining Zhang Liang that he could not sleep for three days and three nights!

Now he felt that same sensation, yet... could Zhang Liang be recruited by him just as Han Xin had been?

Ying Su was thinking this in his heart.

But the look in Zhang Liang's eyes as he gazed at Ying Su was not so gentle!

His eyes bulged as if his sockets would split; he struggled repeatedly, seemingly trying to say something, but because his mouth was blocked, he could say nothing at all!

Ying Su stared at him for a while, neither removing the rag from his mouth nor saying anything else; instead, he turned and walked away, then addressed the crowd:

"Everyone, you have traveled far and worked hard; follow me into the palace!"
