"Greetings, Your Highnesses!"

At the city gate, Jin Ge bowed to the two men.

While bowing, Jin Ge kept turning his head to wink at everyone, urging them to bow as well.

The newcomers were none other than the thousands of soldiers and horses returning on horseback, escorting the grain supplies.

These past few years have brought about tremendous changes, and it's understandable that they don't recognize the vast army, but the proper etiquette must still be observed.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Everyone followed suit and bowed.

As they bowed, they couldn't help but steal glances at the two burly men riding warhorses in front of them.

They were enormous, with broad backs and thick waists, and their warhorses looked tiny and overwhelmed beneath their weight.

"Your Highness? Why do they look like this? They don't look like the Emperor of Great Zhou at all. They look more like people from our grasslands."

"You're so stupid, because they're not princes of the Great Zhou at all, but the Empress's brothers."

"Oh, I see. Now that you mention it, I remember. There were indeed two princes in Northern Mang, but they have long been stripped of their titles."

The soldiers whispered among themselves before they figured out who the two men were.

At this moment, thousands of soldiers and horses also fell off their horses.

"Jin Ge, don't call us princes anymore. We brothers are no longer princes."

It wasn't that the Northern Barbarians removed them from the list, but rather that the Empress had specifically reminded them.

From now on, do not refer to yourselves as princes, but as generals of the Great Zhou. The two brothers will always keep this in mind.

"Jin Ge, who are they?"

Qianjun saw the soldiers behind Jin Ge and asked.

Everyone says the two brothers are foolish, but over the years, they have grown a lot.

Although his mind is still not very sharp, he is no different from a normal person.

Jin Ge quickly explained, "Oh, they were originally prisoners of war, but now they have turned to the light."

"The Northern Barbarians?"

"yes!"

Qianjun grinned and waved his hand, "Then they'll belong to the two of us brothers from now on."

Jin Ge was taken aback, then quickly cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, this is against the rules!"

"rule?"

Qianjun said, "We brothers are bound by rules. Alright, don't worry about this. If anything goes wrong, we brothers will take responsibility."

After he finished speaking, Qianjun sent men to forcibly take these people away.

No one dared to resist; they could only look at Jin Ge and ask what to do.

To be honest, Jin Ge treated them really well, and they wanted to work for him long-term.

Although the thousands of soldiers were also Northern Barbarians, they did not know what the two brothers' temperaments were like, and their future was uncertain. They did not want to gamble their future.

Jin Ge knew the two brothers' tempers, and there was nothing he could do but wish them good luck in his heart.

Everyone was somewhat worried, but there was one exception: Ba Ye.

They didn't understand the vast army, but he knew it perfectly well, having heard it from the generals around him.

It is said that if they had a thousand troops, they would not have to worry about breaking the Great Zhou's formation. Both brothers were extremely brave and were among the most formidable generals in the world.

He also knew that the two brothers were not very bright, a condition they had developed since childhood.

By staying by the brothers' side, he could easily gain their trust and get them to do things for him.

After taking the men away, Qianjun made them work, escorting the grain back to the warehouse in the city.

When bags of grain and fodder were unloaded from the truck and moved into the warehouse, Ba Ye worked harder than anyone else.

This scene was witnessed by thousands of soldiers, and both of them nodded in satisfaction.

"What's your name?"

Qianjun couldn't help but ask.

Ba Ye quickly cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the General, my name is Ba Ye."

At this moment, Qianjun's trusted confidant couldn't help but whisper in his ear, "General, this man used to be a general in Northern Mang, and he's a key person to watch."

Qianjun couldn't help but glance at Ba Ye again, and said, "So you're a general too. It's alright, it's alright."

After he finished speaking, the entire army departed.

Watching the two brothers leave, Ba Ye was not discouraged.

Gaining the trust of the two brothers is not something that can be done overnight.

But now he works under the two brothers, so he has plenty of opportunities.

So the jungler worked even harder...

……

Three days later, Ba Ye was successfully summoned by the two brothers for a private audience.

Ba Ye knew that he had successfully attracted the attention of the two brothers by working hard these past few days.

Inside the tent, Ba Ye followed the messenger in and saluted, saying, "Ba Ye greets the two generals!"

The two brothers were eating meat and drinking wine heartily. It was clear that the military prohibitions could not restrain them. Either the meat and wine were a reward from the Emperor of the Great Zhou, to reward the two brothers for their merit in escorting the grain.

"No need for such formalities."

Qianjun waved his hand, gesturing for Baye to stand up, "Sit down, we Northern Barbarians don't have so many rules among ourselves."

Ba Ye couldn't figure out Qian Jun's meaning, and didn't dare to sit down casually, so he remained standing.

Qianjun's eyes widened: "What, are you taking my words as mere whispers in the wind?!"

Ba Ye then sat down, but he was very reserved.

He waved his hand, and a soldier came in and placed a bowl of meat in front of Ba Ye.

At this moment, Wanma said, "Eat up. No one else gets the treatment you do. You've been working the hardest these past few days. We brothers have seen everyone else slacking off. We like people like you."

Ba Ye cupped his hands in thanks, appearing quite pleased: "Thank you both, Generals. It's nothing I should do."

After saying that, Ba Ye picked up the meat in the bowl with both hands and began to eat it eagerly, his mouth full of oil.

Seeing this scene, the thousands of soldiers couldn't help but smile. This was how the Northern Barbarians should eat meat heartily.

As he was eating, he heard Qian Junwan ask, "What are your plans for the future?"

Ba Ye mumbled incoherently, "I will follow the arrangements of the two generals."

What arrangements could he possibly make? Although he was no longer a prisoner of war, his background as a general of the Northern Barbarians still made him suffer discrimination in the city, even being treated worse than an ordinary soldier.

His life or death hinged on a single word from the people of the Great Zhou.

"Then from now on, you will serve as our personal guard."

Ba Ye quickly stood up. "Thank you, Generals."

He was more than happy to be arranged this way. Not just anyone could become a bodyguard. It would make things much easier for him in the future.

After finishing the meat and chatting for a while, Ba Ye was taken out and given the clothes and weapons of a personal guard.

The man who took him to collect his equipment was named Tian San. Ba Ye initially thought he was from the Great Zhou, but after chatting with him, he learned that he was also from the Northern Mang and had changed his name to show his loyalty to the Great Zhou.

Ba Ye despised such people from the bottom of his heart, but now he needed to gain Tian San's trust.

As Ba Ye was putting on his armor, Tian San kindly reminded him, "Now that you're a general's personal guard, forget your former status, stay here and do your job well. Don't harbor any bad intentions. You and I both know that Northern Mang will undoubtedly lose this battle."

"Understood, understood." Ba Ye nodded repeatedly.
