Chapter 550
"No, general, no!" After hearing these words, the guards were stunned for a moment, and then shouted in unison.
"The only way is to get most people, including my son, away alive."
"No!" the guards shouted again.
"Lao Zhang, Xiao Zhao, all of you said when you became my guard that you would obey my orders and would never violate them." He Pu suddenly said this when he saw everyone insisting.
"We did say this. But the meaning of this sentence is to protect the general's life to the death. The general's current order is to give up protecting the general, and we cannot obey our orders." Lao Zhang said immediately.
"Yes, yes, I can't obey orders!" everyone said.
"You must obey!" He Pushi kept speaking softly, and his tone finally became tough. "Do you want me to be the queen of the He family?"
"How dare I have such an idea!"
“Since you don’t have this idea, you must obey my orders.
Some of you worked as my guard before the arrival of the Great Cannibal, and some of you worked as the one after the arrival of the Great Cannibal. But both before and after, you are from Suiye Town and know my past. I am almost fifty years old this year and have married many concubines to give birth to a son, but in the end there is only one son in Changsheng, and it is unlikely that you will have another son in this life.
Therefore, the most important thing for you is not to protect my life, but to protect my life forever! If he dies, what is the point of my life even if I live?
I might as well die at the hands of the cannibals and let you keep my son alive!”
"General, we can protect the general and the major general." Lao Zhang said again.
"What if the protection fails?" He Pu asked, "Don't say you will die with us! What's the use of that to me? My son is still dead! I want to make sure that I can live forever."
As he said that, he suddenly knelt down to the guards and said before they spoke: "I beg you, and I must protect my son to survive!"
"General!" Everyone hurriedly knelt down.
"You must agree to me!" He Pu said with his hands.
"Okay, General, I promise you!" Old Zhang was silent for a long time and agreed.
"Where are you?"
"I agree too!"
"I agree too!"
The guards agreed.
"Thank you!" He Pu said, kowtowed to everyone. Everyone hurriedly returned the salute.
After the matter was finally settled, He Pu did not waste any time. He immediately ordered his servant to carry his son out of the inner room, ordered all servants to be killed, and then put his son beside Lao Zhang and said to all the guards: "I will entrust you to immortality.
I know that some of you have been complaining about me in your heart after the Great Food Army had to withdraw from Suiye Town, believing that I should not have been loyal to the Great Food Army at the beginning, and there was no chance that I could have fallen back.
Your complaints are correct, so I have never punished you for complaining, and I am grateful that you have not betrayed me like Tang Shaodong."
"Since we have collected the salary of the general, we naturally have to serve the general. As for the thief like Tang Shaodong, even if he re-submitted to Anxi, he will be despised and will not end well!" Xiao Zhao said.
"Thank you." He Pu said with a smile, and said, "But you are not a slave who sells you to me, and you have no obligation to be loyal to my son. I don't ask you to continue to be loyal to immortality, just ask you to take him out of the city and hide your identity in one place and protect him until he gets married and has children.
Changsheng is nine years old this year, and he can get married at the age of sixteen. You only need to protect him for another seven years. In these seven years, you can also do your own things, marry and have children, and run a business without protecting him at all times. He is a young man whose identity is not known, and not many people will think of assassinating him.
I won't let you protect you for nothing." He Pu said, walked into the dormitory again, and soon pulled out a box from the dormitory and put it in front of everyone. When he opened it, a golden light shone in front of everyone.
"Xi!" The sound of everyone breathing in, obviously being shocked by so much gold.
"This is more than one thousand taels of gold. In the past few days, I have secretly exchanged all the copper coins, silver and other valuable things in my hand for gold. I will give all of these gold to you!
Lao Zhang and Xiao Zhao. You two are the guard leaders, each of whom is 80 taels of gold.
Lao Qi, you twenty-two are still willing to protect my guards, each of whom is fifty taels of gold.
There are 1,291 taels of gold in total. After you have divided it, there are still 31 taels left. These 31 taels will be left for my son to spend money."
"This, General, leave all these golds to the young master, don't give them to us." Seeing so much gold at once, even though he was often rewarded by He Pu, Lao Zhang was stunned. Before he could come back to his senses, he heard the general's words and said immediately. But there seemed to be a hint of hesitation in his tone.
"What's the point for him?" He Pu smiled and said, "He is a child, and it's useless to keep so much gold. Thirty-one taels are enough for him to buy a lot of land and have no worries about food and clothing.
On the contrary, you are young and strong, and you should have more money.
OK, don’t hesitate, you can’t waste it here when you don’t have much time.”
"Since the general said this, my subordinates would be disrespectful." Lao Zhang agreed, looked at Xiao Zhao and walked to the box and reached out to take out eight ten taels of gold ingots from each of them.
After they finished taking it, the remaining twenty-two guards also came over and each took five gold ingots. The last three gold ingots and a small gold ingot were taken out of the box by He Pu and placed in his son's hand.
His son obviously didn't quite understand what was going on. He wanted to ask a question, but his father stopped him.
"General, don't worry, we will protect the young master's safety until he gets married and has children." Lao Zhang and Xiao Zhao promised again.
"Don't worry, General, we will protect the young master from living safely until he gets married and has children!" Everyone said in unison.
"Okay, there's not much time left. You guys quickly bring your luggage with you, don't waste your time."
He Pu said, squatted down and said to his son, "You go with everyone."
"Yeah, are you going to escape again?"
"Yes, I'm going to run away again."
"Then I'll go back and pack up."
"There is no time left." He Pu glanced at him, saw that the guards had already put their luggage on, and said to his son: "You follow everyone immediately." He looked at Lao Zhang again.
"Young Master, follow us." Old Zhang came over and picked up He Changsheng and said to him softly.
"Yeah, aren't you going to go together?" He Changsheng asked when he saw that his father was not wearing like the guards.
"I'll leave later, and there are still some things to deal with."
"I'll leave in a while, too."
"No, you must leave immediately! Hold him away!"
"Yes." Lao Zhang agreed and hugged He Changsheng and turned away. Because He Changsheng had fled several times before and his father had passed away, he did not bother him anymore and was carried away by Lao Zhang.
Seeing his son leave, He Pu couldn't help but smile and sat back on the chair.
He wanted to wait quietly for a while, and then take poison after a sound came from outside. But somehow, he picked up the paper and pen and leaned down and started writing.
