Chapter 106: Lord! I Will Not Let You Down (2)
Zhao Yun bowed and said, "Greetings, General Long!"
"Zilong! From now on, you are my man. I will appoint you as a general under my command!" freewēbnoveℓ.com
Long Chen lifted Zhao Yun’s hand and spoke sincerely.
Zhao Yun’s eyes flickered.
He didn’t expect General Long to value him so much!
After a brief pause, with confusion, he asked, "Zilong has a question."
"Why did General Gongsun let us follow you?"
Long Chen replied seriously, "It’s like this, Zilong! I have a good relationship with Brother Boge, and our light cavalry in the army is too weak and not skilled in cavalry warfare. That’s why I asked Brother Boge to help me train the soldiers!"
Zhao Yun’s eyes brightened, and he asked again, "So, after training the light cavalry under your command, can we return to General Gongsun’s side?"
Long Chen shook his head and said, "Zilong, I won’t hide it from you. Brother Boge has already sold you to me..."
With a handsome and charismatic face, Zhao Yun couldn’t believe it and exclaimed, "Wh... what... sold... sold us..."
"Just like that... like items... sold us as if we were goods?"
Long Chen patted Zhao Yun’s shoulder and said, "Zilong, rest assured, I won’t casually sell you out like Gongsun Zan! As long as I have something to eat, you will too! And to be honest, you’ve been with Gongsun Zan for quite some time, but you’ve only reached the rank of Centurion..."
"I can’t bear to see Gongsun Zan treat you, a precious gem, like an ordinary stone, letting you gather dust! That’s why I came up with this plan to trade for you! But don’t worry, you will be valued under my command, and besides, you want to serve a lord who implements benevolent rule, right? That’s me! You’ll see when we return to Jiujian Commandery!"
With each word Long Chen spoke, the icy demeanor of Zhao Yun melted a bit. In the end, tears glistened in Zhao Yun’s eyes...
Because... he had never been valued like this before! ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
From childhood to adulthood, except for his beloved brother and mentor Tong Yuan, who treated him with sincere regard, no one in the world had treated him this way.
Even Liu Xuan De, whom he had a favorable impression of, had never valued him like this before.
And... moreover, the other party is one of the renowned Grand Commanders in the world!
"Ding! Congratulations on breaking through Zhao Yun’s mental barrier! Now Zhao Yun’s favorability towards you has increased to 68 (has the intention to submit)."
Long Chen was overjoyed!
Quickly gripping Zhao Yun’s hand, he spoke, "And I’ve also considered your concerns! You have a blood brother in Changshan, and I’ve already dispatched five hundred light cavalry to welcome him. I believe he will return to Jiujian Commandery soon!"
This statement seemed like the final blow to break down Zhao Yun’s defenses!
As soon as these words were spoken, a metallic sound echoed in Long Chen’s mind.
"Ding! The five-star General Zhao Yun’s favorability towards you has increased to 70 (loyalty)."
Zhao Yun knelt down, clasped his fists, and spoke sincerely, "My lord, I bow before you! From this day forward, Zhao Yun is willing to devote himself entirely to my lord, not hesitating to give my life!"
Long Chen hastily raised Zhao Yun and exclaimed joyfully, "Zilong, please rise quickly, please rise quickly!"
"With Zilong by my side, it’s like Xiang Yu having Long Que!"
(Long Que was the top general under Xiang Yu)
Hearing Long Chen’s praise and elevated position for him, Zhao Yun’s heart became even more steadfast.
My lord! Since you treat me so well, I will definitely not let you down!!!
