C44 (1/2)

Looking at her leaving figure, Tang Yin took a while to regain his senses, and turned to look at the others. It was obvious that everyone had just realised that Ai Jia was a woman, and their eyes revealed their surprise and unknowingly strong interest.

Tang Yin tapped his forehead, then said: ”Wait a moment.”

Ai Jia stopped and half turned, asking: ”Does General Tang still have anything else?”

You stay here for now.” But let me get to the point, here, I won't take special care of anyone, male or female. ” Tang Yin didn't think much of Ai Jia, but he suddenly remembered a saying, ”A man and a woman should be compatible. If you leave Ai Jia as a vase, you should try it. After all, the Second Regiment has too many vacant posts now.

Ai Jia turned around and said sternly: ”I do not need General Tang to take special care of me, I only hope that he will treat me equally.”

”Very good.” Tang Yin was very satisfied with Ai Jia's attitude, he nodded and waved: ”Please come back and take a seat!”

When Ai Jia was seated, he said slowly, ”All of you are people that I have carefully selected. I believe all of you know your positions in the future, I don't care about your background or your family background. While she was speaking, he looked at Ai Jia one more time, and said: ”My principles are very simple. Now that the Second Regiment has been re-established, I hope all of you will work together to build up a strong army. Do not disappoint me, and even more so, do not let me think that my judgement of today is wrong! ”

”Please rest assured General Tang, we will do our best!” Li Wei, Liu Zhong Sheng, Chen Fang, and Ai Jia all stood up and answered in unison.

Tang Yin chuckled as he looked around at the crowd. After pausing for a moment, he took a deep breath and said clearly, ”Gu Yue, I appoint you as the first thousand man commander of the Second Regiment's first formation.”

After he finished speaking, Gu Yue sat on the chair and did not react for a long time.

He knew that Tang Yin wanted him to work for him, but he never expected him to give him the position of a Captain.

Qiu Zhen, who was sitting beside him, cleared his throat and nudged him with his elbow.

Gu Yue regained his senses and stuttered: ”Tang … General Tang... ”

”What is it? You don't accept it? ” Tang Yin looked at him, amused.

”No, no, no!” Gu Yue was only a captain in the past, but now he had become a Captain in one go. He shook his head and replied sternly: ”Thank you General Tang, this subordinate will follow your orders!”

Le Tian,” continued Tang Yin, ”I appoint you to be the commander of the second regiment; Li Wei, I appoint you to be the commander of the third regiment; Liu Zhong, I appoint you to be the commander of the fourth regiment; Chen Fang, I appoint you to be the commander of the fifth regiment of the second regiment; Ai Jia, I appoint you to be the commander of the sixth regiment of the second regiment.” Also, ”he looked at Qiu Zhen and asked half-jokingly,” Qiu Zhen, do you accept the position of vice regiment commander?

Although he had expected this to happen, Qiu Zhen's heart still warmed up and his body couldn't help but shiver slightly. He had joined the army precisely for this day, the day where he could soar into the heavens, and now, it proved even more that his decision to support Tang Yin back then was the most correct decision.

He sniffed and suppressed his excitement. He bowed and forced a smile onto his face, but his voice was still a little hoarse as he said, ”Thank you, big brother Tang … General Tang! ” He was well aware that in this kind of public place, it would not be appropriate for him to call Tang Yin Big Brother Tang.

”Actually, I should be thanking you!” Tang Yin said faintly.

The reason why he could remain in the army, was because Qiu Zhen had played a crucial role. If not for Qiu Zhen's persuasion, he would not even know where he would have run off to.

Qiu Zhen, Gu Yue, Le Tian, Li Wei, Liu Zhong Sheng, Chen Fang, Ai Jia were Tang Yin's first group of trusted aides. In the future, these people would become his most loyal followers, and would basically form the core of his power.

That evening, at Wu Mei's invitation, Tang Yin brought only Qiu Zhen to the Dancing Palace's banquet.

Although Wu Family was one of the main challengers, compared to Ziyang Family, she was much luckier, and did not receive too much punishment, so Feng King still had a lot of trust and importance in Wu Family.

Wu Family was one of the Four Major Clans of the Feng Country. They had many hanger-ons, huge powers, and when it came to hosting banquets, practically all of the famous families in the capital would send people to attend.

In front of the Dancing House, it was packed full of people.

When Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen arrived, many beautiful horse carriages lined the entire street. Very few people who came to attend the banquet rode in like the two.

He and Qiu Zhen looked at each other and smiled. They got off their horses and tied the reins to the horse stumps, then headed inside the house.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, before they could enter, the two of them were stopped by a guard at the gate.

The head guard sized them up a few times and coldly asked, ”Do you two have invitations?”

Wu Mei only invited Tang Yin to attend the banquet, but he did not give him any invitation. He shook her head and said: ”I did not invite him.”

”Then I'm sorry, but I can't let you in.”

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to speak, Wu Mei walked out from behind the door quickly and said to the guard leader coldly: ”The two of them are guests that I have invited, why are you stopping me?”

When the guard leader saw Wu Mei, his body trembled. He anxiously saluted and said, ”So you are Big Miss's guest. This subordinate does not know, but please forgive me.”

Wu Mei no longer bothered with him. She looked around at Tang Yin, smiled sweetly, and said gently: ”Tang Yin, follow me in!”

”Thank you, big miss!” Tang Yin imitated the guard leader's tone and said.

”Screech!” You sound pretty sweet when you scream! ” Wu Mei giggled.

As they chatted, the two of them had already entered the estate.

There were many people outside the manor, and there were even more people inside. There were too many officials and nobles, and countless servants were shuttling back and forth in the crowd. It was so lively that wine and food were served.
