Chapter 1201

"This military merit, consider it a gift for you, my lord!"

Following Piao Duo's words, the internal competition in the field accelerated instantly.

"I also know where my tribesmen live!"

"Me too..."

For a moment, there were quite a few people willing to sacrifice their tribesmen to heaven to achieve military merit.

Lu Zhen was stunned.

He stared at Gao Yang, his heart trembling slightly.

In the past, Da Qian generals had also used Xiongnu people, but the results were extremely poor.

Some Xiongnu people would reach the desert, promise to lead the way, but then deliberately guide them in the opposite direction before seizing the chance to slip away.

Da Qian generals found it hard to distinguish the true from the false among the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu had no desire to work for Da Qian.

But Gao Yang was different; he held a noble status and was the minister Wu Zhao trusted most. Any military merit earned on the battlefield was genuine and solid!

Furthermore, this kid Gao Yang had money and even schools!

It was easy for Xiongnu people to enter Da Qian to live, but obtaining a legitimate Da Qian identity was as hard as ascending to heaven, and the various benefits were extremely poor—not to mention entering schools or participating in the imperial examinations.

Others couldn't make such promises, but Gao Yang could!

Lu Zhen stroked his beard, feeling ridiculous for his earlier dissuasion, and secondly, feeling a sense of anticipation.

On the drill field.

The atmosphere grew increasingly heated.

The Da Qian soldiers who had previously watched the fun and laughed at the Xiongnu being picked by Gao Yang could no longer laugh; they were sour, their hearts filled with envy, and their eyes turned red.

Wang Erniu even knelt down directly.

With these benefits, let alone the Xiongnu, even he, Wang Erniu, would be willing to die for Gao Yang.

Watching the internal competition as the Xiongnu vied to sacrifice their own kin for the sake of righteousness, Gao Yang revealed a satisfied smile; he descended to the field and began selecting his personal guards.

Naturally, the first to be chosen were the Xiongnu who had stood up to support him before any conditions were even laid out.

Even if these few were less qualified, Gao Yang intended to take them under his command and cultivate them with focus.

As Gao Yang came down.

Lu Yourong's heart pounded wildly.

Gao Yang... seemed to be walking toward her!

That shouldn't be!

She hadn't spoken, hadn't displayed any martial prowess, and had wrapped her chest round after round—could Gao Yang still discover her?

Tap! Tap!

As the footsteps drew closer and closer.

Suddenly.

The footsteps stopped abruptly—Gao Yang arrived in front of Lu Yourong and stood still.

Lu Yourong kept her head bowed, feeling incredibly nervous.

At this moment.

Gao Yang's voice rang out.

"Tsk tsk, such a thin frame, yet able to develop such large pectoral muscles—truly a miracle. It wouldn't be excessive for this official to touch these pecs, would it?"
