Kai Fu Han

Chapter 475
"Chief, what should we do with the enemy general who opened the city gate?" the rebel leader asked Xiao En (Ruan Xiaoqi).

There are more than a dozen defenders kneeling inside the south gate of Nanhua County. These people have been disarmed by the rebels. Apart from simple clothes, other protective armor and thick coats have been taken off.There were a few defenders and traitors wearing only single clothes, shivering from the cold in this late autumn afternoon.

When Xiao En heard the question from his men, he wanted to say "cut it off!", but he couldn't.

Having had the experience of gathering together in Liangshan, Xiao En especially hated this kind of treacherous and buyer-seeking people.However, his identity is different now. The Xingren Yijun is not a bandit who just grabs a vote and leaves. After all, these people rebelled in front of the battle and opened the city gate for their own side. Killing them without permission will make the future enemies of the Xingren Yijun die. , The same hatred.

"Give them some bounty and then let them go." Xiao En suppressed his disgust and ordered his subordinates.Without talking to these people, he passed directly past the dozen kneeling traitors and entered Nanhua City.

As the county magistrate was hanged by the traitors, the city was already leaderless and in chaos. After entering the city, the rebel army did not fight with the defenders in the streets, but maintained law and order in the city and eliminated the ruffians who took advantage of the chaos to do evil.

Entering the city, some heads have been hung up at the entrances of some neighbors. These heads are from ruffians who have done evil, to warn others not to fish in troubled waters.

"Brother, come here quickly." A voice called from the front, it was Mr. Xiao.

"Here we come, brother." Xiao En quickened his pace.

As the Xingren Rebel Army grew stronger day by day, Xiao En became more sincere in calling Mr. Xiao his eldest brother.At present, the Xingren Yijun has occupied Jiyin, Wanting and Chengshi counties in Xingren Prefecture, as well as the entire Guangji Army.

Counting Nanhua County occupied today, the entire Xingren Prefecture was occupied by the Xingren Army.Xingrenjun's territory developed to include two states.

"Brother, what's the matter?" He walked up to Mr. Xiao.

"Look at this house, isn't it rich?"

Only then did Xiao En realize that Mr. Xiao was standing in front of the door of a very luxurious mansion. The plaque hanging on the door said "Sun Mansion". It was unknown which high-ranking official named Sun owned the house.

"It is indeed rich." Not knowing what Mr. Xiao wanted to do, Xiao En could only reply in agreement.

"Do you like it?" Mr. Xiao asked.

"Of course I like such a nice house." Xiao En replied. There was no need to look inside. Just by looking at the front door, one could tell that the inside was not much different.

"Then I'll give it to you to live in." Mr. Xiao said, "The house hasn't been searched yet, so all the property in the house will be given to you."

"This is impossible. The eldest brother doesn't have such a good house yet, how can the younger brother get the first step?" Xiao En quickly refused.

"You and I are different. I am the leader of the rebel army. I can have anything I want, but I can't take it. If I start enjoying wealth now, the people below will definitely follow suit." Mr. Xiao said: "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Have you heard the truth?"

"Yes, I've heard of it." Xiao En nodded.

"So I can't enjoy this now. I have to stay diligent and frugal until my great career is accomplished." Mr. Xiao said these words, showing his great trust in Xiao En, which can be said to be sincere.

As a leader, such words must not be said to outsiders or subordinates. Xiao En felt very comfortable when he felt this. This feeling of being trusted touched Xiao En's heart very much. "But, as the second-in-command of the rebels, shouldn't I be consistent with you?" Xiao En asked.

"You are different. You are not the leader after all. In recent times, you have taken the lead in every attack on the city and have made great contributions. I reward you with this house to set an example for the people below. Let them know that if you have merit, you will succeed. If you are rewarded, if you dare to work hard, you will have a future.'" Mr. Xiao explained.

Xiao En understood what the leader meant. He was setting an example. Rewarding himself was not only for his own merits, but also to show off to the people below.

There may be a deeper meaning, such as being rewarded by the leader, Mr. Xiao, which determines the priority in the eyes of the people below.Because since ancient times, only superiors reward subordinates, and no subordinates reward superiors.

Xiao En did not want to receive this reward.It's not easy to meet a promising organization and a leader with great ambitions. He won't just think about "killing people, setting fires, and being recruited." He himself also wants to do something big, and he also wants to lead by example and set an example.

But after all, he is not the leader. Just by listening to his name, he can tell that "Mr. Xiao" belongs to the kind of person who is more refined.Recently, he has been at the forefront of the continuous siege of cities and territories. Someone must feel that his contribution is greater than Mr. Xiao's.In fact, Xiao En himself knows that the most important thing is that Mr. Xiao is strategizing from behind.With Mr. Xiao's support behind me, I can feel at ease and move forward wholeheartedly.

The top soldiers under his command will definitely not understand this.

Since ancient times, those with great achievements will not end well, so Xiao En decided that from now on, it would be better for him to have some negative hobbies.

For example: Love money?
"Then I'll thank you, brother. I deserve it." Xiao En accepted Mr. Xiao's reward with a happy face, and then eagerly stepped forward and opened the door of "Sun Mansion".

Opposite the gate is a huge screen wall with a whole set of landscape paintings carved on it. With Xiao En's level of appreciation, he can only tell that this landscape screen wall must be of great value because it looks very comfortable.

"What a nice house. From today on, this place will be called 'Xiao Mansion'." Xiao En shouted happily.

"As long as you like it." Mr. Xiao followed Xiao En in and walked around the house briefly.

This house is very large, probably more than five acres.There are many rooms inside, and according to preliminary counting, there should be more than forty. There is a garden in the backyard, and a martial arts arena in the front yard.

"It's such a nice house." Xiao En said sincerely.
"I'm a little envious." Mr. Xiao said sourly.

"Hahaha, brother, don't worry." Xiao En comforted: "When you achieve great things, we will build you the most noble palace in history."

"Then I'll look forward to it first." Mr. Xiao replied with a smile.

The two brothers are 'brothers, friends and brothers', and they feel much more harmonious and sincere than before.

"You should have a good rest these days. The autumn harvest has been completed. When the autumn taxes come up and we have money and food, we can continue to conquer the west. You will be very busy by then." Mr. Xiao said this, as if he thought of something , asked Xiao En: "Do you think it would be inappropriate for us to continue to call the 'Xingren Rebels' by then? We have to think of a resounding name."

"Obligated." Xiao En handed over his hand and did not answer the leader's question about naming the rebels. The name of the rebels could only be decided by the leader. He still understood this rule.

The two chatted for another quarter of an hour before Mr. Xiao took his leave to attend to official duties and maintain stability in the city.Xiao En stayed in the house honestly, enjoying his new home and avoiding public appearances that would affect Mr. Xiao's status.
