Chapter 123 The End of the Hero ([-])

The soldiers stood apart on both sides, vacating a passage in the middle, and two soldiers walked up with a big sack in their hands.

They deftly untied the sack and pulled it down hard, revealing Hou Jing's silent face inside the bag.

"Hou Jing, are you convinced now?" Yuan Ke asked in a calm tone.

Hou Jingchang sighed, and said with a smile: "Last time, I still felt that I was unlucky, but this time, I really gave in. Although you are young, your resourcefulness is a hundred times better than mine, and your future is limitless ah!"

"Hou Jing, you are indeed a hero. I will bury you generously after you die, don't worry!" Yuan Ke said lightly, as if two old friends were just reminiscing about the old days.

"I have another unfeeling request." Hou Jing said with a smile, "I have followed Gao Wang all my life, and traveled across the north for more than [-] years. After I die, please point my tombstone to the north."

Yuan Ke nodded silently, and said in a low voice: "Hou Jing colluded with the captives, intending to rebel, and according to the law of the Great Liang, he will be executed immediately without pardon!"

As Hou Jing's figure faded away, the long-awaited voice in Yuan Ke's mind finally sounded again!
[Hidden mission [-] "Suppressing the Hou Jing Rebellion" was successful, do you want to save it now? 】

"Yes!"

[The archive is successful, do you want to continue the simulation experience? 】

"Yes!"

After occupying Guoyang City, Yuan Ke understood that his immediate priority was to maintain the stability of the order in the city, otherwise if the people were not convinced, he would never live in peace in the future.

Before he had time to think about it, he imitated Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and loudly announced the improved version of the "Three Chapters of the Covenant": "From now on, you are not allowed to hurt the lives of the people, you are not allowed to plunder the people's property, and you are not allowed to bully the people with power!"

The people of Guoyang City have been suffering from wars and exploitation for many years, and now they see the King Pingnan who fell from the sky, not only convincing the people, but also speaking nicely, keeping the people in their hearts every sentence, they can't help being moved , applauded spontaneously.

Yuan Ke saw that his words had an effect, so he added: "From now on, no matter whether it is the people of Yingzhou or Nanyuzhou, no matter how high or low they are born, no matter how rich or poor they are, as long as they really have talents and can be used by me, I will only use my talents!"

His goal is very clear, he wants to continue to expand his strength by recruiting talented people, and prepare for the possible retaliation of the Eastern Wei army at any time.

But he didn't expect that the first person he recruited in this recruiting order was actually a prisoner.

On the day Yuan Ke returned to Shouyang, he took Wang Lin to visit the prison.

Those few years in Jiaozhou made Yuan Ke understand a truth that would last him a lifetime, that is, there must be someone who can be used in prison.

So is Tian Feng, so is Sun Jiong, and so is Lu Zixiong.

At this time, Wang Lin has been promoted by Yuan Ke as the internal history of Shouyang by virtue of her long-term excellent performance and superb acting skills in bitter tricks.But he rarely showed any complacency, and he still followed Yuan Ke, waiting for orders.

After walking a few steps in the prison, they suddenly heard a clear shout: "Since King Pingnan is sincerely looking for talents, why would he miss a man of great talent?"

Yuan Ke turned his head, only to realize that the voice came from the cell at the end of the corridor.

"Wang Wei, shut up!" The warden was about to show off in front of Yuan Ke, and hurried towards the cell, cursing, "I haven't cleaned you up for two days, your skin is itchy, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Yuan Ke frowned, "Who is he?"

Unexpectedly, King Pingnan would condescend to talk to him. The warden blushed with excitement and said out of breath, "He...he...he is Hou Jing's buddy, named Wang Wei, I heard that This grandson has a bad stomach, don't be as knowledgeable as him, Your Majesty!"

"It's okay, you can step back." Yuan Ke told Wang Wei while walking towards Wang Wei.

After a while, a man with warm eyes and long beard hanging down his chest appeared in front of him.No matter how shabby the coarse, starched clothes on his body were, they couldn't make him lose his dignity, but the heavy shackles nailed to his hands and feet really made it difficult for him to move a single step.

Because of Hou Jing's status as a rebellious party, he would be executed in three days, but he met Yuan Ke before he was sentenced.

I don't know if it's his luck or Yuan Ke's luck.

Yuan Ke has heard of Wang Wei's name a long time ago, but his reputation is indeed not very good, so Yuan Ke still feels disgusted in his heart.

"You are Wang Wei?" Yuan Ke sarcastically said, "You look like a decent person, but why do you always do bad things?"

"Bad thing?" Wang Wei said with a smile, "Your Majesty thinks I'm a bad person because General Hou is hostile to Your Majesty. But from the standpoint of General Hou, I helped him get rid of the pursuit of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the entanglement of the Western Wei Dynasty. I happened to meet the king, and at this time General Hou had already made a comeback. The king asked himself, how many people in the world have this ability?"

"Perhaps what you said makes sense." Yuan Ke sneered, "But Hou Jing deceived me, Emperor Liang, in the name of submitting to him, but in fact he was deceitful. This kind of conspiracy really can't be put on the table. You are a talented person without virtue, even if you miss it, there is no pity!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Wang Wei's laughter came from behind him: "People in the world often say that when a bird is about to die, its song is mournful; when a man is about to die, his words are also kind. I, Wang Wei, Seeing the king is considered destined, so let me give you a piece of advice! In the battle against Wei, you can kill the enemy, but you can't take the land!"

As soon as he said this, Yuan Ke was shocked into a cold sweat.Yuan Ke turned around and quickly walked up to him, asking forcefully, "Who told you that I was going to kill Wei?"

"Your Majesty is trying to establish his prestige through military exploits in order to seek future affairs, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty is the best opponent." Wang Wei said unhurriedly, "What's more, the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Liang Guoben are currently at war. Isn't it normal to hit you?"

"Then why—" Yuan Ke blurted out, and realized that this is really not the place to talk in the middle of the sentence, so he quietly instructed Wang Lin and went out.

Wang Wei looked at Yuan Ke who was gradually going away, with a slight sly smile on his face—he was sure of this sudden interview.

Sure enough, that night, Wang Wei was blindfolded and brought to Pingnan Palace.When he pulled down the blindfold, Yuan Ke with a murderous face was sitting opposite him, staring at him coldly.

"I'll give you a chance. You'd better convince me to believe what you said during the day." Yuan Ke said, "Otherwise, next year today will be your death day!"
