Pig Killer

Chapter 357

The king's bottomless black pupils flashed with anger due to the choking. "You ungrateful little boy! I am already giving you face by condescending to pay you tribute."

How dare you be so disrespectful to me, so arrogant and presumptuous!

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zeng stepped forward quickly and asked the king to pay tribute to their general.

After the king paid his respects, he looked at the mourning hall with tears in his eyes and said, "General, rest in peace. The young general will definitely take good care of you."

Mr. Zeng secretly tugged at his own general's sleeve and said, "Return the greeting! After all, he is the king."

Upon hearing this, Young General Yu held back and said, "Thank you for your care, Your Majesty. I will definitely lead the three armies well and overthrow the court." His words were filled with murderous intent.

The king looked at the unruly young general, a guy who was barely even grown up, so irritable and unaware that a little impatience could ruin a great plan.

The ministers accompanying the Great Dynasty winked at each other and asked, "Who is Huang Qing?"

Huang Zhongchang looked at them. Who were they calling?

Seeing no one respond, the king winked and said, "Mr. Huang, the Mr. Huang who saved our general."

Yu Luo approached Huang Zhongchang and reminded him, "The king called you, Mr. Huang!"

"Oh!" Huang Zhongchang quickly clasped his hands together and saluted, "Your Majesty!"

"You are indeed extremely brave," the king said, looking at him with shining eyes, and said happily, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite."

What a strong man! He is so tall! He is half a head taller than me, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a silly look on his face.

Judging from his face and figure, he looks like a farmer.

According to the information he had inquired about, the civilian laborer who was building the imperial mausoleum escaped. He was able to escape from the capital, which showed that he was a capable person.

Huang Zhongchang stood up straight and looked at the energetic old man in front of him. This mental state was not the frail old man described by his own Mr. Zhang.

These days, this power really makes people radiant.

"Thank you for taking the risk and rescuing my general." The king took two steps back and bowed solemnly.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Huang Zhongchang avoided him and bowed, "The righteous army in the world is one family. This is what I should do."

"If you hadn't rescued me, I can't imagine how the government troops would have treated the remains of my general." The king said with deep emotion, "Mr. Huang is so righteous. I will now confer the title of Marquis of Wu'an on you, grant you a house, a thousand taels of gold, and a hundred pieces of forged steel."

Huang Zhongchang looked at the king in bewilderment. He was conferred a title of nobility just like that. This was inappropriate in front of Young General Yu!

The middle-aged man behind the king smiled and bowed, "Congratulations to Marquis Wu'an, congratulations to Marquis Wu'an." He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are so happy to see Marquis Wu'an."

"Haha..." The king smiled when he heard this. He was stunned by the great news. He looked behind him and said, "Lord Li."

Young General Yu's face turned pale and he clenched his teeth. He wished he could chop this fake guy to pieces right now. Damn it, he was causing trouble at his father's funeral.

What does that mean? I can only be his sworn brother.

And the king is a marquis as soon as he makes a move!

What do you want to do?

Mr. Zeng quickly stepped forward and grabbed his own major general to prevent him from getting angry and unable to bear it.

Nothing can go wrong at this funeral, we have to endure it even if we can't bear it.

Li Yi understood what Huang Zhongchang meant and stood in front of him, smiling and flattering him, "Marquis Wu'an, you are the Marquis! Why don't you accept the decree and thank him?"

"How come he is a marquis?" Huang Zhongchang said in confusion as he looked at the fat and smiling official in front of him.

"You saved General Yu, and this is the king's reward." Li Yi said with a smile.

"Does my sworn brother have it?" Huang Zhongchang blinked and looked at General Yu and asked.

"He didn't." Li Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then said.

"Then I can't accept it." Huang Zhongchang shook his head like a rattle and looked at the king and said.

Young General Yu looked at his newly acknowledged brother in astonishment.

"Why not?" Li Yi said to him with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"We are brothers now, sharing joys and sorrows. How can it be that I have it and he doesn't?" Huang Zhongchang said, looking at him with his black and white eyes.

"Brother?" The king's cloudy eyes slightly opened and his sharp gaze swept over them.

"Oh! We are..." Huang Zhongchang said immediately after hearing this, and then he hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my brother and I have just sworn brotherhood in this mourning hall. We will share joys and sorrows, life and death together."

This brat, the king cursed in his heart, he was so quick to act, this is a method of winning people's hearts, look at how grateful Huang is.

I am so proud of this marquis that he even brought Young General Yu with him. He is really a man of honor, the king said sarcastically in his heart, staring at him with his black eyes. After all, this man is quite upright and righteous.

Lord, right? I can just give him a reward! It's just an empty title. I'll give him as much as he wants.

"I can't accept this marquis." Huang Zhongchang said frankly after hearing this.

"It's rare that Mr. Huang is so affectionate and righteous. I will confer the title of Marquis of Chang'an on General Yu!" the king said readily.

Young General Yu almost exploded with anger when he heard this. Damn, who are they humiliating?

Mr. Zeng held his arm tightly, squeezed it, and comforted him.

"Marquis Wu'an, Marquis Chang'an, why don't you accept the order and express your gratitude?" Li Yi said, looking at the two men who were motionless.

Thanks for nothing! General Yu looked at the king and the flatterer with a sullen face.

Huang Zhongchang stared at General Yu with his dark eyes without blinking. Seeing that General Yu's face was full of anger and he didn't show any sign of thanking him, he did not move either.

The silence in the mourning hall was eerily quiet, and the atmosphere was so tense that one dared not even breathe.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Zeng quickly said, "Your Majesty, the time has come. We should send General Yu off." He glanced at his own major general and winked at him.

"I thank the king for his grace." Young General Yu said unwillingly, and his attitude was as perfunctory as possible.

The king was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring, but he couldn't lose his temper in the mourning hall. The dead are the most important, so he just endured it.

"Oh!" Huang Zhongchang clasped his hands together and hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

"No thanks." The king waved his hand gently.

"Marquis Wu'an, you are a marquis now, not a commoner." Li Yi kindly reminded him, "You should say 'minister'. I thank the king for his grace."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Huang Zhongchang's eyes flickered as he heard this and he said again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

"My dear Li, let's go back! Don't delay General Yu's funeral." The king looked at Li Yi and said directly.

"Return to the palace." Li Yi shouted loudly.

"I am in deep mourning, so I will not see you off, Your Majesty." Young General Yu said bluntly and unceremoniously.

The king endured it and said, "Okay!" Anyway, the person was already dead, so the threat to him was much less.
